Chapter 1216: Chapter 623: Genetic Seed Modulation Complete

“I’m afraid it’s almost finished.” The Observer’s mechanical pupils flickered with fluorescence, slowly rotating, “About five days ago, the construction equipment around this thing has already been gradually withdrawn.”

“Currently, only a few construction personnel remain working, and it should just be the finishing touches.”

The virtual projection in his hand enlarged, and through the gaps of the giant structure, he could vaguely see some auxiliary construction equipment in operation, either jet welding beams or engraving unfinished energy circuits.

Li Ming stared closely for a while before asking again, “Have you figured out the specific use of this thing yet? I always feel like it’s not just a simple energy emitting device.”

“Not yet, no clues for now.” The Observer shook his head, “I think so too. Although this thing looks like a kind of Energy Generator, I don’t believe the energy it produces can break through the Holy Castle’s defense.”

To break the Holy Castle’s defense head-on, it definitely requires the power at the Ultimate Life Form level.

Li Ming also didn’t think that the thing in the sky could produce such level of power, but he remained cautious, musing:

“I estimate that once this thing is completed, they will act directly to avoid long delays.”

“I don’t have the authority to mobilize energy. If they really attack, I’ll have to rely on you.” The Observer reminded again.

“I understand, from now on, I’ll come over to check the situation every now and then.” Li Ming nodded.

“However, there’s a troublesome issue.” The Observer frowned, “Even if you are here and can catch them by surprise, the Holy Castle is right here, and they will keep on trying endlessly.”

Li Ming sighed helplessly, “Who made the King-making Trial so difficult?”

Without taking Diglas’s Crown, it would invariably attract actions from the Three Great Civilizations.

Especially now, the Three Great Civilizations seem to have made breakthrough progress on the corpse and, with several methods at hand, they definitely won’t stop.

However, Li Ming wasn’t too worried, as he was dispatching people to make their way here.

As long as this time is held under control, once the Star Gate is completed, his true form can arrive.

By then, he can also leverage the strength of others, whether it be the Mechanic Association or the High-level Life Form Union, the power he can mobilize would be much greater than before.

On the other hand, the Observer still had a final measure, capable of turning the tide.

Unfortunately, this Mimicry body can only operate within the Holy Castle’s range, otherwise, he would have acted immediately rather than waiting here.

After ensuring there were no issues here, Li Ming logged off.

He headed to the modulation room deep in the base, found Shepherd, and continued playing the role of assistant, modulating the Genetic Seed.

Even during the modulation process, his consciousness could freely descend upon the Holy Castle side, monitoring the situation at any time.

Thus, quietly, half a month flew by.

On this day, inside the modulation room, Shepherd’s expression was grave.

The green vertical pupils were fixed intently on the petri dish in front, in which floated the gray-white seed embryo, enveloped with his meticulously edited genetic pathways.

As the energy tendrils injected nebula-like extracts into the seed embryo.

The bluish liquid, upon contact with the seed embryo, triggered flashing patterns on its surface. This was the fusion-promoting liquid that he had carefully formulated.

It isn’t just that injecting the Genetic Seed into the body will cause it to fuse automatically; a medium is still needed.

The surface of the seed embryo began to proliferate silver veins like integrated circuits, causing the culture medium to boil into gelatin and revealing cracks on the embryo’s surface, showing a tendency to collapse.

The emergency system’s buzzing sounded, Shepherd’s expression shifted slightly, but his actions were incredibly swift, deciding within a short period that stopping was not an option.

Subsequently, a large amount of auxiliary materials continuously merged into it, stimulating the seed embryo, making it increasingly unstable.

They were already at the final adjustment phase, with other staff standing around, all focused intently, beads of cold sweat faintly appearing on their foreheads.

Until a certain moment, the seed embryo covered in fissures seemed to have reached some kind of equilibrium limit.

It suddenly entered a stable state, its surface cracks gradually healed, becoming internalized.

“Phew… Luck held out, this thing’s strength is high, enduring far longer near-collapse than other Genetic Seeds.”

Shepherd exhaled slowly, turning around to look at the researchers whose eyes were filled with hidden excitement, finally resting his gaze on Li Ming next to him: “Mission accomplished, modulation is complete.”

Upon hearing Shepherd’s final confirmation, suppressed excited shouts echoed around them.

Since taking over the modulation of this Genetic Seed, they encountered all sorts of difficulties. Shepherd had been constantly pressuring them, keeping them tense at all times.

Especially in the last period, they almost had no rest, Shepherd himself getting exhausted, not to mention the rest of them.

Now, with the successful modulation, they not only gained experience but finally could have a proper rest.

“Your skills are truly impressive.” Li Ming praised, with the Genetic Seed modulated successfully, a weight was lifted from his heart.

Upon hearing this, Shepherd’s expression turned a bit odd. He had modulated many x-level Genetic Seeds, but this time felt the oddest, as if divinely assisted.

Facing numerous difficulties, he could almost always find the most suitable solution, with a tactile sensation better than ever.

He even felt that his skills had reached a different tier during this modulation, quite strange indeed.
