Chapter 16 The Gods' Blood

"Friends, we have now learned that the battle that appeared in the sky above Yingtian Prefecture, Shenzhou, is not a false rumor. Whether it is the continuous change in weather conditions or the hundreds of thousands of direct eyewitnesses, all indicate that this is a real change that exceeds our knowledge..."

"The Longxiang fighter squadron took off and achieved great results, which also proves that everything is still under control."

"So, everyone, don't panic."

…

"In my opinion, this is the spiritual energy recovery."

"Everyone, rummage through those old antiques and books at home. Maybe our ancestors left us something, right? Look, little brother, I have a few copies of the Supreme Qi Cultivation Manual here. Judging by your kind face..."

…

"Families, here are some benefits for you! Authentic Wudang Dan Sword Manual, now not 998, not 998, only nine yuan nine, free shipping! Only nine yuan nine! Three thousand copies in stock, consider it a benefit for the families!"

In the research institute, a man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses closed the computer in his hand. Just like the reaction when the Huai River changed its course, or rather, these two things were linked together, creating an even greater public opinion.

Three full days had passed since the events in Jiangnan Province.

During these three days, similar videos and comments continued to spread online.

It was just that the people filming almost didn't have the means to shoot across the stratosphere.

The best-quality videos could only vaguely see that there were indeed two figures rising into the air. Most were just a dragon and tiger fighting. If there weren't so many eyewitnesses, some people would believe it was CG animation. Now, the online comments, trending topics, and videos were all discussing this matter, analyzing the reasons behind it, and arguing fiercely.

Especially the Longxiang squadron taking off clearly indicated that Shenzhou knew about this.

However, Su Yuandong didn't care about these things.

Everything under control?

It was far from being able to be said like that now; it was far from enough.

He turned around. In the research institute, the blood from those two powerhouses was ready to be studied. However, Su Yuandong had repeatedly applied to the Special Operations Team and the Daoist sect, requesting the identity of the human powerhouse and their blood cells and bone marrow cells for research, but they were all rejected.

"A bunch of old fogies."

Su Yuandong frowned: "Why are they so selfish?"

"This is an opportunity for the evolution of all mankind. Why are they unwilling to cooperate? Only a little insignificant price needs to be paid to exchange for huge technological advancements. Why can't they figure it out? With such an opportunity, they should fully cooperate with us."

He once again submitted a written request to the Tianshi Mansion, strictly demanding the Daoist sect's cooperation.

And pointed out that this was a selfishness that violated the future of mankind.

Then, he continued to bury himself in trying to conduct research and analysis. But before long, the phone rang. Su Yuandong hung up several times, but the phone kept ringing. Only then did Su Yuandong answer the phone impatiently and said, "Hello? Didn't I say not to call when I'm researching?"

"Speak, what is it?"

After a long silence, a female voice came from the other side:

"Dr. Su, you have a guest."

"Guest? I'm not seeing anyone."

Su Yuandong refused directly. His voice paused, and he seemed to have thought of something. His tone softened slightly, and he asked, "Is it someone from the Special Operations Team?"

"…Yes."

Finally!

After Su Yuandong hung up the phone, he hurriedly told the other researchers to prepare for the next analysis and research. He quickly walked out, thinking about how to exert pressure and how to get the people from the Special Operations Team to open their mouths. He had rehearsed it many times in his mind and was confident.

He pushed open the door of the reception room. Before he even entered, his gaze swept over, and he calmly said:

"Where are the people from the Special Operations Team?"

The staff member receiving the guests looked a little pale and couldn't speak, only gesturing with their eyes.

Su Yuandong was stunned.

A hand gently patted his shoulder, and an old voice said casually:

"Aren't they right here?"

"Young man, short in stature, high in vision. This old Daoist is so big, and you didn't even see him."

??!

The hairs on Su Yuandong's back stood on end. He turned his head and saw an old Daoist in a gray Daoist robe with white hair. Seeing his gentle and peaceful expression, Su Yuandong's pupils constricted, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Only then did he murmur:

"Celestial Master..."

Zhang Ruosu's tone was gentle, and he asked directly:

"I heard you want the blood of that human expert?"

"No... I just, just applied, yes, just applied."

"Then you can't have it."

"Of, of course, no problem."

…………………

A moment later, Zhang Ruosu left the research institute.

His grand-disciple, Lan Qingsheng, accompanied him, thinking about Su Yuandong's appearance just now, and muttered:

"Master Ancestor, things are settled so easily with your intervention. If I had known that this Su Yuandong was so easy to deal with, you wouldn't have had to risk coming down the mountain. Your disciples would have handled it."

Zhang Ruosu raised his eyebrows:

"Dream on."

The young Daoist laughed dryly and scratched his head.

Zhang Ruosu said, "Remember, protect all the information of the one who took action. Don't let anyone know. Those who know can't spread it."

"Yes."

Zhang Ruosu turned his head, looked at the research institute, restrained his energy, and tapped the void with his fingers.

