These muscular and sturdy clones all floated in the red liquid inside the glass cabin, as though they were soaked in their mother’s fetus amniotic fluids. The expressions on their faces were filled with childish innocent and calmness, as though they were still in the womb and had not ‘arrived’ in this world yet.

　　However, the number of them which was thousands upon thousands truly caused his blood to run cold as his scalp felt numb.

　　Only the measuring instruments on top of the glass cabins displayed how extraordinary they were. All of them had vitality stats of 3.0. They were tall, muscular and filled with strength, resembling the incarnations of divinities of the Greek legends.

　　If it was one or two, it was still fine. But there were over thousands to tens of thousands of clones here, as many people as there would be in an army. If they were revealed to the public, this would simply be a calamity.

　　These were his thoughts of these clones being test subjects, but the instant such thoughts flitted across Feng Lin’s mind, he instantly marked an ‘x’ and shook his head.

　　Also, given how high the vitality stats of these clones were, it was clear that they were genetically modified and that it took large capital to create even a single one of them. It was impossible for them to be a ‘one-time usage’ human test subject.

　　There was only one possibility remaining!

　　An army of clones!

　　Feng Lin recalled what Luke had said in the past. But Luke didn’t manage to guess the answer completely.

　　It was true that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was building an army; however, what they were building wasn’t an ordinary army. Their true objective was producing clones, eventually forming an army of clones.

　　These clones who had a vitality stat of 3.0 were thirty times stronger than ordinary humans who only had a vitality stats of 0.1. Once enough of this clones was produced and an army was formed, they definitely wouldn’t be considered a weakling in this entire solar system.

　　This was different from the genetic artificially-created army of interstellar cultivators mentioned by Luke. Although these clones had fearsome vitality stats, they were still considered cultivation apprentices at most and had yet to reach the level of genetic cultivators. They could not be considered a genetic army.

　　But even so, it was already terrifying enough.

　　Forbidding clones was an interstellar convention agreed by all humans in the Interstellar Era. Not only must those Supreme Interstellar Empires obey this, but even those chaotic little countries and Chaotic Star Regions had to obey as well.

　　Because once clones began to be produced uncheck, it might violate the tenets of humanity and caused the genes of humanity to be weakened and in disorder. After a long time, purebred humans might face the danger of extinction. Hence, for the sake of humanity’s future and to avoid all potential damage this would have caused, the Interstellar Era humans all came to an agreement to form this interstellar convention.

　　If a country was to secretly produce clones, once this fact was known, that country would immediately become the public enemy of all of humanity. Despite how vast the galaxy was, there would be no place for them to establish themselves in.

　　…

　　Feng Lin’s heart was filled with shock. He didn’t expect the guts of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company to be this big. They actually defied the interstellar convention. What are they planning to do exactly?

　　The waves in his heart turned to an ocean, yet his expression was still as calm as ever, not revealing the slightest inkling of what he was thinking about.

　　At this moment, Frank walked over and spoke in a tone of consideration. “Seems like you can already tell that these are clones. Do you know what they are going to be used for?”

　　“Are they going to be used for experiments?” Feng Lin hesitated for a moment before he spoke. He understood the value of pretending to be foolish at times.

　　“You are still too young!” Frank laughed. “Clones are genetically engineered beings. From the time they were fertilized, genetic modifications are already made. They have long lost the pureness of their original genes. If you wish to do experiments, the effects of using ordinary humans that have not undergone any genetic modifications to their genes would undoubtedly be better choices. Since you are now already a core member of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company, there’s no need to hide things from you. In any case, you would know about this sooner or later. I will tell you the truth now. All you see here are going to become our army!”

　　“An army of clones?!” Feng Lin acted like he had just discovered this and shouted in agitation. After that, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. “But aren’t clones forbidden by the interstellar convention? If we do this and even assemble them into an army, wouldn’t we be condemned by all humans of the Interstellar Era?”

　　He pretended to be a newbie who didn’t know anything and had a face filled with the expressions of shock and amazement.

　　Frank nodded. He was very satisfied with Feng Lin’s reactions. He then spoke in a casual tone, “Things such as laws are merely made for ordinary people to see. Although clones are forbidden, in truth, all the big financial groups in the galaxy are secretly producing them. As to why we are forming an army, it is because the solar system is considered a Chaotic Star Region. Our Giant Pharmaceutical Company is a big business, and this is why we need a powerful army to protect our safety!”

　　Is he trying to fool a child?

　　Feng Lin laughed coldly in his heart, but a serious look was on his face as he nodded heavily in understanding.

　　From the start until now, Frank still didn’t discover any flaws in Feng Lin’s expression. Only then did he finally let the last bit of wariness in his heart fade away.

　　“But does this have something to do with my research topic?” Feng Lin asked in a puzzled tone.

　　Frank smiled mysteriously, “Come with me!”

　　Feng Lin followed behind Frank and walked among these clones.

　　Class cabins were everywhere, resembling pillars that stood erect. The clones in them seemed like guards, and the atmosphere had an eerie feeling to it.

　　After moving into the depths, Feng Lin quickly discovered a group of white-robed figures moving around the clones as they paid close observation to them, recording notes every now and then as though they were analyzing something.

　　Feng Lin silently pondered. It seemed like his earlier speculations were right. This place was an underground laboratory.

　　But what made him feel strange was that the researchers here all had blonde hair and blue eyes. They were all purebred caucasians.

　　When was it that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company only recruited people from the White Race?

　　Feng Lin felt extremely puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask such a question and could only bury his curiosity in his heart.

　　“Feng Lin, in the future, these are all going to be your taskforce members!” Frank pointed to the caucasians as he introduced.

