The Water Rabbit chomps on the carrot in big bites.
The passage is filled with the crunching sounds.
In the end, led by the Demon Bear, Ye Bai reaches the exit not far from the lake.
At this moment, Ye Bai is already in disguise. He wears a golden wig, his pupils turned blue, and speaks fluent foreign languages, so that no one would suspect he's from Flame Country.
Meanwhile, at a certain location within New Covenant University.
Agents dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses all lower their heads, being harshly scolded by a leader from the intelligence department.
"Are you guys pigs?"
"You were supposed to protect Dr. William, and now he's missing."
"You were tasked with finding the essence of the Philosopher's Stone that Dr. William created, and after searching for a whole half month, you haven't even seen a shadow of it."
"You're trying to infuriate me, so you can take my place, aren't you?"
The leader yelled his head off.
A higher rank can crush you with its weight, so these agents, who could fly through the sky and travel through the ground, obediently accepted the leader's rebuke.
They didn't even dare to breathe heavily, afraid of being targeted by the leader, and fired the next day with a foot in the office.
"Now, with many students at New Covenant University, it makes our job even more difficult."
"Do any of you have good ideas to prevent the students inside from taking the essence of the Philosopher's Stone out of here?"
After scolding them until his mouth went dry, the leader finally stopped.
"Sir, I have a suggestion. We can set up Space Pet Beasts capable of detection in the main passages of New Covenant University."
"At the same time, we should also deploy the sharpest-sniffing Shar-Pei to guard the main passage."
"That way, we can keep the essence of the Philosopher's Stone at New Covenant University to the greatest extent."
The leader looked at this person as if he were an idiot.
"Do you have a pig's brain?"
"Isn't that exactly what we're doing right now?"
"Please, use your brain more before speaking up."
The agents' suggestions were all rejected by the leader.
Finally, one agent suggested using a Pet Beast capable of Future Prediction to help them find the essence of the Philosopher's Stone.
The leader was at a loss for words. The essence of the Philosopher's Stone is beyond space, beyond time, and not controlled by fate.
He couldn't even fathom how Dr. William managed to create something that only gods could create.
Something so grand, how could an ordinary Pet Beast foresee the location of the Philosopher's Stone?
The leader let out a long sigh.
He waved his hand, signaling the agents to continue searching for the essence of the Philosopher's Stone.
At that moment, a holy light descended from the sky, turning everything around into daylight.
A Holy Mark appeared on the leader's forehead.
His eyes turned to the shape of a cross.
Golden halos, pure white wings emerged one after another.
"Glory Angel."
"How goes the search for the Philosopher's Stone?"
"After all, it's our source of energy to create angels."
The holy light looked down on the Glory Angel.
A awe-inspiring pressure made the Glory Angel kneel on the ground.
"Reporting to the Right Angel, sir."
"I am currently still searching extensively for the whereabouts of the essence of the Philosopher's Stone."
"Dr. William, who created the essence of the Philosopher's Stone, is now missing."
"The formula for creating the essence is also currently missing."
After hearing this, the holy light paused for a few seconds.
"The whereabouts of William are not important, his mission is complete."
"The great God has already used his hands to bring the Philosopher's Stone back into the world."
"We can use the essence of the Philosopher's Stone as a starting point to gradually erode the Crystal Wall of the entire Blue Star."
"Currently, the Crystal Wall impacts us too much, causing High Tier angels on Blue Star to only exhibit Low Tier angel strength, making them easily countered by humans, and our Divine Crystals could become their spoils of war."
"Currently, the Angel Army has discovered that the Crystal Wall above Sea God Abyss is the thinnest."
"We have already dispatched a large army to guard near the Crystal Wall of Sea God Abyss, waiting for the essence of the Philosopher's Stone to successfully break the Crystal Wall. Once the Crystal Wall has the slightest crack, the Angel Army can enter Blue Star through the cracks."
"So make sure you find the essence of the Philosopher's Stone, do you understand?"
The Right Angel finished speaking, then vanished into light.
It cannot stay on Blue Star too long, otherwise, it'll be directly cleared by the Crystal Wall.
Unless someone is willing to become a vessel for the divine descent of the Right Angel, it can then evade the clearing of the Crystal Wall.
However, a person possessed by an angel will die within a short time.
Seeing the disappearance of the Right Angel, the Glory Angel returned to human form, tidied up a bit, pushed open the door, and walked out.
New Covenant University is so large that its alumni purchase lands around the school every year and donate them to the university.
It's like a small town here, filled with researchers everywhere.
They're recklessly discussing research topics and projects.
Ye Bai, mingling among the researchers, gained quite a bit of inspiration.
"By the way, have you heard? The body of the Fighting Wolf is almost at its limit."
"Well, it is an Exotic Beast cloned from the corpse of an ancient Fighting Wolf, so it can't hold up for long."
"I heard that once the Fighting Wolf dies, it will be made into a specimen, and all research on it will be sealed."
"Cloning a Fighting Wolf is extremely costly, even New Covenant University can't afford to be so wasteful."
Ye Bai acquired information from these researchers that the Fighting Wolf is about to die.
It's dying due to genetic collapse. Once the Fighting Wolf is dead, all research data will be sealed in the university's archive, unless someone from the presidential level decides to restart the research, otherwise, the data will be left to gather dust in the archive.
Ye Bai remembered the archive as a place of interest.
Various research from New Covenant University is stored in the archive.
As for the exact location of the archive, nobody knows, only high-ranking officials might know its whereabouts.
If that's truly the case, entering the archive would allow Ye Bai to use his Memory Palace talent to review all the materials inside.
It would be even better if there were electronic records.
Having gathered enough information, Ye Bai retraced the way he came with the Demon Bear and returned to the presidential suite.
Just then, a blonde, blue-eyed butler walked in, pushing a dining cart.
"Hello, I am your exclusive butler, Alice."
"If you need anything, you can press the button, and whatever I'm doing, I'll be here within a minute."
"Let me introduce today's dinner for you."
"The starter is white tuna cheek meat, lightly grilled and paired with pine nut sauce."
Alice opened the serving dish, and Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.
"White tuna cheek meat is rich in oil, and after a light grill, it exudes a strong roasted aroma, combined with the slightly bitter pine nut sauce, it is indeed quite good."
"But I feel this combination is too greasy."
"Wouldn't it be better if we replaced it with sea salt lemon sauce or herb mint sauce?"
As Ye Bai finished speaking, Alice took out these two sauces.
"Honored guest, we also have these sauces prepared."
"However, today's chef insists that the white tuna paired with pine nut sauce is the perfect choice."
"You should give it a try."
After listening to Alice's recommendation, Ye Bai cut open the roasted white tuna with a small knife.
He dipped it in pine nut sauce and put it in his mouth.
A rich pine nut aroma reverberated in his mouth, accompanied by a slight sour vinegary taste, which completely neutralized the oiliness in his mouth.
"I see. It's because of the addition of Mediterranean black vinegar."
"This black vinegar is brewed from persimmons and, after decades of aging, has had its tartness mellowed over time."
"Such black vinegar carries a subtle, sweet taste of persimmons."
"I take back what I said earlier, today's white tuna indeed pairs wonderfully with the pine nut sauce."
