Chapter 1127 Fusion Experiment
The scientists present were usually eccentric and unruly, but they didn't dare to show any displeasure when they saw this man. They all greeted him politely, "Boss Yi."

The names of the managers of the top ten companies are now unknown, just like the numbers one to ten on the round table of the Supreme Conference, which they named themselves with.

Another interpretation is that it represents the order of authority, and these ten numbers represent all of Blue League.

A boss walked to the center of the room, found a seat, and sat down. An AI butler then served him his favorite tea.

He took a sip of tea before speaking slowly and deliberately: "Don't be so reserved, sit down and talk. You are all valuable talents of the Blue Alliance, so don't overwork yourselves."

The scientists were not convinced, but they were also curious about what the boss of Tianyu Company would say, so they all sat down with sullen faces.

"Here's what happened. I've met Lu Li before, but only through a screen during the interrogation. At the time, I was just a regional vice president at Tianyu Company. Because the arms business was affected, this case was handed over to my desk."

One boss said, "I signed the execution order for Lu Li."

At this moment, Lu Li, inside the cabin, looked at the boss and listened to his words, feeling a sense of fantasy.

Who could have imagined that after his adventures in the space, returning to his homeland more than a million years later, he would still be able to see 'old friends' he had never met before?

He sat in the research chamber, listening to how the other person signed their own death sentence execution documents; it was simply too surreal.

"What a waste! What a waste! Are you stupid?! How could you destroy such valuable research material?!"

One scientist lamented, disregarding the difference in their social standing.

Fortunately, the boss didn't care. Having been in this position of supreme power for so long, he had long since passed the stage where he needed to rely on fear to demonstrate his strength. Instead, he had begun to feel weary of power, to the point that he had become gentle and mild-mannered.

Besides, that was the chief researcher of another company, so it wasn't convenient for him to deal with it. If he got angry, it would make him seem petty.

"Looking back now, I did make a wrong judgment at the time. But Lu Li was very well hidden, and you are all smart people who know what the limitations of the times are. Given the technological conditions of that era, I naturally did not think that he could destroy the company's exoskeleton with his physical strength."

One boss said, "Actually, there was also a manager on site that day. He saw Lu Li's value and tried to stop the attack midway, wanting to capture him alive. However, the situation got out of control, and he ultimately messed it up."

The people present had mixed expressions, but they knew that the past could not be changed. The fact that the boss of Tianyu Company was willing to share information with them was already a breakthrough in the situation.

"Did you analyze Lu Li's peak output values ​​afterward?"

One scientist asked.

This time, Liu answered. He entered a string of code on the control panel and passed the genetic authentication, which gave Talma the authority to access the data. A report was then presented to everyone.

"My God, is this numerical deduction really correct? Theoretically, peak output can reach three thousand kilograms!?"

"Incredible muscle resilience and bone strength, is this really human? Has he not undergone internal modifications!?"

"Considering his size and weight, this can no longer be explained by genetic engineering..."

"..."

The scientists looked at the report and exclaimed in amazement, all of them stunned by the results.

Yes, even with today's advanced genetic engineering, there are still limits to human physical strength.

It's just that they optimized genes, eliminated most diseases, and can replace parts when they break, which allows many people to live longer and be healthy and strong.

Their immortality stems from their use of genetic technology to overcome the limit of cell division, allowing them to continuously iterate.

However, as long as the human body is still made of flesh and blood and has the same physical structure, it cannot break through the theoretical limits of strength.

Even with the best genetic optimization, a strong man can only exert a maximum of two tons of peak strength, and that's assuming the man himself weighs 200 kilograms and is exceptionally robust.

However, the height-to-weight ratio of Lu Li shown in the data is completely within the range of a normal fitness enthusiast. He is not a short person with high density and heavy weight, so it is impossible to explain why his body has such strong strength.

After an exciting discussion, the scientists unanimously agreed that Lu Li's body must possess some special power that defies genetic science. If they could study it, they might be able to open the door to the extraordinary world and figure out how the Sacred Soul is used.

