Their steps were heavy, and Xia Dou's tears welled up instantly. Gua Yan's eyes also reddened, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Chen Yuan sighed helplessly and let out a deep sigh.
Chapter 220 Bai Yuekui's Second Ability
That is the cruelty of war: no matter how well prepared you are, sacrifices are always unavoidable.
He could lead them to victory, but he couldn't bring the dead back to life.
This sense of powerlessness was heavy even for him.
"Lord, let's go back too!"
Mark's voice rang out from the side; his arm was still in a brace, and the End Watcher mech needed nano-repair.
Ran Bing stood quietly beside him, equally covered in wounds.
"Ah."
Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze. "There are still many things to take care of. By the way, how is Charles?"
“His vital signs are stable, but he is still unconscious. Jiu Ge said that his mental energy was greatly depleted and he needs time to recover,” Ran Bing explained.
Chen Yuan nodded and, along with the four council chairmen, Cangming, and the core members of the Inferno, Blood Rose, Lan, and Shadow Squad who had been treated and stabilized, returned to the lighthouse suspended high in the sky.
The medical area was instantly overcrowded, and the Lighthouse's repair robots began emergency assessments and repairs of the damaged mechs.
……
The following morning, in Longgu Village.
After a night of recovery, Chen Yuan, who was originally injured, may have benefited from the misfortune. His physical potential was boosted to 200% under the stimulation of the perfect-grade gene serum, which was already the limit.
Chen Yuan entered Dragon Bone Village, changed into clean casual clothes, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were very determined.
"Is there something you need to tell me?"
Bai Yuekui got up very early and came over when she learned that Chen Yuan was looking for her.
Chen Yuan walked to her side and stood beside her. "I can now fulfill the promise I made back then."
He flipped his hand, and a potion flowing with beautiful internal light appeared in his palm. It was the Seed of Origin, the Perfect Gene Potion.
Upon seeing this scene, Bai Yuekui's gaze was instantly drawn to it. She could sense the indescribable, boundless vitality and mysterious aura contained within the potion.
"This medicine can really solve the problem of your cells failing."
Chen Yuan muttered to himself, then handed it to her, his gaze sweeping over Xu Tong, Sui Xing, and the others below who were helping with village affairs.
Bai Yuekui wasn't being coy; she knew what it meant.
Reaching out to take the medicine, the icy touch felt as if it carried a burning heat.
"This thing must be very precious, right? What kind of power do beings from higher dimensions possess?"
"I don't know either. I don't really know with my brain. Just enjoy it."
Chen Yuan said frankly, "Life is just a game. I think the most important thing is to live well, eat well, and sleep well. Thinking too much only adds to your troubles."
Chen Yuan looked at her and said solemnly, "I know you are stubborn, uh, I misspoke, I know you are meticulous. If you want to uncover the truth of this world, then go for it. But first you need to live healthily and become stronger, so that you will have the time and energy to slowly uncover the truth of this world."
Bai Yuekui took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.
She found a relatively flat rock to sit on, stared at the lifelike potion in her hand, and suddenly plunged the needle into her carotid artery.
Perhaps due to differences in physical constitution or cell deterioration, her experience was different from Chen Yuan's gentle one.
The moment the medicine was injected, Bai Yuekui felt a surge of heat sweep through every inch of his meridians and every cell.
Bai Yuekui groaned, his body trembling violently, his forehead instantly covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
It's not destruction within the body, but a domineering, more thorough reconstruction.
The cellular deterioration in Boss Bai's body, which had been like a time bomb constantly eroding the very essence of life, melted away rapidly in the face of this miraculous medicine, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
As if possessing the power of evolution, cells on the verge of death are forcibly injected with vitality, and broken gene chains are safely unraveled by the topological gene engine, and then recombined and strengthened with a perfect, more optimized sequence.
The pain was intense. Bai Yuekui frowned slightly, feeling as if his flesh and bones had been shattered and then rebuilt.
She gritted her teeth and remained silent, her will hardened by countless brushes with death.
Chen Yuan watched quietly from the side. He could feel the life force emanating from Bai Yuekui growing stronger and purer at an astonishing speed.
His aura broke through, reaching the peak of the fifth rank.
In an instant, a crisp sound, as if some kind of shackle had been broken, resounded deep within Bai Yuekui's soul.
The strength that had stagnated or even regressed due to cell depletion was not only instantly restored to its former peak state, but also broke through the bottleneck.
His strength has increased to the early stage of the sixth rank.
A powerful energy wave emanated from her, causing the pebbles on the ground to tumble slightly.
Bai Yuekui's physical perception became more acute, and his understanding and control of the life essence were elevated to a new level.
But this is just the beginning.
The potential of the Perfect Gene Agent goes far beyond this.
The power of evolution continues, frantically strengthening her foundation.
