"Alright, I'm coming." Xiang Yu said, opening a door beside him. He stepped inside and turned to Daisy Yu, asking, "Are you coming with me?"
Daisy's mouth formed an "O" shape, but she saw Xiang Yu had already turned back and continued walking inside. "Yu Shen, wait a minute, I'll go!"
Old Fang blinked, staring blankly at the empty room. "Where are they?! This doesn't make sense!"
The green space stretched as far as the eye could see; Daisy had never experienced such a wondrous feeling before. "Where is Feather God?"
"My alternate dimension, don't resist, I'll take you away." As Xiang Yu spoke, he used his domineering energy to bind Daisy Yu and teleported away.
"What exactly is going on?" Old Fang felt inexplicably panicked in the isolation room. It wasn't that the other person had disappeared, but the problem was that they had said "I'm here" before disappearing.
“Since Elder Fang wants to see me in his true form, and it’s inconvenient for him to go out, then I’ve come over. Oh, so Elder Fang is also a cultivator, and he’s about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.” Xiang Yu walked out of the green gate, followed by Daisy Yu.
Old Fang slowly turned around. "Haha, my cultivation is nothing to worry about, nothing at all. I just want to live a few more years. Yu Shen's supernatural powers are vast, I admire him greatly. Si Yu girl, you don't need to worry. If Yu Shen wanted to harm me, he would have come long ago. He wouldn't need you to lead the way."
"What Elder Fang said is true. Even I don't know where your safe house is, but Yu Shen found it in no time." Daisy Yu had also heard some stories about sages encountering immortals, but it seemed that none of the immortals were as powerful as this.
Xiang Yu raised his hand and said, "Whether I am hostile to you or not depends on whether Long San is lying. If you do something heinous to obtain Yuan Energy, no one can save you. Please, take me to see the mysterious Yuan Energy manufacturing factory."
Daisy wanted to say more, but then she thought that she and Xiang Yu didn't seem to have much of a relationship. In fact, Xiang Yu had never even glanced at her. If he really wanted to take action, he probably wouldn't show her any leniency.
“Elder Fang, come with me. This alternate dimension is incredibly mysterious. If a scientist like you doesn’t experience it firsthand, you’ll definitely regret it later. Guan Yunfei’s reincarnation should be starting soon, so let’s go to the reincarnation area first,” Daisy suggested.
"Oh, okay, okay." Old Fang wiped his sweat. From this moment on, his life was in their hands, and he probably wouldn't even have a chance to be reincarnated.
Then, Xiang Yu teleported the two of them to the reincarnation area in an instant.
Old Fang was quickly drawn to the scenery in the alternate dimension. He could see everything outside, but he couldn't touch it. The alternate dimension was an independent space, only it overlapped with the outside world.
"Feather God, this is the Reincarnation Zone, also called the Reincarnation Chamber. It can isolate the soul. Clones are also cultivated here because clones created outside will be invaded by other souls, which would render them useless."
Uh, you understand what cloning means, right, Yu Shen? It's using cells from one person to create an identical copy of that person. It's quite a great invention.
Once the body has matured, the reincarnation process can begin. The process is simple: just guide the soul of the person to be reincarnated into the cloned body container.
"We still have some time. Let me tell Yu Shen a bit more about soul technology, and please give me your feedback so we can improve," Old Fang said cautiously.
"Sure." Xiang Yu was eager to learn more.
"The application of Soul Technology is not limited to primal energy. It is also widely used in the medical field. For example, if a patient has kidney disease and needs a kidney transplant, a clone can be quickly cultured using the patient's cells and then transplanted into the patient."
If a patient only needs a kidney transplant, kidney growth can be accelerated during the embryonic stage, and the final cloned product will be a single kidney or a pair of kidneys.
In fact, cloning technology has existed for a long time, but it has not been widely used because the translocation chamber was not invented before. Although cloned humans can provide organs for patients, they themselves have souls and lives.
