Chapter 1875: Longevity Technique Scheme

Xia Duo realized he had been a bit too confident; even if a rapid and intense genetic collapse phenomenon had never appeared on Earth, that was not necessarily the case in the world of Magic.

Although the two worlds possessed very similar appearances, their inner essences were vastly different, and the closer one got to the domain of the essence of things, the greater the differences became.

"I should have thought of this earlier!"

Xia Duo could not help but feel a bit annoyed, but he could not say he regretted it; at present, he did not have any good methods for how to purify the special bloodline produced after Magic Energy Infection.

It was, at best, a case of treating a dead horse as if it were alive; if any other Elf were to do it, they might have just euthanized it directly without even trying!

Inside the Laboratory.

Xia Duo did not continue to extract mutants for experimentation, but instead found a place to sit down and re-examine the previous experimental process.

This time, he did not treat himself as a stakeholder in the experiment, but rather as an observer, scrutinizing this experiment from another perspective.

After pondering for a moment, he discovered where the crux of the problem lay: he wanted to purify the mutant's bloodline, but the bloodline was not necessarily some concrete thing, but more likely some kind of information.

The process of Disintegrate Magic Energy was more like breaking some concrete thing, or rather, it was a special bloodline that had already formed a fixed framework.

The already-formed special bloodline might be the mutant itself, and forcibly breaking it could only lead to the mutant exploding and dying directly.

"If this is the case, a more reasonable approach would be to find a way to make the bloodline traits express as recessive; this would be equivalent to purifying this special bloodline."

Xia Duo thought silently.

But how could one change bloodline traits?

Xia Duo thought of the Bloodline Sequencing Project currently underway at the Jilan Tower in the Main Plane; they certainly had ways to manipulate bloodline sequences.

Even if they could not manipulate them precisely, and did not know the Principles of how bloodline sequences corresponded to trait expression, as long as they could manipulate them, there would be a way to change a certain existing bloodline.

This is what is commonly referred to as "destruction is easier than creation."

But unfortunately, before Xia Duo entered the Projection Plane, he had not anticipated encountering this current situation; furthermore, the four new Mages from the Tower of Time he had sent to Jilan Tower had only just joined the Bloodline Sequencing Project and had not yet had time to send back any useful news.

"This is troublesome!"

Xia Duo knew that wanting to research a set of Spells to manipulate bloodline sequences on his own was simply unrealistic in the short term, and he did not intend to spend too much time and energy on this, so the only option was to find another way.

"Sample 42" died because it was subjected to the Disintegrate Magic Energy Spell, which caused its bloodline to collapse; since there was no Spell to directly manipulate bloodline sequences, could he indirectly strengthen the degree of bloodline Stabilization?

As long as the target did not die directly, it would count as a major breakthrough; trying a few more times would always allow him to accumulate enough experience to find clearer patterns.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo extracted another mutant; he did not deliberately choose it, so let's just call it "Sample 43"!

This sample was also a Wood Elf mutant; the right half of its body had already turned into a kind of bloated, sticky, strange creature. Its head was still relatively normal, but its eyes were blood-red, and two rows of sharp teeth that clearly did not look like those of a normal creature had grown in its mouth.

After being released, this mutant began to crazily gnaw on its own mutated right arm, but no matter how much it ate, that mutated right arm would grow back just as much, and even more!

Xia Duo noticed that as the mutant continued to feed, its degree of mutation was also constantly deepening; Xia Duo highly suspected that if this guy ate until the end, it might be able to eat itself into a complete Demon!

Although he was curious, Xia Duo still did not intend to watch the other party continue to mutate; similar to the previous experimental process, he would first restrain it, then use the conservative Purification Plan.

After this set of procedures was completed, Xia Duo temporarily lowered the degree of confinement; the mutant, having regained its ability to move, still wanted to gnaw on its right arm, but perhaps because the bloodline was relatively more stable, the speed of subsequent mutation was greatly reduced.

"It is, after all, just a Demon Bloodline that failed to mutate!"

After sighing, the experiment continued.

Xia Duo cast the Disintegrate Magic Energy Spell on one side, while on the other, he attempted to cast the 【Extreme Longevity Technique】 on the target; he had already collected the approximate Longevity Body Data Model of the Elf when he extended the life of Crown King Akaola in the Main Plane.

If he were lucky enough, perhaps he could provide a bit of stabilizing power when "Sample 43's" bloodline collapsed; this was the only plan Xia Duo could think of.

If it did not work, then he would only be able to temporarily abandon this technical route of using Disintegrate Magic Energy to purify bloodlines.

The first to be completed was the 【Extreme Longevity Technique】, but this Spell was not an instantaneous Spell, but a Guidance Spell.

Under the effect of the Longevity Technique, Sample 43's already mutated body immediately began to tremble violently; seeing this situation, Xia Duo was not panicked, as the Longevity Technique he was currently casting was matched to a normal Elf.

And it was a Gold Elf, while the target was a mutated Wood Elf infected by Magic Energy.

From the moment the Spell took effect, a large amount of Magic Net String gathered on Sample 42, intermingling with the new system formed by the original Magic Net String penetrating the body.

Because he had the 【Longevity Body Data Model】 prepared in advance, there was no need to provide additional auxiliary Spellcasting materials; under normal circumstances, the target's body would change toward a Longevity Body.

But now, even the left half of Sample 43's body, which had not mutated, did not show any obvious signs of rejuvenation, and on the already mutated right half of the body, a large number of black blisters began to emerge on the surface of the sticky skin.

If the Longevity Technique continued, this mutated Wood Elf would not only fail to achieve longevity, but would instead die rapidly.

But Xia Duo was not in a hurry to use the Disintegrate Magic Energy Spell on it, because the effect of the Longevity Technique had not yet reached its peak; only when the effect of the Longevity Technique reached its peak, and the sample's bloodline was disintegrated in one fell swoop, would there be a chance to rapidly rebuild a brand-new bloodline framework.

Although Xia Duo did not have much confidence in this, he still patiently waited.

Time passed second by second; the right half of Sample 43's body looked as if it had been melted, shrinking by nearly half, and a large puddle of black, inexplicable mucus was left on the ground.

As for the left half of the body, it seemed somewhat rejuvenated, but because of the violent trembling, the skin was either stretched or wrinkled, and compared to before, one could not see much difference at all.

And as for the head, the blood-red eyes were still blood-red, though a small half of the sharp teeth in its mouth had fallen out; Xia Duo was not sure if it was due to the influence of the Longevity Technique, or if the sample had bitten them off itself under extreme, intense pain.

Finally, Xia Duo felt that not only had the effect of the Longevity Technique reached its limit, but Sample 43's state was also approaching its limit; perhaps in the next moment, it would die immediately before the Disintegrate Magic Energy Spell could even be used.
