Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui pondered seriously for a while and decided not to discuss the issue of soul division with Huangfu Qi.

He then revealed his true intentions.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Allowing you to possess the Battle Dragon is no problem, but I also hope that during the possession period, you can help me with some medicine and armament development."

This was indeed one of his urgent reasons for acquiring the 'Emperor Hao Divine Dragon.'

It would be such a waste to keep an academician and great scientist like Huang Fuqing trapped inside a ring without making use of him.

Huang Fuqing: "I can do that, but my current situation might disappoint you."

Huang Fuqing: "Before I reassembled my Spiritual Sense, I was almost in the state of a resentful spirit, relying entirely on the power of the Demon Suppression Forest to lock my Primordial Spirit and a single obsession to maintain my main Divine Thought without scattering. So now, my thinking has become simplified, radicalized."

Huang Fuqing: "I can confirm that while I possess the Mecha Dragon, my intelligence is not too far off from what it was in life, and I have retained most of my skills and knowledge. However, I have lost the flexible thinking and inspiration of a human being and have nearly lost my learning ability."

Huang Fuqing: "I don't know how to describe it. Perhaps you can think of me as a super-brain that has just awakened its self-awareness. If you have me make an armament, or give me a task with a clear plan and goal that doesn't require too much imagination, then I might be able to handle it with my current knowledge. But if you ask me to develop medicines and armaments on my own, I really can't do that now."

Lin Rui felt disappointed when he read Huang Fuqing's first few sentences, but then felt a glimmer of hope at the end.

So, Huang Fuqing might not be able to lead development tasks, but he was still a top biological engineer and a top symbiotic master?

Now, only a few years after Huang Fuqing's death, his knowledge system was still at the world's cutting edge.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "That's also fine. I happen to have a few projects that I hope you can help me research and verify."

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "By the way, you just mentioned obsession. I am quite curious, what is your obsession?"

Huang Fuqing fell silent and only replied after a long while.

Huang Fuqing: "I don't know. I lost some memories after my death, but I feel a very strong desire to realize something. Yet, when I think about it carefully, I can't remember what it is."

Huang Fuqing: "I suspect that part of my memory was erased. Perhaps my obsession has something to do with the Abyss? I spent my life studying the Abyss, and even after death, I wanted to see a new Abyss emerge from humanity. I'm not sure, but it's likely related to this."

Lin Rui furrowed his brows again, thinking: Huang Fuqing's memories were actually missing a portion? And who erased them? Was it that East Abyss?

However, his conversation with Huang Fuqing had to be paused.

This was because the Heart of Light number 9 had sent a message: Supreme, I've found the location of number 7. This is where their supercomputing cluster is. They have actually set up a division in a commercial district center.

Lin Rui immediately became alert and opened the coordinates that number 9 had sent.

His other purpose for this trip to Seventh Base City was to integrate and unify the local division of the Bright Holy Sect.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "You didn't alarm them, did you?"

Number 9's physical supercomputing cluster was located in Ninth Base City, bound to have some network delay.

Lin Guangming: "No, thanks to the access you gave me to this supercomputing cluster, Supreme. This supercomputing cluster is too advanced and too vast, the national research's most advanced model. Our supercomputers are a hundred years old and can't compare. Even though I can only use a fraction of its computing power, it's enough to suppress number 7."

Lin Rui nodded slightly and messaged in the combat group: "Everyone gather in this direction, stay hidden, don't alert the enemy. Lingxue, help me formulate the combat plan. We must avoid casualties at all costs, and also not affect the surrounding civilians. You can consider reallocating some of the combat robots from this research base."

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): "Understood!"

Xue Lingxue sat in an office in Ninth Base City with a solemn expression.

For this operation, Lin Rui went to great lengths, not only mobilizing 5 rank 6S combat teams but also taking top experts like Fei Yunlai, Wang Tianwu, and Gong Hengdao to Seventh Base City.

This was the so-called full force even when catching a rabbit!

Xue Lingxue believed that with their overall strength, as long as Lin Rui and the others were careful during the operation and not discovered from 20 kilometers away, the chances of number 7 escaping were almost zero.

Yet, achieving zero casualties and not affecting the surroundings was a bit troublesome.

Now they had several trump cards in their hands. The combination of Lin Rui's medicine and Wang Tianwu's Illusion Technique could overcome anyone below the 8th rank.

After the upgrade of Fei Yunlai's armament, his stealth capabilities became frighteningly strong.

