My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1117 The Genome Project

Three days later, the female official Qingluan returned as scheduled and, following the guidance of the other female priestesses in the palace, arrived at the "Sculpting Workshop" where Nuwa was located.

For the past three days, Nuwa hasn't left the library, just like a student cramming for a major exam.

Of course, in terms of cultivation level, Goddess Nuwa is a level higher than Buddha, and she doesn't need to rely on Buddha for anything.

To be precise, they were sucking up to Wen Rui, even though they had previously despised and loathed him, believing that the new knowledge series of the Jie Sect compiled by Wen Rui under the guise of the words of the Tongtian Sect Master was nothing but pseudo-metaphysics, or even anything at all metaphysical, and was all Wen Rui's fabrications and far-fetched interpretations.

However, upon hearing that Wen Rui's hybridization experiment had been successful and had been widely promoted, the facts spoke louder than words. Nuwa had no choice but to spend time and effort carefully studying the new knowledge books of the Jie Sect that she had previously sent her female officials to the mortal world to collect.

The female official Qingluan entered the "Sculpting Workshop," bowed, and reported: "Your Majesty, my great-great-granddaughter has already betrayed the Phoenix Clan and is only loyal to the Jie Sect! That wretched girl heard that you wanted to explore the method of life shaping and wanted to ask for a complete set of information on mixed races. She pretended to be polite, but secretly sent a message to that little beast Wen Rui."

"what!"

Nuwa was reading the "New Knowledge Series of the Jie Sect" and was feeling irritable. Upon hearing the report, veins immediately popped out on her forehead.

It must be said that the Dragon and Phoenix clans were once powerful. During the ancient Dragon Calamity, these two clans were the overlords of the mortal world. However, with the changing times, they have long since fallen into decline, and countless dragon sons and phoenix grandsons are struggling to survive.

The Dragon Clan's greatest backer is the Yellow Dragon True Man Ancestor, who has become a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

The Phoenix Clan, under the protection of the Goddess Nuwa, has two ancestral phoenixes, the Azure Phoenix and the Red Phoenix, who usually serve as Nuwa's mounts, pulling her chariot.

Of course, even if the two races establish a relationship with a sage, they cannot escape the fate of being conscripted by the Heavenly Court to ascend to the Heavenly Court to serve.

The term "serving the emperor" here refers to two things: if you're lucky, you'll be assigned to pull a cart; if you're unlucky, you'll be slaughtered by the imperial chefs and become one of the ingredients for the dish "Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow."

After the Four Seas Dragon Kings led the sea race to join the Demon Alliance, the new generation of dragons gradually began to awaken. Coincidentally, dragons are inherently lustful, so they calmly joined the hybridization plan. Under the leadership of the White Dragon, they mass-produced dragon offspring, creating a dazzling array of hybrids and completely cutting off the source of dragon liver ingredients for the gods of Heaven.

Led by Luan Qingyu, the Phoenix Clan simply relied on the Demon Alliance to violently defy the imperial decree, driving away the angels who came to conscript them, thus directly breaking ties with the Heavenly Court.

The two races made drastically different choices. The Dragon Clan was more tactful and adopted a roundabout way to save its own race. This was because the Four Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan were used to being weak-willed and couldn't stand up for long, and they really didn't dare to confront the Heavenly Court head-on.

Even under Nuwa's protection, the Phoenix Clan's descendants could not escape the tragic fate of ending up on the Heavenly Court's dinner table. But by joining the Jie Sect, they were suddenly treated with unprecedented respect and equality.

Wen Rui, the actual leader of the Demon Alliance, is from the Wen clan, which worships the Black Bird. He is related to the Phoenix Clan, and they are cousins, all of them.

Even a silly goose knows how to choose, let alone a mythical bird like a phoenix.

Now, apart from the two ancestors beside Nuwa, not a single phoenix in the vast Phoenix Clan remains loyal to Nuwa and the Heavenly Court. They have all officially joined the Demon Alliance and elected representatives to the Demon Alliance's Supreme Committee.

