The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

"It was finally a success..."

After the eighth attempt, the relic finally fused into the extraordinary plant that Bai Yi wanted.

[Flame Sunflower: After obtaining the extraordinary relic, the sunflower gained the ability to channel flames and learned to "launch" its seeds, any creature attempting to approach will experience a close-range sunflower seed barrage!]

Apart from five plants that died because they couldn't withstand the enhancement of the extraordinary relic, the remaining two didn't acquire the genes Bai Yi wanted, and couldn't even completely inherit the relic's flame abilities.

Only harvested a Fire Elemental Affinity.

Until this sunflower finally brought good news.

[You have used skill gene extraction, the genes that can be extracted from the current target are: Fire Resistance, Fire Elemental Affinity, Woodification Muscle]

Without much thought, Bai Yi extracted the two new genes.

The former, as its name suggests, can obtain a certain degree of flame resistance, while the latter is similar to activation-type abilities, allowing plants to have structures somewhat akin to biological muscles.

Bai Yi summoned a needle erosion insect, realizing that fusing the Fire Resistance gene unexpectedly required a high magic power value, needing a full 800 points.

After extracting the gene earlier, Bai Yi now had less than three hundred points, and since it was already close to evening, they still had to reserve magic power for themselves to fuse the magic power core gene, leaving it for tomorrow.

After dinner, Bai Yi received a notification from the maid Niaoniao, stating that the extraordinary plant she needed had arrived in Taian and would be delivered at the latest by tomorrow.

Fortunately, Bai Yi wasn't in a hurry, while they were still preparing for the upgrade of the needle erosion insect; even if it arrived, they couldn't process it immediately, so they requested it be delivered tomorrow noon.

After confirming with the maid that no visitors would come tonight, Bai Yi went back to the kitchen again.

Although those five plants had died today, their remains still bore some traces of the extraordinary, so Bai Yi considered that perhaps some potion could still be concocted.

Following their intuition, they processed all the materials and threw them into a pot, and within an hour, the potion was freshly brewed.

As a potion made from failed experiments, it was doomed to be non-replicable in terms of raw materials.

Moreover, because they were plants fostered by the same extraordinary relic, combined with the passive abilities granted by the branches that enhanced the potion's effect.

Ultimately, the potion unexpectedly carried some extraordinary effects, allowing the user to gain the ability to control flames for a certain time after use, as well as a passive spell that strengthened themselves.

As for the taste...

Bai Yi could only say they tried their best...

Since this potion could not be replicated, Bai Yi planned not to give it to Yin Hai, and believed the best home for it was with Bai Sheng and Bai Fa.

Bai Yi instructed the maid to prepare several more bottles and store it properly for Ju to deliver to Bai Sheng when they visited them next.

After tidying up everything, their magic power had almost fully recovered,

...…

The next day, at Taichen Palace

A group of church court priests dressed in pure white robes performed a ceremony and left, leaving Zhu Gang and several close vassals behind, and after a long time, Zhu Gang asked:

"Minister Yin, what do you think of the news from the church court?"

"I believe there is something strange. Emilia has always been known for brutality, while the transcendents in my place require enough knowledge to convert into corresponding power.

Even if they obtained the corresponding Divine Fragment and successfully found a Qualifier, Emilia lacks the accumulation needed to cultivate what the envoy just mentioned.

So, I can speculate that perhaps Emilia's Transcendent Origin is the church court's own.

After all, in recent years, Emilia's Mad Lion Tribe and the church court have often been in conflict, mutually exchanging Divine Fragments, and it's not impossible that Emilia happened to find a Qualifier."

"Then is Minister Yin suggesting we refuse?"

"No, quite the opposite, I believe we should agree.

No matter the truth, this is a good reason to form an alliance and use the opportunity to align with the church court to encroach on Emilia.

Moreover, coincidentally, we also acquired Emilia's Transcendent Origin.

If we can capture more corresponding relics, we can also cultivate 'Beastmen' or even 'Dragon Men.'

We could even form a special transcendent team disguised as Emilia's forces to harass and strike the church court.

Heh, just yesterday, the [Butcher] ceremony succeeded, and the people we trained already secretly upgraded to [Farmer].

We can select outstanding ones to continue upgrading, so this transcendent unit will look presentable."

Compared to Yin Hai, an heroic man standing on the other side stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying:

"I believe Scribe Yin speaks logically, and with this strategy, not only can we gain enough interest from Emilia but also conveniently suppress the church court.

If this plan succeeds, my Zhuchen will stand undefeated."

Zhu Gang sat on the long chair, pondered for a moment, and then clapped his hand decisively:

"I approve, then who can lead this unit?"

General Huo promptly said: "My son can take this position!

Just the day before yesterday, my son successfully upgraded to [Farmer], and after two days of diligent training, he can upgrade to [Butcher] at any time and lead this army."

"Approved, but for secrecy, this unit cannot use Zhuchen's active military assets."

"I have one more request: I have heard that Miss Bai can study potions. I hope to obtain one from her."

...…

"General Huo? Potion?"

Bai Yi heard the maid's words and couldn't help but ponder.

So, they spread their reputation this quickly, and they're here to request potions?

However, since the other party had the emperor's approval, Bai Yi couldn't refuse, so they went to the front courtyard to meet General Huo.

Knowing that Bai Yi had a contract binding and was trustworthy, General Huo didn't hide much and told Bai Yi about the existence of the transcendent army.

Finally, he revealed his purpose—seeking a potion that could accelerate injury and physical recovery.

But Bai Yi only gleaned one piece of information from this: Zhuchen was preparing for war!

This meant that the time left for Bai Sheng and Bai Fa to develop wasn't much.

They needed to quickly tell Bai Sheng and Bai Fa about this news!

As for the potion, of course, they would postpone it as much as possible to buy Bai Sheng and Bai Fa more time.

"General Huo, you know, potion research requires time; since you're in a hurry, I'll start immediately to get you a result as soon as possible."

General Huo wasn't dissatisfied with this answer; previously, whenever they had needs reported to Zhuchen Court, it also required time for research.

He understood that this wasn't something that could be rushed into existence, and seeing Bai Yi being this attentive, he was already very satisfied.

He didn't disturb Bai Yi further and quickly took his leave.

Returning to his small courtyard, the orange cat was curiously playing with a Mang Grass planted in a flowerpot.

It was the extraordinary plant promised to be delivered this morning, named White Mang Grass.

True to being an extraordinary plant, it provided Bai Yi with an extraordinary gene called Space Attachment.

Combined with its provided Space Elemental Affinity, it attached effects similar to a Space Blade to the needle erosion insect's wings and limbs.

Although Bai Yi still wanted to continue fusing new genes for the insect swarm, the current situation demanded that they be deployed in battle ahead of schedule.

"Seize the last opportunity to fuse one more new gene with you."

Bai Yi's gaze focused on the panel, tightly fixating on one word—Split Breeding.

[Current gene matches target well, fusion requires consuming 1200 magic power value, proceed with fusion?]
