At the forefront of the crowd were Wang Yufei, the Minister of Dependents overseeing Blue Star affairs, and several Parasites who held high positions in the human world.

Seeing Zhou Qi descend, everyone bowed in unison, their movements synchronized as if rehearsed countless times, and a silent reverence permeated the air like a tangible presence.

"Dominator!"

Yuan Mei suppressed the tremor in his voice, his eyes gleaming with almost fanatical devotion. "Please follow me, the divine blood is ready!" He personally led the way, his steps quickened by excitement.

The group passed through a huge metal door that silently slid open on the inner side of the platform, entering a vast laboratory filled with soft white light and a comfortable temperature.

Here, technology and biology were perfectly fused: the walls were made of alloy flowing with energy runes, the domed ceiling simulated comfortable natural light, and various precise instruments with biological tissue characteristics operated silently.

In the center of the laboratory stood several large, transparent cultivation tanks filled with light blue energy liquid. Immersed within the tanks were various experimental subjects in a state of deep anesthesia—ferocious Ironblood Alpha Bugs, strong Lizardmen warriors, and even a colossal mutated beast.

Complex energy conduits and neural probes were connected to them.

Yuan Mei quickly walked to a control platform in the center of the laboratory, which was completely sealed by high-strength energy crystals and suspended in mid-air.

Inside the platform, three thirty-centimeter long, extremely precise injectors floated quietly.

The main body of the injectors was made of transparent high-molecular Materials, but the liquid flowing inside was the focal point—it was a viscous, almost solid, molten Golden Emperor-colored liquid, within which countless tiny, faintly golden crystalline dust seemed to slowly rotate, appearing and disappearing endlessly, as if condensed from stardust.

Just by observing it through the crystal barrier, one could feel the immense life energy and a… heart-stopping vitality contained within.

"Dominator, please look!"

Yuan Mei's voice rose with excitement, "This is Titan's Blood I! Its core mysteries lie in two points!"

He pointed his finger through the air at the light screen, and a huge holographic projection instantly lit up, displaying molecular-level dynamic models and data streams:

Stardust Inducer Core: "We have stripped and analyzed the secondary gene fragments generously bestowed by Golden Emperor, extracting a nano-scale composite factor called Stardust Inducer!"

The model zoomed in, showing the spectacular sight of countless golden particles embedding into the DNA double helix.

"They are like billions of precise keys, capable of forcibly inserting and activating the dormant, power-related ancient gene fragments in the recipient, brutally twisting open the shackles of evolution, like igniting a prairie fire in the genetic wasteland, forcing life to rush towards a higher Rank!"

Crystal Shell Gel Carrier: "The carrier is another miracle!"

The projection switched to an extremely complex, shimmering, space-rippling gel-like substance.

"It integrates the space stabilization anchoring technology deciphered from the wreckage of the giant ship in the lunar ruins, and the life essence purified from the Iron-Blooded Queen's life essence. This gel can not only form a miniature spatial barrier within the recipient's body, protecting the fragile inducer from breaking through cell walls and the immune System's strangulation, but also act as a superconductor!"

"It can directionally Guide and efficiently convert the energy burst during injection and the life energy stored by the recipient themselves, increasing the utilization rate to an astonishing 92%! This greatly reduces the risk of energy dissipation and recipient tissue collapse." Yuan Mei's eyes sparkled, "This is like building precise dikes and canals in a raging torrent!"

He brought up a startling set of comparison data: "After injection, the average increase in life strength of the experimental subjects consistently reached 18% - 28%! The side effect is that the strengthening process is accompanied by intense pain like the tearing of the Soul and a temporary energy runaway, but thanks to the protection of the 'crystal shell,' there have been no cases of structural collapse and death."

"Currently, the highest record: an Ironblood Alpha Bug with 47 points of life strength successfully achieved a Breakthrough to 52 points! Officially entering the Demigod Domain!"

Yuan Mei suddenly turned to Zhou Qi, his voice hoarse with excitement: "This means, great Dominator! We can strengthen our dependents in batches like forging weapons, allowing your Lizardmen army, Yi Serpent Person assassins, and assimilated Ironblood warriors to rapidly increase their strength in a short period! This will completely fill the huge gap in our core combat power!"

Zhou Qi's gaze, like a tangible probe, penetrated the crystal barrier and traversed through the molten-gold-like liquid.

He could clearly perceive the violent inducing factors and the exquisite gel structure.

Although this amount of energy was like a drop of water to him, the strategic blueprint Yuan Mei described was extremely valuable.

"Demonstrate."

Zhou Qi's voice remained calm, yet it carried an undeniable expectation.

Yuan Mei's spirits soared, and he almost roared, "Bring the volunteer! Prepare to inject Titan's Blood!"

Soon, two researchers led an elite Lizardmen warrior, covered in thick dark green scales and nearly three meters tall, to the center of the platform.

Its muscles were bulging, its eyes as sharp as knives, and the life strength detector showed 39.5.

It faced Zhou Qi, heavily pounded its right fist against its left chest, emitting a dull metallic clang, performing the most standard warrior's salute, its eyes filled with fanaticism and determination.

A researcher wearing a special protective suit, as if handling the highest Rank nuclear Materials, carefully took one of the Titan's Blood I injectors from the energy interface of the crystal operating platform.

The golden liquid slowly flowed in the special injection tube, emitting a faint glow as if alive.

The researcher loaded it into a complex, heavy injection gun that flashed with energy arcs.

The muzzle of the gun was as thick as a child's arm, glowing with the blue light of high-frequency energy accumulation.

Under the breathless gaze of everyone, the cold alloy muzzle of the injection gun steadily pressed against the thick neck artery area of the Lizardmen warrior, which was covered with hard scales.

Hiss—!

Driven by high-pressure gas mixed with energy pulses, the liquid, as viscous as molten gold, was forcefully injected into the warrior's body.

"Roar-awoooooo—!!!"

The moment the injection was completed, the warrior's roar did not come from its throat, but seemed to burst from the depths of every one of its cells.

It was a howl combining extreme pain, the ecstasy of rapidly surging power, and the terror of a tearing Soul.

Its body suddenly arched, as if struck in the spine by an invisible giant hammer.

All its muscles swelled and bulged wildly as if inflated! The tough dark green scales creaked and stood on end, stretched by the rapidly expanding muscles beneath.

Its skin instantly turned crimson and scalding, and steam erupted from the gaps in its scales and from its mouth and nose like a pressure cooker.

Its bones emitted dense cracking and snapping sounds like ten thousand cannons firing simultaneously, and its body visibly grew taller and thicker at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
