Even for Su Mo, the insects in front of him were among the most resilient monsters he had ever seen.

Ordinary divine beasts, even the doomsday beasts we've seen before, are far less powerful than the monster before us.

If Su Mo's perception was correct, the monster before him had even surpassed almost all the gods in the Godslayer world, directly reaching the fifth rank.

"The messenger of reproduction, the Star-Shattering King Insect Skarakkabaz..."

Su Mo revealed the name of the giant beast.

As the messenger of the fallen Star God of Procreation, the being before me is one of the most terrifying nightmares of all realms in the [Universal Locust Plague] that has affected the entire universe.

Needless to say, the very name "Commander" is enough to indicate the level of power he occupies.

In the Star Iron World, this is an existence second only to the Star God.

Without the Star God present, the Commander is the highest fighting force.

"This is a replica of the Star Shattering King Insect."

Upon hearing that Su Mo recognized the person in front of him, Ruan Mei added from the side.

"Through my research on the breeding star god Taizyros and the messenger, I have reproduced a portion of the power of the Star Shattering King Worm. Although it is not at its peak, it still has about half of its power."

If these words were to be spoken, they would likely shock and astonish the entire universe.

Humans cultivated replicas that existed at the level of envoys.

If word of this gets out, Interstellar Peace Corporation will be willing to pay any price to exchange this technology with Ruan Mei.

These words are not an exaggeration; Ruan Mei's experiments truly have this level of value.

The greatest benefit of scientific research is that once the principle is understood, mass production becomes possible.

Commanders have always been the strongest pillar of top-tier forces. In the absence of Star Gods, the existence of Commanders is like a final weapon, providing reassurance to the masses.

If we can achieve the goal of mass production of the Envoy by leveraging Ruan Mei's research, even if these mass-produced products have less than half the power, even if they do not obey orders, and even if they have many shortcomings, it will be enough for the company to invest all its resources in them.

Without exaggeration, this is a technology capable of altering the balance of power at the top of the universe.

Of course, this technology cannot be fully put into use at present.

It's not that we're stuck on mass production, but rather on another issue.

"Fifty-six seconds."

After glancing at the Star-Shattering King Insects frozen in place as if in hibernation above her head, Ruan Mei turned to look at Su Mo.

"According to my calculations, once awakened, this clone can only maintain its power for fifty-six seconds, and then it will be unable to withstand the energy of the Commander level within its body and will completely dissipate."

"I want to ask you something, Su Mo, do you know why this is?"

Finally, her eyes were full of innocent questions, as if she wanted Su Mo to help answer them.

"Is this the question you wanted to confirm?"

Su Mo did not answer immediately, but instead asked a question in return.

"Ah."

Ruan Mei nodded, her attitude quite obedient.

“I have tried many times to first create the Commander, and then use the power of the Commander to push back the power of the Star God, and finally achieve the goal of creating, or rather becoming, the Star God.”

Facing Su Mo, who had already stated his intention to create a star god, Ruan Mei did not hide anything and had no intention of using the antidote on Su Mo.

With Su Mo's strength, he would never give her that opportunity.

"But for some reason, I'm stuck at the stage of creating the envoy."

Ruan Mei revealed the biggest problem currently troubling her.

"Even though we've thoroughly studied the physical structure of the Star Shattering King Insect, the individuals we cultivate still can't bear the power of their reproductive destiny. Even a one-to-one replica can't last three seconds..."

"Afterwards, I tried to rewrite the life factors of the Star Shattering King Insect, strengthening it greatly to obtain the prototype before me. However, even with its biological structure loaded to its strongest, it still could not withstand the power of the Commander level."

"I want to figure out exactly where the problem lies."

By the end, Ruan Mei's expression was full of curiosity.

She possesses not only the ambition to become a star goddess, but also an extremely terrifying talent.

Unlike Heita, a genius who excels across numerous fields and achieves constructive accomplishments wherever he is interested, Ruan Mei has always focused solely on the field of life sciences. She has no desire for wealth or fame and has no intention of publicizing her achievements...

Even within the Genius Club, she was considered a rather reclusive and mysterious type.

She was naturally very tempted by Su Mo's invitation.

