However, despite saying so, the researchers' faces still looked somewhat ashen…
There was no doubt that granting artificial soul beasts the ability to reproduce was a colossal challenge for them!!
It was even no less difficult than creating artificial soul beasts in the first place!!
Bi Ji's brows knitted tightly together, seemingly surprised by how muted the reaction of these people was…
Unable to hold back, she spoke up again, "What? Do you not have confidence?"
The researchers exchanged glances and sighed, "Councilor Bi Ji, regarding this matter, we indeed do not have much confidence; after all, there hasn't been any significant research on the reproductive abilities of artificial soul beasts!"
"That's right, this is not any easier than creating artificial soul beasts at all!!"
"Although we would like to promise with certainty, this matter is genuinely complex, and it would likely take a great deal of time to achieve any results!!"
"Everyone, don't be so downhearted. We've already created the most challenging artificial soul beasts, it's just a matter of granting these artificial soul beasts reproductive capabilities, surely it's not as difficult as imagined!!"
"Yes, yes, as long as everyone here works together, this problem will naturally be solved effortlessly!!"
Seeing this, Bi Ji also chimed in, "As he said, we've already overcome the most difficult step in the research; are you willing to give up just like that??"
"I believe that if you all join hands, you will undoubtedly resolve it!"
Upon hearing this, the researchers then began to show a flicker of confidence…
The man leading them took a deep breath and said seriously, "Fine, since the Pagoda Master trusts us so much, we cannot let her down!!"
"Starting today, everyone will set aside other research and think wholeheartedly about how to grant artificial soul beasts the ability to reproduce!!"
Bi Ji finally let out a sigh of relief…
No matter what, she had managed to stir up the confidence of these researchers!
As for whether they could succeed, that was beyond her influence!
With this thought, she waved her hand and indicated, "Alright, everyone go back to your positions and start working!!"
After saying this, she was about to leave…
But the leading man suddenly called out to her…
"Councilor Bi Ji, please wait a moment!"
Bi Ji stopped in her tracks, puzzled, "Is there something else? If it's about research resources, you need not worry!"
The former shook his head, his expression solemn, "It's not that, I naturally believe that the Spirit Pagoda will not be stingy with research resources. It's just that I have a question regarding this research!"
Bi Ji was not impatient, nodding for him to continue, "Let's hear it!!"
Without beating around the bush, the man asked frankly, "Why does the Pagoda Master value this research so much?? To be honest, with Artificial Spirit Souls already available, there's absolutely no necessity to develop artificial soul beast technology to this extent!"
"What exactly is the purpose behind all this!"
He was certainly not naive enough to believe any absurd answer like humans living in harmony with soul beasts!!
Bi Ji fell silent…
Seemingly reading his mind, the man apologized somewhat, "Councilor Bi Ji, if this question troubles you, then pretend I never asked it!"
To his surprise, Bi Ji suddenly answered, "You should know the true identity of us councilors, right?"
In other powers, her and Di Tian's identities had long been exposed!
And these researchers serving the Spirit Pagoda naturally would be aware!
The man was taken aback and answered truthfully, "Yes… everyone in the Spirit Pagoda should know that you, Di Tian, and other councilors, even the Pagoda Master, are actually ferocious beasts!"
For him, this was no longer a secret!
Bi Ji pursed her lips, "Since you are aware of this point, there's no harm in telling you the true purpose of this research!"
"The reason we are fully developing the technology for Artificial Spirit Beasts is to allow the extinct Soul Beast Clan to reappear in this world!"
The former's pupils shrunk, "Then what about the initial claim of enabling humans and soul beasts to coexist harmonously?"
Reviving the Soul Beast Clan?
Doesn't that mean challenging the status quo where humans are the rulers of this Continent?
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji couldn't help but look directly at the other person, "Of course, that is also one of the goals, but whether it can be achieved is not something that just anyone can decide!"
"You should be clear about the reasons, right?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand now, thank you, Councilor Bi Ji, for your explanation!"
Bi Ji found it increasingly interesting, "Now that you know, don't you oppose it?"
Logically speaking, normal Soul Masters would not allow soul beasts to replace humans as the overlords of the Continent!
"Oppose? Why oppose? The extermination of the Soul Beast Clan was originally a mistake in the history of Soul Masters!"
"All of this is merely correcting a wrong, and I believe not just me, but everyone here involved in the research feels the same way!"
...
Sea God's Pavilion!
Xie Xie sighed listlessly, "How come right after the hellish training ends, we have to have a Sea God's Pavilion meeting again? I don't even know how many times it's been this month!"
Yuanen Yehui, standing beside him, reminded, "Xie Xie, we are in the Sea God's Pavilion, be serious!"
Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders, "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you, Ye Hui!"
Ye Xinglan looked towards Cai Yue'er and asked, "So, Elder Cai, what is the reason for calling all the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion this time?"
Usually, it was the latter who convened the Sea God's Pavilion meetings!
Cai Yue'er, however, shook her head, "This time, the meeting of the Elders wasn't convened by me, but was ordered by the Pavilion Master!"
She never expected that Tang Wulin would take the initiative to convene a Sea God's Pavilion meeting!!
Yue Zhengyu propped his chin, pondering, "Then where is Wulin? How come he's calling a Sea God's Pavilion meeting without being here himself?"
Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "Maybe he was held up by something, I saw him this morning!"
Xu Lizhi muttered, "Since Wulin has convened a meeting of the Sea God's Pavilion, it must be about something important, so let's all wait patiently a bit longer!"
Upon these words, the opinions of the group became unified, deciding to wait a while longer...
Sure enough, dozens of minutes later, Tang Wulin appeared within the Sea God's Pavilion...
After taking his seat at the head of the room, he began, "I apologize for making everyone wait, I got held up by some matters!"
Yuanen Zhentian was the first to interrupt, "Wulin, let's skip the formalities, just tell us the reason you convened this Sea God's Pavilion meeting!"
Cai Yue'er also echoed, "Yes, everyone has been waiting for a while, let's get straight to the point!"
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll spare the pleasantries!"
"Regarding the end of the hellish training for the inner court students, I believe it's time to deploy a group to investigate the Douling Empire!"
