685: Gossip

One hundred kilometers away.

The current Universe's Void Realm.

Dr. Bai frowned when he saw Yang Dian return carrying the meter-long Emerald Dragon God:

"Why has it become so small again?"

"Didn't its body length already reach ten thousand meters before?"

"It was 9999.999 meters, not ten thousand meters!" After emphasizing the error in Lao Bai's words, Yang Dian smiled a little sheepishly:

"Uh, I ate the rest."

Thinking of the taste of the sister, Yang Dian subconsciously swallowed again:

"It's a pity, Lao Bai, that you're only a brain left and have no taste System. You don't know how delicious this Emerald Dragon God is."

"Otherwise, I would have definitely shared some with you."

Dr. Bai glanced at Yang Dian:

"The final processing location for smell and taste information is in the cerebral cortex."

"Although I have separated these two useless sensory cells, I can reconnect them in a short time if I want to."

Yang Dian blinked, then offered Stia, who was beyond caring about life and unable to die, towards Lao Bai:

"How about creating a body for yourself and having a taste?"

Dr. Bai looked at the Emerald Dragon God that Yang Dian offered him, subconsciously swallowed, then shook his head.

"Forget it."

"Having a body would give me many unnecessary desires, which would affect my focus on scientific research. So I won't create one."

"Perhaps when Huaxia stands at the pinnacle of the Universe and is no longer in danger of perishing, I will create a body for myself again."

"This is fine for now."

Yang Dian did not agree with Lao Bai's idea.

He definitely couldn't bear to be a brain, trapped in a nutrient pod for his entire life.

But that didn't mean Yang Dian didn't admire him.

"Don't worry, I believe that day won't be far off."

"When Huaxia stands at the pinnacle of the Universe, I'll treat you to a foot bath at the foot massage parlor."

Lao Bai couldn't help but smile:

"Can't you have a little ambition? You can already explode stars with your strength, and you're still thinking about foot massages?"

"Why not?" Yang Dian said righteously:

"If you don't get a foot massage, you won't understand. Only when you do will you know the wonders of a foot massage parlor."

"Relaxing, chatting, easing the body—Xiao Mei at the foot massage parlor is truly talented."

"What's more, in the future, the Young Misses at the foot massage parlor will definitely be carefully selected from various Alien Planets."

"By then, there won't just be elves and furries; there might also be Heavenly Masters, succubi, ship girls..."

"Without leaving the city, you can experience the infinite charm of various Alien Races in the Universe."

"This is proof of our Huaxia's power!"

"When I retire, if I have nothing to do, I'll go to the foot massage parlor to experience the customs of Alien Races..."

Seeing Yang Dian's increasingly outlandish remarks, Dr. Bai waved his hand to interrupt his fantasy:

"Alright, alright, let's talk about future matters later."

"Tell me about it." Dr. Bai pointed at the Emerald Dragon God in Yang Dian's hand, his eyes filled with a longing for the unknown.

"It has achieved matter and energy conversion, right?"

"Compared to its ten-thousand-meter body length, it has almost been 'eaten' by you, but it still retains its complete form."

"So what you 'ate' from it was the energy it contained, right?"

Yang Dian nodded:

"Right."

Casually making a cut on Stia's body, while it displayed a damaged beauty, Yang Dian also poked at its wound and said:

"Look, this is its flesh and Bloodline. It has already crystallized, but it still possesses the elasticity and explosiveness of flesh and Bloodline."

As he spoke, Yang Dian slightly bent his five fingers and raised his hand to absorb.

The emerald green Bloodline turned into energy and was absorbed by Yang Dian into his palm. Stia instinctively trembled and shrunk by an inch, its body length finally less than a meter.

"Flesh and Bloodline that leaves the body will turn into energy."

"If you put the energy back into its body, the energy will turn back into flesh and Bloodline, or become extraordinary power stored in its Dragon Heart."

"In short, its flesh and Bloodline can freely convert between matter and energy, which is very magical."

"It's not that magical," Lao Bai said, shaking his head:

"Some Awakened, after reaching the Late Stage of extraordinary power, can also elementalize and turn themselves into elements."

"There's still a difference between the two." Yang Dian had a different opinion:

"An Awakened's elementalization is more like a skill, constantly consuming energy."

"But its conversion is more like an instinct."

As he spoke, a silver light flashed on Yang Dian's fingertip, and Stia's pair of wings silently fell off.

Casually stuffing the Dragon wings into his spatial ring, Yang Dian tossed the ring and looked at Lao Bai:

"Today, I'll cut off a pair of wings for you first. You can take them and research them. I'll cut other things for you later."

Yang Dian really cut off Stia's wings, but Dr. Bai was no longer in a hurry:

"Forget it, researching perfect lifeforms isn't urgent. I'll first resolve the issue of spatial nodes."

"Regarding the inability of technological items to pass through spatial nodes, I've already made some progress. It's a special kind of spatial particle generated when planets overlap that damages precision instruments."

"But this special spatial particle is also the fundamental energy that maintains the spatial nodes."

"Now, if I can just find a way to assimilate or deactivate this special spatial particle, I can allow scientific creations to pass through spatial nodes and travel to Alien Planets."

"While researching spatial particles, I'm also researching a spatial jump device."

"Once I've completed these two researches, it won't be too late to research perfect lifeforms."

As he spoke, Lao Bai looked at Stia again:

"Speaking of which, my bio-armor hasn't been updated in a long time."

"Perhaps after researching perfect lifeforms, my bio-armor can be updated several versions in a row."

After a moment of anticipation for the future, Dr. Bai then thought of the question he had wanted to ask earlier, but which had been interrupted by Yang Dian's foot massage theory.

"Oh right, what's special about this perfect lifeform?"

"How could it make you so engrossed that you 'ate' it until only this much was left."

"According to your previous methods, if the energy contained in its body had great use, you should have kept a good amount to Cultivate others, right?"

Yang Dian casually stroked Stia twice:

"Didn't I keep some?"

"I'm telling you, it's not that I wanted to 'eat' it until only this much was left; it had to be only this much." Yang Dian said righteously:

"By devouring Stia, one can optimize body structure and enhance one's physical essence."

"In short, its flesh and Bloodline not only strengthen the body but also enhance Cultivation Aptitude."

"However, its flesh and Bloodline are highly corrosive."

"If someone with a significant difference in strength consumes its flesh and Bloodline, although it can also strengthen the body and improve Aptitude, their Bloodline will be affected by it and they will turn into a small Dragon person."

"Moreover, this transformation is a fundamental Bloodline transformation and is irreversible."

"Even now, I've reduced its strength to the Star-Patrolling Realm, but only those with Martial Dao Level 6 or higher strength can digest its flesh and Bloodline without being affected by it."

"And even then, they can only digest it slowly, bit by bit. Too much will cause problems."
