Chapter 1062: Chapter 777: A Small Test

Life Archive...

Zheng Yichen stared at his palm, where a wound surfaced and then healed back to normal. However, it didn’t take long before the wound reappeared.

"Eh! I succeeded!" Zheng Yichen looked at the wound that kept bleeding, his face showing a pleasantly surprised expression. Meanwhile, Katrina wore a subtle expression; had Ahn Ke not told her that Zheng Yichen’s Life Archive was for recovery?

So why does it seem like he’s getting injured now?

"Injury and recovery are actually the same. The key is that the effects of the Life Archive can be activated," Zheng Yichen explained to Katrina. The effect of the Life Archive had already manifested itself.

His own regenerative ability was already very strong and could not be suppressed, making it hard to save during the recovery process. But it was different when approached in another way.

Since the recovery was too fast, he started from getting injured instead. He had been trying to preserve the injured state, and now he had finally succeeded once.

And it was already two weeks after Hazy City had returned to stability.

"I’ve saved the life state at the moment of injury. As long as I reset myself to the archived state, this wound will reappear."

The Life Archive mainly retains an individual’s Life Imprint, and it can even keep the state of one’s self permanent in that preserved moment.

This preservation consumes power; at least currently, when Zheng Yichen restores the wound, he can feel a slight depletion of his strength, maintaining the exact moment of injury.

"So, is that a success?" Katrina felt happy for Zheng Yichen.

The Life Archive was too important for Zheng Yichen; with it, his survival abilities would be further strengthened.

"It’s a success, I guess. But I’m still not quite used to it," Zheng Yichen said as the wound on his palm disappeared quickly. He also dismissed the preserved Life Archive, thinking it’s best not to keep it around unless necessary.

If he accidentally preserved and then forgot an ancient archive, he might very well have to mimic an immortal jellyfish...

If not used carefully, the Life Archive could indeed lead to a significant reduction in strength.

"I’m running some other tests." Zheng Yichen moved his body around. The features of the Ark of Life, eh? Without a sufficiently twisted source of impact that caused mutations, obtaining it was too slow.

That made him reminisce about his previous Essence of Life experiments, which were truly efficient and fast.

However, there are differences between the two features. The Essence of Life delves deeper into one’s own essence of life, while the Ark of Life doesn’t have much impact on an individual’s life essence; it’s more like an expansion to the life form.

"Hmm? Has it been successful already?"

In the lab, Ahn Ke immediately halted her ongoing experiment and hurried to Zheng Yichen’s rest room.

It was well known around here that Ahn Ke had granted Zheng Yichen express access to her exclusive lab. Coming here was the highest level of treatment; no one dared to neglect.

After all, disturbing Ahn Ke’s experiments could cause trouble, but Zheng Yichen wouldn’t have any issues if he did, and Ahn Ke would even willingly abandon her current experiments on her own accord.

"To be exact, it’s mostly a success. I still can’t quite control it completely," Zheng Yichen demonstrated to Ahn Ke by creating several dozen wounds on his palm at once, only to ultimately keep one of them.

Ahn Ke took notes and then said, "It’s probably because the related traits are too weak. But since it’s a success, that means things are pretty stable."

"So next, we’ve got some experiments to do, to help you master this method faster." The Ark of Life, in Ahn Ke’s estimation, is a method that could allow one to fully recover instantly and also clear all current anomalies.

After all, reading from the archive is like rolling back the state of one’s body, or more explicitly, ’recreating’ a new body that is completely unrelated to the previous one.

Only Zheng Yichen’s performance was not quite in line with her expectations.

"How do we do it?"

"Let’s start with bearing capability," Ahn Ke suggested a plan to Zheng Yichen, to preserve the Life Imprint of life forms.

She found the simplest life form for Zheng Yichen.

By preserving such a life form’s Imprint, allowing the life form itself to be destroyed, they eventually recreated a new life form of the same kind.

"Have I actually become a ship?" Zheng Yichen pondered. The plan from Ahn Ke was presented, but the specific operations still had to be carried out by Zheng Yichen himself. The issue was that, unlike the Essence of Life, which directly connected to the essence of life and was easy to handle from the start, the trait of the Ark of Life was more special.

Using his own body as a vessel to carry the life imprint of others felt somewhat odd to Zheng Yichen.

The initial attempts were not smooth. After a lot of hassles and killing a large number of lab rats, Zheng Yichen finally managed to create the first Life Imprint.

