Regardless of whether it was due to the matter of reading books or his profession, Duan Hengye had an extraordinary interest in the field of spiritual energy. Even though Duan Hengye was very interested in this, the study of spiritual energy had always been considered a niche field due to the great adversity. Duan Hengye and Wen Xunyin weren’t familiar with each other, and due to busy work schedules, they hadn’t communicated for a long time.
Of course, before hearing Wen Xunyin’s voice, Duan Hengye had never thought that the other party would be his “life-saving straw.”.
As Duan Hengye stood up, Wen Xunyin continued to call him. “Professor Duan? Can you hear me?” Because he was so eager, Duan Hengye even forgot to speak and nodded his head at the first opportunity. However, he soon realized that the other party probably couldn’t see him right now.
“I can…” Because he hadn’t spoken for too long, when he finally spoke, Duan Hengye realized that his voice was already a little hoarse. Just now, Wen Xunyin had been calling Duan Hengye’s name, but after hearing his response, he went silent.
After realizing that his ears were once again quiet, Duan Hengye couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. However, soon after, Wen Xunyin’s side once again made a sound. Although there had been no contact for a while, through the tone of the other party’s voice and the uncontrollable trembling in his voice, Duan Hengye could tell that Wen Xunyin was also very excited.
Wen Xunyin wasn’t a person who was good with words; just now he had been calling Duan Hengye’s name, and after getting a response, he was at a loss for what to say. Opening his mouth once again, Wen Xunyin first asked if his current state was safe. At this time, Duan Hengye’s brain had finally recovered from his chaotic emotions.
In normal times, Duan Hengye was definitely not a person who talked a lot, but now that he heard Wen Xunyin’s voice in this situation, he had a bunch of questions that he wanted to ask him.
Of course, the most important thing was that right now, Duan Hengye desperately wanted to know whether he could go back, and if he was going back, what kind of way would he use?
“Professor Duan, right now we’re contacting you through the Institute’s latest equipment.” Over there, Wen Xunyin obviously wasn’t calm either; he explained to Duan Hengye, “Right now, your state over here is a deep coma. After treatment in the nutritional warehouse, followed by a medical checkup, it was discovered that all of your body’s indicators have now returned to normal. But your spiritual energy has once again returned to zero.”
Affected by his agitation, Wen Xunyin spoke in a somewhat illogical manner, but Duan Hengye quickly understood his current situation.
His body in the interstellar era had fallen into a deep coma since the impact. And just like what Wen Xunyin had said just now, except for his spiritual energy, all of his remaining values had already returned to normal under the extremely high medical technology of the Interstellar Era. And in the face of him being in such a persistent state of coma, the doctors were at their wits’ end, but it was at this time that Meng Jinhuai thought of the Imperial Institute of Spiritual Energy located on the Duguang Star. Then, after several consecutive meetings, Meng Jinhuai gave Wen Xunyin extremely high authority and trust.
Although the main content of the meeting was a bit vague, Duan Hengye was a person who knew a lot about the field of interstellar spiritual research. He clearly knew that, despite carrying the name “Institute,” the people of the stars rarely gave them their trust. Not to mention directly asking Wen Xunyin to use an instrument that was still in the experimental stage to contact him, perhaps only Meng Jinhuai could have the courage to give this kind of trust.
At this time, not far away from Duan Hengye, his own funeral was still continuing. However, unlike the sunny scene just now, a heavy cumulonimbus cloud drifted over in the sky from who knows where and then blocked out all of the blinding sunlight. Looking at the heavy scene in front of him, Duan Hengye slowly sat down under a tree not far away. As Wen Xunyin continued to narrate, Duan Hengye felt that he too was getting farther and farther away from the scenery in front of him; obviously, they were all familiar family members, but right now, the scene in front of him gave Duan Hengye a sense of unreality, like he was watching a movie.
Despite having some understanding of things related to spiritual energy, Wen Xunyin’s words were now mixed with a lot of specialized vocabulary. After thinking for a while, Duan Hengye only understood the main points.
…….
After all, transmigration was something that ordinary people couldn’t understand. Duan Hengye didn’t tell Wen Xunyin where he was now, let alone that magical experience. And from the other party’s words, he understood that Wen Xunyin now thought that Duan Hengye was in a two-way parallel world that mutually influenced him, so he wasn’t clear about the specific appearance of this parallel world.