　　“What?” Feng Lin was extremely surprised.

　　“These are the true technical elites of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company, and these people are the same as you, true geniuses whom we specially recruited. All of them are specialists in the domain of genetic theory and now, I’m prepared to pass them to you. They shall be your subordinates as you focus on perfecting the Crystallization Medicine Creation Art. This new path of thinking has a much higher probability of success compared to any of the old methods we tried. Once there are results, they might be the answer to solving the research topic, then we would be able to break the genetic secrets of the ancient divine medicine and create genetic potions that can be consumed by ordinary people.” Frank smiled.

　　Feng Lin nodded and stared at these people as he felt an extremely strange feeling.

　　So it turned out that these people were all genetic geniuses recruited by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. So, all of them were sent here to the underground laboratory to work. No wonder the Mars Revolutionary Army couldn’t find any trace of them and thought that they were missing.

　　In that case, this Giant Pharmaceutical Company shouldn’t be as dangerous as what the Mars Revolutionary Army had said.

　　However, Feng Lin instantly felt that something was wrong. This group of caucasians was simply too weird.

　　Could it be that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had only recruited caucasians? If that was the case, why did they recruit him then?

　　For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine that eventually spread around his body. From the inside to the outside, Feng Lin’s entire body was ice-cold

　　Compared to Feng Lin, these caucasians were all extremely bewildered. They had a strange look on their faces when they looked at Feng Lin.

　　“So this is the person who is going to be our leader?”

　　“How did a brat manage to suddenly climb up to the position of a taskforce leader?”

　　“Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique? What nonsense is this?”

　　…

　　These people mumbled to each other, sizing up Feng Lin as looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.

　　Feng Lin calmly took in everything.

　　At this moment, a middle-aged caucasian, who was slightly plump but actually was sporting the moon-style hairstyle from Japan, walked in front. The top of his head was bald, but there was hair at the sides. The hair on the back was tied up into a bun, causing this man to look somewhat strange and comical.

　　He came over, nodding and putting with his hands on his waist. “Manager, how can this brat become our taskforce leader? Also, he is a chinese from the Yellow Race! What capabilities does he have?”

　　Frank’s countenance instantly turned solemn. “Matsushita Onijin, I hope that you won’t doubt my decision. Feng Lin has already deciphered a part of the ancient divine medicine’s secrets and had even created the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique, although it’s just the initial stage of it. This is why I want all of you to be his subordinates and aid him with all your efforts to perfect this technique! I don’t care who it is, but if anyone dares to oppose Feng Lin, be it openly or secretly, those people will all be fired!”

　　“How can this be possible?” These researchers didn’t dare to believe. The ancient divine medicine was full of mysteries. So many geniuses had tried and failed to crack any of the secrets, but this brat actually succeeded?”

　　But since Frank had personally spoken, they didn’t dare to not believe it.

　　Frank was speaking the truth. He used his id microchip to play a projection of the scenes that happened then for these researchers to see.

　　After they saw it, they no longer had any comments and was completely won over, silently in agreement with the truth that Feng Lin would become their leader.

　　“Feng-San, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you, please accept my apologies.” That person named Matsushita Onijin came before Feng Lin and bowed deeply to him, expressing his apology.

　　Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed. No matter how he looked, this caucasian before his eyes had traces of the Japanese everywhere. But why did he have blonde hair and blue eyes? This was simply too bizarre.

　　However, he still smiled on the surface. “Matsushita Onijin, there’s no need to be so polite. We are all going to be colleagues in the future, please guide me along!”

　　“Hai!” Matsushita Onijin straightened his back and respectfully spoke.

　　“What should I do next?” Feng Lin asked.

　　“Do you know why our company is called the Giant Pharmaceutical Company?” Frank answered his question with another question.

　　Feng Lin shook his head. He felt that the greatest truth hidden by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was about to be revealed to him.

　　Frank smiled. “This is because we have completely mastered one of the mythological paths to becoming a giant. All our efforts in research are because we wish to develop genetic potions that can allow ordinary humans to awaken the Giant Gene in them. We hope to create giants of different grades that are interstellar cultivators!”

　　After speaking, he took out a potion that was green and amber in color. This potion gave off a blazing aura of wild violence.

　　“This is a low-martial tier, high-grade Green Giant Genetic Potion! Your mission is to crystalize these potions, allowing ordinary people to consume them. At that time, we would be considered to have granted fortune to all humanity in the Interstellar Era, allowing all of them to awaken the Green Giant Gene. If you can succeed, I’ll authorize you to have a slot in the Divine Blood Ritual, allowing you to be transformed into a child of god. You will then enjoy an extremely long natural life, and your vitality stat will skyrocket! At that time, you will be considered one of us, becoming the upper echelons of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company and even gaining a precious opportunity to enter our headquarters in the interstellar world to cultivate.”

　　“Divine blood ritual? Child of god?!” Feng Lin cried out involuntarily in shock.

　　“That’s right.” Frank smiled. “This is a type of ritual that can transform your genes, replacing your bloodline and genetic makeup, allowing you to become a child of god!”

　　“Can it be that they all are…” Feng Lin involuntarily glanced toward these researchers of the White Race. Clearly, their appearances, body shape, and mannerisms were of people belonging to different ethnicities, yet all of them had white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

　　“That’s correct! They have already become children of god through the Divine Blood Ritual. Having white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes is one of the greatest characteristics of a child of god. However, there are naturally far better changes.” Frank spoke with excitement.

　　Feng Lin stood there, feeling a chill in and out. His heart sank right to the bottom of the valley.
