    ¡°Immigrant Batch Number XG3333G is about to enter the dimension. The final security check will be carried out in 10 seconds.¡±


    ¡°Immigrant Batch Number XG¡­¡±

    A strong yellow beam shot back and forth on Han Ning¡¯s body. Although it was blinding, Han Ning did not dare to make a sound. He widened his eyes and observed the surroundings.


    Groups of interstellar immigrants stood up straight on the plaza made of steel. Like Han Ning, they did not dare to make a sound and endured the detection of the rays.


    On a metal track further away, countless Federation soldiers in special combat uniforms were aiming their laser weapons at Han Ning¡¯s group.


    It seemed that if these immigrants made any unusual moves, they would be mercilessly killed.


    The entire scene was extremely depressing, there was only the bright yellow light shining back and forth.


    After a long time¡­


    ¡°The test has been passed. In one hour, we will activate the dimensional hyperdrive. All the financial groups of the Federation, please head to the entrance of Dimension and receive the corresponding immigrants.¡±


    A cold mechanical female voice rang out, causing the immigrants present to heave a sigh of relief. Whispers gradually sounded.


    But not long after, countless soldiers with special markings on their uniforms entered.


    Their cold and violent separation of the immigrants led to a brutal scene.


    But, strangely, all immigrants continue to suffer this rough treatment in silence.


    ¡°Move forward! Z8 Dimension Entrance!¡±


    Pak!


    Han Ning also felt a searing pain on his back and almost fainted. A soldier lifted up a heavy weapon and ruthlessly smashed it down on him.


    ¡°Got it!¡±


    Han Ning gritted his teeth in pain and followed the crowd.


    At this moment, he could not resist. If there were any abnormal movements, the laser weapons in the soldiers¡¯ hands would definitely penetrate him immediately.


    What was even more frightening was that all the immigrants present would be buried along with him.


    The crowd moved on, and as they came to a fork in the steel tunnel, they began to split like ants.


    A1, A2¡­ A100


    B1, B2¡­


    The crowd gradually decreased. After the Z8 logo entrance appeared, Han Ning walked into the tunnel.


    The scene suddenly changed. A huge mechanical steel cage appeared in front of Han Ning.


    Hundreds of silver-colored hyperdrive spaceships that could accommodate tens of thousands of people stood there like giant beasts.


    Close to a thousand soldiers were scattered around the spaceship. They were still guiding the immigrants to board the spaceship using violence.


    After 30 minutes, Han Ning boarded one of the spaceships and finally got a seat.


    Ever since the Earth had been enforced, he seemed to have not sat for a long time, apart from sleeping all the time.


    Looking out the window at the technologically advanced but inhumane scenery, Han Ning gritted his teeth. After a while, the true nightmare would begin.


    He would be forcefully sent into the Dimension World by the Sun family and from then on, he would return to his biological instincts¡ªhunting and becoming stronger.


    ¡°Little brother, which planet are you from?¡±


    The sudden question made Han Ning raise his head slowly.


    Sitting beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties. His eyes were filled with sorrow.


    ¡°Ancestral planet,¡± Han Ning replied expressionlessly.


    This reply stunned the middle-aged man. ¡°Ancestral planet? It doesn¡¯t seem to be on the list of immigrants. Could it be that you came willingly?¡±


    Han Ning looked up and shook his head slowly. ¡°The financial group, the Sun family.¡±


    Upon hearing these two words, the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes darkened. He looked at the soldiers outside the window and said angrily, ¡°The financial groups are getting crazier and crazier. Are they so crazy that they don¡¯t care about the Pact of Races? They have even started to plunder the population of the ancestral planet?¡±


    ¡°I remember that the ancestral planet was called Earth? From the contents of the history books, life back then was very beautiful and enviable.¡±


    Han Ning smiled calmly and nodded at the middle-aged man as an answer. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped speaking.


    That¡¯s right!


    Life on Earth eight hundred years ago was indeed enviable.


    At that time, there were still countries in control, fighting for the people.


    However, with the transition of civilization and the start of the interstellar era, a Pandora¡¯s box called Dimension opened. They encountered uncontrollable interstellar territories, they could not suppress their longevity desires and the primitive instincts of evolution. Even the countries could not resist this wave of civilization and collapse.


    In the current interstellar era, it was the financial groups that controlled the human race and the so-called union of the financial groups¡ªthe Federation.


    This was a group of predators who only cared about their own interests and did not care about the human race.


    That¡¯s right!


    In Han Ning¡¯s eyes, this was a group of predators who wouldn¡¯t even let go of the ancestral star!


    They plundered the populations and called them ¡®immigrants¡¯, sending them into the bloody Dimension to exploit them. Han Ning was one of them.


    All the ¡®immigrants¡¯ here wanted to resist, but in the interstellar era, it was impossible for ordinary people.


    It was impossible unless one became a Dimension user and obtained extraordinary evolution, achieving power comparable to the power of God.


    However, if one wanted to become a Dimension user, they had to enter Dimension as well.


    ¡­


    Outside the window, the process of the immigrants boarding the spaceship finally came to an end. As the last soldier entered, hundreds of silver spaceships closed the doors.


    The ear-piercing alarm shook the immigrants in the spaceship so much that they covered their ears. Soon after, it turned into a cold male voice:


    ¡°Immigrants from various inhabited planets. I am the person in charge of this immigration¡ªSun family, Sun Teng.¡±


    ¡°All of you are very fortunate. From now onwards, you will follow the Sun family into Dimension to develop and obtain supernatural powers.¡±


    ¡°However, I need to inform all of you not to think about leaving the Sun family. Also, when you enter Dimension, some of you will obtain talents. Please inform the soldiers beside you and let my family make arrangements.¡±


    ¡°If there are traitors or those who hide your information, you will die! This includes your family on the planet!¡±


    The emotionless and blatant threat was heard by Han Ning, the person speaking obviously did not care about what everyone felt.


    Hearing these words, everyone¡¯s breathing began to quicken. The veins of the middle-aged man who had just spoken to Han Ning bulged.


    They were already extremely furious, but no one dared to express it. If they were not careful, everyone present might suffer.


    Meanwhile, Han Ning quietly closed his eyes to rest.


    At this moment, anger was the most useless behavior. It was better to maintain his stamina and prepare to enter Dimension to survive.


    ¡­


    Time slowly passed. It was unknown how much time had passed¡­


    ¡°Countdown to dimensional hyperdrive: 10, 9, 8¡­¡±


    ¡°2.¡±


    ¡°1.¡±


    Boom!


    The world outside drastically changed with a loud quake.


    The giant steel cage slowly opened with loud rumblings, revealing the scenery of space outside.


    The ¡®black hole¡¯ that was devouring the light was revealed in a corner above. It looked to be swirling.


    However, the strange thing was that this black hole did not devour any of the surrounding stars, as if it was welcoming something.


