"The sun... I can finally see the sun again."

Li Xuanming said with emotion, almost in tears.

"Is it really necessary to go this far?" Zijing muttered.

Rowling said with a smile, "Director Li spent a long seven hundred years in the dark First Spirit Beast Research Institute. Now that he has seen the sun again, he will naturally be extremely excited."

Ye Feng looked at Li Xuanming and said, "Let's go, come back to Silla City with us. From now on, you will be a member of our Silla City."

"But you are no longer the director of the Spirit Beast Research Institute. From now on, you will be the director of the Research and Development Department of our Xinluo City."

"Research and Development Department? Director?"

Li Xuanming looked puzzled.

Luo Lin explained with a smile, "The highest administrative department in our Xinluo City is called the Affairs Bureau. The head of the bureau is the ancestor. The various departments under the Affairs Bureau are at the division level, including the Foreign Affairs Division, Logistics Support Division, Construction Division, Agriculture Division, Security Division, and Supervision Division."

“Now, we have another department at the division level—the R&D Division. And you are the director of the R&D Division, at the same level as me, Chen He, and Zijing.”

Rowling explained it to Li Xuanming, finally giving him a general understanding.

“Below the division-level departments are the bureau-level departments, and each division-level department has several bureau-level departments. I’ll explain the details to you when we get back to Silla City,” Luo Lin said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Li Xuanming nodded.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "My other descendant, Luo Qing, is also a scholar-type cultivator who is very good at research, but her realm is much lower than yours. Her name is Luo Qing. She is the director of the Construction Department of our Xinluo City and Luo Lin's niece. In the future, she will be the deputy director of your Research and Development Department."

"Yes, Lord City Lord." Li Xuanming agreed without hesitation.

Ye Feng added, "The Void Returning Realm has already surpassed that of spirit beasts, so it's no longer appropriate to call the spirit beast Divine Sheep. Let's give it another name."

"What do you think would be a good name for the city lord?" Li Xuanming asked.

"A divine beast of creation!" Ye Feng said heavily.

“Creation Beast…Creation Beast…That’s a good name! Let’s call it that from now on!” Li Xuanming said in a strong and clear voice.

Ye Feng then turned to Chen He and said, "The Creation Immortal Beast is still dormant in the First Spirit Beast Research Institute. This place must be closely monitored to prevent any accidents. After you return, select thirty trustworthy martial arts guards to be stationed here!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Chen He immediately nodded and accepted the order.

At the same moment, on the vast and boundless sea.

A group of martial artists are engaged in a fierce battle with seemingly endless sea-blue creatures.

These martial artists were all quite strong, with the weakest being at the Separation and Union Realm, while the leader actually possessed the strength of the peak of the Saint Realm!

However, the sea-blue creatures that are currently battling them, which appear to be made of seawater, are also very powerful.

Each of them possesses a female form, but their bodies have many limbs that are not human, such as fish tails and snake tails. One of them, a female creature with eight octopus tentacles, is exceptionally powerful, fighting against six Divine Realm warriors single-handedly without being at a disadvantage!

"Damn humans! The land can no longer accommodate you, so you have to come to the sea to seize our Sea Spirit Clan's territory!"

The sea spirit woman with eight octopus tentacles roared in fury, slamming her trident down and sending a Divine Travel Realm warrior flying backward.

But the next moment, the other Divine Realm warriors attacked together.

"You're the ones who deserve to die! You bunch of devourers who ate the flesh and blood of divine beasts!"

"You will pay the price!"

"Today, all of you sea crawlers will die here!"

The battle intensified, and the seawater was stained red with blood.

This battle seems to have no end.

Silla Castle is very lively now.

Everyone was whispering among themselves about the strange man the city lord had brought back.

The strange man was clearly a middle-aged man who looked fairly refined, but he had eight octopus-like tentacles on his back, which was quite frightening no matter how you looked at it.

"Where did that strange person come from?"

"It looks pretty impressive."

"Haven't you heard? That's a research fanatic the city lord rescued! Apparently, the reason he turned into that terrifying state was due to a failed experiment!"

"That's outrageous!"

"You don't believe the City Lord's words? When has the City Lord ever lied to us?"

Inside the tent, Li Xuanming's expression was somewhat awkward.

He knew that his arrival had caused a small-scale panic in Silla City, which was not what he wanted to see.

But it wasn't his fault; after all, he didn't want to become like this.

"Don't worry about it. The people of Silla City are very tolerant. They will accept you as a special person very soon," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"I hope so," Li Xuanming said.

Just then, a flustered maid rushed in from outside, shouting and yelling.

"Ancestor, ancestor, I heard you brought back a very strange person!"

The one who ran into the tent was naturally Luo Qing.

Rowling immediately glared at Luo Qing and scolded, "What do you mean by 'strange person'? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation!"

Fearing that Luo Qing might say something rude again, Luo Lin hurriedly explained the matter concerning Li Xuanming to her.

Upon learning that the man with eight octopus tentacles before her was a Saint Realm expert just like the Ancestor, Luo Qing was greatly surprised.

Furthermore, Ye Feng appointed Luo Qing as the deputy director of the R&D department, while Li Xuanming became the director of the R&D department. In this way, Luo Qing would also be considered Li Xuanming's subordinate.

But Luo Qing was not dissatisfied; she knew that Ye Feng must have his reasons for making such an arrangement.

So Luo Qing walked up to Li Xuanming and said politely, "I hope you will take good care of me in the future, Director Li."

"It's you who took care of me," Li Xuanming quickly stood up and said.

"Don't say that, you'll be my boss from now on," Luo Qing said with a smile.

Li Xuanming was initially worried that Luo Qing might be a difficult person to get along with.

Moreover, Luo Qing's identity is so special; she is a descendant of the Luo family's patriarch.

Seeing that Luo Qing was so easy to talk to, Li Xuanming finally felt relieved.

Ye Feng smiled and looked at Luo Qing, saying, "Didn't I promise you before that I would build a laboratory for you next to the Spirit Medicine Research Institute? It seems that the plan has to be changed now."

After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "What we are building is not a laboratory, but a large-scale Spiritual Mechanism Research Institute. Li Xuanming will not only be the director of the Research and Development Department, but also the dean of the Spiritual Mechanism Research Institute. And you, Qing'er, will be the vice dean of the Spiritual Mechanism Research Institute."
