Having gotten the answer, the Spirit Pagoda member finally let out a sigh of relief, "Then Pagoda Master, if you have no further instructions, I will take my leave first!"
Thankfully, the Pagoda Master had only ordered the undercover agent embedded in Shrek Academy to monitor the group of Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and not to interfere with them!
Gu Yuena did not respond, seemingly giving her tacit consent…
Seeing this, the former gestured and also turned to leave…
Only after he vanished from her sight did Gu Yuena call out into the empty space with a soft voice, "Di Tian!"
Though there was no one else there, her powerful spiritual power could easily carry her voice…
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Di Tian entered the Council Hall…
Gazing at Gu Yuena before him, he respectfully began, "Your Majesty!"
The former nodded slightly, "Di Tian, was it you who sent someone to inform me just now?"
Di Tian was startled for a moment, then affirmed without admitting or denying, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"The group of researchers in the lab have now completely abandoned the operation, no matter how much I explain, they refuse to believe it!"
"This is really the last resort, hence the drastic measure!"
It seemed that Her Majesty had already been aware of the situation, so there was no need for him to say anything superfluous!
Gu Yuena did not seem to care, "It doesn't matter; I should have visited the research facility months ago, but I kept delaying until now!"
Di Tian continued, "Then Your Majesty, when you go there... how do you plan to solve the problem? Those people are not going to change their minds just because of a few words!"
"They are even complaining to me all the time!"
Little did he know, Gu Yuena just glanced at him and said, "Actually, I already have some clues about how Artificial Spirit Beasts could gain reproductive ability!"
Di Tian was first taken aback, then suddenly realized and excitedly exclaimed, "What? Is that true? If so, that would be great!"
Truly deserving of being the Majesty, while so many scientists racked their brains without any clue, she had already found a lead so quickly!
And, based on his understanding, it was most likely not just a clue, but she had thought of a solution!
Gu Yuena somewhat helplessly said, "Di Tian, don't be too excited just yet, I said it's only a clue, it may not be successful!"
If it were that easy to solve, the researchers wouldn't be at a loss!
To this, Di Tian cast a trusting glance, "I believe in Your Majesty's abilities!"
Gu Yuena smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Di Tian, that is blind trust."
"However, I don't dislike it!"
Having absolute trust from her subordinate was an honor for her, the leader of the Soul Beast Clan…
"All right, enough chitchat. Prepare yourself; you're coming with me to the research center!"
…
Inside the research center!
All the researchers were gathered together, discussing something with each other…
"What do you think, if we follow the previous scheme for modification, is it possible for Artificial Spirit Beasts to gain reproductive ability?"
"No way, no way, the likelihood of Artificial Spirit Beasts gaining reproductive ability through that method is next to nothing."
"Exactly, all the methods we previously thought of were useless, to achieve it by merely modifying that area is complete wishful thinking!"
"Damn it, even though we've managed to create Artificial Spirit Beasts, we're still stuck on the issue of reproductive ability, it's really frustrating!"
"What good is frustration? We've done all we can, it's basically certain now that Artificial Spirit Beasts cannot have reproductive ability, unless there is individual intervention."
"But that would go against the Pagoda Master's ideas, forget it, I don't want to think anymore, my head is going to explode!"
The members of the Spirit Pagoda responsible for guarding the place also showed helpless expressions...
"Should we stop them? This is supposed to be a place for scientific research, but now it's as noisy as a vegetable market!"
"Better not, our status is nowhere near that of these science talents, be careful not to offend them, we won't be able to handle the consequences!"
"Shush...someone has already gone to report to the Pagoda Master, all we need to do is stay here. As for what they say, just pretend you didn't hear anything!"
Just then, Gu Yuena appeared unexpectedly before them and asked, "What are you discussing?"
Di Tian naturally followed behind her...
Seeing this, everyone stiffened, unconsciously straightening their chests...
"Pagoda... Pagoda Master, we weren't saying anything, just unsure how to deal with the current situation in the research center!"
With just a glance inside, Gu Yuena understood what they meant...
She immediately ordered, "You don't need to worry about these issues, just focus on guarding this place."
Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter, their faces all lightened up, "Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Worthy of being the Pagoda Master, her magnanimity is truly broad!
Having received an answer, Gu Yuena also directly bypassed them and entered the research center...
The research staff who were arguing before fell silent at her arrival...
They hadn't expected her to come at this time!
Seeing this, Gu Yuena swept her gaze over everyone present, "What is it? The atmosphere was quite lively just now, but it's suddenly become so quiet with my arrival."
"Could it be that you don't wish to see me, your Pagoda Master?"
The leading researcher hurried to explain, "Pagoda Master, you jest, it is our hope that you would come!"
"Everyone agrees, right??"
Upon hearing this, the others quickly nodded in agreement...
"That's right, that's right, we've been waiting for the Pagoda Master to come, we sent someone to pass the message, but there was no response!"
Gu Yuena's expression showed no change, "Is that so? But how come I heard that you all are complaining about no progress in the research, and some even chose to give up?"
At these words, they all showed sheepish expressions...
Indeed, they had all but given up on this research...
After all, enabling an Artificial Spirit Beast to possess reproductive ability was an utterly impossible task!
Gu Yuena pursed her lips, knowing that what she needed to do now was to stimulate their enthusiasm for the research...
"I'm not going to waste my words with you, actually, during this period, I've had some inklings on how to enable Artificial Spirit Beasts to possess reproductive abilities!"
This statement immediately caused a drastic change in the expressions of those present, as though they had heard something unbelievable...
"What?? Pagoda Master, you've actually thought of a way? This isn't an illusion, is it?"
"How is that possible, none of us could solve it, even if you are the Pagoda Master, I'm afraid it's unlikely!"
"Worthy of being the Pagoda Master, indeed impressive, to actually have thought of a method!!"
"Pagoda Master, please do share your thoughts with us, perhaps, it could provide some inspiration!"
