Chapter 1346 - 679: Returning to Mist City
Not decayed for ten thousand years!
This woman, could she be an ancient being from ten thousand years ago?
Liang Yuan suddenly thought of a letter sent by Zhang Yujiang from the army, mentioning ancient human mummies.
Incorruptible and immortal...
And, did the Ice Goddess mention the underwater mermaid referring to the skeleton he obtained?
She mentioned immortal Spirit, hidden deep within genes, what does that mean?
What does it mean when someone awakens her genes and she can find a way to return?
For a moment, Liang Yuan’s heart was like a stormy sea, stirring up great waves.
He felt as if he had touched upon an unknown secret!
What really happened in this world?
These people have mysterious origins, seemingly having foreseen the present apocalypse long ago.
"Where’s Chang Yuntao?"
Suddenly, Liang Yuan thought of this crucial question.
Having been lurking here for so long, yet still not finding Chang Yuntao!
Chang Yuntao, being the Island Lord here, yet Ji Liang and others would rather report to this woman than inform him.
"Could something have happened to Chang Yuntao?"
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly withdrew from the palace.
As Liang Yuan left, the woman on the icy throne suddenly raised her head, looking toward the shadow where Liang Yuan departed.
Her ice-blue eyes flashed with an unusual color.
"Dark Attribute... is he the Lord of the Dark Abyss Mouth?"
At this time, frost gathered beside her, soon forming a shadow figure.
"Should we stop him?" the shadow asked.
The Ice Goddess slightly shook her head: "Impossible to stop, Dark Attribute Superpower User, and he’s already mastered shadow stealth, practically impossible to stop."
"Moreover, this person’s Spiritual Energy fluctuations are strong, much stronger than that useless Chang Yuntao. Forcing a stop would cost me dearly."
"Urgently, I need to quickly absorb the gene energy lost outside and reclaim Gene Authority soon."
Hearing this, the shadow rippled slightly, exclaiming: "Even you can’t stop him? Is he so formidable?"
"Don’t underestimate these people, every time there’s a flood apocalypse, always a few extraordinary ones emerge."
"Nuwa of the past, then Dayu, who wasn’t a peerless talent, who didn’t shake their time."
"Unfortunately, nobody can escape this cage, walk out of this world."
"The top Superpower Users of the past, once they head to the heavenly skies, they never return."
"Leaving behind only myths, woven into tales of immortals and buddhas by ignorant common folk."
"What awaits them is merely another reincarnation."
Upon hearing the Ice Goddess’s lament, the shadow couldn’t help but sigh, saying: "To return amid the cycle is indeed fortunate."
"In this cycle, you awakened earlier than the others, maybe there’s hope in devising a plan early and breaking through the cage to go beyond."
The Ice Goddess revealed a sharp glint in her eyes, saying: "In my dreams, I sensed an outstanding Genetic Species inheritor, her physical body is highly suitable for rehosting my divine soul."
"Though this body has persisted for ten thousand years, frozen yet immortal, it’s no longer suitable for this era."
"I must quickly find this Genetic Species inheritor."
"Can you sense where she is?"
"Not far away, I can sense her, I once actively awakened part of her genetic consciousness, unfortunately, interrupted by an external force."
The Ice Goddess seemed to recall something, her face gradually showed a hint of blush, a flicker of shame and anger in her eyes.
Apparently having encountered something unspeakable.
The shadow didn’t know the reason naturally, just said: "Shall we try to bring this vessel back now?"
The Ice Goddess nodded slightly: "Of course, her body contains much of my genetic inheritance and residual genetic consciousness."
"If she can be captured and merged with my soul again, my power will instantly recover at least fifty percent!"
...
Liang Yuan was unaware that his actions had already been seen through.
His presence in the shadows made it impossible for the other party to confidently apprehend him, so he was allowed to lurk away.
Liang Yuan quickly followed Ji Liang, exiting the palace.
Soon he entered a shadow around a corner.
Ji Liang walked on, suddenly feeling the surroundings plunge into darkness.
He also felt himself getting shorter, suddenly losing his sense of Space.
It seemed the whole world had turned dark.
"What!"
Ji Liang was startled, hurriedly trying to mobilize his Ice Attribute Superpower.
Yet upon attempting this, his complexion changed dramatically.
He couldn’t mobilize any power, not even feel his own body!
"Mr. Ji, long time no see."
A familiar voice came from behind him.
Ji Liang whirled around suddenly, feeling an overpowering presence in the darkness before him, transmitting a terrifying sense of pressure.
Liang Yuan in this Shadow World was the true ruler.
Someone like Ji Liang who hasn’t undergone gene recombination had no chance of resisting.
"Who... who are you! Daring to intrude Mist City!"
Ji Liang was shocked and immediately yelled angrily in question.
Liang Yuan’s light laughter came: "Mr. Ji, forgetting easily, let me remind you, Blood Crystal."
"It’s you!"
At the mention of Blood Crystal, Ji Liang suddenly recalled!
Chang Yuntao investigated the disappearance of the Blood Crystal, once furious.
Ultimately confirmed the Blood Crystal was stolen by Liang Yuan, hence seeking revenge on Liang Yuan was his goal.
