Anna asked: “What kind of bet?”

The Emperor said: “Ask for one of his patented technology research ——any of them is fine, if you can get one, I’ll take it as my loss and the Serum is yours”

“Then what if I don’t get one?”

“Then I’m sorry. But we can talk about it again the next time the two of you come to Fuxi as guests” the Emperor shrugged.

“Alright, you promise?”

“I promise”

Anna then turned on her Holo-Brain and connect to Gu Qing Shan, saying that she wanted one of his Mech technology research.

Very quickly, a data packet arrived from space.

It only took a few minutes.

Seeing that, the Emperor’s smile clearly deepened.

Anna didn’t hesitate and forwarded the packet to the Emperor.

Glancing over at it, the Emperor said: “Men, come verify this”

A person came and took the Holo-Brain away.

“Come, let us go horse riding for a bit” the Emperor invited her.

“Ok, it’s been so long since I last rode a horse” Anna spoke very cheerfully.

The Emperor picked a tall and majestic black stallion, while Anna picked a crimson red female horse. They rode around the stable while chatting about this and that.

When they came back, his subordinates were very keenly waiting for the Emperor.

The scientists were staring at the Holo-Brain, unable to contain their excitement.

“How is it?” the Emperor got off the horse and asked.

The leading scientist answered excitedly: “Your Majesty, this piece of technological research is completely genuine, not to mention it even managed to solve a particularly difficult bottleneck that we’ve been facing”

“A bottleneck?” the Emperor instinctively repeated that.

“Yes, this problem has managed to stop the two of us for over many years, numerous specialist research theorem has been suggested, but none actually manage to break through”

The scientist said without holding anything back: “Thanks to this technology, our Empire’s Mech power supply problem has been completely solved”

“Very good, you’re dismissed” the Emperor said.

“How is it? Seems like I’ve won” Anna pridefully spoke.

“Hm, your boyfriend doesn’t only care a lot about you, he’s also an exceptional talent” the Emperor commented

He was able to relax.

Such a top-level genius Mech researcher, he was definitely born in the wrong country!

The Emperor gently replied: “When you go back, tell Gu Qing Shan that I’ll move to my summer palace in about a week, since it’s a long way from the Confederate, you two had better go a bit sooner”

“That’s fine, no problem,” Anna said, “then what about our bet?”

The Emperor laughed and answered: “You think I’d go back on my words?”

He clapped his hands.

Very quickly, two subordinates came with a sealed cold box.

Anna couldn’t help but silently gulp.

It’s not easy to create such a Serum, not to mention with the quick expiry date, they normally aren’t made unless specifically required.

With how much she knows about the Fuxi Empire’s current situation, she’s very sure that the Empire doesn’t have any of them in stock.

Which means this vial was created in the short time that she and the Emperor went out horseback riding.

The Fuxi Empire is ruled tightly under the Emperor’s iron fist, as long as he wants something done, the entire country will move to do it, fast and efficient.

It’s a very scary empire.

Anna didn’t dare to think further, only stared at the cold box in the servants’ hands and smiled.

“Take it, take it. Just see the look on your face, you’ll really make the Royal family lose face one of these days” the Emperor smiled and said.

Anna quickly came up and took the sealed cold box, smiled and said: “Thank you very much, your Majesty”

The Emperor reminded: “Use it quickly after you return, this thing only lasts for a day at most”

“Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you now” Anna turned on her Holo-Brain.

“No need”

“Hm —–ah? Do you mean?” Anna looked up in surprise.

The Emperor clasped both hands behind his back and coldly replied: “Go and tell him, this is my gift to him”

Anna sighed, showing a complicated expression on her face and said: “What a big investment you’re making”

“It’s only 1.5 billion, if that’s able to make Gu Qing Shan see me as an Emperor he can trust his life to, that much money is nothing”

Looking at Anna, the Emperor didn’t bother to hide his intention and spoke: “Being at the Confederate will only dull his talent, only at Fuxi will he be able to truly shine like he deserves”

“Tell that to him, word for word”

“Then I will thank you on his behalf”

“Hm, you can return now, I’ll be waiting for you to come as guests”

“Ok”

Anna took the sealed cold box, did a curtsy as etiquette then turned around to leave.

Since the Elementalist Awakening Serum has an expiry date, she must quickly return to the Confederate.

Space.

The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.

“That’s what he said”

Anna told him the Emperor’s words.

“1.5 billion! Just like that, he gave 1.5 billion away!” Ye Fei Li was so stunned he was screaming.

Right now, he looked nothing like the Murder Clown, or the strongest Man Killer Fiend on Earth.

“Even I would feel a bit moved by that” Liao Xing stared at the sealed cold box, eyes boiling with interest.

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged looks, seeing the emotions in each other’s eyes.

“No wonder the Fuxi Empire is able to surpass the Confederate these last few years” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“Right, he’s a very decisive ruler” Gu Qing Shan also commented.

