Chapter 473: Secrets of the Ancient Times
"Research data on artificially creating vampires...?!"
Qi Yi's words shocked everyone present except the True Ancestors.
Even Aize couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Qi Yi meaningfully.
"You actually handed over such a precious thing like this?"
You know, vampires are the epitome of immortality. Even though their bodies are fragile among the demons, they are still known as the strongest demons with their overwhelming trump card, their familiars.
Artificial creation of life forms is not uncommon in this world.
Life forms created using biological and chemical techniques, including clones, can be considered artificial life forms. The most primitive method of creating artificial life forms is said to have existed as early as the 16th century. Its purpose was to create cheap labor or to make it a good companion for humans. This type of research has been carried out by various people for many years, but it has not been popularized due to ethical issues, human rights issues, and manufacturing costs.
In other words, the technology to create artificial life forms has always existed, but there are relatively few people willing to get involved in this research. Up to this stage, the existence of artificial life forms only involves one project, which is the development of pharmaceuticals that use artificial life forms. It can artificially change the genetic structure and is most suitable for clinical trials of new drugs or research on immune antibodies.
To this end, almost all pharmaceutical companies have equipment within their own companies to manufacture and research artificial life forms.
But artificial life forms and artificially created vampires are two different things.
At least, there is no modern technology that can artificially create vampires.
The only artificial vampires in this world are the twelve girls including Agurola, who were once the basis of the fourth true ancestor's twelve followers.
But now, Qi Yi handed over this extremely valuable technology to Aize, which was really surprising.
"This is something that shouldn't appear in this era, so it has always been strictly controlled by the three of us."
Qi Yi shrugged and said so.
The existence of the three true ancestors can be traced back to the ancient times, when the Celestial Tribe had not yet withdrawn from the stage of history. They also joined hands with the Celestial Tribe to create the Fourth True Ancestor, which was known as the god-killing weapon. Therefore, the technology to artificially create vampires has always been possessed by the three true ancestors.
What's more, others may not know, but Aize is clear that the three true ancestors were actually once celestial beings. They are called ancient superhumans by modern people and sub-gods of the ancient gods.
The true identity of the Celestials is actually an advanced race that descended from outside the Earth and began to dominate the Earth long, long ago.
They have long lifespans, strong bodies, and possess extraordinary powers called divine power (telekinesis) and nearly immortal regenerative abilities. Their civilization is extremely advanced, but they built a highly developed civilization in prehistoric times, created a wide variety of powerful weapons, and used their outstanding technology to create a wide variety of lower races.
For example, orcs with high combat power who are suitable for being guards or soldiers, giants with extraordinary strength who are suitable for construction or carrying luggage, fairies who are suitable for petting and doing housework, and fishmen who are used for working in water. Most of the demons that were once active in history and still exist in modern times were created by the heavens.
The Celestial Beings used their own divine power and the lower races under their control to drive out the ferocious monsters that had been wreaking havoc on the earth before they came to this planet. They built many magnificent cities on the earth, and the civilization was highly developed, which gave rise to the so-called ancient superhumans and the name of demigods.
However, they were brutal in nature and had always regarded war as entertainment. They treated races other than their own as slaves and bullied them as inferior races. They created killings at will and made humans and demons kill each other for fun. Eventually, when humans and demons rebelled against them and provoked a war, they were forced to degenerate and go towards extinction, and then they withdrew from the stage of history.
Zii, Elsword, and Jada...these three can be said to be the survivors of the Celestial Beings. They are the first vampires born because of the Celestial Beings' momentary thought.
The Tianbu once used highly developed technology to create the most extreme destructive weapon, which is the familiar beast.
The beasts are used as props of war by the celestial beings. They are extremely powerful, and thus the act of summoning beasts was once strictly prohibited by the celestial beings' precepts.
Once summoned, the former beasts will indiscriminately burn down cities and forests, change the terrain, and drive out all living things on the earth without distinguishing between friend and foe. Even the Celestial Beings find it difficult to control them, especially the beasts that are out of control. No one can stop them, and it is like a disaster. In order to maintain their entity, the beasts that are out of control will even endlessly steal memories from the surrounding intelligent life forms. Those whose memories have been taken away will lose the will to maintain their own life activities, and will soon become weak and die. Even the Celestial Beings are not immune.
Therefore, in order to control their beasts, the Heaven Department involved the creation of artificial vampires. In order to control their beasts, the three true ancestors chose to raise them in their own blood. This is how they accepted the curse of immortality that was equivalent to eternity and became the so-called true ancestors of vampires.
In other words, vampires are actually living sacrifices that bear the disaster of the beast on behalf of the world.
Since the birth of the three true ancestors and the beginning of their reproduction, vampires who could control their familiars were born, and the familiars, the ultimate destructive weapons that indiscriminately destroyed everything, were finally mastered.
Under such circumstances, no one knows better than the three true ancestors how vampires are born, and no one knows better than them the origin of artificial vampires.
They were able to transform themselves into vampires, create the fourth true ancestor, and even work with the Celestials to create a base body that housed twelve familiars. So they naturally had the technology to artificially create vampires.
However, they no longer approve of using this method to create vampires.
After all, they can also use their own blood to transform vampires. If they have offspring, they will also be vampires. The vampire clan appeared because of them, and now they have become the strongest demon clan that can influence the whole world.
In this way, this research material naturally becomes something that is neither tasty nor worth throwing away.
It wasn't until today that this research material came in handy.
"You should need this, right?" Qi Yi blinked and smiled, "So, this should be qualified to be our bargaining chip, right?"
