Chapter 2273 Unshackled Doctor

Not only had he been working under the Divine Doctor, who was a national treasure by himself, but he also had worked on the alien lifeform, which was responsible for the manifold, another treasure of immeasurable value.

"Why didn't you tell them the truth?" Julian asked him after all the others returned to their busy day working at the orphanages.

"...What's the point?" Rui heaved a sigh. "It's not like they can do anything about the fact that three Sage-level powerhouses have joined hands to destroy the Kandrian Empire with extreme determination. It will just cause them stress."

"I suppose that's true."

He didn't want them to suffer anxiety over something entirely outside of their control. It was within his control; thus, all they needed to do was trust him to ensure that no harm would befall them.

"The Minister of Research and Development has recently implemented a directive from the Emperor of Harmony to focus on higher-end esoteric research and development for a variety of rare and scarce esoteric resources," Julian informed him. "Normally, we would never focus on the application of resources that we have little of and can obtain even less of, but recently, that has changed."

Rui knew what he was referring to. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Beast Domain harvesting."

With an abrupt spike in these high-end resources, there was a sudden need to get better at harnessing these powerful esoteric resources. In other words, the Kandrian Empire needed to shift the gears when it came to its research and development philosophy.

"The Kandrian Empire has signed several joint R&D endeavors with Esocline Federation," Julian further informed him. "There is no other organization in human civilization that is more qualified with esoteric technology than the Esocline Federation. Thus, I look forward to collaborating with them once I'm done with the project with the alien lifeform."

The Divine Doctor getting bored of the specimen was not a good sign for them. One of the things that anchored him to the Kandrian Empire was his deep curiosity about the specimen. Ordinarily, research into an alien lifeform could keep any normal team of scientists invested for decades. There was so much unknown and so much more to learn about that one could spend their entire lives just barely making a dent into tapping into everything there was to be learned about.

Not the Divine Doctor.

He was too competent for his own good.

His genius intellect, vast insights, and experience with life itself allowed him to make far quicker progress in uncovering the secrets of the alien specimen.

Rui recalled that very early in his research into alien life, he had already modeled the anatomical structure of the creature and the microstructures underpinning its body. Not even Rui had realized that the alien lifeform was not comprised of countless cells, but rather, it was comprised of countless layers with a metabolic system that relied on osmosis of substances through pressure differentials that served as its circulatory system.

An enormous breakthrough that Divine Doctor had made very shortly after he began his research voyage.

Not even the alien lifeform could keep his interest forever.

Perhaps that was why he was so obsessed with healing the allegedly alive and ill Gaia. If the latter was true, then this case was one of the few cases that even someone of his caliber could not possibly be certain of solving.

"More importantly, if the Divine Doctor grows bored of it. Then, the only anchors keeping him where he was were the prophecy he was owed for healing the Emperor of Harmony. Or... me."

It did not bode well that they did not have a firm grip over him, considering how important he was to the Kandrian Empire.

"I'll need to speak to my father about this."
