The Di Star Comprehensive Technology and Medical Research Center.
A group of top experts from the Di Star medical community gathered, looking at the examination reports in their hands, completely at a loss.
"So curses really exist in this world. This thing is neither a virus nor any physiological abnormality. It's somewhat similar to the damage caused by energy ore radiation, but we can't even treat energy ore radiation damage now.
Let alone this so-called curse!"
"What should we do? Give up treatment directly, or continue to persist in injecting them with life-extending agents?
If we continue, the cost will be terrifying!"
"Have you tried temporary cryonic stasis?"
"We have tried, but it's useless. Even in a state of cryonic stasis, their lifespan and life essence are still being continuously eroded and lost by an unknown energy. The one used for experimental freezing just died of old age."
"Then there's no other option, let's give up. We definitely won't be able to find a complete solution to this so-called curse in a short time. Now, they consume hundreds of vials of life-extending agents per day. If this continues for two or three days, we won't be able to afford it even if we sell them!"
"That's right, let's give up. The raw materials for making life-extending agents are already quite scarce, and countless people seek them every year. We shouldn't waste them on this!"
"It's just a shame that there are no research samples left. That cursed energy can only be detected and observed on living bodies.
Once the host dies.
The cursed energy will also quickly dissipate."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Our annual research funding is only around ten billion. We can't possibly spend the research funds of the next few years, or even decades, on this. Let's stop injecting them with life-extending agents immediately and use instruments to record their entire process from now until death in detail.
These records will be the final research samples!"
"Understood..."
After a brief consultation based on the current situation, the decision to abandon treatment was made. No matter how much the President of the Beastmen Alliance Council and other council members pleaded or guaranteed they were willing to pay, it did not change their decision.
Over the next few dozen, or even hundreds of minutes, they could only be manipulated by the researchers and placed into various detection instruments, as they had voluntarily accepted treatment and injections of the corresponding agents, rendering them defenseless. This allowed for accurate recording of their body's changes every moment.
Recording the fluctuations of the curse, the entire process of their life force vanishing, and detailed changes at every level, from genes to bloodlines.
In just a few hours.
The cursed beastmen who received treatment all died of depleted lifespans, each one appearing almost like a dried corpse.
If Ding Yun had not previously displayed her strength, the Human Alliance Council would likely have used this as an excuse to attack Ding Yun, or even personally go to deal with Ding Yun, to bring her back alive for research.
However, the strength Ding Yun had previously displayed was too terrifying. Not only was it no less than that of a star destroyer cannon, but its maneuverability and threat level might even be a notch higher. The Human Alliance Council, unable to make up its mind, could only pretend to be unaware for the time being.
Ignoring the situation on the beastmen's planet.
Allowing Ding Yun to act freely.
When they eventually researched any useful information or data, or developed a method to deal with Ding Yun.
It wouldn't be too late to settle old scores.
It was precisely for this reason that more than ten days after the President of the Beastmen Alliance Council and many of his like-minded council members died from the curse, the Human Alliance Council remained inactive. Even council members who sought the Human Alliance Council's help were only met with the reply that the Human Alliance Council would not interfere in planetary internal affairs.
Seeing this, the remaining opposition was completely despairing.
Ding Yun then took the opportunity to announce the deaths of all personnel and stated that she had never intended to take their lives. If they had personally come to her, kowtowed, and apologized, she might have even helped them lift the curse.
But who knew that she had taken leave for the past few days and stayed at home, waiting for such a long time, and not a single person came to apologize. This showed that they were stubborn criminals who would rather die than admit their mistakes, and had no remorse.
Subsequently, Ding Yun, following standard procedures, activated the emergency plan for the beastmen's planet. The so-called emergency plan meant that if the President died unexpectedly, even if it was not yet time for elections, a new presidential election must be held immediately. Also, if the number of deaths among the seventy-two governors and council members exceeded double digits, an emergency election for governors would also be required.
This was to minimize the vacancy period.
The general meaning was that the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day, and the gap in government officials cannot be too large.
With the activation of the emergency plan, due to the excessive number of council members missing, the election of governors and council members began first. In this regard, corporate groups belonging to gene humans and espers in various regions were all exerting their influence.
Hoping to promote people who listened to them to power.
Then, during the election for the new president, they would cast their votes for someone else, denying Ding Yun a chance to ascend to power.
This way, the difficulty for Ding Yun to legitimately and legally become the president of the council undoubtedly increased several times. Either she had to compromise, or she could only resort to a coup and find a way to directly become the president.
And just as they were gloating.
Thinking they had won a round.
Ding Yun, unhurriedly, directly dispatched her disciples who had already become Venerables. They were instructed to cancel the governor elections in various regions according to the notes in the emergency plan, and they would directly succeed as new governors.
That's right, the emergency plan had notes. It stated that considering the possibility of the beastmen's planet facing an extinction crisis if a large number of governors died, the emergency plan specifically noted that in such a situation, if a Venerable was willing to take on the position of governor for a certain area, they could skip the election process and directly become the new governor.
The reason was to prevent excessive chaos.
Elections would waste time.
It was even possible that some regions had already fallen and elections could not be conducted. Therefore, this note was specifically added when setting up the emergency plan.
This was precisely what Ding Yun utilized.
She directly canceled the governor elections and selected forty-eight of her Venerable realm disciples to succeed as governors in the forty-eight states where the governors had died and were missing.
The beastmen's planet had a total of seventy-two states.
Forty-eight states already constituted the vast majority.
In a de facto sense, Ding Yun's position as president was secure. Although she had revealed many of her trump cards so early and become president years ahead of schedule, which was a significant deviation from her original plan, plans were always subject to change, and she could only adapt to the situation.
While dispatching forty-eight disciples to take over the positions of governors, she also dispersed her remaining disciples to other planets, accelerating all her plans.
And the next step was to deal with whatever came their way.
