Huang Ji cured Tang Yan using the 86%-effective miracle drug he had developed.
There was no alternative. While Huang Ji’s virus-fusion method could enable evolution in just three months, it was only applicable to himself. To evolve others, he would need to tailor a unique "perfect fusion formula" for each individual, requiring 90 days of continuous observation and constant adjustments. Such evolution was fundamentally impossible to scale.
Historically, large-scale evolution across an entire species required thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years. Generations of viruses would pass through countless hosts, gradually reaching the point of integration. Even then, several human generations would be needed to complete the process.
Huang Ji compressed this timeline to three months, but in doing so, he eliminated the virus’ ability to spread. Thus, the most effective and widely applicable drug he could currently produce was the one he developed in just 17 hours.
“You’re free to go, Tang Yan,” Huang Ji said after curing him.
“So soon?” Tang Yan was stunned. “Wasn’t it supposed to take 20 days?”
“I just wanted to see if you had any remorse,” Huang Ji replied nonchalantly. “Actually, six years ago, I only suffered minor injuries. I flew so far because the ground was slippery…”