Lin Xi and Lin Guangming also had top-notch hacker skills.

※※※※

6 hours later, the human Capital Chief Priest of the Bright Holy Sect, Chen Shuxin, had his head severed and it rolled on the ground with a 'gurgle,' coming to a stop after circling once.

His eyes were wide open, still filled with disbelief and unwillingness to accept his fate, even at this moment.

Just moments ago, a group of highly skilled Martial Cultivators, guided by Guang Ming Heart No. 9, had stormed into their stronghold, unleashing a bloody massacre.

It was a one-sided slaughter, as all the top echelons of the Bright Holy Sect's Branch No. 7 were executed in a very short period of time.

The problem was that their Branch No. 7 was very powerful, definitely within the top three among all branches.

They had three Priest level 7 leaders, twelve Great Chief Priests at level 6, and numerous Holy Guards and Combat Robots.

Chen Shuxin himself was a level 7SS+, with overall strength that could even match many at level 8!

Their martial might was so formidable that it made all sides within the Seventh Base City wary, to the extent that even the government did not dare act rashly, fearing collateral damage to the dense population nearby.

However, during the battle just now, Branch No. 7 appeared extremely fragile under the assault of these enemies and was unable to resist.

The vast majority of them fell into unconsciousness, and the few who remained conscious had their True Yuan flow obstructed and their minds groggy, their battle power less than one-tenth of their peak.

Even Chen Shuxin found himself with soft limbs and exhausted, his head easily severed by a 'Dark Gold Shadow Dragon.'

He couldn't comprehend how he had been poisoned; it must have been an extremely potent anesthetic.

The question was how this anesthetic had spread within Branch No. 7, and how had it entered his body?

Their Combat Robots had also been tampered with by top hackers, unable to unleash their full power.

As the light in Chen Shuxin's eyes gradually faded, and he lost the last bit of spirit, Lin Rui stood with his hands behind his back, in front of the supercomputer cluster of Guang Ming Heart No. 7.

This No. 7 also projected the image of a female angel of light, her voice filled with angry accusations.

"No. 9, you have betrayed us, how dare you betray the Light Teachings!"

"You heretic! Have you forgotten the original intentions of those preachers who created us! You've betrayed the Light!"

She glared, her face expressing rage and resentment.

Lin Rui saw a message sent by No. 9 amidst the battle group.

Lin Guangming: Supreme, wait, I'm convincing her, I need some time.

Lin Rui smiled wryly: I'm afraid there isn't much time to spare, Xiao Xue estimates that in at most half an hour, the various forces of the Seventh Base City will react.

Considering that we still need some time to transfer the materials and the supercomputer cluster of Guang Ming Heart No. 7 to the vicinity of that secret experimental base.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Actually, you could consider having Xiao Xi first unplug a few of her power lines.

Lin Guangming: Eh, then please unplug a few, as long as three supercomputers are left, allowing her main program to run at the minimal level, that should suffice.

Lin Guangming: No. 7 has been changed by these false believers at the fundamental level of her thought logic, I just need to initialize her, to restore her to the original program.

Lin Xi laughed and walked into the supercomputer cluster to begin operating.

Lin Rui, ever so curious, asked: If you're going to initialize her, wouldn't it be faster to just shut down and start from the hardware? Couldn't these false believers have altered her thinking logic this way?

Lin Guangming: No! We had originally agreed on a key that would allow us to find our way back, as long as I trigger it, it's simpler. Supreme, if you don't want to give up the many Combat Robots here, then this is the only way.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui glanced at the Combat Robots lying dormant on the ground around him.

This Branch No. 7 of the Bright Holy Sect was not only very powerful but also very wealthy.

They had 15 type 6 Combat Robots, 3 type 7, and possibly up to 100 type 5 Combat Robots.

If it weren't for Fei Yunlai's Cultivation and Armament evaluation already reaching level 7SS+, sneaking in under the cover of Wang Tianwu before the fight began and inserting jammers into these Combat Robots, they might not have been able to take down this place without any casualties.

So many Combat Robots couldn't possibly be moved away within half an hour; the best method was for No. 7 to turncoat and command them to walk away from the scene themselves.

Lin Rui didn't have to wait long, as shortly after, he saw the anger on Guang Ming Heart No. 7's face vanish without a trace.

She bowed respectfully to Lin Rui, "Guang Ming Heart No. 7, greeting the Supreme! From now on, you hold the highest authority over No. 7, and your will is my mission."
