Edward mentally calculated the changes that the existence of the perfect being envisioned by the emperor would bring to the world.

"This is unimaginable, a life form that transcends the norm. Theoretically, the appearance of such a perfect life form could only lead to one outcome."

It's uncertain how long it will take, but as long as they aren't wiped out, they could rule the entire world and even make it impossible for other life forms to continue to exist..."

Edward believed that his conjecture was sound, provided that perfect life could truly be born.

The description of this thing is a bit too exaggerated. If it were completed, all kinds of people, whether warriors, wizards, dwarves, or orcs, would be swept into the dustbin of history.

"Perfect life forms will become the top of the food chain, the absolute rulers."

Once they reach a certain scale, they can declare war on the entire world with the power of their clan.

Furthermore, since it's a product of alchemy, the initial expansion of the population shouldn't be a problem.

One of the biggest advantages of alchemy is mass production, as long as the design of the transmutation array is completed and the alchemist has mastered the knowledge in this area.

Therefore, a certain necklace of gold artifacts can be created infinitely as long as there are enough resources.

Wait, infinite creation...

The existence of perfect life made Edward think of something interesting.

"Isn't it quite a coincidence? It's a dream I've considered before: to turn our El Empire into a perfect kingdom that can never be destroyed or damaged, where there is no sadness or pain, only peace and happiness."

Now, the blueprint that appears before me, the possibility of turning humanity into a perfect life form, isn't it just right?

A perfect kingdom, perfect life—if I could enable everyone to achieve evolution beyond humanity, wouldn't my dream be within my grasp?

Edward's eyes sharpened.

He was only slightly concerned about the life-forging process that the emperor showed him.

Since progress in gunpowder weapons cannot be made in a short period of time, we can try to take a different approach.

Using the power forged from life to create things like chimeras in testing grounds can also enhance the Empire's combat strength.

Now, things are different.

"Life forging may become one of my most important research projects, because it is related to my dream."

If it's completed, if mass production can be achieved, an incredibly bright future awaits us!

Thinking about this, he began to wonder how far the research on this perfect life form had progressed.

"Father, how is our plan to reshape life—Perfect Life—making progress?"

As soon as Edward asked the question, he saw the expectation and fervor on the emperor's face subside somewhat.

"Not very good. The perfect life form we envision should have strong vitality, self-healing ability, adaptability, life assimilation and mimicry ability, and excellent talents."

However, so far, after research by dozens of top alchemists, we have only managed to create one life form, which we can consider a preliminary breakthrough.

The emperor took one of the documents out of the archives and handed it to Edward, who was standing next to him.

"The cyborgs' vitality has been greatly enhanced, enabling them to reattach severed arms and heal wounds within half a minute."

Except for the heart and skull, most organs lost due to injury can regenerate.

Blood contains special substances that can transport more energy and form a scab within ten seconds of a wound appearing.
