This place is called the archive of mind; many prime organizations have it.
The man sitting inside was dead, but he had preserved his knowledge and experience for the people to look at.
Not just look at it, but also experience it.
It might seem like imprinting, and it sort of is, but unlike imprinting. The knowledge doesn't imprint on the people. It is just give them, the complete experience and what they gain from it, is up to them.
One needs to be a prime for it and practice a very difficult method.
Which is essentially a recording method. It records the experiences, memories and knowledge you want to share and if what I read is right; it took a lot of effort, and one needs to have a strong soul energy for it.
Primes live for thousands of years, but they are not immortal; they die eventually.
Some of those who are close to dying and see no way ahead and have large hearts. Chose to use this method, to share their knowledge and experiences with the next generation.
This method is not hard, but other preparations are also costing a fortune to make. So, when funding such things; the organization chooses the people carefully.
It chooses those from which the next generation could learn something and help the organization.
I looked at the man inside the crystal and bowed before walking into one of the stone chairs and sitting.
As I did, I placed my hand on the tablet and poured my soul sense into it.
Immediately, I found myself floating in space and in front of thousands of square icons, and on it was a text. Of the thousands of icons, I saw a few shining brightly.
Exactly seven of them.
I touched them and as I had expected. I couldn't access them. One experience could be experienced by one person at a time.
I looked at all of the experiences around me and the more I looked, the bigger the smile on my face would become.
The old man seemed to have learned a lot, especially at the end of his life.
He was able to reach a Grade 6 in five fields and a Grade 7 in one. Which is quite an accomplishment.
I looked for a few minutes before choosing the experience.
It is of the alchemy; in this field, the old man had been able to reach Grade 7. The same as the artificer, who had imprinted his knowledge on me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI first wanted to choose the breakthrough into the Earth Sovereigns, but I didn't. With me getting my seals back, I don't think I will have a problem in getting data on the breakthrough.
Here, experience isn't as important as data.
Once the process starts, one is powerless to do anything. One is only a helpless riding on their breakthrough.
The alchemy that I had chosen is completely different. Here, experience is extremely important, as even the slightest mistake could change things drastically.
A thousand more windows popped up as I chose the alchemy window.
I looked around before finding the thing I had been looking for. It is one of the several things that I am having a problem with understanding.
I hope it will help me with it.
Buzz!
I chose the experience and activated the formation inside my core.
For a moment, everything had darkened before cleared and I found myself staring scroll, reading it, before turning to the ingredients in front of me.
"I hope I succeed, or he wouldn't agree to be my mentor," I said and took a deep breath before starting.
I began to experience the whole process, from physical to energy circulation. I could faintly feel the thoughts.
I could feel how tense he was at the beginning. His heart filled with worry, but as he started with the process, he began to calm down, till his mind had to become as still as water.
Every minute, I am learning things that make me excited.
I am confident that I will find the solution to the problem I have been facing for months.
Hours passed, and he continued, before finally stopping, staring at the colorless liquid, with a tired smile on my face.
"I did it," I said, and the memory ended.
I once again appeared out, with thousands of memories of the alchemy floating in front of me.
I barely wasted any second before diving into the next memory.
I only have a day, and while the things in the space are three times faster, which is still not enough to see even a fraction of the alchemy folder, compared to others, I am still getting more.
As it is not me who is looking at the experiences, but my clones. Who is essentially me.
With it, I am taking advantage of time dilation and this place didn't seem to stop that. To it, as long as alive consciousness is experiencing things, everything is fine.
With the dilation, I could look at four times more things than normal people do.
I planned to take full advantage of that. My clone had already planned every second, and I only needed to follow it through.
It is such a regret that I couldn't use all seven of my clones for it. One slate lets one experience only one memory at once.
I begin to experience one memory after another, learning loads of things.
With it, I would be able to do many things that I couldn't seem to do before and even learn some tricks that I didn't find in the vast library of Hermes.
After eighteen hours of original time, I got out of an alchemy folder.
There are thousands of things I want to see in the alchemy folder, but unfortunately, I didn't have time. I have to use every minute; I have wise and there are things, other than alchemy, that I have to look at.
I did just that and spent hours experiencing things that will help me tremendously in the near and far future.
"We will be waiting for you on the other side,"
I heard when I was about to choose what would be my last experience.
I didn't even open up and focus back on the memory I wanted to experience. As for the threat, I am worried, but I didn't think about it.
I don't want to spoil precious minutes thinking about when I could experience this amazing memory.
Soon, I finished and tapped on another memory, but like I had expected, it didn't open.
I looked at all the memories, whose folders had turned red.
Only three minutes have remained before my time ends and all the memories have longer than that.
Thus, the access was denied.
I smiled and opened my eyes. I looked around the place before getting up from the place and walking toward the crystal and once again bowed my head to the man sitting inside.
Imparting knowledge is the most noble thing, and this man is doing that even after his death.
I noted his name. The name of the organization he belonged and the words he had written.
He didn't have any requests; just hoped that any person coming here would learn something from his experiences and use them wisely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTime passed, and soon I saw a formation covering me.
A smile couldn't help but appear on my face, seeing the formation, but there was no mirth in the smile.
I have let my curiosity drive, and it has helped me tremendously, but now, there is a good chance that this curiosity might kill me.
The woman and her group had threatened me, and there was no doubt in my mind that she would be waiting for me.
Given their power, it would be very hard for me to deal with it.
All of them are Peak Earth Sovereigns. I might be able to survive one or two, but I won't be able to survive against the seven.
I wanted to laugh seeing my condition.
It wasn't a long ago; I had escaped from the jaws of death, but now I had fallen into it again, and this time. It wouldn't be a slow death after extraction of all my true essence, but a quick one.
They might even torture me if they capture me.
I don't want that to happen. I hadn't even escaped my first captives completely to get captured again.
I wouldn't let this happen.
Buzz!
'Let's hope it works,' I thought, and the formation buzzed, making everything in front of me dark.
The light came a second later, and the armor appeared back on my body.
Seeing that, a smile appeared on my face, and I turned to seven people who were waiting for me.
They seemed quite surprised to see me smiling.
"You guys are really waiting for me," I said to them. They seemed a little unaverred by my smile, but soon controlled their emotions.
"Surrender and you will leave, or we will kill you," threatened the woman.
Hearing that, my expressions couldn't help but turn mocking.
"Really? You lot, who needed to use everything you have to kill four monsters and even two of them running away, are now threatening to kill me," I asked back.
It made them furious.
"You have really made me angry; I will take a great joy in torturing you," the woman promised, and I smiled again.
"Unfortunately, that is not going to happen," I replied, and before they could do or say anything, I leaped into the huge rift in front of me at my full speed.
