330: Chapter 330 At this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the press conference hall became fascinatingly polarized.

In the audience, the domestic reporters chuckled softly.

That laughter carried a pride and exhilaration that seeped from their very bones, even tinged with a hint of mockery.

Meridians, acupoints, Dantian, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Dao follows nature...

These concepts were the crystallized culture deposited by the ancestors of the Xia Kingdom over thousands of years, already engraved into the blood and memories of every Xia citizen like a mental imprint.

Even an ordinary person who has never touched a Daoist text, as long as they grew up on this land, could build a basic intuitive understanding of these concepts from novels, movies, TV shows, and folklore passed down by word of mouth.

This is an innate advantage at the level of cultural genes.

No matter what translation software or language model you use, it cannot accurately convert the abstract artistic conception accumulated by thousands of years of civilization into the meaning that another language system can carry.

You want to learn Cultivation?

Sure, start by learning the Xia language, and then spend a few decades grasping the Xia cultural and philosophical system!

This is the most natural technical barrier!

Meanwhile, the expressions of the blond-haired and blue-eyed faces sitting in the foreign media section were incredibly colorful.

They looked at each other, their eyes reflecting nothing but clear stupidity, confusion, and helplessness.

The vocabulary Lin Yuan just used.

Meridians? Acupoints? Dantian?

What on earth are those!!

A foreign reporter, around forty years old, was frantically flipping through the simultaneous interpretation manuscript in his hands, which was densely marked with various notes.

Each note... led to three new terms he couldn't understand.

His young colleague leaned over to look, then wore an expression even more desperate than his.

"...Is that 'Qi' he mentioned referring to the air we breathe, the anger we feel, or some kind of supernatural power?" The young reporter lowered his voice, frantically pulling at his hair.

"Are you asking me?" The veteran reporter pointed to his own equally bewildered face.

Then, he looked up at the young man on the podium who was smiling calmly and composed, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

In the online livestream room, the barrage had completely turned into an ocean of joy.

"Hahahaha! Look at the expressions of those foreigners, I could eat three bowls of rice just watching that!"

"This move by God Lin is a conspiracy in the open. It's open-source to the whole network, but you just can't learn it. Isn't that infuriating?"

"I suggest the foreigners start by reciting the 'Tao Te Ching,' then chew through the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.' After finishing that... try a copy of the 'Cantong Qi,' and hmm, that's about enough for an introduction."

"It kills me. Before, they always insisted that our scientific research papers must have foreign language versions to be considered international. Now, it's great. I've published the Cultivation techniques publicly; if you're so capable, try translating them into a foreign language!"

"Cultural barriers are not things that can be easily broken by throwing money at them. Our ancestors built this wall for us thousands of years ago, and now it has finally come in handy!"

Just as the entire network was immersed in this hearty sense of cultural pride, another reporter in the front row raised their hand.

Lin Yuan looked over and gave a slight nod.

It was a middle-aged male reporter wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a calm and introverted demeanor, clearly a veteran who had been deeply involved in the technology sector for many years.

He stood up, adjusted his glasses, and spoke in a measured tone.

"Academician Lin, I am a reporter from Tech Reference."

"You mentioned earlier that the four major evolutionary systems have all achieved 'phased results'."

"And any cutting-edge technology, from paper theory to real-world implementation, requires extremely rigorous clinical data, which means it needs the first person to 'eat the crab'."

"Especially when it includes unprecedented... supernatural fields like Cultivation and psionic power that completely subvert modern science."

"So I would like to ask..." He paused for a second.

In that one second of pause, the heartbeats of countless people in the livestream room suddenly accelerated, as if they had thought of something.

"How was the verification of these phased results... completed?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's breath caught in their throats.

On the podium, Lin Yuan looked at the sharp reporter and smiled.

"That reporter asks a very good question." Lin Yuan began, his voice still steady.

"Regarding the verification method..." He paused slightly and tapped his index finger gently on the tabletop.

"Let's put it this way."

"For any evolutionary technology aimed at breaking the shackles of carbon-based life and benefiting the whole population, before its official promotion, as the developer and leader, I must ensure one thing—"

He raised his eyelids, his gaze calm as water, yet bottomless.

"Personally confirm its safety and feasibility."

"This is my responsibility, and it is the most basic bottom line for a Xia scientific researcher."

After saying this, Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze naturally and said no more.

No admission. No denial.

But, everyone present, and the billions of viewers in front of their screens, felt their scalps tingle simultaneously the next second!

"Does God Lin mean that he has already personally completed the verification?! Then what level is he at now??"

"As expected of God Lin! He is not only a guiding light but also the pioneer of Life Sciences evolution on our Blue Planet!"

"God Lin has turned himself into the ultimate benchmark for human evolution! Worship the master!"

"Uncle, hurry up and check if Lin Yuan has passed his flying sword license test!"

On the podium, facing the hundreds of gazes from the audience that had completely shifted from "awe" to "fanaticism," the smile on Lin Yuan's face remained light and shallow.

He did not make any further response to this topic.

The seeds had been sown perfectly; now, all that was needed was to wait for them to take root and sprout.

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

All the suspense and all the shock had been vividly displayed on this stage that held the attention of the world.

The press conference soon came to an end.

After Elder Zhang announced the conclusion, he was the first to stand up, turning to look at Lin Yuan, his eyes full of gratification and shock.

Lin Yuan also rose calmly and gracefully, smiling and nodding slightly to the audience.

Then, the two turned side by side, walking with steady steps toward the mahogany door on the side of the podium.

Until their figures completely disappeared behind that mahogany door.

Inside the entire press conference hall, the air, which had been frozen to the extreme, seemed to be completely ignited!

"Clatter—!" All the reporters sprang up from their seats at the same time, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor merging into one.

"Quick! Connect me to headquarters! Front page headline! Send it immediately!"

"God! Connect me to the Sinologists back home, no matter how much it costs, we must hire them to translate this!"

Their faces were flushed, their breathing heavy, and they had to transmit today's content back to their respective headquarters at the fastest speed.

Meanwhile, on the internet.

Although the official livestream had cut to a black screen, the number of online viewers had not decreased in the slightest.

The longing for the "second world" and the fanaticism for "Universal Life Evolution"... like a prairie fire, centered on the Xia Kingdom, completely ignited the public opinion of the entire Blue Planet!
