"Even in such a favorable situation we struggle to win, the soldiers under my command are truly deplorable, each one seemingly a waste... It seems training an army truly requires skill..."

The unsatisfactory outcome of the battle made Wang Zhifan realize he was not adept at commanding an army while spending every day cultivating in the royal palace. The few generals he had initially appointed to handle these matters had been assassinated, leaving him frustrated and with no choice but to leverage his personal strengths and take charge himself.

Thus, he first secretly assassinated the Tao Army's generals by imitating their tactics, then used ancestral symbols to control the Zutao Army to stampede over the Tao forces on the battlefield, destroying their morale. He later used the power of ice and storms to assist his troops in battle. Such intense efforts gradually solidified Feng Country's advantage, enabling Feng's forces to defeat the Tao Army one by one, capturing and occupying Tao Country's cities, ultimately dismantling Tao's realm and adding it to his dominion.

Three days later, within the palace of Tao Country.

Having specifically moved there to manage the situation, Wang Zhifan felt agitated because although he had already occupied Tao Country, governing it was unstable. He frequently had to send people to suppress rebels, and the territory's expansion brought multiplied miscellaneous affairs, making this endeavor burdensome, seemingly tailored to discomfit him.

"My King! Mr. Liou has awakened!"

At this moment, an attendant reported to him while he was reviewing official documents, making him raise his head with some doubt.

"Which Mr. Liou?"

He continued to question the attendant.

"My King, it is the Mr. Liou who was attacked and left unconscious by an assassin before the great battle; he has awoken from his coma."

The attendant appeared slightly embarrassed seeing he couldn't remember the individual, considering Wang Zhifan had personally promoted him from the army's lower ranks a month ago.

"Oh... How is he doing?"

With the reminder, Wang Zhifan finally recalled Mr. Liou was the only one among the three major generals he initially cultivated who hadn't been successfully assassinated. The other two, Mr. Sun from Feng Country and Mr. Liu from Yin Country, had already passed.

He should have visited this minister earlier, but due to many recent affairs, he had not only forgotten this matter but also nearly forgotten the individual.

"Reporting to the King, the physician says Mr. Liou is experiencing a brief rally before death and won't last for many days."

The attendant hurriedly explained further but did not elaborate more, as he only provided information and could not influence Wang Zhifan's decisions.

"Hmm... I shall go see him."

After brief deliberation, Wang Zhifan decided to visit, recalling Mr. Liou was someone he had personally promoted from the Yun Country Army's grassroots, who originally had great potential yet ended up in such a condition.

Some time later, riding a Red Deer Horse, he arrived at a military camp in the Yin Country where Mr. Liou had been placed. Upon entering the camp, he was quickly led inside by trembling subordinates, as they hadn't expected such a visit from the King.

On a fairly cushioned bed in the camp's corner, he saw Mr. Liou. This originally tall and robust man now had a face as pale as paper, slightly bluish lips, lying there like a rigid dead fish yet with eyes open and capable of slight movement. Seeing the King enter, his expression turned somewhat excited but remained immobile and silent.

"My King, Mr. Liou is deeply poisoned; surviving until today is a miracle... We are powerless to help any further."

The old physician accompanying him explained quickly when Wang Zhifan came to check, stating not that he didn't wish to save the prominent figure, but lacked the capability.

"Hmm, I don't blame you for being unable to save him... Let me have a go."

Casually replying to the old doctor, Wang Zhifan began his operation. He came not merely to see his minister one last time but with an experimental mindset.

Then, under the surprised gaze of the old physician, he took out an iron box-like object from his portable space, which then expanded swiftly on the camp ground into a sizeable iron specimen, its design full of novelty unseen by the doctor.

"The Biological Transformation Pod can also be used for treatment; hopefully the remaining energy inside can save you."

What Wang Zhifan had taken out was indeed an extraordinary-grade Biological Transformation Pod, one he used to perform cosmetic surgery on a village girl from the Wuji Sect World previously; recalling some energy remained after its use, now it could be put to good use.

Quickly, Wang Zhifan activated the high-tech device, opened the pod door, and instructed nearby hands to cautiously transfer Mr. Liou inside. He then closed the pod door to begin full-body scanning.

Unexpectedly, the results were better than he imagined; not only was there sufficient electricity to solve Mr. Liou's physical issues but an additional enhancement option was available.

"Hurry, fetch some clean well water for me! Mr. Liou can be saved!"

Receiving this scan result, he immediately called on subordinates to fetch water, gathering the basic materials needed for the Biological Transformation Device as fast as possible. Then, he set the program on the control panel of the transformation pod, injecting strong recovery genes to restore the dismal physical condition and performed physique enhancement as it suited his occupational positioning.

"A problem solved in one day, I should have charged this more... the 1000KW diesel generator really is powerful."

Watching the Biological Transformation Pod running, Wang Zhifan suddenly realized he overlooked many aspects in previous duplicate preparations; never focusing on the transformation pod, often tossing it into the Deceit Realm – had it not been used for that village girl's cosmetic surgery, it might not be in the portable space now.

"My portable space is already sufficiently large; previously inconvenient items can all fit inside. If I had brought the Monster Nest into this duplicate too, I might have cleared it by now... quite a notable oversight."

He pondered that he originally could speed through this duplicate but now faced trouble due to negligence, having only conquered two small countries already leaving him somewhat overwhelmed, wary of how much longer the ensuing grand endeavor would take.

This thought flashed across his mind and he arranged for others to guard the area and keep everyone away from the transformation pod before departing, as he remained very busy, with numerous matters needing his attention, unable to stay and wait.

Of course, to ensure the exceptional-grade item's safety, apart from deploying subordinates, he also secretively left a Dream Me Avatar for protection, while planning to work in the nearby Yin Country, allowing immediate relocation if issues arose here.

Thus, under his arrangement, Mr. Liou, initially on the verge of death, experienced a complete shift in fate, forcibly being pulled back from the ghost gate. However, no one anticipated at this point that his casual action not only saved a subordinate's life but also kickstarted the genuine rise of a future renowned general, even creating a formidable lineage for this world.

This was partly due to the timing, as the world was approaching intense war cycles naturally fostering great generals, and partly because he substantially reinforced Mr. Liou's genes through the Biological Transformation Pod, allowing inheritance down generations, enabling even descendants without glorious command skills of ancestors to become valiant generals, supported by physical advantage and military family influence.
