Jing Yi’s jaw dropped.
Strictly speaking, Jing Yi was not a country bumpkin.
He had vaguely heard that the major clans of the current era not only emphasized individual strength but also kept up with technological advancements.
However, technology was something distant from the Archean City, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and far too remote for someone like Jing Yi to encounter artificial intelligence for the first time.
He asked cautiously, “What can you do for me?”
The Crimson Queen replied, “Everything.”
Jing Yi was silent for a moment. Recalling the information given to him by the Jing God, Jing Yi said, “Take me to Laboratory One.”
The Crimson Queen: asked, “Are you sure?”
Jing Yi frowned and replied, “What’s there to be unsure about?”
The Crimson Queen continued, “The project in Laboratory One is one of the major projects of the Flame Clan. However, due to some unforeseen accidents 5,342 years ago, Project One was no longer controllable.”
“Entering Laboratory One recklessly may pose unknown risks. Therefore, 1 want to confirm once again whether you want to go to Laboratory One.”
Jing Yi was in a daze for a moment before nodding abruptly, “I’m sure!”
He had nothing left to lose.
All that remained was his wretched life, and he would not mind dying.
Moreover, this Project One was the revenge weapon left to him by Ancestor, the Jing God. What were unknown risks compared to that?
Weapons were never without danger, right?
But at this moment, Jing Yi, whose mental state was abnormal, failed to grasp a crucial point.
The Jing God had already been asleep 5,342 years ago.
As for the destruction of the Flame Clan, the Rebellion of the Three Kings had already reached its conclusion.
Especially since 5,342 years ago was the time when the entire Flame Clan was wiped out.
Jing Yi did not know any of this.
Or rather, he no longer cared.
The corridor of the research institute suddenly lit up, with the lights forming an arrow to guide Jing Yi in the right direction.
Seeing this, Jing Yi started walking toward the depths of the research institute.
The Royal First Research Institute was enormous, with a main road connecting to over a dozen other corridors, each leading to a secretive project.
The Black Mist Zone had existed for a long time, and countless races had been chosen by the Black Mist Zone one after another to become tribulation transcenders.
The Black Mist Zone did not consider the level of technological development when selecting individuals.
Some races had weak technology, akin to wild beasts.
Some races focused on technology and had already entered the era of interstellar exploration before entering the Black Mist Zone.
However, no matter how advanced and developed their original level of technology was, once inside the Black Mist Zone, they all had to rely on the Source Power System—because it had a higher ceiling, and the extraordinary system that gathered power in their bodies was more compatible with the individual desires of intelligent races.
However, that did not mean they abandoned technology altogether.
After the situation stabilized, some large clans picked up their technology systems again. Although they had never heard of any race in the Black Mist Zone that could change their fate through science and technology, some small achievements continued to emerge, bringing convenience.
As Jing Yi followed the instructions towards Laboratory One. he recalled the information the Jing God had given him.
A moment later, he whispered, “Project One is called ‘Pollution,’ right?”
The Crimson Queen replied, “Yes.”
“Can you give me a detailed introduction to this ‘Pollution’ project?”
The Jing God had only told Jing Yi that this ‘Pollution’ project could be his weapon of revenge, so it should be powerful, right?
However, the Jing God did not say what the pollution was referring to.
Perhaps, in the Jing God’s heart, he was also hesitant about whether he should hand this thing to Jing Yi.
Hearing Jing Yi’s words, the Crimson Queen said softly,
“The inspiration for the ‘Pollution’ project came from the Zombie.”
Jing Yi frowned and the Crimson Queen continued, “It is well known that the cause of the Zombie is the infection of Source Power in the weak.”
“And once someone becomes a superhuman, even if they are only at the Mortal Realm, they are completely immune to this infection.”
“Therefore, a question arose. Can this infection be expanded to superhumans?”
“The ‘Pollution’ project was created to solve this problem: to expand the zombie transformation to the level of superhumans… Not just the Mortal Realm, but also the Physique Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Source Realm, the Ancient Realm, and even the gods!”
Jing Yi suddenly spoke, “There’s a solution to this problem. There are already related research results.”
The Corpse Soldier Technique of the Undead Clan could turn superhumans into zombies—of course, it was limited to those below the Spirit Realm.
Moreover, the technique was more complicated.
Even so, the logic of the two was the same.
Thinking of this, Jing Yi could not help but sigh.
The Undead Clan was the ancestor of this Zombie stuff. From the looks of it, this ‘Pollution’ project was probably the leftovers of the Undead Clan. There was nothing to look forward to.
The Crimson Queen suddenly spoke.
“The intention of the ‘Pollution’ project is indeed as I just mentioned.”
“But in the subsequent experiments, the ‘Pollution’ project underwent some unexpected changes that no one anticipated.”
With that said, the Crimson Queen fell silent for a moment before saying, “For the specific details, you should see for yourself.”
At this point, Jing Yi had already arrived at the entrance of Laboratory One.
He looked inside through the window.
He saw countless dark red flesh networks intertwined and condensed into a meat lump about ten meters in diameter in the center of the laboratory.
Jing Yi frowned and was about to speak when he saw the meat lump suddenly shake.
Then, it trembled and turned around, revealing a massive eye!
Jing Yi was shocked.
The appearance of this meat lump was actually an independent giant eyeball!
A subtle and eerie energy emanated from the eyeball, as if it wanted to do something to Jingyi but was blocked by the specially made glass wall.
Jing Yi frowned and asked, “What is this thing?”
The Crimson Queen replied, “The final product of the ‘Pollution’ project: the Source of Dreams.”
“Source of Dreams…”
As he muttered these words, Jing Yi asked again, “What’s its function? The Jing God told me that this thing can become my weapon for revenge, so it should be very powerful, right?”
With eyes full of anticipation, Jing Yi looked at the Source of Dreams, and the voice of the Crimson Queen echoed once more, “At its inception, the Source of Dreams did not have a concept of level. I don’t know how strong it is specifically. Originally, it should have had a series of special abilities such as inducing dreams, pollution, flesh distortion, and so on. However, after the Flame Emperor, along with the Black King, Blue King, and nearly all the clansmen of the Flame Clan back then, fused into the Source of Dreams, it underwent a second evolution.”
“I don’t know what kind of abilities the Source of Dreams has now. I’m simply following the last order I received… The order from King Lin to detain this thing and prohibit it from having any form of contact with the outside world.”
Jing Yi was stunned, and it took him quite some time to recover from the overwhelming amount of information..
