Chapter 679: Preparations
Six Months.
Sam took Six months to work on the project and he only made some minor developments. The genetics of this world is much more complicated than he thought.
If only he had the wood elemental, it would have been more supportive. But this one genetic development helped him in many fields like inscriptions and formations. He made significant development in both fields.
Anyway, the current genetic project is actually related to the old friend he didn't meet since the beast faction.
It is nothing but the soul-devouring vines.
He met with this old friend and did all kinds of genetic experiments on it for days and months. He tried to use several other plants to graft, to add extra charges that would be sufficient for his own operation.
After hundreds of tries, he finally managed to find a match for this.
The match is also an insignificant plant without many abilities, it is neither a medicinal herb nor is a powerful vine or plant like the soul-devouring vines. It is a normal plant that reacts to the excess of spiritual energy in a place. It is in fact a flower that would grow faster as long as there is sufficient spiritual energy and spread faster than a virus.
He managed to create a cross between these two plants and achieved his desired results.
He finally came out of the divine dimension.
He has stayed in for almost five years which is six months outside. If not for the fact that he came out once in a while to have a meal made by Mackey occasionally. And in these six months Sam almost lost his sense of time as this is the first time, he spent so much time inside the tower.
But he slowly adjusted to it. Currently, he is inside the vast garden of the divine dimension, where the time flow is normal. He is in the dark element zone, where a formation was placed in which a large greyish-black vine is growing. Sam noted down some details and went to the other side where the vine was fully grown and there are some fully mature flowers with a lot of pollen in the middle.
Sam gently blew on the pollen and it spread through the air and landed on the floor nearby.
As the time of growth is accelerated, Sam could already see small sprouts forming on the ground. He smiled at this and came out of the divine dimension with a relaxed expression.
His main goal has reached.
Now he has to check on his friends at the moment.
Inside a specially constructed room near the school, there are several researchers working together. They are from different fields. They are looking at a large screen that is displaying the image inside.
Inside the room, the walls are full of runes and inscriptions and there are five humanoid silhouettes standing in the middle.
They are metallic humanoid structures with their backs attached with some chains whose other end is connected to the middle of the ceiling.
At this moment, Sam came and asked.
"How are the results?"
"They are currently showing good enough results, sir. Even though, the facility is newly built it is still working better than we thought. If it was used on Nascent stage cultivators, they will be a hundred percent successful.
Since we are working with Pre-transcendent stage cultivators it is dependent on their bodies a lot.
The effects are also decently permanent, but they have regular practice the resistance against the very element they had treatment with.
From what we can see, it does not only work for the death energy, we can also use other elements, we can even use fire, poison, lightning, and so on. This research is extremely valuable for the future development of the troops.
This will not only increase their resistance towards the said element if they are diligent enough they can have permanent resistance to a great extent."
The researcher went on rambling in excitement as he repeated the same things again and again.
Sam just let him speak as he observed the research result.
After an hour, the five humanoid structures moved his five companions came out of it.
Their skin has a bit of greyish hue as they came out of the room and greeted Sam upon seeing him.
Sam used his observation skill and tried to detect any harmful changes in their bodies and since there are not many significant harmful effects, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This is the new research project he started with these people. It is to create a method to make the people adapt to different environments.
Particularly to the environment of the death energy.
He started this project because of his friends. Last time, they couldn't come to the Naga Loka for the same reason. And this time the risk is higher as at least they could try to resist the Miasma on their own, but the death energy is whole another ball game.
So, he created this project so that their body can adapt to the death energy and stay resistant to it and it seems like his ideas and thought process was correct as the project was successful.
He left them to do their own tasks. There are still six months till the next Palace of inheritance and he has many things to do.
He took Chatur with him to ask about his own project. This guy was tasked with another project related to disguise techniques.
If they looked like normal humans they would be too attractive for the undead creatures, so he needs a proper disguise technique that masks their soul, their flesh, their scent, and their aura.
Even though Chatur's cultivation is low to fool too many high-class undead creatures, it is good enough to manage some Transcendent and even Consummate level cultivators.
After seeing that the research is going well, Sam left some more instructions and left the place.
He went to check the new Patent listings and if the rewards are going well. And finally, he went to meet the four dwarves.
At this moment, the four of them are in Mackey's restaurant along with some humans drinking and eating.
They seemed to have integrated with humans very well.
Even though, there is some discrimination from the students at the beginning. Most of the students of the school are orphans at least since these people are yet to awaken, they come into contact with the orphans and commoners the most.
The commoner children in the school are mostly children of the workers of the organization, so the initial discrimination disappeared soon.
The dwarves particularly impressed the people with their knowledge. Anything regarding the materials, mining, and forging along with wine, they have a lot of knowledge they would learn since they are two to three years old.
This is so much more compared to their peers and even some rank-4 artisans wouldn't be able to beat them in the contest of pure knowledge.
When the dwarves saw Sam, they stood up hurriedly and started serving food for him.
The rest of the students had similar reactions but not as intense as these people.
Most orphans and students adore Sam rather than fear him. They have a lot of respect along with adoration. Because in their hearts he is a completely good guy. He is more saintly than an actual saint.
They don't know the cold-blooded killer that massacred thousands of people. In fact, even somebody told them, they would only look at him in awe.
But dwarves are different, they looked at Sam in the war. That is how he was introduced to them, so it is a bit hard for them to stay cool in front of him.
Sam didn't put pressure on them by staying too long and just asked about how they are doing and how the school is treating them.
They are feeling extremely good and after confirming they are okay, Sam left the place and went to the new fields.
There are new fields near the city. They are created to grow the wheat Sam brought and the Ape finally has its own beer brewery.
He also went to the material research where they are working on new alloys and material combinations with the new material added from the Banished realm.
He even went to the shipbuilding area to see the current situation. The research is going well there too and there are many orders from both minor powers and the major powers.
They are extremely busy.
He finally checked with Sirona and this time, the situation is a bit different from the previous time. She directly attacked a gang of puppets.
Only after he destroyed a few after taking a significant beating did his plight stop.
When he asked what is wrong, she became extremely gloomy and said that it is for not to come here tp check on her results regularly. Sam felt a bit weird. He really felt like he should scout some really smart people from other realms. He cannot take it any time.
Anyway, after this, he left the place and went back to his building before making the final preparations and taking out the dimensional drifter.
He called for a few students who are studying metals and materials and took them to the Banished realm for the first step in the exchange program and he proceeded with the rest of his preparations to go to the Undead Realm.
He has to visit several places in the Naga Loka and the Banished realm to collect some things before going back to his home planet and taking his friends back.
