Li Moyu pondered for a moment and said, "I think it should be a mutual achievement."

"When college had just started, he wasn't this freakish yet, I could still go a couple of rounds with him."

"It was after he pursued the Pureblood Human Path that he suddenly became so strong."

"..."

At the head seat, the Li family patriarch, upon hearing his second son's words, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Pureblood Human Path, it had already been proved to be a dead end that led nowhere.

How could it be that, mysteriously, there emerged a top-tier genius capable of crushing his peers?

Furthermore, why did the Divine Plant Cult place such significant importance on this Pureblood Human Path genius named Lin Zichen?

Could there be something special about the Pureblood Human Path?

It looks like I'll have to pay close attention to the Pureblood Human Path in the future.

Also, that long-abandoned Pure Human Research Institute at Shanhai University needs to be restarted...

The Li family patriarch thought to himself silently.

...

The Yuan Family of Nanjiang.

Yuan Dongzhi was sitting together with her father, her uncle who was the family head, and more than a dozen respected elders discussing Lin Zichen.

When it came to Lin Zichen's performance in the special training and the Divine Plant Cult's madness over him, everyone felt quite puzzled.

"Dongzhi, Chuanwu specializes in researching the Pureblood Human Path, and you've lived with him for so many years; you must be very knowledgeable about the Pureblood Human Path and know that it's wholly unrealistic. What is the deal with this Lin Zichen?" asked the Yuan family head with much perplexity.

Yuan Dongzhi: "I am not entirely clear on that, I've examined his body and couldn't find anything particularly unusual."

"I guess, it might be that his compatibility with the Blood Tempering Technique is exceedingly high, allowing him to get twice the result with half the effort while practicing it."

"Thanks to this, he has been able to show the powerful side of the Pureblood Human Path, breaking our long-standing stereotypes about it."

"..."

The Yuan family head, after contemplating for a moment, then asked: "Then why does the Divine Plant Cult value him so much?"

Yuan Dongzhi shook her head: "I'm not sure."

She actually understood very well, but she would not say anything, no matter what.

She would not speak of it, whether it was to her close uncle or even her own father.

She felt obligated to keep Lin Zichen's secret, and she also knew that maintaining a good relationship with him was key.

Building a good relationship with such a genius was ten to a hundred times, even a thousand to ten thousand times, more important than maintaining a good relationship with the family head.

The Yuan family head inquired: "Dongzhi, are you still in touch with Chuanwu privately?"

Yuan Dongzhi: "Occasionally."

The Yuan family head said earnestly, "In that case, find a time to invite him over for a meal at home, have a heart-to-heart chat, see if you can reconcile."

"After all, there wasn't really any conflict between you two, and it's a pity you split up."

"Try to reconcile if you can."

As the head of a major family, he keenly sensed that the Pureblood Human Path might not be simple; otherwise, the Divine Plant Cult wouldn't place such a premium on Lin Zichen.

Now was the time to start investing.

To invest in the Pureblood Human Path meant to win over Liu Chuanwu, who specialized in studying it.

...

The Mech God Group.

Zhang Kai was explaining the situation about Lin Zichen to the top executive of the group.

The top executive listened while looking down at the information about Lin Zichen in his hands.

The data showed that Lin Zichen's Biological Level was ordinary eighth rank, and so was his mental strength.

Not having fused with the Exotic Beast Gene and still possessing such power, his talent was undeniably immense.

But that alone wasn't enough to make the Divine Plant Cult value him so heavily, to the extent that they would abandon all the undercover agents they had planted in the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region Headquarters over the years, just to take him away at all costs.

The only explanation is that the Pureblood Human Path has secrets.

"Whether it's Lin Zichen or the Pureblood Human Path, it seems they will both need close attention in the future..."

The leader of the group murmured thoughtfully as he looked at the information in his hands.

...

Jiuzhou Military Region Headquarters.

A middle-aged man with graying temples was looking over the documents his secretary had just gathered.

The documents were all about Lin Zichen.

After reading through the documents,

the middle-aged man turned to his secretary and said with an unfathomable tone, "Prepare a private jet; I will go to Shanhai University with you tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand," the secretary nodded and said.

After speaking, the secretary turned and left the office to arrange the private jet for the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of Shanhai University, and murmured to himself:

"The Pureblood Human Path, huh?"

"How interesting..."

At this moment, he was filled with interest in Lin Zichen, who walked the Pureblood Human Path and whom the Divine Plant Cult had set its sights on, wanting to see what kind of person this targeted genius was.

Because he had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen the Divine Plant Cult value a genius so highly.

...

20,000 meters beneath Shanhai City.

Within the spacious Underground Palace.

A person wearing a three-leaf clover mask was reporting to a person with a four-leaf clover mask leaning on a cane:

"Great Elder, the operation failed."

"We couldn't bring back Lin Zichen."

"Moreover, over the years, the followers we had planted in the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region Headquarters have almost all been exposed."

"And... the Ninth Elder is dead."

"From what I've learned, he seems to have died at the hands of Yuan Dongzhi."

"..."

The person with the four-leaf clover mask listened to these words without any emotional fluctuation, "Hmm, I see."

After speaking, he looked at the increasingly stable biological transport channel before him and said in a hoarse voice, "After some time, when the stability of the channel has improved, we can attempt to transport advanced-level creatures."

"During this period, all actions outside are to be suspended, including the capture of Lin Zichen."

"Currently, we need to invest all our efforts into the work of upgrading the biological transport channel."

"..."

"We can transport advanced-level creatures soon?"

"That's great!"

"Establishing a base on Earth is just a matter of time!"

"Shanhai City is already within our grasp!"

"Divine Plant Cult shall exist forever!"

At this moment, the followers of the Divine Plant Cult in the Underground Palace were all brimming with excitement.

Every follower present was not mourning for the valiantly fallen Ninth Elder, but celebrating the impending upgrade of the biological transport channel.

...

That night, the name Lin Zichen left a deep imprint in the minds of these influential figures.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghan remained unnoticed and continued to be the inconspicuous figure who always followed Lin Zichen around.
