Chapter 735 One Year Later
Fifty years later.
In the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, within the specially crafted forging chamber of the Main Laboratory.
The entire forging room was enveloped by a heat-insulating magic array, and the walls were inlaid with a special kind of fire-patterned stone.
This ore maintains structural stability even at extremely high temperatures and reflects heat evenly back into the room, making the entire forging chamber resemble a furnace that has been forcibly locked up, with even the air being baked into a slight distortion.
In the center of the forging room, a fireball the size of a fist floated, its color so intense it resembled almost solidified blood red. It was a wisp of the True Sun Fire that Jemin had refined fifty years ago.
The light and heat emitted by the fireball were tightly confined by the magic array to a spherical space with a diameter of less than three meters. Even so, the temperature within those three meters was still ridiculously high, and even the space itself was burned with faint creases.
Jemin sat cross-legged in front of the fireball, less than a meter away.
He revealed his true form, allowing the true fire of the sun to continuously lick his arms, chest, and back.
Each wisp of fire that lands on the skin leaves a shallow scorch mark.
However, the scorch marks were quickly restored by the self-healing ability of the body tempering method. The new skin was more delicate than before, and the dark golden luster was more restrained and deep.
Jemin is using the true fire of the sun to forge his body, treating the true fire of the sun as a forging furnace and himself as the material being forged.
There is a method in the Great Dao Library that uses the true fire of the sun to forge the body. The principle is not complicated: use the true fire of the sun as a furnace and yourself as a vessel, repeatedly burn and regenerate, so that the body can continuously undergo adaptive evolution in a high-temperature environment.
As the last wisp of heat was absorbed by his skin, the ball of true solar fire in front of him shrank to the size of a fingernail, and its color changed from blood red to a nearly transparent pale red.
Jemin opened his eyes, slowly got up, and stretched his shoulders:
"The results are much better than I expected. It seems that allocating extra resources to build this training room was the right decision..."
Under normal circumstances, Jemin wouldn't dare to be so careless as to let himself come into contact with the True Fire of the Sun, after all, the True Fire of the Sun is considered to be among the top-tier flames in the cultivation world.
That thing is inherently immortal. Given his current physical strength and resistance, if he comes into contact with it without any protection, he will most likely suffer a terrible fate.
The heavy metal door of the training room slid open automatically as he approached, letting in a rush of cold air that stirred up a thin layer of white vapor on his still-warm skin.
He glanced down at his arm.
Under the tempering of the true fire of the sun, the body-forging method has completed another self-renewal.
Moreover, thanks to his exclusive cultivation method utilizing the true fire of the sun, he not only has higher resistance to various things, but also a more stable energy absorption rate.
As soon as he stepped out of the training room, a black giant priest was already waiting in the corridor. Jemin recognized him as one of the group in charge of administrative affairs.
The other person's chest opened slightly, and a deep vibration sound immediately followed.
"Master, the list of researchers from the Tentacle Tree Civilization who have passed the screening for this period has been compiled and needs your review."
"Oh, not bad, you're pretty quick."
Jemin took the list from the other party and quickly scanned it on the screen.
The list is very long.
In recent years, the number of research talents emerging from the Tentacle Tree Civilization has been increasing.
Their theoretical analysis skills and data processing talents complemented the research team of the Black Giant Priests perfectly.
Fifty years is not a long time for a civilization.
However, after the Tentacle Tree Civilization was incorporated into the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, its development speed was much faster than when it developed independently.
The reverse engineering of the Divine Armament has been completed thanks to the joint efforts of the Black Giant Priest and the Tentacle Tree Researcher.
With the assistance of the Black Giant Priests, the Tentacle Tree Civilization has reintegrated the various technologies it learned from the Divine Armaments into its own technology tree.
The Tentacle Tree Civilization of today is no longer the level six technological civilization that couldn't even figure out how to copy the divine weaponry. Although its overall rating remains level six, it has already reached the ceiling of level six civilizations in the areas of energy application and shield technology. Jemin's gaze paused on the list for a moment.
