    Chapter 285

    Five months later...

    Su Hao injected three vials of genetic modification serum into the three summoned beasts—the Giant Moth, the Flying Mantis, and the Black-tailed Wasp.

    As long as even one of them successfully evolved into a Genesis Sovereign, his entire plan could officially begin.

    The result would be known in four hours.

    Time passed quietly.

    When the third hour arrived, the Flying Mantis' body suddenly began to shrivel. Its cells rapidly withered, and its life force weakened at a visible rate.

    Su Hao frowned.

    "The Flying Mantis failed."

    Evolution required an enormous amount of energy.

    Once the body began shrinking instead of expanding, it almost always meant the evolution had failed because the organism could no longer sustain the tremendous energy consumption.

    "It seems organisms from this world aren't nearly as compatible with the Mimic Human bloodline as the creatures from my previous world."

    "Reaching the sixth stage, the Genesis Sovereign, really isn't easy."

    He waved his hand.

    Golden steel surged forward.

    The Flying Mantis, whose evolution had failed, quietly sank beneath the earth.

    Su Hao turned toward the remaining two summoned beasts.

    Half an hour later...

    The Black-tailed Wasp also began shrinking.

    Its evolution had failed as well.

    Su Hao wasn't disappointed.

    Instead...

    A smile slowly appeared on his face.

    Because the Giant Moth showed no signs of decline whatsoever.

    That meant its compatibility with the Genesis Sovereign bloodline was extremely high.

    By this point in the evolution process, success or failure had already been decided.

    As long as it could endure another ten minutes...

    The evolution would succeed.

    Su Hao quietly observed it.

    "The Giant Moth, Flying Mantis and Black-tailed Wasp all belong to organisms that undergo metamorphosis."

    "Their bodies naturally change drastically throughout their life cycle, so they're highly compatible with the Mimic Human lineage."

    "Among them, the Giant Moth experiences four complete transformations before reaching adulthood."

    "The Flying Mantis and the Black-tailed Wasp only undergo partial metamorphosis."

    "They're suitable for evolving into a fifth-stage Abnormal King, but the probability of successfully reaching the sixth-stage Genesis Sovereign is much lower."

    "The same principle applies to every future evolution."

    "If I want to create sixth-stage or even seventh-stage Exotic Beasts, I'll need to analyze each organism individually and choose the appropriate evolutionary path."

    Ten minutes later...

    The Giant Moth still showed no signs of weakening.

    Su Hao finally smiled.

    His long-awaited...

    Genesis Sovereign

    had finally been born.

    A burst of laughter echoed throughout the underground laboratory.

    The sound startled Yashan, who was next door practicing Life Perception with several summoned beasts.

    He nearly jumped in fright.

    ...

    A while later, the Giant Moth slowly awakened.

    Su Hao immediately extended his psychic tentacles and established control.

    "Let's test its abilities first."

    "Transformation."

    The Giant Moth immediately dissolved into a mass of soft tissue before rapidly restructuring itself.

    Moments later...

    It had become a Flying Mantis.

    It even flapped its wings naturally while flying around the laboratory.

    Su Hao nodded in satisfaction.

    "Again."

    The Giant Moth's body melted like slime before reforming once more.

    This time...

    It gradually transformed into a human figure.

    Its appearance was astonishingly similar to Yashan.

    The moth version of Yashan opened its mouth.

    "Hiss... hiss..."

    Only strange insect noises emerged.

    No human language.

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "The body can transform..."

    "But its essence is still a moth."

    "The brain cannot truly become human."

    "Now..."

    "Let's test the most important ability."

    "Host Parasitism."

    He slowly closed his eyes.

    His psychic tentacles extended outward through the spatial passage.

    Using spiritual force to stabilize the surrounding space, he gradually increased the vibration frequency.

    Moments later...

    His psychic perception pierced through space.

    It reached the Secondary Star.

    Countless tiny points of life immediately appeared within his perception.

    Su Hao casually selected one.

    His psychic tentacles formed a massive net around it before suddenly tightening.

    The little point struggled desperately.

    It was useless.

    The spatial passage pulled it straight into Su Hao's laboratory.

    A moment later...

    A lynx the size of a water buffalo crashed onto the floor.

    The moment it appeared, it bared its teeth and growled fiercely at Su Hao.

