Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1274: Preparation to Leave

Zhang Lie's stare was somewhat vacant. He looked in a direction where there was nothing to be seen, murmuring to himself, "Better that it be fast. If it has to end, it might as well be quick."

Zhu asked, "I worked hard to get everything on your list for you quickly, Zhang Lie, and I wouldn't have succeeded if not for the fact that the will of the realm's blessing caused herbs to spawn all over. However, it seems like you're somewhat upset. Did I do something wrong?"

Zhang Lie patted Zhu's head. "No, I'm very happy. Thank you for your hard work, Zhu."

Zhu replied, "But Zhang Lie, you don't look happy at all! What happened?"

"Nothing. I'm just a little unwilling to end things like this."

Zhu grabbed Zhang Lie's hands. "I'll miss you too, Zhang Lie! I wish I could leave with you."

Zhang Lie patted Zhu's head. "I'll miss you too, Zhu, but you're the ruler of the third realm now, and you can't head off with me before things have stabilized. You need to remain here to maintain law and order, and the fourth realm is very dangerous. I wouldn't be able to guarantee your safety there."

"I know you don't belong here, Zhang Lie, so I won't try to keep you behind. I hope you'll be able to move forward without any burdens, that you can proudly puff out your chest as you continue forth in your journey. We'll always be watching you from the back."

Zhang Lie kneaded her head, causing her to scream and giggle.

"It's way too early for you to be consoling me!"

Zhu smiled.

Zhang Lie continued, "I won't be leaving just yet. There are some preparations I'll need to make ahead of time, and I'll need some time to carry out the research for producing these limit-breaking potions as well."

Zhu instantly beamed. "Excellent! I was worried that you would ascend to the fourth realm immediately after I found the ingredients."

Every additional day that Zhang Lie remained in the third realm left Zhu at ease. Even if he weren't by her side, the fact that he was somewhere she could sense and touch calmed her.

Along with Zhu, Zhang Lie headed toward the medicinal research laboratory of the draconian kingdom, which Zhang Lie had requested the draconian sage to construct.

All the pillmasters and herbalists of the unified world were working hard to research these herbs, and the laboratories all over the world were fuller than they had ever been.

As they entered the laboratory, Zhang Lie headed straight for the Yeluo chieftain.

The Yeluo chieftain had been the one to construct the medicinal research laboratory, and he was also the head scientist in charge.

His hair was in disarray and sticking haphazardly upward, and his eyes had huge bags. It was apparent he hadn't slept well for a long time, but he was clearly brimming with joy and excitement.

After the sudden, bewildering rise in the growth of herbs all over the world, the Yeluo chieftain had encountered herbs that he knew nothing about and had never seen before day after day, and the possibility of new discoveries invigorated him.

Upon seeing Zhang Lie, he grew even happier. "You're here now, Your Majesty! I've been looking for you and the draconian sage!"

Zhang Lie replied, "As I've said before, after ascending to the third realm, I'm no longer the king of the kingdom of Limit. There's no need for you to address me as royalty."

The Yelo chieftain replied, "We might be in the third realm, far away from your kingdom, Your Majesty, but the kingdom of Limit has remained in my heart all along. I frequently dream of it, of conquering the world with you, and you'll always be my king at heart."

Zhang Lie couldn't help but chuckle. "You've really learned how to flatter me, haven't you?"

Conquering the world—why, ever since the Yeluo clan joined the kingdom of Limit, they had focused all their efforts to researching the properties of plants and herbs. The number of battles they had participated in could be counted on a single hand.

The Yeluo chieftain smiled. "Blame those newbies. We've had a batch of new researchers recently. They're not very skilled at anything but flattery, though."

Only then did Zhang Lie notice the newcomers.

"This laboratory has really grown famous, hasn't it?"

The Yeluo chieftain's smile grew wider. "It's all thanks to your endowment, Your Majesty, along with the chance at development the draconian sage granted us. Otherwise, we would never have been able to build this laboratory or ascend to the third realm."

"As the head of the laboratory, you must manage over a thousand people now, yes?"

The draconian kingdom's medicinal research laboratory had produced significant and considerable results under the leadership of the Yeluo chieftain, and the laboratory had expanded to a significant extent since then. The fact that it controlled so much space within the capital itself was testament to its importance.

The laboratory was now a resource fully intertwined and integrated with the draconian kingdom.
