"Master Nostradamus, please advise Lord Earl......"

In the year 839, on the fifth day of May, in the evening, the sacrifice ground of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the underground cavity practice of the salt sea.

In the hall of the research institute, a white-robed researcher pleaded to the person beside him in an almost prayerful tone: "This is a joint research institute after all, be as careful as possible, he is a legendary powerhouse who is not afraid of the failure of the experiment, but we are not, if you don't do it well, the entire cavity will be implicated......"

The researcher's tone was sincere, even a little crying, and behind him, a number of researchers nodded their heads in unison.

"Yes, yes, absolutely!"

"Although I knew that every powerful warrior was a master of manipulating life force, I didn't expect ......"

"It's too dangerous, really, it's obviously unnecessary......"

Scattered words spread through the crowd, and listening to these words, an old mage with a helpless expression on his face sighed: "Okay, I know, you guys should be a little quieter." Then, he turned his head and said to the white-robed researcher, "What is Joshua doing again?" And even if you are afraid of something going wrong, you can just give your opinion, and he is still very talkative. ”

After the white-robed researcher and the others behind him looked at each other, he turned his head and replied quite confidently: "We don't dare!" ”

Then, his tone quickly softened again: "Master, Lord Earl, his experiment is too dangerous and immoral...... Please let him stop the experiment, it really can't be done, let His Majesty the Emperor persuade him too...... It's really a bit out of our mind......"

- So you guys dare to give me an opinion?

Nostradamus, who was called by the emergency communication, felt as if he was being seen as a good talker, but alas, he was really good at talking. So after listening to the researchers' complaints, the old mage shook his head and replied helplessly, "Israel? It's strange that he will persuade them, two guys who keep dragons as pets, and none of them are human at home, and the danger in their eyes is not the same as your group of people at all. ”

"As for now...... Okay, I'll ask about the situation, but you guys, give me a plan for the 'Transformation of the Otherworldly Ecological Environment' as soon as possible, and we will cooperate with the elves and the Guantian White Tower, and let the Nature Master personally make this perfect natural realm, not to let you waste resources." ”

After speaking, the old mage walked towards the practice room in the center of the research institute amid the echo of a group of researchers.

Soon, he entered the circle of fields that all the researchers in the entire cavity research institute did not dare to approach, opened the door of the fourth practice room, and the heavy air began to exchange.

"Joshua, why did you suddenly change your mind and start experimenting-"

Nostradamus was about to speak, asking what the hell his friend was up to, how he could scare the group of researchers who were laughing and laughing with the undead and dissecting the monsters alive, but when he walked into the practice room and saw the layers of things around him, the old mage couldn't help but gasp.

"Truth is above, what the hell is this?!"

What appeared in front of the old mage was a dense, quietly stacked 'body'.

The human body.

The silvery square practice chamber, which is actually located in a small artificial half-plane, is connected to reality through a magic door, and can directly cut off magical contact when necessary, avoiding contact with the outside world as a result of a failed experiment. Because of this, the area of the practice room is actually very large, the size of a medium-sized city square.

But now, in such a huge area, there are many translucent spindle life-sustaining crystal cabins, and among them is a 'body'.

The reason why I didn't say it was a corpse was because these bodies were still alive, and Nostradamus sensed that these bodies were still breathing, and the body was still in a metabolic cycle, and clusters of silver light were flying in the air, which were many silver goblins, who were happily replenishing the necessary nutrients for each life-sustaining crystal pod to maintain its activity.

If it's just the body, it's not enough to shock Nostradamus, he is also a legendary powerhouse who has experienced the orc battlefield, and he has seen the mountain-like pile of corpses in Jingguan, let alone the one who is still alive?

What really made him speak was all sorts of strange and strange humanoid creatures mixed with these similar human bodies.

Among them, there is a prosthetic person whose body has been replaced by a partial puppet structure, and the biological part coexists with the machine.

Among them, there are those whose bodies have been completely replaced by mechanical golem structures, and only the brain, brainstem, and spine exist - and even these are partially assimilated synths.

In addition, there is also a part of the body that has been assimilated with the demonic beast, almost a beast, with internal organs that have been replaced with artificial transcendent organs, and basically only the shell is considered the original modified human - even the brain has been replaced with a purely mechanical existence with a magical mechanical structure.

Countless assorted, bizarre human models were placed in the crystal cabin, their eyes closed, and from time to time they spewed out a series of bubbles, as if they were breathing. There is no doubt that all of these bodies are alive and none of them are dead.