    Han Ning knew that it was the entrance to Dimension, the most terrifying Pandora¡¯s box opened by human civilization.


    At the same time, countless silver spaceships began to rise from various parts of the space orbit. It was the same for Han Ning¡¯s spaceship.


    ¡°Batch Number XG3333G, ready for set off, entering Dimension.¡±


    A cold mechanical female voice echoed in space.


    Then, countless silver spaceships transformed into streaks of silver light as they flew towards the black hole like fireflies.


    Intense dizziness spread through Han Ning¡¯s entire body until his eyelids finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    Just as he was about to faint, Han Ning saw the spaceship slowly moving into the black hole.


    After an unknown period of time¡­


    [Prompt: You have entered Dimension. Beginning to generate the Dimension Status and Dimension Talent]


    [Prompt: Dimension Status generated, Dimension Talent generated]


    Dimension User: Han Ning

    After some time, Han Ning woke up.


    Through the porthole of the spaceship, Han Ning realized that they had arrived at a brand new space.


    This was the dimension world behind the tunnel.


    Beep!


    Not long after, there was a soft vibration sound in front of the spaceship. Following a slight tremor, it landed on a huge platform.


    Then, the door of the spaceship slowly opened, and a few armed soldiers walked in.


    ¡°Everyone! Get off the ship and do your headcount immediately!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡±


    As they scolded, these soldiers entered the spaceship and pulled those immigrants up roughly.


    Some people had just woken up from their daze. If they were slightly slower, they would be ruthlessly shot by the soldiers!


    Han Ning didn¡¯t say anything. He got up and left the ship.


    Resistance was useless. Here, they were just tools without any dignity to defend.


    After exiting the spaceship, Han Ning followed the immigrant group forward. There were soldiers on both sides of the group escorting them. Their eyes were cold as they looked at Han Ning and the rest as though they were livestock.


    When they reached under the platform where the ship was docked, the group was ordered to stop moving.


    Up ahead, two people holding data loggers were interrogating everyone in the crowd.


    ¡°Name, origin, talent level!¡±


    The clerks repeated these questions mechanically like they were dealing with goods on an assembly line. The immigrants in front answered them one by one, and then they were brought to the side to await their verdict.


    During this process, Han Ning began to look around.


    This space was very desolate. As far as the eye could see, the periphery was filled with floating meteorites. There was not even a single other planet nearby.


    Even further away was the endless void. No one knew what was hidden in the depths of the darkness.


    Even at the edge of the platform where the spaceship was docked, the floating rocks were the mainstream of the environment. The entire periphery was cold and barren, without even a trace of life.


    ¡°What are you looking at! Name, origin, talent level!¡±


    The cold voice made Han Ning look back.


    Looking at the clerk in front of him, Han Ning answered honestly, ¡°Han Ning, from the ancestral planet. Talent¡­¡±


    Han Ning paused.


    When he fainted earlier, he vaguely heard the notification of his talent.


    However, in this desolate space, danger and accidents could happen at any time. He had to leave some trump cards for himself.


    After thinking for a while, Han Ning replied, ¡°Talent gene extraction. Rank A, able to extract the gene points contained in a dimensional corpse. Each time, it is approximately 0.01.¡±


    Yes, Han Ning did not tell the truth. Instead, he deliberately concealed his talent grade to be A-rank. As for the specific ability limitations, he did not expose it.


    However, the clerk¡¯s expression changed. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°Gene extraction?¡±


    As he spoke, the clerk hurriedly turned around and left.


    While Han Ning was still puzzled, the clerk had returned. The difference was that this time, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man with slender eyes.


    Upon seeing Han Ning, the man asked, ¡°I¡¯m the person-in-charge, Sun Haoyuan. Your talent is gene extraction, Rank A?¡±


    Sun Haoyuan¡¯s voice gave him a feeling of a clammy snake. Han Ning took a deep breath and replied, ¡°Yes, Sir.¡±


    Sun Haoyuan asked again, ¡°What are the specific abilities?¡±


    Han Ning recalled the contents of the prompt and answered honestly, ¡°The gene point that can be extracted from the corpse of a dimensional lifeform is related to the level of the dimensional lifeform. Minimum extraction is 0.01.¡±


    Han Ning did not say that his dimensional cognition was also related to the extraction efficiency, but Sun Haoyuan did not know that. After hearing what Han Ning said, his gloomy face suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.


    ¡°Minimum extraction is 0.01, 100% extraction efficiency?¡±


    Han Ning deliberated and said, ¡°I think so, Sir. The specifics will depend on the actual usage.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Sun Haoyuan suddenly laughed and praised him. ¡°Good, good, good! Han Ning, right? From now on, you¡¯re a member of my research institute. As long as you work hard for my Sun family in the future, you¡¯ll get plenty of benefits!¡±


    The people around looked surprised. Even Han Ning was confused.


    The change in Sun Haoyuan¡¯s attitude was too drastic.


    Furthermore, he noticed that the clerk¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise and envy. Clearly, the position of being a researcher was extraordinary.


    At this moment, Sun Haoyuan had already made the arrangements. ¡°Go, prepare two mounts for me. I¡¯ll personally bring Han Ning to the research institute!¡±


    ¡°Roger!¡±


    Two soldiers beside him immediately took action. Sun Haoyuan noticed the surprise on the group of immigrants¡¯ faces and curled his lips, he did not bother to say anything.


    These new immigrants and ordinary soldiers were inexperienced and had never dabbled in the field of gene extraction. They had no idea what 100% extraction efficiency meant!


    In the past, when they extracted gene points from dimensional life forms, they would either separate the genes from the corpses or obtain gene points by devouring the flesh and blood of dimensional life forms!


    Of the two methods, the former required a huge cost of technology, and the success rate was extremely low.


    Not only was the latter inefficient, but one could also suffer the genetic backlash of dimensional life forms, causing the devourer¡¯s genetic system to collapse and undergo a vicious mutation!


    A few minutes later, two soldiers brought over two strange beasts with fish scales on their backs. Their heads and body had the same proportions and they were always walking on two legs.


    In a place like the Dimension, normal technological methods would not be of much use. Even human transportation had turned into all sorts of strange dimensional life forms.


    Han Ning had never seen anything like this before.


    However, Sun Haoyuan was clearly very familiar with this. He immediately let Han Ning ride on the back of this creature. Without any explanation, he led Han Ning to a research institute.


    At the entrance of the research institute, the soldiers on duty saw Sun Haoyuan and immediately opened the door.


    After entering, Sun Haoyuan brought Han Ning to a laboratory.


    Here, Han Ning saw a refined young man in a white robe and half-framed glasses.


    The young man smiled and said, ¡°Sir Sun, is this Han Ning?¡±


    Obviously, Han Ning¡¯s information had already been sent here.