"How do you feel?" Ahn Ke looked intently at Zheng Yichen, very eager for the results of this time. The plan was aimed at Life Archive, as for the Ark of Life characteristic, it was the type that would be great to have but not a pity if unattainable.

Although Life roundworms possess characteristics of the Ark of Life, that characteristic is too weak. The main feature is still the Life Archive, and too many archives could lead to confusion.

Unless among those Life Archives, there is one with an extremely powerful mental power that can suppress other life forms being archived.

Zheng Yichen does not have Life roundworms in his body, but besides displaying the characteristic of Life Archive, he also manifested the characteristic of Ark of Life, though the process was somewhat arduous.

But if he managed to do it, then it would work!

"I’m feeling alright." Zheng Yichen’s fingertip revealed a drop of Blood Bead: "This is the part that carries the Life Imprint."

Looking at the drop of blood, Ahn Ke slightly frowned: "Does it take up a bit of blood?"

Is it possible that such a drop of blood carries the life imprint of a mouse? If that’s the case, then the consumption of memory would be a bit too much.

"No, it’s because when transferring data alone, I couldn’t find a suitable storage disk." Zheng Yichen explained and Ahn Ke immediately understood.

It wasn’t that the mouse’s Life Imprint took up a lot of memory; it was because Zheng Yichen could not transfer data wirelessly and needed an extra storage disk for data transfer.

Even if it’s an ultra-small file, without network transfer, a storage disk is needed. Unfortunately, the smallest storage disk Zheng Yichen had was over 1GB.

Having understood this, Ahn Ke was relieved. If every tiny life form had to occupy a great deal of memory, then the ability of Ark of Life wouldn’t be that significant for Zheng Yichen.

Even now, the abilities he displayed had many shortcomings; for example, the process of collecting Life Imprints could not be done remotely, couldn’t be done in range, and could only be done through direct contact.

Many of these issues need to be slowly resolved or enhanced later on.

Ahn Ke took the drop of blood from Zheng Yichen and analyzed it with her equipment, indeed finding the part that belonged to the mouse, but her device was unable to extract that part normally.

During the operation, it was like someone was trying to unzip a compressed file on the computer physically, an approach that seemed unfeasible.

"It won’t work, I need your assistance." Ahn Ke was not in a hurry if the method was not feasible; there would be ways to perform related tests in the future, only needing to improve the existing technology.

With Zheng Yichen’s assistance, she successfully restored the mouse from before. Looking at the now-active mouse, Ahn Ke thoughtfully started the tests.

The mouse was exactly the same as the one recorded earlier, and nothing abnormal had been added because of Zheng Yichen.

The problem is that the brain of such a small creature like a mouse doesn’t work very well, and even with the ’restoration’ via the Ark of Life, it still can’t actively prove whether it is still itself.

"Let’s observe for a while and then switch to something else." Ahn Ke instructed to bring over more experimental animals, and this time, they were no mice but rather smarter ones.

They possessed more powerful souls, unlike mice which are hard to preserve. Although she did not want to involve soul factors in her experiments, it was indeed necessary.

If revived solely by Zheng Yichen, it might not be the original creature, even if all aspects were identical. But if the revival carried the creature’s soul, then it would undoubtedly be the original one.

She wanted to compare the differences between the two.

Just as the new experimental animals were being brought over, the mouse that was locked in the cage suddenly went into a rampage; its fur stood on end, turning blood-red in color.

The mouse’s eyes bulged out, and the tiny creature displayed a kind of frenzied ferocity.

Of course, Ahn Ke somewhat found this sudden mutation to be ’cute’, as it was too weak. Even with a mutant, it wasn’t particularly scary.

As for the ferocity shown by the mouse, she had seen much more ferocious things; to her, it didn’t matter.

Not only that, she was even interested in opening the cage to take a closer look, curious about how the anomaly suddenly happened.

Clearly, when the mouse was tested just before, its gene structure was very stable with no missing parts. Additionally, the influence of the aura from the Great Holy Domain banner created by Zheng Yichen had reduced the Hazy City’s mutation factors to the status before balance.

In many of her recent experiments, there had been few so-called mutations. The staff were somewhat emotional, as previously risky experiments now proceed very easily.

Without the influence of mutation factors, there was no longer so much unexpected occurrence, and the corresponding protective measures were unnecessary, reducing extra work and increasing experimental efficiency exponentially.

"This must be because of you, right?" Ahn Ke looked toward Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t argue. The life of the mouse was preserved by him for a period of time. It was fine before preservation, but it turned out like this after, so wasn’t it his doing?
