Elementary school students learning calculus?

In other words, the Sacred Blessing Serum does not strip the user of their power of free thought; it merely adds a layer of insurance on top of it.

"As long as I obtain the method of control, this world will achieve absolute peace!"

Nagato thought to himself. When that time comes, he won't need to be like that madman Uchiha Brahman, actively controlling others. He would only need to quell all strife and control those ambitious individuals who intend to disrupt the peace.

By then, the entire world would be led by him toward an unprecedented peace.

He is Nagato, the god of the new world!

"I wonder how Orochimaru's research on the Sacred Blessing Serum is going?"

In a shadowy corner, a reddish-brown cockroach lay there, quietly watching Nagato's back.

Orochimaru's mood lately has been very bad, truly terrible.

In the laboratory.

"Haa..."

With bloodshot, crimson eyes, Orochimaru set down his work, then picked up a vial of Sacred Blessing Serum and threw it to the ground in a rage.

"Uchiha Brahman, what kind of person is this guy! Why is his technical level so powerful!!!"

Orochimaru gritted his teeth. For the first time in his life, he felt what it meant to be crushed—not a crushing of strength, but a crushing of intellect and technological level.

Ever since the Sacred Blessing Serum appeared, Orochimaru had seen the path to immortality within it. This wasn't some simple cell implantation; it was gene editing and recombination. Compared to this, cell implantation wasn't even in the same league.

It could be said that cell implantation is just taking existing things and splicing them together. There is technical skill involved, but how should one put it... it's just mediocre.

But gene editing and recombination? This is damn well creating something from nothing. If the technical level is high enough, one could completely create a type of immortal cell. Although it's difficult, it is merely difficult, not impossible.

This is not at all the same level of technology as cell transplantation; one could even say that the cells used for transplantation could be created directly using gene editing technology.

It was precisely because Orochimaru realized this that he believed this was a path to immortality. Moreover, compared to the path he was currently exploring, this one was clearly more mature. After all, they had already begun applying this technology; otherwise, how could the price of a single Sacred Blessing Serum be so low if the technology wasn't mature?

From this, it can be seen that this technology in the hands of Uchiha Brahman is definitely a mature one, not some half-baked attempt.

During this time, Orochimaru hoped to rely on his world-class intellect to perform reverse engineering and decipher the gene editing technology contained within. This was, after all, the path to immortality.

However, when he truly began the analysis, Orochimaru discovered the problem.

It was too difficult. The level of technology contained within these Sacred Blessing Serums was simply too advanced. It was completely beyond the reach of someone like him, who was still playing with cell transplantation and had only just come into contact with genetic modification.

During his research, he even discovered that these Sacred Blessing Serums contained hidden Gene Locks specifically designed to prevent technology theft.

It was like asking an elementary student who had just learned 1+1 to study calculus without any reference materials.

If Orochimaru's scientific research level had truly been that high, he would have long since ruined the entire world just like Uchiha Brahman did in his former world, eventually being forced to perish together with Uchiha Brahman—though, in reality, that shouldn't have been possible to begin with.

To be honest, when creating these serums, those Gene Locks were just something Uchiha Brahman added on a whim. To him, it was like adding a pinch of salt to a dish while cooking; it was a completely subconscious act. These Gene Locks held no difficulty for him at all.

He didn't care if others used reverse engineering to decipher the technology within the Sacred Blessing Serum and used it for themselves; it wasn't anything impressive to him anyway.

On the contrary, he was actually looking forward to these ants providing him with some amusement. Who knew that Orochimaru wouldn't even be able to pass the first hurdle?

"Damn it, I must think of another way. I must get my hands on this technology!"

Orochimaru picked up the serum from the floor. The golden liquid emitted a charming glow under the light. Orochimaru felt as if the path to immortality was beckoning to him.

Mature gene editing and modification technology.

If he obtained this technology, he could collect all the Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world and edit all these powerful traits into his own body. He could even research a type of immortal cell, and then he would achieve true immortality.

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. He couldn't even unlock the Gene Locks within these Sacred Blessing Serums.

It is possible that Uchiha Brahman didn't even realize he had added Gene Locks to these Sacred Blessing Serums, because for him, it was entirely subconscious—a casual, habitual action.

He didn't do it on purpose.

"Perhaps..."

Orochimaru decided to change his approach. He couldn't bring himself to actively challenge Uchiha Brahman; that man wasn't his teacher, and he might actually be beaten to death if he tried.

Soon, Orochimaru came up with an idea: to steal, to plunder. He knew that in the current Empire, there were many factories producing the Sacred Blessing Serum. If he went and stole some equipment, wouldn't that be a roundabout way of obtaining the technology?

When that time came, he could use that equipment to directly research this gene modification and editing technology.

It was a perfect plan.

"What! You can't research it?"

Nagato looked at Orochimaru, surprised.

"Yes, the technology contained in these things is too advanced. One could even say it doesn't belong to our era at all. It is not something I can research. But it's not impossible; as long as I can get a set of equipment from those factories that produce the Sacred Blessing Serum, I will definitely be able to research this technology!"

Orochimaru looked at Nagato and said in a deep voice.

"..."

Nagato fell silent. He was contemplating whether or not to go through with it.

"No, we cannot alert the enemy. Stop your research on the Sacred Blessing Serum for now. Once Uchiha Brahman defeats all those ninja villages, I will make Uchiha Brahman understand what true power is! As long as I defeat Uchiha Brahman, everything he has will be mine!"

Nagato shook his head, rejecting Orochimaru's suggestion. He even felt that Orochimaru was a failure for not being able to research such a simple thing.