This is tantamount to killing a person to save a patient, which violates basic ethics and morality. Therefore, all countries prohibit human cloning, regardless of the purpose.
Since the invention of the reincarnation chamber that can isolate the soul, the underworld can no longer sense the existence of cloned bodies. Souls cannot enter them, and clones have no souls, so they cannot be called human; they are probably similar to plants.
This way, it can be used in the medical field. Not to mention kidney transplants, even an entire body transplant is not out of the question. Especially for those disabled people, who wouldn't want a healthy body?" After saying these words, Old Fang felt much more relaxed.
Xiang Yu nodded slowly. This old man Fang was really eloquent when he talked about professional knowledge. Fortunately, Hao Jiu explained things from time to time, otherwise it would have been difficult for Xiang Yu to understand.
"Look, Feather God, Guan Yunfei's new body is ready and he can be reincarnated soon." Daisy Yu had witnessed this miracle more than once, and she herself had changed bodies several times.
"Does he still have the strength of the Xuan Realm after reincarnation?" Xiang Yu asked doubtfully, because he felt that this new body had no killing intent at all. Does that mean that Guan Yunfei has to start cultivating the domineering aura from scratch?
"Mysterious Realm Domineering Aura?" Daisy Yu heard this term for the first time, but after a moment's thought, she understood that this must be the gods' classification of the realm of domineering aura. "Is the Feather God talking about the late stage of domineering aura? We divide the realm of domineering aura into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak."
In the early stages, physical abilities are significantly improved; in the mid-stage, one becomes invulnerable to blades and spears; in the late stage, one can unleash a domineering aura to injure enemies from a distance; at the peak, one can condense weapons into physical form. In our battle, I used this domineering aura to extend the length of my dagger.
"Yu Shen's guess is correct. Guan Yunfei won't even have the strength of the early stage of the Overlord realm after his reincarnation, but his memories and comprehension will remain. We can quickly improve his strength through another application of soul technology. He should be able to recover to the late stage of the Overlord realm in about a week, which is what Yu Shen called the Profound Realm."
Xiang Yu suddenly realized that this was the reason why powerful and domineering individuals were so prevalent in this world!
Perhaps the opportunity for my breakthrough lies within this!
Chapter 542 Shortcut
Sizzle...
The hatch opened, and Guan Yunfei walked out, looking somewhat bewildered.
Because he died from a meta-weapon, his soul suffered some trauma, resulting in some memory loss.
At this moment, an eight-wheeled unmanned vehicle drove up. "Comrade Guan Yunfei, congratulations on your successful reincarnation. I will now take you to the rest room."
"Reincarnation successful? Oh right, I was blown up by Long San. Fortunately, my sacrifice wasn't in vain. Thank you for your hard work, Hong Hong." Guan Yunfei lay down in the car with peace of mind. Since he had come to Cangquan Base to reincarnate, it meant that Long San and his group had ultimately won the battle there.
"You're welcome." The car drove smoothly into the nearby lounge, where a doctor came over, gave Guan Yunfei a quick check-up, administered an IV drip, and then left.
Guan Yunfei sat up from the car, casually threw a few punches, and his expression instantly turned ugly. "Honghong, take me to the Yuan Energy Training Room. I want to recover my strength as soon as possible."
"Okay." The car replied and carried Guan Yunfei to another area of the base.
In the alternate dimension, Xiang Yu, along with Si Yu and Old Fang, slowly followed behind the cart and soon arrived at a spacious hall. Inside, there were many strange beds, or rather, coffins, placed side by side, because Guan Yunfei had covered one of them with a lid after lying down.
"Feather God, this is the Yuan Energy Training Machine, specially developed by the First Sage for cultivating Overlord Qi. The Overlord Qi cultivation method has been passed down since ancient times, but the cultivation process requires endless battles and killings. However, there are not so many battles to fight in modern times, which makes the cultivation of Overlord Qi slow down."
