Of course, the final result is well known to all. Instead of being able to resolve the crisis, the artificial beings brought about the harm of a second disaster.
If Lingling had not spoken out these specific matters, not many people would have known about them. What's more, now, thirty days and nights later, the only record left is the fact that Lingling had led this project.
In the history recorded by modern human civilization, the Sage was the great contributor to resolving the Second Disaster and the hero who allowed civilization to continue to this day.
But this ancient experimental record reveals another horrifying statement: the wise man was well aware of the dangers of artificial people with special abilities, but he let it go and did not choose to restrict them.
On the contrary, if this record is true, the Sage is the mastermind behind the Second Cataclysm. Under her manipulation, human civilization was almost destroyed.
Why did the wise man do this
The most easily associated thing is... power.
The reborn human civilization was controlled by the Sage for twenty-four days and nights. She was long regarded as a hero of mankind and an omnipotent god.
Even though she later voluntarily gave up her status as a "god" and the power to control everything, it still could not change the fact that she once had these.
Except for interns like Celis, all the reporters invited here are elites from major media outlets.
They saw the value of this experimental record at a glance. Countless possibilities flashed through their minds in an instant, and their breathing became rapid.
No matter where the reporters lean, no matter whether they believe in the authenticity of this experimental record, the most undeniable fact is... the significance represented by this experimental record is unparalleled.
Chen Hui... indeed sent a great gift.
For a moment, media reporters have already thought about how to write tomorrow's news headlines and how to dig out this shocking and even terrifying fact.
Too exaggerated...
The savior, the wise man, is actually a demon who destroys the world for his own selfish desires
How many hidden secrets are there about the second disaster that year
In any case, there is no need to worry about the news content in the next two or three months.
Lingling read the entire experimental record verbatim, and she was surprised to find that it was indeed a real experimental record, but the author was not her.
Someone copied the record in her handwriting and signed it with her name.
"It seems that Celis knew the dangers of the experiment, but chose to conceal it..."
Ling Ling sighed secretly in her heart. She actually had a vague guess that because she opposed this project, Celis had been unwilling to let her get in touch with first-hand experimental data.
Therefore, even though Lingling was leading the development, she actually knew nothing about the experimental process and only knew the final result.
Ling Ling knew that Celis might not have bad intentions, but she was relatively radical, just not to the level of Gao Tong who was crazy.
It can be seen from Celis's fascination with the world outside the sky that she is an ambitious planner, and the No. 1 Ground Tower is her stage.
But in the end, Celis failed. She died in Lingling's arms during the Second Cataclysm. Lingling followed her last wish and scattered Celis's bones into the unknown deep space.
While Lingling was immersed in past memories, reporters were engaging in a heated discussion regarding this experimental record.
Some people think it is true, some people think it is false, in short, there are different opinions, but this has achieved Chen Sirui's ultimate goal, and he has already revealed a bright smile.
As everyone was getting excited, a reporter stood up and said in a stern voice,
"Why not just ask the wise man?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all quarrels stopped instantly.
Everyone looked at each other, but fell silent at the same time.
The reporter who stood up was Sissi. As a reporter for the official media, she was of course on the side of the Sage, even though those who supported the Sage seemed to be at a disadvantage now.
Xixi looked around and said word by word, "I am willing to believe in the wise man, and I am sure that the wise man will give us a satisfactory answer."
After he finished speaking, the reporters all showed hesitation, and it was obvious that they were unwilling to face the wise man directly.
She is a living legend in this world... Just standing in front of her takes away all my courage, so how can I dare to question her
Chen Sirui didn't react much. This move was also within his expectations.
But what does it matter? No matter how the wise man explains, there will always be people who don't believe it. It is impossible to convince everyone.
It is enough to ignite the spark of doubt.
"Of course, of course... The Sage will definitely be willing to answer." Chen Sirui nodded slightly and said with a smile, "According to some gossip, she should propose a motion again in the parliament before the next cycle begins.
"After the hearing is over, you can find an opportunity to verify this with her."
