Chapter 1491: Chapter 663: Mastery_2
"That’s right, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon is gone, and the connection between Song Xi and the Defiled Blood Clone Demon has also been severed by me, so the array cannot be completed anymore. However, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was a result of Song Qianlong’s research. If he can do it, I can naturally do it too! After all, I’ve analyzed the corpse of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, and it’s not entirely a process of creating something from nothing; it might just take some time..."
Fang Yu frowned.
This is indeed Ding Hui’s area of expertise.
"How long will it take?" he asked puzzledly.
"Five years? Maybe seven or eight years... I’ve studied it, and the Defiled Blood Clone Demon is not a fusion of the kind of demon physique my body has, but rather a blending at the Life Origin level, which means... multi-layered mating, supplemented by a large amount of human-induced adjustments, followed by successive birthing and selection to eliminate demon embryos that don’t meet the characteristic requirements. Then wait for the embryo to grow, and breed the second generation of demons, iterating generation after generation, ultimately becoming the Defiled Blood Clone Demon."
Ding Hui pondered: "It’s a long process, and even though I can intervene, it still requires constant deduction and adjustment over time. When I first saw the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, I couldn’t tell. I only gradually understood its extraordinary nature later. To me, it’s quite a novel field, and might even be applicable to humans... Diao Deyi, do you think ’I’ gave birth to ’myself’, are you still considered me?"
Fang Yu:...
Don’t be crazy!
Thinking about a Defiled Blood Clone Demon, how did it end up drifting to this philosophical question?
Fang Yu truly admires Ding Hui; sometimes he really can’t keep up with her thought process.
"Stop stop stop stop stop!"
Fang Yu hurriedly interrupted.
"Five years? Seven or eight years? In that time, it’s better for me to focus on cultivation! Perhaps I’ll reach that height myself."
"Well... maybe?" Ding Hui looked at Fang Yu.
In just a few short months, his strength has skyrocketed to such a degree, although it still seems far from that mysterious beam of light, at this growth rate, he should be able to unleash that potential in five or six years, without needing her methods.
Ding Hui felt a bit disappointed.
She was quite interested in research in this area.
If it were possible to merge humans with demons and give birth to their hybrid children, it would elevate this research to a whole new level.
But...
Ding Hui glances flirtatiously at Fang Yu, her eyes glint, as she leans close to Fang Yu’s chest.
She has a shortcut to take, so why bother taking the complicated route?
"What are you doing? Suddenly doing this..."
Ignoring Fang Yu’s tension, Ding Hui gently caresses her lower abdomen.
Imagining what kind of existence a child born from such a glorious being would be, it’s truly... fascinating!
Seeing Fang Yu assuming an upright posture, his body stiffening, Ding Hui couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"Look at how nervous you are. I was just thinking, since the Defiled Blood Clone Demon path is not feasible, why not take the orthodox array path of Sunset City? It should also allow you to reach the level of potential activation."
Sunset City’s array?
Fang Yu recalled.
Wasn’t Sunset City using the City Defense Formation as a foundation, covering the entire town’s area, spending countless years, utilizing the entire town’s population of millions, even tens of millions, just to complete the Enhancement Array?
Is that something they could emulate?
If this plan were laid out, it might not take less time than the five or six years for the Defiled Blood Clone Demon.
Moreover... people?
Where would they find such a large number of people?
Not to mention the need for everyone to stay fixed in one place, within the array’s range.
Upon reflection, there are so many issues.
Fang Yu suspiciously glanced at Ding Hui.
Even if nothing was said, Ding Hui understood what Fang Yu meant.
Since she can bring up this matter, she has naturally considered many issues.
Only to see Ding Hui turn around, spread her arms, and speak.
"People, we don’t lack. You see, these refugees following us are the best materials for the array."
Array materials...
You really dare to say.
Luckily Ding Hui wasn’t shouting out loud, otherwise if others heard this, who knows what they’d think of her.
Ding Hui is good in many ways, except sometimes... she truly doesn’t see people as people.
"As for the place to embed the array, we could easily find a place along the official road and settle down. We scatter some money to hire people, learning from Sunset City, carve the array into the city, and it should be completed in two or three years."
"The rest, leave it to me!"
Ding Hui turned around again, looked at Fang Yu, spreading her arms, slowly closing her eyes, as if immersed in some scenery.
"And I, will use these years to truly deepen my understanding of array creation, and by then, if you could rise to the heavens in one step! My husband, can you imagine that scene, how magnificent! How splendid! As if heaven and earth bow at your feet!"
Ding Hui’s mind was now full of how to recreate that Thunder City scene, yet she didn’t consider practical issues at all.
Fang Yu sighed.
"Ding Hui, what you’re thinking is great, but what should we be doing right now, you should also know, right?"
"Humph!"
Just after Fang Yu spoke, Ding Hui immediately looked displeased, scowling as if her dream had been interrupted, her mood changing instantly.
"Husband, you’re truly no fun at all!"
With that, she dove into the makeshift tent, ignoring everyone.
Fang Yu couldn’t help scratching his head.
He felt he didn’t say anything wrong, why did it upset Ding Hui.
Sometimes Ding Hui seems unlike a normal person, yet other times like an ordinary woman, strange...
In fact, Fang Yu also wishes to ascend quickly, but sometimes, things aren’t that simple.
"Mr. Diao..."
Song Zhenrong’s voice sounded, causing Fang Yu’s body to tense.
At this moment, he’s a bit afraid to face this guy...
"Captain Song, what’s up?"
Fang Yu tried to smile as he spoke.
"Mr. Diao can call me by my name going forward... Since we fled Thunder City, becoming deserters, this Foolish Underworld position shouldn’t be mentioned anymore..."
Despite saying this, Song Zhenrong’s expression revealed a hint of sorrow.
Throughout his life of ups and downs, it was only during his time with Foolish Underworld that he gradually gained prestige.
Now, now it’s...
However, Song Zhenrong doesn’t regret it, willing to do anything for his family.
Currently, the matter he’s bringing up has nothing to do with these.
"Mr. Diao, ever since we left Thunder City, the refugees fleeing with us, since they each have different amounts of food, some have already started suffering from famine. This entire journey we’ve hardly encountered any towns; if this goes on, I’m worried there might be incidents of stealing and robbing for food."
Fang Yu:...
What?
Fang Yu almost thought he misheard.
Since when did he actually need to start managing such matters...
It’s known when he was in Tianyuan Town, as leader of several demons, he played the role of a hands-off shopkeeper.
Fang Yu began to feel a headache.
"Can’t we collect all their food and manage it centrally?" Fang Yu asked.
Song Zhenrong shook his head.
"It’s hard to allocate fairly, some people brought several bags of fleeing supplies; handing them over, no one would be willing."
"Then let them leave, whoever doesn’t follow orders can leave the group."
Fang Yu decided decisively.
"This..."
Song Zhenrong hesitated: "That might not be appropriate either."
Fang Yu started to get impatient.
This isn’t right, that isn’t right, what’s the deal.
Fang Yu scratched his head.
"Try to stabilize them for now, I’m a bit tired; after dawn, I’ll think it over more carefully."
He planned to consult Ding Hui for her thoughts, but considering Ding Hui’s personality, her methods might be even more extreme than his plan to collect food supplies...
"Understood."
Song Zhenrong stepped back.
Only at this point did Fang Yu finally have a moment’s free time.
Since awakening, things have been nonstop, and he’s been constantly sorting out situations; now he finally has time to carefully check his own condition.
First, he opened the attribute panel.