He saw a name that looked somewhat familiar... or rather, a surname that was rather familiar to him.
After briefly reviewing the details of this tentacle tree, it was confirmed that the other party was indeed a descendant of the former governor of the planet where the tentacle tree was located.
"Come to think of it, Luli has been gone for decades..." Jemin said with a touch of emotion.
"The quality of the researchers selected this time is higher than that of the previous batch," the Black Giant Priest added as he reviewed the list. "After completing the reverse analysis of the Divine Armaments, the Tentacle Tree Civilization has undergone a comprehensive update of its basic education curriculum. The knowledge structure of the new generation of Tentacle Trees is better aligned with our existing research system than the older generation."
"Not bad." Jemin handed the list back to the other party and casually opened a portal to the main laboratory in the void. "Continue to arrange for them to enter the God's Armament follow-up research project group, following the same procedure as the previous batch."
The black giant priest bowed to accept the order, but before he could even raise his head, Jemin had already stepped into the portal.
The next instant, space distorted slightly, and Jemin returned to the main laboratory.
The workpiece is laid out in rows of neatly arranged crystal slices, each containing a complete three-dimensional structure of a dragon-human bloodline rune.
The runes slowly rotated in the pale golden light, with dense experimental data marked beside them.
The Five Aggregates Transformation Rainbow Mirror hovers above the work area, automatically performing cross-comparison.
Before starting his work, Jieming sat down and casually touched the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, receiving the information it had processed during this period.
The research on optimizing the Dragonkin bloodline runes has been ongoing for fifty years.
From the initial passive absorption of the original rune structure from Shuoyuan to the current version after multiple iterations, the entire process wasn't fast. It wasn't because of the high difficulty, but because the sample size of the dragon-human race within the Infernal Sulfur Plane was currently too small, lacking sufficient verification. After thinking for a moment, Jemin issued an order through the incense-burning shrine, and soon footsteps could be heard outside the laboratory door.
Another black giant priest walked in.
This one was slightly shorter than the previous one, but the dark gold patterns flowing on its body were more dense.
He bowed to Jemin: "Master, the quarterly report of the Dragonkin race has been updated."
"How many Dragonmen are there now?" Jemin asked without looking up.
"The number of registered individuals has exceeded one thousand." The Black Giant Priest flipped open the data panel in his hand. "More than half of them are from the new generation. After you implanted the first batch of optimized runes thirty years ago, the average bloodline concentration of the new generation has increased by about twelve percent compared to the previous generation. Scale durability, dragon breath stability, and flight endurance have all significantly improved."
"Currently, the education and medical systems in the Dragonkin resettlement area have been fully integrated into the artificial human administrative network, and all eligible Dragonkin have been guaranteed enrollment," he continued. "In addition, a small number of new-generation Dragonkin have shown a bloodline concentration exceeding that of the previous generation. Their scales have begun to show a dark golden luster."
Jemin tapped the experiment lightly twice with his fingers.
A thousand dragon people is not a small number for the dragon people race.
However, when viewed from the perspective of civilization, it is still a very small matter.
However, dragon people have extremely long lifespans, and as long as they can reproduce stably, it is only a matter of time before their numbers increase.
What truly interests him is the increased concentration of bloodline in the new generation.
The knowledge of dragon bloodline runes that he initially obtained from Shuoyuan has, after years of organization and optimization, already shown initial results in the dragon people.
Once the number of dragon people increases, perhaps we can begin the next phase of research.
The bloodline of the Dragon People still contains the bloodline of Shuoyuan.
However, after countless generations of dilution, the concentration is already very low.
But the essence of those bloodline runes is to explain the operating rules of the dragon bloodline.
If relatively pure true dragon bloodline could be extracted from a sufficient number of dragonkin bloodline samples using bloodline runes, its applications would be numerous. Judging from the power exhibited by that dragon, this true dragon bloodline has extremely high potential in the field of biological modification.
Whether used to create new combat units, as a vehicle for researching special laws, or simply traded as a rare bloodline, its value is astonishingly high.
