Chapter 108: Physics No Longer Exists!
"You... so what exactly happened just now? Just by reaching out and touching them, you cured both their Mara-Struck condition and her congenital blindness?!"
After roughly a few minutes, when the girl's grandfather finally woke up, Kevin immediately declined their expressions of gratitude and left the courtyard with Qingque. Along the way, Bailu persistently stuck by his side, trying to pry out his medical secrets.
After all, with just a gentle touch on the head, he cured an incurable disease that the Xianzhou people hadn't been able to heal for thousands of years... If this medical skill were to be popularized, every single physician in the Alchemy Commission would be out of a job!
Especially after hearing Kevin explain the specific pathogenic mechanism of the Mara-Struck condition in the old man's body, Bailu became even more restless and agitated. If she didn't get an answer, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night for at least a month.
If Kevin were to tap her head three times right now, her incredibly smart brain might even lead her to sneak into Kevin's room in the middle of the night to humbly seek guidance...
"......"
Finally, annoyed beyond patience, Kevin explained: "It's 'Taboo', similar to a kind of shackle that acts on the spirit, capable of sealing certain memories and thoughts. Unfortunately, I can't teach you this."
Kevin could achieve an effect mimicking 'Taboo' because he himself had lived for tens of thousands of years and possessed numerous Honkai Beast authorities, granting him sufficiently powerful mental capabilities. But the most crucial point was that he himself had been subjected to an indescribable number of multiple 'Taboos' from Aponia.
Even if Bailu truly possessed unparalleled talent in the mental field, where could Kevin find two Aponias for her?
"Then, then, then, what about that little girl? Congenital blindness isn't that easy to cure either, right?" Bailu still refused to give up and asked.
"I believe the spiritual realm is a problem that even the Xianzhou has yet to fully conquer; otherwise, they wouldn't have been troubled by the Mara-Struck condition for so long... But it is indeed a wondrous field. With sufficient spiritual power and just a slight application, one can perceive the surroundings more keenly than with eyes..."
Pausing slightly here, Kevin continued: "Fortunately, that child does possess sufficient spiritual talent. I only needed to provide a little guidance."
Actually, it couldn't be entirely attributed to luck—that kind of congenital visual impairment naturally leads to the brain strengthening perception in other areas, consequently increasing spiritual power as well. That's why she could reach the level of opening the 'Mind's Eye'.
Kevin had to admit he wasn't that clever himself. 'Taboo' was something Aponia left him, and the 'Mind's Eye' was a technique Su had left him in the end.
Yes, they were all very useful, weren't they?
"Then this technique, I can learn it, right?" Noticing Kevin didn't say he couldn't teach her this time, Bailu immediately asked with great enthusiasm.
"Hmm..."
Kevin reached out his hand and gently patted Bailu's little head with its dragon horns. Then he shook his head and gave a very fair evaluation—
"Blockhead."
".......Huh?!"
This... this guy's words are exactly the same as what those elders in my clan say!
C-could it be... what they said was all true?!
Miss Bailu, major panic!

Meanwhile, at the Divination Commission on the other side of the Xianzhou ship, March 7th and the others (excluding Stelle) had just been led here by a certain diviner.
Upon stepping into the Divination Commission, one could immediately feel an incredibly expansive view. And far below their feet was a magnificent, colossal structure composed of countless floating mechanisms—
"Ahead lies our Divination Commission's most important large-scale Jade Abacus calculation terminal: the 'Matrix of Prescience'."
This diviner could tell at a glance where everyone's attention was focused and directly explained: "'Inscribed patterns animate jade; divining cracks reveals mysteries.' When talismans are inscribed into jade pieces embedded into mechanisms by the billions, they become a device capable of calculating things."
"As for such a vast Matrix of Prescience, its talismanic principles are said to originate from the 'Omniscient Aeon' Nous. Whether it's celestial mechanics or worldly vicissitudes, it can derive answers through information calculation for any question. Its complexity is such that within the entire Divination Commission, only Master Diviner herself can operate it with complete ease."
Not long ago, the Astral Express crew received a commission from the Luofu's General and successfully captured another Stellaron Hunter lurking on the Xianzhou: Kafka.
Unfortunately, before they could interrogate her about her true purpose in leading them to the Xianzhou, this Stellaron Hunter was intercepted by that Master Diviner. She claimed she would directly calculate Kafka's origins and objectives through divination, which sounded rather absurd.
But now, seeing this massive calculation device... it seems, perhaps, maybe it's not entirely impossible?
"Wow, what a spectacular structure! It's just a shame that Stelle mysteriously said halfway that General Jing Yuan assigned her another task. Who knows when she'll catch up with the team."
March 7th had just exclaimed halfway when she suddenly remembered one of her traveling companions hadn't rejoined the group yet, instantly looking dejected on the spot.
"Don't worry, little March. We must believe in Stelle's abilities; she'll return soon." Although he said this, Welt's tightly clenched hand on his cane subtly indicated that he might be the one most concerned about others here.
As for the most carefree little one here, Elysia? She had already dashed forward long ago.
"Wow, is this thing even more amazing than Prometheus?!"
Even with just two short legs, Elysia moved with swift strides. But within seconds, she suddenly stopped beside a certain diviner who was muttering to herself while looking down below.
"Epoch algorithm reading complete. Inputting into Jade Abacus for operation. Divination calculation complete. Divinatory symbol formed. Fluctuation amplitude lies between Lake and Marsh trigrams. Error margin plus or minus 0.5%. Just what is interfering with the instrument..."
"Strange, what is she saying? Do you understand?" March 7th, who arrived a step later, also heard half of the muttering and leaned close to little Elysia to ask softly.
"She might be saying... Physics no longer exists!"
"Huh?!"
Physics? What is that thing?
