As the chief scientist at the company's research facility on this planet, Balz actually knew many things ordinary employees didn't, such as... gods.
In fact, when it came to discussions about gods, most people were more willing to believe that they were a higher form of life. They were ancient, and their application of energy was more advanced.
No one had ever truly conducted in-depth research on them. After all, they represented the most powerful individual forces in the universe, and no one could offend them—not even a Cosmic Mega-Enterprise!
If you couldn't instantly erase a Higher Lifeform, then what awaited you was endless retaliation.
There had once been a top-tier Cosmic Mega-Enterprise that tried to study the gods, but in the end, that enterprise became cosmic dust, and all its upper-level executives were slaughtered.
Thus, even the super-giants wouldn't casually research those who claimed to be gods.
The Cosmic Mega-Enterprises even blocked information about the gods. They didn't want ordinary people to know that gods truly existed—and that their prayers might actually work!
But Balz knew. So when he first saw this letter, he thought it might be someone playing a joke.
Yet he soon felt that something was wrong. He had secretly conducted some experiments before, attempting to use Gene Modification to insert a small fragment of Higher Lifeform genes he had obtained by chance into several embryos.
He wanted to see whether it could catalyze the birth of some new life, but unfortunately, every attempt failed.
A mortal body couldn't support Higher Lifeform genes. Or rather, supporting those genes required more extensive Gene Modification—but that was incredibly difficult.
It wasn't something he, or even a few people, could research in secret. He would have to report it to the headquarters and have them provide technical support.
But
