“Green Ivy, huh…”

After the Crimson Queen finished speaking, the Dream Source also muttered to herself.

The words “Green Ivy” faintly stirred the memories within the Dream Source, memories that were linked to the Flame Heart.

So, the Dream Source suddenly spoke,

“Crimson, do you still remember who designed and built you and this research institute?”

“I remember,” the Crimson Queen replied calmly, “It’s you, Lord Flame Heart, the last emperor of the Flame Clan.”

The Dream Source said, “Now you should call me Dream Source… Heh, but this is not important. Then do you still remember the purpose for which this research institute was established?”

“I remember,” the Crimson Queen continued, “In order to find another path to godhood!”

“That’s right…” the Dream Source sighed,” In order to find another path to godhood.”

At that time, the Flame Clan had been defeated and six of the seven gods had fallen, leaving only the Jing God and the remnants of the Flame Clan who had retreated into the ruins.

The Jing God was seriously injured, and the resources within the ruin were also limited.

And the external enemies continued to hound them.

Although those enemies were afraid that the Jing God would perish together with them and did not dare to exterminate the Flame Clan, they made numerous attempts.

“The enemy of a god can only be a god.”

“And the lifespan of a god is endless.”

Because of this, to the entire Flame Clan, their enemies practically existed forever!

In the generation where Flame Heart succeeded the throne, the Flame Clan was almost forced into a desperate situation.

“To the gods, the Flame Clan Ruin was not that hidden.”

“Many people want to exterminate the bloodline of our Flame Clan. Ever since Ancestor Jing God fell asleep, they have tested him countless times. As long as they find out that Ancestor Jing God’s condition is not good, the day of the Flame Clan’s extinction will arrive!”

With a situation like this, the Flame Clan had no choice but to seek change.

And there was only one way to resist an enemy at the Divine Spirit Realm become a god!

However, the Flame Clan was blocked in the ruin and could not reach the Holy Tower to participate in the Heaven Ascension Stairs ceremony.

Therefore, there was only one path left for the Flame Clan!

“To find a way to become a god without ascending to the heavens.”

After saying this, the Flame Heart paused for a moment and said, “Or rather, it’s not a way to become a god, but a way to obtain power that could rival the gods.”

In the Black Mist Zone, there was only one common path to transcendence- the Source Power System.

At the pinnacle of the Source Power system were the gods themselves.

Therefore, to gain power that was not godlike but could rival the gods, there was only one path: to research a new system of transcendence!

In due course, Flame Heart, who had just ascended to the throne, informed the still-conscious Jing God of this plan and obtained his approval.

Thus, the First Research Institute was born.

“As for Green Ivy, or rather, all the projects from No. 5 and above, were created under these premises.”

Looking at the screen, the gaze of the Dream Source was especially deep.

“Although it’s just a failed product, Green Ivy’s strength is equivalent to a Ninth-Level Spirit Realm, and its power doesn’t rely on Source Power. Even Source Realm experts would stumble if they weren’t careful around Green Ivy.”

The Crimson Queen interrupted at this moment, “That’s why I said that this person’s life will end here.”

The Dream Source nodded and did not refute.

It just watched as Lu Ming entered Laboratory No. 5.

“Hello, I’m coming in.”

Lu Ming, who had entered Laboratory No. 5, was polite and quiet.

He looked around the room.

Lu Ming saw a vast space of several thousand square meters filled with countless plants. Perhaps, due to the lack of maintenance, these plants grew in a chaotic and disorderly manner, crowding the originally spacious laboratory.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded from the forest within the laboratory, in front of Lu Ming.

“Hello, how should I address you?”

“My name is Lu Ming. What about you?”

“My name is Green Ivy.”

Lu Ming said, “I’d like to ask for directions. Green Ivy, do you have a map of this place?”

The female voice in the forest was silent for a moment before saying, “Yes.”

Lu Ming saw that the strange-looking flowers and trees in front of him automatically parted, revealing a secluded path. At the end of the path, a plant resembling a sunflower was swaying gently. Lu Ming’s sharp eyes noticed faint lines on the sunflower’s plate.

“What’s this…”

“This is a map of the First Research Institute.”

“Can you bring it out?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t.” There was a hint of apology in Green Ivy’s voice. She continued, “In fact, this research institute doesn’t have a ready-made map. This map of mine was drawn based on my memories.”

“I can’t move, so I can only trouble you to walk over and take a look yourself.”

“Oh, I see,” Lu Ming nodded in realization and decisively walked forward.

As he walked, he said, “So, Green Ivy, are you not human?”

“Mr. Lu Ming, why do you say that?”

“It’s just a feeling, a feeling.”

Green Ivy was silent for a moment before saying gently, “Yes, Mr. Lu. I’m not a human in the usual sense. Do you have any prejudice against an unusual lifeform like me?”

Lu Ming shook his head, “I don’t have any prejudice because I’ve always believed that as long as we can coexist peacefully, species and such things are irrelevant.”

Green Ivy’s gentle laughter rang out in the forest, “Mr. Lu, you really know how to talk…”

Lu Ming shrugged slightly, “I’m just speaking my mind.”

Lu Ming had now come to the front of the sunflower.

He lowered his head and looked at the lines and markings on the sunflower the paths and labels were clearly visible.

This was indeed the topographic map of this place.

After memorizing it, Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Green Ivy.”

“Mr. Lu, you’re too polite.”

“Well then, I’ll see you later.”

After saying this, Lu Ming turned around and saw that the path behind him had disappeared without a trace at some point.

This made Lu Ming frown and mutter, “I thought we were already friends…” “Friends?” Green Ivy’s voice sounded, still gentle in tone.

“Mr. Lu, why do you think that we’re already friends?”

Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied, “Our conversation flows harmoniously, our tones are gentle, and, most importantly, even though you’re an alien life form, 1 don’t see any need for hostility between us.”

“That’s meaningless.”

“Hehehehe…” Green Ivy suddenly burst into a series of crisp laughter,

“Although I’m an… alien life form? Mr. Lu, your words are really filled with the arrogance of a human.”

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, “Arrogance?”

“Yes, it’s arrogance. It seems you believe that as a human, just not discriminating against me is already a great favor.”

Lu Ming shook his head and said, “I don’t have such thoughts.”

Green Ivy ignored Lu Ming’s response and continued talking to herself, “But do you realize what you humans are in my eyes?”

Lu Ming remained silent as he heard Green Ivy say slowly, “It’s food…”

“Would you be friends with your food?”
