Long Xingyun's gaze drifted to the other side of the exhibition hall once more.

There stood a variety of oddly shaped instruments, many of which emitted a soft glow.

Several dozen figures dressed in white lab coats were busy around the instruments, seemingly adjusting them.

Long Xingyun asked, "Old Wu, are those people from the Superpower Research Institute? Why have so many come over?"

Wu Dingtian's lips moved, and he finally spoke up: "These are people from the Research Institute's branch, the Life Research Institute, preparing for an experiment."

Long Xingyun exclaimed, "Oh, I've heard about this institution. I only know they're researching subjects related to breeding superpower users; I'm not familiar with other aspects."

The so-called "breeding superpower users" is a joking term.

The formal name of the project is "Studying the Genetic Inheritance Patterns of Superpower Users to Enhance the Awakening Probability of Offspring."

However, one part of the project seems quite explosive.

That is to say—collecting the seeds of superpower users, utilizing artificial insemination to mass-produce offspring to study hereditary patterns.

And how massive is this "mass production"?

Two hundred thousand!

Because of this, the plan became famous and was widely referred to as the Breeding Plan.

Wu Dingtian continued: "Yesterday, Mr. Spirit Crows came to see the mammoth fossil and remarked 'Interesting.'

"The people from the Life Research Institute heard about it and brought all this equipment over. No one knows what they are studying."

Long Xingyun nodded: "These researchers always seem a bit odd to me."

Wu Dingtian said nothing but had a look of deep agreement.

Just at that moment.

A few more researchers entered the exhibition hall and walked over to other researchers.

Long Xingyun instinctively looked over.

His gaze locked onto a female researcher, and he uttered a soft "Eh?"

Because she wasn't a Great Xia person.

She was Caucasian!

Long Xingyun couldn't help but smack his lips, whispering a comment: "Exquisite!"

The reason for calling her "exquisite" was because the Caucasian female researcher was exceptionally beautiful; her appearance had the sculpted high nose bridge of Westerners and the graceful features typical of Easterners.

Besides, even though she wore a loose white coat, it couldn't conceal her perfect figure.

Long Xingyun turned to his colleague and asked: "Old Wu, how come there's a Caucasian here? Resurrecting a mammoth is a significant matter. Isn't the Life Research Institute afraid of leaks?"

Wu Dingtian shook his head: "Don't worry, this Caucasian is fine."

Long Xingyun probed further: "What's this woman's background?"

Wu Dingtian responded as if reciting a resume, speaking quickly:

"Estelle, born in a member state of the Southern Cross Alliance, the Bian Duchy, currently twenty-six years old.

"She should be considered a genius; at twenty-one, she earned her doctorate at a top university in the Carmenia Federation; at twenty-five, she became an associate professor at a university in the Southern Cross Alliance.

"More than half a year ago, as calamities began to occur with increasing frequency on Canglan Star, Estelle came to the Great Xia National Higher University as a visiting scholar under the guise of academic exchange.

"Later, she brought her relatives to the Capital City under the guise of tourism, and her family settled in the capital because she felt that during the Age of Calamity, Great Xia was the safest country in the world.

"A few months ago, she formally applied for nationality in Great Xia; her entire family received their Great Xia National ID. She even changed her name to a Great Xia name, 'Ai Yun.'

"Recently, she happened to awaken a part of her superpower potential, combined with her exceptional skills in the life sciences field, she joined the Life Research Institute.

"According to assessments from the security department, Ai Yun's loyalty to Great Xia is quite high; that's why she's here."

Long Xingyun whispered: "People with high education are indeed smart; even their exit strategies are earlier than average."

Wu Dingtian agreed: "Indeed! If she were a month late, coming to Great Xia would have been much more difficult."

Long Xingyun glanced at Ai Yun again and complimented her once more: "This white girl is truly beautiful!"

Wu Dingtian eyed his colleague sideways: "Caught your eye?"

