I got the information I wanted from Tai.

Three or four years.

If we calculate based on a four-year timeframe, then he needs to get everyone to absorb the Imperial Gem within three years.

After closing my eyes and thinking for a moment, it seems that I can't let the Creation Cult become an enemy peacefully; I need to add something to it.

Having left the Chengtian Clan's territory, Qin Sheng's current goal is to provide fire, allowing the human race to quickly absorb the primordial energy, and then use it to end the invasion of alien beasts.

This purpose doesn't need to be hidden; it's perfectly reasonable.

After all, ending the invasion of alien beasts does not mean that the source of alien beast remains is gone. On the contrary, they can be kept in captivity to better select the remains needed.

By then, if everyone is converted to believers, the power of all humanity can be gathered to study the rules.

A win-win situation, isn't it?

Qin Sheng left the Kunlun Mountains region with several tons of newly mined Imperial Gems and headed towards the location of Creation City.

The effects of primordial energy on humans are already quite evident; the next step is to assess its effects on believers.

Meanwhile, in Creation City, prepared experimental personnel are already on board.

...

"Pah, what's going on? You call us back without a second thought."

One of the believers, his eyes filled with ferocity and resentment, had one arm covered in hair, like that of an ape, which was exposed to the air without any attempt to conceal it.

"So much nonsense." His companion also had a pointed beak and made no attempt to conceal his religious features.

The same applies to the other three.

With the characteristic of being "human," they can indeed hide their alienated features in daily life, but why would they hide them?

As time went on, news of the cooperation between the higher-ups and the Creation Church gradually came to light.

After all, the believers were initially restrained, but after realizing that the city guards wouldn't really do anything to them, they gradually loosened up.

After committing the crime, they reappeared as if nothing had happened. Combined with the cultists' distorted fighting style during the incident, even a fool could understand that the cultists' identities were completely different from before.

Cao Guangxing took the initiative to take the blame as soon as the matter first emerged, and naturally resigned from his position as city lord.

These five cultists have now mutated certain areas in order to demonstrate their identity as cult members. Relying on this, they can practically do whatever they want in the United City!

Whether you're eyeing something or a person, just grab it!

United City, just like its name suggests, is a city built by the merger of countless small countries, and no one dares to risk offending the Creation Cult.

Therefore, most of the believers who wanted to cause trouble went there, making it almost like a backyard for believers.

However, this period of peace did not last long. Before they could become even more unruly, Yu Rui called them back.

Their status as deputy leaders also prevented them from disobeying orders.

After all, everyone in the Creation Cult knows that Yu Rui is Qin Sheng's confidante and the one who truly manages the Creation Cult.

If it weren't for the widespread knowledge of Yu Rui's respect for Qin Sheng, people would probably have already advised General Yu Rui to ascend the throne.

"We weren't given any orders to come back! I can't hold it in any longer!"

With a bang, the table in the room was overturned, and the hairy-armed cultist suddenly pushed open the door, about to leave.

But the next second, he froze on the spot, staring at the figure at the door.

"Vice Leader..."

"Perfect."

Yu Rui looked at him calmly. Qin Sheng had just returned and needed test subjects. She had just arrived at the place where this group of scumbags were settled, and before she could even choose, she was delivered to his door.

"Come with me."

The other person's lips twitched. How unlucky could they be!

But I still had no choice but to keep up, after all, he was my boss.

In a short while, he passed through the pure white corridor and arrived at an empty room.

There was nothing extra here, just a table and chairs, and a box on the table.

Although he didn't know what was there, he couldn't help but swallow, as if he longed for it.

Bang…

Yu Rui left the room and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, Qin Sheng stood behind the one-way mirror, looking at the somewhat bewildered figure in it. He noticed the abnormality of the other person's one hand and guessed the reason why the other person did this.

"Do you see the box on the table?"

Qin Sheng's voice rang in his ears, making him become respectful, though his expression was somewhat insincere.

"Yes, Master."

"Open it now."

After hesitating for a moment, he opened the box with his ape-like arm, revealing the Imperial Gemstone inside, which shone like a yellow sapphire under the light.

His eyes were instantly filled with greed. He neither suppressed nor restrained his instincts, and he wanted to absorb the primal energy from a distance.

"Stop."

For the first time in a long time, Qin Sheng directly issued an order through the system, causing the other person to lose control of their body.

This scene made Qin Sheng nod, confirming that the system's control methods exceeded human instincts, but it was also within his expectations.

Otherwise, he would have already researched how to solve the control problem.

"Absorb it now."

The ape-like cultist couldn't contain himself any longer and reached out to grab the gap in the Imperial Gem, absorbing some of the primordial energy remotely.

Soon, the Imperial Gem also dimmed rapidly, then turned into a translucent crystal, indicating that the primordial energy within it had been completely absorbed.

How are you feeling?

The uncontrolled answers from the believers were indeed very similar to the test data from Mu Zifu's side, and a slight error was within acceptable limits.

"Try Superbrain."

After being informed of the superbrain's situation, the believer began to try it, but before he even started, his body started to feel a little off.

"Master, I feel a little unwell."

The other person stretched out their hand, looked at the ape-like arm, and fell into a daze.

He was only controlling the mutation of one arm, so how come both arms are having problems?

But then his arms returned to normal, and both arms became normal again.

Looking at the smooth skin, he felt a little unfamiliar with it. Perhaps it was because his arm had been transformed for so long that he had forgotten what his hand was.

Qin Sheng squinted and saw the strange phenomenon appear on his body again, then quickly disappear.

The other party was completely unaware, as if the alien beast genes had gone out of control within his body.

"you…"

Before the words were even finished, the test subject's body collided rapidly, completing the mutation of its entire body. However, strangely enough, its eyes turned yellow.

The observer raised an eyebrow, watching the other person constantly switch between beast and human forms with each breath.

Each time, his eyes would become a little cloudy, and he would lose consciousness long ago, unable to even speak.

This went on for three or four minutes before his condition gradually stabilized, and the gorilla stopped moving.

"Not dead?"

Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised and immediately ordered, "Tell me your feelings."

For the first time ever, the believers did not respond to the command!

"Okay, he's dead, but not really dead..."

Qin Sheng glanced at it, and the red light belonging to the ape-like cultists began to flicker, but quickly dimmed.

A follower who has absorbed the primordial energy.

That's it.
