Divisive Agent.
This is a new type of potion composed mainly of vortex worms, supplemented by some materials with similar concepts.
If the concept theory is valid, then this potion will give the Queen Bee the ability to split and create offspring.
This is crucial.
Regardless of whether the premise of division requires the replenishment of food or something else, it is a concept of material transformation.
Take the simplest example: if the Queen Bee can secrete bees after taking the potion, and this secretion requires the consumption of bodily fluids, then she only needs to replenish fluids to continuously produce bees.
This is equivalent to her transforming water into bees, which aligns with the concept of equivalent material transformation in alchemy.
Of course, these are secondary considerations. What Chen Ye truly desires is a biological factory.
Suppose a person can continuously split and create various things, then Chen Ye won't have to go through the trouble of finding materials.
Suppose a person can split and create new people, then Chen Ye can use them for experiments.
And suppose Chen Ye needs a large quantity of a certain material, and a person can continuously produce this material through eating, then Chen Ye can achieve self-sufficiency in the rear.
This is Chen Ye's envisioned biological factory.
And the Queen Bee's potion is precisely created by Chen Ye with the biological factory premise in mind.
However, the former obviously did not meet Chen Ye's requirements.
The Queen Bee doesn't know what Chen Ye is thinking.
As far as she can see, Lord Aus actually gave her a chance!
She thought Lord Aus would unquestionably erase her, but now it seems that Lord Aus is merciful.
In fact, generous!
Without hesitation, the Queen Bee drank the potion in one gulp!
"Thank you... for your grace."
Soon, the Queen Bee began her second evolution!
Her body convulsed for a moment, but like the previous time, there were not many visible changes on the surface of her body.
But a crack appeared on her chest.
This crack went straight to her heart, and her internal heart turned golden!
Then, a cavity formed in this crack, filled with viscous fluid, and many octagonal crystals began to condense in the fluid.
The Queen Bee tried to reach into the cavity in her chest, and then took out the octagonal crystal.
What is this?
The Queen Bee's brain began to work rapidly, and like before, she instantly understood her abilities.
This crystal is the Hive Crystal.
It has only one function, which is to create offspring.
And there are three types of these crystals.
One type is white, another is light yellow, and the last one is radiant gold.
The white one is the lower-grade crystal, which can transform life into obedient worker bees without any physical changes.
Similar to the worker bees created by the Queen Bee's liquid secretion, but the beings created from the crystal are not controlled mentally. Their consciousness is instantly killed and replaced with a new one.
The light yellow crystal is the intermediate-grade crystal, which can transform life into soldier bees.
Soldier bees not only obey commands but also possess strong combat abilities, with many insect-like features appearing on their bodies.
The gold crystal is the superior-grade crystal, which can transform life into guard bees.
These guard bees are extremely powerful, impervious to conventional weapons, and their abilities surpass those of soldier bees multiple times over.
Moreover, a new bone will grow in their arms, which can be protruded from the palm as a sharp spear-shaped weapon.
This spear-like weapon can be launched with great force, comparable to a siege crossbow.
However, once this bone is launched, the guard bee will immediately die.
In addition, guard bees also have the ability to fly, but they are extremely afraid of water. When in contact with water, their bodies will become completely immobilized.
The production of these three types of crystals consumes the Queen Bee's energy, which can only be replenished through eating.
The consumption of the first two crystals is relatively low, but the last one requires a significant amount of energy from the Queen Bee to produce.
Conservatively speaking, under the condition of eating a large amount every day, the Queen Bee can only produce one guard bee every three days.
The only advantage is that these crystals can be applied to animals.
However, animals have lower intelligence than humans, so controlling them requires more mental effort from the Queen Bee.
If she controls a certain number of them, the Queen Bee will have to spend most of her time sleeping, controlling the spiritual network of the creatures in her sleep, just like before.
To control these beings, her mind undergoes a considerable amount of strain.
However, these crystals have better effects than liquid transformation, and they impose less strain on the Queen Bee when applied to humans.
In other words, the Queen Bee can now control a larger number of offspring.
Especially the existence of guard bees is the most surprising to the Queen Bee.
Even numerous bullets would have difficulty killing a guard bee.
From this perspective alone, one guard bee can match a fully armed human squad.
Of course, this is on the condition that they avoid water.
The Queen Bee informed Chen Ye of her abilities after her second evolution.
Chen Ye shook his head after hearing it.
It's still not enough.
The Queen Bee can indeed generate materials herself now, but these materials are still used for transformation.
To achieve the hypothesis of a biological factory, it seems that further breakthroughs are needed.
Afterward, Chen Ye took several octagonal crystals from the Queen Bee and went back to study them.
...
The Queen Bee, on the other hand, collapsed on the ground. This feeling of surviving a catastrophe was something she experienced for the first time...
But this feeling of surviving a catastrophe was not brought about by those Nine-Tailed Fox soldiers.
This feeling of surviving a catastrophe came from Chen Ye!
"Phew..."
"The reason for this situation ultimately boils down to my inability to let go of everything I had before, and even wanting more money, more land, and greater authority."
"I thought these things could repay that person."
"But from the very beginning, that person didn't care about any of these. Money, power, if that person wanted them, he could easily obtain everything, so why would he need others to give it to him?"
Obviously, that person doesn't care about these things at all.
His gaze has long been set on heights that humans find difficult to reach, transcending life itself, with only one lifelong desire - to become a god.
The Queen Bee took a deep breath. If that's the case...
Then she will abandon everything she had before, focusing solely on assisting that person and helping him ascend to godhood!
"It's not that I must give up, but that I choose to do so."
The Queen Bee came to terms with it. Everything, whether it's money, power, or territory, is just clinging to surface appearances.
In this world, nothing belongs to her.
Even the house you bought, you only temporarily own it. After you die, who it belongs to is still uncertain.
Everything in the world is like this. Human life is limited, and we are just temporarily in this world.
Everything is temporary.
Only that person, holding the concept of eternity in his hands.
...
Chen Ye returned home and opened the cabinet.
"Hmm?"
"Why does it seem like a bottle of potion is missing?"
"Weird... Did I remember it wrong?"
"No, indeed a bottle is missing. The prototype for the Infiltrator is gone."
"I remember, I originally intended to give that bottle to 001, but it was missing one thing. Oh well, I'll think about it next time."
