--- Chapter 446 ---
Yunlong and Gu Yuena went to the Shinobi World's Earth. They stopped by the ocean first to catch some sea beasts and then moved to the Land of Snow.
Gu Yuena landed on the snowy land and commented, "You're not joking when saying this land is similar to the Extreme North."
"Although the spirit beast and feeling weren't there, I can see the resemblance."
"Yeah. Xue Nu would love this place." Yunlong smiled a little while having a massive glob of seawater float behind him. Within the seawater prison are at least one hundred sea lives, which they randomly picked.
As they arrived at the Kazahana Castle, Gu Yuena stopped by the rooftop and felt an overwhelming Life Energy ahead. Her violet eyes widened in amazement because the concentrated Life Energy is similar to the Life Nectar from the God of Life.
"Yunlong, you're indeed lucky."
"This Hidden Veins of Life is probably created by Heaven and Earth's phenomenon over the years and condensed into such a state."
"It might be finite, unlike the Divinity of Life, but still precious."
Gu Yuena smiled beautifully and added, "The Life Energy is also the best energy for Spirit Beast's evolution because it's gentle and adheres to all lives."
"I'm surprised the native of this world didn't use this Life Energy."
Yunlong smiled and answered her confusion, "Because they focused too much on other energy. They combined Physical Energy from the body's cells and Spiritual Energy from the mind's consciousness into one, resulting in a weaponizing energy called Chakra."
"Chakra is the base for everything in this world. It's good enough if they could wield it."
"Of course, there are more variations of Chakra."
"It is weaker than Spirit Energy, though." Gu Yuena calmly pointed out the obvious. "Spirit Energy is the energy of Heaven and Earth born from the birthing universe."
"Not only Spirit Energy nourished Physical Strength and Spiritual Power, it could advance further into Immortal Qi/Divine Energy."
After roaming around the Land of Fire with Bibi Dong and Dong Chan, Gu Yuena noticed every native had Chakra in their body. However, not all of them could use it like not everyone could be Spirit Master.
At the very least, everyone in the Douluo Planet could cultivate because Yunlong has blessed the realm with his power. That shows just how much better Spirit Energy is.
Yunlong shook his head because Gu Yuena's words were on point, but he had to add something, "Even then, Chakra is actually a good start for building a foundation."
"Especially for Spirit Master, molding Chakra is like exercise to both physique and mind."
"Don't look down on their native cells. One of their strongest expert's cells here contained too much vitality. It became another means to cultivate resources for war."
"That's true..." Gu Yuena nodded in agreement.
"The Shinobi World's natives have a better start than the people with superpowers from Momo's world. Even though the latter has a unique power from their birth, their bodies have mutated due to evolving body's cells, and made it hard to absorb Spirit Energy."
"Is that so? I've never heard of this before." Yunlong was puzzled.
Gu Yuena giggled and continued, "It's because you were gone for three years."
"After your disappearance, we started finding problems with people you brought into the empire. They slowly lose their stability and immune system."
"It's not until that shady bald professor discovered Cell Stabilization Drug, that is."
"His name is Kyudai Garaki." Yunlong's mouth twitched.
"Please remember your ally's name, Yuena. He's quite an important asset."
"Anyway... The Cell Stabilization Drug allowed those people to cultivate without backlash and even caused a harmonized effect between their Quirk and Martial Soul."
"They called it Quirk Spirit Evolution. The chance of it happening is low, though. The only noteworthy one among the bunch is that Kaina Lass."
'Calling someone lass really exposes your age, Yuena.' Yunlong thought in amusement.
Gu Yuena suddenly gazed at Yunlong sharply, "Did you think bad about me?"
"I didn't." Yunlong lied brazenly.
"I felt like you're being mean to me for some reason."
'Well, a woman's intuition is scary. No, Yuena is no ordinary lady. She's a female dragon!'
Gu Yuena crossed her arms, "Actually... I might have found a good way of making those sea beasts into spirit beasts."
"Oh?" Yunlong was surprised.
"We can use Life Energy to mutate their cells." She smirked and felt proud of herself. "Then, we improved their bloodline."
