52: Zhou Yu's brilliant plan brought peace to the world.
The pure white, lifeless walls of the Stasis Chamber bore witness to the most bizarre, extravagant, and sensual feast in the Federation's history.
A full half month.
Chen Jun felt like a super engine that had been meticulously maintained and overclocked, but was only responsible for ignition and not output.
On average, every day, about twenty high-quality women—each one in a hundred million—entered this pure white space, carrying the great mission of "continuing the top Bloodline for their Family, faction, and the Federation," along with the urgent instructions from their elders to absolutely conceive a child.
Their identities varied: there were Female Generals with glorious military achievements and heroic demeanor; female scholars from Scholarly Families, possessing both wisdom and beauty; heirs of ancient artistic schools, with ethereal, immortal temperaments; and some were Young Misses of certain business magnates... All were top-quality Federation women at the War God Peak or Planet-level Peak, possessing stunning looks and immortal grace... Their personalities also differed greatly: some were cold and arrogant, viewing this as a mandatory task; some were lively and bold, even curious about Mr. Chen, this “mysterious big shot”; some were shy and timid, blushing throughout and not daring to open their eyes; and others... well, their 'professional skills' seemed quite proficient, with techniques so skilled they opened Chen Jun's eyes.
But regardless of their mindset or charm upon arrival, before entering the Stasis Chamber, they would all receive almost identical, extremely serious telepathic instructions from the Stellar Level big shots behind them:
"Girl! Remember! The one inside possesses an incomparably noble Bloodline! Put away your temper! If you can leave behind a Bloodline, it will be a monumental fortune for you and your entire lineage! Even if you have to give everything, you must succeed! Remember! Remember!"
These instructions, coupled with the fact that a Stellar Level Old Ancestor had personally arranged the matter and that the person could enter the Stasis Chamber in the Core Zone of the Pillar of Leaders, were enough for these already intelligent girls to imagine grand dramas.
"Could this Mr. Chen... be some ancient existence who lives in seclusion and whose seniority is even higher than Leader Yun Xi's?"
A Female Doctor wearing a research uniform and gold-rimmed glasses secretly scrutinized Chen Jun while recording data, trying to find traces of age in his slightly fatigued eyes.
"It must be! Look, although he seems young, his eyes are profound, carrying the vicissitudes of someone who has seen through the world... Moreover, to have so many Stellar Level Old Ancestors personally accompany him..."
Another girl from a Musical Family added, full of confidence.
"I don't think so. He seems more like... an Unparalleled Mighty Expert who suffered serious injuries and dropped in Realm? And is using this method to recover?"
A Female General's gaze was sharp; she felt Chen Jun's weak state, where no trace of power could be sensed, perfectly matched her guess.
Some even exchanged whispers via telepathic communication:
"Hey, tell me... could he be... Leader Yun Xi's secretly groomed successor? Or... her illegitimate son?"
"Shh! Be careful what you say! But... now that you mention it, it really is possible! Otherwise, how can we explain the Leader's high regard?"
"It must be! Look at his features, look closely, doesn't he resemble the Leader somewhat?"
"Heavens! Then aren't we..."
All sorts of outrageous speculations circulated secretly among the girls, making Chen Jun's identity increasingly mysterious and noble in their hearts.
As a result, their attitude toward Chen Jun was nothing short of utmost respect, carefulness, and even a hint of unconcealed reverence and... longing.
This certainly benefited Chen Jun.
From initial humiliation and numbness, to later resignation, and finally realizing... Huh?
It doesn't seem so bad?
Especially after the System went on strike, and the emptiness of having his lifespan drained disappeared.
He even... kind of enjoyed it?
Especially when the effects of the tonics fully manifested, stacking his physical condition to an unprecedented Peak—making him even more energetic and vigorous than an eighteen-year-old youth—his mindset completely changed.
Screw the humiliation!
Screw being a tool!
Since he couldn't resist anyway, and only had six years of life left, he might as well enjoy himself!
To ensure "success rate," these Stellar Level big shots sent in tonics that were increasingly potent and precious. After consuming them, he felt the illusion that he could punch and destroy an entire building!
Moreover, these girls were all peerless beauties, full of charm, and because they had imagined his "noble identity," they were completely obedient and extremely gentle toward him... This joy was so great he forgot his homeland!
Chen Jun completely gave up and started a shameless "happy" life.
He even began to critique them:
"Hmm, this Female War God's figure is truly explosive, but she's a bit reserved, always keeping a straight face, as if I'm forcing her... But those legs, that waist... tsk tsk."
"Oh? This artsy girl is interesting. She can even use Mental Energy to simulate environments? Under a starry sky? In a sea of flowers? Although they are illusions, the atmosphere is perfect! Professional!"
"Wow! This Commercial Heiress... is so knowledgeable! She knows so much! These techniques... these methods... what kind of business does her Family run?"
"Pfft... Scientist older sister, can you please stop recording data while you're moving? And muttering about 'energy transfer efficiency' and 'gene resonance frequency'... It's really distracting!"
His internal monologue was extremely rich.
However, the happiness belonged to Chen Jun.
Outside, the Stellar Level big shots who had paid a huge price and fought tooth and nail to send their descendants in, saw their mental state gradually shift from initial expectation to anxiety, and finally to frenzy and disbelief!
