1891 A Long Time Later
The surrounding “jellyfish” sensed Meng Chao’s presence.
They were all blossoming like full buds, revealing layers of complicated internal structures.
The delicate structure within them that resembled a fiber tube of a plant also blossomed as if it could be expanded infinitely. It was just like a certain high-dimensional structure in a low-dimensional world that was expanded to billions of times its original size.
From the middle of the “buds” that were unfurling infinitely, thousands of translucent tentacles wriggled slowly like nerves and extended out.
The tentacles danced in the air and continued to grow as they swam toward Meng Chao.
!!
Meng Chao was deeply drawn to the mysterious yet exquisite scene. He subconsciously extended his finger toward one of the tentacles.
The tendrils gently wrapped around his fingertips and pierced through the gaps in his nails.
“Gasp!” Meng Chao exclaimed and jumped out of the medical pod.
He looked around in a daze. He felt that he had slept for ages and had a very long dream.
He dreamed of his life half a century ago. He had gone to high school and then to university before he entered society and explored the ancient ruins.
This dream was too long and too realistic.
It was so realistic that it left him in a temporary daze. He could not remember what year it was and who he was.
Meng Chao lowered his head and looked at the gene serum he was soaking in.
He instinctively sensed that it was a high-energy liquid that was more abundant than the blood of the Apocalyptic Beasts. It contained more powerful spirit energy but was also gentler and more stable.
It seemed that the blood, spinal fluid, and the adrenaline gland extract of the top ten rampaging beasts in the Other World had all been extracted. After that, they were tempered and stabilized with Holy Light magic. It took an astronomical number of resources and lives to extract just a little.
If ordinary superhumans could even obtain a single drop, it would be enough to revive the dead and surpa.s.s the limits.
Yet, he was being so extravagant. He was taking a bath and even falling asleep in this unique super gene serum?
The corners of Meng Chao’s lips twitched. With a thought, he slowly floated up from the medical pod.
Then, he noticed that he was hundreds of times stronger than half a century ago. Every cell was crystal clear and full of vitality as if he had broken through the limits of natural decay and could stay healthy and strong forever.
“My body…”
Meng Chao took a deep breath. The air never felt so fresh, and the world was so clear. It was as if he could see through the structure of every oxygen particle in the air around him with just a casual glance. The ripples that represented radio waves and the Internet of Things were also visible to him. He could guide every wisp of spirit energy that was wandering in the world into his body through the thousands of pores on his skin.
He raised his right wrist, opened his fingers, and carefully examined his palm.
His palm was extremely flexible. The surging spirit energy gathered in his palm through the dense and precise spirit meridians that had been rearranged and combined. It was like an active volcano that could erupt and close at his will.
On the surface, his skin glowed with a metallic l.u.s.ter. Every cell on his skin could harden instantly and block all attacks, from peerless divine weapons to railway guns.
This was a perfect body that any carbon-based intelligent creature could only dream of.
He was only one step away from the Ancients hundreds of millions of years ago.
“Ever since I explored the deepest part of the ancient ruins with Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao’s guidance, I accidentally discovered the temple left behind by the Ancients and the profound mysteries of the ancient civilization. I inherited an incomparably huge inheritance and returned to Dragon City without any danger.
“Until today, half a century later…
“Unknowingly, I’ve already reached the peak of human evolution. I’ve already… surpa.s.sed the Deity Realm!”
Meng Chao stepped into the air and slowly landed on a fluffy but tough carpet that was a mixture of hardness and softness.
It was a carpet that combined the characteristics of velvet and golden wool, but it was even more gorgeous and domineering.
It seemed to have been ripped off from a deadly creature that was even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast. It was shockingly large, filling the bedroom that was half the size of a basketball court.
When it was quiet and docile, it was like a calm golden sea that could help its master absorb all dust, noise, and even unstable spirit waves.
When Meng Chao casually sent a stream of spirit energy into his feet, the soft golden fur on the carpet immediately stood up like steel needles that had been electrocuted. It gave off an extremely dangerous and fierce light.
Meng Chao willed it, and several hundred stands of fur immediately flew up and surrounded him. They spun at high speeds and rubbed against the air, creating a series of dazzling flames. It was like a tornado that had its own will, but it swore to protect its master.
Whoosh!
When Meng Chao cast his gaze toward the door, the burning tornado instantly reached its maximum speed. It almost caused a sonic boom in the room as it headed toward the door.
Meng Chao subconsciously remembered that even though the four walls and the door of the bedroom were made of nano-alloy materials that were even tougher than the seven-layer composite sh.e.l.l of the super heavy armored airship, they were enough to withstand the sneak attacks of countless a.s.sa.s.sins who had been like carps crossing the river over the past ten years.
He still could not block it. He used the carpet fur to casually trigger a casual attack.
The moment the tornado was about to blow up the door, Meng Chao blinked.
The terrifying attack was comparable to an evil dragon opening its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth to unleash a fiery breath, but it instantly disappeared without a trace.
Even the hundreds of hairs were not burned by the flames of spirit energy. They fell back to the carpet intact.
“This is the fur of the Dragon Devourer.”
The origin of the carpet appeared in Meng Chao’s mind.
“The Dragon Devourer is the demon king of the northernmost wilderness. This creature that lives in the crevices of glaciers all year round is like a polar bear magnified ten times. It’s like the embodiment of the icy h.e.l.l.
“Most of the time, they don’t even need to wave their claws that are more terrifying than the scythes of the Grim Reaper. The storm of death that they blow out with a sneeze is enough to freeze any prey into crystal blocks of ice and cut off all their lives.
“Fortunately, most Dragon Devourers are used to hibernating comfortably under glaciers all year round.
“And when they occasionally come out to look for food, even the Frost Wyrm that is the overlord of the northernmost wilderness in the usual sense has to stay away. Otherwise, they might become the food of the demon king. The name ‘Dragon Devourer’ is written on the fearful memory of all the barbarians in the wilderness with the broken bones of the Frost Wyrm!”
