Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

"The Secret to Life’s Evolution, the Secret Weapon to End the War!"

The striking headline was clearly written in the language of the old Mira Country.

Nowadays, it was still common in some of the walled city-states west of the Red River.

However, that wasn’t what surprised Lu Chao.

Instead, he focused on the scattered documents, picking them up one by one.

Gradually...

"Biological research is not taboo, but the correct path to unlocking human potential!"

"Mutant Beasts run rampant due to biological awakening and cellular enhancement. If their organs can be implanted into humans, the apocalypse can surely be averted!"

...

There were countless similar documents. Looking at the gory and taboo research photos, Lu Chao quickly came to a conclusion.

’This isn’t just a military base from the old era.’

’It’s also a laboratory for Biological Transformation and other forbidden research.’

With that thought, Lu Chao scanned his surroundings.

This control room was clearly the base’s headquarters, but the equipment inside showed obvious signs of damage, as if it had been deliberately smashed.

In a corner, he even saw several bodies lying beneath some equipment, previously hidden from view.

It was impossible to tell how long they’d been dead. Only skeletons remained, without a shred of flesh.

They were clad only in white lab coats. Dried bloodstains splattered the floor and surrounding walls like red specks.

The skulls and chests of the skeletons had several holes in them. Some had shattered rib cages, as if they had been shot or bludgeoned to death.

Lu Chao frowned at the sight.

His curiosity growing, he opened the control room door.

CLICK!

The crisp sound of the door opening echoed through the underground space. Beyond it lay a long, narrow corridor, flickering between light and shadow.

The fans in the ventilation ducts hummed softly. The air was thick with the mixed scent of rust and disinfectant, tinged with the strange, musty odor of a long-abandoned place.

A silver-gray metal floor stretched out before him. Doors were set into the walls on both sides every few meters. Most were mottled with rust, and a thick layer of dust covered the floor and doorknobs.

He opened them one by one, finding they were either surveillance rooms or living quarters for the researchers.

Along the way, he found more bodies, impossible to tell how long they had been dead. Some wore camouflage military uniforms, others wore white lab coats. Judging by their skeletal remains, they had died in various ways—some from what looked like gunshots, others from heavy blows.

Eventually, Lu Chao found a map. It offered a much more detailed record of the base, far more comprehensive than the fragmented parchment he’d found earlier.

According to the map, the base was located at the foot of Nanyun Mountain, reaching a depth of nearly a thousand meters.

It also covered a massive area of tens of thousands of square meters.

Right now, he was only on the uppermost level, which served as the personnel’s main living and activity area.

The three floors below were where the actual biological experiments took place.

Besides the map, Lu Chao was also looking at a yellowed notebook in his hand—a diary he’d found in one of the researcher’s quarters.

"December 3, 2078. It’s freezing today, but that damn Jones is making me go down to Sub-level 3 to collect experimental data again..."

Reading the first entry, Lu Chao narrowed his eyes. He could roughly pinpoint the time period.

’This was the end of the old era and the beginning of the post-apocalyptic age.’

"May 12, 2079. The world has changed. Many animals have mutated into Mutant Beasts. They’re naturally bloodthirsty and difficult to control... I wonder how my family is doing..."

"January 7, 2080. Some Mutant Beasts are immune to bullets now, growing special armored scales. You need grenade launchers or bombs to kill them... I feel like the end of humanity is coming..."

"March 2, 2080. We’ve received orders to begin a new phase of biological research. We’re to find a path for human evolution and solve the threat posed by the Mutant Beasts..."

Lu Chao read through the entries. The diary belonged to a researcher who had been living here since before the apocalypse.

It chronicled everything from the first animal mutations to the shift in the direction of their biological research.

The entries continued until 2093, where they abruptly stopped.

"July 28, 2093. The Mira Country is gone. Our experiments have been suspended."

It was a simple sentence, deceptively calm, but Lu Chao could read the profound bitterness behind the words.

But after that...

"April 9, 2094. Our experiments have resumed!"

"Jones has taken control of the entire base! We have a chance to revive human civilization and build a new nation!"

The tone of the following entries grew increasingly suppressed. The writer was clearly a mid-to-high-level researcher, not just a low-level staff member.

And...

’The Mutant Beast Domestication and Biological Weapon Program!’

Lu Chao’s eyes narrowed.

A research project mentioned in the diary was classified as top-secret. He was starting to understand the implications, to guess what the three lower levels of the base must contain.

’Biological serums, captive humans, modified Mutant Beasts...’

Finally, he closed the diary and headed for the lower levels of the base.

According to the diary, the base contained a biological serum. It was a special concoction that could enhance human life and had been used during the post-apocalyptic era to create augmented soldiers whose individual strength could rival some Mutant Beasts.

He planned to see if any of it was left, whether it was still viable for injection to increase his Life Energy, or if he could find any formulas for creating the serum.

Furthermore...

"A savage beast, repeatedly modified, pushed beyond human limits."

This was another key point mentioned by the diarist, and the most crucial part of the "Mutant Beast Domestication and Biological Weapon Program."

After losing the powerful backing of the Mira Country, the research at this base hadn’t been scaled back. On the contrary, it had become completely unrestrained, with no taboos left.
