Hearing the cheers of Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen was stunned. The hand hanging in the air froze in place. It took him a few seconds to react, and he suddenly opened the door and rushed in.
In Laboratory, the lights are bright.
Meng Hongchen stood in front of the workbench, his hair disheveled, and he looked embarrassed and slovenly.
But there was a smile on her face that Xiao Hongchen had never seen on her face before.
I saw her holding a bunch of things carefully in both hands, as if she was holding a unique treasure, for fear of being bumped.
It was a small snake about the length of a palm.
The whole body is translucent and milky white, as if it is carved from fine white jade, or like crystal just fished out of an ice spring.
Its body is small and weak, and its scales have not yet completely hardened, giving it a soft luster under the light.
At this time, this little snake was spitting out a thin message to Meng Hongchen, and its round eyes looked curiously at this strange world.
And this little snake looked so young and weak, as if it would die on the spot if something unexpected happened.
However, just such a fragile life can be said to have changed the entire Soul Master World pattern of the Douluo Continent in the future!
Xiao Hongchen's eyes fell on the little snake, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He recognized the nature of the little snake at a glance.
This little snake is neither pure Soul Beast nor Soul Spirit born from Soul Spirit Contract.
This little life was born from their Soul Spirit breeding warehouse in Spirit Pagoda!
This means that even if Lu Ren Ascension to the Divine Realm cannot be used to continuously provide Soul Spirit with Cursed Spirit, their Soul Spirit reserve will not be interrupted!
This is the artificial life they have worked so hard to successfully develop. It is an out-and-out Artificial Soul Spirit!
"Brother!" Meng Hongchen raised his head and saw Xiao Hongchen standing at the door, excitedly holding the little snake and rushing toward him, speaking quickly, "Look! Look!"
"You sister, I am a genius! Artificial Soul Spirit is done!"
"Although Soul Spirit only started ten years ago, it is still a good start!"
"I just used a wisp of snake blood and added some Heaven and Earth Energy, and I really succeeded in getting Artificial Soul Spirit out!"
"This also proves that Huo Yuhao's theory is correct!"
As she spoke, she brought the little snake right in front of Xiao Hongchen's eyes, barely touching the tip of his nose.
Xiao Hongchen Looking at the excited and incoherent sister in front of him, he suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.
He had tried to persuade her to give up this project countless times, and wanted to tell her that even if Artificial Soul Spirit couldn't do it, Spirit Pagoda would always have other ways, and there was no need to involve himself.
But now, seeing his sister holding the life she created with her own hands, smiling like a child who has gained the world, he suddenly felt that all the time he had spent in the past few years was worth it.
Xiao Hongchen gave Meng Hongchen a thumbs up.
"Niu. I've done all this for you!"
"Hehe." Meng Hongchen hugged the little snake and smiled until his eyes turned into crescent moons, "Well, you don't even know who I am!"
"Let me tell you, this is just the first step. Next, I will continue to optimize and strive to make Artificial Soul Spirit that will last more than ten years, more than a hundred years, or even Thousand-Year that will last ten thousand years!"
"At that time, even if Lu Ren is gone, the supply of Soul Spirit will not be cut off. Spirit Pagoda will never be short of Soul Spirit!"
When she mentioned Lu Ren, her voice unconsciously became a little softer, but she soon returned to her energetic look. She turned back to the experimental table with the little snake in her hands and began to record data with great interest.
Meng Hongchen said softly, "You are the first Soul Spirit I created—I will let you grow up well."
Xiao Hongchen looked at her back. Although she was tired, she was full of vitality. The worries and distress in her heart finally let go a little.
He whispered to himself softly, "Lu Ren, Lu Ren, if you knew someone had done this for you - I don't know if you would be moved."
He shook his head, walked into Laboratory with a food box, and put the food on the table just like Elixir: "Okay, okay, put away the experiments first, come and eat!"
"Come on, come on!" Meng Hongchen responded, and carefully put the little snake into a Incubator covered with soft cushions. Then he reluctantly walked over and sat down, grabbed the chopsticks and ate it with big mouthfuls.