A day passed, no news.
Two days passed, no movement.
Three days passed... "How is this possible?! My girl is at the Planet-level Peak, her Life Origin is vigorous, how could she not get pregnant?!"
An old Stellar Level Expert paced back and forth restlessly in his palace.
"Has Chen Jun's condition not recovered yet? Hurry! Send another batch of 'Life Crystals' over! Force-feed him until he explodes!"
Another Military Department big shot roared into the communicator.
"Is the method wrong? Quick! Make a copy of the Ancient Dual Cultivation Secret Canon I treasured and send it to my descendant! Tell her to study it carefully!"
All sorts of precious treasures, rumored to "aid conception," were sent into the Stasis Chamber as if they were worthless, practically drowning Chen Jun.
Chen Jun refused no one and accepted everything. His body was nourished until his face glowed red, his Vitality was so vigorous it almost overflowed, making him feel capable of handling a hundred women a night... but the result... was still zero!
Zero!
A full half month!
Over three hundred elite women from all sectors, Families, and factions of the Federation, all at the Planet-level Peak and War God Peak, exhausted every trick, used up all the resources provided by their elders, and even developed several secret chains of experience on “how to please the big shot inside the Stasis Chamber”... yet not a single one succeeded!
Forget about Innate Sun Bodies, Moon Bodies, or Star Bodies.
Not even a... damn thing!
Absolutely nothing...!
...Outside the Stasis Chamber, the atmosphere had shifted from anxious to bizarre.
The Stellar Level big shots gathered spontaneously, their expressions uglier than the last.
"What exactly is going on?!"
Great Emperor Panshi, Shi Yue's voice boomed like muffled thunder, carrying suppressed fury.
"Over three hundred people! Not a single success! That's a lower probability than winning the interstellar lottery!"
"Could it be that Chen Jun... is actually impotent now?"
Someone voiced a suspicion.
"Nonsense! Was the 'Dragon Tiger Origin Pill' I sent in fake? Look at him now, he's stronger than a Star Mastiff!"
Another big shot retorted; he had invested heavily.
"Could it be... the method is wrong? Or perhaps, a specific... ritual is required?"
Someone started speculating toward the metaphysical.
"Ritual my ass! I even brought in a shaman! Specifically, the descendant of the Family skilled in ancient sacrificial civilization! Was it useful?!"
The argument erupted again, this time thick with gunpowder smoke.
Because, how many exchanges of benefits had they made privately for these few spots?
How many promises had they made?
They even nearly came to blows!
And now they tell me it was all for naught?!
Who can accept this?!
"Stop arguing, all of you!"
Dean Xuanji, Mo Heng, stepped forward, his face livid, pushing up his glasses.
"Science! We must adhere to science! What good is baseless conjecture here? We must conduct the most direct examination!"
He demanded the most comprehensive, in-depth, and unreserved physiological inspection of Chen Jun!
This proposal was agreed upon by everyone.
Thus, Chen Jun, who was still savoring the graceful dance of the previous "Dance Family" successor in the Stasis Chamber, was "invited" by the stern-faced Dean Xuanji and several equally solemn Stellar Level big shots into the Federation Academy of Sciences' top Detection Center.
All sorts of strange, sophisticated instruments flashing dangerous lights were aimed at him.
Energy Scans, Gene Sequencing, Life Origin Probes, and even observation equipment involving Laws were utilized... After hours of dazzling examinations... Mo Heng held the final report, his hands trembling.
Losing both the wife and the army! (A double loss!)
He looked at the cold data and conclusions on the report, his face filled with the shock and confusion of a shattered worldview.
He raised his head, looking at the circle of Stellar Level big shots eagerly awaiting the results, his voice dry like sandpaper rubbing:
"The test results... show..."
He took a deep breath and practically roared:
"Chen Jun's... reproductive cell activity... is zero! Completely zero! It's in a state of absolute stillness! It is fundamentally impossible for him to impregnate any woman! Forget Sun Bodies or Moon Bodies, he couldn't even get an ordinary Mortal Body pregnant!"
"We... we spent this entire half month... working for nothing!!!"
Silence!
Deathly silence!
All the Stellar Level big shots were petrified, their expressions a colorful mix of shock, disbelief, fury, resentment, and heartache... After all that effort!
The descendants they fought tooth and nail for, paying huge prices to send in, and who served him for half a month, were servicing a... "pretty face"?!
Good for looking at, useless for use?!
"Ah—!! My Ten Thousand Year Blood Coral! The Resource Star I promised away!!"
One big shot beat his chest and stamped his feet in anguish.
"My Supreme Secret Medicine!!!"
Another big shot nearly suffered a Dao Heart collapse.
"So... the reason Yue Hua, Xuanji, Su Yao, and Liu Ruyan succeeded was because he still had activity back then? Did we... over-nourish him later? Or... did he use it all up?!"
Someone tried to find a scientific explanation.
"What's the use of talking about this now!!"
Shi Yue furiously smashed his fist onto a nearby instrument.
"Waste! A huge waste! What a disgrace! What a disgrace!..."
The crowd endured another round of chaotic complaints, furious curses, and heartache... Finally, the group of Stellar Level big shots gathered together, looking dejected like frostbitten eggplants...
