Eventually, another expert responsible for the surgical operation spoke up, with a voice tinged with regret:

"Theoretically, it can be generalized, but practically, it lacks significance, Commander."

He explained, "First of all, the transformation surgery is complex and time-consuming. With our current personnel and equipment, completing the standardized transformation for a Wizard requires one standard hour of uninterrupted operation. To extend this to the entire legion...the time cost is unimaginably high. According to the current pace of the battlefield, we might not even accomplish a tenth of the transformation within the remaining time of this cycle."

"Secondly, and more crucially," Master Morayas continued, "the effect of the first phase technology is too basic. Simply ’realizing the occurrence of reincarnation’ holds limited value for grassroots Combat Wizards. What they need more is to bring tactical experience, enemy weaknesses, terrain changes, and other specific information into the next cycle."

"With the current technology, they cannot bring these along. Forcibly generalizing would not only waste valuable research time and surgical resources but might also cause unnecessary Soul damage or rejection reactions due to immature implants."

He summarized, "We believe the most rational application strategy is to use it as a ’research auxiliary tool’ and ’high-level command guarantee’. Priority should be given to transforming Wizards from the Logistics Element and high-tier combat commanders who need to coordinate the overall situation."

"Allowing them to comprehend reincarnation, retaining crucial research ideas, experimental data summaries, or strategic decision-making logic. This greatly ensures the continuity of our research and the stability of high-level command."

"As for widespread implementation..." another Sixth Level Wizard added, "We suggest discussing it after the second and third phase technology iterations. The goal of this technology is to develop a stable Memory Anchoring Technique that can be completed through a simple witchcraft ceremony without complex surgery. That would be the time for comprehensive promotion."

Frost listened and fell into brief contemplation.

He glanced at Jeming, then at every Great Wizard present, finally making a decision.

"I agree with your expert judgment," he said steadily, "So, effective immediately, initiate the priority transformation procedure for the first phase technology. The sequence of transformation objects is as follows: First priority, all Logistics Department Wizards involved in the ’Essence of Reincarnation’ and related core projects research. Second priority, all Sixth Level and above battle commanders and special tactical unit leaders. Third priority, given surgical capacity and remaining time, selectively transform some key positions’ Fifth Level Wizards."

He looked at Morayas, "Master, please immediately formulate a detailed transformation schedule and safety plan. Whatever resources you need, apply directly to me for the highest authorization."

"Yes, Commander!" Morayas and other project leaders perked up.

"Advisor Jeming," Frost turned to Jeming, "You are also listed in the first priority. Your ’Recording’ ability combined with this technology may yield better results."

"I understand." Jeming nodded.

Though he actually didn’t need this technology, experiencing it personally to more deeply study related technologies wouldn’t be a bad thing.

...

...

The meeting concluded, and everyone hurried away to execute their new tasks.

The plan was executed exceptionally smoothly.

Logistics Element Wizards and all High Tier Wizards completed the first phase memory anchoring transformation in the latter half of the year.

And in this cycle, relying on the precious time gained from previous aggressive hunting, they stretched the battle into the sixth year.

After deducting the first two and a half years for foundational research and half a year for transformation surgeries, the remaining full three years became an invaluable golden research period for Logistics Wizards.

Knowing their time was limited and they could continue progress in the next "awakening" ignited every researcher’s efficiency to the extreme.

When the seventh reincarnation ultimately ended due to the Reaper Race’s numbers nearing the threshold, the second phase transformation plan for memory anchoring technology was theoretically constructed and most of the safety simulation completed, just one step away from physical testing.

The eighth reincarnation brought significant changes.

Jeming noticed that Wizards were collaborating much more fluidly.

Even without clear memory inheritance, those "key cognitions" and "strong emotional imprints" preserved through first phase transformations acted as invisible ties, linking fragments of experience across different cycles.

Combined with the detailed intelligence support provided by Jeming, the legion’s actions showcased extraordinary "proficiency" and "foresight."

Hence, research speed soared again.

The memory anchoring phase two technology was successfully completed and promoted in the mid-stage of this cycle.

Compared to phase one, it optimized implant structures, reducing surgical trauma.

Most importantly, it began attempting to weakly associate specific structured "knowledge packets" with soul anchoring points.

Thus, post-reincarnation, subjects had a certain probability of recalling key "conclusions" or "methods," although process details remained fuzzy.

And in the late eighth reincarnation, a more groundbreaking breakthrough arrived—the phase three technology, or rather the "Time Anchoring" Witchcraft Model, announced its completion.

It was no longer a biochemical transformation requiring a knife, but a standard witchcraft that anyone, including Combat Wizards, could learn and perform on themselves.

Its core principle was transforming phase two technology’s soul-bound "anchors" into programmable, injectable standardized Rune structures.
