Chapter 602: Chapter 567: Invitation

Li Wei searched through all the books in the Saint Villia Library.

But he found no solution to Demon Seed parasitism.

He was already a Legendary Level Mage and a council member of the Elemental Tower.

He had access to every book in the Saint Villia Library.

In other words, the Elemental Tower’s entire collection was open to him.

Yet, even with all this, he found no solution. The situation was clear.

The ancients had not recorded any methods for dealing with Demon Seed parasitism.

Considering the Demon Calamity happened in ancient times, any solutions that might have existed were likely long lost.

Li Wei realized he would have to find a solution to the Demon Calamity himself.

After much thought, he went to find the Master of Truth Hall.

The Master of Truth Hall looked at Li Wei in surprise. "You want to start a research project on the Demon Seed?"

He said, looking troubled, "But the Demon Seed has been gone for ten thousand years. Even if we wanted to research it, we lack specimens."

"A while ago, there were rumors from the north about Demon Seeds appearing, but so far, no one has seen them with their own eyes."

Li Wei knew why. It was probably because the place where the Demon Seeds had appeared was the Extreme North Icefield.

The Extreme North Icefield was a godforsaken place; it was normal for no one to go in or out for decades.

So it was also normal that news of the Demon Seeds hadn’t spread.

Li Wei, however, wasn’t worried about research specimens. He had a Demon Tree.

The Demon Tree could grow Demon Seeds, and after the Demon Seeds parasitized animals, they would produce Demonized Creatures.

That would provide all the research materials he needed.

Li Wei said, "I’ve been to the Extreme North Icefield. A Demon Calamity has indeed broken out there. I also obtained a Demon Tree from the Icefield that can grow Demon Seeds. Using it to produce research specimens shouldn’t be a problem."

The Master of Truth Hall was stunned. "What? You have a Demon Tree?"

Li Wei took the frozen Demon Tree out of his Magic Space.

The Master of Truth Hall examined it carefully, a look of delighted surprise on his face.

"With a Demon Tree, getting a research project on Demon Seeds approved shouldn’t be an issue. I’ll go speak with the Tower Master right away."

Li Wei said, "I hope to be the lead researcher for the Demon Seed research project."

"That... I can’t guarantee."

The Master of Truth Hall was in a difficult position.

After all, getting a project approved and becoming its leader were two different things.

The former was proposing a new research direction, which anyone could do.

Becoming the leader meant being the head of a research team, taking full responsibility for the entire project, and having independent authority over it.

Even he wouldn’t be able to interfere with the leader’s research strategies.

At most, he could only pause or halt the project’s progress.

Li Wei said, "Didn’t the Tower Master say yesterday that he wanted to compensate me? Why not use this as my compensation?"

Hearing this, the Master of Truth Hall nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go ask."

Since Li Wei had provided a source for the materials needed to research the Demon Seed, and with the compensation the Tower Master had promised him the day before, his project to open a brand-new lab to study the Demon Seed and Demonized Creatures was quickly approved.

He naturally became the head of the Demon Seed Research Room.

He was given full authority over the Demon Seed research work.

The Master of Truth Hall also assigned a few scholars suited for studying the Demon Seed to join the Demon Seed Research Room.

The Demon Seed had always existed, but to this day, it has never been fully understood.

However, the Elemental Tower wasn’t particularly interested in researching the Demon Seed.

The Alchemy Tower, on the other hand, would probably place great importance on researching the Demon Seed and Demonized Creatures.

The Elemental Tower was still more inclined toward Elemental Magic research.

Therefore, the security level for Li Wei’s Demon Seed Research Room was not very high.

It was merely classified as a Level One Secret Research Lab.

The Elemental Tower’s research lab classifications, from highest to lowest, were: Core Top-Secret, Top-Secret, Level One Secret, Level Two Secret, Level Three Secret, and Public.

Li Wei had no objections to the security classification of the Demon Seed Research Room.

The higher a lab’s level, the more resources it received.

Li Wei only wanted to study how to suppress and even reverse Demonization. He didn’t plan to research much beyond that, so his resource requirements weren’t very high.

Besides, if his research produced results that were of significant use to the Elemental Tower, the lab’s level would be raised, and the resources would increase as well.

When the scholars of the Hall of Truth heard they were being transferred to a brand-new research lab, none of them were very willing.

They became even more reluctant when they heard the research subjects were the Demon Seed and Demonized Creatures.

"What is this? We’re scholars of Elemental Magic. How are we supposed to get any results by studying biological specimens?"

"Exactly! I have no idea what the Hall Master was thinking. Why open a research lab that seems so useless?"

"I pray I don’t get picked."

"Did you hear? The head of the new research lab is Li Wei."

"Li Wei? The newcomer who played a key role in the Sunshine Research Room?"

"So what if it’s him? Sunshine and Demon Seeds are completely different fields. Just because he’s good at researching Sunshine doesn’t mean he’ll be good at researching Demon Seeds."

Regardless of the grumbling from the Hall of Truth scholars, the Demon Seed Research Room was established.

The first batch of scholars the Master of Truth Hall assigned to Li Wei consisted of fewer than ten people.

Li Wei also found a site within the Hall of Truth and planted the Demon Tree.

He would nurture the Demon Tree, harvest the Demon Seeds, and use the Demon Seeds to induce Demonization in animals, Magic Beasts, and plants for research.

The entire process was very clear.

Li Wei also gave the scholars of the Demon Seed Research Room a clear and specific goal:

To find a way to suppress Demonization, and even reverse it.

Although the scholars of the Demon Seed Research Room were reluctant to join, after receiving Li Wei’s orders, they all began working toward the direction he had set.
