    Chapter 219 (Rewritten)

    After injecting every captive Transcendent with the Mutant Dormancy Serum, Su Hao handed them over to Yashan to transport back to the experimental base in Temple Forest City.

    These prisoners would serve three purposes.

    First, they would become experimental subjects for collecting gene samples and researching the abilities of every Transcendent sequence.

    Second, they would help rapidly unify the power of the Seven Cities, allowing the construction of the Super Beast Zones to proceed much faster.

    Third, once everything stabilized, they would become permanent guardians of those Super Beast Zones.


    ---

    Su Hao's plan was simple.

    He implanted a Gene Toxin II targeting sequence into every one of them.

    Just like the Transcendents created inside the Super Beast Zones, these people would eventually become incapable of leaving—or even approaching—the boundary of a Beast Zone.

    For them...

    The Super Beast Zone itself would become a prison.

    Fortunately, these Transcendents were already sixty or seventy years old.

    Even without intervention, they only had another fifty or sixty years to live.

    They would not become a long-term problem.


    ---

    Of course...

    Everything had to be done gradually.

    If he wanted them to obey willingly...

    He first had to make them completely dependent on him.


    ---

    The first step was implanting the Gene Toxin II sequence.

    The second step was designing an entirely new gene fragment.

    This fragment continuously synthesized a special substance—

    Extraordinary Gene Inhibitor Protein.

    Its purpose was straightforward.

    The protein would accumulate inside the body over time.

    Once its concentration reached a certain level...

    It would completely suppress every extraordinary gene.

    The Transcendent would instantly lose all supernatural abilities.

    Their physical strength would remain...

    But every extraordinary power would disappear.

    This was Su Hao's true method of control.


    ---

    The inhibitor accumulated slowly.

    Approximately one month after receiving treatment, every Transcendent would completely lose their powers.

    Only Su Hao possessed the antidote capable of removing the inhibitor.

    For those who obeyed...

    He would provide one dose every month.

    For those who disobeyed...

    He simply stopped supplying the antidote.

    Without their abilities...

    They would become ordinary prey inside the Super Beast Zones.

    It was similar to the Life-and-Death Talisman from ancient legends.

    Only...

    Su Hao's method was far more sophisticated.

    Even after hundreds of years...

    These people would probably never understand how it worked.

    It was true dimensional superiority.


    ---

    After completing all the genetic modifications...

    Su Hao added physical restraints...

    Then awakened everyone.


    ---

    The moment they regained consciousness...

    Every prisoner instinctively struggled.

    However...

    They quickly realized something horrifying.

    Their extraordinary abilities had vanished.

    It felt like a lamp with both electricity and wiring...

    But no switch.

    The power existed...

    Yet they could no longer activate it.

    That strange sensation almost made everyone cough up blood.


    ---

    Things had already been going badly ever since the Temple Forest Association appeared.

    Now...

    Everything had become even worse.

    Unable to break free, the prisoners began observing their surroundings.

    Soon...

    Their eyes settled upon Su Hao.

    He stood quietly before them.

    Handsome.

    Calm.

    Gentle in appearance.

    But possessing eyes colder than ice.


    ---

    One burly Rongzi roared,

    "Hey, brat!"

    "Come over here and remove these restraints!"

    Su Hao recognized him.

    He was one of the three Rongzi captured earlier.

    His physical strength was extraordinary.


    ---

    Not everyone was so impulsive.

    Most of the prisoners immediately understood their situation.

    Their minds raced.

    Where is this?

    Who captured us?

    Why?

    How do we escape?


    ---

    Silence.

    No answers came.

    Only after everyone gradually quieted down did Su Hao begin speaking.


    ---

    "First."

    "I've implanted a toxin into every one of you."

    "It suppresses your extraordinary abilities."

    "You may consider your powers temporarily sealed."

    "The antidote exists."

    "And it is in my possession."

    "Take it, and your abilities will return."

    He paused.

    "But..."

    "The antidote only lasts one month."

    "After one month..."

    "The toxin will suppress your powers again."

    "In other words..."

    "If you don't receive my antidote every month..."

    "You'll remain exactly as weak as you are now."


    ---

    The burly Rongzi immediately exploded with rage.

    "You think this can threaten me?"

    "Go to hell!"