    Sun Haoyuan nodded and introduced, ¡°Han Ning, this is the research institute set up by the Sun family here. This person in front of you is Bai Yu, the genetic sequence expert we hired. You will work under him from now on.¡±


    Sun Haoyuan then turned to Bai Yu and said respectfully, ¡°Researcher Bai, I still have many things to attend to. I¡¯ll leave Han Ning to you. Thank you.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded and sent him off.


    Han Ning watched all of this quietly. This Researcher Bai must have a high status.


    After Sun Haoyuan left, Bai Yu looked at Han Ning and said gently, ¡°You¡¯ll be my assistant from now on. Someone will take you to arrange your daily necessities later.¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu faced the direction of the platform.


    ¡°You¡¯re very lucky. Here, you don¡¯t have to fight those wild beasts in the wild just to survive. As for the others¡­ it¡¯s all up to fate to see how many of them would survive..¡±

 Chapter 3

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Han Ning nodded.


    Before coming here, his understanding of the Dimension was almost zero. If he followed those people to explore the Dimension as soon as he came in, he would definitely die.


    ¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to think about that now.¡±


    Bai Yu turned around. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, your mission is to do research with me. Now, let me familiarize you with this laboratory.¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu pointed at the surrounding equipment and started introducing them to Han Ning.


    ¡°This is the machinery to cut the experimental specimens. This is the blood pool used to store blood¡­¡±


    Under Bai Yu¡¯s lead, Han Ning finally had a chance to observe the place.


    When he first arrived, Han Ning was still a little nervous. Now that he calmed down, he realized that this wasn¡¯t the entire research institute. It was just one of the main laboratories that was filled with all kinds of apparatus.


    These machines were sophisticated and high-end. Just the messy operation buttons and mechanical arms on them gave Han Ning a headache.


    Other than that, there were also various instruments used to record data at the edge of the laboratory. Han Ning could not understand the data on them either.


    After one round, the entire laboratory gave Han Ning the feeling of two words¡ª


    High-end!


    Han Ning had to admit that although the rule of the financial groups was very harsh, the technology they possessed was indeed top-notch.


    Bai Yu seemed to read Han Ning¡¯s mind and smiled. ¡°You¡¯re new here. Do you think that these apparatus are too complicated?¡±


    Han Ning nodded.


    Bai Yu did not mind at all. ¡°It¡¯s alright. These things look complicated, but most of them run automatically. Also, you don¡¯t have to operate them in the beginning. You just have to learn basic theory from me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, uh¡­¡±


    Han Ning didn¡¯t know how to address him.


    Bai Yu saw through Han Ning¡¯s thoughts and smiled. ¡°Call me Professor. This is how we address each other in the research department. If you have anything you don¡¯t understand, feel free to ask.¡±


    Han Ning was relieved. He indeed had many questions that needed to be answered.


    ¡°Alright, Professor. Before coming here, I only roughly understood the concept of genes and dimensions. Now, can you give me a detailed introduction?¡±


    Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, since we are researchers, we can¡¯t just have a rough idea.¡±


    Thus, Bai Yu let Han Ning sit on the chair while he went to the opposite side. He slid his fingers on the instrument in front of him a few times and a light screen flickered out.


    Then, Bai Yu started introducing the knowledge about genes.


    From Bai Yu¡¯s introduction, Han Ning understood that the genes mentioned here were not in the ordinary sense of genetics, but a transformation of life!


    Devouring the genes of other life forms and integrating them could allow humans to obtain stronger strength, speed, vitality, and other benefits.


    This was the genetic evolution that people yearned for.


    Only now did Han Ning finally understand the true concept of genetic evolution.


    Before coming here, he only knew that fusing genes could make one stronger, but he did not know the principle behind it.


    As Bai Yu explained, the relevant animated demonstrations appeared on the light screen.


    In the image, the symbols representing genes fused into the human body, and the various body values were immediately marked with arrowheads pointing upwards. This represented the improvement of various abilities.


    This kind of animation was very intuitive. Even a noob like Han Ning could understand it at a glance.


    After understanding the concept of gene integration, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Then, Professor, what¡¯s the matter with the Dimensional Space? Why is it that humans can only obtain the fusion and evolution of genes after opening the Dimensional Space, but not before?¡±


    Bai Yu had a look of approval in his eyes, as though he was satisfied with Han Ning¡¯s active thinking.


    He then gave an explanation.


    ¡°Dimensional Space refers to planes that exist in different dimensions.¡±


    ¡°You should have heard of one-dimensional point, two-dimensional surface, three-dimensional solid, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Han Ning gave an affirmative answer.


    Bai Yu continued, ¡°Then, you should know that different dimensions possess different levels of power. Let¡¯s put it this way. It¡¯s like how a three-dimensional life form can destroy a two-dimensional life form!¡±


    Han Ning nodded. What Bai Yu said was actually very simple.


    Just like humans and ants, humans¡¯ understanding of the world was three-dimensional, while ants¡¯ world was only two-dimensional. Therefore, when a single person encountered a single ant, their strength was completely overwhelming.


    For example, if you drew a line on the ants¡¯ path, they would think that the path was blocked because there was only a two-dimensional plane in the world of ants. There was no concept of ¡®crossing¡¯.


    Seeing that there was nothing Han Ning did not understand, Bai Yu continued, ¡°In that case, you should understand. The space we¡¯re in right now is a four-dimensional world. This doesn¡¯t mean that the lifeforms inside are all four-dimensional. It means that the level of their genes are stronger than ours, surpassing any lifeforms in the three-dimensional space we lived in before.¡±


    ¡°I see!¡±


    Han Ning was enlightened.


    According to Bai Yu, the reason why they opened up this four-dimensional space and could use the genes of the lifeforms here to evolve was because the lifeforms here were more advanced than humans.


    Of course, this referred to the aspect of genetic evolution, not the true level of the lifeforms here.


    To be precise, the lifeforms in this four-dimensional space were in the process of evolving from three to four dimensions.


    And these life forms were the limit that humans could deal with.


    Otherwise, humans would be crushed like ants when facing a real four-dimensional creature!


    This was because there was simply no comparison between the two.


    Suddenly, Han Ning felt like he had opened the door to a new world.


    After settling these doubts, Han Ning asked again, ¡°Professor, could it be that we fused genes to break through to a higher level of life?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡±


    Bai Yu gave an affirmative answer.


    ¡°Human beings integrate genes and increase their strength so that one day, they can evolve into a higher four-dimensional being, or even a five-dimensional being!


    ¡­


    Following this topic, Han Ning learned too much from their conversation.


    Unknowingly, a few hours had passed.


    Bai Yu seemed to be a little tired. ¡°That¡¯s all for today. Your accommodation has probably been arranged. Go pack up first. I¡¯ll give you a demonstration tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Got it, Professor.¡±


    Han Ning stood up to leave.


    What Bai Yu said about genes and dimensions today was enough for him to digest for a long time.