To address this problem, the Energy Training Machine was developed. Once inside, a person immediately enters a coma, and simultaneously, the Energy Machine implants incredibly realistic dreams into the user's brain according to a pre-programmed sequence.
Of course, this dream is definitely related to battle and killing. You see, the numbers displayed on the instrument are Guan Yunfei's current kill count, with enemies increasing in strength, until he is killed in the dream and the training stops.
The characters that appear at the beginning of the dream will automatically be filled in by the brain as enemies from the user's memory or imagination, while the later ones will be powerful figures created by the program.
"If Yu Shen wants to experience it, I'll immediately have Hong Hong create a new dream program tailored for him. The existing dream program probably won't give Yu Shen a good combat experience; the opponents are all too weak," Old Fang said with a wry smile.
"Who is Honghong?" Xiang Yu had heard this name more than once. Being able to create dreams sounded impressive.
“Honghong is an intelligent program that evolved from the Sage City, a supercomputer cluster designed with the participation of the first sage. She is like the head butler of the entire base. She is omnipresent and can help many people at the same time,” Daisy Yu said first.
"Oh, I really want to give it a try. Then I'll have to trouble you two and Honghong." Xiang Yu thought to himself that Honghong's abilities were similar to those of the God of Wine. The God of Wine had released so many shadow systems that existed in many different planes.
Hao Jiu was slightly surprised. Many movies have similar plots where supercomputers, after gaining intelligence, intentionally or unintentionally cause humans a lot of suffering.
However, this plane shouldn't be that bad. Besides, this Honghong can only control the Cangquan base. There's still a long way to go before she can control the entire world like the giant Wuba.
"You're too kind, Master Yu. I'll arrange it right away. Uh, could you please open the door so I can go out?" Old Fang rubbed his hands together.
“Okay.” As Xiang Yu spoke, he opened a door, and the three of them walked out of the alternate dimension one after another.
Old Fang cleared his throat. "Uh, Honghong."
"Mr. Fang, what are you doing here? My records show you are still in self-isolation," a cleaning robot nearby spoke up.
Old Fang waved his hand, "Uh, that's not important. Immediately write the most powerful and domineering cultivation program, with the user being a true immortal, the invincible kind."
“Okay, please wait a moment.” Honghong paused for a few seconds. “The new program has been written, but it cannot be used yet. It’s best to modify the Yuan Energy Training Machine first, otherwise it may damage the training machine.”
Old Fang nodded. "That's right. Honghong, please come up with a renovation plan as soon as possible."
"We could try connecting all the training machines together to share the burden of the overflowing domineering energy," Honghong suggested instantly, proposing a feasible solution.
"Let's do it that way then. How long will it take?" Old Fang asked.
“About fifteen minutes,” Honghong replied.
“Feather God, we still have a quarter of an hour to prepare. Why don’t I show you around the rest of the base first?” Elder Fang suggested.
"Okay." Xiang Yu nodded slightly. The fact that the other party was so proactive at least showed that there were no problems with the base now, but it was hard to say whether there had been problems before.
However, as long as it's not a large-scale blood sacrifice, killing some death row inmates to extract their souls is fine. If you want to develop soul technology to benefit humanity, how can you do it without paying a price?
To put it bluntly, even more people died in one world war after another, so what did the purpose have to do with benefiting mankind?
The elemental energy processing plant at Cangquan Base was much as the Shadow System had investigated; it simply labeled, packaged, and shipped the various types of elemental energy boxes brought back from the space warships to all parts of the world.
Of course, the top priority is to ensure the supply of domestic energy.
Meanwhile, the Cangquan base is also responsible for receiving unprocessed souls from slaughterhouses and execution grounds in various places, which will be loaded onto the space warships and taken back to the lunar energy processing plant when the space warships return.
Xiang Yu could roughly determine with a scan using his divine sense that the souls they collected were indeed mostly those of livestock, with only a very small number of human souls, presumably those of heinous death row inmates.