Thus emerged the plan to unify Baoshan City and expand influence.
In the last battle, Chang Yuntao fought against Liang Yuan and finally escaped back to Mist City, which Ji Liang saw with his own eyes.
Therefore, he instantly recognized Liang Yuan’s voice.
For a moment, his face showed a look of panic.
"Liang Yuan, why are you here?"
"Heh, you answer my questions. You should know my methods, don’t make me unhappy."
Ji Liang remained silent, silently praying in his heart, hoping that the goddess of Mist City would quickly discover the enemy.
"What do you want to know?"
"Where is Chang Yuntao?"
Ji Liang was taken aback and immediately realized that Liang Yuan probably didn’t know the situation in Mist City.
He quickly said, "Chang Yuntao is already dead. Now the entire Mist City is under the command of the Ice Goddess."
"What!"
Liang Yuan was shocked: "Chang Yuntao is dead? What happened?"
"Will you let me go if I tell you?" Ji Liang seized the opportunity to ask.
He knew very well that unless Liang Yuan was willing to let him go, he could not escape.
Having witnessed the fierce battle between Liang Yuan and Chang Yuntao, he clearly knew the vast gap between himself and Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan immediately said, "Tell me everything you know, and I will let you go."
"Really?" Ji Liang asked with surprise.
"I have no deep hatred against you. Whether I kill you or not doesn’t affect the big picture. A Genetic Species expert with only one hundred points of the main attribute doesn’t have any impact on me."
Ji Liang immediately gave a bitter smile, although what Liang Yuan said was true, he still felt somewhat insulted.
But since he received Liang Yuan’s promise, he simply told Liang Yuan everything he knew.
"Three days ago, this woman suddenly appeared, claiming to be the Ice Goddess."
"Of course, we didn’t agree at that time, but she easily suppressed all of us."
"Then she took out the corpse of Chang Yuntao; only then did we know that Chang Yuntao was already dead."
"Since then, everyone could only regard her as the master."
"She personally took action, first capturing the Genetic Species experts on Yang Baoshan, and then freezing Beichen Island and Mist City together, expanding the area of Mist City."
"She ordered us to build an ice palace for her, even going so far as to forbid those people from resting, forcing them to build the palace day and night."
Liang Yuan immediately asked, "How did Chang Yuntao die?"
"I don’t know. When she took out Chang Yuntao, he was already a corpse, but I saw that he was emaciated, as if his blood and flesh had been drained."
Liang Yuan frowned and immediately asked, "This woman suddenly appeared? What’s her origin?"
"I really don’t know that. She seems to have suddenly appeared, and I discovered she seems to have control over the Heart Core of Mist City, able to manipulate the landscape."
Liang Yuan was shocked again: "How is that possible? Weren’t the Heart Core and the Brain Core refined by Chang Yuntao?"
"I don’t understand either." Ji Liang shook his head, clearly not knowing the mystery.
Liang Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable. He knew that once the Heart Core and Brain Core were refined, unless voluntarily taken out, even if someone forcibly killed the Heart Core master, the Heart Core would disperse with them, making it impossible for others to forcibly seize it.
Could it be that Chang Yuntao voluntarily handed over the Floating Island of Mist City?
But how could that be?
If Chang Yuntao had voluntarily handed it over, how could he have been killed by the other party?
Could it be that he was forced?
Liang Yuan felt suspicious, immediately feeling something wasn’t right.
Even if Chang Yuntao were foolish, he should know that as long as he didn’t hand over the Heart Core and Brain Core, he still had a way out.
Once he handed them over, he would be facing inevitable death.
For a moment, Liang Yuan was puzzled about what had happened between Chang Yuntao and this woman.
"How powerful is this woman?" He asked another key question.
"I don’t know, I really don’t know, I can’t see through her at all."
Ji Liang’s words left Liang Yuan helpless.
He knew Ji Liang wasn’t lying; a woman capable of killing Chang Yuntao would naturally possess strength beyond Ji Liang’s comprehension.
"Has she shown her gene recombination form?"
"No, she took action several times without transforming."
"Freezing Beichen Island and Mist City without utilizing the gene recombination form?"
"No."
Liang Yuan fell silent, a storm of waves surging within his mind.
Because he knew very well that reaching one hundred attribute points in human body state was already nearing the limit.
To continue breaking through, the human form would be unable to withstand it.
Only after gene recombination can one unleash greater power.
That’s the purpose of gene recombination.
However, if that woman can unleash such terrifying power, freezing an island, just with her human form.
That’s very abnormal.
"Could it be that her current form is not human?"
Liang Yuan suddenly had this thought!
His eyes flickered with uncertainty, not noticing that the cold surrounding him was gradually intensifying.
Nearby the floor tiles and walls, some strange blue runes were slowly forming within the ice blocks.
Meanwhile, the entire palace was silently undergoing transformation.
As if a grand formation was skillfully being set into motion.
Ice-blue energy gradually coalesced outside the palace, slowly forming a barrier-like cage.
"Hiss, so cold!"
Ji Liang involuntarily sneezed, speaking in a low voice.
Liang Yuan snapped back to reality, saying, "You’re just a shadow now, why feel cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly froze!
"No, something’s wrong!"