Chen Sirui's words put all the reporters in a dilemma, and the long hesitation did not bring any response.
However, the reporters' reactions were indifferent, and Luo Xue and Su Yiyao, who were eavesdropping nearby, were stunned.
"Ling Ling... is she still alive?"
From their few words, Luo Xue already knew that this wise man was Ling Ling, but because they had been discussing things that happened three thousand years ago, Luo Xue felt a little desperate after listening to them.
Three thousand years! That’s three thousand years!
A thousand years might be enough to wait for some remnant echoes of souls, but three thousand years... let alone innate masters, even the soul may not be able to survive for such a long time.
There might be a slight chance of seeing the residual soul while building the foundation, but Ling Ling, who only has the breathing technique, can't even break through the soul, so how can it be possible to build the foundation
So after hearing this, Luo Xue was completely disheartened, until she heard what Xixi shouted, and then she regained some confidence.
But when she thought... that she might have to go to Ling Ling's grave to question her, Luo Xue felt a little depressed again.
In the end, it was Chen Sirui's words that confirmed this fact, confirming that Ling Ling is still alive in this world and has not yet been separated from Luo Xue by the Yin and Yang, with the old sending off the young.
But how did Lingling do it
It is absolutely impossible to break through to the Soul Condensation Stage through the Breathing Technique. This is the inherent limitation of this technique. Even the most outstanding genius cannot do it.
With this doubt in mind, Luo Xue continued to listen carefully.

Chapter 259: Half True, Half False
When Chen Sirui finished speaking, all the reporters fell silent.
They knew very well that if they asked the wise man for confirmation, no matter what answer they got, it would be a hot topic that would spark discussion and bring incalculable benefits.
But... do they really have the courage to bring up this kind of ambiguous evidence, this kind of topic that might offend the sage, in front of this legendary figure who spanned thirty days and nights
No one knows what the consequences of doing so will be, and not many people dare to bear the consequences of doing so.
In the end, it was Sissi who stood up. As the official media with the closest relationship with the Sage, she at least knew a little about this mysterious legendary figure.
She felt that the wise man... would not be angry about this.
"When the time comes, I will invite the Sage to clarify this misunderstanding once and for all."
Sissi said this in a decisive tone, but from her slightly clenched fists one could tell that she had mustered great courage.
"I am looking forward to it. Like you, I also believe that the Sage will not do anything that will betray human civilization."
Chen Sirui looked at Xixi with a half-smile. It seemed that the success of the plan had far exceeded his expectations and was worth the trip to the tower ruins.
Xixi snorted coldly. The reporters present could more or less see what Chen Sirui really wanted to do. Regardless of whether this experimental record was true or false, it would be the decisive evidence for him to completely dethrone the Sage.
If they really believed it... why would they gather so many media reporters together, and why would they say such ambiguous words
Up to now, the purpose of this trip to the ruins tower has been completed. Some reporters are still unwilling to give up and want to continue to stay here to see if they can find some evidence. However, due to the presence of other colleagues, they are too embarrassed to stay here.
Moreover, the environment on the first floor had indeed brought a lot of shadows, and I didn’t seem to have the courage to stay alone.
So, after the assistant carefully put away the experimental record, Chen Sirui signaled to everyone that it was time to leave.
However... from the reporters' evasive gazes, it can be seen that they will definitely find an opportunity to come back here later to see if they can find more items or records related to the Sage.
It is foreseeable that after this news breaks out, all the ancient monuments before the second disaster will usher in a second spring. By then, this storm will only have just begun.
It's just... the person involved doesn't seem to care much about it.
After expressing her feelings, Ling Ling lost interest in the experimental record. She was more concerned about the threat in the ruins of the tower that made her feel uneasy.
She instinctively felt that there seemed to be some danger lurking in this tower, or in the eighth floor.
This danger was not fatal, but it made her feel vaguely uneasy and anxious.
Ling Ling didn't care about Chen Sirui's attempt to stigmatize her. There were not many records of this in history, but in fact she encountered it once in a while, big or small.
Especially six days and nights ago, when Ling Ling had not yet completely let go of power.
