Chapter 919: Chapter 929: The Enfeoffment! (Four Updates)

If you look closely, you’ll find that inside is a glob of yellow liquid!

But this liquid is no ordinary liquid—it’s truly viscous. More critically, inside the spherical container, it moves ever so slowly, as though it’s a living organism.

Yet, it’s merely a glob of viscous liquid!

Giger stood beside the liquid, looking up at it, his eyes narrowing slowly.

"It only produces a single drop of liquid every week, so experiments can only be conducted once a week. My lord, you must understand, without this substance, there’s no way to proceed with any experiments!" said the professor beside him.

"I know. Our time is running short. We must carry out the experiments as quickly as possible. If Xuan Country truly intends to expose our plan, then we will go down fighting. The plan is close to fruition!" Giger said.

Just then, a drop of liquid seeped out of the viscous yellow substance inside the glass sphere.

"That thing is out—I’ll prepare the experiment right away!" the professor said.

"Alright!" Giger replied coldly.

Very quickly, the liquid secreted from the viscous yellow substance was taken by the professor, and in the lab, everyone began working.

Soon, that drop of liquid was brought to a room filled with raw stones and corpses.

The Life Project resumed!

Meanwhile, on Xuan Country’s side, Tang Zhong had yet to make any progress with his research. From the raw stones, he couldn’t obtain the answers he was seeking.

So he shifted all his research focus onto the corpses of Benny and his two teammates.

Unable to find a breakthrough in the raw stones, he could only search through these remains.

Finally, Tang Zhong discovered the anomaly.

In Benny’s body, there was indeed a force tied to the raw stones. But aside from the raw stones’ power, there was another strange force.

It was this force that fully activated Benny and his teammates’ genes, bringing them back to life.

As everyone knows, human life is comprised of cells. When cells are active, it means a person is alive.

So Tang Zhong began studying this mysterious force, only to discover it was untraceable. It was a type of energy he’d never encountered before. He was certain that the miraculous resurrection was caused by the combination of this mysterious force and the raw stone’s power.

Tang Zhong felt an undeniable urgency bubbling up inside him.

What kind of power existed in Yun Country?

Tang Zhong wanted desperately to investigate further, but now was definitely not the time to act rashly. If he rushed ahead, he would uncover nothing; this energy was undoubtedly a closely guarded secret in Yun Country.

For now, searching for the stones remained Tang Zhong’s highest priority.

At least now he understood the origins of the Sacrificial Clan—unexpectedly, they were incredibly powerful. What kind of place was the Maya Temple?

The Maya civilization, once known for predicting the apocalypse, turned out to simply be pawns of the Maya Temple.

And then there were the Holy Stones. Tang Zhong possessed three complete ones, a half Soul Stone, and a small fragment of the Defense Stone. Only intact stones could integrate into one’s body; fragments were entirely useless.

Currently, Tang Zhong’s foremost concern was continuing the search for these Holy Stones.

But before long, Tang Zhong was summoned back to the Dragon Group by Elder General Peng Yuan.

As soon as they met, Elder General Peng Yuan delivered a shocking piece of news.

"Quick... quickly gear up and come with me to Xuanguan Sea. The Martial Realm Minister wants to personally preside over your Divine Dragon General inauguration ceremony!"

Tang Zhong’s inauguration as Divine Dragon General should’ve been held much earlier, but due to his mission in Anzai, it was delayed. Then, after returning from Anzai, Tang Zhong had been fully consumed by researching the raw stones—this dragged on for over a month, further postponing the ceremony.

This time, no further delay was possible. Thus, Elder General Peng Yuan came to personally fetch Tang Zhong.

To be honest, Peng Yuan greatly admired Tang Zhong. The Divine Dragon General title was incredibly prestigious—Tang Zhong would be only the eighth person in Xuan Country to ever receive it. Most would abandon all other tasks in excited anticipation of their inauguration. But Tang Zhong? He set aside such honor to focus on his work.

Therefore, Peng Yuan now had to enforce it.

"But... Elder General, I’m still in the middle of research!" Tang Zhong protested.

"No way. We finally have a title-bearing general within the Dragon Group—there’s no way you’re skipping this!" Elder General Peng Yuan huffed, his beard bristling and his eyes bulging.

"Alright..." Tang Zhong reluctantly agreed.

A title-bearing general meant little to him. But seeing the deep sentiment in the Elder General’s expression, he decided to go anyway.

After all, Peng Yuan had worked so hard to secure this for him—it would truly hurt the Elder General’s feelings if he refused.

"Fine, I’ll go find myself a clean outfit," Tang Zhong said. He’d been so immersed in his research that he’d been wearing the same clothes for nearly three days.

"No need, I’ve already prepared one for you!" Elder General Peng Yuan hurriedly brought out a brand-new military uniform.

It was neatly folded and ready!

Tang Zhong felt a bit embarrassed.

"I’ll go change..." Tang Zhong said, reaching for the uniform.

"Change right here—I can’t let you run off again!" Elder General Peng Yuan barked.

"Huh?" Tang Zhong was completely taken aback.

But this was an office!

In the end, under Peng Yuan’s watchful eyes, Tang Zhong took off his clothes and changed into the uniform.

The fresh military attire fit Tang Zhong perfectly, making him look exceptionally dashing. Standing tall at 1.8 meters with a toned and muscular physique, Tang Zhong was the ideal model for the uniform. The sight of him dressed in the immaculate military outfit was captivating enough to make the world go wild.

"You look incredible! Check yourself out in the mirror!" Elder General Peng Yuan praised with a smile.

Curious, Tang Zhong walked over to the mirror and gazed at his reflection, sinking into thought.

He recalled the first time he’d donned this military uniform—back then, he had been young. Now, at twenty years old, the image reflected in the mirror carried traces of weariness.

"Weiwei, do you see this? Your husband... he’s very handsome!"

At that moment, the door unexpectedly opened.

Vermilion Bird walked in and announced, "Elder General, Xuanguan Sea just sent envoys asking if Tang... Tang General is ready."

As soon as she entered, her gaze fell on Tang Zhong in the military uniform, and she froze in awe. In that instant, her heart seemed to melt. She had never imagined Tang Zhong could look so strikingly handsome.

"Alright, I understand. I’ll escort Tang Zhong over immediately. Hey, Vermilion Bird, what’s wrong? Why are you standing there motionless?" Elder General Peng Yuan said to Vermilion Bird.

But Vermilion Bird was utterly dazed.

It wasn’t until the Elder General called out a second time that Vermilion Bird finally snapped to her senses, her face flushing red.

"Elder General..."

"It’s normal to be impressed—take your time admiring him. Young Tang is single, after all. You should make the most of it..." Elder General Peng Yuan chuckled wryly, knowing any maiden’s heart would flutter before this sight.

"Ah..." Vermilion Bird’s face grew even redder, but as thoughts of Tang Zhong’s affections for someone else arose in her mind, she quickly dismissed the idea.

Just then, Tang Zhong finished adjusting his attire and said with a smile, "Let’s go. Xuanguan Sea awaits!"