80 times better physical fitness…
100 times... 120 times... 150 times...
Her muscle fibers became stronger and denser, her bone density soared, and she possessed explosive power.
Its neural reaction speed is faster than imagined, its dynamic vision can easily capture objects moving at ultra-high speed, the functions of its internal organs are optimized to the extreme, and its self-healing ability reaches an unbelievable level.
Ultimately, this comprehensive enhancement gradually stalled when it reached 180 times the basic human qualities.
This is not because the medication has run out of power, but rather because her body has reached a perfect balance at this stage.
Correspondingly, Bai Yuekui's life level and energy level also naturally leaped up again.
Boss Bai's strength eventually reached the mid-stage of the sixth rank.
Bai Yuekui slowly opened his eyes. His already clear and bright eyes were now even more profound, as if they contained the stars and the universe.
She gently clenched her fist, the air crackling softly in her palm. The surging power within her gave her a confidence that she could cut through anything.
The chronic illness that had plagued Bai Yuekui for many years was not only completely eliminated, but his strength also reached an unprecedented peak.
Just then, Bai Yuekui raised his hand with a look of surprise in his eyes, and his mind stirred slightly.
It is neither mobilizing the life essence nor using the power of returning to the origin.
In the air in front of her fingertips, the light in one area suddenly began to distort, and the flow of time seemed to subtly change.
A withered leaf that fell from the sky entered that area and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes.
Another tender leaf that had also fallen into the area seemed to be frozen in time, ceasing to sway.
Yes, Boss Bai awakened his second source ability, which belongs to the time system and allows him to control a portion of time.
Essence: Initial interference with the flow rate at local time.
Time Acceleration: Applies an effect that speeds up the flow of time to a specified small area or a single target. It can be used to accelerate enemy aging, wound deterioration, and energy consumption, or to accelerate plant growth and wound healing. However, the effect on the user is halved and the cost is huge.
Time Delay: Creates a small area where time slows down, greatly slowing down the enemy's attack speed, movement speed, and even thought speed, creating an excellent opportunity for you to attack or evade.
Bai Yuekui felt a wisp of time power flowing through his fingertips, and a look of shock and enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
She looked at Chen Yuan, her voice regaining its usual coolness, but now carrying an unfathomable depth.
"Chen Yuan, I think I've... touched something incredible."
Chapter 221 Devouring Beast Plane
Chen Yuan stared in amazement at the distorted light and the illogical phenomena emanating from her fingertips.
No wonder he's a person with great fortune; he even managed to acquire the ability to time. It's as if the heavens are vying to feed him.
He smiled slightly: "Looks like I'll have to rely on you from now on. Let's get down to business. I can open the Star Vortex Channel now. Are you ready?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuekui was slightly taken aback.
……
Longgu Village, quarantine zone.
Having gone through so much, Chen Yuan knew that passive defense was not a long-term solution, and if the source of the Mana ecosystem was not found, the disaster would never end.
Perhaps only by opening the Star Vortex Channel can we learn more.
Chen Yuan opened the system and spent a full ten million survival points in the system shop to exchange for a special device full of super high technology, which was the space teleporter.
This device has a unique shape. The main body is a silver-white metal ring suspended half a meter above the ground, about three meters in diameter. The ring is covered with complex patterns that flow with a dark blue energy, which is a manifestation of space folding technology.
The center of the ring is not a solid entity, but a constantly rotating dark void that seems to contain the starry sky.
Several auxiliary units connected around the device continuously perform massive data calculations, emitting a low, converging sound of energy.
Only Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui were present; they didn't want anyone else to know for the time being.
"Loongson, scan and detect, start the instrument, lock it..." Chen Yuan gave the instructions.
"Command confirmed. Cross-plane space scan in progress. Ding! Residual energy of a high-dimensional energy node stellar spiral detected... Initiating location simulation... Space folding algorithm loading..."
As energy was continuously injected, the rotating darkness at the center of the ring began to change.
The dark blue energy patterns grew brighter and brighter, eventually converging and twisting at the center of the ring. A rotating channel, radiating an ominous scarlet light, was forcibly torn open and gradually stabilized.
The Starfall Passage has been successfully opened.
Bai Yuekui was extremely shocked. He had actually succeeded, and succeeded on the first try. It was simply unbelievable.
This passage is unlike any star vortex I've ever seen before.
It was more stable, its edges bound by a deep blue spatial energy, but the interior of the passage was a bottomless, chilling dark red.
The dense, crimson mist churned at the entrance of the passage, seemingly trying to seep outwards as if it were alive, but was firmly blocked by the energy field of the space teleporter.
Just standing at the entrance of the passage, Chen Yuan could feel a wild, violent aura, full of a devouring will, rushing towards him, making his soul tremble.
