"Running naked in a circle?"
This was their body of the Royal Family of the Black Blood Clan, and if he ever returned to the Black Blood Clan, Lu Shangda could guarantee that the position of Clan Leader would surely be his.
When Lu Shangda obtained this body of the Black Blood Royal Family, he had already conceived a plan in his heart; he would become the next Nan Emperor of the Black Blood Clan.
Emperor Lu!
Now Lin Qian has him running naked, which was a tremendous humiliation.
Yet, he had no way to resist because his body, though still his, eerily lost its control, and he could only watch helplessly as he stripped off his clothes and ran toward the outside of the grand hall.
And he ran with a hop and skip!
"Lin Qian, kill me, if you dare, just kill me!" Lu Shangda continuously shouted as he ran out, but Lin Qian turned a deaf ear.
"Brother, it’s like taking revenge on behalf of Grandfather Gao Yuefei, but before we kill him, we need to make good use of him," Lin Qian quietly thought while watching his subordinates busy themselves.
This suggestion was made by Zhuge Ming, who upon analyzing Nan Xin’s essence blood, had discovered a possibility for technological advancement.
In the past life, the gaming technology tree of the Huaxia Empire had already been fully activated, having reached the peak. Unless the gaming company updated and introduced new cultivation technology options, technology could not be further enhanced.
Now, having crossed into this Otherworld without any gaming companies, there could not possibly be any "updates."
However, the possibility for a technological enhancement had now surfaced, through the cultivation civilization of this world.
Both the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan, in the eyes of Zhuge Ming, were too primitive to hold any research value. However, the Black Blood Clan was a different story.
The research value of the Dwarf and Giant Ghost Clans couldn’t compare to that of the Black Blood Clan, especially not the body of the Royal Black Blood Clan.
Altering the ancient Array in the Middle Ages relic, refining Nan Xin into the essence of flesh and blood—making Zhang Juncheng owe an imperial favor to him—was a decision Zhuge Ming greatly regretted. Because just having the essence blood of the Royal Black Blood Clan was not enough to support the research.
Now, another living member of the Black Blood Royal Family had appeared before him, how could Zhuge Ming miss this opportunity? Having such a living subject for observation and research was immensely beneficial.
If the research were successful, it would enhance the vitality of every person’s blood in the Huaxia Empire, and their physical strength technology would reach a new level.
Lin Qian, of course, agreed with Zhuge Ming’s proposal—it was a golden opportunity, and there was no reason to refuse.
Regarding controlling the body directly to conduct research, Lin Qian felt no guilt. Compared to the deeds of the Black Blood Clan, this was but a trivial act of retribution.
After all, being a Small World, even though the physical body of the Royal Black Blood Clan was strong, the Array controlling the body was not enough to unleash its strongest power. Running naked still took a whole day.
When he returned, there was no trace of shame on Lu Shangda’s face since he had grown accustomed to despair.
After completing the naked run, the research on the Black Blood Royal Family commenced immediately.
Besides Lin Qian and the people of the Huaxia Empire, living beings still could not enter the Empire, but the extracted blood and cut flesh and bones could still be sent to the Huaxia Empire for analysis.
The Tactical Mirror displayed the dense progress and results of the analysis—an ancient and elegant style research tool of the high-tech cultivation civilization—skillfully functioned in the hands of the scholars, observing and studying Lu Shangda, the newly emerged member of the Royal Black Blood Clan.
The controlled body, performed various actions according to the scholar’s wishes, from small changes like getting angry or showing other expressions, to larger ones like fighting, self-harm, and other extreme acts.
This great hall, once built by the Dangyuan Sect, was no longer a place to seal the Royal Family of the Black Blood Clan, but is now an office of the Heavenly Art Department of the Huaxia Empire in Origin State.
And after this process, Lu Shangda was completely astounded by the scholars of the Huaxia Empire. To be precise, he was amazed by their wisdom.
Because these people were not only intelligent, but also very cooperative, their individual wisdom could merge together.
Lu Shangda believed that in the entire history of the Black Blood Clan, there might not be any clansmen who understood the Black Blood Clan better than these scholars did.
However, as time passed, the astonishment Lin Qian brought him was far from just that.
Because he was transforming this Small World!
The part of the Heavenly Art Department in Origin State where he was located served as the brain, continuously issuing commands.
Various strange scenes displayed on the floating Tactical Mirrors in the half-space of the great hall; people in varied attire were busy on them.
People in straw hats and sweatshirts waved hoes, shovels, and axes, chopping down dead trees, overturning the dead land, and picking out rocks.
Next to them, people dressed as scholars were giving instructions, continuously burying strange objects into the soil and pouring various liquids into it.
Others were building cities, turning original solid rock into perfectly square bricks.
Various beings, each performing their duties, were changing this Small World.
The soil was becoming fertile, the dust in the sky began to disappear, rows of Spirit Wood were being planted, and rivers were being dug.
Cities were being constructed, and small towns appeared, with lively forests and gradually appearing villages.
The original Human Clan was dispersing, and in the vast and formidable Huaxia Empire, many ordinary people appeared, making the once desolate Small World begin to teem with life.
Lu Shangda witnessed with his own eyes as this Small World transformed from dullness to vibrant color; the faces appearing on the Tactical Mirrors all beamed with happy smiles.
The descendants of the Dangyuan Sect, the original inhabitants of this Small World, had portraits of Lin Qian displayed in their homes to show their gratitude.
Because all of this was brought to them by Lin Qian. Moreover, the transformation of this Small World was entirely based on their suggestions, completely the hometown of their dreams. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
The dark days of the past would never return.
Because this was Origin State, the territory of the Huaxia Empire, and their Emperor was Lin Qian.
At the location of the Heavenly Art Department in Origin State, Lu Shangda, looking at Lin Qian in front of him, remarked profoundly, "I’m afraid that the Soul Martial Continent is about to change."
"Compared to two years ago, your strength has increased to the Sky Breaking Realm, allowing you to summon an army from the Life and Death Realm, and you have replaced all one million people stationed in Origin State with soldiers of this caliber."
"I’m afraid that as your strength increases, the army you can summon will become stronger and stronger, and the number of soldiers won’t decrease. When your strength reaches a sufficient level, the entire Soul Martial Continent will be at your disposal."
Lin Qian, with a smile that was not quite a smile, looked at Lu Shangda, "Having been in this department for two years, you know me quite well. War only harms the innocent below, and I would not let the living suffer just for the conquest of the so-called Soul Martial Continent."
"However, for those who provoke me actively, I will not let them off either. If they willingly offer their territories to the Empire, what need is there to refuse, just like you. Your research is over, and seeing the outstanding value you have contributed, I will leave your body intact."
