My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 443 330: Breaking Through the Grand Expedition Overnight

"Why do we need to act alone and hide our identity?" The Golden Emperor silently looked at his summoner, reportedly a mad Viscount from over a thousand years later.

He wasn't as outrageous as the rumors claimed. He just got lucky in his youth to become part of the great expedition, and through some small schemes, he succeeded in winning against the demon race, which seemed to have already started infighting at that time.

The living conditions in his youth were too harsh. He still remembered that his tribe had only 81 people, all living off a type of fungus, and he never expected to become part of the great expedition.

As for why his group won, he thought about it and realized that the demon race back then seemed to implode on its own. They fought amongst themselves, almost to the point of tearing each other apart, and he managed to win in the chaos.

The infighting was so severe that even the simplest stratagem could have unimaginable effects.

In the end, with the assistance of his heroic spirit, he successfully unified the victorious "Demon Realm" and became the human emperor.

This is the story of the founding emperor of the 1300-year-old Empire. It wasn't that grand. He remembered that when he first unified the lands, the vast continent of the Demon Realm had only tens of thousands of people.

And now, the same continent is home to over a billion people.

He merely managed to unify the lands. The true successes were achieved by his second son and the successive generations' efforts in establishing the Empire.

When he died, the entire Empire was still just hanging on by a thread.

As a summoned heroic spirit to this world, this emperor inexplicably received countless memories, including stories like how barren lands suddenly yielded crops after the emperor's visit, terrifying demon emperors among the enemy's spirits, and the tale of him using a stone to kill one.

I am not, I did not, don't make things up…

In summary, after various outrageous rumors surrounded this man, he inexplicably became the strongest heroic spirit in history.

He always felt inadequate in talent, so he desperately cultivated his descendants. Even now, he couldn't understand the schemes of this mad Viscount.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something." The mystic scholar, truly the mad Viscount, looked seriously at the emperor and asked, "During the great expedition, did the enemy exhibit any anomalies?"

"How do you know?" The Golden Emperor immediately responded.

"Indeed, there's a second question. I seem to have discovered an issue with the Empire's reproduction. I want to ask, did the demon race you once faced encounter the same problem?" the mad Viscount said.

This question left the middle-aged man dumbfounded. Instead of answering, he thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. When you say there's a problem with reproduction, what do you mean?"

"The Empire lost the ability to reproduce at some unknown generation," the mad Viscount directly shared his information.

"How is that possible? Wait, you're someone from a hundred years ago. If the Empire lost the ability to reproduce, why does it still flourish with vitality?" The weary middle-aged man immediately retorted.

"This is the question I'm searching for. As I've told you, aside from being a mystic scholar, I've always been a biologist. When I was researching genetic tracing and preparing to summon you in my lifetime, I discovered this issue," the mad Viscount said with a smile as he continued, "I found that the cellular similarity of descendants over 20 generations was over 99.999% identical to their ancestors."

"Hm?" The emperor was stunned. He couldn't understand.

The mad Viscount didn't explain further, continuing, "I initially thought the samples were mistaken, or perhaps the genetic similarity between these two members of the royal family was coincidentally nearly identical, so I went on to abduct another royal descendant..."

"Guess what? The genes were almost exactly the same!" the mad Viscount exclaimed.

Though the emperor couldn't comprehend this string of words, he at least understood one thing: "So, my descendants' genes are almost identical to mine?"

"Yes, even after dozens of generations and the royal family experienced large-scale changes, bloodline replacement, and marriages with nobles unrelated to your ancestry, miraculously, the genes didn't change at all. I thought the royal family was a special case, so I even abducted the young master of a duke's house, as well as descendants many generations removed..."

"The genes were identical! Quite amazing, isn't it?" the mad Viscount continued.

"I even tried letting them reproduce between males and females, only there were no pregnancies, but mysteriously a complete embryo appeared in the female's body."

"Can you imagine the impact on my research at the time? There was no conception, but an embryo appeared!"

At this point, the emperor realized there really seemed to be a problem, but he didn't understand why the issue arose, only hearing that not only had the mad Viscount abducted many members of the royal family, but also children from the duke's house and conducted such experiments...

No wonder he faced ruin and was eliminated during his lifetime; what he did was enough to hang a thousand times.

The mad Viscount seemed unfazed by the emperor's hesitant expression and continued, "This miraculous phenomenon left me baffled at the time. It's a pity that before I formally began research, I was caught, and in the frantic escape, I committed suicide out of guilt."
