Chapter 1803 Do You Dare?
𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚Researcher Aimoi focused on aging, believing that the heavens placed artificial arbitrary caps on age. Her reasoning for this was simple. Why was it that a third grade celestial lived the same 10 000 year period a second grade celestial did? Logically speaking, shouldn’t the latter live longer? After all, they filled more meridians with celestial qi.
Though these thoughts were intriguing, Dyon didn’t believe them to be very useful. So, though he allowed Aimoi the same benefits as the other researchers, he wasn’t as keen to look into her progress. He mostly did it to save her face and just in case her research really did turn up something interesting.
Dyon never could have expected that she would find her place here helping Researcher Fara to be rid of her clones’ fatal flaw.
“Leader Sacharro.” They both bowed respectfully.
“I have an interesting proposal for the both of you, though it might be difficult, the experience could be rewarding.”
Aimoi had the most lukewarm feelings toward Dyon, mostly because she had been neglected, so she didn’t have a great reaction like Lei did before or Fara did now. But, out of respect for him not blatantly disrespecting her, she still listened courteously. Plus, the database of Dyon’s mortal world had allowed her several breakthroughs as well.
Dyon’s spatial ring flashed, this time revealing a small exquisite black-gold vase-like container before removing the lid.
The lab was suddenly filled with an intoxicating fragrance, the two women felt as light as air.
“Jade Queen Bee honey!”
The two researchers recognized it immediately. This was a treasure of untold value. In fact, many Star Grade Herbs couldn’t match it.
Dyon had long since gotten used to the Jade Queen Bee honey and even took it for granted, but it seemed others new well of its value. It was practically priceless.
To allow anyone to raise their meridians by an entire grade with just a single drop was unimaginable. But, Dyon was no longer surprised by it. After all, if the Tower could reward him Little Yang and Yin, not to mention the Lightning Willow Mask that had saved his life not once, but twice, from tribulations, this honey almost seemed plain next to them.
The two women trembled, understanding Dyon’s ask of them.
Honey needed to be catalyzed by the enzymes within a bee’s stomach in order to properly form. For a special honey like Jade Queen Bee honey, the process was even more labor intensive. It was said that after producing a single drop of her honey, a Jade Queen Bee would pass away after giving up her whole essence.
A supreme grade beast… Gone… Just like that.
What did this all mean? It meant that the Jade Honey itself contained the DNA of the long extinct Jade Queen Bee!
If they could extract the lingering DNA from the Jade Honey, they might be able to allow the Jade Queen Bee to appear in this world once more!
But…
“It’s… It’s too precious…” Fara and Aimoi shook. What first had been excitement had become fear.
What if they failed? Even if Dyon was nothing but kind to them until now, how could anyone stand the loss of something so precious without any results?
Even if the DNA of the Jade Queen Bee remained, it would be in incredibly small amounts. Plus, because a single bee could only produce a single drop, that meant that each piece of DNA would be from a different Jade Queen Bee, making the task even more difficult. This didn’t even mention the amount of time that had passed since these drops were collected.
Looking at the small vase in Dyon’s hand, their shaking grew fiercer. Though this was a great opportunity, they didn’t dare to take it.
“Ah, you two are mistaken.” Dyon scratched his head awkwardly, turning over his hand to pour out the honey into his mouth.
The two researchers looked on in shock, their hearts seizing.
“NO!” They both screamed at the same time. Everyone knew that you could only take 1 drop of honey a day. Though it wouldn’t kill you to take more, it was incredibly wasteful!
Dyon chuckled as several mouthfuls were practically inhaled by him under their shocked eyes.
“This vase might look small, but its inner space is the size of a small ocean. I couldn’t even tell you how many single drops there are in there.” 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
Looking at them, he smiled, smacking his lips. “Now do you dare?”
The two women looked at each other, then looked back at Dyon.
“”YES!””
**
Though Dyon didn’t have an exact amount of drops stored within the small black-gold vase, he did have a good guess. If the number was truly infinite, his request would seem useless… On the surface at least.
From Dyon’s recollection, there was a body of water known as the Great Lakes in his mortal world. Though it had long since dried up thanks to Matriarch Niveus’ vile actions, in their prime, despite their grandiose name, the lakes could be filled with a total of 20 billion drops of water.
This seemed like a lot, but was it? After taking control of so many universes, Dyon suddenly had trillions of individuals under his rule. Even if he only gave everyone a single drop, not even 1% of the population would be able to benefit.
From Dyon’s estimates, the inner space of the small vase was about double to triple the size of the Great Lakes, but even then, that was only about 50 billion drops of Jade Queen Bee Honey. How could that be enough?
For those elite Clans, this was more than enough. In their eyes, 50 billion drops would last their Clan countless generations because they hide and store away the benefits for themselves and their elites. However, Dyon had no intention of doing such a thing.
He needed to conquer the mortal plane as quickly as possible and there were only two ways to do it. Either he became all powerful, or his Empire did.
The easier choice was obvious. While the former might never be accomplished, the latter was relatively easier for the simple fact that Dyon had confidence in raising the standard of his people.
