Liang Yuanās words startled everyone awake.
Indeed, the global flood unleashed all kinds of supernatural beings.
The appearance of ancient superpower users shattered all previous speculations about this flood.
Originally thought to be a flood caused by heavy rain, some speculated it came from beyond the skies, while others guessed it was an alien invasion.
But now, with the sudden emergence of ancient superpower users, new speculations arise about the truth behind the flood.
A flood wiping out the world is not unprecedented.
In ancient times, superpower users appeared, surviving through the flood until now, waiting for this world-ending flood.
What exactly do they know?
How did they survive this apocalyptic flood, and how did they escape the passage of time?
However, this is too distant for them.
The urgent priority is to improve their own abilities.
Otherwise, they will only be victims of this flood.
"Mr. Liang, I would like to apply to return to Yangshan and use the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device."
Han Xiangman spoke with a solemn expression.
Liang Yuan glanced at her, nodding slightly, "Youāve already surpassed 100 points?"
"Yes."
"Alright, since your main attribute has surpassed 100 points, you can indeed consider undergoing gene recombination cultivation."
"Earlier breakthroughs in gene recombination might be crucial, as only superpower users who enter this stage can become the first-tier combat force."
Han Xiangman nodded heavily, "Yes."
Liang Yuan then looked at Wu Ying and Zhang Peng beside him, asking, "What are your current main attribute points?"
Wu Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, Iāve already reached 96 points."
Because he is a Dark Attribute Superpower User, residing long-term in places like the Dark Abyss Mouth where dark attribute energy is abundant, along with a large supply of Dark Attribute Superpower Stones for cultivation.
His cultivation speed naturally advanced rapidly.
Having long participated in battles on Fanshan Island, Yang Baoshan, and Beichen Island, his superpowers were continually honed, making his cultivation speed top-tier even in Yangshan.
Even without the support of Yangshanās Spirit Gathering Tower, he managed to elevate his main attribute!
Liang Yuan smiled, "It seems you can surpass 100 points in just a few days, keep up the good work, Iāll be staying in the Dark Abyss Mouth for this period, you can return to Yangshan and use the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device to attempt gene recombination."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingās face lit up with joy, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Mr. Liang."
From a timid, cowardly ordinary person inside a building, he has finally progressed step by step to today.
Back then, by seizing resources from Wang Ze in advance and then voluntarily offering them to Liang Yuan, he gained Liang Yuanās favor.
At that time, Liang Yuan did not expect Wu Ying to advance step by step to where he is now.
Liang Yuan turned his gaze to Zhang Peng, intending to inquire.
Zhang Peng, however, shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "Mr. Liang, I canāt do it, my main attribute is only 87 points now."
He is a Physique Ability User, requiring physique-type superpower stones.
The Dark Abyss Mouth doesnāt have these types of stones for him to cultivate.
He can only rely on himself, using the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique to cultivate superpowers.
Being in the Dark Abyss Mouth instead of Yangshan, unable to use the Spirit Gathering Tower, his cultivation progress is naturally slow.
Compared to Wu Ying, he is far behind.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, saying, "During this period, the contributions you three made were evident, your battle achievements will accumulate as points, and after returning to Yangshan, you can exchange them for cultivation resources."
Using the Spirit Gathering Tower and Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device requires spending points.
Because it involves cultivation resources, Liang Yuan set a high cost for them using points.
Especially the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device, costing tens of thousands of points per night.
Only Zhao Kai, Ding Yan, and other long-time followers of Liang Yuan can afford it.
Han Xiangman and Wu Yingās contributions this time are surely enough for the points.
Zhang Pengās points are also sufficient, but his personal strength is lacking, which is unavoidable.
"Zhang Peng, you stay, Xiangman, Wu Ying, you may go back first."
"Yes, Mr. Liang."
After Han Xiangman and Wu Ying left, Liang Yuan looked at Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng smiled bitterly, saying, "Iām sorry, Mr. Liang, Iāve let you down."
He assumed Liang Yuan kept him to express disappointment in his slow progress.
But Liang Yuan just shook his head with a smile, "Physique Ability Users are indeed disadvantaged, as a Transformation Ability User, your main attribute is Constitution."
"Yangshan doesnāt have cultivation resources related to physique, certainly not friendly to you."
As he spoke, Liang Yuan flipped his wrist, pulling out a fruit.
This is a Constitution-type Mutated Fruit, redeemed by Liang Yuan from the system.
He spoke, "Youāve been with me for quite a while now, considered a veteran."
"This [Thousand Forest Fruit] can instantly increase ten points of Constitution-type attribute, itās your contribution from this period, take it."
"This... Mr. Liang, is this really for me? Truly for me?"
Excitedly, Zhang Peng exclaimed, realizing ten main attribute points were enough for a monthās cultivation.
Liang Yuan laughed, "Of course itās for you, but Iāll deduct part of your points."
Zhang Peng replied enthusiastically, "Of course, thank you, Mr. Liang, thank you!"
Zhang Peng understood well that this was a personal benefit Liang Yuan provided him.
Yangshan doesnāt have superpower stones or resources available for Physique Ability Users.
Even with points, Physique Ability Users have nowhere to exchange.