He took the sealed cold box from Anna’s hand and said: “Impartial Goddess”

[I’m here, sir]

“Begin producing the Martial Potential Enhancing Serum and the God’s Chosen Awakening Serum”

[Currently in the production progress, it will be done in 1 hour]

“I’ve troubled you”

Releasing his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan checked his body again.

Still heavily wounded.

But his Dantian has already gotten better, a little bit of spirit energy has already started to gather.

This is good news.

He tried to stand up, finding himself able to walk just a bit, but his entire body will scream in pain if he walks just a bit too fast.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “Has the Game of Eternal begun?”

“It haven’t, it’s still staying silent for now” Ye Fei Li answered.

“That’s good then” Gu Qing Shan sighed from relief.

“But with how you are right now, even if it does appear, you’re not going to be able to do anything” Ye Fei Li said.

Gu Qing Shan can only wryly laugh to that.

Right then, Liao Xing yawned, followed by Zhang Ying Hao.

“What’s with you two? Aren’t you a bit too tired?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We’ve been watching over you for 2 days, what do you think?” Liao Xing asked.

“Since the Game of Eternal hasn’t started yet, we might as well return and rest up for a bit” Gu Qing Shan decided.

“I’ll have the chefs prepare some good” Zhang Ying Hao turned on his Holo-Brain.

“I want a feast!” Ye Fei Li licked his lips.

The small-sized Interstellar Warship brought them back to the mountaintop mansion.

Gu Qing Shan was pretty much unable to take care of himself, so Anna stuck close to him to feed him.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan’s Holo-Brain lit up.

[Sir, the Serums has been successfully produced without any problem, do you need it now?] Impartial Goddess asked.

“Hm, bring them here” Gu Qing Shan excitedly said.

If he’s able to evolve his lightning thaumaturgy, any injury is worth it.

A few minutes later, Anna came out to get the Serums and brought Gu Qing Shan back to his room to rest.

“Why do I feel like Anna isn’t quite herself today?” Ye Fei Li asked with a low voice.

“Stupid” Liao Xing didn’t even bother to look up and answered while eating, “when a woman is madly in love, of course she’ll become another person”

“What are you guys talking about?” Anna carefully closed the door and returned to the table.

Since she’s been taking care of Gu Qing Shan, she’s only started to eat after Gu Qing Shan is done with his meal.

“Ah, it’s nothing” Ye Fei Li and Liao Xing quickly said.

…

Sitting on the bed, in front of Gu Qing Shan were two sealed cold boxes.

Both of them has been opened.

In the box Anna brought back from Fuxi, a vial containing a yellow fluid.

The other box came from Impartial Goddess, inside were two glass vials, one contained a red fluid, while the other contained a glittering white fluid.

Gu Qing Shan opened the War God UI to see two wheels still rotating very slowly in the middle of the screen.

The larger circle was grey, while the smaller one had three empty slots.

The larger circle is the circle for rolling his thaumaturgy at Golden Core realm, while the smaller was to evolve his lightning thaumaturgy.

He can only activate a new thaumaturgy mission after he finishes the lighting evolution mission.

It’s finally time.

Gu Qing Shan placed each of the vials of Serum into the slots.

Each of them instantly closed up.

The entire wheel started to spin, letting out a blinding light.

The War God UI started to show glowing lines of text.

[Detected user to have made it to Foundation Establishment peak]

[Detected all three necessary evolution Serums]

[Energy necessary for thaumaturgy evolution is full]

[Your lightning thaumaturgy is about to evolve]

Right after Gu Qing Shan read through them, the lines of text disappeared.

After that, the circle split into three balls of light, drawing a “品” in front of Gu Qing Shan.

[Ting]!

The System let out a chime notification.

[The user has selected Smiting]

[The user has selected Lightning of Life]

[Please select one out of three choices to complete the evolution for Smiting]

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the first ball of light.

Following his gaze, a few lines of text started to appear next to the ball of light.

[Potential Enhancement: In short period of time, exponentially increasing your movement speed and attack speed]

[Note: The power of Lightning will trigger your cells to provide you extraordinary speed]

A really great evolved ability!

Seeing the ability description, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a feeling of reaping his harvest.

He then looked at the second ball of light.

[Electrified Phantom: You can freely create mirages in battle to fool your opponent’s eyes]

[Note: Using lightning, sound, thunder, shadow and light to create a mirage, a very convincing illusion]

Gu Qing Shan glanced over this ball of light and looked at the third and final one.

[Stiff: When a living being is struck by your Lightning, they will lose control of their body. Duration: 2 seconds]

[Note: This is the evolved form of Seven Shackles; no being is immune to it under normal circumstances]

After reading through all three choices, Gu Qing Shan started to contemplate.

He asked: “System, after the thaumaturgy evolves, will it keep the effect I had before?”

[Ting]!

The System responded: [A new thaumaturgy forms when the previous thaumaturgy the user owns gains the appropriate power and evolves, so it will not keep the previous effect]

In order words, if he chooses any of these three, [Seven Shackles] will instantly be gone.
