Chapter 578: NuoWa's Suggestion

Main universe.

Luna Base.

Inside the laboratory located in the core region and guarded by the Imperial Guard.

"Father, is he my... brother?"

A boy about 1.3 meters tall, appearing to be around seven or eight years old, pressed his whole body against the transparent wall, asking while looking at the things inside the transparent wall.

Most importantly, the boy's skin is dark, with muscle definition not typical for his age.

And he is precisely the twenty-second offspring of the Human Emperor (Sui Bian), inheriting the title of Lord of the Fire Dragon, reborn using Umbrella technology and the Emperor's Spiritual Energy——

Wokan.

Even if Umbrella used extremely high biotechnology to adjust, making Wokan's skin no longer charcoal black, he is still much darker than the skin of an ordinary OriginalBody.

As for appearance…

Although he is currently only three years old and still looks cute, it's easy to imagine that once he reaches adulthood, he will definitely be as rugged as Rus.

Yes, from the redemption of his soul to his rebirth up to now, Wokan's actual age is just over three years.

In terms of ruggedness, it's unavoidable; Wokan is not an OriginalBody known for appearance, but his features and visage, influenced by Spiritual Energy, resemble Sui Bian by about twenty percent, at least looking somewhat more handsome than before.

At this moment, inside this laboratory are many people in white coats, top experts in their respective fields, focusing on their assigned equipment and matters.

At the same time, Sui Bian and the Plague Doctor are also standing not far behind Wokan, as well as beside the transparent wall where Wokan is lying.

In fact, the transparent wall is actually a cylindrical large culture dish filled with nutrient solution, and the 'brother' that Wokan asked Sui Bian about is located at the center of the culture dish.

Furthermore, this 'brother' has the size of a one-year-old infant, with fair skin and blond short hair; just from this posture one can tell that when he grows up, his appearance will certainly be no less than that of the OriginalBodies of Shengjilesi and Fugeruimu.

An Na Jin.

His surname naturally inherits the Sui surname of the Emperor.

At this moment, An Na Jin, who has lost all memories of his previous life, slowly opened his eyes.

However, the first thing this child saw was the Plague Doctor wearing a bird-beak mask and black outer robe, who exclaimed, 'This child actually has a kind and pure heart?! Unbelievable…'

!!

This caused the just-awakened An Na Jin to be utterly shocked.

Fortunately, as a faint golden Spiritual Energy aura appeared, wrapping around An Na Jin's still rather weak body, he finally steadied himself and fell back into sleep.

Regarding this.

The Plague Doctor is already accustomed to this; every newly reborn OriginalBody goes through this because of his peculiar appearance.

And Sui Bian, after comforting An Na Jin, slightly shifted his gaze, looked at Wokan still lying against the transparent wall with a face full of curiosity, and revealed a rare gentle smile:

"Yes, he is your brother. Once he can break free from the life-support equipment stage, you will need to help me teach him together."

"Okay, Father! I will take good care of him!" Wokan's voice, though very childish, was firm beyond doubt.

Only three years old and already three years old—this is the difference between ordinary people and OriginalBodies.

Although Wokan is indeed young for an OriginalBody, his thinking and mindset are already comparable to that of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old ordinary child.

"." Sui Bian didn't say anything else, just smiled and nodded.

This child Wokan is truly reassuring.

Like Fugeruimu, Peturabo, and Motarian at three years old, they might still get into fights or burst into tears over some trivial 'small matter'.

For example, once three-year-old Motarian inexplicably became very fond of **coffee, but ended up dirtying Fugeruimu's white short-sleeve, staining it, and the two argued until 'darkness overwhelmed heaven and earth'.

In the end it turned into mutual choking; even if other brothers tried to stop them, they still managed to 'blow up' the dormitory where they all lived together.

However, Wokan has always been 'honest,' 'stubborn,' and eager to learn, and he naturally possesses strong curiosity and talent for forging weapons.

Whenever Sui Bian is unavailable to personally teach him, Wokan will alone in his room read classics, or use materials given by the White Empress to try forging weapons.

At the same time, Wokan also likes to feed small animals, such as the cats and dogs brought by researchers to Luna Base for stress relief and boredom relief, which have become his 'best friends'.

Thus Sui Bian spent some time cultivating a fire dragon juvenile for Wokan.