    After leaving the laboratory, Han Ning was led to his residence by a guard.


    His residence was not far from the laboratory. There were tables, chairs, and beds inside. It seemed that someone had already prepared everything for him.


    Han Ning had nothing much to unpack, so he let the guard take him around.


    Having just arrived, Han Ning still wanted to familiarize himself with the environment.


    He did not forget that he had come to this barren land because of the Sun family!


    Therefore, how could Han Ning be willing to stay here and work for the Sun family!

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    The cosmos where the research institute was located did not have a clear distinction between day and night. The cosmos above them was always dim, and only the distant twinkling starlight could bring some light to this place.


    After leaving his residence that day, Han Ning was led around the entire research institute by the guard.


    Since he wanted to leave, he had to be fully prepared.


    After he got tired of walking around, Han Ning went back to rest.


    The next morning¡­


    Well, in this universe where there was no black and white, Han Ning could only distinguish between day and night based on his own feelings.


    In short, Han Ning remembered what Bai Yu had told him. He was to bring him for the first demonstration today.


    The living quarters were about a kilometer away from the laboratory. In the middle, they would pass the main road that led to the door.


    Arriving at the side of the main road, Han Ning heard a commotion coming from the entrance.


    ¡°Keep your hands steady and send these dimensional beasts to the storage room at the back!¡±


    Following the sound, Han Ning saw a few huge beasts carrying a batch of boxes of various sizes. The boxes seemed to be made out of some kind of transparent glass, and Han Ning could clearly see the corpses of the dimensional beasts inside.


    Dimensional beasts were the general name of all life forms in Dimension.


    The main mission of the research institute was to extract materials like the genes, bones, and blood. Therefore, many corpses were needed. These corpses were hunted by the Sun family from the wilderness and transported here.


    Han Ning ignored the approaching transport team and went to the laboratory.


    However, when he passed by the transport team, Han Ning keenly discovered that among the corpses, there seemed to be a dimensional beast that was receiving a ¡®treatment¡¯ completely different from other corpses.


    The corpse was shaped like an ant, and its entire body emanated a strange and bright blue color.


    The other corpses were stored in glass boxes, but this corpse was stored in a spherical container. The surface of the container emitted a metallic luster, and it was obvious that it was of a higher grade than those glass boxes.


    Han Ning walked over curiously and stopped a soldier.


    He was now an assistant researcher in name, and his status was higher than ordinary soldiers.


    When the soldier saw Han Ning, he wanted to scold him, but when he saw the assistant logo on Han Ning¡¯s body, he immediately saluted.


    ¡°Good morning, sir!¡±


    Han Ning waved his hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s in this ball? It looks special?¡±


    The soldier replied, ¡°Sir, this is a Divine Blood Ant. It¡¯s an Origin-rank dimensional beast. There are very few of them in the vicinity, and since they are too small, it¡¯s very difficult to preserve a complete corpse so they are extremely precious.¡±


    Han Ning nodded and left without another word.


    Bai Yu had introduced to him before that most of the dimensional beasts in the vicinity were ordinary ones and there were very few of them at the Origin level.


    The soldier looked at Han Ning¡¯s back and was slightly puzzled.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this an assistant researcher? Why do I feel like he doesn¡¯t know anything?¡±


    Of course Han Ning didn¡¯t know anything!


    He had only just arrived here. Before this, he had never even seen a real dimensional beast!


    Of course, Han Ning wouldn¡¯t expose these things. Instead, he would remember the matter of the Divine Blood Ant.


    In the future, he would definitely come into contact with genetic evolution. The Divine Blood Ant was a Origin-rank dimensional beast, so its genes were much better than ordinary dimensional beasts. It could be a good alternative.


    Han Ning then went to have breakfast.


    The research institute¡¯s restaurant was open twenty-four hours a day, and there was a rich variety of food inside. However, most of the food was made from plants and animals in the universe, which made Han Ning a little uncomfortable.


    After breakfast, Han Ning walked into the laboratory and found Bai Yu already waiting in the corner.


    Seeing Han Ning enter, Bai Yu called out, ¡°You¡¯re here. A new batch of carcasses just arrived, and they¡¯re still warm. I¡¯ll use them to demonstrate for you.¡±


    ¡°Um¡­ okay.¡±


    Han Ning was on the verge of a breakdown.


    Why did this guy say that the corpse was still warm as though he was describing a bowl of porridge?


    However, Bai Yu did not care about that. The corpse of a dimensional beast had already been placed on the experiment table with all sorts of knives, instruments, and unknown containers around.


    When Han Ning arrived, Bai Yu picked up two scalpels and started cutting apart the dimensional beast while explaining to Han Ning.


    ¡°Watch carefully. If you want to carry out gene extraction, the first step is to understand the body structure of various dimensional beasts. Today, I will start from the most basic step and demonstrate to you step by step. You must firmly remember everything I have taught you.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Han Ning immediately agreed.


    He had never come into contact with any research knowledge before, but Han Ning knew that he had to learn to accept everything.


    Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, the Sun family would not raise an idle person for nothing.


    At that time, he would be sent to the wilderness!


    Han Ning had no idea how difficult it was to survive in the wild. However, looking at the mangled skin of the beast on the experiment table, it was enough to prove how dangerous the battle between humans and beasts was.


    Hence, Han Ning forced himself to memorize every step.


    If there was anything he did not understand, Han Ning would consult Bai Yu in time.


    However, he did not have any research foundation, so it was very difficult for him to grasp everything.


    The steps of the operation were easy to remember, but the usage of the precision instruments and the timing of the drugs to maintain cell activity were like a heavenly book to Han Ning.


    Fortunately, Bai Yu was very patient.


    He would explain everything that Han Ning didn¡¯t understand over and over again.


    Three hours later, the corpse of the dimensional beast was completely dissected, its blood and bones completely separated.


    Bai Yu was sweating profusely. It was obvious that his high intensity teaching while working had increased his burden.


    After resting for a while, Bai Yu¡¯s expression suddenly turned solemn.


    ¡°Look carefully, Han Ning. The next step is the most crucial step in the entire process, it¡¯s time to extract the genes from these life forms!¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu connected the two apparatus beside him and placed two electrode-like objects into the separated blood. Then¡­


    Han Ning could not understand what Bai Yu was doing.


    Because Han Ning knew nothing about the use of apparatus!


    Next, only Bai Yu¡¯s mutterings were left in the laboratory.


    ¡°When you extract the genes, you must ensure that there is no deviation in the current output. The transmission rate of the catheter must not change¡­¡±


    Listening to Bai Yu¡¯s explanation, Han Ning couldn¡¯t understand anything.


    However, Bai Yu was completely immersed in the extraction process and could not see Han Ning¡¯s pained face at all. Half an hour later, a small amount of liquid flowed through the catheter and into the test tube beside him, however it was boiling slightly.


