Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 629: GOD Virus Starts Working Again_1
"Sir Wang, is this standard acceptable?" a researcher in a white coat respectfully handed a data sheet to Wang Linchi.
Wang Linchi glanced at it. "It's almost there, but there's a slight issue here..." He circled the problem on the data sheet, directing the researcher to address it.
A year after Wang Linchi distributed the Ten-year Lifespan Elixir, he gained the full support of the laboratory and the entire Xing Country. This was especially true because, during that year, he had successively developed two more elixirs: a Five-year Lifespan Elixir and a Fifteen-year Lifespan Elixir.
At first glance, the Five-year Lifespan Elixir might seem like a regression. However, that wasn't the case. The five, ten, and fifteen-year lifespan elixirs could be stacked. Taking all three would directly grant a person thirty additional years of life, making them appear thirty years younger.
This resulted in the entire Xing Country High Level becoming rejuvenated, each member fit and strong, invigorating everyone.
Such a matter naturally couldn't be concealed from the public. Consequently, the Xing Country High Level could only release the Five-year Lifespan Elixir for sale, albeit at an extremely high price and with purchase limitations. The annual production was exceedingly limited, deliberately controlling its circulation.
Therefore, those who could obtain a Life Potion were either wealthy or noble. It was as if there was never any intention of letting the lower classes acquire them, which was the standard in Xing Country.
With these three types of Life Potions, Wang Linchi became the apple of the eye to the Xing Country High Level, who also revealed a vast amount of Xing Country's secrets to him. This included information about hidden world families, Cultivators, and the like.
With the issue of lifespan resolved, the Xing Country High Level now desired something else: power. If they could obtain the Superpowers of Metahumans, the Spells of Cultivators, and the Physique of Martial Artists, the entire landscape of Xing Country would change.
This crucial task naturally fell to Wang Linchi. After all, if he could create something as miraculous as Life Potions, then so-called Superpowers and Spells shouldn't pose a significant problem.
Wang Linchi accepted the mission without hesitation. He began researching a twenty-year life-extending potion while simultaneously conducting experiments on all Transcendent beings.
In a short period, he produced the first result: the Divine Evolution Elixir.
This elixir could provide comprehensive enhancement to humans. While it didn't grant Extraordinary Powers, it allowed individuals to possess physical fitness and mental fortitude far superior to ordinary people.
The Xing Country High Level was very satisfied with this result. Although they hadn't gained special powers, the overall enhancement was excellent.
However, what the Xing Country High Level did not know was that the Divine Evolution Elixir actually had a predecessor: the GOD virus. Although the original GOD virus had changed significantly after traversing numerous worlds and was no longer in its initial form, Wang Linchi had reproduced it based on his research from that time. In terms of effect, it was a genuine virus, not a Genetic Fluid.
"Sir Wang, the Prime Minister is here," Wang Linchi's assistant hurried over, interrupting him in a low voice.
Wang Linchi nodded. "Please show him in."
"No need for formalities, I'm already here." The Prime Minister also appeared remarkably young, his build made more robust by the Divine Evolution Elixir.
"Greetings, Prime Minister," Wang Linchi said, observing the proper etiquette, then added, "You may all leave now." With others present, it was not appropriate to discuss certain matters.
After everyone had withdrawn, the Prime Minister finally spoke. "How is it going? Has there been any progress with the Type 2 Divine Evolution Elixir?"
"There has been progress. It can even synergize with the life-extending potions for a corresponding boost, but..." Wang Linchi trailed off, hesitating.
"But what? Stop beating around the bush." Since his rejuvenation, the Prime Minister's mindset had progressively become more aggressive, reminiscent of his youth.
"None of you would be able to withstand the enhancements from the Type 2 elixir," Wang Linchi stated bluntly.
"What do you mean?" The Prime Minister frowned. He understood one thing: the Type 2 Divine Evolution Elixir had been developed, but they couldn't use it. Beyond that, however, he was lost.
"Type 2 will elevate you all to a level comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and also grant you a powerful Innate Superpower. However, this transformation is so potent that your life force may not withstand it," Wang Linchi explained, a helpless expression on his face.
The Prime Minister quickly identified the key elements in Wang Linchi's statement: Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Innate Superpower, insufficient life force.