“So what you’re saying is that my spiritual energy fluctuations coincided with both worlds at the same time?” After Wen Xunyin spoke a long paragraph, Duan Hengye simply summarized it.
After a pause, Wen Xunyin let out a “hmm” and then said to Duan Hengye, “You can understand it like this… In fact, according to our research, most people in the world’s spiritual fluctuations can coincide with two or even more worlds at the same time, but the degree is not the same, and there is no pattern to this. Depending on the degree of overlap, it will also produce different effects.”
Duan Hengye didn’t have a deep understanding of the concept of “parallel space-time,” but just now, Wen Xunyin’s words of “two-way parallel worlds that interact with each other” as well as “most people’s spiritual fluctuations can coincide with two or more worlds at the same time” called Duan Hengye’s attention to another very important matter.
The experience he had during the previous period of time might not have been a simple “transmigration to a book,” as he had understood it. Last night, Duan Hengye saw that the plot of “Dumping Interstellar” had changed along with his two years of life, so did it also mean that the author of this book, like himself, had her spiritual energy overlap with both worlds?
As expected, as soon as he entered his area of expertise, Wen Xunyin’s words were a bit too much. Seeing that Duan Hengye didn’t interrupt him, he then went on to explain, “In fact, the flow of time between each world is different, and it can even be said to be chaotic, and there is no pattern to the changes. According to my speculation, there are people with a high degree of overlap, such as you, who may have fluctuating confusion in their spiritual energy after some major changes or injuries, followed by a temporary closure of their spiritual energy, or the phenomenon of temporarily arriving at another time and space due to the fluctuations. Of course there are also people with a smaller degree of overlap, or whose energy is weaker compared to yours, who will perceive it through things like sleeping.”
Duan Hengye realized that what Wen Xunyin was saying to him now was something that he had never mentioned before. However, Duan Hengye soon realized that although the technology of the interstellar era was developed, the development of the research between space and time wasn’t very fast. Wen Xunyin was now talking about that. If Duan Hengye didn’t have these experiences, he would never believe him.
He remembered when he was reading “Dumping Interstellar,” the author once mentioned that she “dreamt about” the plot; at that time, Duan Hengye thought that she was 80% joking, so he didn’t care about it. But now, after hearing Wen Xunyin’s words, he immediately realized that the author of that book might not be talking nonsense. It was very likely that she, like himself, had fluctuations in her spiritual energy that were able to coincide with both the Earth and the interstellar world, and then she was subconsciously prompted to write this book.
Thinking about it this way, this was really a magical thing.
Wen Xunyin couldn’t understand the relationship between spiritual energy and physical body, but Duan Hengye automatically understood the relationship between “soul” and physical body—after his accidental death in the Earth era, his “soul” came to the body of “Duan Hengye” in another world. Duan Hengye was born with an extremely high spiritual energy and a strong overlap with both worlds at the same time, so he grew up with memories of his life in the intergalactic era. When that childhood accident happened, Duan Hengye was seriously injured, and his brain as well as his spiritual energy received a great impact. From then on, he became closed off.
It could be said that during that period of time, Duan Hengye had no consciousness, and his body was “fostered” to the world, living according to the most ruthless laws and methods.
And after another change, Duan Hengye was once again seriously injured. However, this time he didn’t lose consciousness but returned to a familiar parallel world. Similarly, because of the ‘flow of time’ mentioned by Wen Xunyin, another person whose spiritual fluctuations overlapped with those of the two worlds was also affected and wrote a plot that was completely different from Duan Hengye’s memories.
In a short period of time, the amount of information that Duan Hengye received was really a bit large. After he digested them with difficulty, Duan Hengye finally remembered the point: “So how can I go back now?” He asked.
Hearing Duan Hengye’s question, the person on the other side was silent for a while. When Duan Hengye began to feel uneasy because of this silence, the person on the other side finally asked somewhat cautiously, “Professor Duan, do you know what the medium is that I’m using to contact you?”
In Duan Hengye’s opinion, this question from Wen Xunyin was really puzzling enough. But somehow, he, who had always considered himself to have “low emotional intelligence,” quickly detected a different meaning in the other party’s words this time.
“Is… what is it?”
Wen Xunyin took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. After a while, he finally replied to Duan Hengye, “It’s the Marshal’s spiritual energy.”
