“No way!” Yao Han Su and the others almost spoke in unison to oppose it.
They could accept Liu Zhenghong's current state, although each of them felt regretful about a top-notch researcher losing consciousness. But after all, he was just a researcher — a top one, but not to the degree of being a ‘master.’ Given time, they could nurture another one.
But Ye Zhongming was different. This person was too crucial right now.
The Su Lai Alliance is divided into four parts: the Su Clan Alliance, the Lena People Alliance, the alliance of other races led by the Musk Ke People, and the Alliance of Small Races led by Cloud Summit.
The first few need not be mentioned; why did Cloud Summit become one of the four poles? First, it had the strong support of the Library Palace. Second, it united many small races. Third, and most importantly, there was Ye Zhongming.
With Ye Zhongming around, the demand for equipment after the dwarves were gone was excellently filled. Now, Cloud Summit had become the largest weapon supplier in the entire Su Lai Alliance. Without the dwarves' greed, the quality was comparable and even slightly better, and the people of the Su Lai Alliance had tasted enough benefits.
With such a person around, they didn’t have to worry about weaponry.
Moreover, as Ye Zhongming’s skills continuously improved, he was now proficient at manufacturing Half Artifacts. Given that artifacts were not something everyone could have, Half Artifacts were the best equipment available.
In the future, this person was bound to create extremely powerful artifacts.
Therefore, every member of the Su Lai Alliance looked at Ye Zhongming with great fondness now. There was no way around it; in battle, good equipment could significantly improve survival rates. Ye Zhongming was essentially a lifesaver for them to some extent.
How could someone like this take risks?
Furthermore, Ye Zhongming was the bond of the entire Su Lai Alliance and the central figure of the younger core generation.
Although the Su Alliance was currently in a united state, the major clans of the Su Clan, Lena Planet, and Musk Ke Star couldn’t be without some differences and conflicts. To eliminate these, a long period of adjustment was necessary. At this time, they needed someone to act as a ‘lubricant,’ and Ye Zhongming was undoubtedly that person. He had good relationships with every faction, and he himself represented a significant force. With him mediating in between, many things would undoubtedly be easier to handle, and conflicts could be resolved well, avoiding any lingering grudges.
The younger generation of Jie Su and Pao Bai in particular regarded Ye Zhongming as their boss. Each of these people was a genius, but when faced with the decision-maker of Cloud Summit, they felt somewhat inferior. They were struggling in the realm of peak experts, while Ye Zhongming had already stepped into the pinnacle, and his strength was no longer at the bottom of the peak. Given time, he would surely become a new Old Dean.
How could someone like this take risks? If something happened, the entire alliance's prospects would dim.
At this time, the researcher could no longer speak. He consciously retreated to a corner, appearing as if he knew nothing.
Ye Zhongming sighed lightly, “I know everyone is concerned about me, but aside from this method, there are no other choices, right? Are we just going to watch this giant float outside? Watch Sister Hong remain unconscious like this?”
“If we do nothing, what if Sister Hong can no longer control this giant? I don’t want Sister Hong to have an accident, nor do I want to be taken down by this potentially crazy false slave clan at any moment.”
“If there were other options, I wouldn’t take this risk, but there aren’t, right?”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

Ye Zhongming lay on the experimental bed, connected to various instruments.
Outside the lab, a group of big shots watched from behind the glass, each with a serious expression.