While Meng Hongchen was eating, his eyes would glance in the direction of Incubator from time to time, as if he was afraid that the little snake would disappear in the blink of an eye.
She ate absentmindedly, poking her chopsticks back and forth in the bowl, her whole body still immersed in the aftertaste of the cheer just now.
Xiao Hongchen looked at her like this, feeling both funny and distressed at the same time. "You have been here every day for the past few years, and the food is not very good, and you don't practice well to maintain your condition. Now that you are finally done, it's time to rest for a few days."
"Shall I take you around the city next?"
"Why are you resting?" Meng Hongchen swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes bright, "This is only ten years, Thousand-Year is still waiting for me to conquer the next hundred years."
"Artificial Soul Spirit in ten years only proved that this road can work, but it is still far from being truly mature."
"I still have a bunch of ideas in my mind that haven't been tested yet. I've written three books just on the optimization plan. Where can I stop?"
"Not to mention that Artificial Soul Spirit is successful, but experiments are still needed to see if people can successfully absorb Artificial Soul Spirit."
As she spoke, she took two more bites with her chopsticks and continued vaguely, "And in the future - when I make the ten-thousand-year-level Artificial Soul Spirit, even - even if Lu Ren ascends, Spirit Pagoda will not cut off the supply of Soul Spirit."
"When every Soul Master in the whole continent can use Artificial Soul Spirit, then it will be called real success."
When she said this, her voice was very soft, as if she mentioned it casually, but the tips of her ears quietly turned red, and even the small piece of skin at the base of her ears was dyed a light pink.
Xiao Hongchen glanced at her and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, half-smilingly. "Oh? It turns out I'm afraid that Spirit Pagoda won't be able to hold on after Lu Ren leaves."
"I thought someone wanted to show him some decent results before he could ascend."
"Brother!" Meng Hongchen suddenly raised his head, his face turned red, and he put the chopsticks on the table with a crisp sound, "What are you talking about!"
"I am doing this for Spirit Pagoda, for Soul Master in the whole continent!"
"Who, who wants to show it to him!"
"I am the strongest Soul Master in history. I have never seen any good things. How can anyone appreciate the results of my small efforts?"
The more she defended herself, the softer her voice became, and the weaker her confidence became, until her last sentence, "It's not worth mentioning," was like a mosquito's snort.
When Xiao Hongchen looked at her like this, his smile became narrower and narrower, and he said in a long tone, "Okay, okay, okay, for the whole continent, for all the people in the world, and for the great cause of Soul Beast peaceful coexistence with mankind, my sister is great, and I admire her."
After saying that, Xiao Hongchen changed the subject, with a hint of hatred in his tone. "That's right, grandpa told you a few years ago that he wanted to propose marriage to Lu Ren and make you his fiancée."
"This is Grandpa's personal intervention, and the result is not bad. I don't know who is refusing to go, stomping his feet, and shaming his face. He wants to save face and suffer the consequences. It would have been better if you had just told Lu Ren about this matter. How could so many things have happened?"
"If you really like him, just say it! It's not like you can't speak!"
Xiao Hongchen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"I really don't understand you more and more. What are you trying to hide at this time?"
"Can't you just go straight up to A?"
"Every time you touch that Lu Ren, it feels like you're being strangled, and you can't even say a single word?"
"Then Lu Ren is another idiot who only knows how to fight. He has more twists and turns in his mind than he has killed. If he doesn't take the initiative, can't you take the initiative?"
"Do you expect him to come to you and confess his love to you one day?"
"Then it's better to hope that Soul Tool will become wise and fall in love! Let me tell you, with his virtue, if you don't take the initiative, he can be your friend for life! Do you believe it?"
"You still said that!" Meng Hongchen became anxious, his face flushed, he jumped up from the stool, and reached out to cover his mouth, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you out!"
"Don't ever try to enter my Laboratory again! I, I will revoke the access control right from you!"
Xiao Hongchen She covered her mouth, but her eyes were still bent, and she was smiling so proudly.
