Despair filled Hanbing Yun’s face. Only at this mont did she realize that no matter how much wisdom and how many strategies she possessed, the man before her stood unmoved, unaffected by any of her ploys.
Today, she had truly reached a dead end.
But she was, after all, Hanbing Yun, once the smartest girl in China. She quickly suppressed all her negative emotions, her expression once again becoming calm and icy.
She said earnestly, "My second dying wish is to know, as the Divine Doctor, is there any way to prevent from transforming into a demon? Is there a way for to be as I was before?"
Zhang Bin was startled. "What’s the use of knowing? You’re about to die anyway. I won’t let you go."
"An ancient proverb says, ’To hear the Dao in the morning is to be able to die content in the evening.’ Moreover, I’m a scientist. I must resolve the defects of Genetically Enhanced Humans. Otherwise, I will die unsatisfied and surely beco a vengeful ghost," Hanbing Yun said, her expression defiant.
"I told you long ago that Genetically Enhanced Humans go mad because their strength increases too much for their spiritual power to control. They unleash terrifying disasters. But you didn’t believe and recklessly experinted on yourself, ending up in this state," said Zhang Bin. "The solution, of course, is to rapidly increase one’s spiritual power, but that is extrely difficult to achieve. With humanity’s current level of technology, it’s simply impossible. Even the technology of the Xing Yue civilization can’t do it. It will take humanity tens of thousands of more years to possibly develop the technology to rapidly enhance a person’s spiritual power. Only then would the problem of Genetically Enhanced Humans going berserk be truly solved."
"Since technological ans are inadequate, what about cultivation?" Hanbing Yun asked. "I’m not only a Multi-System Ability User but also a genius Cultivator. I’m 26 years old and have already unlocked 17 ridians. Is it possible for to enhance my spiritual power and avoid becoming a demon by rapidly breaking through multiple bottlenecks?"
"This..." Zhang Bin hesitated before responding. "I must tell you, because you enhanced your body first before trying to raise your spiritual power, the order was wrong. So, in fact, you are already a demon. You just haven’t started eating people yet."
"No, no, no, that’s not true. I’m not a demon," Hanbing Yun said angrily. "I’m different from ordinary people. My spiritual power is naturally very strong, perhaps not even inferior to yours. Plus, I listened to your advice and prepared myself, only enhancing myself into an S-Class Gene-enhanced Person. Otherwise, with my spiritual power, I could have enhanced myself to the SSS-level without dying. An S-Class Genetically Enhanced Human’s strength is only double my previous power. That isn’t excessive. So, I’m still a normal person. I can resist the bloodthirsty urge. I believe that as my spiritual power improves, I will return to normal. Am I right?"
Zhang Bin remained silent for a long ti.
He didn’t want to discuss this issue with her because it could easily damage his Dao heart.
She was a peerless beauty and an exceedingly intelligent woman.
Although there was a possibility for her to return to normal, he couldn’t take that risk. If she turned into a demon, with her intelligence and abilities, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to annihilate the human race.
"Zhang Bin, don’t hold back on my account. I won’t make you do it; I’ll commit suicide. But please, discuss with the thods and possibilities of returning to normal. Fulfill this last wish of mine. For the sake of the great contributions I’ve made to the country, please grant this. Also, I want to tell you, when I pressured you in the past to bow to and beco my assistant, it wasn’t because I was cruel. I had already undergone Genetic Enhancent by then, and I was desperately hoping you would be by my side to solve this problem of bloodlust. I never sent anyone to assassinate you. Please, believe ." Tears filled Hanbing Yun’s beautiful eyes, enough to soften anyone’s heart.
"Theoretically, if you rapidly increase your spiritual power, you can control your own strength and not beco a demon," Zhang Bin said after a mont of hesitation. "But your thod of breaking through cultivation bottlenecks one by one won’t solve the problem."
"Why not?" Hanbing Yun asked, thirsty for knowledge.
"Because when you use standard Cultivation thods, breaking through a bottleneck increases not only your spiritual power but your physical strength as well. The two increases basically cancel each other out. In other words, your strength is still too overpowering for your spiritual power to control, so you will naturally turn into a demon," Zhang Bin said incisively. "This is the horror of Genetically Enhanced Humans. No matter how they cultivate, they cannot raise their spiritual power enough to control their strength. They can only ever be demons."
During this ti, he had also ticulously studied the Gene Enhancent Technology of the Xing Yue civilization, comparing it with that of the Xuanwu Star People. He had developed a deep understanding of Gene Enhancent Technology and his own insights. He even had so knowledge and speculation regarding the Black Prison People’s Gene Enhancent Technology.
The Black Prison People were so ferocious and belligerent precisely because they employed an incorrect Gene Enhancent Technology; they enhanced themselves directly without first raising their spiritual power.
Given the Black Prison People’s exceptional talents, their mortality rate wasn’t very high, so enhancent was practically universal. Those who weren’t enhanced were naturally eaten.
Therefore, the Black Prison People are true demons. They expand with manic fervor.
Ultimately, the disaster the Black Prison People brought upon Black Prison Star and their subsequent invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy was a calamity caused by Genetically Enhanced Humans.
It was because Zhang Bin had access to so much information and possessed such broad knowledge that he could see through to the essence of the disaster and point out the inevitability of Hanbing Yun becoming a demon.
It was unavoidable.
"You’re right. Using standard Cultivation thods won’t solve the problem. No wonder opening a few more ridians didn’t help much," Hanbing Yun said in a mont of sudden realization. "However, since we know the cause, there must be a solution. Zhang Bin, let ask you, is there no Cultivation Technique that only enhances spiritual power without increasing the body’s strength?"
"That..." Zhang Bin’s heart filled with bitterness. He hesitated for a long ti before saying, "There are indeed such techniques. The Buddhist Sect has Cultivation Techniques that can rapidly increase a person’s spiritual power. That’s why the Buddhist Sect has the concept of enlightennt. It’s also how the Buddhist Sect has the power to make wicked people repent and persuade them toward goodness."
"Buddhist Techniques?" A glimr of hope flashed in Hanbing Yun’s beautiful eyes. "So, if I diligently practice Buddhist Techniques, I won’t beco a demon?"
"Well, if the demon within is too strong, even Buddhist Techniques might not be effective. There’s only a sliver of hope," Zhang Bin said. "Alright, I’ve answered your questions. You can commit suicide now."