As Lu Li listened to their discussion, he felt quite strange. He thought to himself, "I'm just born with superhuman strength... why do they have to give such a convoluted explanation?"
There was only one thing he was certain of, and it had nothing to do with whether or not he possessed a Holy Soul. Even if his master hadn't placed the Holy Soul within him, he would still have been born with divine power. After all, the Holy Soul only began to influence him after he started to come into contact with soul power in the world of death.

Before that, the Holy Soul had little influence on his physical body. Only that one time during the rainy night did an accident occur. Before the Holy Soul interfered with him, he was already very strong.

"Lu Li, although what he's discussing is quite funny, do you think your master doesn't use up his Holy Soul himself?"

Lu Xueqing asked.

Lu Li also fell into deep thought, "Perhaps Master thinks this is a good thing and wants to leave it to me, who is like his child."

"Then why not give it to your senior sister? Is he sexist?"

Lu Xueqing's words left Lu Li speechless.

Yes, why not give it to Senior Sister? Although Senior Sister is not an abnormal human, she has good talent in martial arts and is considered an outstanding existence among mortals. She is also older and more obedient than him.

Not only that, but Senior Sister is Master's own daughter. What reason would Master have not to give his own daughter an adopted child?
unless……

“I understand… the Holy Soul is probably not something anyone can receive…”

Lu Li suddenly realized that it was precisely because of his innate divine strength that his master gave him the Holy Soul. If an ordinary person were to combine with the Holy Soul, they would probably not have a good ending.

But... Master is an ordinary person, not a scientist, and doesn't have any research methods. How did he know all this?
What else did Master see and know in the sinkhole?
Lu Li's feelings were complicated. He didn't want to think about things in the direction of conspiracy theories, but now that he thought about it, his master must have had many things he hadn't told him, such as why he entered the sinkhole, how he killed all the martial artists of an era, and why he finally chose him and gave him the Holy Soul.

If the Holy Soul is not something that just anyone can receive, then this matter is risky. If the master gives the Holy Soul to him, can it really be for his own good?

Thinking of this, Lu Li was startled and realized something was wrong with him. Why were his thoughts becoming more and more negative lately? He cheered himself up, feeling that things couldn't be negative; he just knew too little. Once he recovered, he would definitely be able to find out the truth.

Meanwhile, the discussions among the scientists outside had reached a fever pitch, and ultimately, the focus of their criticism was on Tianyu Company.

They believe that Tianyu Company probably knew about the existence of the sinkhole a long time ago and that it was true, since they all had Lu Li's remains. Therefore, for the past million years, Tianyu Company has been secretly investigating without exchanging information with other companies.

It was only later that Tianyu Company realized they couldn't handle the task on their own, so they brought in other companies to join them. It wasn't until they developed a stellar-level AI that they were finally able to start searching for sinkholes.

"Oh, that's fine."

One of the bosses sighed, "I'm here now, so I'm sharing my experience. I'm not going to hide anything from everyone anymore. On the contrary, I'm here with some suggestions."

"Please speak, boss."

Liu asked respectfully, unsure whether it could be considered a coordinated effort.

"I'm just an entrepreneur and I don't understand scientific research, but I believe there are many logics in the world that aren't that complicated. I can tell you that for millions of years, we have preserved Lu Li's remains very well, and through research, we have even stimulated some of the activity in that body and completed it."

One of the bosses said, "Don't look at me like that. Even if I took out the body and shared it with everyone for you to study, what would you possibly find out? Tianyu Company has been studying it for millions of years, and you all know Liu's abilities."

"What does the boss want to say?"

One of the scientists asked impatiently.

"My suggestion is simple: since Lu Li may have been the holder of the Holy Soul back then, it means that his body can match the Holy Soul and will not be eroded or destroyed by it. Why don't we try placing the Holy Soul on him?"

One of the bosses said with a smile.

"A boss is willing to spend that much?"