Meng Hongchen pinched his arm and twisted it, and then he finally stopped and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
After arguing for a while, the two sat down to eat again.
Meng Hongchen took a couple of bites angrily, but the redness faded a bit.
Xiao Hongchen looked at her like this, looked at her seriously and said, "Seriously, Meng, you can do this, I am very proud of you."
"No matter what it is for, whether it is for Spirit Pagoda, for Soul Master across the continent, or for anyone else, your efforts over the past few years are all worth it."
Meng Hongchen's cheeks were still red. He lowered his head after hearing the words. After a while, he muttered in a low voice, "It was worth it----"
She didn't want to just stand behind him forever, looking at his back.
So she worked hard to make something real.
She wanted him to think of a person named Meng Hongchen when he mentioned Spirit Pagoda, who would help him pave the way forward steadily.
Even if he leaves, even if he goes to a place that mortals can never reach, the foundation he left behind will not collapse because of his departure.
This is what she can do for him, and this is the only thing she can do.
Early the next morning, Meng Hongchen held Incubator and followed Xiao Hongchen to Pagoda Master’s Office on the top floor of Spirit Pagoda.
That office is located at the top of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
The early morning sunlight poured in through the window glass, spreading a bright spot on the floor.
Nana was sitting behind a large desk reviewing documents. He heard a knock on the door and raised his head. When he saw Meng Hongchen walking in with Incubator in his arms, he put down what he was doing.
"Pagoda Master." Meng Hongchen walked to the desk, gently placed Incubator on the table, and opened the lid, "Artificial Soul Spirit's research was successful."
"I already know." A rare trace of emotion flashed across Nana's usually cold eyes.
"You have done a great thing that will benefit the future."
"With the advent of Artificial Soul Spirit, the knot that has been entangled for tens of thousands of years between the two major races of humans and Soul Beast has finally been resolved from its roots."
--
"The significance of this matter is no less than that of unifying the continent. In the long run, it is even more far-reaching than unifying the continent."
"Huo Yuhao only completed the general framework and theoretical knowledge, but you actually realized Artificial Soul Spirit.
Nana's eyes fell on the little snake in Incubator that spit out the letter curiously. "If Soul Beast knows your results, they will definitely agree with you."
"Di Tian If I knew about it, I'm afraid I would come to thank you in person."
Meng Hongchen was a little embarrassed by the praise. He lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, not knowing what to say.
Nana didn't say much, just took out Pagoda Master's vigorous and decisive approach, and made the final decision. "From now on, we will start mass production from the ten-year basic Soul Spirit, and then experimentally absorb Soul Spirit Are there any risks in the E process? After ensuring safety issues, the first batch of the Soul Master Academy will be given to civilians first, so that civilian children without family background can also have their own Soul Spirit."
"You have full control over the next hundred years of Thousand-Year research and development. If you have any needs, please report them directly to me without going through any procedures."
"Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Meng Hongchen straightened his back and was full of energy.
Nana looked at her energetic look, with an imperceptible smile flashing across her eyes, "I will report this matter to Lord Lu Ren immediately."
"When he first proposed the concept of Artificial Soul Spirit, he said that this is a longer-term foundation than unifying the continent, and it is a legacy left to this continent for hundreds of years, Thousand-Year later."
"He will be very happy if you finish it for him."
Meng Hongchen's heartbeat skipped a beat, he lowered his eyes, tried hard to make his voice sound calmer, and whispered "yes" in a low voice.
But my heart felt like a little rabbit, beating non-stop, almost breaking through my chest.
I just don't know----will he come back?
Of course Meng Hongchen knows the reason why Lu Ren is in seclusion, because Lu Ren wants to sprint towards the Ascension to the Divine Realm with all his strength.
That is the ultimate goal of all Soul Master cultivation, and it is the supreme pursuit that transcends all honors, disgrace and worries in the world.
A person who is about to ascend, and all he can think about is Divine Realm, will he still have the heart to come back?
The more she thought about it, the more empty she felt in her heart. She lowered her head and unconsciously rubbed the cold edge of Incubator with her fingertips.
