Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1262 Courage is commendable

"You'll see later," Ye Ge said. "Because time is tight, so... um... let's just get one million sets for now, and we'll see if we need more later."

Long Ying: "......"

Looking at Long Ying's expression, Ye Ge smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the industrial level of the Human Empire today is not what it was ten years ago. Don't always use the standards from when your foolish old man was still in power to judge the present."

“…Alright.” Long Ying sighed, “Then I’ll try my best to arrange for people to build it.”

......

The headquarters of the gene company.

Sima Qing sat leisurely behind his large desk, slowly savoring his fragrant tea.

He just returned to headquarters today.

The black sword stood before him, gazing at him with a complex expression: "I never imagined you were actually Sima Qing, the descendant of the Taotie tribe who launched the war against the ferocious beasts over a hundred years ago..."

Since the Moon Eye incident, the news of the true identity of the chairman of the gene company has spread like wildfire, and all the forces among the myriad races with even a little intelligence capability know this secret.

"Heh..." Sima Qing gently placed the teacup on the table, raised her eyes to look him up and down, "Why did you come back to find me again?"

"..." Black Sword gritted his teeth: "I'm going to kill Night Song! He ruined all my plans of the past three hundred years, he destroyed all my hard work... I must kill him to avenge him!"

"Your entire army of the Netherworld Clan has been wiped out." Sima Qing glanced at him indifferently. "You yourself were severely injured in that disaster, and in order to avoid the explosion of the Heavenly Star, you burned away most of your cultivation with your spatial abilities. So what value can you bring me now if I still need you as a subordinate?"

“I know your gene company specializes in cell transplantation and gene modification,” Black Sword said in a deep voice. “Our Evil Nether Clan is originally a hybrid of ancient demons and ferocious beasts. I have some ancient ferocious beast blood in me. I think it should be no problem for me to accept your company’s gene modification.”

"..." Sima Qing stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and his eyes lit up with a hint of interest.

"You want to transplant cells from a ferocious beast?" Sima Qing smiled enigmatically. "Heh, you certainly have courage."

"As long as we can kill him, none of this matters." Black Sword clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Three hundred years... You endured hardship for over three hundred years, finally got your chance, and then you just turned to ashes with a single sound. How does that feel?"

Sima Qing: "Heh..."

Just then, Carl walked in from outside: "Chairman."

"You're back." Sima Qing looked up, his tone calm. "Have you investigated thoroughly? What exactly happened in the human territory last night?"

“Yes.” Carl placed a folder on the chairman’s desk.

"According to the real information sent back by the company's informants, a tremendous event did indeed occur in the human territory last night."

Carlton paused, then continued, "First of all, Ye Ge, it seems he has broken through to the Soul Emperor realm."

Sima Qing remained silent.

He wasn't too surprised by the result.

"What?!?"

Black Sword, standing beside him, was completely incredulous, his eyes wide: "That Ye Ge, didn't he just break through to the peak of the Saint Realm not long ago? How could he have broken through to the Soul Emperor Realm in such a short time?!"

Sima Qing said calmly, "If you had investigated Ye Ge's upgrade speed over the past few years, you probably wouldn't be so surprised."

"..."

Black Sword bit his lip, speechless, but his face still showed disbelief and inability to accept it.

Without a doubt, with Ye Ge breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm and his strength increasing once again, his chances of successfully taking revenge have become even slimmer!

Sima Qing then looked at Karl: "But what happened last night must have been more than just that, right?"

Last night, many company informants saw that amazing sight outside the Human Great Wall.

At least a dozen beams of light rose up within the human territory!

Moreover, the entire phenomenon almost covered the entire human land!

“Yes, not only, far more than that.” Carlton paused. “Chairman, you’d better be prepared, because what I’m about to say might even seem unbelievable to you.”

Sima Qing's eyes darkened, and he said, "Speak."

“It seems that Ye Ge was not the only one in the human realm to break through to the Soul Emperor realm last night,” Karl said. “The phenomena that occurred after Ye Ge’s breakthrough seemed to cover the entire human land. Immediately afterward, countless breakthroughs and awakenings appeared in the human realm. Many people broke through their own levels, some even rising several levels at once. There were even some ordinary people who were not superhumans who awakened superhuman talents after last night.”

Sima Qing remained seated firmly behind his desk, but his pupils contracted slightly: "Are you telling the truth? Is the information reliable?"

"Almost all of the company's spies planted in the Ye family have been secretly removed by Ye Ge's mother, Zhou Yuqing."

Karl said slowly, "But the commotion last night was too great; the Night Family couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. Many of the company's lower-level human employees live in Kyoto. They witnessed the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, and saw people around them and passersby on the street awakening and leveling up. There was also a group of people cheering Night Song's name in the street. Therefore, this information should be true."

"Moreover, among the awakened breakthroughs... there should be several who, like Ye Ge, have broken through to the Soul Emperor realm."

Sima Qing: "Soul Emperor Realm experts? Several?? You mean, overnight, several new Soul Emperor Realm experts appeared among the human race?"

"Judging from the pillars of light appearing in the sky, there should be at least a dozen of them," Karl said. "However, it's also possible that they aren't Soul Emperor level transcendents, but rather level eleven apostles."

"An apostle?" Sima Qing frowned.

“Yes,” Karl said. “Because some employees have seen that many people, after awakening, exude magic power, not soul power.”

"And their faith... is very likely to be Night Song."