    Golden steel immediately restrained all four of its limbs.

    The beast could only roar helplessly.

    Su Hao had no intention of taming it.

    It would simply become today's experimental subject.

    One advantage of this world was that experimental material was practically unlimited.

    Whenever he needed one...

    He simply summoned another creature from the Secondary Star.

    If the experiment ended successfully...

    And the subject happened to be edible...

    Yashan could even roast it for dinner.

    Life truly couldn't get much more convenient than this.

    ...

    Su Hao focused on the Giant Moth.

    He activated Host Parasitism.

    Nothing seemed to happen on the surface.

    But under a microscopic view...

    Countless invisible parasitic cells quietly detached from the Giant Moth.

    They drifted through the air like dust.

    Some landed on the lynx's fur.

    Others entered through its nostrils.

    Still more slipped in through the corners of its eyes.

    The lynx noticed nothing.

    Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea...

    Its entire body had already been infiltrated.

    The parasitic cells rapidly copied the host's protein structures, perfectly disguising themselves.

    They effortlessly bypassed the lynx's immune system.

    Soon afterward...

    A horrifying scene unfolded inside its body.

    Like cancer cells...

    The Genesis Sovereign cells absorbed nutrients while multiplying explosively.

    One day later...

    They had spread throughout every part of the lynx's body.

    At that point...

    Every organ had effectively come under the control of the Genesis Sovereign.

    With a single thought from Su Hao...

    Ownership of the lynx's body could instantly change.

    Yet the lynx remained completely unaware.

    Carefully observing the process, Su Hao discovered the underlying mechanism.

    "The parasitic cells devour part of the host's original cells."

    "Then they replace those cells while maintaining all of their original functions."

    "The host continues living exactly as before."

    However...

    That alone wasn't enough for Su Hao.

    He placed a hand on the Giant Moth.

    Blood Qi flowed into its body.

    He recorded its consciousness inside the Marble Space, locking it within an isolated Black Room.

    From now on...

    Everything the Giant Moth saw, heard, or sensed would automatically be transmitted into the Marble Space.

    At the same time...

    It inherited another ability developed by Su Hao long ago—

    The Blessing of the God of Creation.

    As long as it infused an object with Blood Qi...

    The target's information would automatically be recorded inside the Marble Space.

    Only now...

    Did that ability finally reveal its true value.

    Su Hao then attempted to gather the parasitic cells inside the lynx's brain.

    He concentrated their Blood Qi...

    Trying to record the lynx's consciousness.

    A moment later...

    He frowned.

    "The Blood Qi inside each parasitic cell is still too weak."

    "It's nowhere near enough to record consciousness."

    "So that's the bottleneck."

    ...

    Over the following month...

    Su Hao conducted countless experiments using the Genesis Sovereign and various summoned beasts.

    Eventually, he arrived at several stable conclusions.

    Once the Genesis Sovereign's cells successfully established themselves inside a host, they required roughly fifteen days to slowly absorb nutrients and accumulate enough Blood Qi.

    If they forcibly accelerated that growth process, they could reach the required Blood Qi level in only three days, but doing so placed an enormous burden on the host's body and was only suitable when the goal was complete takeover.

    If enough parasitic cells invaded at once, they could rapidly destroy the host's body and kill it outright.

    Each parasitic unit possessed astonishing corrosive abilities.

    Even biochemical protective suits couldn't stop them.

    Given enough time, they could even penetrate a steel plate one centimetre thick.

    After parasitizing a host, the Genesis Sovereign could seize control of the body at any moment.

    The price...

    Was the complete destruction of the host's original consciousness.

    Most importantly...

    Every infected host could continuously release new parasitic units, silently spreading the infection to everyone around them.

    After reaching these conclusions...

    Su Hao slowly smiled.

    "Everything is ready."

    "The All Our Own People Plan..."

    "Can finally begin."

      Chapter 286

      After more than a month of adjustments and refinement, Su Hao had finally nurtured the Genesis Sovereign Giant Moth to its peak condition.

      Leaving Yongxin Base, he shot into the sky.

      Steel rapidly flowed over his body, enveloping him in the armor of the Steel Armor King. A pair of metallic wings unfolded from his back, and with a thunderous burst beneath his feet, he accelerated into the heavens.

      Opening the map in his mind, he randomly selected a city and immediately changed course.

