Chapter 783 -778: Advanced Research!
“Really?”
Upon hearing the Dark Emperor’s words, Bai Qi’s gaze suddenly changed, a murderous air lingering between his brows.
Even though the Dark Emperor seemed to be purely research-focused, research maniacs were not uncommon.
Leaving someone like this who disregarded the lives of his own race, could only lead to trouble.
Alpha, who seemed to perceive Bai Qi’s thoughts, also stood at the ready behind him. The Sword of Silent Annihilation trembled slightly, ready to strike down the Dark Emperor at Bai Qi’s command.
“Undeniably, it’s a pity that I can currently only fuse the bloodline of transcendent creatures into the human body, thereby obtaining a fraction of their power. If I could fuse the entire creature, humans could truly contend with ferocious beasts,”
the Dark Emperor said, a look of regret on his face. “Sadly, as long as we don’t resolve the conflict between the human soul and a beast’s bloodline, this idea can never be realized.”
Hearing these words from the Dark Emperor, Bai Qi appeared taken aback, and both Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha exchanged perplexed stares.
It seemed as though the Dark Emperor and Bai Qi weren’t on the same wavelength in their conversation?
Bai Qi looked intently at the Dark Emperor and said, “Your Majesty meant that your human formation blended only the bloodline of transcendent creatures?”
“Of course.”
The Dark Emperor nodded and clarified, “The primary reason for the strength of transcendent creatures is their ability to connect with the energy around them.”
“We humans, apart from being able to cultivate our spirit power, are incapable of such things.”
“Therefore, I began to ponder, if humans also possess the bloodline of transcendent creatures, could they acquire the same power?”
As he spoke, an unusual gleam appeared on the Dark Emperor’s face.
“You know what? I selected a group of volunteers and experimented with the fusion of Holy Light and Shadow, which actually proved successful.”
“The Holy Light Guard and Shadow Guard that you just witnessed are both outcomes of my research!”
Having found someone to share his ideas with, the Dark Emperor seemed quite excited, but his mood suddenly turned melancholic.
“Unfortunately, humans still fall short in bearing transcendent power. The spirit of the Holy Light Guard and the body of the Shadow Guard were all influenced to varying degrees.”
“Unless a significant breakthrough is made, the plan to mass-produce through human refinement might be far-fetched.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi and others finally understood.
Unless something unexpected occurred, this emperor, mostly criticized in human history, was likely deceived by his subordinates.
The threesome exchanged a glance, relaying to the Dark Emperor their discoveries in the palace, as well as their observations along the way. Upon hearing Bai Qi’s recount, the Dark Emperor fell silent.
“I was aware of some of the events with the Bo Ge family, but I hardly understand state affairs, so I almost never questioned their specific actions.”
The Dark Emperor sighed and added, “Although the Dynasty reunified the humans once more, our living conditions haven’t improved, and that’s why I relied on powerful families such as the Bo Ge family to secure the dynasty,”
“I never thought they would go that far…”
Ah woo, ah woo…
(The human, he didn’t lie…)
Beta’s vertical pupils stared closely at the Dark Emperor, without detecting the slightest abnormality.
“I can see that.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. With the enhancement of the Spirit’s rule, his perception was much stronger than before. He could tell that the Dark Emperor was not lying.
Moreover, given the current situation, there was no point in lying.
“Your Majesty, according to the information we received, the tribe is likely to launch a large-scale attack soon, so …”
“I already knew that.”
Bai Qi chose his words carefully, relaying their findings to the Dark Emperor. The Dark Emperor seemed unsurprised. He tapped on the table lightly, and it immediately flipped over into a large map.
The map was peculiar. Rock-made, it was constantly in flux, capable of enlarging or shrinking under the Dark Emperor’s manipulation.
“Located in the most barren area, the Dynasty is surrounded by tribes on all sides, with no place to retreat.”
The Dark Emperor pointed to the border line of the Dynasty and said, “If these tribes are willing, they can launch an attack simultaneously and the empire will collapse.”
“But the tribes are not united, which is why the Dynasty still exists, correct?”
Bai Qi intently observed the map as he spoke.
“Exactly. These tribes have grudges amongst themselves, so compared to confronting a powerful rival tribe, they prefer to have a buffer zone in between.”
With a bitter smile on his face, the Dark Emperor added, “After all, to them, we humans are nothing but ants that can be crushed at any time.”
Nodding slightly at the statement, Bai Qi was aware that the tribes had been long-standing and neighboring tribes often waged wars.
A buffer zone was mutually beneficial at this time.
“However, not all tribes share this sentiment.”
The Dark Emperor magnified one of the tribes whose symbol was a fox clearly carved.
“The Fox Tribe from the North of the Empire have always perceived humans as latent threats and have wanted to obliterate us.”
“But instead of launching large-scale wars, they chose to slowly devour the Empire’s territories.”
“If this continues, the Empire will inevitably be swallowed by the Fox Tribe.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi immediately realized, “So Your Majesty, you wanted the Bo Ge family to lead the charge, to create the Holy Light Guard and Shadow Guard to counteract them?”
