The robot placed Wang Xiaohai's Jinwu Fruit into the genetic modification device, which was a three-meter-tall metal instrument, like a large iron can.

"Can anything be genetically modified?" Wang Xiaohai asked.

"That's the theory," the Yingxin No. 1 robot replied, its robotic arm continuously pressing the photoelectric display screen outside the transformation instrument to set the transformation program.

"This machine is really useful. Rice and drinks can be modified and repaired, so we can eat delicious food every day!" Wang Xiaohai walked aside to watch.

"You wish! This machine can only be used once a year, sometimes only once every few years. Do you think it only consumes a small amount of electricity?" the robot retorted. "You're dreaming of using it to transform rice? This is originally designed to transform disciples. It's the most advanced machine in Shuangdian City. Using it once will consume a large amount of energy crystals. Do you know how much energy is required to generate and transform matter? The annihilation of matter and antimatter releases enormous energy, and generating matter from energy requires even more. Simply put, the total value of the energy crystals required to genetically modify these Golden Martial Fruits exceeds 300 billion! That's enough to buy a small country on the mainland, and you still want to transform rice? How extravagant are you!"

Wang Xiaohai didn't expect that the demand for activating this transformation instrument would be so huge. No wonder it was only used to transform new disciples. It was estimated that there might not be ten disciples to be transformed in ten years. It was really a waste to use it to transform rice. Rice worth hundreds of billions of yuan was something that even the most extravagant people could not afford.

I didn’t expect the reward for the champion to be so amazing. Shouldn’t they give him money? Wang Xiaohai once thought that the runner-up had money, but the champion didn’t get any money. Now it seems that there is really no need to give him money.

"How long does it take to transform the Jinwu Fruit?" Wang Xiaohai asked.

"About fifteen hours," the robot said. "But this is my first time transforming a fruit. The exact time will depend on the completion progress bar. There should be an uncertainty of two hours."

Wang Xiaohai thought this was not bad. He had originally thought it would take a week or even longer. “I’ll go out and wait.”

"I'll let you know once the renovation is complete. Don't leave the Welcome Hall, just walk around inside." The robot replied.

Wang Xiaohai nodded in agreement.

Because the Martial Palace activated the genetic modification device, the extraction of energy crystals requires electricity, so Shuangdian City turned off 90% of the lights to supply power to the modification device, and the remaining 10% of the lights flickered, like a giant blinking.

Most of the factories and companies in Shuangdian City stopped supplying electricity and started using backup generators. For a while, the whole city was filled with the roar of generators.

Cheng Yan and Fowles were halfway up the elevator when the power suddenly went out and they were trapped inside. Although the Gaoke Hotel had a backup generator, the hotel owner wanted to wait until the power was automatically restored. After all, starting the backup generator would result in a loss. Anyway, the guests had already paid for their accommodation and there would be no refund if something unexpected happened. He could save some money if the power company had a power outage. As for the two people in the elevator, the owner thought that they were both warriors and would not die after being trapped for a few hours. There was no need to send anyone to rescue them and it would be a waste of money. It must be said that those who can become big bosses are smart and save money whenever they can. They don't care about other people's life or death. It is not as important as making money for themselves. Businessmen who are not black-hearted would have failed in the early stages of their business.

"Why didn't the device that sealed Shuangdian City's martial energy lose power?" Cheng Yan said in the elevator. "If my martial energy were restored, I'd kick this elevator over!"

"Forget it. Even if your martial energy recovers, you can't act recklessly in Shuangdian City. If you're not strong enough to ignore all the rules, you can only follow them." Fowles said, "Rules are made by the strong. We can only follow them, unless you can defeat everyone in Shuangdian City!"

The transformation device was rotating, and dense electric lights wrapped around the transformation device like a cage, as bright as the sun.

The robot in the Welcome Hall exited the genetic modification room and slid to Wang Xiaohai's side.

"Are you eternal life?" Wang Xiaohai asked the robot.

"Eternal? No," the robot said. "My core processor is designed for a limited lifespan. All matter has a decay period. No machine can last forever. At most, it can outlive you."

"How many years can you live?" Wang Xiaohai asked curiously.

"One million years," the robot replied. "After a million years, the data will be lost or damaged. However, I will transfer the data to the next generation of robots before it is damaged, so there is no need to worry."

Wang Xiaohai thought it wouldn't take that long. In a few thousand years, the Evil Spirit Continent would be destroyed and reborn, and everyone would die! But humans didn't have to worry about this. Humans only lived for a little over a hundred years, and even Martial Saints only lived for a few hundred years. Monsters and beasts lived longer than humans, but only a few hundred years. The longest-living were large, dangerous creatures, who could live for over a thousand years.

"Robot, do you think people will become evil spirits after they die?" Wang Xiaohai suddenly asked.

"I don't know. I don't understand souls very well. It seems like evil spirits are particularly prevalent on this continent. I don't know why," the robot said. "Ancient records show that the continent where our Twin Palace spacecraft originally came from was very rare. A country might not even have one or two, but there are evil spirit kingdoms on the Evil Spirit Continent!"

Next, Wang Xiaohai talked to the robot about some things about evil spirits, but there was no result because the robot didn't know the answer either.

The robot went back to the transformation room for observation. This transformation device is very precious and cannot break down.

Time goes by...

Wang Xiaohai thought about calling his relatives and friends in Qingliu City as soon as he returned from the Martial Palace. This competition took a while, and he hadn't celebrated with them after winning the championship yet.

After a few more hours, the roar of the machine gradually became smaller, and Wang Xiaohai walked into the transformation room.

The rotation of the transformation device has stopped, and its appearance has changed from white to red, and from red back to metallic color, and the temperature is slowly dropping.

After waiting for half an hour, the robot turned on the transformation instrument. A heat wave surged out from the gap in the instrument. Water vapor condensed into liquid and dripped onto the ground, making it wet. The robot took out five transformed Golden Warrior Fruits.

"Is this - a fruit?" Wang Xiaohai reached out to take it. These five golden martial fruits looked very different from the previous ones. Before, they were like an opaque orange, but now they were like golden water balls, clear and transparent. You could see the palm when holding them in your hand.

Wang Xiaohai threw five golden dragon fruits into his mouth like swallowing eggs.

"Ah, this is a modified fruit with different power!" It was too late for the robot to stop it.

The five modified Golden Warrior Fruits glowed inside Wang Xiaohai's body, and the potion spread throughout his body, perfectly integrating with his body, and he turned completely transparent.

At this moment, the ground under Wang Xiaohai's feet shook violently, and the entire reception hall began to shake!

"What's going on? Did the Twin Palace spaceship crash into a mountain range?" Wang Xiaohai asked the robot. "No, given the size of the Twin Palace spaceship, it can crash into any mountain range on the Evil Spirit Continent without any problems!"

"Big disaster!" The robot's warning lights rang, and it turned on the display screen on the wall - only to see a huge black vortex appear above the spaceship, stretching as far as the eye could see, covering the entire Evil Spirit Continent!

The huge double-chambered spacecraft was like a fallen leaf in the sea in this black vortex, small and powerless.
