Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

"Huh? You mean the spirit ring system?"

The Martial Soul system is the soul of martial arts, a transcendent system with great potential, and has nothing to do with the crudely made Soul Ring system that can even make mortals manifest.

I've heard that even the reincarnated God King from the Soul Ring world still uses mortal cultivation techniques, which gives you an idea of ​​just how low the energy level of that world is.

......

After the introduction, even Luo Tian had to admit that although the Third Research Institute was a Frankenstein's monster, it was still technically sophisticated, and some of its features surprised him.

During He Mo's introduction, Shuang Ye gradually calmed down from her initial unease.

The institute's performance perfectly aligned with her understanding of the path to godhood. Although the method of stitching was indeed despicable, it was not without its innovations.

Thinking of this, Shuangye couldn't help but glance at Luo Tian, ​​preparing to wait for his response.

He Mo led the two to a huge space again. The space was filled with neatly arranged wooden spirit tablets, with the inscriptions clearly recording the time and some events.

"In the year 5744 of the Great Yin Dynasty, in memory of the magical falcon that sacrificed itself in the dissection of the 24th Spell Position Trial."

"In the year 5795 of the Great Yin Dynasty, in memory of the Demon Hunter Ape who sacrificed himself in the ninety-seventh metallized skeleton research."

......

Each memorial tablet clearly records these contents, including a small number of extraordinary individuals who voluntarily sacrificed their lives for experiments.

Seeing this scene before him, Shuangye's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

No one cares about the life or death of the supernatural beings in the experiment, but the Third Research Institute still erected memorial tablets for them in commemoration, a spirit that is truly admirable.

Just as Shuangye was about to offer her praise, she heard Luo Tian speak first.

"The Third Research Institute, which is so large, aims to study the path to godhood, but it has only conducted a handful of human experiments, spanning decades. I am truly worried about its lack of professionalism!"

At Luo Tian's words, He Mo's expression suddenly stiffened.

Then, He Mo forced a smile and said:

"Sir, you are overthinking it. The reason we conduct very few human trials is because we have a comprehensive research system that can simulate human behavior to the greatest extent possible..."

Before He Mo could finish his explanation, Luo Tian waved his hand to interrupt him.

Looking intently at He Mo, Luo Tian said in a deep voice:

"Director He should know the true value of the three secret manuals of the immortal civilization, especially the last one, the Great Evolution Transformation Impermanence Sword Technique, which is an immortal cultivation method that touches the threshold of the True Immortal Realm, which is even closer to the True God. Its value is immeasurable."

If that's all there is to it, how can you put my mind at ease?

He Mo gritted his teeth, his expression shifting constantly.

Ultimately, however, the preciousness of the immortal scriptures outweighed his desire to conceal them.

He raised his head again, and that comical smile returned to his face.

"Sir, you are joking. We certainly have no shortage of that type of experiment here."

Shuangye's face showed shock, but Luo Tian had anticipated this and calmly pointed to the spirit tablet in the room, asking:

"Then why are there no memorial tablets for other test subjects here?"

He Mo wore a wronged expression, as if he were complaining to Luo Tian.

But the words he spoke sent a chill down one's spine.

"Mr. Luo, those are all consumables! Who would bother to keep track of exactly how many consumables were used?"

Chapter Ninety-Five: Crocodile Tears!

Frosty Night felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in that instant.

Looking at He Mo's comical smile again, she seemed to see the cruelty and tyranny hidden beneath that comical facade.

Just half a minute ago, Shuangye was still moved by everything before her eyes.

The fact that researchers are willing to leave memorial plaques for every supernatural being who dies in experiments is a precious example of respect for life in this bloody and brutal world of supernatural beings.

But just two sentences from He Mo pulled her back to the cold reality.

She stared blankly at He Mo, and asked her question with a hint of hope in her heart.

What are consumables?

He Mo ignored Shuang Ye's words. He had already roughly figured out that Luo Tian was the one in control between the two, and Shuang Ye was at most a matchmaker in the guise of a palace maid.

Now that the matchmaking is over, the real initiative is still in Luo Tian's hands.

Luo Tian nodded without any change in expression, gesturing for He Mo to explain to Shuang Ye. Only then did He Mo speak with a gentle smile:

"The so-called consumables are just materials that are consumed in large quantities during experiments."

Because the key research area of ​​our Third Research Institute is the extraordinary system, and only humans can support such systems, a large number of ordinary people will be used as consumable materials.

"The demand for these materials is too enormous to be counted, so we only made spirit tablets for those extraordinary creatures; ordinary consumables were not included in the calculation."

At this point, He Mo seemed to realize that doing so was indeed somewhat unethical, so he added:

"However, please rest assured, Your Excellency, all our supplies are registered and come from ordinary humans captured from other dimensions."

Even the superhumans used in subsequent experiments were mostly transmigrators from other worlds and slaves captured from other planes.

Under the supervision of the Grand Duke of the North Wind, we strictly adhere to the regulations and will absolutely not use Imperial citizens!

However, He Mo's supplementary explanation could not deceive even the naive Shuang Ye.

