Zhao Guang fully experienced what it means to be overwhelmed this time; his current situation is exactly like this.
He initially didn't want to use his clones, but now it seems unavoidable. Not only is it becoming busier on Earth, but the same applies to his territory here. If things continue like this, he won't be able to do anything else.
If Borick Continent calls for combat power in the future, he will also need to dispatch forces to participate in the battle.
This time, it's not about wanting to protect the army by keeping them from going over there, but rather because it has already become a meat grinder.
If his troops go over there, they're not going for training but marching to their deaths. Sending a small number might work, but sending a large number will result in few returning. Zhao Guang doesn't distrust his soldiers; he distrusts the frontline commanders.
This is still the early stage of the enemy's invasion, which means the opponent's attack is at its strongest.
At this time, anyone who rushes in would be heading for a dead end.
To handle various issues, Zhao Guang focused his research on clones.
Starting with matters on Earth, which requires a number of clones but not too advanced ones. Thus, Zhao Guang's research progressed the fastest in this area, accumulating significant experience for high-level clones.
In less than two days, a new clone technique was developed.
This isn't a magic skill but a combat skill, Light Shadow Clone.
It is constructed using his Light Attribute Fighting Spirit, or True Qi for that matter. However, this isn't something ordinary people can create. This skill, having been simplified, is at least an advanced battle skill.
In other words, people over on Earth need to reach at least the Divinity level to create a clone.
Of course, this clone has very weak combat power; it wasn't originally meant for fighting.
Zhao Guang's own Light Shadow Clone was upgraded to Legendary Level, but each one only barely has combat power at an advanced level. However, compared to those who just reached the Divinity level, it's much stronger.
The most important task for these clones is to handle various research issues on Earth.
Although the research ability of the clones is far inferior to his main body, given that the basic framework is already complete over there, each clone doesn't fall too short compared to himself.
He produced one hundred clones at once, and they were far more effective than if he were there himself.
He only needs to go over there from time to time to address some accumulated issues.
After completing his research, Zhao Guang returned home immediately, and in front of everyone, he directly created one hundred clones. These clones are not the same as magic clones; they don't look entirely like him.
Although they look the same, these clones are shrouded in a faint layer of glimmer.
Moreover, there is no shadow beneath their feet, as if the shadow sticks to their body. Upon closer look, there's a sense of obscurity.
This is the origin of the Light Shadow Clone, a special battle skill created by leveraging light and shadow phenomena and merging them successfully. The lengthy effort was because Zhao Guang wanted to refine this clone technique to suit others.
"What is this, a cloning skill! Do these clones have high-level thinking?"
Ye Zhi widened her eyes, initially feeling sympathetic about Zhao Guang being constantly busy; she wasn't even tired from her own busyness. Who could have thought the work actually forced Zhao Guang into using a clone technique?
"Of course they do. Apart from some aspects being inferior to my own main body, there's not much difference in other aspects."
Zhao Guang was very proud, as these clones are not known for their combat power. Clones of this strength provide no help in battles for him; against strong opponents of the same level, they couldn't even provide distraction.
However, there's one thing to note: these clones have very sharp minds.
They're certainly not as smart as Wisdom Tower, but their independent thinking abilities are not weak, and crucially, they are not affected by emotions.
"In that case, wouldn't your research work be much easier?"
"It won't be easy. The more clones I make, the greater the impact on my own thinking, so I can't go overboard. Besides, there are some things I need to research myself."
In fact, Zhao Guang isn't worried about the impact on his thinking because he has Wisdom Tower as a buffer.
These words were for others to hear, to make them mindful.
"That's truly enviable; we are running out of hands."
Zhao Guang laughed: "How could it be? I've simplified this skill, so you can learn it too. Here, this is the cultivation technique, though it's quite complex. With my guidance, you should be able to learn it in no time... I think."
Zhao Guang himself wasn't sure as this technique is completely different from ordinary cultivation techniques.
Whether they can learn it depends on talent; moreover, quite a bit of other knowledge is needed.
"By the way, there are two versions of this clone: one has many clones with decent intelligence, used for auxiliary work. The other has fewer clones, at most one or two, but with strong combat power."
"With your power, the combat-type clone's strength should approach the Divinity level, making it easier to accomplish certain tasks." The refinement of clones was still for the sake of his family.
If they could be enhanced a bit more, the clones could reach the Divinity level.
At that time, Ye Zhi and the others wouldn't be so busy anymore.
"Great, if everyone could learn this, it would reduce many accidents."
"It's impossible for everyone to learn it. Since it's of Light Attribute, those whose True Qi attribute isn't Light Attribute can hardly learn it unless they're talented enough to modify it. Besides, I never intended to make it public."
His family's Special Attribute Cultivation Technique certainly requires some special applications.
Ye Zhi rolled her eyes; she believed Zhao Guang had a way, but he hadn't mentioned it.
This guy had the thoughtfulness to relieve his burden with this method.
But next, the two of them had some headaches, since learning the clone technique was extremely difficult. It involved not just the simple flow of True Qi but many strange elements.
Helpless, Ye Zhi brought all of Zhao Guang's family members over, sharing the burden together.
Meanwhile, the researchers who saw the multitude of clones appeared with their eyes glowing red.
Initially, they were not much interested in cultivation because their energy was all on research. Nobody told them that cultivation could indeed aid research, and this truly is "skill in many fields".
Stimulated by Zhao Guang, many people who were originally lax in their cultivation started to become more proactive, though no one knew whether this change was good or bad.