Scientists were puzzled. They knew that businessmen don't act without profit, and Lu Li's remains were Tianyu Company's biggest bargaining chip. Why would they take them out so easily?
What if the fusion experiment fails? What if Lu Li's remains are also melted away?
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just watch the experiment stall like this. Even though the company is organizing the next exploration, Talma's calculation results are there, and it would take a million years. Can you all afford to wait that long? Or are you willing to wait?"

The boss's words silenced everyone. Indeed, they had achieved near immortality through genetic engineering, but waiting for the results over such a long period was agonizing.

For researchers in particular, it is simply unbearable to know that conducting an experiment could lead to a breakthrough and obtain more information, yet have to wait a million years.

"Doesn't Tianyu Company have any other conditions?"

One of them spoke up and asked.

One of the bosses snapped his fingers and said, “You’ve hit the nail on the head. Tianyu Company has only one condition: if this fusion experiment is successful, the first round of research on the active holy soul body must be conducted by Tianyu.”

This involves a contract previously signed by the ten major companies. The original contract stipulated that after obtaining the Holy Soul, everyone would conduct joint research, but any results would be distributed according to the contribution ratio.

However, if we follow the boss's current suggestion, they will be given exclusive access to the Active Holy Soul for research. It's said to be a round, but the duration of this first round is still undetermined.

If it takes a year or two, that's fine, but what if it takes Tianyu a million years? If they really figure it out, wouldn't Tianyu become the only dominant force on Earth?

Seemingly sensing everyone's concerns, one of the bosses said, "Don't worry, this isn't your decision. I'll talk to the other bosses. You just need to tell me if you want to do this experiment and if you're confident you can come up with a complete plan."

The scientists present looked at each other, the answer obvious: who wouldn't want to do an experiment? Especially one that could potentially change the fate of the world.

The decision was quickly made, and the boss contacted managers of other companies. Because the research had hit a bottleneck and the experiment might not even make progress, the other companies quickly agreed to the plan as well.

The contract stipulates that if the experiment is successful, Tianyu will have exclusive rights to research the activated Sacred Soul for the first ten years.

Lu Li, who had been closely following the developments, also became excited, because regardless of whether the remains of 'himself' were real or fake, he felt that things were about to take a turn for the better.

Soon, within a week, the laboratory updated its equipment and facilities, and moved Lu Li and Lu Xueqing's conjoined eggs to a new room.

Here, Lu Li saw a sealed cabin open, with a large amount of mist pouring out. Lying inside the metal cabin was a naked male body.

If Lu Li had eyes, they would be wide open, because he discovered that this body was exactly the same as his when he was young, and the body was intact without a single scar.

The people from Tianyu Company were not lying; they really did use cutting-edge technology to repair Lu Li's body.

"Is it really you!?"

Lu Xueqing was also very shocked, but after staring at that body for a few seconds, she looked away, mainly because she found it a bit too jarring.

"It's strange, but I feel like this body is calling to me, and it's no different from the body I had when I was young..."

Lu Li's tone was strange.

Meanwhile, scientists were debating how to fuse the black and red eggs, since they were connected.

Just then, Lu Li withdrew the tentacles that had been attaching to Lu Xueqing, separating the black and red eggs. He then used the momentum of the rolling motion to roll towards his own body.

This discovery stunned the scientists, followed by ecstatic joy. "There's a change! It seems Tianyu made the right bet this time! The body that absorbed the Holy Soul is indeed compatible! It's already starting to attract the Holy Soul to roll towards him!"

"Don't get excited, where's the equipment? Quickly retrieve the data!"

"We have observed an increase in the activation index of the Black Holy Soul, while the Crimson Holy Soul remains unchanged. We believe that the Black Holy Soul is more suitable!"

"Then what are we waiting for? While the Holy Soul is showing a rare activation reaction, let's begin the first wave of exploratory fusion experiments!"

The chief scientists of each company were excitedly directing the operation, feeling that they might be about to witness a miracle.
