Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 779 Advanced Research!

"real?"

Upon hearing the Dark Emperor's words, Bai Qi's expression changed drastically, and a murderous aura appeared between his brows.

Although the Dark Emperor seems to be a purely research-oriented character, research fanatics are not uncommon.

People who disregard the lives of their own kind will only become a menace if they remain.

Seemingly sensing Bai Qi's thoughts, Alpha behind him also made a move. The Sword of Annihilation trembled slightly, ready to annihilate the Dark Emperor with a single command from Bai Qi.

"Of course, it's just a pity that I can only integrate the bloodline of extraordinary creatures into human bodies to gain some extraordinary power. If I could integrate the entire bloodline of an extraordinary creature, then humans would truly be able to contend with ferocious beasts."

The Dark Emperor's face was full of regret as he said, "Unfortunately, as long as the conflict between human souls and the bloodlines of ferocious beasts remains unresolved, this idea will never be realized."

Upon hearing the Dark Emperor's words, Bai Qi was taken aback, while Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha exchanged bewildered glances.

Why does it feel like Dark Emperor and Bai Qi aren't on the same wavelength?

Bai Qi gave the Dark Emperor a deep look and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean that your Human Transmutation Array is merely for fusing the bloodlines of extraordinary beings?"

"certainly."

The Dark Emperor nodded and said, "The reason why extraordinary beings are so powerful is that they can communicate with the energy around them."

"We humans are incapable of doing these things except for cultivating our mental strength."

"That's why I wondered if humans could also gain such power if they possessed extraordinary bloodlines."

At this point, a peculiar expression suddenly appeared on the Dark Emperor's face.

"Did you know that I selected a group of volunteers and tried an experiment to fuse holy light and shadow, and it actually succeeded?"

"What you just saw, the Holy Light Guardians and the Shadow Guardians, are all the results of my research!"

Seemingly having found someone to talk to, the Dark Emperor was very excited, but suddenly became dejected.

"Unfortunately, humanity's ability to withstand extraordinary power is still somewhat lacking. The souls of the Holy Light Guardians and the bodies of the Shadow Guardians have both been affected to varying degrees."

"Unless there is a major breakthrough, the human transmutation program will likely be difficult to promote on a large scale."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi and the others finally understood.

If nothing unexpected happens, this emperor, who is more often criticized than praised in human history, was probably deceived by his subordinates.

The three exchanged glances and told the Dark Emperor about their discoveries in the underground palace and what they had seen and heard along the way. After listening to Bai Qi's description, the Dark Emperor fell silent.

"I know a little about the Borg family, but I know nothing about governing, so I hardly ever concern myself with their specific actions."

The Dark Emperor sighed and said, "Although the Creation Dynasty has once again integrated humanity, our living environment has not improved. Therefore, I need a large family like the Borg family to help me stabilize the dynasty."

"I just didn't expect them to be this crazy..."

Awoo awoo...

(Human, he wasn't lying...)

Beta's vertical pupils were fixed on the Dark Emperor, but he did not notice anything unusual.

"I can tell."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. With the enhancement of the Soul Law, his perception was much stronger than before, so he could naturally tell that the Dark Emperor was not lying.

Moreover, given the current situation, there's no point in lying or not lying.

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence we have received, the tribe is very likely to launch a large-scale attack in the near future, so..."

"I already knew that."

Bai Qi carefully considered his words and told the Dark Emperor what they knew. The Dark Emperor showed no surprise and tapped the table lightly. The table immediately flipped over and turned into a large map.

This map is very peculiar. It looks like it's made of rock, but it's constantly changing, and it can even grow larger or smaller depending on the Dark Emperor's actions.

"The location of the Creation Dynasty is the most barren of the surrounding lands, and it is surrounded by tribes, leaving it with almost no way to retreat."

The Dark Emperor pointed to the border of the Creation Dynasty and said, "If the tribes are willing, they can launch a simultaneous attack, and the Creation Empire will fall apart."

"But the tribes weren't united, which is why the Creation Dynasty was able to continue existing, right?"

Bai Qi carefully examined the map and said.

"That's right. These tribes already have grudges against each other, and they prefer a buffer zone in the middle rather than a powerful rival tribe."

The Dark Emperor gave a wry smile and said, "After all, to them, we humans are just ants that they can crush at any time."

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon hearing this. The tribes had existed for far longer than human society, and neighboring tribes frequently waged war against each other.

There's now a buffer zone, which is good for both sides.

"But not all tribes think this way."

The Dark Emperor zoomed in on one of the tribes, where a fox pattern was clearly carved.

"The Sky Fox tribe in the north of the empire has always felt that humans pose a potential threat, so they have always wanted to eliminate us."

"But instead of launching a large-scale war, they chose to gradually erode the empire's territory."