"As long as their bodies could hold Spirit Energy, it's a success."
"Let's go!" Gu Yuena dragged Yunlong into the sealed Land of Spring.
"Woah, this place is not bad."
Upon their arrival, Gu Yuena was 'immediately' greeted by the scenery of sunny grassland. She breathed in and felt every pore of her body inhaling Life Energy greedily.
"Good place indeed, especially for training the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Technique."
They also come to see Kaguya, who sits on the rock and wipes her wet hair with the towel.
"You're back?" Kaguya glanced at Yunlong.
"Also, you..." She added to Gu Yuena's presence.
"You? Just that! How rude, I have a name, you know?"
"I know," Kaguya responded unsurely. "You're Gu Yuena."
Gu Yuena's eyelid twitched because it really took some time for this emotionless-looking woman to say her name.
"What's with that?" Kaguya changed the topic while pointing at the massive blob of seawater filled with sea creatures.
Yunlong explained his discovery to Kaguya, and her eyes lit up barely. It was hard to notice, but Yunlong did notice.
"Let me join this experiment," Kaguya said with slight excitement in her calm voice. "It might lead me to speed up my research on Kāma."
"Sure." Yunlong shrugged.
"The more, the better."
"But let's put them down first."
He used the God of Fantasy's power and conjured a massive fish tank that floated in the air. After that, he dunked the seawater and sea creatures in, adjusting them for them.
"What was that?" Gu Yuena was speechless.
"Did you just use another Divinity?"
Yunlong nodded and replied casually, "It's another Godhood that I condensed. The God of Fantasy."
"Amazing." Kaguya could feel Yunlong's new Godhood was slightly weaker than his God of Miracle's seat.
"..." Gu Yuena. To hell with her mate, he's becoming more and more monstrous.
Even though the Dragon God possessed multiple Divinities, they clashed with each other and played a card in his downfall. On the other hand, Yunlong's Divinities supported each other.
"I don't know anymore. Let's focus on the research!" The Silver Dragon Goddess huffed.
Yunlong could only smile helplessly at her reaction.
What's my fault this time?
Even then, Yunlong and Kaguya agreed with Gu Yuena.
They began to test the sea creatures' cells through various tests to see if they could mutate or evolve. They experienced many failures and made some necessary sacrifices.
Seconds after seconds.
Minutes after minutes.
And hours after hours.
"The cell lost vitality after three doses of Life Energy," Kaguya mumbled to herself. "These sea creatures' genetic structure isn't strong enough."
"That's why I said we must improve their bloodline first." Gu Yuena added with emphasis.
"Yuena is right. However, we must improve their DNA carefully because they might crumble later." Yunlong rubbed his chin.
They bantered back and forth, testing their ideas into motion until one specimen successfully evolved before their eyes.
Unknown to them, it's evening already.
Yunlong, Kaguya, and Gu Yuena gazed at the floating orb of water that held a crimson-colored jellyfish. The jellyfish look ordinary, but they could catch a familiar feeling.
A spirit beast!
[Name: None]
[Race: Spirit Beast(Genetically Modified)]
[Cultivation: 69 years]
[Description: A common red jellyfish that evolved into Spirit Beast after experiencing Genetic Modification. It has no real power yet because of the recent evolution]
"SUCCESS!" Yunlong and Gu Yuena grinned and slapped each other's hands in celebration.
Kaguya looked at their celebration and raised both her hands. Of course, Yunlong and Gu Yuena slapped them.
Gu Yuena proudly looked at the jellyfish and said, "We should turn the rest of these sea creatures into Spirit Beast."
"After that, we can continue to the difficult part."
"Transforming the jellyfish into a human, like how a 100,000-year-old spirit beast does without raising its cultivation too much."
"Then, we should also develop its intelligence." Kaguya chimed in.
"Without a working mind, an animal is just an animal."
Yunlong suddenly laughed, "Haha, that's easy."
"???" Gu Yuena and Kaguya tilted their heads in confusion.
"Let me introduce you to one of my broken skills." Yunlong playfully winked at them.
"Lord of Ability: Nathicaru!"
