After Butler Li received Wei Huo’s orders, he immediately found the most authoritative biologists and sociologists of the black-and-white Titan. He then handed the information he had obtained on the metal devils to the experts for research.

God’s orders were absolute. They had to be obeyed.

However, Butler Li was confused as well. He was wondering why God was researching this. Why not just exterminate the entire metal devil race? There was no need for God to do anything. As long as the Temple Knights took action, they would be destroyed.

However, if God did not give any orders, Butler Li would not act rashly.

A few days later, the many sociologists and biologists who had taken on the quest reported the research results to Butler Li, who then reported them to Wei Huo.

The biologists in the Titan came up with an interesting theory about the metal devils. They believed that this was a normal reaction of creatures that had the tendency to identify with the similar and ostracize the different. It was an instinct.

Creatures would attack when they saw creatures of different species. That was why they had attacked Wei Huo immediately.

The buildings in the cities and the weapons in the hands of the metal devils had been created by someone else for them. The group of biologists thought that this floating mountain had been created by a very powerful existence. This existence had not only created this mountain but had also created the cities and weapons.

The metal devils were creatures without intelligence and only instincts. They were reared there, and this battlefield had been deliberately created by this expert.

Just like entertainment activities such as cricket fighting, cock fighting, and beast fighting, this battlefield should be a place created by an even stronger expert for entertainment.

It had to be said that the biologists had a rich imagination. Wei Huo threw the report aside after taking a glance.

Next came the sociologists’ report. The sociologists’ theories were very novel. They thought that metal devils were creatures that could only imitate others. Not only could they imitate doing things, but they could also imitate other creatures’ appearance.

The sociologists believed that a purebred devil had passed by this place a long time ago and been discovered by the metal creatures in another form. Then, these metal creatures had emulated this devil and turned into him.

The purebred devil had found this scenery interesting and stayed behind to build houses and weapons. The metal devils had imitated him and built houses and weapons as well.

Although Wei Huo found such an inference interesting, he still threw the report aside. The sociologists and biologists in this era were too imaginative, but their rich imagination often led them to deviate from reality.

Unfortunately, there was not enough information.

Wei Huo and the Snake God had been talking for a long time. The Snake God planned to capture one or two metal devils to use them as samples, but that was only if he could adapt to this world’s rules.

Wei Huo and the Snake God were working hard on this and were learning from scratch. Their knowledge of DNA and genes was useless here. The creatures in this world could only survive by relying on the energy bodies around them. If any creatures could not adapt to these energy bodies, they would not be able to survive in this world.

If one wanted to survive in this world, one had to modify one’s body. However, this was not too difficult for a Mythical creature. After all, this meant just changing one’s body structure. One would not change one’s soul.

However, even a Mythical creature could not change a Legendary-level body. Besides, even if a person below the Legendary stage had their body modified, they could not stay in this world for long, as there was a repulsive force in it.

If they stayed for too long, they would still be affected by the repulsive force of the world. They had to return to the black-and-white Titan every once in a while, or they would be killed by the repulsive force of the world. Similarly, Wei Huo and the other Mythical creatures also felt this repulsive force.

However, probably because they had Divine Artifacts on them and had been staying near the black-and-white Titan, the repulsive force was not very obvious. Besides, they could resist the repulsive force themselves. However, if they left the black-and-white Titan for too long, the repulsive force would increase. Sooner or later, it would exceed the limits of the Mythical stage.

The reason the black-and-white Titan was not affected by the repulsive force was probably because there were 33 Small Worlds in the black-and-white Titan. These Small Worlds were already isolated from the Great Worlds, so they could resist the repulsive force.

At the same time, the godhood energy of a Divine Artifact could not be underestimated. The Spirit Firmament had been able to survive in the time trap for so long because the level-nine Divine Artifact had resisted the repulsive force of the world.

However, the current situation was much better than before. After all, the 33 Small Worlds were much larger than the planet back then. Besides, they did not have to fight in the sky every day.

Although they lacked the pressure of continuous battles and fewer Legendary creatures were born in their race, at least they lived peaceful and stable lives.

However, this peaceful civilization would not last forever. Wei Huo had already ordered the black-and-white Titan to approach the mountain and was planning to descend on the city that had been cleared because of him.

At the same time, Wei Huo and the Snake God had begun modifying the Titan crew members. Every time they finished modifying one of them, they would be ordered to head to the city immediately.

Gradually, the people in the black-and-white Titan occupied the city. They started adapting to life in this world. At the same time, they started researching energy weapons.

The scientists were all placed in the city. The center of the city was completely under their control. Then, the incubation rooms, armories, healing springs, and other facilities started operating again.

Scientists had also discovered many different things. The theories of the previous world could no longer work here, but there was good scientific quality. Even if they started from scratch, they could quickly study the theories of the current world and various rules. Then, they could use these things in their actual lives.

This kind of research took a lot of time, but time was the last thing Mythical creatures needed. Soon, 50 years had passed. In those 50 years, scientists had only grasped some basic laws of physics.

No, talking about laws of physics would not be right either. They should be called laws of energy bodies. This was a new term. They had named it after discovering the omnipresent energy bodies around them. Scientists had realized that the operation of this world depended on energy bodies. The existence of energy bodies was just like the existence of light in the previous world.

If there had been no light in the previous world, nothing would have existed. It was the same in this world. If there were no energy bodies, the world would not be able to function, and living creatures would not be able to survive.

The 50 years of research had not been in vain. Scientists had invented a powerful weapon within these 50 years. This weapon could absorb energy and release powerful energy by draining energy bodies!

However, for some reason, after this weapon was created, all the metal devils on the mountain suddenly attacked their city.
