Chapter 3384: Di Tian's Idea
The next day!
Di Tian made his way into the rest area...
Looking at Gu Yuena in front of him, he was the first to speak, "My lord, I have matters to report to you!"
The lord's complexion had clearly improved a lot today, and it was time to tell her about the occurrences!
Otherwise, it might delay the plan!
Gu Yuena glanced at him, "Di Tian, you've arrived quite early. Did you come over immediately after seeing me awake?"
She had just arrived at the rest area, and he had followed right after, obviously having noticed early on!
Di Tian boldly admitted, "Please forgive me, my lord. Indeed, I had ordered people to report your condition to me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena wasn't angry but dismissed it with a wave of her hand, "Never mind, I am used to it."
"So, what is it you need to report? Speak frankly!"
Although her mood had eased a lot, she was not that patient!
Di Tian nodded, "Yes, my lord."
"Actually, just yesterday, there were some issues at the Spirit Pagoda's research lab!"
Gu Yuena was somewhat puzzled, "Research lab? What kind of issues? Is it that they're under too much pressure and wish to cease their work?"
She indeed had issued quite a few orders recently...
It would be normal for the research personnel to feel significant pressure and express their displeasure!
Di Tian shook his head, refuting, "No... that's not it. The research staff are not unwilling to conduct the research, but rather because their numerous experiments have all ended in failure, leading to despondency."
"Furthermore, they all believe that it is impossible for Artificial Spirit Beasts to obtain breeding capabilities and have applied to cancel this line of research!"
"For this reason, they have asked me to inform you, my lord!"
Gu Yuena understood and sighed, "So, what you're saying is... the experiment to grant Artificial Spirit Beasts reproductive capabilities has made no progress at all, correct?"
Although she had anticipated it, she didn't expect it to truly be the case!
She couldn't say that she wasn't disappointed!
Di Tian pursed his lips and did not deny, "Yes, my lord."
Seeing this, Gu Yuena spoke again, "Our Soul Beast Clan wishes to reemerge in this world, and breeding capability is indispensable!"
"If we cease the research now, all our efforts will have been in vain!"
"Di Tian, what do you think we should do?"
She truly felt worn out both mentally and physically now, unsure of what to do next!
Seemingly sensing something, Di Tian's attitude softened...
"My lord... I believe you needn't subject yourself to such immense pressure. Perhaps, Artificial Spirit Beasts don't necessarily need to use breeding capabilities to create the next generation!"
Gu Yuena furrowed her brow, "Di Tian, what do you mean?"
Di Tian answered truthfully, "Using the technology of Artificial Spirit Beasts, can't we also make soul beasts reappear in the world?"
"But in that case, the extinction of Artificial Spirit Beasts is just a matter of time!"
Di Tian shook his head, explaining, "That's not the case, my lord. As long as we ensure that this technology is passed down, then the Soul Beast Clan will continue to exist in another form!"
"Besides, we won't have to worry about being slaughtered by humans!"
Originally, he had not agreed with this view, but after much reflection during this period, he believed that the technology of Artificial Spirit Beasts could indeed enable the Soul Beast Clan to endure!
This statement seemed to anger Gu Yuena, "Di Tian!"
"If we go by your line of thinking, wouldn't it suffice to just share the technology of creating Artificial Spirit Beasts with all humans?"
"If that's the case, then everything since the advent of Artificial Spirit Beast technology has been nothing but a waste of time,"
Di Tian also sensed the anger in the former's words and said again, "Your Highness, please calm your anger. I was merely making a suggestion, not insisting that it must be so!"
However, Gu Yuena interrupted him again, "I could never agree to such a method. A soul beast without the ability to reproduce is not a true soul beast at all!"
What she wanted were Artificial Spirit Beasts as close to normal soul beasts as possible!
Not flawed, defective imitations!!
Di Tian took a deep breath, "Your Highness... I understand. Then I will tell those researchers to continue their research!"
Gu Yuena slowly closed her eyes, "Hmm, go ahead with that, and if there's nothing else, you may leave!"
She feared that if she kept talking, she would be unable to control her emotions!
But Di Tian did not leave in a hurry and continued, "Your Highness, actually, there is another matter regarding the soul beast forest!"
Gu Yuena said, without any expression, "Speak!"
Di Tian maintained his composure, "It seems that the soul beast forest has been invaded by outsiders!"
Gu Yuena casually asked, "The soul beast forest? Isn't it guarded by the Thousand Demon King?"
Di Tian affirmed, "It is indeed guarded by the Thousand Demon King, but according to him, the intruder is a Hyper Douluo level powerhouse!"
Gu Yuena pressed, "So, does that mean the intruder has been killed by the Thousand Demon King?"
The fact that someone would forcefully break into the soul beast forest wasn't surprising!
After all, she had sent so many Tongling Tower Soul Masters there; it was bound to attract attention!
Di Tian's expression grew colder, "No, although the intruder was severely injured, he managed to leave!"
"It seems to be Xie Xie from the Shrek Seven Monsters who rescued him!"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes flickered slightly, "Xie Xie?"
"If it's him, given the capability of the Thousand Demon King, indeed there's no stopping him!"
The Thousand Demon King's strength primarily lay in controlling the plants in the environment, while Xie Xie could boast the greatest speed, putting him in a situation where he was completely countered!
If it really came down to a life-or-death battle, Xie Xie would likely be the victor!
However, no matter who won, one side would die, and that was something she did not wish to see!
After a pause, she spoke again, "Nevermind, as long as he didn't do anything in the soul beast forest, let him escape!"
But she had a faint premonition that Xie Xie wouldn't have come especially to rescue a nearly fallen Super Douluo for no reason!
Perhaps his goal was also to ascertain the reason behind the sealing of the soul beast forest!
That would mean Xie Xie might return to the soul beast forest!
Thinking of this, she looked towards Di Tian and reminded him, "Di Tian, have the Thousand Demon King be on alert. Based on what I know of Xie Xie, it's very likely he will attempt to infiltrate the soul beast forest again!"
The secret that Artificial Spirit Beasts cannot reproduce is bound to be exposed, but it can't happen too soon!
Di Tian nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Highness, I will dispatch a ferocious beast there later, so even if it's that Xie Xie, he will have to weigh his own strength before trying to infiltrate the soul beast forest!"
He had a general understanding of the strength of the Shrek Seven Monsters, so he was well aware that a single ferocious beast would have a hard time contending with them!
Fortunately, the Spirit Pagoda's combat power was not scarce nowadays, and they could afford to deploy two ferocious beasts to guard it!
Gu Yuena responded offhandedly, "Mmm... I'm entrusting this matter to you; make sure that this information stays hidden for as long as possible!!"
