Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 1674: 1674: Brain Science Institute

Chapter 1674: Chapter 1674: Brain Science Institute

Qiangu Qingfeng blinked in surprise, “Are you saying you can extend my life?”

Ling Zichen replied, “I still need to assess your specific situation. But just like when you first started your research, there’s no harm in trying, and trying might just give us a chance. There’s really no loss, right?”

“You’re right. So, are you saying I can research the Tang Sect’s technology, and all of the Tang Sect’s technology will be open to me?” His eyes began to sparkle.

Ling Zichen nodded, “I can even set up a specialized Brain Science Institute for you within the Tang Sect, dedicated for your use. In terms of scientific equipment, the federation, ha…” She chuckled dismissively.

“Great, it’s a deal. So when do we leave?” Qiangu Qingfeng was already eager. Initially, when he first began his research, it was for survival. Later, over thousands of years of research, he genuinely fell in love with studying technology, exploring the unknown, which is truly a wonderful experience!

Ling Zichen said, “Let’s go now. Wulin, can you escort us back immediately? I’ll arrange everything for him first.”

“Alright.” Tang Wulin smiled as well. Qiangu Qingfeng’s affairs were resolved better than expected, providing Shrek Academy and Tang Sect with an absolute authority in brain science! Qiangu Qingfeng managed to sustain his life even for ten thousand years by exploring brain domain development, a truly unprecedented achievement. Ling Zichen and Yi Zichen’s ways to prolong their lives were completely different from his. Back then, many from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect actually didn’t want to choose their method. Sometimes, staying alive isn’t necessarily the best option.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t wait too long.

Three days later, substantial personnel changes occurred within the Douluo Federation. The Military Minister announced his retirement, and Douluo Federation Seventh Fleet Commander General Bai Ling took over the position. Qiangu Qingfeng also retired, and Tang Wulin, Shrek Academy Sea God’s Pavilion’s master, temporarily filled the role.

The shift in these two positions was truly shocking to the entire federation. Meanwhile, the Douluo Federation decided to accept the Dragon Horse Federation’s request and sent troops to support them in jointly resisting the Deep Red Realm, dispatching a total of four Cosmic Fleets. At the same time, the Eighth Fleet began service, and the other three Cosmic Fleets contracted their defense, responsible for safeguarding the Douluo Federation Starfield to prevent sudden incursions from the Deep Red Realm.

Lan Xuanyu also signed an agreement on behalf of the Dragon Horse Federation. If the Deep Red Realm appeared within the Douluo Federation’s territory and launched attacks on the federation’s Administrative Planet, the Dragon Horse Federation also had the obligation to dispatch no fewer than twenty Super God-level powerhouses for support.

There were no changes to the Speaker nor the council members; everything seemed to be going naturally. But observers knew that these actions were led by Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda, with even the War God Hall not opposing. It all seemed smoothly orchestrated.

Within a week, four Cosmic Fleets will depart from their original stations and head to the Dragon Horse Star System for garrison duty. The Dragon Horse Star System will reciprocate with a large amount of resources, including the Resource Planet, providing them to the Douluo Federation for military expenses.

The rare metals already transported were all delivered to the Douluo Planet immediately, handed directly to the Douluo Federation government. Of course, the government would allocate a portion for Tang Sect’s use.

Tang Sect’s Ecological Fleet was also officially established as the Douluo Federation Ninth Fleet, independently controlled by Tang Sect. However, any mission must report to the Fighting Sky Department. The Ninth Fleet is simultaneously responsible to the Fighting Sky Department, essentially making it a subordinate fleet.

This series of changes increased Shrek Academy and Tang Sect’s control over various aspects of the federation, forcing the federation government to compromise.

For many years, Shrek Academy had maintained neutrality, not participating in federation governmental affairs, but merely showing a glimpse of its depth led the Congress to opt for compromise. It was undoubtedly a wise decision.

Of course, detractors were inevitable. The influence of an academy reaching such magnitude naturally raised concerns.

Yet, during this crucial moment, Shrek Academy did not retreat. The Deep Red Realm must be fully confronted; avoiding due to improper circumstances should not affect the greater situation.

Shrek Academy, Eternal Sky City.

Sea God’s Pavilion seemed relatively quiet today, with each elder attending to personal affairs. The Ecological Fleet already left Douluo Planet’s outer space.

At this moment, inside Sea God’s Pavilion were only Tang Wulin and the father-son pair Lan Xuanyu, while Gu Yuena remained at the Spirit Pagoda dealing with some matters. Though she hadn’t actually done much during this time, she did ensure Spirit Pagoda showed a firm stance. At least until the Deep Red Realm issue was resolved, she would retain her position as Pagoda Master.

“Dad, the situation here is mostly settled. I also need to hurry back to the Deep Red Realm. But there’s a concern I have about Douluo Planet’s divinity.” Lan Xuanyu said.

Tang Wulin asked, “Are you worried the Deep Red Realm might choose to ambush us and consume Douluo Planet?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Exactly. The life energy of Celestial Harmony Star is incredibly rich. After consuming Celestial Harmony Star, the strength of the Deep Red Realm will greatly increase, making it even more difficult to resist. If they suddenly descend upon Douluo Planet, it might be beyond our ability to fight back. Even if the Dragon Horse Federation wanted to assist, they wouldn’t be able to reach in time. Would our four Cosmic Fleets be able to withstand?”

Tang Wulin nodded, “This indeed poses a problem. Although the likelihood of the Deep Red Realm directly attacking us is relatively small, they are more likely to target the twin stars of Dragon and Horse, but we cannot let down our guard. The most troubling aspect of the Deep Red Realm isn’t their strength but their teleportation. We don’t even know how many more times they can transport or how far they could cover.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Dad, I’m considering trying to communicate with the Void Bug to see if there’s a solution here. Either prevent Deep Red Realm’s teleportation or enable us with teleportation capabilities.”

Tang Wulin replied, “Bring the Void Bug with you when you leave this time. The Void Bug originated from the Cosmic Origin and is part of the law of the universe. With your level of cultivation, you should gradually be utilizing its power, possibly finding a solution.”

“Yes, I plan to test it on our side first. The Void Bug shouldn’t be exposed easily; otherwise, even the Dragon Clan might covet it. I’m more worried it could fall into the Mother of Deep Red’s hands, which would be genuinely catastrophic trouble. So, I believe keeping the Void Bug with you and mom is safest. I’ll communicate with it first and not take it with me this time.”

This was Lan Xuanyu’s carefully thought-out decision; having the Void Bug with him would certainly facilitate his research and usage, but the problem is, the Mother of Deep Red might already have him in sight. His strength doesn’t assure the protection of the Void Bug. His parents’ strength is greater than imagined, and the ecological fleet acts as a guard, ensuring its safety in their hands.

“Very well.” Tang Wulin didn’t refuse, spoke in a serious tone, “After you return this time, request the Dragon Clan to go to the Dragon Realm for cultivation. Focusing on improving your cultivation is the fundamental solution. Concerning the rest, you don’t need to worry for now. Two major federations have temporarily reached an agreement. Your mom and I will represent Douluo Federation in frontline combat afterwards. The newly appointed Military Minister, General Bai Ling, is the overall commander of the four fleets on the front line. With such concentrated power, even if the Deep Red Realm returns, we should be able to defend.”