There are believers who worship her fanatically, and of course there are also paranoid opponents and conspiracy theorists. The debate between the two factions has lasted for who knows how long. All kinds of things have happened, and she is tired of watching it.
The drama now was nothing but a replay of past events. Ling Ling took another look at it because the record reminded her of her late friend Celis.
But this news was great news for Luo Xue, who had been hiding nearby. She stared at Xixi closely and decided to follow the reporter and use him to find Lingling.
Su Yiyao next to her kept staring at a woman in a black dress who was a certain distance away from Xixi and was followed by a blonde girl. The black mask covered the woman's face, and the wide-brimmed veil made her look like she was shrouded in a veil of mystery.
The reason why Su Yiyao noticed the woman in the black dress was that she was the only one who avoided almost all of her cognitive surveillance, and was also accompanied by some perspective deviation.
As long as you set your eyes on the other person, there will be a mysterious force that will divert your attention away.
Su Yiyao recognized that it was this power that blocked her spiritual perception since these people appeared.
But at this time she couldn't speak out to remind Luo Xue, because the woman in the black dress was obviously always alert to her surroundings. If Luo Xue focused her attention over there, she would most likely be noticed.
Su Yiyao was not completely sure that she could defeat the opponent, and she would feel guilty if she let Luo Xue be put in danger.
This invisible confrontation did not last long. Soon, Lingling and other reporters followed Chen Sirui to the gravity elevator.
Luo Xue looked at Su Yiyao with an inquiring look, because she also knew that there were opponents among these people who were far superior to her, so she had not acted rashly.
Su Yiyao nodded to her, indicating that she had left a mark with some kind of aura so that it would not be detected by this dangerous opponent.
In the quiet and silent environment, they have already completed their cooperation tacitly.
Soon, a group of reporters had walked out of the ruins of the tower. They looked at the tombstone of suffering standing on the earth with lingering fear. Although the expressions on their faces were different, it was obvious... If possible, they would never come here again.
This is why the No. 1 Ground Tower Ruins are the oldest ruins open to the public, but are so unpopular. This is scarier than a haunted house, because at least you know that the haunted house is fake, but here... these are real tower ruins.
The numerous restricted areas and some horrifying legends have deterred many tourists, and the Antiquities Association has become the least popular of the many federal departments.
However, starting today, this situation may change.
The reporters all have their own thoughts. After they go back, there will be a craze for studying ancient monuments in the Federation, especially the monuments where the Sage has been, which will be dug up thoroughly.
The Ancient Monuments Association may not soar to great heights, but at least it will be much better than its current neglected state... Perhaps this is the reason why the Ancient Monuments Association acquiesced to Chen Sirui's behavior.
From the time they left the tower to the time they boarded the plane, most of the reporters were in a heavy mood, and even Celis was too embarrassed to speak.
After all, she was just a newcomer, and it was difficult for her to understand the convoluted ways of these old hands. Even though she looked at Lingling for help as usual, Lingling's expression was unexpectedly heavy at this time.
Ling Ling certainly couldn't be troubled by this matter, but she found that... after leaving the ruins of the tower, the sense of danger did not diminish at all.
Even when they had boarded the aircraft returning to the tower, Lingling still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Could it be that she was being targeted
It is not impossible that although the remnant of the deep space beast has no intelligence and will, the living beings infected by the remnant do.
What these creatures hate most is Ling Ling, the spirit bell that saved the entire human race. In the past, some infected people from the residual sound had taken the opportunity to attack her, but that happened several days and nights ago.
After the second catastrophe, although mankind went through several crises again, none of them reached the point of extinction. Most of the remnants of the deep space monsters had been destroyed, and only small fish and shrimps remained, which were not worth mentioning.
"It looks like this will be a long battle..."
Ling Ling's eyes flickered slightly. She looked down at Celis who seemed a little bewildered, and asked softly,
"What's the matter, little Celis?"
“Why do you all look so serious?” Celis shrank her head. “As if something terrible is going to happen… Isn’t it just that we found the Sage’s experimental records?”
