The laboratory consisted of Three Rooms and One Hall.
The first room was the Elf World.
The second room's ecosystem had been fully remodeled. It was a special super-deep-sea swimming pool, an otherworldly realm awaiting the opening of a tunnel.
Li Qing was in the third room, inside this laboratory.
It was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars, with experimental equipment piled across the shelves.
He was dissecting a biological cell.
[Studying the Reading of Gene Sequences--]
A voice sounded in his mind.
Ever since he had given all eighty Bio-computers a second Kaihui [Awakening], he had gradually begun to experience something wondrous.
It was mysterious beyond words, like having another brain.
Some scientific studies had shown that the left brain focused on rationality and logic, handling language and abstract thought, while the right brain focused on emotion, imagination, geometric space, and other functions.
He now felt that he had gained a "midbrain" responsible for integrating certain information and data, such as changes in his heart rate, his bodily data, his Consciousness Waves, and even helping monitor his dependents.
It was far more powerful than a smartwatch.
For example, right now.
[Reading complete. Please assign a name.]
"Great White Shark Gene," Li Qing silently recited.
Once the recording was complete, he discovered that his [Earth Biological Gene Bank] already contained data on more than a hundred genetic codes.
Li Qing had a grand dream: to put all life on Earth inside it!
These were treasures born from Earth's random evolution!
Fortunately, he had unlocked the Microscopic Eye. With one sweep, he could photograph and record everything. If Li Qing had to enter them one by one himself, just a single astonishingly long DNA sequence would be enough to make him suffer until he died and came back to life.
"That feels much better."
Li Qing set down the test tube, put his glasses back on, and sighed inwardly.
Having finished recording the daily biological structures, he turned his gaze toward the Elf World, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.
I'm using them to guide the evolution of their race and deduce civilization.
Herodotus had created the humans on the ground to deduce civilization, and had even added a biological accelerator for them.
"He really grasped the spirit of a capitalist without any teacher."
Li Qing sighed. "Before, he was a human on the ground rebelling against the gods in the heavens. Now, as a god in the heavens, he's herding the humans on the ground. The dragon slayer ultimately became the dragon."
He hoped Herodotus would not overturn the boat.
Judging from Li Qing's own experience, herding lambs was not as simple as it seemed.
His consciousness stirred slightly, and he descended into the body of a spider.
"Senior, I want power comparable to that of the gods!" Ilis hurriedly said.
See? The unyielding lamb had arrived.
There would always be unyielding lifeforms roaring in defiance, spilling their hot blood as they sought to slay gods and build a new Tower of Babel, to kill the divine. Every sound life loved to shout: We were born free. Who dares to stand above us?
"Chaos Outer God, the gods on our World Tree are too terrifying!" Little Spider Ilis no longer wanted to rely on her own efforts to rival the gods. Their rate of development changed practically every few days.
Li Qing suddenly laughed. "Little one, Herodotus is very special. Among the trillions of lifeforms created by the former gods of this world, he is one of the only souls to have undergone a mutation. They have their own 'specialty.' There are only two of them, and the other one is basically dead."
"Please give me power!"
Seeing this scene, Ilis finally accepted the temptation of this evil demon. "If it's you, you must be able to help me conquer this world and defeat those weaklings on the tree who call themselves gods, right?"
No, he could not.
Li Qing's expression remained calm.
He still knew his own limits. He could not defeat those sages whose technology was thousands of years ahead of his.
Of course, Li Qing would not say that.
The wild voice from beyond the heavens suddenly burst into loud laughter, dripping with mockery.
"Little one, what do you take the gods for?"
"The Ancient Gods beyond the world gave you life and bestowed upon you mighty power. That is already supreme grace. And now that you have a demand, they must satisfy it? You are even more laughable than those gods on the tree. At the very least, they are striving toward the path of godhood, while you possess nothing but ridiculous greed."
Ilis was rendered speechless.
"The invasion of this world was merely a small experiment. I have many worlds to invade, but I will grant you some power."
"Let me see how far you can go. Show me your mettle."
Li Qing transmitted an Electric Eel Gene structure through his Consciousness Waves.
"This is a small test. If you can fully comprehend it, you will obtain a brand-new Lightning Power."
Electricity was absolutely one of the most powerful lethal weapons.
With all the flashy divine arts here—deadly poison, vine restraints, fingernails, and the like—one only needed to shock these tiny insects. A few hundred volts, and they would know who their real father was.
And if this spider developed an organ for generating electricity within her body, made her spider silk conductive, sprayed out electrical wires, and wove electric nets, she truly would become a Thunder Spider.
Now that kind of lightning technique was a true Dimensional Strike.
As for Herodotus and the gods, who were thousands of years ahead of their era, could it be that they had not studied the potential field of Bio-electricity?
They really had not.
Because they currently had far too many projects.
Creating the Elven Race, creating the human race, studying divine arts—even with Bio-computers assisting with the calculations, that was already their limit.
No matter how fast they progressed, they could not conceal the fact that their foundations were thin.
"This power is..." Ilis was shocked, sensing a uniquely powerful energy.
"This is a power I control—the Lightning that rules this world. The Ancient Gods hold the light." The otherworldly voice roared with laughter.
"Boy, the Ancient Gods within chaos create All Living Beings in one world after another, but we do not take responsibility for your destinies. If you want power, if you want truth, then chase after it and work for it!"
"I understand!"
It gazed at the humans hunting the living beings of the earth, as well as the indifferent Elven Race watching from the Elf God Tree, and an unwilling feeling began to spread.
