Chapter 176 The Design Equation of Life; The Use of Cloning (6.6k) (Please Subscribe)

Thank you.

"It's just a transaction."

Liu Yuan carefully put away the storage soul tool that Xu Tianran had given him, because it contained the soul tool technology and related information that he needed.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you." Xu Tianran pointed to the storage soul tool and said, "We've also put the Life Design Equation, the reward for this mission, into the storage soul tool."

"If you're planning to study this—"

At this point, Xu Tianran paused, "Then you'd better be careful not to cause any big trouble."

Hearing his tone, Liu Yuan frowned slightly.

What is this life design equation?

What makes people so wary?

The moment the two questions formed in Liu Yuan's mind, he roughly guessed the answer: "Could it be that the zombie crisis that has broken out in your world was caused by this life design equation?"

"Sigh," Xu Tianran sighed.

That's right.

In order to prevent Liu Yuan from being careless and repeating their mistakes, Xu Tianran slowly recounted what had happened.

It turns out that this life design equation is a lost "treasure" that the Holy Spirit Cult obtained by chance, and it contains a lot of taboo knowledge about biology.

Because researching this forbidden knowledge requires a considerable investment, the Holy Spirit Church had no choice but to inform Xu Tianran, who was in a honeymoon period with them, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement.

Upon learning that the Life Design Equation contained a method to enhance bloodline strength and thus increase power, Xu Tianran agreed without hesitation.

Because in his view at the time, as long as the ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire could improve their bloodline strength, they could break through the shackles of breaking through from level ninety-four to ninety-five and possess a Super Douluo.

With the help of the Soul Tool, let alone the three great Douluo Empires, even if you were Shrek Academy, you wouldn't be able to withstand the Sun Moon Empire's offensive.

Who would have thought that letting the Holy Spirit Church lead the research would completely open this Pandora's box?

A huge investment of money and resources yielded only a few incomplete vials of the potion. While the Soul Masters did experience an increase in strength after the injections, their joy was short-lived, as a sudden and bizarre event occurred! Everyone who had received the injections turned into cannibalistic madmen—and in large numbers!

In order to find out the source of the problem, several of the Sun Moon Empire's top level nine soul masters set out together and finally managed to break into the evil soul masters' stronghold.

After seizing the item, they discovered through research that this improvement came at a price, and that price was food!

In fact, they don't just eat people; any creature containing enormous energy becomes their food, serving as the resources for their bloodline transformation.

Humans and spirit beasts are undoubtedly on their menu.

The more abundant their energy and the purer their physical form, the hungrier and more craving they will feel. This is because if they cannot eat, they will consume their own energy, leading to the demise of their physical bodies.

This madness even affects the soul.

And that's how zombies came to be.

Si Liuyuan gasped.

However, when he looked at Xu Tianran, his face held an indescribable expression.

How so?

He brought it on himself.

Xu Tianran himself is largely to blame for this situation. It can be said that greed is the root of all his problems.

Liu Yuan lowered his gaze and glanced at the storage soul tool he had neatly put away. "So besides this, what else is recorded in the Life Design Equation?"

"Yes, of course—"

Each word that came out of Xu Tianran's mouth made Liu Yuan's eyebrows twitch.

Just hearing the names is taboo, let alone how these methods were even developed.

But soon, Liu Yuan's expression suddenly froze.

"etc!"

He suddenly spoke, stopping Xu Tianran. Then, his gaze blazing as he looked at him, "What did you just say? Cloning is in the life design equation!?"

"Uh—yes."

Xu Tianran was taken aback at first, then tapped his lower body. "Actually, I originally planned to start the cloning project after that project was completed. That way, I could try replacing my lower body—"

"What a pity."

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"Given the current situation, we have no choice but to put it on hold."

Liu Yuan didn't care at all what Xu Tianran said afterward. What he was thinking about now was whether, if cloning technology was feasible, they could use Elder Mu's cells to clone a brand new body for him.

In this way, his physical condition can be effectively resolved.

As for how the soul is transferred—

Perhaps Old Yi has a solution.

With this in mind, Liu Yuan made up his mind.