"If this continues, the empire will eventually be swallowed up by the Sky Fox Tribe."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately understood and asked, "So, Your Majesty, you had the Borg family take the lead in creating the Holy Light Guard and the Shadow Guard to counter them?"

"That's right. The number of beast tamers in the Creation Dynasty is simply no match for the tribes. Even though I have used alchemy to create various weapons, it is still not enough."

The Dark Emperor nodded and said, "Even if the human body is successfully refined, the Creation Dynasty still cannot compete with the tribes."

"Therefore, humanity needs a victory, a victory strong enough to make tribes fear humanity and dare not easily attack them!"

"And coincidentally, the Heavenly Fox Tribe has gradually lost patience and plans to take over the Creation Dynasty in one fell swoop."

At this point, the Dark Emperor's eyes suddenly became deep, and his aura underwent a tremendous change.

If the Dark Emperor previously seemed to be just a researcher obsessed with alchemy, now he is a strategist and a human emperor!

"But Your Majesty just said that the gap in strength between humans and tribes is huge, and even human-based alchemy wouldn't be enough?"

Bai Qi asked.

"Actually, I gave up on human transmutation a long time ago. After all, the risks are too high and the rewards are too small. It simply cannot produce results in a short period of time."

The Dark Emperor smiled, reverting to his original research fanatic self. He excitedly dragged Bai Qi to a corner of the palace and pulled out a metal sphere.

"This is what I've been researching lately; it can unleash the power to destroy a city in an instant!"

"This is only the initial stage. In a few days, after I perfect the internal alchemical structure, the area of ​​destruction will only expand!"

"Instantaneous explosion? Bomb?"

After listening to the Dark Emperor's description, Bai Qi and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

In this era, the Dark Emperor was already able to concoct bombs? Then why haven't we seen many firearms in the later dynasties?

"Bomb? That's a fitting name, let's call him Bomb!"

Bai Qi: "..."

Great, the first bomb in history has been born.

However, the ability to instantly destroy a city and even expand its reach seems to make this thing more similar to an annihilation weapon.

Is the Dark Emperor's research really that advanced?

Bai Qi stroked his chin, his gaze towards the sphere had changed, and Shu Ke was even more direct; if Bai Qi hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have gone straight up to analyze it.

"However, according to you, the tribe will take action soon, and I need to complete the improvement of the alchemical bomb as soon as possible."

The Dark Emperor looked at Bai Qi and the others and said, "So I would like to ask you to help me confirm the specific situation so that I can make preparations in advance."

"That's no problem, Your Majesty, but are you really sure that just one bomb is enough?"

Bai Qi nodded, while also expressing his concerns.

Even with such a powerful annihilation weapon, the Federation still wouldn't dare say it could completely defeat the tribes. No matter how strong Dark Emperor's alchemical bomb is, it probably still won't be enough.

"Don't worry, I have other preparations, that's enough."

"That would be best."

Bai Qi understood, and looking at the smiling Dark Emperor, suddenly asked, "May I ask why Your Majesty trusts us strangers so much?"

Do you think I have a choice?

The Dark Emperor smiled, gently tapped the stone map, and the map transformed back into a table. He then picked up a piece of wood and continued carving.

"That seems to be true."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then summoned the husky and Jetta.

"Shuke, stay here and see if you can be of any help. Jeta, you discuss the bloodline matter with His Majesty, understand?"

Snoring?

(What does Jetta need to know?)

Jetta was completely bewildered, having no idea what Bai Qi was talking about, while Shuke immediately understood.

"Don't worry, Beast Tamer, I'll do my best to help."

A glint of greed flashed in Shuke's eyes, and platinum data streams flowed rapidly in his vision, indicating that he had already begun recording the Dark Emperor's actions.

Alchemy, a technique that has long been lost, would be a tremendous boost to his abilities if he could master it.

"Well then, we'll be leaving now."

Seeing that the Dark Emperor was already immersed in alchemy, Bai Qi and the other two quietly withdrew from the palace.

"Bai Qi, what do we do next?"

Bai Qiucha asked.

"Judging from the Borg brothers' words, the beast siege is probably imminent, and we must prepare as soon as possible."

Bai Qi looked north, his gaze seemingly traversing the thousands of miles of space in between, and saw the movements of the Heavenly Fox Tribe.

"Is it because the Borg brothers demanded military power?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen suddenly realized what was happening and frowned.

"Since the Borg Brotherhood has come specifically to demand military power, their army must be quite strong. If they rebel at this time, we'll have a hard time dealing with them."

"I understand, that's why we need to prepare early."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Zhuge Chen, investigate in the capital to see if there are any unusual things happening, no matter how absurd they may seem."

"Acha, go and track down the Shadow Guards and see if you can get any useful information. The Shadow Guards are responsible for external combat, and they may have direct contact with the tribes."

"As for me, I'll make a trip to the Borg family and see what they're really up to!"
