    Chapter 194

    It was not until dusk that Su Hao finally descended from the sky and landed beside the enormous crater.

    He lightly stomped on the scorched earth beneath his feet and looked over the destruction he had created.

    He couldn't help but sigh.

    "The destructive power a human can unleash... is truly unbelievable."

    Next, Su Hao carefully searched the surrounding area for Fiend Lu's remains.

    To his surprise, he eventually discovered a shattered fragment of bone several hundred meters away.

    A tiny strip of flesh still clung to it.

    Although it wasn't enough for a sixth-stage Chaos Lord to evolve into a Fiend...

    For Su Hao, it was more than sufficient.

    All he needed...

    Was a fragment containing the Fiend's extraordinary genes.

    After collecting the remains, Su Hao glanced once more at the devastated landscape.

    Silently offering a brief apology to the land...

    He leaped back into the sky and flew toward Temple Forest City.

    Thus...

    The matter of the Fiend came to an end.

    Now...

    He could finally return to his laboratory and continue his unfinished research into Rune Genetics.


    ---

    Su Hao flew at tremendous speed.

    Before long, he silently returned to his underground laboratory.

    He first recorded the Fiend's genetic information inside Marble Space, then carefully preserved the remaining flesh and bone.

    Only after everything had been stored properly did he finally lie down to rest.

    The moment he closed his eyes...

    He suddenly sat upright.

    "Yashan!"

    "Prepare some food for me."

    "The more, the better."

    The little round rats throughout the laboratory were startled by the sudden shout, scampering wildly inside their cages.

    Yashan, who had been half asleep, instantly woke up.

    "Right away, Boss Wei!"

    "Please wait a moment. I'll prepare everything immediately."


    ---

    ...


    ---

    After filling himself with an enormous meal...

    Su Hao was finally ready to sleep.

    Yashan hesitated before speaking.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "This afternoon, there was an enormous explosion somewhere far away."

    "It was accompanied by a violent earthquake."

    "I was wondering..."

    "Was that..."

    Yashan had seen Su Hao's bombs before.

    When he felt the earthquake and heard the tremendous explosion...

    His very first thought had been—

    Boss Wei was fighting someone again.

    Unlike everyone else, who assumed it had been an earthquake...

    Yashan firmly believed only Boss Wei could create such terrifying destruction.

    Su Hao replied casually,

    "Oh, that?"

    "Yes."

    "I caused it."

    "It was a pretty big commotion."

    Yashan quietly swallowed.

    "For Boss Wei..."

    "A blast capable of shaking the earth is merely 'a pretty big commotion'..."

    Su Hao continued,

    "I went on a little trip over the past few days."

    "I dealt with the Fiend that had been slaughtering Mutants everywhere."

    "For the time being..."

    "We shouldn't have to worry about him anymore."

    "Didn't you say you were planning to move the Temple Forest Association to Huiyang City?"

    "You should start making preparations."

    Yashan's mouth slowly fell open.

    Then he froze completely.

    The terrifying Fiend...

    The monster feared by Mutants throughout the continent...

    Had simply been eliminated by Boss Wei?

    Hadn't Boss Wei previously said he might not necessarily be able to defeat the Fiend?

    When Yashan looked at Su Hao again...

    His gaze had completely changed.

    "Boss Wei is clearly this powerful..."

    "Yet he's still so humble..."

    "I have much to learn."

    "From now on..."

    "I, Yashan, shall become even more humble than Boss Wei!"


    ---

    During the following days...

    Su Hao ate enormous quantities of food every meal, rapidly converting it into Blood Essence to replenish the reserves he had exhausted.

    Once his condition had completely recovered...

    He once again extended his hands toward the little round rats he had been raising.

    Research resumed.


    ---

    The very first thing Su Hao did...

    Was retrieve the Fiend's genetic sequence.

    The instant he examined it...

    His eyes nearly popped out.

    The Fiend's genes contained far more than the Poison People Sequence.

    They also contained extraordinary gene fragments belonging to numerous other Mutant Sequences.

    It was practically...

    A complete encyclopedia of extraordinary genes.

    An invaluable treasure.

    After examining it more carefully, Su Hao gradually calmed down.

    "It isn't complete."

    "At least four advanced gene fragments are still missing."

    "But even so..."

    "It's already terrifying."

    "What exactly did I kill?"

    "A God?"

    He shook his head.

    "Probably not."

    "But calling him a demigod wouldn't be much of an exaggeration."

    The value of the Fiend's genes to Su Hao was simply immeasurable.

    They opened an entirely new path for future research.

    However...

    After studying them for a while...

    He temporarily set them aside.

    There was something even more important waiting for him.


    ---

    "Now..."

    "No one can stop me from researching runes."

    "This time..."

    "I'll completely integrate runes into living organisms."

    He slowly clenched his fist.

    "I'm going to create..."

