CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 66: 200 YEARS OF TIME, MASTERY IN REFORM STUDIES

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it’s been over ten years.

Year 520 of the New Calendar.

The Elf Sacred Land has utterly flourished, with a vague trend towards becoming the center of the entire world.

Countless strong and talented individuals come to study at the Elf Academy.

"Elves are truly the perfect and intoxicatingly most beautiful beings. In comparison, we humans are ugly to the extreme. How wonderful it would be if we could become elves."

These are the thoughts of most people now.

As the era evolves, numerous human ministers and geniuses originate from the Elf Academy.

Year 529 of the New Calendar.

The elves formed the "Natural Elf Church," advocating the worship of nature, equality among all beings, reverence for the great deity, and the pursuit of truth with a humble attitude.

This church gradually infiltrates the human realm, even beginning to influence royal authority, faintly exhibiting traits of "Divine Right of Kings."

"The elves worship me as a deity? These audacious fellows lack a heart for divine reverence, yet possess an ambition for power consolidation in the name of divinity.... Truly deserving of modern humans who traverse through time; they speak of science, are not superstitious, not feudal, and fear no retribution or divine punishment."

In the dormitory, Zhu Zhengwei gazes at this scene from outside the world, laughs, and shakes his head, saying: "It’s merely the inevitability of history; most religions in the world are born along with politics, and religion always uses ninety-nine truths to wrap around a lie, and that lie is: all the words of my religion are true."

The whole world has undergone a bloodless world war and has completely fallen under the rule of the Elf Race. They are now the rulers of this world.

Year 531 of the New Calendar.

"Humans of this new world, pathetically weak."

The Elf Race, having utterly dominated and enslaved the human continent, grows increasingly arrogant and begins pursuing new ambitions, further investigating life modifications.

On this day, the small elves appear humanoid but are intellectually inferior.

Through countless experiments, they are surprised to discover that current biological modifications cannot shrink a human brain to the size of an ant and still maintain intelligence.

"The small elves must be revised into a new version."

The next year, through continuous research into Divine Blood, a new elf species "Hidden Blood Elf" emerged.

These members of the Elf Race possess plant cells and have been re-integrated with divine blood cells, achieving a perfect and stable balance that results in sparse plant cells while returning to human appearance.

This constitutes the fourth sub-human bloodline among... Tree-man species, Elf species, Winged small elf species, and others.

This appears to be a normal human bloodline, seemingly lacking any special features, with the sole characteristic being that its blood does not coagulate and is filled with enormous qi, resulting in an extremely high aptitude for cultivation.

"Is this the bloodline of the divine?"

"It looks utterly unremarkable."

"In all aspects, it resembles ordinary humans: short lifespan, and bleeding that doesn’t stop once it begins, leading to extremely severe complications, utterly absurd!"

"It’s hard to imagine such a species having such formidable power and becoming a deity!"

"Perhaps we are too weak, and there are concepts within that we don’t yet understand! How great is the power of the divine? Can we truly comprehend it?"

"Continue the research!"

The eminent scholars of the Elf Race continue to furrow their brows.

Year 537 of the New Calendar.

Elves discover their cultivation speed has slowed, making advancement difficult.

"We don’t have much cultivation resources, tens of thousands of elves have diluted the qi absorbed from the Immortal Herb; we have proliferated sufficiently. It’s time for us to initiate the new Second ’Human Augmentation Plan’."

Eighteen elf rulers whisper.

They are ruthless and bloody!

They start wielding the knife against their own kind, undertaking the second waste elimination plan.

In just a few short years, the elf population silently and drastically reduced, leaving only over two thousand elves!

They are the elite of the entire race, and thanks to the concentrated resources of qi, their cultivation levels began to soar, with the average realm reaching the fourth tier.

This is an extremely terrifying concept.

Know that a fourth-tier expert is sufficient to contend against a five hundred-man cold weapon army, even if all kings of each nation are currently only at the fifth tier.

"Elf Race, all citizens are divine."

Their voices are calm yet full of pride.

Year 637 of the New Calendar.

The Elf Race has been ruling over humans for over a hundred years.

Emperor Shiguang of the Hundred-Stone Country and Emperor Jing Sheng passed away decades ago, having grown old.

A new emperor ascends the throne, a "Hidden Blood Elf" indistinguishable in appearance from humans, sneaking into the human world and blending into the upper echelons, crowned by the Natural Elf Race.

"I, Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, ascend the throne."

A human king with no visual differences from humans stands atop the Hundred-Stone Country, "I shall lead humanity to ultimate glory!"

The entire human world has completely fallen into elven hands, and the whole world is managed orderly by them.

...

Year 741 of the New Calendar.

With the emergence of the Longevity Species, the scale of the world seemed to have been extended, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.

The entire Human Empire developed in an orderly manner, with generations of short-lived humans coming and going. Meanwhile, the Elf Race’s island remained a lofty, mysterious sacred place, and most of the time, they did not interfere with human development.

Moreover, they only had over two thousand people and were unable to intervene in the world.

Humans were merely servants used to gather resources and do chores for them.

At this moment, Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor was already a white-haired old man, and this "Human King" came to the Elf Race to pay tribute to the eighteen ruling Elf Elders.

