After leaving the office, Jack Clark didn’t return to the dormitory but instead headed to the control room located inside the base.
As the control center for the Alien Beast Battlefield Base, its setup was quite different from that of the school; for instance, there were no reading rooms or libraries, and there was only one line of access for understanding the outside world.
Including networking with the Eastern Summer Core Intelligence Library and the Heavenly Think Tank, only the control room had the capability.
Soon, Jack passed through several security doors and arrived at a control room resembling a large computer lab, where a teacher was idly drinking tea.
Jack greeted him politely before sitting down in front of a computer screen.
Identity Verification, access permissions confirmed; shortly, dozens of options refreshed on the screen.
Compared to before, Jack now had access to more information; for example, clicking on the Skills Category would display a dense list of thousands of Cultivation Methods.
This included Top-tier Secret Manuals.
Of course, these Top-tier Secret Manuals only had their names and several dozen overviews, and applying for their study and practice was more troublesome than for Advanced Skills.
Bypassing the Skills option, Jack clicked on runes.
Immediately the page shifted, and the large screen displayed images of over a hundred complete runes, and thousands of Incomplete Runes, each representing a form of “strength.”
When Jack’s mouse hovered over a rune with the character ‘mountain,’ the image instantly enlarged, revealing its densely complex internal structure.
This ‘mountain’ character appeared to be made up of hundreds, if not thousands, of twisted strokes, quite mysterious and complicated.
“As expected, they’re all the same.” Looking at these rune images, Jack’s gaze flickered.
Having condensed both complete runes and Incomplete Runes, even through the screen, Jack was able to sense a Mysterious Aura emanating from those rune images.
However, compared to the Godly Dragon Elephant he had condensed in his body, these runes seemed much cruder, even those hundred-plus complete runes.
Because all the runes officially released were Basic Runes.
Some of these Basic Runes had decent power, while others only stirred a gentle breeze, or after being condensed, could prevent nightmares, each possessing a strange and varied strength.
Even those Incomplete Runes contained special powers.
In the information provided, despite many Basic Runes and Incomplete Runes having weak power, sometimes a combination of several of the weakest runes could Burst with terrifying strength.
Like the basic codes of a computer, they might seem useless individually, but once programmed, they can become powerful and feature-rich ‘software.’
After browsing through the rune information enthusiastically for a while, Jack logged out and opened the information section, clicking on the introduction to Simon.
Jack had always been curious about the cultivation environment and situation in those two federative empires, which were considered equal to Eastern Summer.
The reason he started by looking at the Simon Empire was naturally because of Freya Louise’s intention to transfer there.
However, as soon as he opened the cultivation information about the Simon Empire, Jack’s face showed a look of surprise, and he began scrolling quickly, soon also opening the information about the Berlin Empire.
Quickly, a complete cultivation structure of the Federation appeared before Jack’s eyes.
The three major empires, or rather the entire Human Federation, were all led by these empires and divided into three cultivation paths: the True Martial Way, the Genetic Path, and the Mechanical Fusion.
Exactly, three paths.
Compared to the purely Martial Cultivation route taken by Eastern Summer and the following major countries, the Berlin Empire took the path of fusing genes from Unique Beasts and even Giant Beasts.
Martial artists there start by practicing special Cultivation Methods, fusing Unique Beast genes, and then continuously cultivating to increase the fusion rate.
Upon breaking through the Fourth Layer Heaven, they could activate the Unique Beast’s power, transforming and drastically increasing their strength, obtaining a portion of the fused Unique Beast’s power characteristics with formidable combat ability.
However, those who chose this path gradually became less human and had their will impacted by the genes of Mutated Creatures, always running the risk of losing control.
As for Simon, a technologically advanced empire, they pursued the path of cultivators integrating with machinery, with the ultimate goal being… cough, human-machine integration.
For example, mainstream Mechas are made of Transcendent Materials and Mutated Creature materials, combined with mechanical and rune technology, with the cultivator at the core of the battle Mecha.
This method of cultivation is akin to crafting Transcendent Weapons, but with added technological enhancements that can accommodate various combat modules.
These combat modules include power reactors, flight engines, missiles, Machine Guns, offering exceptionally comprehensive performance and formidable firepower.
Thinking up to this point, Jack couldn’t help but recall Freya mentioning that her strength would surge after reaching Late Fourth Layer Heaven.
Equipped with combat gear, could it be wearing a Mecha??
However, these were just basic introductions to Genetic Martial Arts and Mechanical Martial Arts; more detailed information indicated that he could not view them, leaving Jack somewhat regretful.
Although the cultivation systems were different, the Human Alliance was very united within, with high-level information being shared, and the Frontline Battlefields in the mythical world cooperating with each other.
However, among the Low-level cultivators and ordinary human societies, the three major empires were blocking information, which was why Jack had not heard much about these matters before.
The official aim was for purity, to focus the resources and efforts of the three major empires fully on exploring which path was most suitable for the human race.
Decades down the line, the pure True Martial Way has made the furthest progress, with more king-level Top Strong individuals and even a few Supreme Experts emerging, while all three paths have reached their current limits and have been stagnant for years.
Therefore, officials were considering lifting the information blockade to see if they could gather the strength of the entire alliance to break through that invisible Boundary on the existing foundation..