Nana looked at Meng Hongchen and suddenly laughed softly, "Don't you know yet? Mr. Lu Ren left seclusion a few days ago."
"Ah? Are you out of seclusion?"
Meng Hongchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Nana blankly, the light in his eyes almost overflowing.
"He, he got out of prison? When did it happen?"
Nana looked at her like this, the smile in his eyes became deeper, but his tone remained calm. "Well, I left seclusion three days ago."
"In the first battle with Star Luo City, he defeated Huo Yuhao with one move and helped Ju Zi Marshal clear the final obstacle to the unification of the continent."
"I am now at Mingdu, dealing with the last trivial matters before ascension."
Meng Hongchen's brain buzzed, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Then, how is he ---- doing now?"
Nana looked at her surprised, happy and nervous look, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "Since you have made the results yourself, why not go over there in person and report the details of Artificial Soul Spirit to him?"
"This achievement is the culmination of so many years of hard work. It is most appropriate for you to hand it over to him personally."
These words spoke to Meng Hongchen's heart, and her pounding heart almost jumped out of her throat.
But she was still hesitating, her eyes were averting, and she muttered in a low voice, "Will this--will it disturb him?"
"He is busy preparing for his ascension. He must be very busy. I can just ask someone to send a report for this trivial matter. Why bother to go there myself——"
"This is not a trivial matter." Xiao Hongchen interjected at some point, "If it can change the entire Soul Master World result, it would have to be reported to others with gongs and drums. I wish the whole world would know about it."
"It's just you. You obviously want to fly there immediately, but you still pretend to be polite."
"Brother!"
Meng Hongchen was angry and embarrassed. He raised his foot and kicked him lightly, making his cheeks blush even more.
"Why are you still making fun of me!"
Xiao Hongchen was not annoyed even after being kicked by her. He shrugged and pouted at Nana: "I'm not making fun of you. I'm helping others."
Nana smiled and smoothed things over, "Okay, this is a great achievement, and you should personally explain it both emotionally and rationally."
" Although Master Lu Ren is busy preparing for his ascension, he has always been very concerned about this matter. If you go, he will only be happy and will not feel disturbed."
Having said this, Meng Hongchen no longer hesitates.
She stood there and took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up.
"Okay." She raised her head, "Then I---- will report the situation to him."
I don't know how long it took.
Huo Yuhao woke up.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
and being in a strange room.
"I-am I still alive?"
Huo Yuhao subconsciously stretched out his hands and touched his head.
Now his head is securely growing on his neck, complete and perfect.
But there still seemed to be a dull pain in the neck that remained deep in the nerves, as if it had been slashed hard by a sharp blade and then forcefully taken back, with lingering numbness and chill that could not be dissipated no matter how hard he rubbed it.
Even though Huo Yuhao repeatedly rubbed and checked his neck with his fingertips, there was still no wound.
It's like nothing ever happened.
But the feeling of the moment of death was too real.
He remembers it clearly.
The endless information in Unlimited Void poured into Sea of Consciousness like a flood, tearing his consciousness into pieces.
In just a moment, Huo Yuhao and Sea of Consciousness were completely filled with information, and then they were bursting with information.
The suffocating feeling of being stretched out, the despair of feeling like your soul is being crushed by the weight of the entire universe----
This feeling still remains in the depths of his soul, like a thorn in his flesh, lingering no matter what, leaving Huo Yuhao with an extremely deep impression and a sense of despair.
Even now, there are still side effects.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but repeatedly recall the severe pain of his head being pulled out, the crisp sound of his bones breaking, and the warmth of his blood gushing out.
The last thing that caught his eye before his consciousness dissipated was the indifferent eyes of Lu Ren.
Those eyes - no doubt about it!
Isn't he dead?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao was breathing heavily, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Now he is sitting on the bed, looking at the sunshine coming in from the window, Brain is in chaos.
Take a deep breath----It's okay----
After adjusting his condition, Huo Yuhao looked down at his hands and clenched his fists.
He ran the cycle and found that not only had his cultivation not regressed even half a point, but because he had experienced the extreme stimulation on the verge of death, Spiritual Power had faint signs of further progress.
