Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 255 Laboratory

After Rui Mengmeng left, Qiao Yi got up, went into a room in the villa, and pressed a disguised button on the wall. The wall moved, revealing a passage leading underground. This passage was not dark at all; it was quite bright, with a metal structure forming the main body of the passage.

At the end of the corridor was not a dark basement, but a very spacious and sizable laboratory. The bright and airy space, with its soft LED lighting, created a bright yet comfortable research environment.

The laboratory is well-organized, with clearly defined functional areas. In the central area are several sophisticated experimental devices and instruments, including a high-performance computer, a high-speed centrifuge, and a high-precision spectrometer, all flashing various indicator lights and emitting a soft hum.

On the lab bench, there were various test tubes, beakers and experimental equipment, while in one corner there were piles of various materials. These materials were very rare, and most of them could not be collected on Earth.

On one of the lab benches were several test tubes filled with red liquid, which upon closer inspection was clearly blood. Also on the bench was a half-wing covered in white feathers.

In a corner of the laboratory, however, the scene was completely different. There was a small cage where a handsome, blond young man was imprisoned. Half a wing could be seen behind him; clearly, the half-wing on the lab table had been detached from this young man.

Sumali, an ancient god-slayer, was a general under Hua Ye during the Heavenly Palace Order period of the Angelic Civilization. After the Heavenly Palace Order was overthrown, he was exiled to Earth because Pipi Xi was still unsettled.

While committing numerous atrocities on Blue Star, it also continuously collects various resources from the Crimson Crow star system. Therefore, in the story, after stealing the genetic backup of the Galactic Force, it can immediately upgrade itself.

Having been exiled to Earth, his combat power is extremely outdated. However, he has collected enough resources to upgrade at least one third-generation super soldier and possesses a silver-bladed dagger. He also carries angelic genes, making him a renowned "newbie gift pack" in numerous super-god derivative novel worlds.

The same thing happened with Joey; it wasn't that Joey actively sought them out. Sumari's territory was in Europe, and Joey happened to run into him while doing business there, so he decided to capture him as well.

The silver-bladed dagger that was installed on Ruimengmeng was the same one used by Sumari. At the same time, Joey also obtained various supplies that Sumari had accumulated over the years from him, and he didn't even let go of the antique supercomputer installed in the dark dimension.

Joey wasn't sure if the antique supercomputer had any problems, so he used it as a research tool. It contained Sumari's knowledge about supergenes, which was the most helpful thing to Joey.

Soumali, now in Joey's hands, would rather die than submit? This guy's terribly afraid of death; after witnessing how none of his methods worked on Joey, he's become incredibly spineless. And if he doesn't cooperate, Joey wouldn't mind letting him experience Diablo's treatment.

To be precise, Sumari had already experienced part of it; the terrified look on his face when he saw Joey showed just how afraid he was of Joey. Thankfully, Joey could perfectly control the Golden Experience Requiem, allowing Sumari to experience a period of near-death, an endless cycle, before being able to stop the experience, perfectly ensuring the "client's" experience.

With the knowledge and resources he gained from Sumari, Joey could easily upgrade himself to a second-generation super soldier, let alone a third-generation one, especially since he was using angel genes. The potential of angel genes is only slightly below those top-tier god-creating products, far surpassing Ruimengmeng's Noxing Sharp Knife.

But Joey, possessing the Gold Experience Requiem, wasn't interested in super soldiers. His research focused on dissecting Sumari's angelic genes; he only needed the portion that would grant him immortality. The rest was dross to him, to be discarded. He didn't need any of those miscellaneous abilities; he wanted pure genetic evolution to extend his lifespan, not to gradually transform himself into a walking supercomputer like a super soldier.

To put it more simply, Joey's research is the ultimate, enhanced version of Qilin's situation, focusing solely on physical evolution and unrelated to anything else. However, this research is quite complex. He captured Sumari several years ago, and in the past few years, Joey has only absorbed all of Sumari's knowledge.

This was largely thanks to his awakening of his Stand's power. Stand power is the embodiment of mental energy, and in the world of JoJo, his original body showed no unusual behavior.

Because he directly possesses power beyond that of a Stand, such as Gold Experience Requiem, Joey's mental strength is extremely strong. In this world, this results in his own brain being highly developed, allowing him to learn everything quickly.

Before capturing Soumari, Joey had already studied all the scientific knowledge on Earth. It was precisely this extraordinary learning ability that allowed Joey to consolidate the underground forces of Great Gorge City without making much use of his Stand ability.

Joey possesses not only the genes of angels, but also those of Liu Chuang, Rui Mengmeng, and Su Xiaoli. Their blood is not difficult to obtain, but deciphering the technology within the genes requires at least the technological level of a god-creating civilization, which Joey, without a system, obviously cannot accomplish.

Deciphering it is difficult, but Joey doesn't need their technology, so dismantling it is relatively easy; he can barely manage it with his current skills.

At this point in his research, Joey is very close to success. It's not that his research is exceptionally advanced, but rather that he's simply working to convert the supergene back to its most primitive state.

As the known universe has developed to its current state, the pinnacle of technology is the so-called "god-making project," along with Karl's phantom body and the divine body of the Angel King. These technological gods are essentially similar; they are all the most powerful weapons of their respective civilizations, deviating from the original purpose of developing super-genes.

The concept of "supergenes" was first proposed by Ding Gehei, the chief scientist of the Shenhe civilization. While exploring the ultimate truth of the universe, he deeply felt the brevity of the lifespan of the Shenhe people. In the 137 billion-year lifespan of the universe, a human lifespan of a few hundred years is as fleeting as a mayfly that lives only a day.

Initially, Dingolführer initiated the Gene Extension Project, which aimed to extend lifespan by altering genes. This project successfully extended the lifespan of participants to several thousand years.

This plan caused a sensation throughout the entire Shenhe Civilization; after all, nothing is more exciting than life itself. Once mature, the plan was rolled out across the entire Shenhe Civilization, which could greatly alleviate its increasingly serious population structure problems.

Until the military intervened, with its support, a millennium project codenamed "Super Soldier" was officially launched under Dinghei's leadership.

This millennium-long project, which changed the course of history and technology, was later renamed the "God-Making Project." Simply put, the genetic modification project shifted from longevity to humanoid weapons.