"In the blink of an eye, as an emperor of the Human Race, I am also becoming old, and I am only just over a hundred years old."

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor, looking aged, gazed at the young and handsome elves before him and said, "I was contaminated by the Divine Blood, greatly diminishing the bloodline of the Tree, so my lifespan isn’t much different from humans... I made too many sacrifices."

"Hmph, back then among the young elf geniuses in the tribe, you were the most eager to acquire the transformation with the Divine Blood, and you passed the trial."

An elf sneered, "Now you’ve become mortal, what does it matter to us if you die of old age? You are too weak and failed to develop the divine bloodline, dying like an ordinary person."

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor took a deep breath, "You oldest old ones, you are now over two hundred years old, nearly three hundred. The lifespan of elves is only about three hundred, and you will also die of old age."

As these words fell, the elves present slightly changed their expressions.

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor’s eyes were cold, "Look, everyone will die of old age, those who are near death tend to go insane. What change do you say will happen in this era?"

All present turned grim, as they realized he was threatening them.

Shiguang Blood Concealment Emperor laughed heartily, "I think we’ll develop rapidly until the end, then massacre each other, and frantically conduct experiments, and the world will be destroyed by us!"

He paused, "In these years, you’ve researched small elves, and within two hundred years, you’ve achieved Qi transmutation and inherent Zhu You skills, right? With the help of the Immortal Herb, your continuous research has led to the world’s first truly perfect extraordinary species, the most perfect humanoid intelligent weapon you have developed... is it your greatest secret weapon?"

"How do you know?" Several elf elders changed color.

"Don’t assume you are the only ones with achievements. Our batch of Hidden Blood Elves was sent to the human kingdom by you back then, and we were also conducting experiments there... my Divine Blood experiment has been promising!" He sneered.

All the elf elders showed a trace of seriousness, "Are you provoking us!"

When a civilization rules the world without any external threats, this civilization might erupt into internal chaos due to resource allocation; this is an inevitable part of history.

...

...

Human Kingdom.

Bronze Kingdom, a mountain city, with blue stone floors, tall buildings, and a distant brass clock tower reflecting the ancient charm of this medieval civilization before him.

"Two hundred years in the Dream World, truly an interesting civilization."

At this moment, in a small building, Zhu Zhengwei was tinkering with bottles and jars in a laboratory.

"Are they finally going to fight?" He glanced outside but quickly ignored it.

Whether they fight or not, what does it have to do with him?

They were responsible for developing civilization and evolving the world sand table, while he was responsible for taking the fruits of civilization.

They were busy with their affairs, and he was busy with his own.

Two hundred years is like more than twenty days, plus the previous period, now the holiday is over, and he must attend classes again in the reality as the second half of his freshman year begins.

Even so, Zhu Zhengwei was still patiently being an ordinary and attentive student enjoying this youthful period of college.

However, while attending classes outside, he patiently waited for two hundred years, and finally the technology began to mature, his efforts weren’t in vain.

"The development of biological engineering in this Dream World has exploded over these two hundred years!"

"That is to say, the biological genetic engineering here is roughly ahead of Earth’s level by two hundred years!"

Thinking about it, there’s always a strange feeling; this Dream Net World is truly frightening, even if humanity takes five thousand years, it can be achieved in just over a year here.

"Although they’ve encountered bottlenecks and limits, their genetic engineering is already terrifyingly advanced, with technology for targeted engineering of Earth’s biological DNA double helix structure being very mature." In the laboratory, Zhu Zhengwei continued to study their experimental results, reading a book titled carefully.

"If there were outer space, I wouldn’t doubt that with their skewed technology tree, they could even create ultimate creatures capable of surviving in space and venturing into the cosmos."

He had been reading this book for over ten years, and now he finally reached the level of their advanced scholars.

"It’s just too interesting!!"

Zhu Zhengwei’s corners of his mouth raised as he exited the Dream Four-dimensional World and opened his eyes in the dormitory, "Having only this genetic engineering in the dream isn’t ultimately appealing. Maybe I should conduct some interesting experiments in reality too."

"For instance, reality’s... little elf."

In the dormitory, he took out a small glass vial containing a quietly inside. His mouth curled into a smile, "Previously, I never let others’ dreams feedback into their real bodies."

"What if I proactively open that dream gate and let a certain entity feedback into reality?"

"For example, let Zeng Ciwen’s Root Dream feedback into reality! Would his genetic sequence also change, rearrange, and transform into a real-world elf?"

"At that time, the world will stir up terrifying waves... Bloodline regressed? Human mutation? Various speculations will cause world changes." He smiled oddly.

Of course, Zhu Zhengwei wouldn’t really do that, because the consequences, successful or not, would shock the entire Earth.

Conducting experiments on living humans ultimately wasn’t good.

Thus, Zhu Zhengwei caught a dragonfly and calmly said:

"Can I pull this dragonfly into the dream, and then genetically modify it in the Four-dimensional World, turn it into an elf... and then allow this dream to feedback into the three-dimensional reality body of the dragonfly, entering reality?"

This was an extremely bold idea.

If successful, the feedback on the dragonfly’s body could reach reality and become a little elf, then it would be the first extraordinary creature in reality!