Tu Long is also a Physique Ability User, among the earliest masters to coagulate Genetic Species.
It was even earlier than when Liang Yuan began concentrating on gene seeds.
But due to a lack of cultivation resources, now among the many experts in Yangshan, he has been overtaken by others.
Now Iāve heard that he has also reached 100 points in his main attribute, which is already quite fast.
Tu Long relied almost entirely on himself and the Spirit Gathering Tower to catch up.
He never took such a mutated fruit.
Zhang Peng naturally felt grateful to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan smiled, patted his shoulder, and sighed, "I didnāt stop everyone during the Turtle Island trip, which resulted in Wen Lili and the others being in peril. Iāve always felt guilty about this..."
Hearing this, Zhang Pengās eyes reddened slightly as he thought of his girlfriend Wen Lili, feeling a pang in his heart.
But he knew it wasnāt Liang Yuanās fault.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You advised us back then, once we set foot on the island, life or death depends on fate. It was us who were unwilling to give up, wanting to take a chance to awaken our superpowers."
"I know itās not your fault, itās just our own bad luck..."
Liang Yuan let out a sigh, saying no more, "Go back, cultivate well, and live well."
"All right, Mr. Liang, Iāll head back first."
Liang Yuan waved his hand, Zhang Peng wiped the corner of his eye, and left here.
Three days later, at the Dark Abyss Mouth, Fanshan Town.
Zhang Peng and the other two had already left. Now he was personally overseeing the Dark Abyss Mouth, which could be considered the safest place.
In the secret chamber, Liang Yuan was playing with the bone covenant in his hands, his eyes flickering.
"Bone Covenant..."
He casually took a talisman stone and quickly inscribed and imitated with spiritual power on the superpower stone.
Crashāā
Fragments fell, and soon a blue rune was condensed.
Buzz!
The superpower stone vibrated, and an identical rune appeared.
Liang Yuan smiled slightly. In three days, he had already mastered the method of drawing this rune.
"System!"
Liang Yuan opened the system and checked the skills bar.
Sure enough, the skill represented by this rune had already appeared in Liang Yuanās skills bar.
[Bone Covenant]
Skill Quality: Purple
Skill Requirements: Spirit 20 points, Constitution 20 points
Skill Effect: Induce causality line with spiritual power, establishing a covenant of cause and effect, violators will surely suffer causal backlash!
Note: The severity of the backlash is directly proportional to the bone covenant holderās spirit attribute.
Looking at the skill description, Liang Yuan couldnāt help but laugh.
"I didnāt expect it to be a purple quality skill rune."
"And there seems to be no manipulation, this Bone Covenant skill is indeed a must-have artifact for cooperation between strangers."
"Once the causal covenant is violated, one is bound to suffer causal backlash, and the intensity of this backlash is proportional to the spiritual power of the bone covenant holder."
"In other words, the stronger my spiritual power, the stronger the backlash force for those who violate the contract with me!"
Liang Yuan laughed again. He possessed the Spirit Class Genetic Species, and under the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Form, his spiritual power was nearing 200 points.
With such spiritual power intensity, once evoked to backlash, no one should be able to withstand it.
However, Liang Yuan furrowed his brows immediately: "The bone covenant is real, could that womanās words be true?"
"Does she really want to work with me to deal with another ancient superpower user?"
At this thought, Liang Yuan shook his head: "This woman is not to be trusted; these people are old monsters living from ancient times to the present."
"When it comes to scheming, probably no one can outplay them."
Liang Yuan didnāt believe Ling Yurongās words. That woman wanting to cooperate with him must be approached cautiously.
Cooperation is not impossible, but it must be based on him being the dominant party.
In other words, his power must far surpass the other partyās to have any basis for cooperation.
Otherwise, if their strength is similar but all the clues and information are in the otherās hands, heās merely following their lead, which isnāt cooperation but courting death.
Putting away the bone covenant, Liang Yuan contemplated his current strength.
"Itās unrealistic to significantly increase the gene recombination progress in the short term, so if I canāt enhance vertically, I should think about enhancing horizontally."
"Now Iāve already condensed gene seeds for ice, dark, fire, spirit, and space attributes."
"With the talent of the Hundred-Change Demon Ape, I can fully condense gene seeds for the Five Elements and various other attributes, truly being versatile!"
Liang Yuan surveyed the skills he currently mastered.
He already had corresponding skills for water and earth attributes; with the corresponding gene seeds, he could condense his own gene seeds.
And coincidentally, the one thing he had in abundance was water and earth gene seeds.
Liang Yuan smiled slightly, then flipped his wrist to take out a pale blue gene seed.
"A water attribute gene seed from the Miyuan Rainforest, after refining, I wonder what kind of genetic map will awaken."
With a glint in his eye, Liang Yuan directly swallowed this gene seed.
As the gene seed was ingested, the Hundred-Change Gene within him rapidly started analyzing and simulating, constantly changing!
In the blink of an eye, all his genes swiftly shifted to water attribute genes, beginning to deduce and condense a water attribute gene seed of his own!
As time progressed, his skin gradually showed wave-like patterns.
Simultaneously, one by one, brilliant water-blue plumes appeared on Liang Yuanās body.
These plumes were not feathers but were condensed and gathered from water elements.
