"Tsk, this is such a ss, no idea how to resolve it." Gu Shanhai looked at the online comnts, almost bursting into laughter.
Ever since a certain shuttle exploded, the university has been at the center of public opinion, especially with Qin Shang dying at ho, announced as a suicide.
However, according to so coroners, he was stabbed in the back, ruled as suicide, with a total of eighteen stabs.
Once this matter ca out, the problem got bigger.
No one was interested in the so-called scandal; they just wanted to know what's wrong with the Blood Returning Technique.
If there's no problem, why would sothing like this happen?
Regarding power struggles, everyone enjoys the spectacle, but when the spectacle becos their own problem, no one is happy.
The higher-ups hired so people for damage control, account bans, and such, continuously letting various influencers and celebrities break entertainnt news to dominate the headlines, attempting to suppress this news.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, this ti they really couldn't suppress it.
In contrast, the more they tried to suppress it, the more everyone felt there was an issue.
Fortunately, in the end, the university released a statent saying they have fixed the flaws in the Blood Returning Technique and are planning to launch a new cultivation technique called "Gratitude Secret," which can seamlessly connect with the progress of the Blood Returning Technique and has more capabilities.
Then they went on further to praise it.
They even pushed out a certain genius researcher as a target.
Gu Shanhai imdiately recognized the person—a scamr from the past—becoming a top influencer under the powerful backing, dubbed the once-in-a-millennium genius, the top scholar, and all because of him, the Gratitude Secret could resolve all the flaws.
Yet, upon digging deeper, it was discovered that this so-called genius researcher had no presentable research results.
Everyone suspected that he stole soone else's work, simply exploiting the dead who can't speak.
In the face of powerful forces, many just talked about it without much actual action.
However, the Gratitude Secret also spread, and after many people started cultivating, the noise gradually diminished, no longer as loud.
Gu Shanhai was quite satisfied with this, feeling the number of Divine Contracts increasing, and within a year or two, it could cover the entire Xuandao Alliance.
This ti it was luck too; to quell this issue, all the mid-to-high level Xuandao Alliance mbers took the lead in cultivating, otherwise, no one would believe it.
But they were just putting on a show, rely starting without any deeper cultivation since they had better techniques.
Unfortunately, for Gu Shanhai, as long as you start cultivating, that ans you've signed and stamped, and the interest starts to compound.
Thus, each of them unknowingly beca external farming experience for Gu Shanhai.
"The feeling of farming is really great, but the next step might be tough for the Ascension Empire."
Gu Shanhai knew that when internal conflicts couldn't be resolved, they would beco external ones.
The Xuandao Alliance was adept at shifting conflicts, and luckily there was an Ascension Empire, otherwise, they'd have to manufacture an internal conflict, which was troubleso.
Who knows whether this internal conflict would end up gutting the Xuandao Alliance.
"You're preparing to go back and apply for the university again, huh? Let tell you, it's not easy to get in, and any achievents might end up owned by others."
"Moreover, at your age, they definitely won't take you."
A middle-aged man passing by Gu Shanhai's rental place saw him reading and quipped.
This man was Gu Shanhai's landlord, not ill-intentioned, but had no filter on his mouth, saying things without thinking.
"Co on, landlord, not practicing your Gratitude Secret today? How do you have ti to co here?" Gu Shanhai joked.
"What Gratitude Secret, it's called Ingratitude Secret." The landlord replied with dissatisfaction, noting the so-called Gratitude Secret made one need to work tirelessly just to avoid losing vitality, or else you might end up dying from it eventually.
Though it was said the Gratitude Secret corrected the flaws of the Blood Returning Technique, it actually made things more powerful, indirectly increasing the resources needed to maintain oneself, or else one would die from malnutrition.
Yet the Blood Returning Technique had issues, so without changing it, an early death was possible.
For the sake of their lives, reluctantly they had to switch, so nicknaming it quickly beca Ingratitude Secret.
The original aning of the Gratitude Secret was the Xuandao Alliance's blessing, but few recognized it as such.
"Alright, what exactly are you here for?" Gu Shanhai didn't want to get embroiled in the matter and asked directly.
"Nothing, just passing by, heard about sothing in our building..." The landlord said the first half casually, then shifted to a sneaky tone.
