Xinyun silently turned off the computer, turned around for a while, and sat opposite Jiang Xiao: "I've finished listening."

"Well, I've finished listening." Jiang Xiao nodded. The feeling of hair standing on her body just now did not fade away. Although it was not seen with my own eyes, I don't know if Zi Yan saw it or knew something at that time, the fear in her heart was truly conveyed to Jiang Xiao's heart.

"What do you... have any thoughts? Or, what did you interpret from this recording? Let's discuss it together." Xinyun's face lost the original little girl's spirit and she looked a little tired.

"What was interpreted..." Jiang Xiao thought for a while: "First of all, that seed is hidden in Lake Baikal, with a depth of about 300 meters below the water surface, and is not too far from the lake shore. Although the specific location is not clear at present, it can be at least easier to locate."

"That's right." Xinyun nodded: "As long as you know the approximate location, it won't be too difficult to find it. What's more, that thing...that...seed, according to Zi Yan's description, is so conspicuous."

"Yes. This is the second point I want to say." Jiang Xiao continued: "I thought that the so-called seed should be something very small... just like a real plant seed. But I didn't expect that it would be the size of a building. And... it still has life! There seems to be no such a large creature on the earth, even in history."

"No." Xinyun shook her head.

"So... the third point is, what exactly is that seed? Zi Yan said that it was a key to open the door to the new world. But why in her eyes, the new world is such a terrifying existence that she, who had accepted the dean's annotation, would hesitate whether she should report it?" Jiang Xiao said with a serious face.

"It's hard for me to be sure, but maybe I can speculate." Xinyun frowned and thought for a moment: "She was sitting in a certain chair... or position, and then screamed, which was a long silence. I think that during that time, she probably established a certain spiritual connection with Seed and obtained a lot of information from Seed through the connection of consciousness. So during that time, she did not continue to record her condition in the recording."

"I'll discuss this." Jiang Xiao nodded.

Xinyun continued: "But I can't speculate on what the new world opened by Seed is like. So... I think the only way is to ask Zi Yan himself."

"You really... have a way to resurrect her?" Hearing Xinyun's words, Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up: "You have said before that if you find the seed, you can resurrect Zi Yan. Is that true?"

"I... can't be sure now." Xinyun shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Because what Zi Yan discovered is really too different from the 'seed' I originally knew."

"At this point, I hope you can give me an explanation." Jiang Xiao said with a frown: "Zi Yan mentioned in the recording that the priests would know something about seeds, but I can't understand why... you... will know? The era of Neanderthals' survival is too far away from now, and it is impossible for any historical material to be preserved. Even in that era, there was no text. So, there is all the information about seeds and other Neanderthals, how did you get it?"

"Of course there is no text. Because the Neanderthals originally didn't need text at all." Xinyun said with a slight slightest: "Do you still remember that I cut your fingers and tasted a drop of your blood at Lao Hua tonight?"

Jiang Xiao raised his right hand and looked at his fingers. The fingertips that were cut by the heart at that time had already healed, and there was no scar at all: "Of course I remember."

"The history of the Neanderthals is kept in the bloodline and in the genes. But those who do not inherit the bloodline can trace history through this. Only the priesthood rank can do it if they can interpret history from genes. In fact, the priest was originally the inheritor of knowledge and history among the Neanderthal population."

Xinyun paused and continued: "In other words, you can think that priests mean scholars. In ancient times, Neanderthals did not need words or language, and all communication was transmitted through spirit. Priests were the group of people in the whole society that led to the past and the future. All knowledge was mastered by them and passed down from generation to generation. But today, we are no longer the pure blood Neanderthals of the past, but only part of the blood remains, so these history and knowledge about the population were sealed."

"But it's just a seal, not a disappearance. Our Neanderthal genes always inherit all the history that has been passed down in the blood. As priests, they can interpret those history bit by bit through contact with these genes."

"But, as you know, today's awakened people are just the hybrid offspring of the original pure-blood Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. This means that the Neanderthal genes in each awakened person are extremely rare. After a long evolution and dilution of 100,000 years, the genes carrying history have long become countless scattered fragments. No matter which priest is, it is impossible to explore the full picture of history by contacting the genes of other awakened people. What we can do is to integrate the known fragments as much as possible, and then rely on these fragments to speculate on the history of our ancestors. This speculation will of course be mixed with many imaginations."