The citizens of the Empire are well aware that interdimensional teleportation is extremely costly. Some colonies even have annual limits on the number of people that can be teleported. In many cases, the Empire cannot even guarantee the teleportation of its army, let alone the large-scale teleportation of interdimensional slaves.

Moreover, dimensional slaves have always been known for their rarity; whether they are orc slaves or elven slaves, they are highly sought-after treasures by many powerful and wealthy individuals.

No interdimensional merchant would be foolish enough to pay a huge price to send slaves to the Star World just to provide consumables for the Third Research Institute.

In this way, the source of these consumables becomes clear: what could be more suitable than the people in the remote areas of the empire to be used as consumables?

Moreover, He Mo mentioned the Duke of Beifeng in his words. This Duke, who governs the Fengqi Plain in the northern border of the Dayin Empire, has countless subjects and has always been known for his cruelty.

The Grand Duke of the North Wind still retains a privilege in his territory that countless new nobles envy: the right to strip his subjects of their citizenship.

It will not harm the citizens of the Great Yin Empire, but those who have been stripped of their citizenship by the Duke of Beifeng are naturally not included.

Whether or not one is a citizen of the Empire is not a matter of a single word.

Moreover, with hundreds of millions of people living on the Windrise Plains in the North, who would notice if a few hundred or a thousand people disappeared every year?

The cold reality awakened Shuangye's memories, and she recalled what Luo Tian had said to her before she got off the bus.

"Don't make any moves before I do it, or I'll have Qianyu take you back."

Anger surged within her, and Shuangye's right hand, gloved in white, trembled slightly as she struggled to suppress the murderous intent that was about to spread.

Shuangye's gaze fell on Luo Tian, ​​and she couldn't help but think.

"He told me so confidently not to act rashly, did he already know about these dirty and sordid things happening within the Third Research Institute?"

Luo Tian was unaware of Shuang Ye's thoughts, and he only had a general guess about the events within the Third Research Institute.

However, this is not a baseless speculation. To some extent, it was almost inevitable that the Third Research Institute would deteriorate to this point.

The powerful and wealthy placed greater importance on the path to godhood than anything else. They were the representatives of the imperial law, and the law could not restrain them. Mere ethics and morality were of no use to them.

They will use every means to accelerate the path to godhood.

Within the Third Research Institute, the first generation of researchers, bound by ethical and moral constraints, may have been able to conduct experiments while upholding the principle of respecting life.

Without legal constraints, and with the powerful and wealthy providing resources without limit, the researchers at the Third Research Institute's subsequent disregard for human life became an inevitable outcome.

In such an environment, the ugliness that human nature can unleash will absolutely exceed the comprehension of ordinary people.

They would pray for the death of supernatural beings, and even set up memorial tablets for them, because supernatural beings were extremely rare experimental subjects relative to the vast number of consumables.

They would bow to these test subjects, using a morbid self-comforting mentality to tell everyone about their respect for life.

In reality, however, they were nothing more than cold-blooded executioners.

This development is inevitable. For example, in the United States, despite seemingly strict laws, official laboratories still managed to spread the virus directly into cities, making countless people victims.

On the battlefield, a certain beastly unit also conducted various inhumane experiments in an extreme manner. They showed mercy to the lab rats, but had no compassion for human beings.

Various facts prove that only the law can, to some extent, limit these absurd experiments.

When the law is no longer in place, unimaginable evils are unleashed.

His gaze fell on He Mo's smiling face, but Luo Tian's eyes were devoid of warmth as he said indifferently:

"Would Director He be willing to demonstrate your institute's actual research findings?"

He Mo carefully observed Luo Tian, ​​but he didn't see any disgust or murderous intent in Luo Tian's eyes. Luo Tian's indifference far exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, the demonic sword beside Luo Tian exuded an aura of destruction and death, proving that he was not a benevolent person. The temptation of becoming a god would not lead him to act as a moral guardian.

After all, most of the extraordinary beings in the Star World are pragmatic. Who would give up the enormous benefits that a direct path to the highest realm could bring for a momentary whim?

He Mo felt that this was the kind of partner he needed.

He Mo let out a laugh, his red lips looking like a gaping maw ready to devour someone.

"Since it's your request, sir, then there's nothing wrong with it!"

After saying that, He Mo led Luo Tian and walked out of the room filled with memorial tablets.

Standing outside the room, just before the door slowly closed, He Mo solemnly bowed to the room filled with memorial tablets.

Like... crocodile tears!

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Price of Civilization!

After leaving the room filled with tokens, He Mo led the two to the end of the corridor.

He Mo stepped forward and extended his right hand, his palm imprinting itself on the silvery-white wall in front of him.

The silvery-white color suddenly darkened, and the wall seemed to transform into a giant monitor. As a beam of light swept across He Mo's palm, the seamless wall in front of him suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge elevator hidden behind it.

Although it's called an elevator, it's more like a room in size, big enough to hold dozens of people.

After stepping into the elevator, Luo Tian was shocked to find that the elevator was surrounded by transparent glass.

He Mo was about to introduce Luo Tian when a light flickered in his earpiece, and his expression suddenly turned strange.

He first glanced at Luo Tian, ​​then revealed a meaningful smile.

"Next, please enjoy the masterpiece of my Third Research Institute!"