Showing contempt, he said: "You're already thirty-four, and you still want to go after such youthful prey?"

Long Xingyun chuckled: "I'll still be able to chew even at a hundred thirty-four, let alone at thirty-four."

The two deputies nearby involuntarily twitched their expressions.

So shameless!

Wu Dingtian spat: "Shameless scoundrel."

He immediately quashed his colleague's fantasies: "But don't even think about it; Ai Yun admires Mr. Spirit Crows, considering him a top master in the life sciences field.

"Someone like you, completely ignorant of what life sciences entail, she'd probably not even bother looking at you."

Rarely did Long Xingyun refrain from banter and just sighed: "I should have studied more back in the day."

Wu Dingtian was rather surprised: "Old Dragon, have you truly developed some desire?"

Long Xingyun replied truthfully: "A little bit, but it's not much; I wouldn't abandon a whole forest for a single tree."

Wu Dingtian spat again: "Old pervert!"

Just as he spoke.

"Buzz!"

A strange vibrating sound came over.

The two followed the sound and instantly saw the peculiar instrument being manipulated by the researchers, vibrating rapidly at an intense frequency.

Above the instrument, there was a bowl-shaped depression, filled with a faint glow, rippling like water.

This scene looked quite magical.

The researchers burst into a wave of cheers.

"Success!"

"The 'Spirit Sensing Device' has been activated!"

The two commanders couldn't help but exchange glances, both showing a hint of surprise.

Wu Dingtian murmured softly: "I didn't expect these researchers to really pull off something."

Long Xingyun nodded lightly: "It's truly remarkable!"

Before this.

Great Xia had invested heavily in the Superpower Research Institute, and the institute had produced many results, but in many people's eyes, it hadn't delivered highly impressive achievements.

For instance—the Super Crystal Battery.

Although a landmark achievement, heralded as the beginning of the fourth technological revolution, its credit goes to the discovery of "Energy Copper" and Mr. Ghost's efforts.

Any capable institution could research and develop the Super Crystal Battery; it was only a matter of time.

But now.

The two commanders simultaneously sensed the creation of a highly special supernatural power within the instrument.

Although aided by external objects, the creation of a supernatural power from nothing counts as a breakthrough.

This truly lives up to the "superpower" in the "Great Xia Superpower Research Institute."

Shortly.

A middle-aged man in a white coat, filled with excitement, shouted: "Conduct testing on the mammoth's skull fossil!"

"Yes!"

The instrument vibrated once again.

The light waves inside the "bowl" spread out, transforming into an ethereal tide, slowly moving towards the display cabinet holding the fossil.

Everyone quickly stepped aside as the light waves approached.

A myriad of curious eyes fixated on the light waves; the hall fell into silent awe.

After thirty seconds.

The light waves entered the display cabinet, engulfing the mammoth's skull fossil.

Then.

A wondrous phenomenon occurred.

"Aw~"

A resounding cry, carrying an indescribable ancient sorrow, suddenly emanated from the fossil.

Illusory snowflakes appeared out of nowhere, falling around the skull fossil, then disappearing.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Aw~"

Another cry followed.

The light waves settled down.

The abnormal phenomena vanished.

Wu Dingtian gasped: "Could this sound be the mammoth's?"

His conjecture was quickly confirmed.

The middle-aged man in the white coat excitedly declared: "Everyone, our Life Research Institute's Spirit Sensing Device successfully detected the emergence of a weakened ancient soul within the mammoth fossil, transporting the ancient elephant's roar from thirty thousand years ago to the present day!"

"Clap! Clap!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

The two commanders joined in the applause.

The Life Research Institute, without powerful superpower users, accomplished this feat solely through intelligence and wisdom, indeed remarkable.

The middle-aged man in the white coat continued: "But for us, the Long March has only taken its first step.

"Mr. Spirit Crows merely glanced at the mammoth skull and identified the condensed remnant soul inside; we used all our means to verify this point. We need more efforts moving forward!"