    "A brand-new extraordinary race."


    ---

    Two months later...

    Su Hao turned eighteen.

    While conducting another experiment...

    He suddenly smiled.

    "Ding."

    "Achievement unlocked."

    "Adulthood."

    Even he couldn't help laughing at himself.

    "The new extraordinary race..."

    "It's almost here."


    ---

    Another six months passed.

    Finally...

    Su Hao successfully created his first extraordinary little round rat.

    Its name was—

    Luminous Rat.

    From time to time...

    Its entire body emitted dazzling flashes of light.

    The flashing was irregular.

    Sometimes fast.

    Sometimes slow.

    It resembled the flickering bathroom lights in a horror story.

    Unfortunately...

    The little round rat itself was terrified by the mysterious light.

    It frantically dashed around its cage, desperately trying to escape the strange glow surrounding its own body.

    The faster it ran...

    The faster the light flickered.

    Watching the scene...

    Su Hao nodded with satisfaction.

    "In my previous world..."

    "This would already qualify as a low-level monster."

    "It doesn't possess much offensive ability."

    "But it does have unique characteristics."

    The only problem was...

    The little round rat lacked intelligence.

    It couldn't consciously control the runes inside its own body.

    Fortunately...

    That wasn't important.

    Su Hao's true goal had always been intelligent life.

    As long as the runes could be inherited genetically...

    His experiment was already a success.


    ---

    The birth of the Luminous Rat had not been easy.

    Simply engraving complete runes into its genes wasn't enough.

    The runes also required a sufficient supply of Blood Essence to function.

    To achieve this...

    Su Hao repeatedly implanted Blood Essence Enhancement gene fragments into countless little round rats.

    Many brave experimental subjects sacrificed themselves for this breakthrough.


    ---

    After placing the Luminous Rat back inside its cage...

    Su Hao absentmindedly reached for another little round rat.

    Only then did he realize...

    His supply of laboratory rats had nearly run out.

    With a helpless sigh...

    He pushed open the laboratory door.

    Out of habit, he was about to call for Yashan to catch more little round rats.

    Only then did he suddenly remember...

    Yashan had already left two months earlier, taking the Temple Forest Association's elite members to Huiyang City.

    Nowadays...

    Inside Temple Forest City...

    The only familiar companions remaining beside Su Hao...

    Were these little round rats.

    With a wave of his hand...

    Countless little round rats automatically floated over from the breeding room and entered the laboratory.

    Smiling faintly...

    He said to himself,

    "I've always been alone."

    "I'm used to it."

    "Let's continue."

    "Rune Genetics..."

    "That's where the real fun begins."

    Just as he was about to return to the laboratory...

    A familiar Blood Essence signature suddenly appeared within his radar.

    "Hm?"

    "Yashan?"

    "Why has he come back?"

    Sure enough...

    It was Yashan.

    He was flying back toward Temple Forest City at astonishing speed.

    The distance between Huiyang City and Temple Forest City was immense.

    Even flying at supersonic speed...

    The journey still required five or six hours.

    If Yashan had returned now...

    It could only mean one thing.

    Something important had happened.

    After thinking for a moment...

    Su Hao abandoned his experiment and quietly waited in the courtyard.


    ---

    Before long...

    A familiar figure descended from the sky.

    Golden crystal armor covered his body.

    His wings stretched wide behind him.

    He looked remarkably imposing.

    With a thunderous boom...

    Yashan landed.

    After flying continuously for hours...

    He staggered slightly before regaining his balance.

    Su Hao chuckled.

    "Yashan."

    "Looks like your landing still needs some work."

    Yashan scratched his head awkwardly.

    "You're absolutely right, Boss Wei."

    "After flying for so long..."

    "I almost forgot what standing on solid ground feels like."

    "But..."

    "Flying really is incredible."

    He laughed happily.

    Su Hao asked,

    "So?"

    "What brought you back?"

    "Something important?"

    Yashan immediately straightened his posture.

    His expression turned completely serious.

    "Of course."

    "I learned several new dishes in Huiyang City."

    "So I came back specifically..."

    "...to let Boss Wei taste them."

    Su Hao blinked.

    "..."

    Yashan continued naturally,

    "I figured Boss Wei probably hasn't been eating very well lately."

    "And honestly..."

    "I haven't been sleeping well either."

    "So I decided to come back."

    After saying that...

    He dismissed his armor.

    Then, with practiced familiarity, he walked straight into the kitchen.

    "There are plenty of ingredients."

    "Boss Wei, please wait a moment."

    "I'll have everything ready soon."

    Su Hao silently created a reclining chair out of crystal armor.

    He leaned back in the courtyard.

    Watching Yashan busily cooking in the kitchen...

    His expression gradually became complicated.

    After a long silence...

    He quietly sighed.

    "Yashan..."

    "You've truly been..."

    "...a worthwhile investment."
