179: Genetic technology?
“Is that so?”
“That truly is a pity.”
Zhang Ruoli felt a deep sense of regret after hearing this. If Li Zun and the others could accept mechanical modifications, she was absolutely confident she could transform all of them into bodies as powerful as her own!
At that point, wouldn't it be incredibly simple to jointly push back against the damned Demon Clan!
It was a shame; they actually chose not to take such a shortcut, which was somewhat regrettable.
However, Zhang Ruoli also knew she couldn't force them into mechanical modifications. If the opportunity arose, Zhang Ruoli would continue to persuade them.
Besides that, Zhang Ruoli would not force others to undergo Physical Body modifications, thanks to a rule of their Mechanical Punk Clan.
They cannot force other beings to undergo mechanical modification.
Otherwise, it would violate the rules of their Mechanical Punk Clan.
“Alright, since discussions are concluded, then I trouble everyone to reside on my Three-Eyed Holy Star for the time being.”
After all, if they lived among the God Race, they could more or less arrive at the first possible moment.
The strong individuals all nodded in agreement. Anyway, everything from food to drink and daily necessities would be paid for by Yang Jian, that old rascal. For them, they just needed to enjoy themselves.
It would be fine if the Demon Clan didn't make a move; if they didn't, they could enjoy their freedom.
However, if those guys from the Demon Clan did make a move, they shouldn't blame them for being ruthless!
If their Luck was good, they might even be able to wipe them out and end the Universe's turmoil ahead of schedule!
Li Yao's gaze fell on Zhang Ruoli. In his eyes, Zhang Ruoli still showed the blessing of Luck.
Besides the golden Luck blessing, there was also a faint black Luck entwined around her.
Clearly, this person would experience a bit of bad Luck in the near future.
However, seeing this person's misfortune also made Li Yao very happy.
Who told this person to immediately ask him if he wanted to undergo Physical Body modification or something?
Modifying one's Physical Body, wouldn't that mean becoming as emotionless as this person?
Just then, Li Yao seemed to think of something, and his gaze landed on Zhang Ruoli.
“By the way, Uncle Zhang, I wonder if you could help me forge a weapon?”
“The more powerful the weapon, the better!”
Zhang Ruoli was stunned after hearing this, clearly not expecting Li Yao to make such a request.
However, after data processing, she quickly recovered.
“Are you looking to forge a weapon for your Beast Master?”
“If so, I can certainly help you.”
“By the way, do you need to modify your Beast Master?”
“Cough, cough, no, no, my Beast Master is already strong enough. I just want to add a weapon for him.”
“Alright.” Li Yao could hear a hint of disappointment in Zhang Ruoli's tone.
Clearly, Li Yao's refusal to agree to the Beast Master's modification made her quite disappointed.
However, Zhang Ruoli did not refuse Li Yao's request. Forging weapons was incredibly simple for a Mechanical Punk fanatic.
Soon, everyone dispersed. Li Zun, however, stayed with Li Yao and Zhang Ruoli.
As for Saint Heaven, she found Yang Jian alone, seemingly for matters between their two races.
Side Hall.
This was where they were assigned to rest.
For the time being, Li Yao and the others would be residing here.
“Is this your Beast Master?”
“I didn't expect you to also possess a Mythic-grade Beast Master. It seems our lineup will see the emergence of a powerful Beast Master in the future.”
Mythic-grade meant the potential to become a Titled Emperor Venerable in the future.
Coupled with Li Yao inheriting Li Zun's talent, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Yao could become the new Titled Emperor Venerable in at most a dozen years.
This would undoubtedly be of immense help to their current situation.
“Mm, the Physical Body is perfect, powerful.”
“It can perfectly accommodate large-scale weapons, but it would be even better if it could be modified into a mechanical Beast Master.”
Yuan Hong was startled when he heard Zhang Ruoli's words.
【I don't want to be modified!】
【I think I'm perfectly fine in this state.】
Yuan Hong looked at Li Yao with a hint of pleading, clearly worried that Li Yao might suddenly decide to let Zhang Ruoli perform the modification.
Once mechanical modification was carried out, it would more or less cause irreversible damage to one's Physical Body.
Although mechanical modification could make one incredibly powerful in a short time, there was a corresponding price to pay.
The Physical Body's deficiencies would prevent the Soul from being fully accommodated, thus making further advancement impossible.
However, this 'further advancement' was only limited by the current technologicallimit (limit).
Zhang Ruoli represented the current technological limit of this Universe.
As long as Zhang Ruoli's strength continued to increase, this limit would also continue to rise.
It was just unknown what level Zhang Ruoli's research in technology had reached.
Could she destroy a galaxy with a single strike, or an extragalactic system?
But no matter which it was, Li Yao didn't want to touch it.
The power of technology was strong, that was true, but the Physical Body was not weak; it was only weak if one didn't work hard enough.
Like Li Zun and the others, they could still traverse the Void Realm with their powerful Physical Bodies.
There was no need for technological modification at all.
Soon, Zhang Ruoli arranged a set of technological weapons for Yuan Hong.
However, it would take time to manufacture them, as they were custom-designed. This set of technological weapons could also be considered a welcoming gift for Li Yao.
After all, as Li Yao's elder, it would be somewhat inappropriate not to have a welcoming gift.
“Are you really not undergoing technological modification?”
“I'm truly confident I can make your Physical Bodies even stronger while preserving your talents.”
“Cough, cough, no, we really don't need it. If you truly want to help us become stronger, perhaps you could research genetic technology.”
Zhang Ruoli pondered for a moment and felt that what Li Yao said was indeed very reasonable.
“What you said is indeed reasonable. For our Machina-Punk Clan, genetic technology might seem useless, but if thoroughly researched, genetic technology can also be transformed into a weapon, delivering destructive genetic annihilation strikes against biological entities!”
Having understood this point, Zhang Ruoli immediately began to arrange for all members of the Mechanical Punk Clan to research genetic technology.
Seeing this, Li Yao only felt as if he had opened a Pandora's Box.
For a race with exploding technological capabilities, if they were to engage in genetic technology, would it eventually be used against them?
Although both belonged to the same Alliance, no one knew what might happen in the future.