That fire dragon juvenile has dark reddish-orange scales, light black wings, four claws; although it will surely be no less than any Greek god's beast when grown, its temperament is very gentle, similar to its master Wokan.

Fire Dragon

In fact, as early as nearly a century ago, the Plague Doctor, through the demonic entities of the 03 Universe, developed a method using pure Spiritual Energy to cultivate the legendary pure Spiritual Energy beings, or 'war beasts'.

For example, the Space Wild Wolves legion has countless giant wolves and ice dragons, while the Dark Angel legion has numerous griffins.

Although there is no explicit rule, when an OriginalBody obtains their first war beast, they usually have already established their own legion and determined its style.

Seeing that Wokan has no peers of his age, Sui Bian, unwilling to bother with those rules, directly handed over the fire dragon war beast early to this young son.

And facing the An Na Jin who has just regained his soul, Sui Bian prepares to have Wokan assist in guiding him.

Hopefully under the influence of the Lord of the Fire Dragon, the former Dark Overlord can embody the Plague Doctor's appraisal of 'kindness' and 'purity'.

As for this An Na Jin, who shares the name with the destined Force balance from Star Wars, his early experiences are also similar to those in the Star Wars films.

The An Na Jin of the 101 Universe has been extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy—or should I say the Force—since childhood, relying on his mother, until he met two warriors who claimed to be of the 'Light Faction'.

From then on, An Na Jin completely embarked on the path of no return.

Whether it's his mother's death, his wife's difficult labor, his master's 'betrayal,' etc., everything is hardly different from Star Wars.

An Na Jin, who possesses decent foresight, before those tragedies unfolded, knelt before the warriors of the Light Holy Palace to seek advice on saving his relatives, but the reply was only 'go with the flow' and 'keep your original heart'.

An Na Jin could not understand!

Ironically, just as his fate was about to turn, his master disappeared.

Finally, Palpatine Palpatine lured him with 'Come, child, I have a way to save your family,' and he fully committed to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader.

Actually, these are all traps set for An Na Jin by Tzeentch through various 'chance events'.

However, judging by Tzeentch's preferences, this is more like a predestined script to satisfy its penchant for 'tasting' extreme emotions.

As for why An Na Jin so despises Palpatine Palpatine.

Initially, broadly speaking, it is still similar to Star Wars; An Na Jin feels Palpatine is a 'trash' full of lies, and the dark side continually inflates his ambition.

Later on, it was because Pa'erfu, in order to make An Na Jin completely become the Dark Lord, used illusions and other means, forcing An Na Jin to personally kill his own children.

After the illusions shattered and seeing his son and daughter's corpses separated, An Na Jin completely collapsed and then utterly became a 'tool' of Pa'erfu.

However, the seed of hatred had already been planted.

An Na Jin appeared willing on the surface, but privately he was continually cultivating his own power, after all Pa'erfu possessed a dark force or chaotic Spiritual Energy that steadily overpowered him.

Seeing this, Jianqi naturally was 'overjoyed' to offer An Na Jin indirect, or direct, assistance.

Because it could not wait to see the two become enemies, letting the First Empire fall again into boundless war, to taste the sweetness of revenge, yet feeling utterly helpless and empty.

If An Na Jin followed Jianqi's plan step by step, falling into the endless abyss and becoming a true chaos devotee, then Jianqi would gain a new great demon.

Moreover, Jianqi believed that An Na Jin could become its strongest chief great demon, possessing combat power in the physical universe to oppose the OriginalBody, even the Human Emperor.

Only 'unfortunately' the plan did not proceed smoothly as Jianqi had hoped; it did not expect Sui Bian's sudden rise, which would choose to personally enter the First 01 Universe.

Otherwise, Jianqi would have been reluctant to let go at the start, preferring to engage in a game rather than directly relinquish.

But seeing Sui Bian act seriously, intending to destroy the physical universe of the First 01, in order to avoid involvement, Jianqi decisively chose to withdraw.

Thus, An Na Jin, who could have become Jianqi's great demon, instead became the Human Empire's newborn OriginalBody.

'Wokan.'

At this time, Sui Bian again asked his son: 'Do you wish to stay here and continue observing, or return with me to the Imperial Palace?'

'I want to look at him a bit more.' Wokan stared without blinking.

Because watching An Na Jin grow slowly at a minuscule yet perceptible speed made Wokan recall his own ignorant, naive childhood.

