Chapter 540 Reincarnation System
Yunxi and the other three listened attentively and did not interrupt Minister Ruobai. However, the four of them had already begun to communicate with each other using their spiritual senses.

Yun Chen: Amitabha! At that time, Weilan Star should have been connected to the underworld. The scientist sent his wife's soul into another body. That body should have already been inhabited by a soul. The result of having two souls in one body was that they consumed each other, and eventually the person went insane.

Hanlian: These scientists are all a bit crazy. Since they love their wives so much, why don't they commit suicide together? Even if they can't be born at the same time, they can be buried together. That would be a testament to their devotion. Maybe they can meet again in the next life and continue their love.

Xunkun: This small world has no lineage of traditions. They only believe in this life and do not seek the next, which is why they do such extreme things. This should be the beginning of human control over the reincarnation technique.

Yunxi: Scientists are madness beyond your imagination. Someone will definitely inherit the mantle of this mad scientist, continue the research, and improve this reincarnation system.

Sure enough, Minister Ruobai continued:

"After the scientist surnamed Xie went mad, his assistant took over the laboratory and continued to research the technology."

After a decade of research, he discovered that introducing the soul into an adult's body would only drive them insane. So he turned his attention to newborns and eventually found that only by introducing the soul into the womb could a person's normal growth be guaranteed.

However, some memories will be lost during this reincarnation process, but these memories can be recovered in a specific environment.

This research has yielded initial results, and the assistant wanted to promote the technology to help those suffering from rare diseases. The intention was good, but the research defied the laws of nature, so those in power did not agree to its widespread adoption.

Minister Ruobai paused for a moment, and Yunxi snorted coldly:

"Those in power disagree with its promotion only because of their own interests. They will definitely use this artificial reincarnation technology in private to ensure that their families always have the best heirs and that they always have the best resources."

Ruo Bai pursed her lips and did not refute it; that was indeed the case.

"Ms. Ranxi is right, but after three reincarnations, these people still have problems. They have become cold-blooded and even violent and bloodthirsty, but no one is willing to give up this technology completely."

These people joined forces and invested heavily in building a new laboratory, hoping to find the loopholes in the technology, improve it, and start conducting more experiments. However, the souls collected this time were all those who died of old age or accidental deaths.

Scientists found the reason in five years: after multiple reincarnations, the soul becomes impure, and excessive memories cause mental confusion, which leads to drastic changes in personality and even madness.

In their quest to find a substance that could purify the soul of its impurities, they made another three years of attempts. This time, they found a crystal that could purify the soul of its impurities and some useless memories, allowing the soul to enter the mother body in the best possible condition and achieve complete reincarnation.

To ensure that this research would not go wrong again, the laboratory conducted another large-scale experiment and gradually mastered the perfect reincarnation technique.

At that time, the population of Weilan Star was expanding rapidly. In order to control the continuous growth of the population, Weilan Star established a department specifically responsible for intervening in reincarnation and built a reincarnation system.

However, after the population was brought under control, a large number of mentally challenged infants appeared on Weilan Star. After examination, it was found that they had no souls. In the end, the reincarnation system put the divine souls used for experiments into the bodies of these infants, which allowed them to grow up smoothly.

To avoid causing panic, the authorities only said that it was a rare juvenile disease and that a cure had been developed that could be achieved before the child was born. After that, a reincarnation system was built in various places, and reincarnation was gradually controlled artificially.

The middle and upper classes mostly no longer choose to carry their children in their wombs, but instead use artificial gestation sacs to nurture their offspring. This also facilitates monitoring by the reincarnation system, allowing the divine soul to be transferred into it at the most opportune time.

What about the people at the bottom of society?

Xun Kun interrupted coldly, asking a question.

Ruo Bai coughed lightly and said:

"They are also citizens of Weilan Star. As long as they do not want to give birth to mentally challenged babies, they will have regular prenatal checkups. At the appropriate time, the Reincarnation Department will transfer their souls into the mother's body."

"If what you say is true, and the reincarnation system is functioning normally, these unexpected events shouldn't have occurred. Furthermore, we've observed that some souls haven't been purified. How is this possible? Are you selectively purifying souls?" Ruobai sighed.

"This is also out of necessity. The purification crystals are consumed too quickly and are a non-renewable resource. Once the purification crystals are used up, Weilan Star will completely collapse."

Han Lian sneered:
"I'm afraid those purification crystals are all in the hands of those in power!"

As Bai stated truthfully:
"They did spend a lot of money to hoard some purification crystals for their family, but as the saying goes, no matter how rich or powerful you are, you can't monopolize all the purification crystals. If the foundation collapses, their superstructure is destined to collapse as well, and they will fall to their deaths."

"So what measures did you take?"

"Ensure that more than 70% of the souls are fully purified, and the remaining 30% are only simply purified. The birth rate will be gradually reduced without causing excessive panic."

Yunxi shook her head and said:
"You're drinking poison to quench your thirst, creating a vicious cycle. Without new pure souls to replenish your bodies, you'll only exhaust yourselves to death in the end. Haven't you noticed that the species on Weilan Star are already on the road to extinction?"

Minister Ruobai gave a wry smile and said:

“Ms. Ranxi is right. Elder Nan said the same thing. His prediction is the same as yours: in a hundred years, Weilan Star will become a dead star.”

"Elder Nan?"

This was the second time Yunxi had heard this address today, and Yunchen, who was standing next to her, explained:

"He is currently the head of the Reincarnation Department on Weilan Star, and he single-handedly supports the entire department, but he doesn't have long to live."

Upon hearing this, Ruo Bai clenched his fist on his knees, then slowly relaxed it, saying:
"Old Nan instructed me to answer all your questions, saying that only you can help Weilan Star overcome this calamity, and that I should fully cooperate with you."

After hearing this, Yunxi looked up and asked:
"Can you represent the Special Department or the entire Azure Star?"

"I only represent the Special Department."

Yunxi looked at Lanlan, who had been silent since they started talking, and asked with a smile:

"Lanlan, do you think we should help?"

Lan Lan had been holding Li Li's right front paw and staring blankly since she started listening to Minister Ruo Bai speak. Now that she was suddenly called on, she subconsciously replied:
"Please, Master, you must help us."

Yunxi continued with a smile:

"If you want the four of us to lend a hand, you'll have to pay a heavy price, and your family might not be willing!"

Lanlan paused for a moment and said:

"So that's why the master was willing to hire me temporarily."

　My darlings, it's another sweltering day. I'll upload two chapters first, and then upload the last one once it's finished.
