141: Being researched, malicious technology

Three days later, Lin Chen, who had undergone various tests, was radiant, clearly having gained a lot.

Dr. Jin, standing beside him, was equally spirited, his eyes filled only with a passion for scientific research and the excitement of the unknown about to be explored, having already abandoned the pursuit of cultivation advancement.

All cultivators who embark on the path of scientific research initially possess a pure love for research and a desire to explore the unknown, as scientific research is indeed very monotonous.

Once one enters the gate of scientific research, they can never again put down their textbooks for the rest of their lives; knowledge seems endless, and the more one learns, the more ignorant one feels, and the more one understands the profoundness of truth.

Lin Chen’s gains were not numerous, but they were extremely significant.

Through various tests, he gained a more fundamental understanding of the power of malice.

Malice, a power that originally stemmed from the world itself.

The initial malice was not as it is now; it was merely a simple power, one of the components of the world, and it occupied a very, very small share, not even counting as a cornerstone for constructing the world.

As the world expanded (cosmic expansion, birth of planets), the power of malice naturally grew, but compared to other powers, its growth rate was very slow and it could not have any profound impact on the development of the universe itself.

It was only when the first living being was conceived that malice entered a new stage of growth, acquiring an object to govern.

When living beings first emerged, whether it was the harsh living environment or the irresistible changes in the world, they all made living beings feel the malice of the world.

This malice calmly targeted all living beings because it was inherently a part of the world.

And with the birth of the first intelligent being, the second and most important source of malice emerged.

The world's malice equally targeted every intelligent being; intelligent beings grew in malice, treating the world with an equal attitude, and in this process, the malice belonging to living beings was born.

This power of malice, supplemented by new power, grew rapidly and became intertwined with the various living beings in the world.

Every living being interprets the world from their own perspective, thereby forming various cognitions of the world, and a part of this cognition is malice towards all things in the world.

Just as the desires of all living beings are the concretization of malice, when the desires of all living beings intertwine, they form the Evil of All Living Beings.

Afterward, the first wisp of malice entered the Land of Slumber, and the source of malice was born, the universe entered a period of pervasive malice, and malice truly became one of the most prominent explicit powers in the universe, affecting all aspects of cosmic development.

Because Lin Chen had some understanding of the essence of malice, his control over malice reached a new level, increasing the upper limit of malice he could withstand from the previous ten times to the current thousand times.

As long as the malice absorbed in a short period does not reach a thousand times his mastery of malice, he is not in danger of being eroded and corrupted by malice, greatly improving his fault tolerance.

Moreover, under subjective suppression, he would not foolishly absorb malice at the upper limit; instead, he would absorb as much malice as he could master, and only after fully mastering the malice within him would he absorb new malice, repeating this cycle as the correct path.

Not only that, he also demystified the source of malice.

The source of malice is merely a living being that was eroded by malice at an earlier time; it is not much nobler than him, only having a first-mover advantage.

As long as he has enough opportunities, it is not impossible for him to overtake it through a curve.

The sleeping source of malice would not anticipate that a cheater would replace him in the future; by the time he reacts, Lin Chen would have already grown and possessed the ability to threaten him.

In the future, as long as Lin Chen initiates a struggle for status with the source of malice, the Foundation Level powerhouses of the Human Race will definitely stand behind him and assist him.

If the source of malice is controlled by the Human Race, and the Human Race becomes the source of the Evil of All Living Beings, this will undoubtedly be a great help to the Human Race's process of unifying the universe.

Therefore, the source of malice is a lone wolf, but Lin Chen is not; he has many helpers.

One Foundation Level cannot contend with the source of malice, but dozens of Foundation Level powerhouses of the Human Race can definitely suppress the source of malice, providing Lin Chen with an opportunity to replace it.

Lin Chen gained greatly and clarified his path forward.

Dr. Jin also gained a lot, being able to research technologies that utilize malice based on his current research on it.

Malice is the most abundant energy in the world at this stage.

From the ethereal to the tangible, various energy forms exist; it can be said that as long as malice can be utilized, the technological products derived from malice will be countless.

Attack equipment that uses malice for offense, defensive equipment that defends against malice, transportation equipment driven by malice, communication equipment that transmits information using malice, and so on, all have the possibility of being researched and developed.

The Godfiend Research Institute in the past only focused on defense and suppression of malice, and with the human luck and the Human Fire boiling within the Federal Territory, expelling and suppressing malice was already the utmost they could achieve.

But with Lin Chen, a pure Malice Incarnation living being, as the research subject, the deeper mysteries of malice were revealed to Dr. Jin; as long as Dr. Jin produces research results, other researchers at the Godfiend Research Institute will naturally follow up, continuously advancing the process of malice technologization.

It won't be long before Dr. Jin can achieve godhood.

And because of the birth of malice-derived technology, more research-oriented cultivators will benefit from it.

Many years ago, Old Ancestor Shen transformed into the Human Race's second moon, hanging high above the Human Race, improving the energy environment where the Human Race resided, which had a profound impact on cultivators of the lunar and stellar systems, effectively ushering in a small version era.

Now, Lin Chen and Dr. Jin have also opened up a version era; the good era for research-oriented cultivators is about to arrive, and the Malice Technology Era will undoubtedly influence the entire Federation's strategic development.

Of course, this era will require a very long time to fully develop to its peak, and the most crucial factor is still Lin Chen's upper limit.

The malice that can be used now must first be mastered by Lin Chen, and then released, before it can be utilized by researchers.

The difficulty of utilizing wild, primal malice is still very high, but it is not unusable; it is just not as easy to use as the malice produced by Lin Chen, and it is less safe.

As long as it can be used, that's what matters; this is a groundbreaking progress from zero to one.

The Human Race has many researchers, and by combining their wisdom, they can always develop methods to reduce the difficulty of using wild, primal malice.

Moreover, it is not necessary to directly use malice for various purposes from the start; one can first focus on creating peripheral products such as malice containment, expulsion, and suppression, and then gradually improve the application of malice step by step.

The creation and application of any technological product are not achieved overnight, especially the malice technology system, which has little accumulation; it should be developed slowly, accumulating experience bit by bit, until the time of the malice technology explosion.

“You little geezer, go play by yourself. I need to go into seclusion for scientific research. This time, I won't come out until I produce a major research result.”

The small Dr. Jin was surrounded by various data, all of which originated from Lin Chen and were real data about the power of malice.

As long as Dr. Jin can comprehend the data, he can move to the practical stage, creating technological constructs that rely on malice, and promoting the establishment of the malice technology system.

Once this achievement is realized, Dr. Jin becoming a god will be a matter of moments, and his future prospects will be vast, at the very least growing to the level of a main god, directly raising the upper limit of the research system to the main god level.

It's not that Dr. Jin is powerful, but that Lin Chen is powerful, and the power of malice is awesome.

The primordial malice was just useless, but the current malice is simply a great father, making the entire universe feel both ecstatic and tormented, and the development of the universe itself can no longer avoid the influence of this power of malice; all living beings of all races are also immersed in this cesspit of malice.

One cannot escape the environment; one can only adapt to it and utilize it.

Survival of the fittest.