Aize looked at Qi Yi deeply and said nothing.
Why does he need this research material?
Because of Nagisa Akatsuki, or rather, the Agurora inside Nagisa Akatsuki.
Agurola has lost his body, but his soul has been accepted by Akatsuki Nagisa, which leads to various dangers when Akatsuki Nagisa uses his power.
There are only two ways to save Nagisa Akatsuki.
Or, Akatsuki Nagisa herself could become a vampire, so that she could afford the cost of summoning a familiar and the enormous magic power comparable to that of a dragon vein.
Or, separate Agurora from Nagisa Akatsuki.
No matter which method is used, the research data on artificially creating vampires is needed. Especially if the second method is used, if a new body cannot be created for Agurola, then she will die.
Of course, with Aize's ability, he can actually find another way out for Agurola.
For example, using her Zanpakutō to perform a soul burial ceremony for her and send her soul to where it should go, so that she might be able to survive as a soul like the people in Soul Society.
Besides, Athena had told Aize this before...
"With my power in the underworld, I can completely control the soul of the Fourth True Ancestor and make her your servant, just like the power of the God-killer you once defeated, the Wolf King named Wobang."
Marquis Vauban possesses a power called the Death Servant Cage, which allows him to forcibly enslave the beings he has killed, restricting their souls to himself and turning them into death servants under his control.
Athena, as the goddess of the underworld, the queen of the underworld, the ruler of darkness, and the controller of death, can do the same thing.
But in this way, Agurola will become Athena's servant.
The goddess spoke nicely, saying that she would make Agurola a servant under Aize, but in reality, she would be the only one who could control Agurola.
Of course, because Aize can control Athena, even if Agurola is controlled by Athena, he will still obey him.
But Aize always felt that if he did this, he would definitely be controlled by the goddess of wisdom, so he was firmly opposed to doing so.
As for using the power of Zanpakutō to bury Agurora's soul and send her away from this world, who knows what will happen.
There is no Soul Society in this world, and we don’t know if there is Hell or Hades. What should we do if Agurora is sent to a strange place?
Based on such considerations, the matter was delayed.
Now, Aize has obtained new bargaining chips and has better means to save Nagisa Akatsuki and Agurola.
"As for the ownership of Genkami Island..."
Qi Yi suddenly turned to the empty space beside him and said something.
"How about you, a local important figure, serve as a witness?"
As soon as Qi Yi finished speaking, ripples appeared wherever he looked.
The magic circle unfolded there, the space twisted slightly, and a petite figure slowly walked out of it, catching everyone's eyes.
"I am just a teacher and a demon hunter. I have no right to decide the fate of this String God Island."
Nangong Nayue finally appeared again, glared at Jiada and spoke with an unhappy look on her face.
"But if just being a witness can get you guys off this island, I'd be happy to do it."
Obviously, Nangong Nayue was very unhappy about Qi Yi and others appearing here.
To her, the three true ancestors were a disaster, and nothing good could happen if they appeared on this island.
Now that the three true ancestors have compromised with Aize, it means that the three night empires will no longer have any intention of coveting this island in the future.
If letting the ownership of Genshin Island become Aize's can bring about this result, then Nangong Nayue really doesn't mind being a witness.
"Then it's settled." Qi Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "With the prison barrier manager as a witness, I believe the artificial island management commune will not think we are joking."
"We three will go and convince Neon. I believe the Prime Minister is a smart man. He won't make enemies with the War King Domain, the Extinction Dynasty, and the Chaos Realm all at the same time just for the ownership of a demon special zone, let alone snatch things from the hands of those who can force us three True Ancestors to retreat."
"Whether it's the Fourth True Ancestor or this Demon Special Zone, they will all be your territory and your property from now on. I will bring this up at the Whispering Garden meeting and make a formal announcement internationally in the name of the Sanctuary Treaty Organization and all its member states."
"Elsword, Jada, you should be okay, right?"
Upon hearing this, Elsword and Jada reacted differently.
"Then let's do this...."
Elsword looked nonchalant.
"That's all we can do."
Jiada didn't want to accept the favor from Qi Yi and Elsword, but as things had come to this point, she couldn't be ignorant of the current situation and could only nod.
Watara, Yarador, and Iblisbell looked at each other, and different thoughts occurred to them.
They knew that from this moment on, this world had one more king who was equal to the True Ancestors, or even superior to them.
The right to dispose of the Fourth True Ancestor has been given to Aize, and Genshin Island has also become the base of this king. After the Whispering Garden makes an official announcement, this king will officially step onto the international stage.
How will the world change by then?
No one knows.
The only thing that is certain is that this change will definitely not be too small.
In this regard, some of Watara and the other two were worried, while others were secretly looking forward to it.
I look forward to new turmoil and new changes in this unchanging world.
Just like that, with Aize's tacit consent, the three true ancestors left Genshin Island together, and Watara and the other two also took their leave directly.
Aize was holding a USB drive, hugging the unconscious Nagisa Akatsuki, and he and Nangong Nayue were standing there staring blankly.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm the one being troubled."
Aize just threw out this sentence.
“Humph!” Nangong Nayue snorted coldly and said, “I will come to trouble you after I have dealt with those troublesome matters!”
After saying that, Nangong Nayue disappeared on the spot.
Aize was left alone, holding Nagisa Akatsuki, when a message suddenly flooded into his mind.
[We have reached an important node in this fantasy world, and our life experience is initially complete. 】
[The administrator can choose to return and settle this life experience in the library. ]
After silently accepting this message, Aize sighed.
"It seems that it is time to leave again..."
The life of giving up has come to an end now.