    At this point in time, Bai Yu no longer spoke. There was only an extremely solemn expression on his face.


    When the liquid in the test tube calmed down, Bai Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Done. This is the extracted genes.¡±


    Bai Yu pointed to the rare liquid at the bottom of the test tube.


    Han Ning asked softly, ¡°Professor, is the extraction process that difficult?¡±

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s why we value you so much.¡±


    Bai Yu sighed.


    Picking up the test tube, Bai Yu shook the rare liquid inside and said bitterly.


    ¡°As you can see, to extract the genes of the beasts in Dimension is very inefficient for us, and the cost is not proportional to the gains.¡±


    ¡°In fact, if we can fully extract the genes in the body of such a huge beast, it would be enough for five people to fuse their genes.¡±


    ¡°However, with our current technology, we can¡¯t do that at all. Usually, the efficiency is only about 10%!


    Han Ning understood.


    In other words, with the Sun family¡¯s current technology, they could only extract 10% of the gene contained in a corpse. In other words, they could only utilize about 10% of the gene.


    Even so, Han Ning found it very strange.


    Previously, he had said that his talent could only guarantee 1% extraction efficiency. This was much less efficient than artificial extraction.


    So Han Ning asked, ¡°But my talent¡­¡±


    Bai Yu understood what Han Ning meant and interrupted, ¡°Do you think that it¡¯s not important because your talent is only 1%?¡±


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    Putting down the test tube in his hand, Bai Yu seemed a little helpless.


    ¡°In fact, there is a lot of luck involved in the successful extraction of genes this time. Under normal circumstances, the success rate of the extraction is only one-tenth, and the better the target¡¯s genes are, the harder it is to extract!¡±


    ¡°Also, as you saw just now, every gene extraction will consume a lot of manpower and resources. Take these two machines for example. The cost of operating them once is around a million dollars!¡±


    ¡°Ss!¡±


    Han Ning was truly shocked by Bai Yu¡¯s explanation.


    No wonder his talent of 1% rate in gene extraction was so important.


    The efficiency and success rate of artificial extraction could only reach this level at most. Furthermore, it required a huge investment!


    Even if his efficiency in extracting genes was only one percent, he could save billions of dollars for the Sun family every year!


    In other words, in the eyes of the Sun family, he was simply a mobile money-printing machine!


    Han Ning fell silent.


    From this perspective, he was just a tool of the Sun Family. The reason why Sun Haoyuan was still polite to him was entirely because he could create enough benefits for the Sun family, and not because the other party really treated him as a real person.


    However, Han Ning didn¡¯t show his emotions.


    At this time, Bai Yu started from the beginning and explained the operation steps to Han Ning.


    From the dissection of the corpse, to the separation of the blood, bones, and finally the extraction of genes, the process was quite complicated. This gave Han Ning no time to even think.


    Because of this, Han Ning could only calm down and focus on his studies.


    Although he did not have to worry about food and clothing now, strictly speaking, he had not escaped the clutches of the Sun family yet.


    If he did not show enough value, Han Ning believed that he would be thrown out of the Sun family in less than an hour.


    After reviewing the entire extraction process many times, Han Ning finally had some clues.


    Unknowingly, Han Ning felt that it was around noon.


    Bai Yu had no intention of stopping. Instead, he brought Han Ning to the back of the laboratory.


    When he was explaining to Han Ning just now, Bai Yu could clearly sense that Han Ning knew nothing about the research and the use of various machines.


    Therefore, Bai Yu was planning to start from the basics and teach Han Ning bit by bit.


    Bai Yu brought Han Ning to a cabinet where he casually took out a thick stack of documents.


    ¡°Here, this is all the information about genetic research from entry level to primary level. Study them well here. I will come over regularly for assessment and guidance.¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu threw the pile of materials away and returned to the experiment table.


    Han Ning, on the other hand, was upset.


    The information that Bai Yu had given him was filled with densely packed words. At a rough glance, any piece of paper had tens of thousands of words!


    And among these words were many formulas and symbols that he could not understand!


    With a face full of despair, Han Ning had no choice but to start from the most basic gene classification.


    He had consulted Bai Yu about this before, so he could understand a little.


    As for the rest, he could only study them in the future.


    Han Ning didn¡¯t complain too much. Although research was difficult, it was better than losing his life in the future.


    After an entire afternoon, Han Ning finally finished reading a page of information.


    Bai Yu, on the other hand, had been dissecting at the experiment table and would come over from time to time to answer Han Ning¡¯s questions.


    When it finally reached dinner time, Han Ning felt like he was better off dead!


    Those f*cking genetic computing laws, experimental apparatus operation index, and the ratio of all kinds of experimental drugs, were these really things that normal people could learn?


    After leaving the laboratory, Han Ning returned to his room and fell asleep immediately!


    Mental fatigue was far more tiring than physical exhaustion.


    For the next month, Han Ning lived like this every day.


    Practical operations, familiarizing with the apparatus, understanding research data, taking Bai Yu¡¯s test¡­


    This process was very boring. As a noob with no foundation, Han Ning felt like he was going to break down several times.


    Fortunately, if you try hard, you¡¯re bound to succeed eventually. Under the hellish study pattern, Han Ning made great progress in his research.


    After more than a month, he had gained a basic understanding of the usage of those apparatus, as well as the ratios and calculations of the basic materials.


    Of course, he could forget about mastering the more profound levels.


    This kind of high-end academic content was summarized by generations of researchers. No matter how talented Han Ning was, he couldn¡¯t achieve it quickly.


    In the process of learning, Han Ning also saw that some parts had mentioned ¡®lock¡¯.


    The lock, naturally, referred to the gene lock.


    Han Ning was suddenly interested in this.


    On his personal status, there was also the concept of ¡®lock¡¯.


    However, he still did not know what the lock was used for.


    With a curious mind, Han Ning continued reading the information.


    However, the information he had on hand was all about genes. They did not describe the ¡®lock¡¯ in detail. It was only mentioned that ¡®lock¡¯ required gathering different genotypes to open it.


    What a pity.


    Han Ning felt a little regretful that he didn¡¯t get to know the specific concept of locks.


    However, he understood that haste makes waste.


    Right now, he should focus on genes. Once he mastered the knowledge related to genes, he would be able to better understand the more profound areas..

 Chapter 6

    Han Ning¡¯s life didn¡¯t change because of his thoughts.


    Even though Bai Yu did his best when teaching him, Han Ning would not have the chance to come into contact with gene fusion before he was truly familiar with everything.


    He also understood that what he needed to do now was not to bite off more than he could chew, but to quickly finish the knowledge he had on hand. Fortunately, he could undergo the gene fusion in the near future and strengthen himself.


    Another fulfilling yet dull month passed. Under Bai Yu¡¯s guidance and Han Ning¡¯s hard work, he became more proficient in all kinds of knowledge.


    Finally, one morning ten days later, Bai Yu found Han Ning.


