Just like how your Moon Frenzy impacted your sanity, the Flame-Chaser will also experience similar struggles, but we already have relatively mature experience in dealing with this, and with my support, it won't be a problem."

Gwen laughed.

"Yes, with external assistance, it is indeed a relatively good method."

Fei Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Moreover, if the activation method can be made simpler, it may even have the foundation for widespread adoption."

"That's exactly right."

Gwen nodded and smiled.

"And what's your second option?"

Fei Xiao asked curiously.

Fei Xiao had many questions about this plan, but since Gwen had proposed two options, he decided to listen to them first.

"With great strength, bricks fly; directly modify genes."

Gwen retracted his second finger.

"In these days of sparring, Fei Xiao, you should have already felt that I am more skilled at the precise manipulation of energy."

I call this "microscopic manipulation," which allows me to perform atomic-level manipulation of matter and energy control, constantly and automatically adjusting and optimizing my own genes, while also being able to actively adjust them.

Based on this, and in conjunction with the Geng Jin Gang Chu) which can relatively safely modify the genes of others, the goal of genetic modification of existing life can be achieved.

As they spoke, a silvery-white, metallic-like object fell into Gwen's hands.

Yes, the Geng Jin Gang Chu, which I had to part with because I was short of money, recently fell into Gwen's hands after the latest shop refresh.

Its function is somewhat useless to Gwen himself now, but when it comes to modifying the genes of others, it can be combined with his microscopic abilities to achieve operations that only exist in science fiction movies.

"What?"

Even Fei Xiao, the General of Heavenly Strike of Yaoqing, a general who had chased after the Abominations of Abundance and fought them to the death, was startled when he heard Gwen's description of the item in his hand. His fox ears perked up, and he looked at Gwen's hand in disbelief.

Just as the hypothesis "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world" does not discuss the lever, the reason why the current gene-adjustment technology of the Xianzhou cannot directly cure her Moon Madness or the deficiencies of those with Heavenly Deficiencies is because it lacks this crucial "lever".

If what Gwen said is true, then the Geng Jin Gang Chu in his hand will be the "lever" to solve the various problems that need to be faced in gene editing!

Even though Fei Xiao wasn't a professional doctor, based on her limited medical knowledge, the effects of this item seemed far too exaggerated.

"Authentic and genuine, personally certified by the Genius Club."

Gwen brandished the Geng Jin Gang Chu in his hand, smiling as he gave a thumbs-up.

If it weren't for the fact that she needed to adjust the basic logic of the Simulated Universe with Herta and the others, Ruan Mei would still be playing with this thing... and researching it.

However, before Gwen could get a reply from Fei Xiao, he heard a slightly deliberate cough.

"Cough cough..."

Fei Xiao, whose attention was entirely focused on Gwen, twitched its fox ears and sharpened its gaze toward the source of the sound—

Whether true or false, the news Gwen spoke of was too shocking. If it were overheard by someone with ulterior motives, it would cause a huge uproar and bring him great trouble.

Gwen said these things for her sake, and she couldn't let this danger occur.

Chapter 935 Xianzhou's Famous Dishes (laughs) Yunli; Ling Sha: Oh no, my values are questionable.

However, when Fei Xiao's sharp gaze fell upon the speaker, he paused, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face—

"You are..."

General Huai Yan?

Upon seeing the figure he had once seen in an online meeting, Fei Xiao was taken aback, surprised that he would actually see this person here.

"Oh, the three of you have arrived?"

Gwen turned his head to look at the newcomers. An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a straw hat, walked hunched over with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a Vidyadhara woman holding the hand of a blue-haired girl with bare feet.

If placed in a scenic environment, it might evoke the imagery of three generations of a family enjoying an outing.

However, this is a desolate planet that has just been ravaged by two combat-type Emanator. These three are not three generations of a family, but rather two Celestial Race members, a grandfather and granddaughter, plus a Vidyadhara girl (?).

"Hehe, it's not far to begin with, just a few steps away."

The old man showed no surprise that their whereabouts had been discovered. He smiled and responded, then said to Fei Xiao—

"General of Heavenly Strike, it's been a while since I've seen you..."

Or should I say, "Nice to meet you?"

"Although this is the first time we've met in person, we've met several times in online meetings, so it's not exactly our first meeting."

However, this person beside me is probably someone General Huai Yan is meeting for the first time—"

Fei Xiao pushed himself up with both hands and stood up, gesturing to Huai Yan that Gwen, who was also standing up beside him, was doing the same.

"Hehe, Gwen, I've long admired your name."

Huai Yan immediately smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Gwen.

"General, you flatter me."

Gwen smiled and returned the greeting.

"Seeing the two of you exchanging skills here, I became curious and came closer to observe. Please forgive my rudeness."

Huai Yan made no mention of what he had just overheard, and said with a smile,

"It's a pity I was born a few years too early. Otherwise, I would definitely invite you to the Zhuming Xianzhou for a martial arts competition and discussion."

"It's not too late now, is it?"

Gwen laughed.

Even if it's inconvenient to fight to the fullest, it's still good to exchange blows or have some local sparring.