And in the center of these human bodies, in the center of the entire fourth practice room, a man who was sitting on a chair, as if he was thinking about something, noticed the arrival of his friend, he slowly stood up, turned his head, and said with some surprise: "Nostradamus? What are you doing here? ”

"Someone called over - those researchers were scared to tears by you."

The old mage walked through the crystal cabins, he came to Joshua's side, and looked around the entire practice room with a serious expression: "I was still wondering why, but now I can explain it...... What are you going to do? Human trials? You don't need to do that for a long time, do you? ”

"Of course not, where do you want to go...... I'm thinking of a suitable new body template for the Guardians. ”

Joshua waved his hand, looking a little embarrassed: "I accidentally made a little more, so I had to save all of them first, and wait for William and them to come over to see which one is more suitable." ”

"For the Guardians? Indeed, this can be explained. ”

Nostradamus immediately reacted, the person in front of him was indeed the guy responsible for creating the new bodies of the guardians of the Great Database, and he had the power to create, let alone a mere human body, even if it was a matter of time before he built a small planet. It's just that the way this body is placed is too permeable, like a pile of corpse specimens soaked in embalming.

And that's not the most important thing.

"Joshua, it's just to create new flesh for the Guardians, there's no need to do this...... Superfluous experiments, right? ”

Nostradamus slowly approached a crystal pod, he stared at the artificial body of the star that had been transplanted and mechanically modified by the Warcraft organs, he suppressed the slight dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in a solemn tone, "Human...... That's not true. The Guardians have transformed themselves into non-humans, and we want to turn them back into humans, not into another kind of non-human. ”

Perhaps, it is precisely for this reason that those researchers who are not afraid of heaven and earth are so afraid of this practice room, not because they are afraid of these bodies that are simply alive but do not have their own will, but because they are afraid of the meaning behind each body.

When Joshua heard this, the expression on his face gradually converged and became serious, he frowned, and said quite puzzledly, "Is there one?" ”

It's just prosthetic body modification, consciousness uploading, a little genetic modification and cloning engineering, and at most some Warcraft, or the transplantation of artificial biological organs—isn't this a normal thing?

"It's not normal at all."

As if noticing the confusion of the representative behind Joshua's expression, Nostradamus shook his head cautiously, he walked up to the warrior, glanced at the surrounding crystal cabin, he pointed to a body whose spine had been replaced by a series of metal skeletons, and whose eyes had been replaced by mechanical prosthetic eyes, and said solemnly: "This kind of transformation should not be up to you to decide for them, but for them to decide for themselves." Even if they are inusable and fragile, we should provide them with their original human bodies as much as possible. ”

"Actually, it's not just for the defenders,"

In this regard, Joshua scratched his head, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless - because the old mage was too righteous and righteous, so he didn't even know what the plan was going to say.

- After he finished crafting the bodies provided for the Guardians, on a whim, he planned to deduce the sublimation process of the lives of the people in the Microf world...... A process of sublimation that can be popularized and allows everyone to gain a certain amount of supernatural power.

On a whim, he wanted to try to create a 'primordial body' with the perfect talent for extraordinary strength.

As a result of this recommendation, the total number of 1,179 bodies with completely different physical structures, but mostly remained in human form.

Whether it is prosthetic modification, consciousness uploading, or what kind of cloning, genetic modification and organ transplantation, for Joshua can only be regarded as daily life, similar to the next door neighbor's child with a pair of glasses, after all, in his original world, whose child has to go through several genetic corrections since he was a child? And the implantation of prostheses, the mechanical body, is only a part of life for the warrior, and everyone has the right to freely assemble body components and organ functions.

But isn't this kind of ethical concept that is too advanced for them? Isn't it time to change the public impression little by little in a few years?

Not really—Joshua didn't think so.

Neither Nostradamus nor the other McCrof researchers had turned a corner, and the modifications they were feeling uncomfortable with now had actually begun thousands of years ago, and were subtly altering the entire race.

Is there a difference between a so-called prosthetic person, and an alchemist who uses magic to construct to replace his own body? Even Barnier, doesn't he have a magic prop prosthetic eye? And bestiality, genetic modification, and even cloning, to put it bluntly, are not transplanting the internal organs of Warcraft, modifying one's own life form, and copying one's own body as a backup alchemist and magician? Not to mention anything else, Joshua knew that there was an alchemist in his exploration team who followed such a path.