Furthermore, upon learning he was an older brother, Wokan's protective urge surged, giving him a feeling of wanting to protect the other at all times.

Seeing that.

Sui Bian merely shook his head slightly, not disturbing Wokan too much, and left the laboratory together with the Plague Doctor.

Walking out.

Then ten Imperial Guards in black-gold armor and white-tasseled black robes surrounded the area, all walking together toward the central hall of Luna Base.

However, among these ten Imperial Guards, there was no Kangstanting, who usually attended the Emperor's side.

Because at this moment the Imperial Guard commander was leading half the Imperial Guards and the Solar Auxilia, with the White Empress's assistance, continuing to launch an occupation operation on the galaxy of the First 01 Universe.

No matter how you say it, it is still galactic-scale territory, and the First Empire still has many leftover facilities, shipyards, and ready weapons and ships; if not thoroughly 'plundered' and brought over, Sui Bian would feel a bit obsessive-compulsive.

During the walk.

'Doctor, how is your research progressing?'

'Ah, Mr. Sui, your request is really too difficult for me; to have the whole populace ascend while avoiding becoming pure energy beings is almost beyond my capability.'

Hearing the Plague Doctor's difficulty, Sui Bian's demeanor remained unchanged, without disappointment or anger.

While Sui Bian himself was seeking a way for all humanity to ascend, he also entrusted the ancient sages' research on Spiritual Energy to the Plague Doctor, and proposed the requirements to avoid repeating the ancient sages' mistakes and to avoid becoming pure energy beings.

But as the Plague Doctor said, he does not count as a 'specialist' in this field; he can only 'know a little'.

'No problem, no need to rush.' Sui Bian then advised the other, 'We still have plenty of time; moreover, until we completely resolve the anomalous space, I will not let the entire empire ascend directly.'

'All right, Mr. Sui, then I'll keep trying.' The Plague Doctor nodded in agreement, but soon shifted tone and became quite serious: 'But Mr. Sui, please don't forget the remuneration we agreed upon.'

Although the two have been old friends for several hundred years and have cooperated in various ways, whenever the topic of 'remuneration' comes up, the Plague Doctor becomes extremely meticulous, afraid of forgetting.

'Tomorrow I will have the Imperial Guard send ten New Kryptonians to your laboratory.' Sui Bian said this as he was already accustomed to doing.

Mentioning New Krypton.

Sui Bian had not paid attention to it for a long time.

Using Psychic Gaze to look around, he saw that the priests who regarded him as a deity and had obtained the essence of 'Human Truth' had already unified more than ten city-states, and were preparing to unify the entire peninsula and even the land.

Seeing this scene, Sui Bian had no intention of intervening, but instead he dispatched a squad of Imperial Guards to New Krypton to have the Plague Doctor apprehend ten New Kryptonians meeting the conditions, who were deeply sinful.

Under the light of the yellow dwarf star that Sui Bian had pinched out with his bare hands, the physical fitness of the New Kryptonians was generally on par with that of century-old Astartes veterans.

However, the New Kryptonians were a humanoid race born from Sui Bian's blood poured into the primordial ocean and his repeated experiments, and they are fundamentally different from the Kryptonians of the 07 Universe (modified DC).

In a certain sense, the New Kryptonians are likewise one of Sui Bian's many offspring.

Unless Sui Bian actively intervenes, under the original will's influence, New Krypton could not produce a special individual like Clark Kent.

Therefore, a squad of six Imperial Guards going covertly to select and capture ten New Kryptonians is more than sufficient.

Parting ways with the Plague Doctor.

Sui Bian and the accompanying Imperial Guards directly activated short-range teleportation, returning to the Imperial Palace merely 'only' four hundred thousand kilometers away.

Next.

Sui Bian may have to 'stay' in the palace for a long time with Magnus, continuing to perfect the 'disintegration' strategies against lustful deities, Jianqi and others, and continually researching to find a way for the entire empire to ascend safely and smoothly.

Furthermore, Sui Bian also prepares to try the advice given by NuoWa.

This 'daughter' of his said that although the empire's current scale and energy cannot reach hundreds or thousands of multiverses, it is fine to randomly or selectively pick out a few fellow humans on the many Earths undergoing upheaval and disaster, making them 'reincarnators'.

This way, those individuals can not only help more compatriots deal with upheaval and disaster, but also attempt to formally engage the 'reincarnators' chosen by evil gods and demons.
