Chapter 324

【Irene smiled and shook her head: "The Galaxy Empire has always maintained the concept of peaceful coexistence."】

【"Just like how humans and dragons can live in peace, facts have also proven that we are right."】

【"Under the premise of peaceful development and common progress, the Galaxy Empire has successfully continued to this day."】

【"I also believe that demons are the same; as long as you have intelligence and humanity, then in my opinion, you are human."】

【"Harmonious coexistence, common progress..." Seilah murmured softly.】

Outside the sky screen.

Jiaernadao.

The villagers who were watching the sky screen already had tears in their eyes.

Irene in the sky screen seemed to have spoken their hearts' desires.

Who said that demons are born synonymous with evil?

Who said that demons are all bad guys who kill without blinking?

Who said that demons are born to be hostile to humans?

As demons, they had never thought about these things.

What they thought about was how to survive and how to laugh.

They also contained kindness.

But, just because of the appearance of a demon, they were looked at with prejudiced eyes by people.

Feared by everyone, dreaded by people.

These were never what they wanted.

They also wanted to be treated equally and wanted to move forward hand in hand with humans.

But, the prejudice in people's hearts was like a mountain, firmly oppressing them.

Forcing them to be trapped on the lonely Jiaernadao.

"If only... our world also had a place like the Galaxy Empire, how good would that be?"

The elderly village chief, leaning on a cane, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and murmured softly.

【"By the way, what do you mean by the first batch of experimental creations?"】

【Black Natsu keenly captured the key point and couldn't help but ask.】

【To this, Irene couldn't help but become solemn.】

【"We are about to arrive at the palace, come and see for yourself."】

【As she spoke, Irene's gaze looked into the distance.】

【Amidst the clouds and mist, a gorgeous palace that broke through the clouds faintly came into view.】

【This is the palace of the Galaxy Empire, and it is also where Irene usually stays.】

【The giant dragon landed on the square in front of the palace.】

【Immediately after, under Irene's leadership, Black Natsu and Seilah also entered the palace.】

【And, they went straight to a heavily guarded gate.】

【Because of Irene's presence, the group easily entered this closed gate.】

【And arrived in a huge room filled with experimental equipment.】

【"This is my laboratory; opposite is the experimental site, and at the same time, it is the birthplace of demons!"】

【Irene pointed to the huge transparent glass window on the wall of the laboratory and said.】

【Through the window, one could clearly see countless culture tanks at the other end of the window.】

【"Before you came, you must have heard about the cooperation between the Galaxy Empire and Zeref, right?"】

【Irene turned and asked.】

【Both of them nodded.】

【"So, the project you are cooperating on is demons?"】

【Black Natsu asked.】

【"To be precise... it is life construction technology!"】

【Irene corrected.】

【"Remember, three hundred years ago, the concept of perfect dragonification you mentioned to me?"】

【Black Natsu nodded.】

【"Over these three hundred years, I have been thinking about this problem, but to realize the opening of space in the human body to allow the dragon seed to grow perfectly, there must be data support; simply put, it is examples. After all, there are still many problems that have not been solved, so experiments are needed."】

【Irene explained.】

【"Among them, the choice of experimental subjects made me extremely troubled, because dragon power is not something ordinary people can possess."】

【"And the existing Dragon Slayers in that era had mostly been eroded by dragon power; I once tried to use my own body for experiments, but I had no way to start..."】

【Speaking of this, Irene couldn't help but sigh...】

【"Therefore, over these three hundred years, I have been relying on Belserion's help to suppress the growth of the dragon seed in my body."】

【"This situation continued until a few years ago, with Zeref's arrival."】

【"The method of creating life he mastered opened up new ideas for me."】

【"Perhaps, I can use this method to construct a simulated life form to simulate the state of a Dragon Slayer."】

【"Of course, strictly speaking, this life form does not possess life; it is just a simulation!"】

【Irene said seriously.】

【"This way, subtle adjustments can be made in various aspects based on performance."】

【"Finally, the method for true perfect dragonification is obtained."】

【Listening to Irene's explanation, Black Natsu nodded knowingly.】

【"Simply put, it is to use Zeref's method of creating life to construct a virtual life form, and conduct simulation experiments on this life form, right?"】

【The corners of Irene's mouth curled up slightly: "As expected of you, you understand it immediately!"】

【"So, the cooperation began; we don't know why Zeref agreed to such a request."】

【"That day, he stared at your statue in the square for a long time, and finally agreed to hand over this technology to us."】

【Speaking of this, Irene couldn't help but look at Black Natsu: "I can only say, you really are the lucky star of our empire!"】

【Irene was joking, but Black Natsu's expression gradually became serious.】

【Zeref's actions and so on were getting closer and closer to the direction he had guessed.】

【Irene's voice continued, and Black Natsu had no intention of interrupting, continuing to listen quietly.】

【"Zeref demonstrated the structure of life for us, but due to its complexity, we also studied it deeply for a long time, and only then did we successfully create the first batch of demons born in our empire."】

【"Perhaps because our Galaxy Empire's advanced 4.1 technology was added, the demons created this time were very different from Zeref's."】

【"That is, the ones you saw outside, among which Kyoka has the strongest talent and has now become an indispensable warrior of the empire."】

【"The successful birth of the first batch of demons, as well as the observations over these years, have successfully proven that we have completely mastered life construction technology."】

【"Moreover, the life we constructed is even more stable than Zeref's."】

【"The stability here refers to personality and nature."】

【"Most of the demons created by Zeref are uncontrollable; those who are close to human existence like Seilah, who possess real human emotions, are only a minority."】

【"Wait a minute!"】

【Black Natsu, who had been listening, suddenly stopped Irene.】

【He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became serious.】

【"Does this... count as violating the taboo of life and death?"】

【"The only person in history who violated the taboo was Zeref; he suffered the curse of the god Ankhseram while creating life."】

【"I have seen that kind of curse with my own eyes; this shouldn't be a legend, but a real existence, right?"】

【"Then you... how are you okay?"】