And the synthesizer and will upload that made Nostradamus show obvious disgust, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than the lich's life box, the soul lich - in fact, his own soul can do similar things to this, it's nothing more than a different carrier, one uses magic and the other uses machinery, and they have advantages and disadvantages with each other, that's all.

The transcendents of the Microf world have already done these seemingly strange things, but the essence is actually exactly the same...... Because at the end of the day, everyone wants to move to the same thing, and that's the evolution of humanity itself.

The speed of natural evolution, even if it is accelerated by magical power, will be calculated in thousands of years, and in terms of human beings alone, their physique and extraordinary strength talents have not changed for tens of thousands of years - if they want to make a big change, it will take at least a few hundred thousand years, and when Mrs. Micro's entire race enters the void, then human beings should naturally evolve the ability to better adapt to the void, and there are more powerful extraordinary talents.

But at that time, the ashes of human civilization were probably covered with tropical rainforests, let alone any evolution...... The rate of change that occurs naturally is too slow, and as long as civilization exists, human beings will never stop transforming themselves, they will use various means to accelerate their evolution, strengthen the process, whether it is vaccines, antibodies, implantation of beings that create something similar to black fog like the Sanctuary civilization, or transform themselves into half-magical, semi-mechanical life.

Even the three transcendent power cultivation systems of magic, Dou Qi, and Holy Light can almost be seen as the path and process of human beings themselves gradually transforming and sublimating themselves.

The reason why Joshua wants to design the 'original body' is to try to use his own rich experience to directly create a transformation route that can be popularized to the vast majority of human beings without future troubles, and he wants to artificially accelerate this process and raise the starting foundation of human beings, so that all human beings have a certain amount of extraordinary strength as soon as they are born, and they have a 'silver race' with silver-level strength as soon as they become adults.

He wanted to do what should have happened over hundreds of years in one step – but now it seems that the step was too big to be frightening.

"It seems that these transformations can only be renamed and put into the enhanced exchange list...... Thinking about the perfect prototype of human beings, let's wait a few years. ”

The warrior thought so, but he was not particularly anxious, he knew that with the passage of time, the gradual attack of the demon tide and chaos, these meaningless fears would dissipate like smoke and dust, and at that time, human beings must sublimate and become stronger as soon as possible, and there will be no extra time and energy to think about superfluous problems.

"It's a bit excessive, but it's still wrong."

At the same time, after taking a slight look at the fourth practice room, Nostradamus couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "Joshua, if it's just exploring human body modification, it shouldn't make those researchers so scared - after all, they are all gold-level mages, so there's no reason to be so timid...... What else are you doing? Their expressions looked like you'd blow up the whole cavity. ”

"Probably because I caught a little Void Beast and uncut it."

Joshua said lightly, and he motioned for the terrified old mage to raise his head and look at the experimental table behind him.

There, on the steel plate shrouded in the mist of the hazy power of steel, there was a dark gray biological tissue that was constantly wriggling, twitching, and constantly generating all kinds of arthropods, mouthparts, and translucent cysts and flesh, although it had been cut open, it was still alive, and countless steel forces turned into probes and liquids, penetrating deep into this indescribable tissue to analyze its structure. And above the many tumors and bare ganglia, there are dense golden eyeballs that are squirming wildly - but these seemingly terrifying visual organs reveal an unusually frightened look.

'Help me! Nostradamus seemed to hear this.

"Some time ago, I went back to the periphery of the Xiboya World to take a look at the situation, and found that there were many small void beasts in the void there, so I grabbed one of them back - of course, this is only a part of the flesh and blood, and its body is still suppressed in my body, which is quite good."

Joshua stepped forward and patted the one who was squirming wildly, as if he wanted to split and spread, spread his body, and assimilate the flesh and blood of the Void Behemoth on the experimental table, the warrior looked at the other party as if he was in shock, and after suspending all actions, he continued to speak: "To be honest, I originally just wanted to see if the flesh and blood of the Void Behemoth could be transformed into some useful biological weapons, but in the end, I found a lot of interesting information. ”

"What's the message?"

Swallowing his saliva, Nostradamus stared at the flesh and blood of the Void Beast with gray eyes and seemed to have completely given up thinking, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be that it is related to the evil god?" ”

And Joshua nodded happily: "That's right." ”

"It's about the evil gods."
