Chapter 1305 - 740: Individual Power
Gu Hang certainly did not deceive the Prime Minister.
Lying about such matters is truly foolish. Zebert has plenty of ways to verify whether Gu Hang’s words are real or false.
Within the Psychic Cultivator’s Association, the ‘Sixth Revival Surgery’ technique indeed exists.
However, the reason it hasn’t been widely used is because it is too difficult.
The revival surgery can extend a human’s lifespan, with the limit being five times. Each instance can prolong life by a varying 60 to 100 years. Combining this with the normal human lifespan, maximizing the revival surgery can allow a human noble to live up to four or five hundred years without issue.
But that’s the limit.
Beyond that, the revival surgery is bound to fail.
Mortals have limits.
And the power of Spiritual Energy can help mortals break this limit.
However, this is a theoretical study. It is said that when the Imperial Chancellor was still around, he could personally operate with unmatched power second only to The Emperor and accomplish the extraordinarily difficult sixth revival.
But after him, no one has been able to achieve similar success.
A technique with no successful cases for ten thousand years was thus sealed away.
But who would expect a new Gu Hang to emerge in this age?
What ordinary S-Class psychics cannot achieve, Gu Hang might try.
Does Zebert care?
He cares deeply!
He is about to undergo the fifth revival surgery.
Even though it calculates to an extra seventy to over a hundred years of life, it is ultimately limited.
Is he willing to accept this? He’s been the Imperial Prime Minister for over sixty years now, and in the past thirty years, he’s freed himself from the Sun Lord dominating over him, becoming the de facto first powerful minister. He continues to work towards wielding true power solely, aiming to bring the likes of the Tribunal, Interstellar Warriors, the National Church, and the Sect of Mechanics under his control.
Decades, at most a century of life, how could that be enough for him to accomplish such grandiose ambitions?
Even if he truly accomplishes them, how could the remaining lifespan be enough for him to enjoy a glorious life thereafter?
The thought of mortals inevitably dying saddens him.
Now, Gu Hang brings him not the immortality he most desires, but at least the sixth revival surgery can extend life another hundred years!
The temptation is greater than anything!
In the latter part of their conversation, nothing else mattered; the two of them talked extensively about this matter.
Primarily, Zebert raised questions, and Gu Hang answered.
Until the very end, they finally mentioned the “Alliance Plan.”
Zebert no longer opposed it.
…
Gu Hang is relatively satisfied with the activities during this trip to Holy Terra.
Difficulties and setbacks were indeed present. From the Prime Minister’s malice, issues with the Psychic Cultivator’s Association, and even the warning from the Assassin Court before he arrived, until now it remains unclear who assigned the Assassin Court.
Gu Hang also tried to seek an audience with the Great Mentor of the Assassin Court, Clement, but he still closed doors and did not see him.
This issue remaining unresolved is always a thorn.
Towards the Assassin Court, Gu Hang always holds a degree of awe. Their regular methods are already quite terrifying. Although Gu Hang would not be threatened with life by this level of assassination, those are just conventional methods.
The Assassin Court, with its thousand-year heritage, has even had the achievement of successfully assassinating a corrupt Son of God. Revealing their best-kept means might indeed harm him.
Especially within Holy Terra, this is not his domain.
Gu Hang believes himself to be quite strong now.
But perhaps not yet to the level of a Son of God…right?
He’s not very certain.
He can only be certain that he long ago ceased to be classified as a psychic.
Psychics, using Spiritual Energy, are essentially just a ‘loophole,’ linking Subspace and the Real Universe to draw Spiritual Energy from oneself. As for the various changes, techniques, and whether one becomes powerful or not, indeed depends on the psychic itself, but it doesn’t change its essence.
Bridging from the lowest, to the so-called A-level, S-Class, it’s the same.
Even at the level humans cannot control—Alpha-level, it still doesn’t change this essence, merely that the Subspace Energy gushes out excessively, making even those most gifted unable to control it despite having learned the best techniques, ultimately being twisted into monsters, pitiably becoming a channel linking Subspace and reality.
But Gu Hang is not like this.
Long ago he could not be considered a psychic.
From many, many years ago, before he even left Rage Owl Star, he devoured the Primal Fury Owl, occupied its Divine Realm, and transformed it for his own use.
Back then, the Primal Fury Owl was considered a Subspace Inferior God, but from today’s viewpoint, it wasn’t anything too difficult to deal with.
At least, compared to the various strange creatures Gu Hang encountered later, it wasn’t in the same league.
But the assistance it provided Gu Hang was substantial.
Later, as Gu Hang roamed the Star Sea for thirty to forty years, after traversing so many worlds, such occurrences as the Subspace Inferior God rooted locally on a planet similar to the Primal Fury Owl were indeed rare. Out of thousands, tens of thousands of worlds, Gu Hang only encountered two others, and in terms of strength and scale, they were far from reaching the extent of Inferior Deity, barely even a prototype.
Of course, these two Gu Hang encountered, in the end, all ended up inside his stomach.
Looking back, it was only then that Gu Hang realized Rage Owl Star is a very special existence.
