Research Lab!
Upon seeing Gu Yuena's figure, all the researchers clad in white robes cast their gazes her way, then promptly continued with their tasks…
It wasn't that they didn't respect the latter, but the current progress of the research was very important, and there was no time to waste!!
Gu Yuena also approached one of the researchers with an indifferent expression and asked, "How is the progress?"
Upon hearing this, the latter pushed up their glasses and answered, "Pagoda Master, the current research has reached the final stage. If successful, the revival rate of soul beasts could compare to that of Spirit Souls!"
In simple terms, once the research was completely finished, the speed of reviving soul beasts would be as fast as producing Spirit Souls!!
At that time, the Soul Beast Clan would completely rise!!
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and asked once more, "Not bad, have you encountered any other difficulties during this period?"
Normally, she would only get involved if there was an insurmountable difficulty in the research!
At other times, the research was left to these scientists to manage…
The former shook their head in denial, "Not at all, everything has been going very smoothly after your last explanation!"
"However, Pagoda Master, why are we so persistent in reviving the technology of soul beasts?"
This was a question that all Spirit Pagoda researchers couldn't understand…
Gu Yuena fell silent…
After a few seconds, she spoke, "Because in this world, soul beasts and humans should not slaughter each other but rather coexist for mutual benefit!"
"I want to create a world where soul beasts and humans live together peacefully!"
This researcher seemed thoughtful and nodded slightly, then said again, "But whether they are of the same kind or different, the nature of soul beasts is very brutal, making it very difficult to live peacefully with humans!"
Gu Yuena pursed her lips, "It's true, but these soul beasts are created by us. With proper nurture, we can erase their beastliness"
"I have always believed that soul beasts and humans are on the same level!"
She couldn't deny the brutality of soul beasts, but with effort, there must be a way to solve it!
The former seemed to have understood her painstaking efforts, and their expression became resolute, "I understand your determination, Pagoda Master. I will also do my best to make the technology for reviving soul beasts perfect!!"
Gu Yuena gave an affirming look, "Mhm, I believe in you. You've been managing this research for so long; it's been tough."
"If there's anything you want, just say it. The Spirit Pagoda will do its best to accommodate you!"
The researcher took a deep breath, "If possible, once this technology is successfully completed, I want to leave the Spirit Pagoda!"
The incessant research had taken a great toll on their body and mind…
Gu Yuena was momentarily stunned but did not refuse, "Alright, I promise you. Once the research is completed, you can leave the Spirit Pagoda, and moreover, be granted endless wealth!"
"And in the future, should you encounter any difficulties, you may seek help from the Spirit Pagoda!!"
The former's face lit up, and they nodded, "Then I shall thank the Pagoda Master in advance!!"
Gu Yuena casually replied, "No need to thank me; you deserve it!"
Even she didn't know whether the plan to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan would be successful!
If it failed, the price would be the disappearance of the Spirit Pagoda from the Continent!!
By then, the fate of these Spirit Pagoda members…
"Pagoda Master, do you have any other matters? If not, I will continue with the research!"
With Gu Yuena's approval, he was now very motivated!
Gu Yuena shook her head, "No more, you continue with the research. Oh, and tell the others that the promise just now is valid for them too!"
"Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Having received a response, Gu Yuena didn't linger any longer. After a brief inspection, she left...
...
Federation Headquarters!
The Chairman, leading the discussion, addressed the Council Members present, "Spirit Pagoda has already ceased tracking the squad we dispatched; they must know it was just a diversion to attract their attention!"
"Next, they will likely focus all their efforts on gathering information about the federation!"
Upon hearing this, the other Council Members weighed in, "Hmph, even if they find out now, it's too late. The plan to reconstruct God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles has already begun!"
"That's right, this time our defenses have become much more impenetrable; even if there are still Spirit Pagoda members within us, it won't make a difference."
"This time, we must flatten the Spirit Pagoda with God-Slaying Level soul-guided artillery shells and eliminate the threat for good!"
However, one of the Council Members interjected, "Chairman, I think Spirit Pagoda's current target might not be us."
Chairman, puzzled, asked, "Why would you say that?"
The former's eyes flickered as he spoke again, "Let's not forget that the Vice Tower Master of Spirit Pagoda recently died in the Douling Empire, and that Gu Yuena had a close relationship with them. She will likely prioritize investigating the cause of death!"
"If it's related to the Douling Empire, things might become troublesome!"
The Chairman, chin in hand, contemplated, "Hmm... indeed, but what makes you think Spirit Pagoda hasn't figured out the situation?"
The Council Member was at a loss for words, "Well... that was just a suggestion, the Chairman can't rule out this possibility, can he?"
The Chairman raised a hand to stop him, speaking sternly, "I indeed can't refute your point, but I still hope everyone prepares for the worst!"
"Because if anything goes wrong with the God-Slaying Level soul-guided artillery shells, the entire federation will face problems. Do you understand what I mean?"
Even knowing that the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles were in the preliminary stages of excavation and development...
He still remained calm, not daring to be the slightest bit careless!
The former opened his mouth but then sat down, burying his head and apologizing, "Sorry, Chairman, I didn't mean anything by what I said, it's just that I thought we needed to be cautious!"
The Chairman's mood softened a bit, "It doesn't matter, as long as you understand my point!"
Afterward, he turned his gaze back to the other Council Members...
"I know everyone has their thoughts, but now please base your actions on my thoughts!"
The Council Members also understood his point of view and nodded in agreement...
...
As the meeting concluded and the Chairman was about to leave, the Council Member who had raised the question earlier called out to him...
"Chairman, wait a moment!"
The Chairman turned his head to look at him, asking in confusion, "What is it? Is there something else?"
The other nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Chairman, there is another matter I think I should tell you about!"
The Chairman, quite curious, inquired, "What's the matter?"
The Council Member took a deep breath and continued, "In fact, in addition to Spirit Pagoda's Vice Tower Master dying in the Douling Empire, the Douling Empire Imperial Palace was also attacked by the Ghost Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the Chairman exclaimed in shock, "What?? When did this happen!"
These two incidents, even he was unaware of them, let alone when they had occurred!
