Zhuo Ning's Departure
Three days later, Yi Xuan and Liang Shi appeared in the palace at the same time.
Having already arranged everything, Zhuo Ning had removed his yellow robe, and behind him stood the old man he called Uncle Lin.
"Is everything arranged?"
Yi Xuan looked at Zhuo Ning, whose hands were empty, and asked.
What can be arranged?
Zhuo Ning looked at Yi Xuan and smiled, saying, "Since we started governing according to the separation of powers you gave us a year ago, I hardly have to worry about anything except for some major decisions!"
At this point, Zhuo Ning's eyes actually looked somewhat downcast.
He looked past Yi Xuan and Liang Shi, as if he could see the entire Xia Kingdom.
Under his leadership, the country was transformed from a chaotic place into a fully modernized nation.
Although it relied mainly on Yi Xuan's technology, Zhuo Ning's contributions to the governance of the Xia Kingdom were also irreplaceable.
Now, suddenly having to leave the country he built with his own hands, Zhuo Ning was truly reluctant.
But the struggle for the throne in the Immortal Kingdom has only just begun. Since he has already decided to vie for the throne, he should do it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you fall behind at one step, you'll fall behind at every step.
If he had returned even one day later, his brothers and sisters might have had a greater chance of becoming the future emperor.
Zhuo Ning looked back at the Hall of Mental Cultivation where he had lived for several years, and finally shook his head helplessly. He then bowed to Yi Xuan and Liang Shi to take his leave.
Yi Xuan had always been averse to parting, but he understood that as everyone's life progressed, both reunions and separations were inevitable.
Especially in this world of cultivation, separation is perhaps more common than reunion.
Seeing that Zhuo Ning had made the atmosphere somewhat melancholic, Yi Xuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, don't look like that. This isn't the Zhuo Ning who almost wiped out the entire Martial Dao of Southern Frontier!"
After saying that, Yi Xuan waved his hand, and a person who looked exactly like Zhuo Ning appeared in front of them.
He looked at the guy who looked exactly like him, except he was wearing a yellow robe.
Zhuo Ning looked at Yi Xuan curiously and asked, "This...?"
"Yes, it's the Pangu. From now on, when you're not around, it will take your place until you return!"
In any case, the Xia Kingdom has now smoothly transitioned to a political system of separation of powers, so the need for an emperor is decreasing.
Furthermore, with the addition of bionic skin Pangu becomes indistinguishable from the real thing, so no one will even notice that the emperor of the Xia Kingdom has been replaced.
Looking at the Pangu that resembled himself, Zhuo Ning naturally understood Yi Xuan's meaning.
Yi Xuan chuckled and said, "See? Hehe, one day, when you lose the battle for the throne to someone else, come back to my side and become emperor! Don't worry, I don't need to fight for the throne!"
Liang Shi, who was standing nearby, handed over a Storage Bag. Seeing Zhuo Ning take the Storage Bag with some curiosity, Liang Shi explained, "These are some small things that my master and I prepared for you. You'll probably need them when you get back!"
Zhuo Ning was deeply moved to see how much Yi Xuan and Liang Shi had done for her.
But just as he was about to speak, Uncle Lin's voice came from behind him. "Prince Ning! We should go!"
Without waiting for Zhuo Ning's response, a formation suddenly lit up beneath their feet.
Yi Xuan was extremely familiar with this; it was the Greater Teleportation Talisman.
It seems that the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom is indeed a top power in the Central Continent, as they actually use the Greater Teleportation Talisman for travel; it's quite extravagant.
As the array beneath his feet grew brighter and brighter, Zhuo Ning ultimately said nothing, but instead bowed to Yi Xuan and the other person again in farewell.
After Yi Xuan and the other person bowed to each other, they stood quietly and watched Zhuo Ning leave.
Just as the light emanating from the array beneath Zhuo Ning's feet was about to completely engulf him and Uncle Lin, Yi Xuan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his hands began to form Method Formula.
Zhuo Ning didn't understand what Yi Xuan was doing until the moment before the light of the Greater Teleportation Talisman completely enveloped him, when Zhuo Ning felt his mind suddenly go blank.
After the white light disappeared, he and Uncle Lin had arrived within the territory of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
At the same time, a feeling in his mind told Zhuo Ning that his Soul Control relationship with Yi Xuan had been severed.
In other words, from this moment on, he finally regained his freedom.
However, there was not a trace of joy on his face.
The Xia Kingdom was not affected by Zhuo Ning's departure. Originally, Yi Xuan was worried that the Pangu's own intelligence would not be able to handle the emperor's duties.
Yi Xuan even considered bringing over the Evil Corpse currently at the Xia Kingdom's research center to make it emperor.
However, after half a month, Yi Xuan discovered that under the existing political system, Pangu could completely replace Zhuo Ning, and his worries were indeed unnecessary.
Thus, Yi Xuan finally focused all his energy on the modification of cyborgs.
Because Liang Shi already had a thorough understanding of the Demon Scorpion Soldier when Yi Xuan was developing the implantable device.
To gain a more thorough understanding, Liang Shi even personally dismembered a Demon Scorpion Soldier.
Of course, the result was very gratifying: everything went very smoothly from the moment the two began creating cyborg lifeforms.
Because Liang Shi already had a sufficient understanding of the biological state of the Demon Scorpion Soldier, Yi Xuan's implantation of the device produced almost no adverse reactions.
Ultimately, technology, biology, and cultivation—three things that should have existed separately—were actually integrated into the body of the Demon Scorpion Soldier.
After another two weeks of optimization and improvement, the performance of the new Demon Scorpion Soldier finally met Yi Xuan's needs in all aspects.
Meanwhile, the lithography machine on the No. 01 was finally completed. Watching the simplified brain control chip being processed from the lithography machine, Liang Shi was overjoyed.
Yi Xuan, completely satisfied, took the special Demon Scorpion Soldier to No. 2 Base.
Currently, there are launch missions almost every day at No. 2 Base. In addition, Yi Xuan had already arranged for the construction of launch pods capable of carrying biological organisms. Therefore, the launch mission was completed on the second day after Yi Xuan returned to No. 2 Base.
After arranging for the Demon Scorpion Soldier to enter the launch bay, Yi Xuan returned to the main control room of No. 2 Base and quietly watched the launch vehicle accelerate into the sky.
Twenty minutes later, the launch capsule, which had already separated from the carrier rocket, entered its designated orbit.
Another hour later, the Seeking Immortality Space Station and the launch module successfully docked.
Under Yi Xuan's control, the Demon Scorpion Soldier successfully entered the Seeking Immortality Space Station. However, many things still needed to be prepared for the subsequent experiments, so Yi Xuan could only give the Demon Scorpion Soldier the instruction to remain silent.
After that, all the robots on the space station started working.