    After evaluating Han Ning¡¯s knowledge from the previous stage, Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, ¡°You have already grasped the basics of what you are learning and are familiar with the apparatus in the laboratory.¡±


    ¡°There are only the two of us here now, and we are in need of manpower. From this afternoon onwards, you will follow me to carry out the actual operation.¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    Han Ning rejected without hesitation!


    What a joke!


    Over the past two months, the master and disciple had been interacting with each other day and night and became very familiar with each other. It was also during these two months that Han Ning finally saw how low the success rate of gene extraction was!


    Every day, when Han Ning was studying at the side, he would always hear Bai Yu cursing in anger after failing the extraction.


    Many times, some violent genes would have energy conflicts on the spot, blowing up the entire laboratory!


    Even now, Bai Yu¡¯s face was still stained with the blood from his failed gene extraction¡­


    Looking at Han Ning¡¯s vigilant gaze, Bai Yu smiled bitterly. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯ll watch you from the side.¡±


    ¡°After coming into contact with gene extraction, you will also have a chance to obtain stronger power.¡±


    Upon hearing Bai Yu¡¯s words, Han Ning hesitated before agreeing. ¡°Then¡­ you must protect me.¡±


    ¡°Alright, cut the crap. We¡¯ll start in the afternoon!¡±


    Bai Yu, who had always had a good temper, was caught between laughter and tears.


    He didn¡¯t expect Han Ning to be so cautious.


    Han Ning did not retort.


    His talent in extracting genes had a hundred percent success rate, so he did not have to worry about failure. However, he was so used to seeing Bai Yu fail, that he could not help but feel conflicted.


    In the afternoon, Han Ning followed Bai Yu to the experiment table.


    Lying on the experiment table was the corpse of a beast known as Gray Wolf.


    This creature was called Gray Wolf, but it didn¡¯t look like a wolf at all. Its entire body was weirdly shaped. It was only because its cry sounded similar to a wolf¡¯s that it was named Gray Wolf.


    Picking up the knife beside him, Han Ning immediately began the initial dissection.


    After such a long time, Han Ning had already practiced this basic step dozens of times. He was quite familiar with the overall movements.


    After dissecting the wolf¡¯s body, Han Ning began to dissect its flesh, bones, and organs.


    Every cell of the dimensional beasts was a raw material for genetic extraction, which was why people can fuse their genes by eating their flesh directly.


    However, flesh and bones were also precious resources. They could be used to make related medicinal herbs and tools, so they had to be handled separately.


    Of course, the subsequent processing would be handed over to the relevant factories. The laboratory only needed to separate these different parts.


    After working for a while, Han Ning finally finished all the preceding work.


    Under Bai Yu¡¯s gaze, the experiment finally reached the most crucial step.


    Extracting the genes!


    According to the operating procedures that he had learned before, Han Ning first pulled the two apparatus used to extract genes over, then carefully connected the several catheters on them to the separated flesh and bones.


    Han Ning then began to compare the supplementary drugs used for various gene extractions, while adjusting the frequency of the apparatus.


    This step was the most crucial step in gene extraction.


    The main point of gene extraction was to extract the genes contained in living cells through artificial means.


    And the current extraction was different from traditional gene extraction. Because the ultimate goal of people was to directly increase the level of life through these genes, and not simply to fuse them, while extracting the genetic material in the cells, they also have to go through various special treatments.


    Only by doing so could they ensure that the extracted genes contained genetic substances that could directly enhance the various aspects of the human body.


    And in these steps, every step must be ensured to have zero mistakes.


    Otherwise, the extraction would either fail or cause the extracted genes to become unstable, resulting in uncontrollable malignant mutations!


    Therefore, Han Ning did not dare to slack off.


    Even with Bai Yu¡¯s help for some crucial procedures, Han Ning was still treading on thin ice.


    Of course, he wasn¡¯t afraid of the experiment failing.


    Instead it was because¡­ he had to find a way to touch the corpse!


    His talent was to come into contact with corpses and extract their genes, but now that he was wearing gloves and looked like he was performing surgery. He could not come into contact with them openly!


    Previously, in order to deceive others, he did not say that he could extract genes through contact. After all, compared to how humans had to extract talents with normal means, this ability was too ostentatious.


    Therefore, Han Ning pretended that his talent was like that of an ordinary person, and it had to be extracted step by step to take effect.


    But now, Han Ning realized that it was such a difficult thing to do something under someone else¡¯s nose!


    Fortunately, the extraction process required contact with the corpse of the beast.


    Han Ning took advantage of the last moment to deliberately lower the position of his palm. He used the exposed bit of his wrist to make contact with some of the flesh and activated his talent.


    At that moment, Han Ning suddenly felt something enter his body through his wrist.


    Then, he received a notification.


    [Successfully Extracted. Obtained Gray Wolf Gene x1 Point]


    Success!


    The successful extraction of the Gray Wolf¡¯s gene made Han Ning a little excited. However, the first thing he had to do now was to distribute about one percent of the extracted gene into the test tube to prove his previous statement.


    Fortunately, his innate talent was controllable.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the Gray Wolf¡¯s gene was not yet integrated into the panel, Han Ning quickly separated a small part of the gene and let it enter the test tube through the apparatus.


    Soon, some transparent liquid appeared in the test tube.


    Bai Yu¡¯s face immediately revealed a trace of excitement!


    ¡°It¡¯s about to succeed!¡±


    Looking at the liquid in the test tube, Bai Yu was even more excited than Han Ning himself. He quickly activated the machine next to him for testing.


    Soon, the machine displayed a line of data.


    [Gray Wolf Gene Sequence, Quantity: 0.01 points]


    Instantly, Bai Yu was elated.


    ¡°You really did it! Han Ning, you really did extract the Gray Wolf¡¯s gene!¡±


    Han Ning also revealed an ecstatic smile.


    However, his joy was just for show, because this was something that had a hundred percent success.


    At this moment, his true thoughts were focused on something else¡ª


    When the gene extraction was completed, his personal status had something different..

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Lifeform: Normal


    Gene: Not awakened


    Lock: Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused Genes: Normal¡ªGray Wolf Gene (0.99)


    The extracted genes directly entered the dimension status?


    Seeing the changes in his personal status, Han Ning was both surprised and happy.


    However, he immediately restrained his emotions. Bai Yu was still at the side and he could not reveal any abnormalities.


    However at this moment, Bai Yu did not notice Han Ning¡¯s emotions at all. Instead, he looked at the test tube with a fanatical gaze.


    ¡°Hahahaha! Han Ning, you really succeeded!¡±


    ¡°You really extracted a dimensional beast gene in your first try!¡±


    In his ecstasy, Bai Yu hugged Han Ning tightly as if he had obtained a rare treasure.