The cultivation path for Cultivators in this world followed the stages of Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.
"You're saying this because you must have a solution," the Prime Minister quickly realized. Wang Linchi didn't seem overly worried, which meant he likely had a way to resolve it.
"According to my extrapolated data, it can be sustained using a Life Force Field," Wang Linchi introduced another term that left the Prime Minister somewhat puzzled.
"If a person consumes a Five-year Lifespan Elixir and a Type 1 Divine Evolution Elixir, their life force will condense and form a Life Force Field."
"This Life Force Field, due to the convergence of individuals possessing a Life Force Field, will form a massive new Life Force Field."
"If you all are within a Life Force Field with an energy level equivalent to one hundred thousand people when injecting the Type 2 elixir, any deficiency in life force during the transformation can be compensated by drawing from the larger Life Force Field."
"This way, the transformation can be completed safely."
Wang Linchi's words sent the Prime Minister into deep thought. This meant that everyone in Xing Country would have to be injected with the Five-year Lifespan Elixir and the Type 1 Divine Evolution Elixir. This would not be a small expenditure. Even though the cost of these two elixirs was very low, the sheer quantity would make the total cost substantial.
"If others inject the Type 2 elixir later, will it affect us?" The Prime Minister didn't ask if absorbing energy from the larger Life Force Field would affect their bodies; he already knew the answer would be yes. He was more concerned about himself.
"Of course not. After reaching Type 2, you will be immune to the Life Force Field absorption effect of Type 1," Wang Linchi stated without hesitation.
"So, if we can always stay one version ahead, we can ignore the influence of lower-level Life Force Fields?" the Prime Minister asked again.
"Correct. Furthermore, after reaching Type 2, you all will even be able to draw upon the vast Life Force Field to augment yourselves and gain additional power," Wang Linchi added, offering another temptation.
"Regarding the Type 1 elixir, can the spiritual power enhancement be removed, solely increasing physical attributes?" the Prime Minister inquired further.
"Well... it's possible, but the cost would increase slightly." Of course, Wang Linchi knew what the Prime Minister was thinking. If the lower classes also mastered Extraordinary Power, what would happen if they decided to overthrow their rulers? Therefore, it was best if the distributed elixirs were a neutered version.
"The cost is not a concern. Would it affect the strength of the Life Force Field?" The Prime Minister was, as always, more concerned about himself.
"I'm not entirely sure yet; further experiments are needed. However, it's likely there would be an effect, given that the Life Force Field is intrinsically linked to an individual," Wang Linchi replied cautiously, avoiding a definitive statement.
The Prime Minister naturally had few objections to this. He nodded. "I will present the relevant proposals tomorrow. Just do your best, Wang." He knew Wang Linchi couldn't achieve everything; having these results already was quite commendable. Demanding too much could lead to mishaps, and the losses would outweigh the gains. However, he also had to return and discuss this matter with the other members of the Xing Country High Level.
"Alright, I will give it my all," Wang Linchi replied, then asked, "Regarding the Type 2 Divine Evolution Elixir, I imagine those Transcendent factions won't be too pleased to see us succeed, will they?"
"You don't need to worry about that," the Prime Minister sneered. They coveted these powers but also feared them. Fortunately, the Xing Country High Level also possessed the means to counter them. "A vast number of Xing Country's missiles are aimed at the three Great Vehicle Period Cultivators, the five Grandmaster Warriors, and the one SSS-rank Metahuman."
"They do indeed possess the ability to counter conventional weapons, but under missile saturation, they will be severely injured, if not killed."
Indeed, Great Vehicle Period Cultivators could be injured by missiles; they were essentially low-tier Cultivators in this context.
The high World Energy Level of this world wasn't manifested in its Transcendent population but rather in its numerous protagonists.
For instance, Grandmaster Warriors achieved Shattering the Void, Cultivators underwent Tribulation Ascension, and Metahumans performed Spatial Dimension Upgrades. Essentially, to continue advancing, one had to venture to other worlds.
And venturing to other worlds was akin to being sold as a commodity.
This place was merely a starting zone; to continue advancing, one had to go to other worlds.
It was for this reason that Xing Country could firmly maintain control, forcing these Transcendent individuals to remain hidden among ordinary people, preventing them from baring their fangs.