    He spat directly toward Su Hao.


    ---

    Su Hao slowly raised one hand.

    A crystal blade formed.

    He walked forward calmly.

    Slash.

    Splurt!

    Blood sprayed into the air.

    The Rongzi's head rolled across the ground.

    His furious eyes remained open until the very end.


    ---

    "Boss!"

    One of his Level Six subordinates immediately struggled violently.

    "Bastard!"

    "Come kill me too!"


    ---

    Slash.

    Splurt!

    Another head flew into the air.

    It landed beside the Rongzi's corpse.


    ---

    Silence.

    Absolute silence.

    Everyone stared at Su Hao with horror.

    A mighty Level Seven Rongzi...

    Had died as easily as cutting grass.


    ---

    Only then did Su Hao continue speaking calmly.

    "I dislike being interrupted."

    The crystal blade dissolved into countless tiny particles.

    Then he seemed to remember something.

    "Oh."

    "I forgot to introduce myself."

    "I am Wei."

    "The Genesis God of the Temple Forest Association."


    ---

    Everyone inhaled sharply.

    The title Genesis God had spread across the Seven Cities during recent years.

    Although many considered it propaganda...

    Everyone had heard the name.

    The Temple Forest Association worshipped this person above even the traditional Great God Zhu Huo.

    None of them had expected...

    The legendary Genesis God would actually exist.

    No wonder...

    A group of Level Seven Transcendents had been defeated so effortlessly.

    If their opponent truly was a God...

    Their defeat suddenly felt understandable.


    ---

    Seeing everyone finally quiet...

    Su Hao nodded with satisfaction.

    "Good."

    "It seems you possess basic manners."

    "You are finally willing to let me finish speaking."

    He raised two fingers.


    ---

    "Second."

    "You are now prisoners."

    "You will work for me."

    "I have no interest in killing you..."

    "So long as you choose to live."

    "What you must do is simple."

    "Return to your respective cities."

    "Publicly announce your allegiance to the Temple Forest Association."

    "Then cooperate fully with the organizational restructuring."

    He looked across the crowd.

    "You each have one month."

    "If your results fail to satisfy me..."

    "You won't receive next month's antidote."

    "When your powers disappear..."

    "I won't even need to kill you."

    "Your own subordinates will tear you apart."

    A faint smile appeared on his face.

    "If you doubt my words..."

    "Feel free to test them."

    "The price of failure..."

    "...is death."


    ---

    He raised a third finger.

    "Third."

    "After your city's affairs are settled..."

    "You will become guardians of the Super Beast Zones."

    "Your responsibility will be protecting the Beast Zones from sabotage."

    "The specific duties are explained inside the booklet."

    He paused before adding,

    "One final warning."

    "Do not attempt to escape from a Beast Zone."

    "If you do..."

    "You will die."


    ---

    Seeing everyone's confused expressions...

    Su Hao handed each person a small booklet.

    "Everything you need to know..."

    "...is written inside."


    ---

    With a casual wave...

    All restraints disappeared.

    No one moved.

    No one dared attack.

    Everyone merely watched the mysterious man before them—

    The Genesis God, Wei.

    Because everyone clearly understood one fact.

    Attack...

    And die.

    Stay quiet...

    And perhaps survive.


    ---

    Su Hao produced a small bottle.

    "This contains the antidote."

    "One dose."

    "One month's freedom."

    "Use it wisely."

    After distributing the antidotes...

    He pointed toward the laboratory entrance.

    "Very well."

    "You may leave."

    "Return within thirty days."

    "I'll provide the second month's antidote then."


    ---

    Dozens of people stood frozen.

    He's... letting us go?

    The feeling was so surreal that no one knew how to react.

    Yet they were all experienced veterans.

    No one asked foolish questions.

    After all...

    Everyone had just witnessed exactly what happened to the last two people who spoke recklessly.

    Silently...

    The entire group left the experimental base.


    ---

    Outside Temple Forest City...

    A new problem immediately arose.

    Should they take the antidote?

    Who would take it first?

    If one person recovered their powers before everyone else...

    Would they seize the opportunity to eliminate the others?

    But if everyone swallowed it together...

    What if it was poison?

    Would they all die at once?

    For the first time in decades...

    These powerful Transcendents found themselves hesitating over a single tiny pill.
