After leaving the room, Di Tian could faintly hear a huge collision sound coming from inside…
Although he wanted to push the door open and go in, he gave up the idea…
Artificial soul beasts couldn't reproduce on their own, which was an even bigger blow to Gu Yuena than the last time!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Ah... I wonder if our lord can pull themselves together!"
Just then, Bi Ji, who happened to witness the scene, walked over…
Frowning, she asked, "Di Tian, what's wrong? Did you make the lord angry again?"
It wasn't easy to eliminate the estrangement, so there mustn't be any new conflicts!
Snapping back to reality, Di Tian denied, "Bi Ji, don't talk nonsense, this time it has nothing to do with me!"
Although Bi Ji was somewhat dubious, she pressed on, "Then what is it?"
At her question, Di Tian handed over the previous data. "Bi Ji, take a look at this, and you should understand!"
After receiving it, she scanned the content only to find that she couldn't understand it at all…
"Do these data have any special significance?"
She wasn't skilled in these matters, so she couldn't see any clues!
Suddenly remembering something, Di Tian explained, "Oh right, I almost forgot that you, like me, don't have much concept of these data!"
"According to our lord, most of the data from the artificial soul beasts we released into the soul beast forest is indistinguishable from ordinary soul beasts!"
"It's just that they lack the ability to reproduce on their own!"
Bi Ji immediately had an epiphany, "I see, artificial soul beasts cannot reproduce? That's a devastating blow to the entire plan!"
"No wonder the lord feels disappointed…"
Being a ferocious beast herself, she naturally understood how crucial the ability to reproduce was for the Soul Beast Clan!
Di Tian nodded affirmatively, then suggested, "Bi Ji, why don't you go in and persuade our lord? I'm a bit worried about her…"
After much thought, Bi Ji still rejected the suggestion…
"Better not, if I go in now, I might upset the lord even more. Let's wait for her to calm down before we talk!"
Di Tian pursed his lips, also giving up…
"If that's the case… then there's nothing we can do!"
Bi Ji, not wanting to continue the discussion, hurried him, "Alright, Di Tian, before our lord adjusts her mood, take care of the Spirit Pagoda's affairs!"
"I'm off to the research center now to see if those researchers can figure out how to restore the reproductive capability of artificial soul beasts!!"
Di Tian naturally didn't refuse. "Hm, I'll leave it to you then. If we can solve this problem, our lord will surely be able to recover!"
...
Not long after, Bi Ji, having left, arrived outside the Spirit Pagoda's research center…
Upon her arrival, the Spirit Pagoda members guarding the place greeted her with respectful tones, "Councilor Bi Ji!!"
Bi Ji asked perfunctorily, "Has there been any suspicious personnel recently?"
Seeing this, they immediately saluted, "Replying to Councilor Bi Ji, apart from you, only Councilor Di Tian and the Pagoda Master have entered this place!"
Bi Ji nodded slightly, "Good, remember not to let any suspicious individuals slip through!"
Then, she stepped past them and entered the research center…
As usual, her eyes met the researchers in White Robes, constantly running tests in front of their equipment…
From their expressions, it was obvious that they were very hasty…
However, Bi Ji had no choice but to interrupt their actions...
"Everyone, stop what you're doing right now!"
As soon as her voice rang out, all the scientific researchers quickly ceased their work and turned their gaze towards her...
Once they realized it was Bi Ji, they all revealed a hint of confusion...
Bi Ji also glanced over each one of them before speaking again, "According to the information we've obtained, the Artificial Spirit Beasts released into the soul beast forest are in most data indistinguishable from real soul beasts. One could say, we have achieved preliminary success!"
"Suc...success? Doesn't that mean we can really bring soul beasts back into the world?"
"Hahahahaha, that's great, it's worth all the effort we've put into research every day, we deserve this outcome!"
"Yes, once the technology of Artificial Spirit Beasts is perfected, humans and soul beasts can coexist harmoniously!!"
"Councilor Bi Ji, now that we've achieved preliminary success, can we take a few days off to properly celebrate?"
Hearing these cheers, Bi Ji's expression didn't change one bit, but just silently watched...
Noticing this, the researchers gradually calmed down from their excited state...
They felt that something was off!
Despite the success, there was not a hint of a smile on Councilor Bi Ji's face...
Sure enough, to confirm their suspicions, Bi Ji once again spoke up, "Although we have achieved preliminary success, at the same time, we have encountered a very thorny problem!"
"One could even say, the biggest problem!"
This statement made the researchers look at each other in confusion, and they immediately began to ask...
"Councilor Bi Ji, could you please explain in detail?"
"Indeed, if we've even recreated soul beasts, what difficulties could we possibly encounter now?"
"The 'biggest difficulty,' that sounds strange, haven't we already succeeded?"
Bi Ji pursed her lips and continued, "It's true that we have achieved preliminary success, but the Artificial Spirit Beasts still have significant flaws!"
"That is, they lack the ability to reproduce!!"
The researchers were instantly dumbfounded...
This situation was completely unexpected...
"Huh? They lack the ability to reproduce? How is that possible, those soul beasts are almost identical to real soul beasts!"
"Sss...reproductive capability? This is an issue we seem to have never considered!"
"Is this...important? As long as we have the technology to create Artificial Spirit Beasts, can't we produce as many as we want? Why do they need the ability to reproduce?"
"I understand now! If they lack the ability to reproduce, then Artificial Spirit Beasts are still flawed and cannot be considered on par with real soul beasts!!"
"Exactly, I remember the Pagoda Master's goal was to resurrect the Soul Beast Clan, but without reproductive capability, soul beasts will ultimately go extinct, it's just a matter of time!"
Bi Ji nodded in agreement, "That's correct, as you all have said!"
"Without reproductive capability, Artificial Spirit Beasts cannot be called soul beasts!"
"So, in the time to come, you all need to dedicate all your effort to overcoming this challenge and endow the Artificial Spirit Beasts with the ability to reproduce!"
"Once successful, the Spirit Pagoda promises to grant you endless wealth and resources!!"
For now, all hopes were pinned on these people!
