Chapter 620: Liu Diqiu
The girl in the baseball cap had introduced a groundbreaking theory, one that no one had seemed to consider before. Yet, Li Xiaofei’s intuition told him there was a high chance she was telling the truth.
He had pondered before why the Jiepeng and Yiggs forces on his Earth could use divine weapons to control star beasts. These were star beasts, a collective of monstrous entities comprising countless bizarre species.
Higher-grade star beasts possessed overwhelming strength and exceptional intelligence. Logically, such beings should not be easily manipulated like disposable cannon fodder. Yet, they were controlled by mere divine weapons.
Moreover, he recalled how his young lady had once mentioned that her Corpse Whisper technique could easily manipulate the corpses of star beasts and Yiggs warriors to turn them into combat-ready forces in the beginning. But later, for some unknown reason, the corpses of star beasts became immune to the technique. This phenomenon had left her utterly baffled.
Now, it seemed like Li Xiaofei had found an explanation. Could Eden have adjusted the gene lock within the star beasts, adding new programs that rendered them immune to Corpse Whisper’s manipulation?
"You’ve come to me because you want my help, right?" Li Xiaofei looked at the girl in the baseball cap. "Go on, what do you need to take control of the star beasts on Earth?"
The girl nodded and said, "There are three methods. Based on my research, the fastest would be to release a biological gene toxin to disrupt the existing gene lock, much like inserting a virus into a computer program to seize control of the star beasts’ bodies. “
"The second method would be to use the gene lock itself, broadcasting new encrypted commands via brainwaves to break them free from Eden’s control.. Last, the third option, which is slower, would involve cultivating new star beasts under our control and having them mate with the existing star beasts on Earth. Through this gradual process, we could alter the genetic structure of the star beasts over time."
Li Xiaofei nodded thoughtfully.
What was this world most in need of? Talent. And what kind of talent was most valuable? The kind of people who not only identified problems but also proposed solutions and could ultimately solve those problems. Clearly, the girl in the baseball cap was precisely this kind of person.
"Using breeding to alter the gene lock within star beasts would take centuries, and even then, success isn’t guaranteed. It’s theoretically possible, but given Earth’s current dire situation, it’s nothing more than a drop in the ocean," Li Xiaofei said, dismissing the last method. He added, "The biological toxin and brainwave approaches are viable. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
