Lu Zhiyu had already finished preparing the deified cells he needed for the life alchemy ship. He used some animal genes alongside plant genes in the life template. This ship was a combination of plant and animal genes.

Using his mind power, he rose into the air and jumped onto the top of the broadside of the ship, from where he could saw a hole in the middle that led directly to the cabin below. Lu Zhiyu opened up a dimensional door and took this ship to the ocean. The ship splashed into the water and floated calmly.

He retrieved the deified cells and poured them onto the deck. The small puddle of blood dropped onto the deck and seemed to have its own life. It started wriggling and went for the inside of the plant cells.

Lu Zhiyu could immediately feel the drastic changes in the ship. The blood triggered a series of drastic chain reactions in the plant cells. He could see the white outer shell of the ship grow quickly, covering any signs of the cut recently made to the ship. At the end of the ship, two propellers appeared. The deck wriggled as well, becoming more refined.

Even more strangely, two eyes appeared on the front of the ship, as well as a mouth full of sharp teeth. It was as if a plant had become a carnivore and could hunt prey! It didnt have to rely solely on water and sunlight anymore. It could also hunt other organisms in the ocean. At the same time, the ships weak instincts from the plant genes were rapidly developing to the level of intelligence of a normal animal.

Lu Zhiyu opened up his dream space and dragged the mind of the ship into the dream space. He wanted to assimilate the ships mind. This ship was born from magic, but its mind was far off from Sakuns mind. Because of this, it only took a few moments for Lu Zhiyus dream space to completely assimilate the ship.

Then he walked into the cabin of the ship. It was completely empty, with no walls to divide it into rooms. He reached the front of the ship.

There, he poured another test tube of blood onto the ship and immediately a large volume of blood with deified cells flowed out. To create this life alchemy ship, hed really sacrificed a lot. Not much of the deified cells from Sakun remained. A few more experiments and it would all be gone. The blood pooled on the ground started to erode the wooden deck at once, forming a small brain-like lump on the ground.

Lu Zhiyu put the mind of the ship he had assimilated into the lump and it responded immediately as if it had been activated, Intelligent sub-brain II, await orders!

Then he immediately ordered, Take control of the life alchemy ship! Set my authority as the highest!

Completed!

Sub-brain I, transfer the first model of the SS Eternity alchemy ship!

Sub-brain II, accept it! Construction started!

Originally, Lu Zhiyu wanted to use his own deified cells to build this ship. However, he soon discovered that was not possible. All deified cell templates would automatically synchronize, meaning that if he used his own cells, his life template would become a ship. He didnt want this to lead to his body breaking down and becoming a ship. He would become a laughingstock!

However, using Sakuns cells meant that he did not own the ship and couldnt control it. If the ship decided to override his orders, he couldnt do anything about it. He had to use his dream space to control the ship by assimilating its mind and transforming it into another sub-brain to control the ship. This way, the ship became a sub-brain that was independent from Lu Zhiyus body. Its life template was independent from him, as well. It was like a computer that existed apart from him. Its growth wouldnt be limited by Lu Zhiyus mind power level and could grow as it would naturally do.

Lu Zhiyu had originally wanted to use Sakuns soul to control this second sub-brain, turning the ship into a real mythical alchemical ship under his control. However, it would be hard to extract Sakuns soul, as he had already completely assimilated the soul. Extracting it would mean that his mind power strength would decrease a lot, and he did not want that to happen.

SS Eternal began its first reconstruction mission under the command of sub-brain II. The ship utilized its plant cells and began generating energy using the sunlight it gathered and the water from the ocean, which were then stored in the plant cells.

The entire ship was changing again. Lu Zhiyu could see that where sub-brain II was located before was now covered by wood, the sub-brain itself sinking deep into the bowels of the ship. The hole under his feet was soon filled up.

The empty cabin was sectioned off into three floors, with an additional floor over the deck. However, there were no sails on this ship. The windows on the wall turned into round pores. They were like an animals shell but transparent. One could see through them.

The bottom level was the control room. This level included the living space Lu Zhiyu designed for himself and a storage unit. The second level contained the guest quarters, with almost three dozen small bedrooms and ten larger bedrooms. There were also numerous bathrooms.

The first level contained a large dining room, a library, and a small bar. There was also a meeting room, a living room, and some entertainment rooms. The topmost level was meant mostly for viewing the sea and relaxing.

Lu Zhiyu walked up the newly formed stairs, inspecting the alchemy ships insides. Just as he had predicted, the ships wood had inherited the iron birchs traits. It was very strong, and several more times durable than iron. With a structure like this, even if the ship was caught in a storm, it would be very hard to sink.

Right now, the inside of the ship was still empty, since it had just finished constructing itself. There were no furnishings in any of the rooms. Other than the rooms that had grown windows on the walls, the rest of the rooms, the hallways, and the staircases were all left with no lighting. This would be taken care of later.

Lu Zhiyu walked onto the deck and saw the propellers were spinning very quickly, pushing the ship to sail over the calm sea surface smoothly. The white tree bark covered the entire ship and looked like he had just given the ship a new coat of paint. The eyes on the bow were like two large floodlights, but they moved occasionally, letting everyone know that they were not just decorations.

The mouth was open, catching any fish unfortunate enough to be near. Instead of a ship, this was more like a huge beast in the sea. Lu Zhiyu had added two abilities to the life template. One was to control the water flow so it could make a quick getaway if something happened.

He tested it. In ordinary situations, the speed was at eighteen knots. In this era, no ship could catch up to it. If the water flow control was activated, the ship could reach thirty knots.

It wasnt just a ship though. After standing a while on the deck, Lu Zhiyu returned to the cabin. Then the cabin doors closed tightly and the ship started sinking, going under the sea surface to the bottom of the sea!

This could also become a submarine. Lu Zhiyu returned to the command room. He could see the front through the ships eyes. The two eyes on the ship could serve as lights to be used to observe the front.