They relinquished ownership of themselves to others in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted to Star God.

If this were made public, the number of people willing to accept it would probably be enough to circle the Milky Way.

Many people might care about their lack of freedom, but for Ruan Mei, she doesn't care about these things at all.

For someone as detached from emotions as her, let alone a family member, even if Su Mo directly asked her to become a bed warmer, she wouldn't necessarily have much resistance.

Compared to these trivial matters of worldly desires, the mystical experience of ascending from humanity to the status of a star god is something far more worthy of attention.

However, despite her childlike indifference in matters of the heart and her lack of resistance to the conditions Su Mo proposed, she still did not immediately accept Su Mo's invitation.

This wasn't because she wanted to bargain, but because she was genuinely still a little hesitant.

She has her own plan on how to become a star goddess.

Delve into the realm of life and master the various life factors in the universe.

The first step: create planet-level life forms; the second step: create messengers; the third step: create, and even elevate oneself to the status of a star god.

What simple and clear steps, what an easy and simple plan.

The reason she didn't immediately accept Su Mo's invitation was precisely this.

Although I got stuck on the second step a long time ago, getting stuck doesn't mean that this path is definitely not viable.

If she couldn't confirm that the road ahead was a dead end, then no matter how tempting the conditions Su Mo offered were, as a researcher, she would inevitably feel unwilling.

She wasn't concerned about the price of submitting to Su Mo; she simply didn't want to give up.

If I persist a little longer, is it possible that I can break through this bottleneck and achieve star godhood without relying on other people's solutions?

Faced with such an extremely simple question.

Su Mo countered with a question.

"If I can answer your questions, will you be willing to sign the contract?"

"Ok!"

Ruan Mei nodded immediately.

"No matter how you become a Star God, as long as you can answer this question, I am willing to be your possession."

She really wasn't there to get the answers for free.

If Su Mo can truly provide an answer, even if it proves her plan is feasible and she can achieve Star Godhood through her own path, Ruan Mei will still abide by the contract and become Su Mo's follower.

As a researcher, Ruan Mei understood very well that if Su Mo couldn't provide an answer either, she might be stuck at this 5.6 node for the rest of her life.

"Their attitude is very sincere."

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Researchers are easier to deal with; they're less socially adept and more straightforward.

"You mean... you've already found the answer?"

Seeing Su Mo's expression, Ruan Mei was suddenly taken aback.

She hadn't even had a chance to show Su Mo all her experimental data yet!

What? Just by looking at the Star-Shattering King Insect, the other party found out my problem?

It seemed unlikely by any measure, but considering Su Mo's previous performance, Ruan Mei didn't think the other party was bluffing.

So, the other party's mind has reached this level?!

Faced with the girl's astonished gaze, Su Mo didn't keep her in suspense and gave her the answer directly.

"Your plan has problems and is almost impossible to implement."

Hearing this answer, Ruan Mei was not particularly surprised. Getting stuck at this step meant that the experimental design was probably flawed.

She just didn't understand where the problem lay.

Where is the process problematic?

"There was a problem from the very beginning!"

Su Mo gave a resolute and confident answer.

“From the very beginning, you were completely on the wrong track.”

"It is not that the messenger must be created first before the star god can be created; rather, the star god must be created first before the messenger can be created."

"As I said before, the Envoy and the Star God are not in a progressive relationship. You got the most crucial order wrong from the beginning, which is why your plan has been failing repeatedly."

148. Life Catalogue, Historical Transition Period, Contract Established

"Can the Star Gods be created first, and then the Commanders?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's reason, Ruan Mei was momentarily stunned.

Having taken this path for granted for so long, this is the first time she has re-examined the steps she has set for herself.

"of course."

Su Mo nodded.

"In a sense, Star Gods and Fate Walkers are more similar. Both are beings who walk the path of fate and can control it. They control the power that they can control."

“But the Commander is different. The Commander is an existence that is actively endowed with destiny power and bound by the Star God. In other words, the destiny energy possessed by the Commander is not something that he can control on his own.”

"In fact, the envoy himself does not necessarily have to be a path-walker corresponding to his destiny."

"This also means that the Commander himself is not able to have complete control over his own power."