      His destination didn't matter.

      As long as it was a city of reasonable size, it would have a Summoned Beast Custody Center operated by the Custody Agency.

      Since Su Hao had no intention of revealing the location of Yongxin Base, choosing a random city was the safest option.

      Two hours later...

      He arrived outside Huangya City.

      After landing in an isolated area, he dismissed his armor, hailed a passing vehicle, and headed directly into the city.

      His destination—

      The Summoned Beast Custody Center.


      ---

      Presenting Bai Jingzhong's identification card together with his Senior Summoner badge, Su Hao waited quietly.

      The young receptionist glanced at the documents.

      The moment she read the three words—

      Bai Jingzhong

      —she froze.

      Then she looked up at Su Hao.

      Looked back at the ID.

      Looked at Su Hao again.

      Her eyes slowly widened.

      She covered her mouth in disbelief.

      "Y-You're..."

      "The All-Star Summoner Champion..."

      "Bai Jingzhong?"

      Su Hao smiled and nodded.

      The young woman immediately let out an excited scream.

      "Oh my God!"

      "It's really Bai Jingzhong!"

      "My idol actually came to Huangya City!"

      She hurriedly rummaged through her drawer before carefully pulling out a photograph.

      It was a still from last year's championship finals—

      The moment Su Hao summoned Yashan onto the battlefield.

      She handed over the photograph together with a pen, her face filled with anticipation.

      "Champion Bai..."

      "Could you please give me your autograph?"

      Su Hao's lips twitched slightly.

      "I'm in a hurry."

      "Please process the paperwork first."

      The receptionist immediately patted her chest confidently.

      "Don't worry!"

      "I'll personally move your application to the front of the queue!"


      ---

      Ordinarily, completing custody procedures required at least an hour.

      This time...

      Everything was finished within thirty minutes.

      The only price Su Hao paid was signing autographs for every female employee in the Custody Center.

      They even requested a group photograph afterward.

      Su Hao refused without hesitation.

      Just because he was handsome didn't mean everyone could take pictures with him.

      When he finally left...

      Nearly every young woman in the reception hall walked outside to watch him go, their expressions filled with reluctance.


      ---

      Meanwhile...

      The moment the Genesis Sovereign Giant Moth arrived at the Custody Agency's underground research facility...

      The entire laboratory immediately sprang into action.

      Researchers quickly arranged a comprehensive series of examinations.

      Compared to the previous summoned beasts Su Hao had entrusted to them...

      This higher-ranked specimen immediately attracted everyone's attention.

      In truth...

      The Custody Agency had already made an astonishing discovery while studying Su Hao's earlier summoned beasts.

      That discovery was precisely why they valued this new specimen so highly.

      They found that every one of Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts possessed extraordinarily powerful life energy.

      Far stronger than ordinary creatures from the Secondary Star.

      The discovery had shocked every researcher.

      Because...

      It directly contradicted one of biology's most fundamental theories.

      According to long-established scientific understanding...

      The life energy contained within creatures from the Secondary Star was directly proportional to their size.

      The larger the beast...

      The greater the energy stored within its body.

      This had always been regarded as common sense.

      It was believed to be an inherent characteristic of the Secondary Star's environment.

      Yet Bai Jingzhong's summoned beasts completely overturned that conclusion.

      Despite their relatively small bodies...

      They contained astonishing amounts of life energy.

      Researchers unanimously believed that this mysterious energy was the true source of their overwhelming strength.

      The next question naturally followed.

      How was this enormous life energy produced?

      Could humans also master it?

      The answer, in their opinion...

      Was yes.

      After all...

      Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi themselves were living proof.

      Those two children possessed physical abilities that completely exceeded ordinary humans.

      Therefore...

      The secret had to lie with them.

      Furthermore...

      During the championship finals, Bai Jingzhong had displayed abilities completely beyond the scope of ordinary summoned beasts.

      Flames.

      Lightning.

      Fire was understandable.

      Many creatures possessed flame-based abilities.

      But lightning...

      What biological structure could possibly generate lightning?

      An electric eel?

      Impossible.

      One mystery after another eventually converged upon the same conclusion.

      Everything revolved around those two extraordinary boys.

      So...

      What exactly was hidden behind them?


      ---

      Everyone inside the Custody Agency understood one thing.

      Whatever secrets Bai Jingzhong possessed...

