Chapter 1105: Zhao Yi’s Uniqueness

"You just made up a few stories, how did you get to losing faith in the era?" Chen Ling was speechless.

"Oh... anyway, just don't expose me, treat it as doing me a favor, okay?" Zhao Yi had given up struggling, and the look in his eyes toward Chen Ling was nothing but pure pleading.

Chen Ling was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

In the human domain, he was rumored to be a heinous World-Ending Calamity that everyone should kill; but in this desolate and remote Fusion Faction, he was hailed as an omnipotent savior... Fate was truly unpredictable.

Regardless, Zhao Yi had already arranged the best accommodation for him and received him with the highest specifications. If he were to tear down the facade now, it would indeed be a bit heartless.

"Fine." Chen Ling nodded slightly. "But I can only try to remain silent. Expecting me to testify for you is impossible..."

"Enough! Enough, brother!" Zhao Yi grinned.

Led by Zhao Yi, Chen Ling wandered around inside the Mother Tree. Whenever the two walked to a crowded place, young Fusionists would always cast admiring glances... Fortunately, Chen Ling’s skin was thick enough; back when he was impersonating the Golden Envoy in the Red Dust Domain, the spectacle was much bigger than this.

"This floor is the activity area, with a gym, snack area, small market, and cafeteria..."

"The equipment in the gym was specially modified by Teacher Ye, with different training systems for fusing different types of calamities; the snacks in the snack area were all secretly bought from the human domain. People like Old Wolf and me, who don't have obvious calamity characteristics after fusion, often go to the human domain to purchase them; the small market is an area for everyone to exchange things, such as old newspapers, radios, novels, comics; the cafeteria doesn't need much introduction..."

"The floor above is the teaching area. We have three classrooms in total. In addition to the required course on fusion theory, there are elective courses such as music, art, geography, history..."

"You even teach art, music, and history??" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask. "Are there that many teachers?"

"No."

Zhao Yi walked outside the window of one of the classrooms where a class was in session and pointed toward the podium. "All the courses are taught by Teacher Ye himself..."

Chen Ling looked in that direction and saw Teacher Ye still wearing that shirt today, holding lecture notes in one hand and chalk in the other, writing rapidly on the blackboard. Seeming to notice the gaze of Chen Ling and the other, he smiled slightly at them, signaling them to come in and sit down.

"Damn, I shouldn't have come to this floor!" Zhao Yi slapped his forehead and muttered, "Skipping class was discovered... Luckily you’re here, I can use taking you around as an excuse... Should not deduct credits."

"So I’m your shield, is that it?"

Helplessly, Zhao Yi had to walk into the classroom with Chen Ling from the back door and sit in the last row. After Chen Ling entered, he immediately attracted the attention of a large group of students, their eyes filled with curiosity.

This seemed to be a history class. The blackboard was covered with "Shennongjia Exploration," "Great Cataclysm," "Hibernation Plan," and the names of the Nine Great Bases. In the center of the blackboard, two bright red characters were marked in red and bold:

Red Star.

Seeing this, Chen Ling’s expression was suddenly surprised... One had to know that neither "Shennongjia Exploration" nor "Hibernation Plan" were contents that could be taught in schools in the human domain, and next to each base on the blackboard, the names of the corresponding Nine Monarchs and the fields they once studied were annotated.

If one hadn't been deeply involved in that history, it would be impossible to know so much... Teacher Ye gave Chen Ling the feeling of an observer independent of the human domain, his eyes always watching human development in the Gray World, and teaching the conclusions he drew to these children of the Fusion Faction.

Perhaps these children themselves didn't know what the things they learned in their daily classes actually meant.

"In the last lesson, we focused on the Aurora Monarch, Yang Xiao." Teacher Ye’s gentle voice echoed in the classroom.

"As I said, Yang Xiao is the most special one among the Nine Monarchs. His specialty is not in the strength of his power, but in his ability itself... He is the only one among the Nine Monarchs who can control souls.

In 'Basic Principles of Fusion Theory 2,' we talked about how the fusion of humans and calamities is essentially the entanglement of souls and the slaughter of consciousness. Current fusion technology is difficult to break through because the human soul is in a weak position in front of the calamity soul. Even if human consciousness occupies the upper hand for a short time, it will sooner or later be backlashed.

But theoretically, Yang Xiao’s ability can solve this problem. He can decompose the calamity consciousness from the soul level, putting it into a 'blank' state without independent thoughts, like an empty shell. In this way, human absolute control over the calamity is completed... This point, perhaps even Yang Xiao himself never realized, and even the teacher only recently summarized this argument."

As he spoke, Teacher Ye glanced at Zhao Yi, who was sitting in the last row and yawning loudly, and tapped the blackboard emphatically with chalk.

"So this knowledge point belongs to the fusion test point of 'History of the Nine Monarchs' and 'Basic Principles of Fusion Theory 2.' You’d better take notes; it is very likely to be tested in the final exam..."

As the words fell, the students who were still distracted just now immediately lowered their heads and frantically copied the content on the blackboard.

Chen Ling didn't record anything, but turned to look at Zhao Yi... Teacher Ye’s theory was undoubtedly explored from Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi was the only one who experienced the fusion research at the Aurora Base and was saved by Yang Xiao. Before this, Chen Ling actually didn't know why Zhao Yi was so valued by Teacher Ye, but now he understood.

What Zhao Yi fused was not a calamity, but a large amount of concentrated calamity cells extracted by the Aurora Base, possessing the characteristics of various Forbidden Sea calamities. This crazy experiment was undoubtedly fatal, but Zhao Yi was lucky enough to meet the Aurora Monarch who had reached the end of his life... In the end, the Aurora Monarch poured part of his power into Zhao Yi, and the consciousness of these calamities was completely erased.

The final result of all this was the creation of Zhao Yi, the only Fusionist in history who absolutely controlled multiple calamities.

Zhao Yi didn't seem to realize that Teacher Ye was talking about him. After feeling Chen Ling’s gaze, he whispered with a strange expression:

"Why are you looking at me? Write it down! Don't think that just because you’re new, you don't have to learn... You have to take the final exam too!"

Chen Ling: ...

"Teacher Ye, the power of the Nine Monarchs is so magical, is it all brought by the Red Star? Then what exactly is the Red Star?" A boy with a gray wolf tail raised his hand and asked.