Just like the stone that has been stuck at the bottleneck, it was knocked loose by the death experience and may be completely broken at any time.
"This feeling----"
Huo Yuhao murmured to himself. He had experienced too many tests on the edge of life and death and was no stranger to this feeling.
Every time he passes through the gate of hell, his strength will rise.
Then Huo Yuhao seemed to realize something, and immediately calmed down and carefully checked whether his Divine Nature Seed was still there.
That God of Emotion Divine Nature Seed left in his body is one of the biggest trump cards in his life.
As long as Divine Nature Seed is still there, he still retains the qualification to inherit Emotion God Position, and can still embark on the road leading to the Divine Realm 0
Soon, Huo Yuhao confirmed that Divine Nature Seed was intact in his body, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately----Emotion God Position was not lost.
As long as Divine Nature Seed is still here, he is qualified to ascend.
But at that moment, the door was pushed open.
A familiar figure walked in from outside the door.
The white-haired man, Blue Eyes, had a faint smile on his lips. He strolled to the chair beside the bed and sat down. He crossed his legs and cast the light on Huo Yuhao.
"Lu Ren----"
Huo Yuhao As soon as he saw him coming in, his whole body tensed up involuntarily.
"Do I care about your Divine Nature Seed? Do you think I will steal it?"
Lu Ren looked at him directly and said calmly.
Huo Yuhao twitched the corner of his mouth and did not answer immediately.
"What are you doing standing still? After you die once, you don't know how to live anymore?" Lu Ren saw Huo Yuhao sinking into such a dull look and expressed dissatisfaction.
Huo Yuhao was startled, then said, "Did you save me?"
"Otherwise?" Lu Ren asked him.
Huo Yuhao: "----Why did you save me? What can I do for you?"
Although the other party had just brought him back from death, he was not so naive as to think that Lu Ren saved him out of some kind intention.
This person has a purpose in everything he does. To save him, there must be a reason to save him.
Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something, "Is it for my Divine Nature Seed?"
"----Your joke is terrible." Lu Ren couldn't help complaining, "If I really wanted to snatch it away, do you think your Divine Nature Seed would still be in your body?"
But Huo Yuhao said, "Your cultivation level is already enough to break through the Douluo Continent's limit, so aren't you just one God Position short of getting Divine Realm's approval and you can Ascension to the Divine Realm right away?"
"Then this Divine Nature Seed must be very important to you."
"By taking my Divine Nature Seed, you can take away the God Position that I should have inherited, and then go to the Ascension to the Divine Realm."
"This saves you the effort of looking for God Position, and you can get it right in one step, right?"
However, who knew that Lu Ren was very disdainful.
He leaned back in the chair, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened a bit, with a condescending tone. "I don't need to use this method."
Huo Yuhao:"?"
Huo Yuhao was immediately stunned.
No need?
What does it mean not to need?
That's God Position.
It is the supreme thing that countless Limit Douluo cannot touch in their entire lives, and it is the only key to the Divine Realm.
In the entire Douluo Continent, there are only a few existences that can be recognized by God Position, even after thousands of years of history.
If he Huo Yuhao can win the favor of God of Emotion, he can be regarded as the chosen one among the chosen ones.
And Lu Ren, a person who is also stuck at the Tsukumo level limit and also needs God Position to ascend, actually said that he does not care about the stolen God Position?
"What do you mean?" Huo Yuhao frowned, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "If you don't steal my Divine Nature Seed, how are you going to ascend?"
"You can't just conjure up a God Position out of thin air, right?"
Lu Ren looked at him, his eyes were calm but bottomless.
"God Position There is always more than one way to inherit something like this."
"Some inherit it, some rob it, and some ---- build one for themselves."
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly shrank: "You----"
Build your own God Position----What is the concept?
"Enough with the nonsense."
Lu Ren gradually lost patience and looked at Huo Yuhao indifferently.
"Now that you're awake, I'll tell you straight away.
"Would you be interested in making a deal with me?"
