208: Chapter 208 Mysterious Game Entity

Walking into Jiang Hanwen's research building, Tang Long felt a bit shocked.

In the massive, hundreds-of-meters-wide open-plan floor, there was an automated workstation every three to four meters, continuously conducting some kind of research.

Minerals, liquids, gases, biological specimens, blood, or hair tissues were inside individual analysis petri dishes.

And looking at these workstations, there were hundreds, if not thousands, at a glance.

It wasn't just one floor; all floors from one to twelve were like this. Tang Long suspected that they encompassed the vast majority of special technologies existing on Blue Star.

And the thirteenth floor was a place with even stricter security.

They passed through six layers of heavy security doors, took at least a dozen turns, saw hundreds of mechanical warriors along the way, and only then entered a relatively dark and strange room.

The density of spiritual energy in the room was significantly higher than outside. There were no lighting fixtures inside, relying only on the faint light emitted by certain facilities in the room.

However, Tang Long could clearly see that inside the room, dozens of cylindrical culture tanks each contained a black creature.

At first glance, these creatures were in human form.

But... they had no facial features, no sexual characteristics, only pure, pitch-black color.

Moreover, their height was clearly taller than normal humans, generally over two meters, and their body proportions were somewhat slender.

Even in the Fire Eye perspective, he could only see that their bodies were filled with pure black spiritual energy.

"Shocking, isn't it? When I found them back then, I was even more shocked than you."

"The time they have existed might be even longer than some New Gods; they should be the earliest batch of Alien God creations."

"Imagine, hundreds of millions of these things, all capable of using the kind of ability you had before, shrouding the earth like shadows. That was probably the scene of the God War Era."

"However, even after millions of years, these things are still producing Heterogeneous Spiritual Energy of extremely high purity inside their bodies."

"If the Alien God didn't want to destroy our world, I would really be willing to acknowledge It as the supreme creator."

Tang Long listened, heart trembling, "Elder Jiang, you say these are Alien God creations? Are you sure?"

Governor Jiang Shiqi was very surprised, "Can you not feel it?"

"They are essentially the same as the things that have newly appeared in the Alien God territories outside the city."

"I also discovered them in an ancient Divine Ruins."

"Christmas Eve, I already entrusted the military to obtain blood samples from some new-generation Alien God minions. Guess what I found?"

"Heh, the Children of the Alien God have also become weaker."

"The spiritual energy density in the blood of these newly appeared Children of the Alien God is not even one-ten-thousandth of these experimental subjects in the culture room."

"Otherwise, the military's attacks would never have stopped so quickly. We certainly would have tried to see if we could completely destroy that Alien God territory."

At this moment, a storm surged in Tang Long's heart.

The game heavenly change appeared when he was around thirty in his previous life; to be precise, it should have been thirty-three.

It operated for seven to eight years in total, with a game timeline spanning over five hundred years.

But Tang Long now suddenly discovered that in the long history of Blue Star, there actually existed other 'game timelines'?

And in the previous version, there were actually these mysterious... game entities left behind?

What the hell is going on?

If there really was a previous version, then... who were the players?

The scene before him had a strong impact on Tang Long's world view of heavenly change.

Things were becoming increasingly confusing and mysterious.

At this time, Jiang Hanwen pressed a button, and immediately, syringe-like facilities began to extract black liquid from each 'game entity'.

These liquids were concentrated into a processing device, and after some processing, they finally became a finger-sized tube of black preparation.

"This is the Heterogeneous Spiritual Essence, the state of the potion you used before it was extracted and diluted."

Jiang Hanwen explained, then pulled him to a central console. On this table lay a black body, alongside four Blue Star human corpses, all in a state of being dissected in various ways.

"The body structure of these Alien God minions is actually very similar to ours."

"But I can't explain why, Heterogeneous Spiritual Energy runs far more smoothly and stably inside their bodies than in human bodies, and the reaction speed is much faster."

"Look."

As Jiang Hanwen spoke, he injected the extracted Heterogeneous Spiritual Essence into one of the Blue Star human corpses, and this corpse immediately displayed an abnormal vitality.

The Heterogeneous Spiritual Energy began to emit colorful light in all his blood vessels, but just as Jiang Hanwen said, it was extremely unstable and extremely uneven.

After a while, the light dimmed until it disappeared, and Jiang Hanwen sighed again.

"The vitality is very poor, and the duration is also very short."

"Occasionally there is one that can last quite a long time, but... it's just about the same as your previous potion experience."

"To tell the truth, so far, we have never stably mastered Heterogeneous Spiritual Energy."

"But you have achieved it."

Saying this, Jiang Hanwen's hand had already patted his shoulder.

"Tell me, which person from The Sect is this research from? I bow down to them."

"No matter the price, my Jiang Family can acquire this achievement."

"You just need to pass the message in between, and I will visit in person later."

"Hanwen!" Governor Jiang Shiqi interrupted him at this moment, then looked at Tang Long with a smile.

"You are afraid of overestimating those bastards from The Sect. After thinking it over, it is impossible for them to be faster than us."

"The reason this power can manifest its true form in Tang Long's hands can only be because... Tang Long is such a special person."

"I guessed right, didn't I? Young man?"

Looking at the gazes cast by the two, Tang Long couldn't help but get goosebumps.

He didn't doubt for a second that these two definitely wanted to dissect him.

So he quickly said, "The Sect's research is indeed not as deep as yours. They don't have such experimental subjects in their hands, nor can they extract such essence; the research has actually reached a dead end."

"Heterogeneous Spiritual Energy does have its wonders, but the uncontrollable factors are too great, and it is impossible to form effective combat power. With the same resources, it is far less effective than focusing on martial arts."

"As for why I can do it... do you really want to know?"

Old Jiang and Young Jiang nodded together.

Tang Long took a deep breath, and a mask of calamity flashed in his hand.

"It is because of the influence of this."

"What is this? A mask?"

Jiang Hanwen just reached out to take it, but was grabbed by Governor Jiang Shiqi and pulled back a few steps.

The old man's eyes showed shock, "This is... a mask of calamity! So you are a Holy Messenger; no wonder The Sect attaches such importance to you!"

Tang Long nodded silently, but Jiang Hanwen looked curious.

"A mask of calamity? Is that the legendary Holy Messenger item that accompanies ominous disasters? Can you lend it to me to study for a while?"

"Hanwen! Don't mess around; this thing is very evil!"

Tang Long also smiled, "It's not that I'm stingy. This thing returns to me on its own every three days, no matter how far apart we are."

"It absorbs my vitality, but it also saves my life at critical moments."

"Are you sure you want to study it?"

Governor Jiang Shiqi quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, hurry up and put it away."

A golden light flashed again, and the mask disappeared from Tang Long's hand.

Old Jiang and Young Jiang were both somewhat melancholy and couldn't speak for a moment.
