Ring ring ring...

Accompanied by a crisp bell sound rising from the depths of the heart.

The surface of the golden double-headed spiral long spear in Angie's hand gradually revealed fine patterns that looked like blood vessels or vines, with the pure flawless golden light becoming increasingly dazzling.

There was even a faint feeling of truly becoming solid.

With a gentle grasp, the long spear turned into a formless stream of air and disappeared, reappearing in her hand with a mere gesture.

Gather to form, disperse to become air, changes follow the heart.

Not to mention the special effects on barriers and biological entities, just this trait alone of changing with one's will could surpass ninety-nine percent of the Extraordinary Weapons in the world.

"Alright, remove the redundant parts. The 'Thousand-Faced Moon' has contributed an additional 32% completion on the basis of the original 'Golden Chain', especially filling the huge gap in the lower realm creature information.

With such harvests already far beyond my expectations, if we now use 'Longinus' to pierce the 'Mechanical Realm', it might be even easier than the Evil God 'Thousand-Faced Moon'."

Aiven clapped his hands, very pleased with the first achievement from this outing.

"Teacher, to us, the 'Thousand-Faced Moon' is practically a treasure trove. Perhaps when you swing your sword again, the creature information of the Shadow Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Celestial Realm could be all there."

Angie's silver eyes sparkled, just like Olivia's when she saw a gemstone mine.

With a light touch on the girl's perky and cute nose, Aiven jokingly scolded:

"Swing the sword again? Do you think Evil Gods are like pork? Perhaps when I achieve 'Truth Embodiment', it might be close."

But what Angie said is indeed correct.

As long as the 'Golden Holy Spear·Lance' can continuously be supplemented, obtaining a complete 'High-dimensional Information Projection'—'Golden Chain', there would be no unbreakable shell for me, nor any creature I couldn't pierce!

Who said a spear without a head couldn't kill?

Hmm, I have two spearheads, so that's not a problem.

Sisters Clareesa and Leonara, who were also in the laboratory, looked at Angie, who Aiven had "fed" again, with a bit of envy.

However, during this period, they had also gradually solidified the systematic knowledge of the 'Life Tree School' and chose their research directions under Aiven's guidance.

The samples all came from outer space, that 'Purifier' resembling a 'flagellated worm'.

Based on their talents, the sisters chose research directions: one on bioenergy, and the other on the 'Molecular Evolution Clock'.

In the initial 'Chimera Secret Ceremony', Clareesa represented the Lion Head, symbolizing 'Strength'.

The 'producer', as the foundation of the planet's ecosystem today, revealed one of the fundamental questions in biology: how to obtain energy from the environment.

Aiven guided her on two main methods: chemoautotrophy and photosynthesis.

The former uses carbon dioxide as the primary carbon source and inorganic nitrogen-containing compounds as the nitrogen source to synthesize necessary cellular materials and acquires the energy needed for growth by oxidizing inorganic substances externally;

The latter involves complex and precise steps such as light absorption, electron transfer, photophosphorylation, and carbon assimilation, requiring decryption piece by piece.

Most intriguingly, traces of both methods could be found on 'Purifier', indicating that the Muriyan Civilization indeed had high attainments in biological research.

In the 'Chimera Secret Ceremony', Leonara represented the Goat Head, symbolizing 'Mystery'.

The 'Molecular Evolution Clock' also perfectly matched Leonara's prophet talent of tracing timelines.

Connotation: the substitution number of a certain protein among different species is linearly related to the divergence time of the studied species, thus calling this constant rate variation at the molecular level a 'Molecular Evolution Clock'.

Previously, Calvin's 'Evolution Theory' and Jacob's continuously perfected 'Life Tree Diagram' had already proved that all life on Herag Star originated from a common ancestor.

Subsequently, this 'first one' continuously branched and metabolized along the time axis spanning billions of years, ultimately forming today's lush 'Tree of Life'.

Through this magical 'Molecular Evolution Clock', the course of biological evolution can be traced, precisely locating their position on the 'Tree of Life'.

It's also a key component in constructing the 'Life Tree School' knowledge system.

The groundbreaking knowledge tailored by Aiven for the sisters laid a solid foundation for their promotion to a Tier 3 Grand Wizard.

Systematic supporting knowledge centered around the 'Genetic Theory' absolutely had no possibility of failing the test of the 'Sea of World Consciousness'.

Plus, with the 'World's Favor' collected from outer space, completing the respective research was entirely within their capability.

After encouraging the sisters a few words, Aiven looked again at the founding disciple who was capable of handling matters independently:

"Angie, during the time I'm away, you are in charge, and I have two tasks for you.

First, based on the blood of the 'Thousand-Faced Moon', develop a targeted virus similar to the 'Gospel Church', as no one can guarantee whether the 'Thousand-Faced Moon' will choose the Duchy as its next target.

What the 'Crowned Wizard' can accomplish with 'Forbidden Curse', we can achieve just the same with a different method.