“Correct. The number of Beast Masters of the Dynasty is nowhere near enough to rival the tribes, even with the weapons I created using alchemy.”
The Dark Emperor nodded, adding, “Even if human refinement were successful, the Dynasty is still incapable of holding its own against the tribes.”
“So humans need a victory, a victory substantial enough to intimidate the tribes, so they wouldn’t dare to attack humans without provocation!”
“As luck would have it, the Fox Tribe has gradually lost its patience and is planning to usurp the Dynasty in one fell swoop.”
At this point, the Dark Emperor’s gaze suddenly became profound and a massive shift took place in his demeanor.
If before, the Dark Emperor looked to be merely an enthusiast engrossed in alchemical research, now he resembled a cunning human king, orchestrating strategies behind the scenes!
“But didn’t Your Majesty just say that the power discrepancy between humans and the tribes is significant, so wouldn’t even reliance on human alchemy be ineffective?”
Bai Qi asked.
“In fact, I gave up on human alchemy quite some time ago. After all, its risk is too high, the return too small, and it would not produce any effects in a short period.”
The Dark Emperor smiled, reverting to his former fervent researcher self, and with great excitement, he pulled Bai Qi into a corner of the palace and brought out a metal sphere.
“This is what I’ve been studying recently. It can explode with enough force to destroy an entire city momentarily!”
“This is just the preliminary completion. In a few days, when I’ve perfected the inner alchemical structure, the range of its destructive powers will only expand!”
“Instantaneous explosion? A bomb?”
Listening to the Dark Emperor’s description, Bai Qi and the others exchanged curious glances.
In this era, was the Dark Emperor already capable of making bombs? Why hadn’t such weapons been seen in the following dynasties?
“Bomb? Apt name! We’ll call it bomb!”
Bai Qi: “…”
Very well, history’s first bomb was born.
However, being able to destroy a city instantly and possibly further expand its range, it seemed to bear a closer resemblance to the Annihilation Weapon?
Was the Dark Emperor’s research this far ahead in time?
Bai Qi stroked his chin, his gaze shifting towards the sphere while Schuck was more direct. If it hadn’t been for Bai Qi holding him back, he probably would have gone over to analyze it.
“However, according to your speculations, the tribes will take action soon, and I need to hasten the refinement of the alchemical bomb.”
The Dark Emperor looked at Bai Qi’s group and said, “So I want to ask for your help to confirm the actual situation so I can be ready in advance.”
“That’s not a problem, but are you sure your Majesty, that one bomb is enough?”
Bai Qi nodded, expressing his own worry at the same time.
Even with the powerful Annihilation Weapon in its control, the Federation couldn’t confidently say they could defeat the tribes entirely. Regardless of how strong the Dark Emperor’s alchemical bomb was, it seemed unlikely to suffice.
“Don’t worry, I do have other preparations, that’s more than enough.”
“If that’s the case, then that’s great.”
Bai Qi understood and looked at the smiling Dark Emperor, suddenly asking, “Can I ask why Your Majesty would trust a few strangers like us?”
“Do you think I have a choice?”
The Dark Emperor chuckled. He patted the stone map lightly, turning it back into a table, and taking a piece of wood, he continued with his carving.
“Looks that way.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly after pondering over it and summoned Husky and Jie Ta.
“Schuck, stay here and see if you can help with anything. Jie Ta, you should discuss bloodline matters with His Majesty, understood?”
Whir whir?
(What says Jie Ta need to understand?)
Jie Ta had a dazed expression, completely unaware of what Bai Qi was talking about. Schuck, however, immediately understood.
“Don’t worry Beast Master, I will diligently help~.”
In Schuck’s eyes, a lustful gleam flashed, and the golden data flow moved rapidly, confirming that it was beginning to record the Dark Emperor’s movements.
Alchemy, this long lost technique, if he could master it, would undoubtedly increase his power tremendously.
“Then, we’ll take our leave.”
Watching the Dark Emperor immerse himself in alchemy, Bai Qi and the others discreetly left the palace.
“Bai Qi, what are we going to do next?”
Bai Qiucha asked.
“Judging from the Bo Ge brothers, there will be an imminent attack by ferocious beasts. We must prepare ahead of time.”

Bai Qi looked towards the northern direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast space to see the movements of the Fox Tribe.
“Is it because the Bo Ge brothers requested military power?”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen finally understood and involuntarily furrowed his brow.
“If the Bo Ge brothers specifically came to seek military power, it suggests this army’s strength is likely not weak. If they rebel at this time, it would be difficult for us to deal with.”
“I understand, that’s why we need to prepare ahead of time.”
Bai Qi nodded, saying, “Zhuge Chen, investigate the imperial capital for any peculiarities, no matter how ludicrous the matters may seem.”
“Cha, you track the Shadow Guard, see if you can gather some useful information. The Shadow Guard is responsible for external battles, and may have direct contact with the tribes.”
“As for me, I’ll take a trip to the Bo Ge family, to see what this family is really plotting!”
