CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 77: OUTRAGEOUS STARTING ACCOUNT RACE

Year 779 of the New Calendar.

All Immortal Herbs were consumed, only to regrow everywhere, plunging the world into chaos, with various heroes rising up.

All kinds of Beastmen and Elves began to attempt their ultimate rise, splitting territories, ushering in a new era of ten thousand races vying for supremacy, with the Human Race and Elves no longer reigning supreme.

Year 780 of the New Calendar.

With continuous attempts, Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, also awakened his Divine Blood Power, and he could see Destiny, though only the vague Fate of the coming ten minutes.

This was the authority he gained through the Divine Blood.

He led his army to quell local wars and seize Immortal Herbs from independent forces.

With the authority to foresee the future, he won every battle, unstoppable!

However, soon, most forces had long gone into hiding, difficult to eliminate, leading to the inevitable birth of numerous new nations, large and small, fragmenting the world.

Year 783 of the New Calendar.

"Only a little more than ten years of life left."

"But, collecting three hundred Immortal Herbs again is not that easy..."

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, realized that the era had changed; it was not the simple times of the past. The Immortal Herbs are too scattered, and collecting even a tenth of the thirty-three hundred is too difficult.

Secondly, even if he found those hidden forces and intercepted the Immortal Herbs, those people would consume them before dying.

Everyone knew his death was near, preferring death over letting this "Tyrant" live on.

"Ridiculous and pathetic."

With a complicated expression, he clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the high Divine Hall, letting out a bitter laugh.

"All forces have hidden away the Immortal Herbs, secretly strengthening themselves, waiting for my demise so they can establish their own kingdoms... No one wants my immortality. They all wish for my death!"

"I am unwilling!"

"However, all of this has been within my expectations. Using Immortal Herbs to extend life is only the first step to changing Destiny, and if Immortal Herbs cannot grant immortality, can I not seek other ways to achieve it?"

In these years, he continued his research on genetic science.

Through continuous study of Divine Blood, and using his ability to foresee the next ten minutes, he conducted genetic experiments.

This foresight ability let him see success or failure ten minutes ahead, like having a supercomputer to assist in calculating the future experimental results.

As a result, his technology in this area advanced by leaps and bounds!

One thought could reveal the outcome, saving research time by hundreds to thousands of times.

This day.

"Divine Blood, I found a new possibility, discovered a new form of Qi, getting closer, closer!" That day, he exclaimed, "I finally succeeded! A new race born of Divine Blood! The mere Elves, in the eyes of this race, are nothing but a weak inferior race, not worth mentioning."

Zhu Zhengwei watched this scene from the shadows, knowing that the result he awaited was finally arriving.

The soil of civilization had finally nurtured a radiant flower for me.

Perhaps, my second entry into the world, my initial read-save point, was not far off.

Year 787 of the New Calendar.

At the same time, he issued an order to the world:

"Hunt down and capture the remnants of the Elf Elders!"

After years of national searches and crusades, they defeated them one by one, capturing Elf Elders. After all, they had congregated in the Fairy Forest, an unbeatable group of monsters, but after that internal battle, they each hid, making individual destruction not too difficult.

"Vile beasts!"

"Vile beasts! How dare they bring us to utter extinction."

"This Human Emperor, in essence, is an Elf, an infiltrator we planted!"

Countless Elf Elders shouted, but no one paid them any heed. How could their king be an infiltrator and still chase you Elves into such a plight? Clearly, he is authentically human.

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, approached.

Seeing him, the Elf Elders hurriedly begged for mercy, "Spare us, it was Alina who saw her demise and ordered the attack against you, it has nothing to do with us."

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, looked at them longingly, "I can no longer find new Immortal Herbs, but you have divided 2400 stocks of Immortal Herbs, consumed the Elixir of Immortality, and are still yet to fully digest it. Your bodies contain immense Immortal Herb vitality. To me, you are living Elixirs of Immortality."

The Elf Elders stood stunned, revealing their fear.

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, laughed completely, "When I researched that race... I finally understood, the glimpse of future Destiny I saw, the scene of death, was about—the completion of the ’Blood and Flesh Rebirth’ ritual. Indeed, I died, but I was also reborn."

Year 791 of the New Calendar.

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, aged and decrepit, yet embraced his final rebirth.

Rustling.

Numerous little Elven assistants fluttered about.

In a hidden and luxurious hall, a tremendously bizarre and frighteningly evil ritual took place.

Shiguang, the Blood Concealment Emperor, lay flat on the dining table, and surrounding him were those seven Elf Elders who had consumed the Elixir of Immortality.

They were already expressionless, as if they were mentally controlled. Their bodies had become eerily bloated, like overweight people suffering from excessive nutrition, picking up knives and forks, and were eating the Blood Concealment Emperor Shiguang lying on the dining table.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The dinner knife cut through flesh, each of the Elf Elders eating numbly yet elegantly.