We'll get started on this project as soon as we get back.

Regardless of the outcome, let's give it a try first.

Moreover, this life design equation goes far beyond that. It encompasses everything from bloodline evolution and species cloning to gene editing and biomodification.

If this forbidden knowledge is used properly, it will be of great benefit to both humans and spirit beasts.

But if you don't use it properly—

The cosmic catastrophe serves as a cautionary tale.

After Liu Yuan obtained what he wanted, he exchanged brief pleasantries with Ye Guyi, Xu Tianran, and the others, without intending to linger. After a simple farewell, he opened the platform panel, found the task they had posted, and clicked "Return."

The next second, a nine-colored radiance enveloped him, and he vanished without a trace. Only the Faith Source Willow clone left in the palace could prove that he had indeed been there.

"Gone?"

"I'm gone."

Ye Guyi's face was gloomy. After answering Xu Tian, ​​he suddenly looked towards the sea.

Perhaps we should have someone investigate the Sea God family.

"Clatter, clatter—"

"Um?"

Just then, she heard a sound of bones clashing and knocking. Ye Guyi looked over in confusion and saw the one-armed skeleton soldier looking at her pitifully, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"oops"

Ye Guyi suddenly slapped her forehead.

"How could he forget about you!"

But now that Liu Yuan is no longer in this universe, what can she do? Helpless, Ye Guyi could only say, "Fine, you can come with me for now."

97

On the other side, in the original universe.

Liu Yuan is back.

But the first thing he did upon returning was neither to report to the inner courtyard nor to find Di Qiu'er. Instead, without saying a word, he opened the gate to the undead demiplane, took out the Life Design Equation, and went to find Ilex.

Just as he met Elder Yi, he saw a headless zombie lying on an ice platform radiating cold air. Elder Yi and Xue Di were examining it with great interest.

They only looked away when Liu Yuan arrived.

"You've arrived." Seeing his hurried appearance, Electrolux immediately spotted the brick-like tome in his hand.

"What is that?"

"The Life Design Equation".

Liu Yuanchao, the headless zombie, gestured with his lip. "That kind of zombie is a flawed product created by evil spirit masters based on what's in this book."

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Electrolux immediately became interested.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, the book "The Design Equation of Life" flew into his hand automatically.

According to his recent research, zombies are undergoing an evolutionary process. From this perspective, it's a good thing. However, the problem lies in the fact that zombie bloodlines possess extremely strong aggressiveness and contamination, characteristics that persist even after death.

Unexpectedly, just when he became interested and wanted to continue his research, "The Design Equation for Life" came along.

Electrolux's interest grew even stronger after flipping through the pages.

"Genius, genius!"

With Electrox's perspective, he could naturally see the true nature of this knowledge. As for the taboos involved—do you think a demigod who dared to study necromancy and unleash a necromantic scourge would care?

On the contrary, Xue Di—who was merely observing—had already furrowed her brows into a "#" shape.

The fact that even she, the overlord of the far north, found it hard to bear shows just how taboo this knowledge was.

"The knowledge in this is too much—" she finally couldn't help but exclaim. But she only got halfway through her sentence before she didn't know how to continue.

"Knowledge is taboo, but it is a good thing."

Liu Yuan withdrew his clear gaze.

There was no way around it; these things were far too profound. At most, he could understand the forbidden level, just like Xue Di. But if he continued to delve deeper—it felt to him like he had encountered calculus in his previous life.

If you don't know something, you simply don't know it!

However, he could read Old Master Yi's expression.

As long as the teacher approves, it's a good thing regardless of whether it's forbidden or not.

Xue Di nodded silently.

That's the truth.

"Teacher, look at the page on cloning. If we use the methods described here to clone a new body for Elder Mu, and then transfer his soul there—"

"feasible."

After listening to Liu Yuan's line of thought, Electrolux nodded slightly. "The cloned body is almost identical to the original body. As long as the soul is injected before the clone is born, there will be no rejection."

"But in this way, his physical strength and his soul strength will not match. If we don't find a way to seal his soul strength, then this cloned body will collapse."