    Then, Bai Yu pulled another batch of unknown beast corpses and said anxiously, ¡°Hurry, hurry! Let us try a few more times! If your talent can really extract genes all the time, I¡¯ll report this news!¡±


    ¡°When that time comes, Han Ning, you¡¯ll flourish!¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu personally cut open the corpse of that new space beast. His actions were swift and practiced.


    Han Ning was speechless.


    His mentor was indeed a workaholic!


    Just now, he had been thinking about how to send Bai Yu away and secretly study the newly acquired genes. But now, he could only start a new round and work honestly.


    Perhaps because he was amazed by Han Ning¡¯s ability, Bai Yu completed all the preliminary work for him so that Han Ning could focus on extracting.


    Han Ning, on the other hand, was able to successfully extract it again with his innate ability.


    Seeing this, Bai Yu tried a few more times.


    After five or six times in a row, Han Ning successfully extracted the targets¡¯ genes every single time. The master and disciple were both exhausted and sweating profusely.


    After the last gene extraction was done, Bai Yu sat down on the ground and said excitedly, ¡°Han Ning, your talent is indeed formidable!¡±


    ¡°I will report your abilities right away. When the time comes, you will definitely receive the attention of the entire financial group!¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu rushed out.


    Only then did Han Ning heave a sigh of relief.


    After hours of intense work, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    But soon, a smile appeared on his face.


    So far, he has conducted seven gene extractions.


    And in his personal status also stored the genes of seven different types of dimensional beasts.


    ¡°What a pity. The genes of these dimensional beasts are all at the normal level. They don¡¯t have the genes of the Origin-rank. I wonder what kind of changes will occur after the genes are activated.¡±


    With a slight hint of regret and anticipation, Han Ning didn¡¯t act rashly.


    Currently, he did not know what kind of process it was to activate the genes. If he made a big commotion and was discovered by others, it would be no different from digging his own grave.


    After all, the genes on the status were considered to be privately stashed away.


    By then, Bai Yu had already reported the news of Han Ning extracting genes to the Sun Family.


    After Sun Haoyuan, who was in charge of this area, received the news, he rushed to the research institute without stopping. At the same time, he reported this news to the Sun family.


    That night, Han Ning and Bai Yu were about to rest when Sun Haoyuan came in with his men.


    Seeing Han Ning, Sun Haoyuan¡¯s gloomy face was immediately filled with smiles.


    Glancing at the newly extracted genes, Sun Haoyuan laughed and said, ¡°Hahaha, Lil Ning, you really didn¡¯t disappoint me!¡±


    ¡°I have already reported the results to the family. After we verify the situation in a few days, we will definitely give you better treatment. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you do your job well, the Sun family will definitely not mistreat you!¡±


    Sun Haoyuan was beaming with joy, but Han Ning did not forget how the financial group treated ordinary immigrants.


    Although he was sneering in his heart, Han Ning still looked flattered on the outside.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior. I will definitely learn well from Professor!¡±


    ¡°Good, good, good! This child is worth teaching!¡±


    Han Ning¡¯s attitude was very pleasing to Sun Haoyuan. After that, Sun Haoyuan said a few polite words to Bai Yu and Han Ning. He also mentioned that Bai Yu¡¯s teachings were meritorious and would increase the corresponding treatment.


    Han Ning and Bai Yu thanked him immediately.


    After courteously asking around, Sun Haoyuan left with his men.


    However, as soon as he left the research institute, the smile on his face disappeared.


    After calling one of his soldiers over, Sun Haoyuan said coldly, ¡°Go, get a few people to keep an eye on Han Ning. If he does anything out of the ordinary, report to me immediately!¡±


    ¡°Roger!¡±


    After that soldier left, Sun Haoyuan muttered to himself, ¡°Kid, don¡¯t blame me for thinking too much. If a talent like you falls into the hands of the enemy forces, you might as well become a corpse!¡±


    As he said this, Sun Haoyuan¡¯s already gloomy face started to distort.


    The master and disciple did not know what Sun Haoyuan was thinking.


    Bai Yu, in particular, had been smiling ever since he sent Sun Haoyuan off.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. The Sun family will definitely give more money to the research institute. Some of my research projects will be successfully implemented!¡±


    Han Ning sighed softly.


    After spending some time together, Han Ning had already understood Bai Yu¡¯s character.


    This guy didn¡¯t care who he worked for, nor did he have any evil thoughts. He was only wholeheartedly focused on genetic research.


    ¡°Perhaps only such people can maintain their original aspirations in this era.¡±


    Han Ning sighed and said, ¡°Professor, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. ¡°Go ahead. You must be exhausted today.¡±


    Returning to his room, Han Ning began to study the genes he had acquired.


    Previously, Baiyu had told him before a person evolved to a higher dimension, they could only activate one type of gene at a time.


    The quality of the genes would determine the amount of power one would obtain after ¡®unlocking¡¯ in the future. It would also affect one¡¯s basic combat ability at their current stage.


    Good genes were equivalent to laying a more solid foundation for the human body. Only with a solid foundation would one be able to reach a higher realm and undergo a stronger transformation.


    So the first stage of gene selection was extremely important.


    Therefore, after browsing through the seven genes in the interface, Han Ning temporarily gave up on fusing them.


    These were all ordinary genes. Even if they were fused, they could only provide ordinary power. Han Ning¡¯s goal was to become an outstanding existence among the Dimension users at the initial stage!


    Only by doing so would he have the power to resist the financial group.


    Therefore, Han Ning set his eyes on the Divine Blood Ant!


    Previously, he had heard that the Divine Blood Ants were extremely precious and that their genes were at the Origin-rank. They were much stronger than ordinary genes. Therefore, Han Ning decided to endure for a period of time and wait for the opportunity to integrate with the Divine Blood Ants..

 Chapter 8

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    For the next few days, Han Ning worked, lived, and studied as usual.


    However, over the past few days, Han Ning noticed that ever since Sun Haoyuan came to the research institute, there were often soldiers around him.


    This had never happened before.


    Because of this, Han Ning even wondered if his talent had been exposed.


    However, the laboratory was always a sealed environment. Bai Yu had specifically instructed that outsiders were not to pry or disturb the experiment.


    And every time he carried out gene extraction, Han Ning hid his actions very well. He was a hundred percent sure that Bai Yu did not notice anything unusual.


    Therefore, Han Ning felt that he might be worrying for nothing.


    However, after noticing that someone was watching him, Han Ning became even more cautious. Even before he went to bed, he had to repeatedly recall the events of that day to make sure that he didn¡¯t reveal anything.


    These days lasted for a week.


    A week later, Han Ning woke up and was called out by the guards.


    An officer was waiting outside.


    When the officer saw Han Ning, he said, ¡°Hello, Han Ning. I¡¯m Zhang Jingyuan, the financial group¡¯s military officer in this area. Boss Sun asked me to inform you personally that from now on, you will be promoted to an honorary second lieutenant and enjoy the military treatment.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you will be in charge of the gene extraction of the Divine Blood Ants in the institute. Mr. Bai Yu will be your assistant.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Han Ning had just woken up and was still half-conscious. However, when he heard this news, he was immediately sober.