Unlike the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan did not incorporate the Phoenix bloodline into their hybridization plan to create a large number of Phoenix offspring. This is because the Phoenix's reproduction method is very special; it does not rely on genetic material but rather on spiritual connection.

Just as the Shang Dynasty royal family obtained the phoenix bloodline from the legend of Jian Di sensing the black bird and giving birth to a bond, they are not like the dragon clan, who are shameless and can exchange genetic material with any species. "Damn it, that Luan Qingyu, as a member of the phoenix clan, has been protected by me for tens of thousands of years, yet she has forgotten her roots!"

Nuwa was already annoyed. The more she read Wen Rui's "Biological Genetics" series, the more she thought, "How amazing! This theory is well-founded and logically sound. It is truly a superior theory!" To put it bluntly, "Damn, it is really awesome!" She was filled with jealousy and frustration, and had nowhere to vent her anger.

"I will go there myself, first to confront that wretched girl, then to find that little beast Wen Rui and demand it from him personally, to see if he dares not to give it to me!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger..."

The female official Qingluan quickly dissuaded him, saying, "That little beast is quite sensible. After his avatar projection appeared, he didn't try to refuse or decline. He even put the complete set of data on the 'Human Instrumentality Project' into this spatial jade box. Before leaving, he specifically instructed me: 'Genes are the foundation of life, and creating humans is the core of creation. The two paths lead to the same goal. I wish to explore the essence of life with Your Majesty. This junior's work is merely borrowing from others' ideas, and I humbly request Your Majesty's corrections.'"

Everyone in Nuwa's palace knew that Wen Rui had offended her. As the saying goes, "What the superiors like, the inferiors will do even more to like." Nuwa called Wen Rui "little beast" all the time, and her female officials and priestesses naturally followed suit.

"Human Instrumentality Project?"

Nuwa's focus, however, was on the name of this three-race hybrid project. Just hearing the name extinguished much of the anger in her heart.

"Your Majesty, for some reason, I have heard that the little beast has hybridized the human, demon, and monster races, and has become the 'Human Instrumentality'. This servant believes that this is a great act of treason and disrespect for your great achievement of creating humankind!"

The female official, Qingluan, said angrily, "This servant originally wanted to curse this scoundrel in public, but considering his powerful evil magic of turning a phoenix into a chicken, if I were to become a chicken, I'm afraid I would never be able to fly back to Nuwa's Palace for the rest of my life. So I swallowed my anger and hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Well……"

Nuwa did not show much emotional fluctuation. She slowly nodded and said, "Put down the information you brought. You may leave now."

The female official Qingluan was also taken aback, not understanding why the Empress was not angry at such presumptuous words. In the past, whenever Wen Rui was mentioned to the Empress, the Empress would immediately turn pale and show hatred even more than when she was teased by King Zhou.

Although she didn't understand, the female official Qingluan didn't dare to ask any more questions. She put down the spatial jade box, bowed, and took her leave.

With a wave of her hand, the jade box flew into her palm. Nuwa was also taken aback when she probed the jade box with her divine sense.

No wonder they didn't use ordinary storage bags; it turns out that ordinary storage bags simply couldn't store so much data. The various files and documents contained in that jade box were piled up like mountains, and even the hard drives with huge information storage capacity were as many as a standard shipping container.

However, despite the abundance of information, the provider clearly put in effort, including a detailed index to facilitate readers' searches.

Nuwa quickly found the department she cared about most, her gaze landing on the "genetic map" at the very top of the data mountain.

The drawings are marked with complex lines and symbols, showing the genetic sequences of the human, demon, and monster races, as well as the pairing rules during fragment recombination. This is the most complete genetic code library of the three races ever created, encompassing almost all the DNA sequences of all subspecies of the three races in the mortal world.