"Ha ha...

Your thinking is quite flexible, young friend.

Huai Yan laughed heartily, pointing to the two people who had just caught up behind him.

"This is my granddaughter Yun Li, and this is Ling Sha from the Zhu Ming Dan Ding Division."

"Miss Yunli, Danzhu, hello!"

Upon hearing Gwen smiled and greeted the two, his gaze slightly shifting to the side—

Hmm, the famous dish from Xianzhou, stir-fried Yunli... cough...

His gaze swept over Yunli's feet without leaving a trace, and he found that she was indeed not wearing shoes or socks, but there was a little energy attached to the surface, so even though she was running in the wild, she was still spotless.

After glancing at Yunli, Gwen carefully examined Ling Sha twice—

She does indeed resemble Danzhu in appearance, but their temperaments are completely different. Ling Sha's temperament... at least on the surface, is more like Cang Xuan's, lacking Danzhu's eccentricity.

After Gwen exchanged names with the two, Fei Xiao seemed rather impatient and said—

"Now that General Huai Yan has arrived, the people Yaoqing sent to pick me up should be arriving soon as well. Let's go back to Luofu first."

"Hehe...

"Well, this isn't the place to talk anyway."

Huai Yan smiled and nodded.

"However, our Star Skiff is not very large, so I'm afraid we can't invite you both to sit with us."

"It's alright, it's alright, this distance is just a warm-up sprint for us."

Fei Xiao waved his hand repeatedly—

"General Huai Yan, please proceed slowly on your Star Skiff. We two will go ahead first."

"Alright, then see you at the Divine Might Palace."

Huai Yan smiled and nodded, not giving Yunli and Ling Sha behind him a chance to speak again, and then summoned the Star Skiff that was docked in the distance.

Fei Xiao, on the other hand, grabbed Gwen and leaped into the sky, soaring into the starry expanse.

"This matter is of great importance. General Huai Yan will likely instruct them to keep it a secret, so there's no need to worry."

After parting ways with Huai Yan and the other two, Fei Xiao spoke.

"As for your proposed second option..."

This is far too shocking. Even if I agreed, the Alliance wouldn't give up so easily; further experimentation is needed.

"That's how it should be."

Gwen was not surprised by this and nodded with a smile.

If something so contrary to common sense really happened, everyone would have to try it out before experimenting on themselves.

On the Star Skiff behind, Huai Yan activated Star Skiff and turned to look at Yunli and Ling Sha behind him—

"You all heard what they just said, right?"

"Um."

Yunli nodded, slightly bewildered.

"But that's really quite shocking..."

Ling Sha gently massaged the space between her eyebrows—

"Even if it is considered a rare item, its effects are too exaggerated. It's like a key that opens the door to a new world."

If that's true, then many people's lifelong research will probably become a joke...

"Whether it's true or false, it needs to be kept secret and must not be spread outside."

Even with his beard obscuring his face, Huai Yan's seriousness was clearly conveyed to Yunli and Ling Sha.

"Yunli, Ling Sha, once we arrive in Luofu, I will discuss this with the two generals and give you a confidentiality agreement. Remember to read it carefully and keep it in mind."

"Yes!"

Yunli was simple-minded and didn't quite understand the meaning behind it, but she still nodded with a serious face.

Ling Sha nodded with a complicated expression.

After the scandalous incident involving the Demon King's Secret Transmission, the Luofu Alchemy Commission Division is probably no longer reliable. She'll likely be tasked with conducting animal experiments, which should resolve her doubts then...

Of course, it might continue to shatter her values as a doctor.

Meanwhile, on the Xianzhou Luofu, at the Divine Might Palace, Jing Yuan hadn't even had a chance to complain or try to figure out who had taken his treasured wines when Fei Xiao's bombshell startled him, making his gaze freeze.

Is this really true?

Jing Yuan's usually languid and casual golden eyes were now filled with seriousness as he looked at Gwen, his gaze carrying a hint of inquiry and doubt.

This kind of thing that breaks existing knowledge cannot be left to him.

"Really."

Gwen nodded.

"My abilities can be seen from the healing of your master 'Mara-Struck."

As for the effects of the Geng Jin Gang Chu, I can also confirm them.

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by Fei Xiao and me alone. I'm afraid we need to report it to the Alliance, inform the generals, and even the Ten Kings of the Ten-Lords Commission."

Jing Yuan emphasized.

Gwen's abilities and the potential within him are very important to Jing Yuan, and if possible, he doesn't want too many things to happen to Gwen.

"Am I also under the Ten-Lords Commission?"

Gwen an eyebrow; the reputation of the Ten-Lords Commission wasn't exactly stellar.

Moreover, although they are doing necessary things, their principles of secrecy and high degree of independence inevitably raise suspicions.

"The main issue is that this matter is too sensitive..."

Jing Yuan offered an explanation, but after pondering for a moment, he still said...

"Very well, I will discuss this with the Marshal and several generals, and let's not involve the Ten-Lords Commission for now."

Gwen's surprise for him was too great. Although it was slightly against his principles, Jing Yuan did it.