What was even more bizarre was that beneath the dining table, each Elf Elder’s navel was connected to an umbilical cord, seven of which converged into a pulsating ball of flesh and blood under the table.

It was a placenta.

The seven Elf Elders were all pregnant.

Pregnant with a shared child.

At this moment, they were like ordinary mothers connected to umbilical cords that provided nutrients to the child, but their child was not inside them; it was outside, connected by the cord.

Thump thump thump.

Faintly visible, beneath the dining table, the seven umbilical cords connected to the ball of flesh were pulsating, nurturing an infant.

This was a terrifying genetic biological experiment, beyond the realm of modern human understanding.

They were like a flesh and blood conduit, taking the consumed Blood Concealment Emperor Shiguang above and re-gestating it into the mass of flesh below.

Thump!

Thump thump!

The heart was beating.

As the flesh and blood of the few longevity guests on the dining table withered and turned into pieces of deadwood, the baby was finally born.

The child came into this world, born sacred, spat words articulate, laughed heartily, "Finally completed this unprecedented species, which will be the true eternal kind in this world, surpassing previous Elves!"

"The Qi of Witch’s cultivation system resides in the brain because the Sea of Souls is in the brain, and the soul feeds on Qi, which can only reside in the brain."

"Countless Saints and mighty ones have tried to channel Qi down from the brain, but failed.... so, can we reverse our thinking? If the brain is placed in the abdomen, would the natural Sea of Qi exist in the abdomen then?"

"I have concentrated the entire brain stem and other core organizations of my brain — six layers — in the abdomen, while the neurons of the brain’s four layers are distributed throughout the limbs, forming a humanoid brain with long arms and legs!"

"The brain in the lower abdomen, responsible for the soul that breathes Qi in the belly, makes it very convenient for Qi to circulate throughout the body with the blood!"

"I am truly a genius!"

He laughed heartily, "Moreover, my brain is empty, just a setup, a perfect way to mislead the enemy!"

"Then, what should the six layers of core brain in the abdomen be called?" He silently sensed a simplified brain disc the size of a fist in his lower abdomen, "Hmm, it can store Qi... let’s call it Dantian."

"Then, what should the four layers of brain neurons extending from the abdomen’s core to the limbs be called?" He silently thought again, "Hmm, these brain neurons with a reticulate distribution are the channels of Qi.... let’s call them meridians."

"???"

Listening to this guy mumbling to himself, Zhu Zhengwei was shocked!

With all my expectations, you used my blood to create such an eccentric species?

Remove your own head and stuff it into your abdomen?

Turn yourself into a humanoid brain with long arms and legs?

"Worthy of a mad scientist, your imagination is indeed vast." Zhu Zhengwei propped his chin, somewhat doubting life, "A running head with long arms and legs, is this even a normal head? This is more like you’re Xingtian!"

But there’s no denying that this mad scientist of genetic engineering devised a terrifying idea. In this way, Qi truly seems to circulate in the body...

That "Dantian" following the blood circulation throughout the body, isn’t it just perfect...

However, Zhu Zhengwei was even more shocked because this person’s line of thinking was still so not simple!

"This race, the weakness is not in the brain, even the brain is empty, I am a new headless variety of Sub-human, I can completely swap my brain position with someone else, give a powerful brain Ancestral Witch skull, to serve as my brain."

"In this way, we are two people sharing one body, with a sturdy brain, capable of casting magic skills, and a sturdy body, capable of casting magic skills.... incomparably perfect." He laughed heartily, "Dual-cylinder drive!"

And for this, he had long been prepared.

He strode over to the cross lock of the previous Human Emperor and said, "You now know, I am a true Human Emperor, we are on the same side, fighting for humanity... I plan to make you my head, let’s merge."

"We are, in this world, living beings with the same blood, our union is destiny."

Soon, he cut off his head, this headless body boldly and confidently began to graft the prepared head transplantation technique, attaching the other’s head.

The two became one.

Zhu Zhengwei was dumbfounded watching.

He thought that the head transplant he saw last time by a certain big octopus was shocking enough, but he didn’t expect that times are indeed advancing, and there are even more outrageous ones!

"Is this what you let me relive from the beginning?"

Zhu Zhengwei was dumbfounded, imagining the picture, if he became like this, it was so beautiful that he dared not look.

Your Excellency’s genetic engineering technology is indeed impressive, the species made with my bloodline are strong, but Your Excellency’s taste, I simply can’t agree with.

At this time, the successful Blood Concealment Emperor Shiguang laughed heartily and spoke to his own head, "Don’t you see, I’ve changed destiny, survived the doomed calamity upon glimpsing a corner of fate, I have succeeded."
