The flames continued for more than ten minutes. Xiar chopped some branches, soaked them in water, and repeatedly struck the fire until it was quickly extinguished, leaving him slightly out of breath.
After resting for a moment, he approached and used a long wooden stick to pry open the tightly shut black wooden panel, but nothing like hidden weapons appeared as he had imagined.
In fact, this underground secret door was shrouded in a layer of shielding spiritual light, making it impossible for ordinary people to notice anything unusual here, not even the Vine Totem monsters.
Xiar still did not dare to let his guard down. He instructed the white fox to catch a rabbit and threw it inside to lead the way.
Once freed, the wild rabbit panicked and dashed around inside. After waiting for a while and confirming there was no danger, Xiar stepped inside.
The use of Spirit Technique required a bit of residual mental power from the Spirit Master. Once the Spirit Master died, this power would rapidly diminish, greatly reducing its effectiveness.
Upon entering, Xiar was surprised to find that there were no treasures inside; not even the Rune Factory he longed for. Instead, there were shelves filled with various handwritten or printed manuscripts.
Sunlight slanted into the basement, providing some illumination. Xiar picked up a flint from the table and lit an oil lamp, casting a warm yellow glow throughout the underground space.
The entire underground area was not damp; rather, a dry airflow circulated within it.
In the center stood a massive stone table measuring three meters long and two meters wide. In the liquid soaking within it lay a corpse resembling a Black Forest Wolf. Its fur had been shredded to pieces, exposing its internal organs. However, despite being submerged in a liquid that emitted a pungent odor of uric acid, there were no signs of decay.
Beside the Dissection Table lay a manuscript. Holding his breath against the overwhelming stench, he walked over and picked it up to flip through: "Direwolf, Animal Kingdom - Mammalia - Canidae Family. Characteristics: Slow-moving but powerful, with an astonishing bite force; adept at hiding its body; primarily feeds on corpses; has a stronger sense of smell than the Forest Wolf but weaker than the Arctic Wolf."
Additionally, densely packed data recorded its heartbeat, brain capacity, visual acuity, sense of smell, and more—almost identical to various anatomical experiment data in reality!
"This could already be considered as belonging to a biological scientist!" Xiar marveled as he surveyed his surroundings. Hundreds of manuscripts represented an immense volume of experimental dissection records.
However, when he flipped to one particular book, a chill ran down his spine.
It recorded human experiment data, indicating that the individual had definitely conducted human trials involving people of all ages and genders—even data on unborn infants!
A mad scientific fanatic!
Indeed, all those who engage in science are mad!
He suppressed his fear and flipped through the pages. The detailed records of various data indicated that the individual had conducted experiments on more than just one infant.
Such a person was truly deranged; in pursuit of understanding biological structures to construct totems more perfectly, they were willing to use countless living beings as experimental subjects. He could never bring himself to do such a thing.
He took a deep breath to calm his shocked mind and began to study the ordinary books within.
These books were evidently mass-printed, categorized into various fields of knowledge, including basic universal runes, animal totem research, plant totem studies, predictions for future evolutionary directions, and theoretical studies of different schools of thought.
The materials here were far more extensive and detailed than what Niu Kelian had provided him, covering a broader range of topics.
As Xiar casually flipped through the pages, he was astonished to find a book with a black cover that emitted faint Spirit Technique fluctuations.
However, upon opening it, it appeared no different from an ordinary book; the earlier fluctuations vanished as if they had been mere illusions.
Without hesitation, he took out a Source Crystal, skillfully channeling its energy to release runes.
"Analysis!"
Grayish white threads swirled around the book, entering and exiting as if they had touched something. Suddenly, the book radiated brilliant light.
The black surface slowly faded away, transforming into pure silver, inscribed with gilded characters—“Morlent Natural Journal!”
Below it was a line indicating the date and issue—Planetary Calendar Year 910, June 1st, Issue 6.
The Planetary Calendar marked the beginning of a new era over three thousand years ago when the great navigator Glens sailed westward from the Western Continent and reached the eastern coast of the Eastern Continent. This was humanity's first realization that their world was a planet.
“Morlent, one of the three central cities of the Atlantis City-States Alliance and the only large Spirit Master Academy that offers education without discrimination. It symbolizes the forefront of Spirit Master technology, and its Nature Journal is considered a compilation of cutting-edge Spirit Master science.”
Xiar recalled information from his memory; many references mentioned this city, which would also become one of the centers of global conflict in the future.
This city can be described as an unimaginable miracle, its overall style hardly differing from the modern world, resembling a vast Academy City.
Within it live countless Spirit Masters and apprentices, as well as ordinary researchers who possess cutting-edge scientific knowledge, laying the most solid foundation for the future rise of Atlan, which is hailed as the holy land of Spirit Masters.
Ironically, the Two Great Empires allowed its development for decades, even unaware that their dispatched spies had been turned against them. To them, as long as they controlled the most advanced Super Evolution beasts, nurturing countless low-ranking Third-Rank Spirit Masters was pointless; it was far better to concentrate resources on cultivating top-tier prodigies.
Now, the journal published by this city was in Xiar's hands. He took a deep breath and opened it, revealing a page that had clearly been folded. The title read: "Shocking Feasibility Hypothesis on Human Evolution!"
"Mr. Elvis has conducted human trials, decoding the human Inheritance Factor and unraveling some of the essential reasons why humans cannot evolve. Under his relentless human trials, all obstacles to human evolution are being shattered!"
"With his research, we can achieve human evolution, even Ultimate Evolution, and Super Evolution. This groundbreaking discovery will fundamentally change the future of humanity, granting everyone incredible power..."
"However, this theoretical research still has several fatal flaws. The most fundamental issue is the inability to replicate and depict the human Inheritance Factor, preventing humans from transforming into Totem Beasts. Without becoming Totem Beasts, fragile human bodies cannot integrate the Inheritance Factors of other beings; even the strongest warriors cannot withstand such fusion..."
Xiar finished reading the lengthy article of tens of thousands of words in one breath. He set down the journal and took another deep breath, glancing once more at the date on the cover—Planetary Calendar Year 910, June 1st.
In the future, this date would hold immense significance, equivalent to the opening of the Source Gate, representing the unleashing of Pandora's Box that would affect the entire world.
He looked at the name above and murmured, "Elvis, father of human evolution, you have no idea what you have truly discovered!"