      He would never willingly hand them over.

      Fortunately...

      The Custody Agency had always acted cautiously.

      Until they completely understood Bai Jingzhong's background, they had no intention of making an enemy of him.

      Instead...

      They chose another approach.

      His summoned beasts.

      If the boys themselves couldn't be studied...

      Then these extraordinary summoned beasts certainly could.

      They firmly believed that every secret hidden within Bai Jingzhong could eventually be uncovered from these creatures.


      ---

      Back at Yongxin Base...

      Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.

      A faint smile appeared on his face.

      "They've begun."

      Through the consciousness connection inside the Marble Space, he sensed the Custody Agency beginning its experiments on the Genesis Sovereign Giant Moth.

      As for which researchers were conducting the experiments...

      He didn't care.

      The parasite was what truly mattered.


      ---

      His consciousness entered the Marble Space.

      Looking through the isolated Black Room connected to the Giant Moth, Su Hao observed the laboratory from its perspective.

      It was a massive all-metal research chamber.

      The Giant Moth was confined inside a sixty-square-meter containment room.

      The compartment was sealed by thick reinforced glass.

      On the opposite side...

      Three researchers carefully monitored various instruments while continuously recording data.

      Because the Giant Moth was far beyond Su Hao's control range, he couldn't directly command it.

      But that had never been necessary.

      Long before sending it here...

      He had already implanted a predetermined command inside its consciousness.

      The moment it received the appropriate stimulus...

      It would act automatically.

      The command activated.

      Host Parasitism.

      Countless invisible parasitic cells rapidly assembled into numerous parasitic units before silently pouring out from the Giant Moth's body.

      Within moments...

      The entire containment chamber was filled with them.


      ---

      One researcher immediately frowned.

      "The G-2 specimen suddenly released an unknown gaseous substance."

      On the monitoring equipment, the countless parasitic units merely appeared as an unidentified biological gas.

      No one realized what they truly were.

      Another researcher glanced at the data.

      "I only injected a mild stimulant."

      "It shouldn't be reacting this intensely."

      The three researchers walked toward the observation window.

      The bespectacled researcher studied the Giant Moth carefully before nodding.

      "It only seems slightly agitated."

      "It should be fine."

      The researcher with large eyes laughed.

      "If our Biology Division cracks the secrets of these special summoned beasts first..."

      "We'll finally put the Space Division in their place."

      The bespectacled researcher smiled.

      "Exactly."

      "I've wanted to wipe those arrogant expressions off their faces for years."

      "Come on."

      "Let's continue collecting data."

      "The previous experimental records probably aren't valuable enough."


      ---

      While the three chatted casually...

      Countless parasitic units had already gathered against one corner of the reinforced glass.

      Slowly...

      They corroded an opening no larger than a needle's eye.

      Then...

      Like an invisible tide...

      They silently flowed through the gap.

      One after another...

      They landed on the researchers' bodies.

      Not one of them noticed.


      ---

      Far away...

      Inside Yongxin Base...

      Su Hao smiled.

      "The first step..."

      "Success."

      "Now all that's left is waiting."

      "The parasitic cells will quietly spread from host to host."

      "Within three years at most..."

      "The entire Custody Agency..."

      "...will belong to me."


      ---

      Having completed their initial infection, the Giant Moth's parasitic cells gradually became dormant once more.

      Since only a small number had escaped, existing monitoring equipment was unlikely to detect them.

      Only after their population increased significantly would exposure become a possibility.

      "No need to rush."

      "Slowly..."

      "There's plenty of time."

      Su Hao was patient.

      At this point...

      He could already see the outline of the future.

      Completely taking control of the Custody Agency was no longer just an idea.

      It had become inevitable.

      After observing for a while longer, Su Hao withdrew from the Marble Space and slowly exhaled.


      ---

      After dinner...

      Yashan finished organizing his equipment before walking over.

      "Boss Wei."

      "My Life Perception training is basically complete."

      "I think..."

      "I'm ready to begin tonight."

      "I'm going after the human traffickers."

      Su Hao nodded approvingly.

      "Are you fully prepared?"

      Yashan grinned.

      "Completely prepared."

      Su Hao smiled.

      "Then go."

      "Every beginning is difficult."

      "Once you take the first step..."

      "...you'll realize it wasn't so difficult after all."
