Mo Yuan opened the terminal and brought up another folder that he had marked as "high priority".

Inside was the Blue Silver Grass, or rather, the basic gene sequence of the Blue Silver Emperor, which he had accidentally collected and archived a long time ago when he conducted a physical examination on Tang Wulin in Aolai City.

That's right, he actually extracted the genes of the Blue Silver Grass, a plant-type Soul Beast, from Tang Wulin's body!

To be honest, this was still the result of being suppressed by the Golden Dragon King. He didn't even dare to think about how much Blue Silver Emperor's genes he could collect if he went to find Tang San.

As expected of the Tang family, who have persisted in breeding Soul Beast for three generations, their genes are completely mixed up.

However, this actually benefited him, otherwise he wouldn't know where to find the Blue Silver Emperor.

Blue Silver Grass is the most common plant in the Douluo Continent, found everywhere, but it has two characteristics that are overlooked by most people—vitality and environmental adaptability.

The vitality of ordinary Blue Silver Grass is already quite strong, but the Blue Silver Emperor gene in Tang Wulin's body, which he inherited from Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, has a vitality that far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

When Mo Yuan initially saved the game, it was only for the purpose of "making a quick record," without any specific research involved.

But now that he needs to create the Super Mutation Factor, this suddenly reminded him.

By comparing the Blue Silver Emperor gene in Tang Wulin's body with the ordinary Blue Silver Grass gene, he discovered several special regions in the genome, marked as "unexpressed fragments".

These are not recessive genes, but rather dominant genes that have not been activated. They are in a silent state within Tang Wulin's body, but the protein structures they encode point in a clear direction—increased vitality and environmental adaptability.

These fragments are highly compatible with human genes in terms of function and carry almost no botanical characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass itself.

If we extract them, remove all plant-related expression signals, and retain only the core coding region of "vitality and environmental adaptability," it can become an ideal carrier.

It can identify and encapsulate foreign gene fragments, use its affinity to guide them into host cells, and continuously release weak vitality signals during integration to soothe the host's immune system and avoid rejection.

Most importantly, Blue Silver Grass can be found everywhere.

He has enough reserves to last a long time, and even if they run out, he can replenish them at any time.

When the genes of the White Armored Earth Dragon are carried on this vector, they can be smoothly delivered into the human body and stably form a complex genome chain.

Mo Yuan marked the sequence of the Blue Silver Grass gene, selected two regions he needed, cut them out from the complete genome, removed the expression signals of the plant characteristic parts, and retained only the core vitality and environmental adaptability functional fragments.

He eventually named these two gene segments " Super Mutation Factor Carrier Sequence 1 ".

Then, he moved on to the second step—inserting the genes of the White Armored Earth Dragon into a vector to form a complete Super Mutation Factor structure.

The process went much more smoothly than he had expected.

After the gene fragment of the White Armored Earth Dragon is inserted into the vector sequence, only a few stable psychotype genes need to be inserted into the connection region between the two, and it can fit together perfectly like a carefully designed snap fastener.

The next step is preparation, which is very simple, and can even be entirely handled by the Amber maker.

The splicing process lasted approximately fifteen minutes.

Through the observation window, Mo Yuan saw the liquid inside the reaction chamber change color from transparent to a very pale milky white, and then to a very light Amber.

He removed the finished liquid and transferred it to the empty, sealed test tube using a pipette, then added a set of stabilizing buffer solutions he had prepared beforehand.

This buffer solution is an extract he made from spiritual herbs containing a large amount of spiritual energy, which can preserve the gene activity within to the greatest extent.

The liquid in the test tube sloshed slightly upon contact with the stabilizing buffer solution, then quickly returned to calm.

The final liquid is a very light Amber, almost transparent, and its color is barely visible under light.

Mo Yuan held the test tube up to the light to examine it. There were no visible particles or sediment inside the liquid; it was highly transparent and its texture was almost indistinguishable from pure water.

He placed the test tube back on the table and wrote a few lines on the label, "(Trial Production) Super Mutation Serum - White Armored Earth Dragon Type".

He then placed the test tubes into a special low-temperature storage chamber and set the temperature to four degrees Celsius.

Gu Yuena stood watching from a short distance away.

She couldn't understand the specific uses of the instruments and reagents at all, but she could sense that something in the liquid was undergoing subtle changes at an extremely slow pace.

It wasn't the kind of "quiet" that ordinary reagents produce; it was more like a seed that hadn't been touched yet but had already accumulated energy.

"The thing you just made," she began, "Is..."

" Super Mutation Serum," Mo Yuan said, "Something that allows ordinary people to acquire the abilities of Soul Beast."

"If my calculations are correct, an ordinary person who successfully injects this Super Mutation Serum can acquire almost all of the White Armored Earth Dragon's abilities without cultivating Soul Power, without needing Soul Ring, Soul Power Level, or even talent."

He paused for a moment. "Although it's uncertain how high a level this person can reach, if this path can be successfully followed, Soul Master will no longer be the only path to transcendence."

Gu Yuena's pupils twitched slightly.

In other words, if he succeeds, will he truly be able to replace the Soul Master?

No, it should be said that it changed the entire Soul Master system...

Her gaze lingered on the Amber test tube for several seconds, as if trying to see through the liquid to the genome inside.

"But there's no need to rush. Let's leave it for now," Mo Yuan said. "After the stability testing is complete, we can see if we can find a suitable user."

Mo Yuan walked to the control panel, sat down, opened a new file page, and began recording today's experiment process.

He wrote very concisely—the experimental objective, materials, procedures, observation results, and preliminary conclusions—each part was clean and concise, without any unnecessary embellishment.

Although most people think writing a diary is a stupid thing, and it really is quite stupid, experimental logs still need to be written, even if he is a humanoid supercomputer.

It's an old tradition, after all.

"Do you think you'll succeed?" Gu Yuena murmured.

"I don't think I will fail." Mo Yuan's words revealed a strong sense of confidence, as if success was a given.

"Hmm... I hope you succeed too."

Gu Yuena spoke softly, so softly it was almost inaudible.

She stood beside the control panel, quietly looking at the densely packed technical references and experimental records on the Monitor.

Perhaps... I should learn these things from him?

The only sounds in the underground laboratory were the low hum of the instruments and the occasional whistling of wind coming from the ventilation ducts.

Light streamed evenly from the cool-colored light strips on the ceiling, illuminating the newly prepared Super Mutation Serum and refracting it into a thin, Amber arc on the test tube wall.
