Meanwhile.
After Liu Xianfeng returned to his post and submitted the cultivation technique given by Ao Yuan, the Beijing conference room was convened urgently again.
Elder Long swept his gaze across the entire venue, finally settling on a dean from biological research and said, "Have you found out the origin of these strange people from the Beautiful Country?"
"We've found out," the dean nodded gravely. "According to research, animal genes undergo certain changes after spiritual energy recovery."
"The Beautiful Country is using these genes combined with humans to create gene warriors."
"If the fusion is successful, they will gain the special traits of animals as their own abilities, and their own strength will also increase exponentially!"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room fell silent.
They had also watched Dai Xiaomei's livestream and knew how powerful these gene warriors were.
Even bullets had posed no threat to them, which was already a significant concern.
In the context of spiritual energy recovery, it could be said that the Beautiful Country had already far outpaced other nations.
Seeing everyone fall silent, the dean paused and added, "However... according to my research, this research by the Beautiful Country is not yet perfectly fused."
"When these gene warriors use the abilities of fused animals, they will suffer a certain backlash."
"And each backlash consumes their own life!"
"Furthermore, fusing animal and human genes is not a simple matter."
"There is a very high probability of only a one percent success rate!"
Everyone was startled by this.
Then they breathed a sigh of relief. Elder Long asked, "Is that accurate?"
"More or less."
"Hoo..."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This news could be considered good news amidst bad news.
At least the Beautiful Country could not turn people into powerful gene warriors in a very short period.
"Oh, right."
At this moment, Elder Long seemed to recall something and turned to Minister Bai beside him. "That... have you cultivated the technique Ao Yuan gave us?"
"Not yet," Minister Bai replied. He took out a slightly thin notebook from his pocket and said, "This is the technique we've copied."
"Please take a look."
Elder Long took the notebook and casually flipped through a few pages.
Then he closed the notebook and said, "Since Ao Yuan said it was for our Great Xia, then let's promote it."
"Everyone can try to cultivate it!"
"Ah!"
Everyone present paused at Elder Long's words.
Promote it? Everyone cultivate?
"Elder Long, shouldn't we wait a while longer?"
"Let's first understand if there are any problems with the cultivation technique Ao Yuan gave us."
One person suggested.
"No!"
Minister Bai stood up and directly refused. As the newly appointed leader of the Ten Thousand Alliances, he had been observing the changes in many countries and the world recently.
"Why not!" This person showed no respect to Minister Bai and questioned him.
In his opinion, his suggestion was the most prudent.
After all, although Ao Yuan was a dragon.
He was the totem of Great Xia, but as an old saying goes!
One must guard against others!
This saying was also applicable to Ao Yuan!
"You'll understand if you look at this document."
Minister Bai did not speak but took out several reports from his pocket and distributed them to everyone in the conference room.
In an instant, everyone in the conference room's expressions became more solemn.
Because!
The reports Minister Bai gave were about animal evolution.
In the past few days, the size of ferocious beasts in zoos and in the wild within Great Xia had been growing.
And many animals could already clearly show that they had begun to develop sentience.
They often gathered in groups of three to five, roaring at each other.
If this were the only thing, it wouldn't be enough to make people feel disgusted, but what was disgusting was that these ferocious beasts normally had no interaction.
For example, snakes and eagles... these were clearly predator-prey relationships!
"However... fortunately!"
At this moment, Minister Bai spoke again. "Although these ferocious beasts are growing in size, not many of them have seen exponential growth, perhaps only a dozen or so, distributed across Great Xia."
"Only the giant python in Tianchi Lake has grown the most rapidly."
"According to my speculation, these animals have a certain probability of mutation under the spiritual energy recovery."
"That is, the legendary ancestral bloodline return!"
"This is why they can grow so rapidly."
"But no matter what, our Great Xia cannot sit back and wait."
"Indeed!" Elder Long took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"From the current perspective, the Guardian Divine Beast Ao Yuan is friendly towards our Great Xia."
"The cultivation method he provided, in my opinion, can be experimentally cultivated."
He paused and continued, "Another point is that we are different from the Beautiful Country. The Beautiful Country slaughters animals, and when the animals' intelligence is fully developed in the future, they will definitely face resistance from the animals."
"And in my opinion, animals can't be killed endlessly!"
"If our Great Xia cannot suppress them, we will not be able to suppress them in the future."
"Therefore, I think we can establish friendly relations with powerful animals, just like with friendly countries, and support each other in the future!"
"Agreed!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then all agreed.
Elder Long's words were indeed accurate.
Animals!
They could not be killed endlessly. Even if one could be killed, could the whole family be killed?
Even if the whole family could be killed, could an entire species be annihilated?
And if they could not be annihilated, and if a powerful demon were to grow within that species in the future.
This could inflict a fatal blow to Great Xia!
After all, a country was different from a solitary demon!
"Alright, Ao Yuan is currently at Mount Taibai, right?"
Elder Long then turned to Minister Bai and said, "You will go and negotiate with Ao Yuan later."
"When you return, you will all experimentally cultivate the technique Ao Yuan gave."
"If you feel there are no problems, then we will promote it nationwide!"
"Yes!"
With Elder Long's words, the meeting concluded.
However, everyone's mood was very heavy.
Under the spiritual energy recovery.
Even though Great Xia was a major human power, if this continued, no one knew what the future would hold.
After all, the world would no longer be ruled by humans.
Demons... would also rise.
This was something they could not and could not stop.
After all, besides animals becoming demons, plants could also become demons.
They couldn't possibly eliminate them all now and leave only humans, right?
This was simply impossible!
