[Experimental Item Name: Blood Calamity] [6th Experiment Record] [Experimental Subject: 001] [Attempting to fine-tune the attribute data of this human...] [...Adjustment complete. Genetics are stable. Naming this stable mutant lineage as 'Elf'] ...
[Experimental Subject: 024] [...Physiological structure reinforcement and moonlight sensitivity successfully implanted. Naming this stable mutant lineage as 'Werewolf'] ... ... ...
Look what we found here? The origin of species!
Elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls, and even goblins...
These intelligent races currently active in the world, possessing complex civilizations and souls, actually all point to the same starting point—Humans!
But the cases weren't entirely complete. At least Lin Jun didn't find any experimental information blocks regarding the Blood Kin (vampires).
Considering that nearly half of this subsidiary space had already fused with the world, the information blocks carrying the relevant data might have permanently disappeared in the spatial fusion.
These data with fixed formats were all left by the God of Light, and the traceable history of races like elves and dwarves dates back thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
In other words, this experiment had started a very, very long time ago.
This actually explained why, when looking through Lin Jun's [Inspiration] perspective, the souls of the various races were pretty much the same.
Simply put, the so-called demons, elves, and whatever in this world were essentially different breeds of goblins. No wonder there was basically no reproductive isolation.
What was more abstract was that the God of Light's image in Lin Jun's heart had completely changed.
From an unfathomable god to a cold, detached scientific researcher.
The Blood Calamity's experiments couldn't be called safe at all.
Looking at these experiment records, those early experiments with lower numbers were still minor adjustments, and the consequences of failure mostly manifested as attribute imbalances or functional decline.
But as the experiments went deeper and the alienation became increasingly radical, those failed experimental subjects didn't pass away peacefully at all.
Recalling the experiment records regarding the "Sunstone" in the subsidiary space of his own Dungeon No. 13, there was no lack of normal subjects being exposed to radiation, causing their minds to break down.
This deity's style of doing things indeed exuded a "mad scientist" vibe that disregarded ethics and only pursued results.
And that latecomer wasn't much better in this regard.
Moreover, his experimental direction was completely different from the God of Light's.
In the God of Light's experiment logs, "reproducibility" and "population stability" were recurring keywords.
His ultimate goal seemed to be creating entirely new intelligent races capable of self-continuation and constantly generating new souls—of course, it ultimately failed.
But that latecomer was more focused on creating individuals possessing certain extreme tendencies.
And his ultimate purpose for doing so was...
[...Through observation, it is confirmed that a specifically constructed physical body can significantly influence and even shape an individual's innate nature. Thus, it can be inferred that highly specialized individuals will be more prone to extremes, becoming carriers for corresponding Great Sins] [Regrettably, Great Sins often conform to and amplify the inherent desires and flaws of life, whereas Virtues mostly require restraining one's nature and going against the grain. Therefore, this guided path based on physical specialization is difficult to apply in cultivating individuals holding Virtues] [But this is already enough. After all, I don't need to obtain everything]
And he indeed achieved results—or rather, partial results.
Records showed he once used succubi, who inherently possessed extremely strong inclusion and adaptability, and elemental spirits with extremely high plasticity as "raw materials" to conduct a series of complex and dangerous fusion and directional mutation experiments.
Ultimately, a unique individual named "Na" was successfully created and, as expected, stably carried the title of [Lust], and was finally killed and seized by the experimenter.
Of course, there were more failures.
For example, the Chisi, which theoretically should have been able to obtain [Gluttony], but could never truly achieve it.
And for example, created for [Greed] and endowed with the characteristic of "Seize," but its actual effect fell completely short of the standard—the defective products, the Demon-kin.
This arrogant latecomer, was it the Demon King?
After all, "Demons were created by the Demon King" was common knowledge known to everyone on the continent.
And while the Demon King was still around, the artifact Blood Calamity was indeed held in his hands. The timing and conditions matched up.
The war race of Demons hand-crafted by the Demon King, tracing back to its source, was actually a failed experiment labeled as "defective products"?
This wasn't Lin Jun exaggerating the description; the original text of the information block described it exactly like this.
Of course, if purely looking from the harsh experimental goal of "whether it can successfully carry and obtain the corresponding Great Sin," this evaluation couldn't be said to be wrong.
That Slime Demon King, that thick-browed, big-eyed poser, was actually an arrogant mad scientist behind the scenes!
Of course, Lin Jun still had to affirm the Slime Demon King's efforts.
Whether it was the Shroom-kin (Mushroom variants of demons) or the Yellow Codex, or even his own Inanna who might have a little connection to [Lust], Lin Jun used them all very handily.
The only thing that made Lin Jun feel somewhat confused was, what was the Demon King's fundamental purpose in being so obsessed with gathering more Great Sins?
Looking at the records, it was just that Virtues couldn't be obtained this way; otherwise, the Demon King obviously would have wanted to get more Virtues too.
The abilities of Virtues and Great Sins were indeed very strong, but there were so many ways to become stronger, it didn't seem necessary to dive headfirst into this pit, right?
Not to mention anything else, an unranked skill like [Extreme of Sword] didn't feel like it would be much worse than Great Sins and Virtues.
Furthermore, could it be used just by seizing it?
That [Wrath] on Lin Jun's panel was still gray right now, no different from a trophy that could only be looked at.
If there was any method to utilize it, Lin Jun was quite interested to know.
Unfortunately, looking around, there were no relevant records in here.
The Demon King's records mentioned that he didn't need to obtain everything.
Obviously, he needed to use the obtained Virtues and Great Sins to do something, but what exactly was it? Repel the mist and save the world?
The Puchi withdrew. Next time he encountered the Demon King, he would try to ask before beating him up.
Seeing the Puchi appear, a defective product ran over with quick steps.
"Boss! I did it!" Ming's eyes sparkled, his tone somewhat hurried due to excitement. "Today in the arena, I single-handedly defeated a complete Diamond-rank four-person squad! The team even included two highly coordinated battle mages!"
Ming's daily arena battles were one of Lin Jun's daily entertainment programs. Lin Jun naturally already knew about his battle results today.
However, the Puchi still extended a tentacle, rubbing the head of this [Physical Immunity] guy, and praised him.
Hmph!
Truly too superficial, the development of the Demon-kin.
Can't even fully unearth the potential of the things created by oneself.
The so-called Demon King, is but so-so!