"Aren't you afraid of being taken away by the enforcent team?" Gu Shanhai quipped—so he's here to gossip.
However, Gu Shanhai didn't dwell on it much, as the place he lived in was quite a mix of different people, with many big and small internet celebrities, mostly because the rent was cheap and the location advantageous.
So sending a few people doesn't make much difference.
After the landlord left, Gu Shanhai continued to read his book.
"The creator of the 'Blood Returning Technique' should have been in this area; it's uncertain whether he is still alive."
Gu Shanhai didn't co here without purpose; he found the creator of the 'Blood Returning Technique' because, according to records, the creator had developed it in this region.
If he could find so traces left behind by the creator, Gu Shanhai might be able to discover more information.
Among the many cultivation techniques from the Xuandao Alliance, only the 'Blood Returning Technique' left the deepest impression on him. The rest were either evolved high-level techniques from the 'Blood Returning Technique' or mainly focused on fighting, with few worthy of attention.
More importantly, the 'Blood Returning Technique' is extrely mysterious; even the records within the Xuandao Alliance contain re fragnts. Gu Shanhai suspects that either the information was erased by the Xuandao Alliance, or the origins of the 'Blood Returning Technique' predate the Xuandao Alliance, making it impossible for the alliance to trace its roots.
Equivalent to being erased, Gu Shanhai is more inclined to believe the latter.
Given the nature of the Xuandao Alliance, they surely wouldn't disseminate the 'Blood Returning Technique.'
This implies that the act of invading other universes likely isn't sothing originally created by the Xuandao Alliance, but rather inherited, and incompletely at that.
If that's the case, Gu Shanhai beca quite excited.
Maybe he could unearth so ancient relics... well, the likelihood is low.
Although the Xuandao Alliance is currently chaotic and internally decaying, it is still in its pri, rely ill.
How could an undeveloped ancient relic appear on the ancestral star? They have been thoroughly excavated, either transford into tourist spots or abandoned; there's no chance of undeveloped relics still existing.
Even though the Xuandao Alliance isn't dominated by technology, they are capable of cosmic travel; their tech tree is still formidable.
"Could it be like Russian nesting dolls, traversing from different worlds within this world cluster?"
Gu Shanhai couldn't help but consider this; it indeed seems possible.
"That being said, the tech tree of the Xuandao Alliance is quite impressive, but their research on space seems way too unbalanced."
"They can use tools like Sun King Dido to open permanent gateways to other worlds, yet haven't further utilized this technology."
The "Sons of Voyage" refers to tools like Sun King Dido.
Clearly, their space technology could colonize other worlds, yet there's no enhancent in its dostic use. Take teleportation as an example: direct space traversal would be more efficient and less costly.
It's not space jumping that incurs great costs, but slowly traversing would take light-years, even with light-speed travel.
It's better to directly teleport, saving ti, effort, and costs.
Gu Shanhai's ideas are indeed excellent; the only drawback is that the Xuandao Alliance hasn't developed them.
He possesses the knowledge repository and hidden archives of the Xuandao Alliance, which always have space-related research projects, though the success rate is extrely low. This applies not only to space but also to all technological aspects; the repository contains ninety-nine percent Xuandao knowledge.
These technologies are more like accessories.
"Could it have been unearthed archaeologically sowhere?" Gu Shanhai's mind wandered into this thought.
This made him feel a bit eerie; indeed, it's a possibility.
"And the records? Archaeology should co with records and files; you can't just dig randomly." Gu Shanhai quickly searched, to no avail.
"No records an the greatest record."
What wouldn't have records?
Of course, the unntionables.
"Unfortunately, it can't be found."
Gu Shanhai realized that even knowing it might be useless.
Further investigations through prophetic divination yielded limited results.
The main issue was that the information had been destroyed, making further exploration impossible.
The world's information retention was too short-lived and superficial; unless Gu Shanhai used brute force to investigate, valuable findings would be elusive.
Gu Shanhai will definitely resort to brute force, just not now.
Instead, he'll act after he leaves.
"Recently, I should remain calm, and find a way to eliminate that deceitful genius researcher and their entire family first," Gu Shanhai contemplated, as he usually never delays revenge unless the target is valuable.
Right now, the target's value is gone, so he must find a way to deal with them.
