Alien Science Cultivation

"Let's prepare some passive plasma non-lightning-termination towers for it, and... what kind of being is this Nether Beast..." Zhang Qiang eagerly anticipated the Dulong's transformation, his heart aching with excitement, his thoughts racing. As if the heavens had sensed Zhang Qiang's anticipation, the light of the Dulong's body across from him silently and visibly brightened. "Damn... Speak of the devil, and he'll appear..." Zhang Qiang didn't hesitate for a moment. The Nether Dagger and the Blood Robe instantly appeared before him. Zhang Qiang planned to use Nether Blood Essence as the primary element, supplemented by the Seven-Colored Butterfly, preserving as many of the Nether Beast's characteristics as possible to better inherit its ability to travel through space. If the legends were true, then the real Nether Beast likely possessed another great power: unparalleled hardness. Just a few drops of its blood could render an ordinary dagger indestructible. Killing powerful beings like the Seven-Colored Butterfly would be as easy as taking something from a bag, demonstrating the Nether Beast's toughness. Of course, even if the legends were false, its ability to travel through space alone was terrifying enough.

"The Colorful Butterfly is not bad, but... what if I make the slightest mistake and turn Dulong into a woman? I'll probably kill him..." Zhang Qiang concentrated, his spiritual awareness fully activated. The blood within the Nether Dagger slowly materialized before his eyes, its atomic form. The Yin-Yang Tai Chi sphere within Zhang Qiang's Dantian spun rapidly, instantly sending the Nether Beast's blood into Dulong's heart. He then mobilized all his energy, carefully injecting it into the endogenous pluripotent stem cells in the bloodstream, allowing them to recover their abilities. Once they had replicated to a certain number, he would then inject the Colorful Butterfly's blood into Dulong's heart and repeat the process. When the two types of cells reached a similar number, he would instantly disassemble them, reprogram them through DNA, and reassemble them into new cells. The recombined cells inherited the Colorful Butterfly's mastery of flight, as well as the Nether Beast's sturdiness and understanding of the laws of space. He then continued to supply energy to each cell, allowing each cell and tissue to spontaneously grow into new body parts. Of course, Zhang Qiang had to constantly provide energy throughout this entire process.

Time slipped by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Dulong's pupae had covered his entire body, yet Dulong seemed to be in a deep sleep. Zhang Qiang could only sense his vital signs; his consciousness seemed completely gone. Zhang Qiang wondered how long this continuous energy input would last. The energy demand from these cells was truly overwhelming. Zhang Qiang looked inward at his third dantian. Although the Yin-Yang fish spun continuously, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, it could never meet the energy needs of Dulong's cells.

"The spiritual energy here is too thin. I don't know when this kid will wake up. As a novice cultivator, I estimate that I can only hold out for about half a year at most. I can't let one mistake... and let all my efforts go to waste..." After thinking hard for a long time, Zhang Qiang still couldn't find a solution. He could only hope that Dulong would wake up soon. After all, compared to a novice like himself, he should have more ideas! With Zhang Qiang's persistence, Dulong's body was basically formed after three months. Zhang Qiang was quite satisfied with the prototype, but he was troubled by his eyes. "Could it be that the Nether Beast also has one eye? Or did something go wrong that caused Dulong to inherit the original eye? This eye is really ugly. There are clearly spaces for eyes on the left and right sides of this head! Why haven't the eyes grown out? No, there are cells in the eyeball area, but they are swallowed up by the surrounding immune cells... Damn... I was careless... I discovered it a little late... It turns out that the creatures on this planet have two independent immune systems, the eyes and the body, just like humans on Earth! What's the matter with the eye on the top of the head? Why is it safe and sound? Let's check it out carefully..." Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang used his spiritual consciousness to control the immune cells to stop swallowing the newly generated eye tissue cells. His spiritual consciousness also entered the area around Dulong's third eye and brain. "Anywhere can have defects, but this head cannot. Hmm... why is it still in a ghost state? This new cellular matter is replacing the original Bose-Einstein condensate matter! Other parts are directly swallowed... simple and fast, this... I see, no wonder you have no awareness of the outside world. It turns out you are busy here. You said you want to protect your brain and your consciousness, but why protect that eye? Don't you mind your one-eyed appearance? Forget it, I respect your choice..." Zhang Qiang used all his strength to activate his spiritual consciousness, entered Dulong's brain and third eye, controlled the new brain matter and the new matter in the third eye, slowly absorbed and replaced all the information in the Bose-Einstein state, and the method was like copying a USB flash drive!

"It seems that your brain needs to grow before you can regain consciousness..." Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang focused on increasing the energy input to Dulong's brain to complete the "copy" faster. As time passed, another month passed in the blink of an eye. Dulong's brain had been completely replaced by new matter, but he still did not wake up. Zhang Qiang originally estimated that the spiritual power in his Dantian could last for five months. Due to the increased energy input to Dulong's brain, Zhang Qiang's Dantian was about to dry up, and it could only last for three to five days at most. If Dulong still did not wake up after that, it was estimated that his golden elixir would be dissolved. Even if Zhang Qiang destroyed his golden elixir and gave up his cultivation, he could only last for another five months. Looking inward at the golden elixir in his Dantian, Zhang Qiang's heart was filled with bitterness! "This golden elixir has just been warmed up... Damn it... I've read too many immortal cultivation novels, and everyone seems to have smooth sailing, slaying Buddhas and demons... lording over the world. Why the hell am I so miserable...? Never mind... I'll just accept my fate... I hope these two fish eyes can be of some use to you! They're ruined for me, too... Sigh..." After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Qiang's consciousness shifted, and two pale gold and black cylindrical objects appeared before him. They were one of the two pairs of yin-yang eyes on the Tai Chi sphere within Zhang Qiang's third dantian. With a flick of his consciousness, the two eyes entered Dulong's left and right eyes. For the past few months, Zhang Qiang had noticed that Dulong's eyeballs had never appeared, and the material needed for their growth had never reappeared. Zhang Qiang suspected he'd discovered it too late, or that they had been silently devoured. Zhang Qiang no longer cared to investigate. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to organize, control, and increase the energy needed to regrow them. He could only ensure the normal growth and formation of the cells surrounding the eyeballs. The Dulong on the opposite side seemed to sense a pair of external objects on his body, and his body twitched, as if urging himself to wake up as soon as possible.
