After all, Mathilda Ward was different from them; she was just an ordinary person, and a single sniper rifle could end her life.

Of course, Jack Clark was just taking precautions. He felt that Mathilda Ward must have a powerful trump card, given that she was the daughter of the Mysterious Martial Sky King.

If someone doesn’t quite grasp the concept of a Heavenly King’s daughter, they could think of her as the daughter of a mighty deity.

After making sure everything was alright, Jack Clark turned around and nodded slightly to Mathilda Ward, “Miss Ward, there are no issues with the room or the surroundings.”

Mathilda Ward smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Brother Jack, a genius student, to be so professional on his first job as a bodyguard. If I didn’t know any better, I would think you came from a family of bodyguards.”

Jack Clark coughed awkwardly, “Not at all, I just read some books about what bodyguards need to pay attention to before coming here, so I’m doing it by the book.”

Taking every task seriously is why your success is no accident, Little Brother Jack.”

At this point, Mathilda Ward became somewhat contemplative and went to the window, looking out at the night, suddenly asking, “Brother Jack, what do you think makes a ‘person’?”

“Miss Ward, what do you mean?” Jack Clark paused slightly.

Mathilda Ward spoke softly, “I mean, when someone gains strength or longevity by fundamentally becoming a different creature, are they still human?”

After a moment of thought, Jack Clark replied, “…I think to define a person, one should look at their essence.”

“If this ‘creature’ was not human to begin with, naturally, it is not a human.”

“But if a person becomes non-human later in life, as long as their thoughts and consciousness still identify with being human, then they are human.”

In such a case, even if they transform into a monster or a Unique Beast, their self-definition won’t change, and their behavioral and thought patterns will still follow human habits.”

“However, if one day all traces of ‘human’ disappear from them, then they have no connection to humanity anymore.”

As for the question of whether one is still human after turning into another creature, Jack Clark felt he was most qualified to speak on the subject, since half of his other self was a Mutant Beast.

“Self-definition, huh.” Mathilda Ward nodded.

In fact, this controversy has always existed in Berlin, particularly concerning those genetic martial cultivators who have integrated with Alien Beast genes to gain strength and are gradually becoming less human.

Curious, Jack Clark asked, “Miss Ward, you mentioned longevity—does immortality really exist in this world?”

“Of course it exists.”

Mathilda Ward said softly, “Fifty years have passed since the New Era began, and not a single advanced cultivator has died of old age; most have died in battle.”

“It goes without saying for high-level cultivators. After touching the path, the body’s life vitality is very strong. Medical research estimates that high-level cultivators can live for at least three hundred years.”

“As for king-level beings, when they ascend to the throne, both their soul and body are reshaped once—a soul transforms into a Divine Soul, and a body merges with the rules to become a True Body.”

“The most contacted King-level strong man among humankind at present is from The Purgatory Family; it is said many of their demon kings have lived for a thousand years, not to mention even stronger beings beyond them.”

“…A king’s lifespan exceeds a thousand years.” Jack Clark was rather surprised.

Although he had long felt his own life force was strong and that he could live for a long time, he didn’t expect just the lifespan of a king-level being to exceed a thousand years.

Does that mean if he continued his cultivation, he, too, would become an ‘Undying’ being?

Afterward, Jack Clark and Mathilda Ward chatted for a while longer before he returned to his own room, washed, and sat cross-legged on the bed with the black metal piece in his hand.

Meanwhile, deep sea, the Thunderflame Behemoth that was testing the Spatial Channel Rune with its physical body also stopped what it was doing.

There are only three chances to comprehend the Top-level Skill, and to ensure a fail-safe without wasting opportunities, Jack Clark is ready to immerse and ponder with full concentration next.

Whoo!

As Jack Clark’s Spiritual Will merged into the Mystical Disc, his consciousness plunged dramatically, finding himself in a vast expanse of Heaven and Earth.

This kind of Divine Soul Intent Inheritance and Top-tier Secret Manual were similar, both constructed a Void Space with the Power of Will, fully elaborating the ‘rule.’

However, unlike the True Martial Secret Canon, this skill was a reflection of a King-level strong man’s Divine Soul Intent, and so the ‘world’ appeared more complete.

In the vast Earth at this moment, a figure in white, snow-like garments stood tall, while at the edge of the sky was the silhouette of a Giant Beast as large as a mountain.

Then, the figure in white slowly began to speak, their Will vibrating the Void.

What is called Summoning is actually using a medium to reverse time and space, turning the space back and temporarily overlapping the space at another location with a powerful creature’s space-time.”

“This involves the forces of time and space, as well as cause and effect.”

“In the past, I touched upon the Power of Time by a stroke of chance. By resonating with the power of a Homologous Bloodline, a soul resounds with mine, using myself as the focal point…”

Accompanied by a magnetic voice, streams of ‘time’ flowed around the white figure, and ‘space’ manifested tangibly, beginning to perform ‘Summoning.’ Two hours later, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes, excitement flickering in his gaze.

With the talent of his double pupils and the Innate Space Rune, his understanding of space was already profound.

He was slightly slower in comprehending the time rune altar, but after two more attempts to record it, there shouldn’t be a problem. Then, with more practice with time, he would eventually master it.

As for the Giant Beast bloodline or Essence Blood needed for Summoning, soul resonance, and a part of the Giant Beast’s body material, those were not an issue either.

The Giant Beast Avatar could simply condense a drop of Essence Blood; for soul resonance-he already had half a Giant Beast soul, and his body was the material itself.

After long-term synchronization with Evolution Energy, his physical body was the best coordinates for the Thunderflame Behemoth.

Once he succeeded in the cultivation, if he faced a powerful enemy, he could either project the Giant Beast or summon the Thunderflame Behemoth’s True Body, crushing everything.

But as exhilarating as it was, Jack Clark was clear on what he needed to do at the moment.

His focus would still be on the Spatial Channel Rune, aiming to complete the construction within a few days, after which he could transform all the Life Crystals there into Attribute points.

Then, in one go, he would enhance all his Thunderflame Beast talents and significantly strengthen himself..
