The reason Mobius had not continued the original Stigmata Project back then was the same—
Given the human lifespan, achieving those goals would take an unimaginably long time.
But now that she theoretically had an infinite lifespan, Mobius had enough time to accomplish them step by step.
Furthermore, although Mobius had been unable to thoroughly understand the Gene Lock based on Gwen, an isolated sample, she had still gained something from it. Combined with the information Gwen had told her about the Gene Lock, it had given Mobius some inspiration.

Naturally, correspondingly, combining the different paths of two worlds to achieve her goals would require an equally unparalleled amount of time and effort.
Before Mobius could complete the process, Gwen, who had returned from the universe, tossed her a great deal of material copied from the Xianzhou.
And Mobius had no intention of letting these ready-made materials from this universe, materials that were practically confirmed to be directly usable, slip by. Like a sponge soaking up water, she diligently absorbed their nutrients and constantly tested their feasibility.