Rumble!

A thunderclap suddenly exploded on the ground, and then directly struck the research institute. There were no casualties, but the instantaneous current caused the entire research institute to lose power. In particular, the equipment that was currently studying the blood of the two powerhouses was simply and neatly transformed into a scorched mess, sparking.

Zhang Ruosu stretched and said:

"Let's go. Go back to the mountain and watch, lest there be trouble. Longhu Mountain is suppressing the entrance to the human world. Now the spiritual energy is too strong, lest those things climb out of the place where they were exiled. Tell your master and the others to take this opportunity to popularize the latest version of the Qi cultivation mantra, etc."

"If it really doesn't work, hold a competition or something, face the public, and fight with all your might, so that everyone recognizes that there is such a thing."

Lan Qingsheng was shocked: "What, what if someone gets hurt?"

Zhang Ruosu glared at him and said, "Who told you to hit people?"

"For this kind of thing, you definitely have to fight in the most flashy and beautiful way possible. The purpose is to attract people to actively cultivate. What, do you still want to spread violent factors?"

"Use everything like flowing fire, flying flames, and wind walls. It has to be good-looking, it has to be..."

The old Daoist pondered for a moment and succinctly summarized:

"It has to be cool!"

The young Daoist was dumbfounded.

………………

Su Yuandong looked at the equipment in front of him that was starting to spark, his face unsightly.

He knew that the equipment, along with the data inside, and the blood samples had all been destroyed.

The things he had painstakingly coveted had directly turned to ashes.

But he didn't lose heart because of this. He had secretly left a portion of the sample and put this last sample into the spare equipment. The research proceeded smoothly. There was specialized experimental equipment that could automatically analyze the composition of the powerhouse's blood.

What exactly was in the blood of a powerhouse who could fight in the sky?

Was it the same components as humans?

Or were there parts that were completely different from humans? Were those things the secret to power? If his blood was filled with those things, would he also be able to master the power to fight in the sky?

After wanton fantasies and difficult waiting, they obtained the data.

Su Yuandong couldn't help but say, "Is it filled with energy?"

The researcher looked at the final data, was silent for a moment, and stammered, "You could say that."

"After all, sugar can indeed be broken down into energy."

As he said this, Su Yuandong had already snatched the data sheet and saw the data on it.

The blood of the gods, flowing with all...

Sugar??

His expression slowly solidified.

……………………

"Burp..."

Shui Gui (Water Ghost) lay sprawled on the sofa, letting out a full burp.

Next to him were the emptied bottles of happy water (cola).

After experiencing the water god's conferment, both he and the soldier spirit had changed. They had both obtained a certain level of water control divine ability. However, the soldier spirit honed spells and divine abilities, while the water ghost relied on this method to begin studying various variations of happy water. After all, that thing could also be considered water.

Wasn't it natural for a water god's protector to control water?

The outside world was noisy and lively, but the museum was desolate and empty.

Wei Yuan sat behind the wooden table he usually sat at, one hand supporting his chin, and one hand spread out. A phantom seal slowly rotated, with a square base, and a vivid tiger slowly rotated on top. This was the origin stripped from the Mountain Lord, the foundation of a god.

But this thing was meaningless to Wei Yuan.

Unless he intended to give up his human identity and completely walk the path of a god.

If he didn't do this, he would not be able to grasp this seal representing divinity.

However, perhaps he could learn from the First Emperor, use a piece of precious jade to contain and imprison the Mountain Lord's divinity, and carve a seal. Although some procedures were required when using it and it couldn't be used at will, it could also be considered using divine power with a human body.

Coincidentally, he had personally seen that seal in his memory.

The Mountain Wind God's divine position...

Wei Yuan sighed and put away the phantom jade seal. Now this thing was just a show. This action couldn't help but make his heart ache slightly. He frowned. It had been three days since he returned. The penetrating tearing wound in his heart had been stabilized by the Undying Flower, but it would still take time to fully heal.

And the Undying Flower now seemed to have made its home in his heart.

Thinking about it, if his brow had been pierced, he probably wouldn't have received this kind of treatment.

Wei Yuan couldn't help but mock himself in his heart. The Undying Flower had its limits. It would have been better to refine it into a pill back then. However, there were also benefits. At least in the past few days, someone had been taking care of his meals. Just as he was thinking about this, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone and saw the name of the caller.

It was the old Daoist from Longhu Mountain who was responsible for Quanshi.

Wei Yuan was slightly surprised. After a few pleasantries, the Daoist on the other side said:

"Curator Wei, didn't you ask me to help you find the antiques from the end of the Qin Dynasty?"

Wei Yuan's eyes lit up. He had indeed asked this Daoist to help him before and said:

"Did you find it?"

"Yes, but, it's not from the end of the Qin Dynasty or the beginning of the Han Dynasty..."

The old Daoist replied:

"It should be a war sword from the time of Qin Wang Zheng."