A thoughtful look appeared in Liu Yuan's eyes. "In other words, Elder Mu has essentially been reborn."

"That's right."

"but--"

As soon as those two words appeared, Electrolux's tone turned serious. "You must understand, when a person's physical body perishes, the soul departs from the body. At that moment, the soul's lifespan also begins its countdown. Unless the perishing body is completely reconstructed using the soul as a template, even if a body is cloned, the soul's lifespan will still be diminishing. Because although a clone may be similar to the original, it can never be 100% identical."

Does the soul have a lifespan?

Liu Yuan looked at Elder Yi almost instinctively.

I couldn't figure it out either.

Perhaps Liu Yuan's gaze was too obvious, for Elder Yi could guess his meaning. He shook his head slightly and explained, "I am different. Although I am a remnant soul, I am essentially a divine consciousness. And when a person's soul transforms from mortal to divine, unless destroyed by external forces, the soul can still endure in the world."

"But the souls of mortals are different. No matter how high your cultivation level is, as long as your soul has not undergone transformation, it still has a limited lifespan. As long as there is a way to keep the soul in the world, a person's soul lifespan is twice that of their physical lifespan."

"If he wants to break free from this boundary, his soul will have to transform into divine consciousness like mine. Alternatively, there may be special methods or powers to slow down the passing of his soul's lifespan."

After listening, Liu Yuan pondered for a moment.

double.

In other words, when the physical body dies, as long as a body can be cloned, the soul can still live for another lifetime.

As long as one strives to cultivate one's soul into divine consciousness in the next life, there will be no more worries about lifespan.

So, in that case—

That works too.

At least this way, teachers can survive.

Besides, cultivating divine consciousness isn't impossible. For example, back in the era of the Dragon King Legend, there were several non-god-level humans who cultivated divine consciousness.

Unfortunately—

Liu Yuan glanced at Electrolux and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If Electrolux weren't just a remnant soul without any physical body, he would definitely have found a way to clone him and bring him back to life.

But just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Can this cloning process turn soul beasts into humans?"

The Snow Empress cast a curious glance at them, her curiosity tinged with a hint of anticipation.

Liu Yuan and Electrolux exchanged a glance, and in an instant, they understood Xue Di's thoughts.

"no."

Electrolux shook his head and offered an explanation.

"Cloning only creates another body for you; it doesn't transform a soul beast into a human. In other words, even if you're cloned, you'll still be a soul beast. Moreover, you'll only have one year of cultivation as a soul beast."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di immediately abandoned the idea that had just arisen.

Starting from scratch, one cultivates to a level of 100,000 years, and then transforms into a human? Or perhaps one starts cultivating from scratch, continuing down the path of a ferocious beast, not only having to withstand heavenly tribulations but also cultivating divine consciousness when their soul's lifespan is about to end?

Let's skip that then.

The path to heaven is right in front of you, so don't force yourself to endure the hardships. Who doesn't cultivate for longevity and immortality?

"Actually, this cloning technology can also be used on soul beasts." Liu Yuan suddenly revealed a hint of excitement, and then placed his hand on the soul tool.

With a flash of white light, "Bang!"

With a dull thud, a bronze coffin radiating the aura of life crashed heavily to the ground.

With a "bang," the door was opened, and the golden-haired lion mastiff's carcass lay inside, perfectly intact, without the slightest sign of decay.

"This is--"

Xue Di frowned. Having lived in the far north for many years, she had no idea what kind of soul beast this was.

"This is a golden-haired lion mastiff—"

Liu Yuan succinctly described the golden-haired lion-dog's general situation. Its exaggerated stats and powerful bloodline utterly shocked the Snow Empress!

Then, Liu Yuan began to explain his thought process.

"If the method described in the 'Life Design Equation' is feasible, then as long as we collect the genes of the soul beasts and clone them, the soul beasts will not become extinct once these clones are born with souls."

In fact, in Liu Yuan's view, if soul spirits were born and allowed to develop freely, the situation of soul beasts would definitely develop into the situation of the Dragon King Legend era.

Because if soul technology is to advance and artificial souls are to be created, materials will definitely be needed for research.

