?Chapter 1185: 370. Derivative Controversy_3


    In the magic ship’s upper deck, where not even the Grand Inquisitors may tread, a ceremony formunicating with outer space was underway.


    There wasn’t a soul or any breathing creature at the ceremony site.


    The conduсtors of the ceremony were the mechanical arms controlled by an invisible force.


    When the ritual array was activated, and the energy fluctuations were absorbed by the surrounding wall structures, a deep void akin to a mirror appeared at the center of the array.


    Standing outside the ritual array and looking into the void, one would see a massive workshop dotted with synthetic human body parts.


    A bald old man with greying hair was by a craftsman table in the workshop, working on designs. <div>


    ...


    The appearance of the profound void allowed the inhabitants of the magic ship to see the other side, and those on the other side to witness the sights within the magic ship.


    The bald old man turned to look at the round hole that appeared on the wall, bowed humbly and respectfully:


    “Exalted master, your chief bionic body engineer salutes you.”


    Thenguage used by the bald old man was that of the Metal Creation Group, and his speaking tool was a speaker imnted in his neck, not vocal cords.


    The voice of the Metal Ancestor Dragon, Tarsali, echoed within the magic ship:


    “I want you to produce another 3 billion junior life forms in the breeding room, and use the Soul Centrifuge to extract their mindless souls.”


    “Yes, master, as you wish, I will see to it immediately.”


    The deep void vanished.


    The bald old man left the workshop without any expression on his face.


    He was a synthetic engineer, devoid of emotions, programmed to follow orders and do his assigned tasks.


    Even if that meant the death of 3 billion biotechnologically produced life forms, he did not hesitate.


    If Nnd Lee had the chance to hear their conversation, he would surely exim in awe, “Awesome!”


    The collection of soul energy had been industrialized into an assembly line!


    This might just be the charm ofbining biotechnology with industrialization…


    …


    …


    Ind 33.


    A tranquil midnight.


    Nnd Lee and Denise Green emerged from the miniature ocean and returned to the peaceful ind they had long missed.


    “Thank you for your help, Selena.”


    Nnd Lee smiled at the deep-sea witch standing guard by the miniature ocean.


    He whispered a few words to Denise Green, suggesting she rest first as he had matters to discuss with Selena.


    Denise Green left using a flight spell.


    Nnd Lee and Selena went from the fifth underground level to the third level above ground and sat down inside Nnd Lee’s study room.


    “Have you figured it out, Selena? Who knows about my departure from the Suman Archipgo this time?” Nnd Lee asked as he served hot tea.


    Selena took the tea cup, sipped lightly, and her red lips glistened with a water charm:


    “Your security measures were well executed this time. No one but me noticed your and Denise Green’s departure. I can assure you of this. Even my brother always believed you were on Ind 33 recuperating, practicing, and studying in preparation for advancing to four-circled level.”


    Nnd Lee quietly sighed in relief.


    He pulled out a chair and sat down, speaking slowly:


    “I’ve gained a lot this time. I’ve acquired a significant amount of soul energy. I need you to help me purchase an Energy Conversion Array in secret to transform soul energy into other kinds of magic energy.”


    “A lot? How much is a lot?” Selena’s beautiful eyes twinkled with curiosity.


    “So much it’s unimaginable,” Nnd Lee said:


    “3 billion points. Yes, you heard me right. Not 300 million, but 3 billion. If you measure by market price, that’s a huge amount of money exceeding 300 billion gold coins.”


    Selena was struck, as if by lightning, her expression frozen.


    Nnd Lee continued:


    “I’ve also made headway with essing the sub-dimensional ne. This soul energy will be used to construct the sub-dimensional ne. Since we can’t openly discuss the source of the ne and the energy, I hope when you secretly acquire the Energy Conversion Array for me, you must ensure its safety.”


    Nnd Lee added:


    “Also, I’ve resolved the source of the ne Device. Now everything is in ce, just waiting to convert the soul energy into the magic energy needed to build the sub-dimensional ne. By creating more Mechanos for any needs that may arise, we will have our own sub-dimensional ne.”


    Excitement shimmered in Selena’s eyes, finally seeing a chance to break free from her domineering father’s control.


    “No problem, I’ll ensureplete safety. If anyone asks, I won’t say a word.”