"It's like... a puzzle?" Jiang Xiao asked in a split second.

"Yes, it's like a puzzle. But..." Xinyun sighed: "This puzzle is really terrifyingly huge. Perhaps there are thousands or tens of thousands of pieces to present it intact. And every priest may only have dozens of them, or even a few pieces."

"You... won't communicate with each other?" Jiang Xiao asked keenly.

Xinyun tilted her head and thought: "Of course, too. But the number of awakened people is originally a minority among the crowd, and the priesthood is even a minority among the few. In this city with a population of millions, all I know is me and Lao Hua. Moreover, there are some priests who never share their gene bank with other priests, and they never even show their faces. For example..."

"for example?"

"For example, the dean of the college." Xinyun sighed: "Although we all know that the college was established by a priest, no one except the senior cadres of the college had seen him, and even he was not sure what he looked like, whether he was a man or a woman. Therefore, many awakened people outside the college did not like the college very much. Of course, they were just a group of old scholars who worked hard to find seeds, but had never done anything to actively attack other awakened people, so the attitude of others was only at the level of dislike."

"But I think this posture of hiding the head and tail is very unpleasant." Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "Especially... the people inside the academy, the dark flame, even killed Zi Yan, in order to seize the seeds, almost killed me."

Xinyun shook her head slightly and said, "What An Yan did was just to satisfy his own selfish desires. But it is no wonder. After all, his rank is a warrior, not a priest, so his understanding of seeds can only be heard through hearing. And within our priests, or... at least among the priests I know, the consensus reached about seeds is that this is not a treasure that brings power to people, but... a database that records the historical truth of the Neanderthals."

"Why is it another saying?" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly: "Strength, history, and... the key to the new world. Which one is the truth?"

"At present, I think maybe... it's possible, and it's not a conflict." Xinyun's expression was very serious: "It depends on the purpose of the person who opened the seed. If you want strength, the seed can give you strength. If you want history, the seed can also be passed on to you history. And if you want to open a new world..."

"So... can the so-called history help me resurrect Zi Yan? Some of her cells are now on me." Jiang Xiao stretched out his right hand, and the cells left by Zi Yan gradually condensed into a cute little corgi in his palm.

"Ah! So cute!!!" Xinyun's eyes lit up suddenly, and she snatched the little Corgi from Jiang Xiao's hand, held it hard in her arms and kissed her desperately. When she saw the cute little animal, she returned to the girlish expression she had when she first met.

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly. All the creatures evolved from Zi Yan's cells were controlled by his thoughts. He controlled the little Corgi to lick Xin Yun's face, rubbing it constantly, Xin Yun was amused and giggled.

"Okay, answer me." Jiang Xiao waited for Xinyun to have enough fun before controlling the puppy and jumped back into his arms.

"Ah! Let me play for a while!" Xinyun bulged her mouth and stretched out her hand at Jiang Xiao: "Don't be so stingy!"

"I'll answer my question first." Jiang Xiao smiled.

"Let me hold me! I will answer you if I hold me!" Xinyun shook her head into a rattle: "If you don't give me, I won't answer!"

Jiang Xiao shrugged and controlled the little Corgi to jump back to Xinyun's knees. Xinyun hugged the puppy, kissed her twice again, and giggled so hard that she raised her head and regained her serious expression. However, the puppy was still hugging her tightly in her arms: "Because according to the genetic breakdown I have collected, the ancient Neanderthals should not die. Whether it is due to aging, injury, or even disease. Even if a body is damaged by irrecoverable, it can easily copy a new body and transfer consciousness into it."

"I am not old...I am not dead?" Jiang Xiao was stunned: "This is impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?" Xinyun asked back.

"How can a population... or a society have such a structure! If there is no death but new individuals are born, then...will it be...will you eventually face the end of a population explosion?! In this case, how can you continue to maintain it!"

"I don't know this. Because there is still too little history in the genetic ruins I have come into contact with." Xinyun sighed and half buried her little face in the dog's body: "But the history in the genetic ruins is only a small scale and a half claw, but there will never be any mistakes. So maybe... I can only get a glimpse of the whole picture after I really find that seed."

"So... If you want to resurrect Zi Yan, you must find that seed..." Jiang Xiao asked with a frown.

"Yes. Moreover, this is good for you and me. This is precisely why I asked you to come with me and listen to the recording in this memory card before." Xinyun nodded seriously.