These materials must have come from spirit beasts.

But if we had these clones, then at least in the area of ​​artificial soul research, we wouldn't need to hunt down the naturally born soul beasts in the forest.

It can be considered as taking precautions.

Snow Emperor:

You know what, although this sounds a bit uncomfortable for the soul beast, it actually makes a lot of sense!

She looked at the page about cloning in "The Design Equation of Life" and suddenly said, "I dare say."

If you can present this to Di Tian in a plausible way, making him believe you have a 50% chance of succeeding, then he'll have to protect you no matter what.

Liu Yuan: ? ! !

really?!

What if I steal his little cabbage?

After that, Electrolux accepted the book, *The Design Equation of Life*. Once he had a good grasp of the subject, he would test it on the golden-haired lion-mastiff's carcass. And once everything was ready, he would help Moonclone.

As for the headless zombie—

Electrolux decisively set the place on fire, burning away all traces of him. Then Liu Yuan mobilized the power of the Source Willow to purify all remaining traces.

To prevent the baby dragon from being contaminated by zombie energy when the dragon egg hatches.

"Then, teacher, I'll be going now."

After entrusting the "Life Design Equation" to Electrolux so that his teacher could study it, Liu Yuan prepared to leave the Undead Demiplane.

After all, time flows erratically in parallel universes, so who knows how long this "seclusion" has actually lasted? Moreover, his room is no longer concealed by the platform, so if Di Qiu'er and the others come, they'll definitely find him missing.

However, just as Liu Yuan was about to leave—

"etc!"

Suddenly, Electrolux called out to him.

Liu Yuan looked puzzled. "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Electrolux looked completely at ease. "Find a suitable time to prepare for the fusion of your second spirit and your own spirit."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately!

"You've grown old?!"

Then, she looked at Xue Di, who was standing to the side.

"It's done."

At this moment, Xue Di's icy lips parted slightly, "Liu Yuan, don't forget our agreement."

"rest assured."

Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

It's just a notification to Hyotei.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to hand over the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire to Yuhao so that he could study it and, incidentally, have the information "whitewashed" through Yuhao's hands.

Afterwards, Liu Yuan returned to his bedroom from the undead demiplane. He hadn't noticed in his haste to leave, but now he saw that even the bed was covered in dust.

It seems I've been away for quite some time.

You can wait until you open the bedroom door and walk into the living room.

But they found the living room to be incredibly clean!

Even the school uniforms that were originally placed on the sofa were deliberately wrapped in cloth.

Clearly, someone had come and cleaned it.

Just then, "click".

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the door of the house.

The next second, Liu Yuan saw a beautiful blonde figure opening the door with a broom or something similar in hand.

Di Qiu'er looked up and they met eyes.

"You're awake."

"6

There was no excitement, only calm.

On the contrary, Liu Yuan was deeply moved. He opened his arms and hugged Di Qiu'er.

"Qiu'er, thank you—"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Di Qiu'er had already grabbed a broom and mop and was also heading towards Liu Yuan.

Then--

He stuffed the broom and mop into Liu Yuan's hands.

Liu Yuan: o—0? ? ?

!! ?

"It's been so long, aren't you going to give me a hug?"

Di Qiu'er tilted her head, her eyes carrying a strange expression.

"It's only been two months, that's not a long time."

"And also, how old are you?" As she said this, Di Qiu'er's gaze, which had been carrying a strange meaning, slowly turned into "You're so childish."

Immediately afterwards, "Go and clean up."

Liu Yuan: ————

That's so unromantic.

With Di Qiu'er by his side, Liu Yuan cleaned every corner of the house, big and small.

Since Di Qiu'er had cleaned the rest of the house a few days ago, except for the bedroom, Liu Yuan didn't have to put in much effort to clean the whole house.

After the event, Liu Yuan changed into his inner academy uniform and went to complete the registration procedures for the inner academy, which were two months late.

After that, Liu Yuan was first dragged by Di Qiu'er to the inner courtyard's Soul Arena, supposedly to test the gains he had made during his two months of seclusion. After the two finished sparring, they went to Shrek City for some leisure time.

