Chapter 86: Deduction

From the moment he discovered she possessed three abilities, he had a suspicion, but he couldn't be sure and needed more evidence.

In the history of the Fire Seed, only Fire Seeds with dual abilities have ever appeared, and those with dual abilities are the kings among Fire Seeds.

This is the secret of the North River Galaxy. Tang Ting is now the chief medical officer of the North River Galaxy. On his way to this position, he participated in a lot of medical and genetic research, and naturally came into contact with deeper things.

In the past, his medical focus was on the concept of fire, but the more he studied it, the more questions he had about fire.

His mentor, well aware of his medical talent, warned him when his research was about to uncover the secrets of fire.

Although the research on the spark gene was halted, Tang Ting was not entirely ignorant of it.

It is precisely because he knows so much that he remains so silent.

He knew the secret of the spark gene, and with his intelligence and keen insight, it wouldn't be difficult for him to know other secrets as well.

He knew that the Fireseed's genes contained Zerg genes, and that the Fireseed was therefore affected by the Zerg's strict hierarchy, requiring a King to balance their energy.

He consulted all the historical records about the Fire Seeds. Those Fire Seeds with dual abilities and super energy were all royal seeds. They made great contributions to the Northern River System, so they were not unknown. All of them had relevant information.

Each time those royal races appear, it coincides with the best period of development in the Northern River system; once they die, there is always a brief period of decline.

However, this period of decline is not severe. The most severe periods of decline in the Northern River system were all due to the collective energy of the Fire Seeds waning.

The lifespan of a royal offspring is similar to theirs. As long as they are well cared for and there are no major accidents, they can live to be around 500 years old. However, the fire seed is too fragile, and not many of them live to a normal lifespan.

He had seen the most severe periods of decline, when the previous royal lineage had been dead for nearly a thousand years.

When the royal line died a thousand years ago, there was only a small period of decline, but it had almost no significant impact. This is a small period of decline that occurs every time a royal line dies.

Tang Ting carefully compared the death times of each royal race and discovered that as long as a new royal race appeared within a thousand years of the death of a royal race, the fire seed of the North River Star System would be safe and sound. However, if a new royal race did not appear within a thousand years, the fire seed would experience a great decline.

There are currently nine known records of major recessions in the River System.

The comparison of the timelines of the minor and major recessions following the death of the royal prince is almost flawless.

In other words, after the King's death, there may still be some substance in his body that can continue to maintain the fire's energy.

In his era, only three hundred years ago, a royal lineage appeared, but this lineage died shortly after its birth and could not be raised.

The timing of this minor royal race's appearance is very clever; it has been exactly a thousand years since the previous royal race died.

The collective decline of the fire-seed energy more than three hundred years ago was extremely fatal for the Northern River system, which was then engaged in the Alliance War.

The appearance of this little royal race can be said to have saved the Northern River system from dire straits.

Moreover, after the death of the royal seed, there was no period of decline; on the contrary, the energy of the fire seeds continued to rise.

This indicates that the energy of this spark was extremely powerful, almost suppressing the minor recession and allowing the North Star system to survive the most difficult phase.

When Tang Ting saw this record, he marveled at how incredibly lucky the Northern River System was.

But this feeling of relief was fleeting. Anno's appearance made him realize that this was not just luck.

The harsh environment in which she was born, along with the powerful energy and three abilities she possessed from birth, all clearly told him that Anno was of royal blood.

According to the records, every time a King appears, the energy of the Fire Seeds will fluctuate significantly and intensely, rising rapidly in a short period of time, sometimes even overflowing with energy, affecting the surrounding alien and beast species, automatically raising their genetic level, and purifying their genes.

The emergence of the Lesser Kings over three hundred years ago was exactly like this, leading to a great victory for the Northern River System in the Alliance War and securing its current status within the Interstellar Alliance.

But Nono is already three years old. Even if we calculate from the time she was born in the petri dish, it has been almost a month, and the energy of the spark has not fluctuated at all.

He was absolutely certain that Nono was a royal offspring. Her energy and innate abilities were the highest on record, and her birth would inevitably lead to a significant boost in the energy of the Fire Seeds.

But nothing happened.

Either she wasn't of royal blood, or she actually appeared a long time ago, so long that it's unbelievable.

This made Tang Ting think about it a lot. The little royal family that was born more than 300 years ago was really too lucky.

But was it really just luck?

While countless races in the Interstellar Alliance were devastated by that war, the Northern River System, with a collective boost in genetic abilities and the powerful assistance of the Fireseeds during the war, carved out a bloody path.

The intensity of that collective genetic enhancement was also unprecedented.

The fact that the little king's energy was so powerful yet he died young is what puzzles him the most.

Now he connects the young prince with Nono, but the gap of more than three hundred years makes it impossible for him to confirm that the young prince who died young was indeed Nono.

If the baby king doesn't die, even if it has a trace of life, it will be kept in the safest place, instead of being lost elsewhere.

Moreover, Nono is only three years old now, and the Fire Seed does not have the ability to shrink as its energy diminishes.

He needs more verification. Right now, the only people who can verify all his conjectures, besides Nono, are Ivana.

But he couldn't ask Nono; she had already suffered too much, and he couldn't bring up her painful memories in front of her.

The only option is to ask Eve. One of Eve's abilities is to probe a person's consciousness through energy exchange and, with the person's consent, see their memories.

She was usually so gentle and composed, but after seeing Nono's memories, she became so emotional. She must have seen something in Nono's memories that shocked her.

Tang Ting sent Eve a message asking when she would come over.

Ivana replied to him quickly: I'll go in a couple of days, I have something very important to take care of right now.

Tang Ting thought for a moment and asked her: Is it about Nuonuo?

It took Eve a while to reply to him: Yes, take good care of the baby.

Eve closed Tang Ting's information interface, leaned back in her chair, and let out a heavy sigh.

She was alone in the office, with several projectors in front of her, each filled with densely packed information about the spark.