Second, since we have already monopolized the Spiritual Origin in the North, I'll leave the 'Crown of Miracles' with you. You are in charge of leading and helping your junior disciples grow as soon as possible."

Although a bit disappointed that she couldn't accompany Aiven on this outing, Angie still saluted earnestly:

"Alright, Teacher, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Aiven smiled and nodded. After years of hard work at the "Life Tree School," wasn't this day the one he had been waiting for?

Serra, Angie, Calvin, Jacob, Kael, Bach, Clareesa, and Leonara, Upper-Rank Wizards or those with the potential to advance to Tier 3 within the School, now numbered eight, plus the two exceptionally talented Outsider Apprentices, Bess and Midorra.

The candidates who could serve as the "Angels" guarding the [Ten Great Essences of the Life Tree], and take the first essence, the [Crown], were almost assembled.

[Genetic Theory], [Golden Chain], [Life Tree Diagram], [Evolution Theory], [Vaccine Theory], [Bioenergy Theory], [Molecular Evolution Clock]—these seven branches of knowledge.

Combined with an entire era's accumulation of the Life Tree School, it could almost support the embodiment of [Secondary Creation: Crown of Miracles].

Everything was ready, just waiting for the students to rise one by one to Upper-Rank Wizards and fill their respective paths into the Mysterious Source.

"It's just the right time to take this opportunity to visit the 'Broken Star Islands' and see what new and exciting discoveries this mysterious place might offer. No matter what, the project must be launched immediately upon return, time waits for no one."

In the Inheritance Secret Scroll "Flesh Sacrifice."

Whether studying Magic Potion, researching the human body, studying biology, studying Extraordinary Traits, researching inanimate objects, studying Spirit Bodies, or studying Creator's Blood...

The most fundamental path of the Life Tree School has always been clear, it has always been [Creation].

To transplant a part of the Creator's power onto oneself, giving birth to the core concept of "Creation of All Things."

Countless members of the school have gone forward generation after generation, spending an entire era to solve the questions of "What is the root of life, where does life come from?"

Finally, Aiven, this chief of an unknown generation, provided the answer:

The "Tree of Life" is the commonality connecting all life forms (including elemental life) on this planet, it is the primitive gene, the hereditary code rooted in the "bloodline," the original one.

The "Tree of Life" comes from all biological individuals and yet transcends them, it is one of the most fundamental attributes determining why something is it.

As he completed the "Life Tree" theory.

The "Mysterious Source" has granted him a new promotion ritual.

The most crucial prerequisite is to create from nothing an unprecedented "Intelligent Race," then guide them to establish a stable community for reproduction.

The so-called "Werwolves," "Faceless Men," although new species, are fundamentally human-based, merely indulging in graffiti on the original white canvas.

Now, it requires creating even the white canvas itself, and the creation must be an "Intelligent Race!"

Completely challenging the Creator's authority.

And as creators, Wizards would own their unique Beloved even at the Tier 4 "Crowned Wizard" level.

...

"Both of us going out, who will handle the governance?"

Olivia, busy approving countless confidential documents at her office, was initially delighted to hear Aiven's adventure invitation but then bit her red lips and expressed her concern unwillingly.

The depths of the "Broken Star Sea" bar teleportation, and the search mission would inevitably take considerable time; this growing household business was not like the past where they could leave so freely.

Moreover,

since the South fell into the hands of the Ancient God in disguise, the monopoly of Spiritual Origin by the Evil God's Followers could not be ignored.

Though rejected by the World Consciousness and unable to enjoy [World's Favor], there is no issue with slightly lower-level Spiritual Origins.

Even if it requires competition against many powerful Totem Gods and Evil Spirits, it's predictable that there will be a period of rapid strength increase.

In the realm of the extraordinary, there's little problem with Elder Sister, Serra, Nymph, and Angie, but in terms of secular governance, a supreme decision-maker must be present.

"Hehe, don't I have a father-in-law?"

Aiven had already planned to follow the Phaletis Cabinet system model, taking on the role of Parliament himself, establishing the "Duchy Government" responsible to him, and letting the [Spirit of Homeland Guardian: Inspector: Mountain Eagle] supervise the government.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, directly appointed by the Monarch as the head of state, would serve as the highest official responsible for the administrative system for a normal term of four years.

Low-level officials would completely rely on examinations for selection, and survival of the fittest; their performance would never escape the eyes of the [Mountain Eagle].

This visit is an excellent opportunity to implement the new political system.

"So, it's decided. My old father-in-law! Oh, and let's slip Uncle Gel into the cabinet; they are both part of the duchy—wherever needed, they fill in perfectly!"

Olivia teased with a light tsk and elbowed him gently, but she did not oppose.

Furthermore,

even the "Tulip speculation" bustling like wildfire is not urgent.

The objective rules of economic development are clear; with this world's communication and transportation situation, three months are far from when the "Tulip Craze" fully ferments. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Only around September this year, when it's really time to receive physical tulips, will it be the perfect opportunity to launch a backstab.

Thus, everything is ready!