As for Huo Yuhao—

No rush, we can go see him tomorrow.

The outer courtyard, the experimental area of ​​the Soul Guidance System.

At this moment, Fan Yu and Huo Yuhao were standing in front of the target, preparing to test a newly developed soul tool.

Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!

This is also Huo Yuhao's masterpiece over the past few months.

"Come on! Let's see how it goes."

Fan Yu looked at the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen a hidden weapon's mechanism combined with a soul guide.

If the Tang Clan had taken this path of mutual integration, how could it have ended up perishing?

"good!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes!

This was the first soul tool he had created based on his brother's advice. He was more eager than anyone to see what kind of power it would unleash.

However, just as he was preparing to test fire, a voice suddenly rang out, "Huo Yuhao!" interrupting the prepared test fire.

Instantly, Fan Yu's brows furrowed.

He turned around abruptly and looked at the student who had just called out. Upon seeing that it was Teacher Fan Yu, the student instinctively shrank back and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Oh no! I spoke too quickly!

I shouted it before I could see it clearly!

Upon seeing this, Fan Yu's face darkened with displeasure. "Why did you suddenly call Yu Hao? Didn't you see we were about to test fire?"

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao put away the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and quickly came to the rescue, "Teacher Fanyu, Senior must have something urgent to discuss with me. There's a reason for it, there's a reason—"

The student nodded repeatedly.

Yes, yes, yes!

Fan Yu shook her head. "Then tell me quickly, what is it?"

The student quickly said, "Yuhao, a guy named Liu Yuan says he's looking for you and wants you to go find him."

Liu Yuan?

Who will be the next leader of the Sea God Pavilion?

Just as Fan Yu was going through her thoughts, she turned around and saw that Huo Yuhao had disappeared.

"Huh? Where's Yuhao?"

The student who came to inform them pointed outside, "They just ran out."

Meanwhile, after leaving the Soul Guidance System test area, Huo Yuhao rushed to Seagod Island without stopping.

In his opinion, his brother must have something important to tell him!

If that's the case, then we need to speed things up!

Within minutes, there was a knock on Liu Yuan's door.

"They're here."

The door had just opened when someone said, "Brother."

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Liu Yuan calmly greeted him, "Yuhao, come in." Clearly, Liu Yuan wasn't surprised that he had arrived so quickly.

As soon as they sat down, Liu Yuan intended for Huo Yuhao to have some tea first and chat slowly. However, the young man cut to the chase.

"Brother, is there anything you need from me?"

As he spoke, he looked quite serious.

Liu Yuan: ————

This forced him to swallow back his pleasantries.

Got it!

Why is this kid so rigid?

Therefore, we can only get to the point.

"I called you here because there are indeed two things."

"Well, this is number one—"

Liu Yuan took out a storage soul tool that had been used to remove information about the Sun Moon Empire and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "This contains all the soul tool technologies of the Sun Moon Empire."

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Huo Yuhao's hand trembled instantly as he received the storage soul tool. But the next second, as soon as he reacted, he stared intently at the storage soul tool.

Huo Yuhao had no doubt about Liu Yuan's words. If he said this contained all of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology, then it absolutely did!

"Brother, these soul-guided technologies—"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yuan stretched out a hand to stop him. "It's none of your business where these things came from."

But remember, don't take anything out until you return from the Sun and Moon Empire.

Huo Yuhao, quick-witted, immediately understood Liu Yuan's meaning. "Then I'll say it's a part I stole from Mingde Hall."

If I said all of it, no one would believe me;

If you tell me part of it, 99% of people will believe it.

In any case, no one except themselves knows exactly how much technology the Sun Moon Empire possesses. Therefore, Huo Yuhao is left to make up his own stories.

"Yes, I'm glad you understand."

Liu Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"So, brother, what's the second thing?"

"And the second one—"

Liu Yuan paused slightly.

Under Huo Yuhao's slightly puzzled gaze, she stared intently at his head before speaking, "Yuhao, Ice Empress should be able to appear in her spiritual form, right? Why don't you have her come out?"

"This matter is related to her."
