Su Heng squatted on the ground, closely observing the experintal subject at his feet.
Although the successfully developed potion had removed the mutated state from the subject's body, the excessive consumption of Life Force and the damage caused to the brain's nerves were irreversible and beyond Healing.
Under the effect of nerve reflexes, the half-human, half-Demon experint twitched its limbs a couple of tis.
Its mouth seed to be muttering sothing, but before Su Heng could hear it clearly, its pupils slowly dilated, and it completely fell into a deep sleep.
"In this world, humans' lives are indeed fragile," Su Heng murmured. He then administered the remaining potion to other experintal subjects. These subjects were relieved of their mutated states, but without exception, none of them survived. Su Heng did not feel sorry for such results. His approach was a thunderous operation; there weren't many surviving mutated beings left on this continent anyway.
As long as ordinary people could develop resistance to the constraints, Su Heng did not care about the life and death of those already infected.
"Besides, the dicinal effect is a bit too intense. It's worth considering diluting it to a certain extent, or administering it in several different batches," Su Heng summarized so of the key points he had just thought of.
As for the thod of administration, he could create a mosquito-like micro mutant insect.
The most difficult part was already complete; the rest was easy to handle.
Boom!
Su Heng turned and left the secret chamber.
The giant stone door closed slowly behind him.
Hanging on the blood-red walls of the laboratory was a huge sac, more than a man's height, containing the corpse of the Descender Huang Xuzi.
Most of his remains were intact, save for the severe damage to the upper half of his body and a permanently missing part of his head. The gray-white brain matter was thus starkly exposed before Su Heng. Despite the writhing fungal sac between them, a faint sll of blood emanating from his body was still detectable. These Descenders, who were so high and mighty in life, looked no different from ordinary humans in death.
During the gaps in his experints, Su Heng spent ti researching Huang Xuzi. According to Ban Poluo, one could extract Genetic Original Liquid from the bodies of Descenders.
The Genetic Original Liquid was touted as the pinnacle product of Biological Alchemy of the Star Sea Federation. Su Heng was naturally very interested in such things, but the intricacies involved were too nurous. Even though Su Heng had so authority in terms of flesh transformation and had the Demon Engine to aid him, his attempts to reverse-engineer the Genetic Original Liquid ultimately ended in failure.
This also made Su Heng realize that
in the field of Biological Alchemy, the Star Sea Federation and the earliest Descenders were much stronger than he was.
Su Heng was not discouraged, but rather quite excited.
Having an opponent ant there was a clear goal to strive for, which was a good thing.
Moreover, after going through the Divine Plague saga, Su Heng now harbored a great malice toward those Descenders.
He guessed that those Descenders were not likely to rest either, which was fine. If they were easily crushed underfoot, even winning in the end would be dull.
He longed for a war where the strengths were matched.
The hum of the ocean waves emanated from the Spirit Void Dao Wood; Su Heng looked up towards the outside of the laboratory.
Streams of light from the Blood Realm cascaded through the skylights above the door, and the monotonous turning of the exhaust fan stirred the barely visible dust suspended in the air.
Su Heng knew that Lilith had returned from the battlefield earlier than he expected. It seed that this mission had gone very smoothly without any unforeseen incidents.
Creak!
Su Heng pushed open the door in front of him.
The flooding light engulfed him like a tide.
...
"Father!" Lilith knelt on the ground, looking sowhat weary, "I have accomplished the task you entrusted to ."
The task Su Heng assigned to Lilith seed simple, but in practice, it was not easy to execute. On the one hand, one had to guard against sneak attacks by the Descenders, and on the other hand, with the large number of deaths, the power in the eternal heavens was further spreading. So wild Demons born on the battlefields not only possessed formidable strength but were also quite cunning. Killing them one by one to prevent future troubles was not an easy task.
Lilith was very strong and suprely talented.
But her ti since rebirth was not long, among other reasons.
When she cald down, she would easily fall into wild thoughts, while keeping busy felt quite good.
Now that the task was complete and she had returned to Su Heng's side, the burden that once seed to weigh on Lilith's face had vanished. Her fair and beautiful face was tired, but her deep black pupils sparkled, and her entire being seed like a tender sprout after the rain, reborn, brimming with vigorous Life Force.
"You've done well," Su Heng was not stingy with his praise for those who worked hard.
If at first, Su Heng accepted Lilith mostly with so utilitarian research ideas in mind, his perceptions had changed over ti. He stroked Lilith's smooth and soft long hair, then extended his hand, and the shadow of the Spirit Void Dao Wood returned to Su Heng's hand.
Logically, this shadow ford purely from Condensation of spiritual power should not have any weight.