Come to think of it, if the goal is really to kill and collect souls to create elemental energy, then a concentration camp would be necessary, because souls can only be collected using reincarnation chambers or soul bags. No matter how many people die on the battlefield or in the event of natural disasters or man-made calamities, it's useless if there's no time to collect their souls; they will all be absorbed by the underworld.
The world today is a civilized society; how could we possibly create something like concentration camps? The whole world would not allow it, and it would be too difficult to keep the disappearance of a large number of people a secret.
After accompanying Xiang Yu on a tour of the Cangquan base, Elder Fang and Daisy breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as they could gain Yu Shen as a powerful ally, there was nothing to fear from the Underworld.
Because the Feather God has declared that he will fight his way to the Underworld. Even if he doesn't go, he can still ensure the safety of the human world. Although the leaders of the Underworld Sect trained by the Underworld are becoming more and more powerful, they are still mortals in the end. How can they be a match for gods?
Unless the underworld stops using mortal bodies to descend to the human world and instead opens a direct passage to launch a full-scale attack.
However, this possibility is unlikely. If the underworld could really open a portal, it would have done so long ago, and these people would not have been able to persist for a hundred years.
Old Fang glanced at his watch. "Yu Shen, it's almost time. If there's nothing else you'd like to see, let's head back to the training area."
"How about we have a meal together first?" Daisy managed a rare smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, Siyu is so thoughtful. There's no need to rush the training. It's almost lunchtime, so I'll ask the cafeteria to add a few more dishes," Old Fang said with a smile.
"No need, let's go straight to the training ground." Xiang Yu decisively refused. Improving his strength was more important than eating. This Yuan Energy Training Machine might be a shortcut to domineering cultivation.
Daisy was slightly disappointed, but instantly regained her icy expression. "Then let's go to the training ground. Immortals probably don't need to eat."
Old Fang chuckled awkwardly, "Well, that's true. I'm sure even the Feather God wouldn't be used to mortal food. Let's not waste any more time and go straight there."
Without saying a word, Xiang Yu opened the portal to the alternate dimension, instantly bringing the two of them to the Yuan Energy Training Ground. At this moment, more than a hundred Yuan Energy Training Machines in the training ground had already been connected.
"Please have Yu Shen enter the energy pod. Be careful not to resist the drowsiness; you can only begin training once you fall asleep," Elder Fang simply instructed.
Then, after Xiang Yu lay down, he felt no sleepiness whatsoever.
Old Fang's lips twitched violently. "Increase the dosage of the anesthetic mist."
However, even with the maximum concentration of the sleeping drug in the energy capsule, Xiang Yu still couldn't be made unconscious, and this was only because Xiang Yu was willing to cooperate and did not resist.
"I'll figure it out myself." Xiang Yu's current physique is such that even celestial anesthetics might not be able to incapacitate him, let alone mortal medicines.
"Overlord, if you want this dream training method to be useful to you, you must completely open your mind and let the program written by Honghong enter your dream."
"But that's a bit dangerous. It might not be easy to wake you up again. They might do something while you're asleep," Hao Jiu warned.
"It's alright. If this will provoke them to take action, then it will save us trouble; we can just kill them all." Xiang Yu closed his eyes, preparing to sleep. He hadn't slept in a long time, and he didn't need to.
"Alright then, I just bought a bottle of high-tech sleeping pills. I'll feed them to you one by one until you fall asleep," Hao Jiu said, and began to feed them.
Soon after, Xiang Yu fell asleep, even his soul entered a dormant state, and the dream world was successfully accessed.
Daisy Yu snorted coldly, "I hope these hundred elemental training machines don't overload and explode later."
"If it really explodes, it will probably drive our Space Force Commander, the all-powerful Second Generation Sage, crazy, right?" Old Fang said with a wry smile.
At that moment, Honghong sent a voice message.
