No one noticed the little mermaid’s reaction in the sink, because everyone’s attention was on the lifeblood culturing tank in the center of the hall.

When Zorm connected its mind to the brain and released the control signal with the brain as the converter, the red liquid in the culturing tank suddenly calmed down and without even one single ripple. The state of calm was more like suddenly inactivated than being controlled. Lily curiously leaned on the railing, looked down and asked, “Why do I feel this is not right… Is this what happens when the lifeblood is under control?”

“No sense of life,” Muru said and frowned. He leaned over to examine the situation in the tank and said, “It’s abnormally calm… It’s like being suppressed or inactivated. Zorm, you did it?”

“I don’t know what’s going on.” Zorm’s voice came from the air. “I just connected to the brain, haven’t released signal yet.”

Hao Ren turned and tried to adjust the equipment on the operating table. Of course, he did not really understand the principles of these things, but he could roughly read the reports. “There seems to be something wrong. There’s a strong inhibition signal in the lab that blocks the connection between the brain and the lifeblood. The activity of the lifeblood itself is also suppressed.”

Lil Pea was still leaning motionless on the wall of the crystal sink, looking at the direction of the lifeblood culturing tank. Because of the angle, her sight was actually blocked by the floor of the annular platform, so she could not see anything, but something made her curious about that direction. However, the little kid’s curiosity always did not last long. After discovering that there was only a floor in that direction, Lil Pea lost interest and went back to the bottom to sleep.

Hao Ren was working on each device in the lab to see which inhibition device was not turned off. At this point, however, the connection between the brain and the lifeblood was suddenly restored.

The red liquid in the culturing tank was rumbling and began to flow slowly in the tank again. The red rays released from the surface of the brain on the rim of the annular platform echoed the flowing frequency of the lifeblood, and the light streams connected to the brain continued to operate smoothly. The crystal prism also began to refresh the mental signal readings of Zorm quickly.

“Oh oh, it seems to be working!” Zorm yelled happily, “I can feel my spirit is filling this place. The lifeblood is easy to control, just like the one I used before!”

“Cool.” Muru congratulated Zorm, then turned to look at Hao Ren, who was standing on the platform and asked, “What happened just now?”

“It may be that the connection between Zorm and the brain was not enough at first, so several inhibition devices continued to function after sign of violence was detected in the lifeblood,” Hao Ren said while scratching his head, “the equipment in this place is very complicated, and they are all magical devices, I don’t fully understand.”

Vivian stood on tiptoe to look at the lifeblood culturing tank below the platform and then looked at the brain not far away and said, “Anyway, it looks normal now.”

Muru glanced at Hao Ren with a strange expression and said, “How could such a large space station be managed by someone like you?”

“Highly intelligent devices are like this,” Lily tried to explain. She then looked excitedly at the lifeblood pool below and asked, “Can you try to create life now? Can you make something out of it? Let’s start?”

“Yes, what do you want?” Zorm replied briskly.

Lily thought for a while then said, “How about a Bahamut? Or Leviathan… Woohoo!”

Hao Ren covered Lily’s mouth, dragged her aside and said, “You stay here. Zorm, don’t listen to her. Let’s start by assembling a single cell and then assemble the multicellular organisms that can live on Tannagost.”

A strange bubbling sound came from the lifeblood culturing tank. Zorm was trying to control these primitive life matters, though it was a little rusty, and began to create those lives in its memories.

In the next few days, everything was going smoothly.

Using the factory inside Petrachelys and the assembly workshop in the Crapple Research Station, Hao Ren gradually realized those plans in his mind.

A newly built facility had emerged in the direction of Tannagost. It looked like a weird beetle, clinging to the outer layer of the Crapple space station. The facility, like the rest of the research station, was made of crystals, and its translucent dome allowed people to get a glimpse of the interior, which was filled with the breath of life in bright red. In this facility, the reconstructed left and right brains were sealed inside. They were immersed in the lifeblood and were fixed in the middle of the facility by a large number of pipes and light streams. The whole structure looked like a peculiar ruby, with two scarlet cores shining inside.

Zorm’s will was connected to the brain through those light streams, which, after a complex conversion, became signals that could interfere with the real world. This ruby-like facility had a large, high-power broadcast antenna on its surface which amplified the brain’s signals and then broadcasted it toward Tannagost.

This facility was named ‘Capulum Vitae’ by Lily. Although her overly creative mind always surprised them, they had to admit that the name she created had the highest level of all.

On the surface of Tannagost, the signals reception and broadcasting system were gradually in place.

The main body of the system was the antenna arrays that were built long ago. These arrays had been used to dispel the Vengeful Spirits on the planet. Now the spirits have returned to the energy cycle, and the antenna arrays that completed the mission were transformed into a transmitter capable of broadcasting the will of the Firstborn. They were essentially sophisticated and high-power electromagnetic broadcast towers and their newly loaded programs were also created based on the research results of the Firstborn, which simulated the nerve impulses of the tentacles of Firstborn.

Through this system, Zorm’s will finally get rid of the constraints of the mainframe. Not only would it be able to reach the real world smoothly, but also allow its will to cover the entire planet.

When Tannagost and Crapple Research Station welcomed the splendid sunrise, Hao Ren ordered the research station to put some lifeblood vessels on the surface of Tannagost.

He was standing on the upper deck of Petrachelys and watching this scene. As the sun rose from the horizon of Tannagost and the entire research station was bathed in gold, a part of the Crapple Research Station opened silently. Dozens of ellipsoidal crystal containers flew out slowly from the ejection port, dragging a long, gorgeous glow behind them to the surface of the planet. Those crystal containers were sparkling with scarlet luster. They took away 90% of the lifeblood stock from the research station, but soon more lifeblood would proliferate on the surface of the planet.

There was plenty of nutrition and a more reasonable growth signal stimulation from the Firstborn. A new biosphere would awaken from the lifeblood, and it would not take long.

“It will take hundreds of millions of years if we’re taking the normal evolutionary route, but with a blueprint, a lot of things can be created directly, as long as we have a reasonable plan to match these species.”

Muru’s voice came from the communicator of the spacecraft, they could saw him on the holographic projection. Behind Muru was not the background of the Crapple Research station, but the pale golden steep mountains. The shadow of Alamanda, the City of Gold could roughly be seen at the foot of the mountains.

The giant was not in the space station. Hao Ren asked him to go to the surface of the planet to help Zorm complete the ‘sowing’, and also sent him some autonomous robots and arcane servants as his assistant. There was no madness and hatred on Muru’s face. He was standing on the land that was about to be reborn, with a peaceful expression on his face.

Everything was going on as Hao Ren expected: The gardener had returned to his work, and there was no better way to bring back his peace.

“The new biosphere won’t affect the existing life of Tannagost, will it?” Hao Ren worried about it, wanted to confirm again.

“Rest assured, Zorm and I have made an accurate design of the biosphere, and species from two planets will coexist well. We want to make everything reborn, not eliminating one of them.”

Hao Ren nodded and said, “That’s good. Then it’s time for us to go back. Hopefully, the next time we come, we will see a vibrant planet.”

“You can expect it,” Muru smiled and said.