    ¡°Sir, why did my treatment suddenly improve so much?¡±


    Zhang Jingyuan explained, ¡°The Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes are very precious. After the financial group heard about your abilities, they specifically asked you to be in charge of extracting them. Furthermore, the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes are mainly used by the military, so they gave you a military rank.¡±


    So that was it!


    Han Ning was enlightened.


    It seemed like his achievements had already been acknowledged by the organization.


    Han Ning nodded. ¡°Understood.¡±


    Zhang Jingyuan extended his hand. ¡°Welcome, Second Lieutenant Han. We will be colleagues from now on. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to ask me for help.¡±


    Han Ning shook his hand.


    He could tell that Zhang Jingyuan was trying to get on his good side.


    Clearly, in the eyes of this superior officer, if he could be valued by the financial group¡¯s internal missions, his future would definitely be bright.


    In comparison, no matter how high a military officer¡¯s rank was, unless they were an inner member of the financial group, they would only be a tool of war for the financial group. Their status would be inferior.


    After bidding Zhang Jingyuan farewell, Han Ning arrived at the laboratory as usual.


    The moment he entered, Bai Yu looked at him with a smile.


    ¡°Han Ning, your performance this time was not bad. The Sun family has already acknowledged your achievements and approved the research institute¡¯s next phase of funding. This time, it¡¯s all thanks to you that the treatment has improved quite a bit.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Professor.¡±


    Han Ning smiled as well and briefly told him about Zhang Jingyuan looking for him.


    After that, the master and disciple started their day¡¯s work as usual.


    Arriving at the experiment table, Han Ning eagerly said, ¡°Professor, you¡¯ve received the instructions from the higher-ups, right? Let¡¯s extract the Divine Blood Ant today. Everyone says that this thing is precious, but I¡¯ve never seen it before!¡±


    Han Ning¡¯s real intention was to obtain the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes as soon as possible.


    The corpses in the research institute were all stored in the designated location and could not be randomly moved without permission.


    A few days ago, he was still thinking about how he could get in touch with the Divine Blood Ant. He did not expect that the Sun family would send the opportunity to him so quickly.


    However, Bai Yu made a small joke. ¡°Indeed, the master will starve to death if the disciple is taught!¡±


    Han Ning was a little embarrassed.


    After spending so much time with Bai Yu, they were already familiar with one another.


    Although Bai Yu was very serious in his research, he was still humorous in his life. In this dimensional space that was savage and gory, such a gentle personality was very rare.


    However, Han Ning was in a hurry to extract the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes, so he did not have time to joke with Bai Yu. Instead, he urged, ¡°Professor, don¡¯t waste time. Research is more important!¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡±


    Indeed, at the mention of research, Bai Yu¡¯s expression turned serious and his movements became much more agile.


    The master and disciple took out the Divine Blood Ant and placed it on the experiment table.


    The Divine Blood Ant¡¯s body presented a demonic blue color, and its appearance was similar to that of the ants on Earth.


    Although these creatures looked like ants, they had well-defined internal organs, bones, and other body structures.


    Furthermore, although the Divine Blood Ants were small in size, they would always move in groups. Furthermore, they had a savage nature. If one were to encounter them alone in the wilderness, they would be devoured within a few seconds without even a bone remaining!


    Due to its small size, the dissection process of the Divine Blood Ant was much more troublesome.


    However, Bai Yu¡¯s technique was very skillful. He was not affected by the size of the Divine Blood Ant when he dissected it.


    Looking at Bai Yu who was separating the internal organs and blood, Han Ning felt a little sympathetic.


    It was such a small thing. If he separated eight or ten of them in a day, he would have been blind.


    Finally, the dissection of the Divine Blood Ant reached the final step.


    Then, Han Ning and Bai Yu began to connect the separated cells to the extraction catheter. During this process, Han Ning quietly touched the parts of the Divine Blood Ant that had been separated.


    It had to be said that it was indeed more troublesome to try to touch such a small thing in secret than those big guys.


    Fortunately, Han Ning was very familiar with it and did not make any mistakes.


    After the contact, the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s gene option appeared on Han Ning¡¯s status. As usual, Han Ning distributed 1% of the gene to the test tube and added the rest to himself.


    A prompt immediately appeared in his mind.


    [Successfully extracted. Obtained Divine Blood Ant Gene x1 Point.]


    As some transparent liquid was added to the test tube, Bai Yu said happily, ¡°Hahaha, good disciple, your talent is still so useful! It would be a pity if you fail to extract such precious genes!¡±


    Han Ning nodded. In fact, since he had to separate 1% of the gene each time to hand it over, he only received 0.99 gene points.


    However, this was not important!


    What¡¯s important was after this extraction, he had already obtained the genes of the Divine Blood Ant!


    Next, he had to figure out the uniqueness of the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes, as well as its genotype, and use it for his first gene fusion!


    While Bai Yu was examining the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s gene, Han Ning pretended to ask casually, ¡°Professor, I have yet to come into contact with the domain of gene fusion. What is the process of fusion?¡±


    Bai Yu was in high spirits and did not think too much about it.


    He replied while checking, ¡°You want to see it?¡±<


    "How about this, we don''t have any ready targets to experiment on. I''ll find an experimental target tomorrow to demonstrate it to you.."

 Chapter 9

    That night, the master and disciple did not do any more work.


    Early the next morning, Han Ning arrived at the laboratory and saw Bai Yu waving at him excitedly.


    ¡°Han Ning, come here. I¡¯ll show you the whole process of gene fusion today.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Han Ning walked over. He did not expect Bai Yu to be so efficient.


    Walking to Bai Yu, Han Ning looked at the experiment table and his expression changed.


    There was a living soldier lying on it!


    Seeing that Han Ning was confused, Bai Yu took out the syringe and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you want to see the gene fusion? Don¡¯t just stand there. Hurry up and tie up the bindings around him.¡±<


    "This¡­ Professor, has this soldier awakened his talent?"


    Bai Yu did not even turn back. "Of course not. The financial group has already recruited the people who have awakened their talents. How could we have the chance to conduct experiments on them?"


    Han Ning hesitated after hearing that.


    He had heard from Bai Yu before that due to the different genetic structure of the human body and the dimensional beast, there was a high chance of failure when ordinary people fused their genes.


    This was like the rejection of incompatible organs. The fusion of two different genes would result in a huge rejection.


    People who awakened their talent seemed to have obtained the recognition of this space, thus the chances of failure during the fusion were extremely small.


    In other words, this ordinary soldier might very well become a sacrifice.


    Han Ning couldn''t help but look at their experimental subject.


    At this moment, the soldier lying on the experiment table was both afraid and excited.


    He yearned for the fusion to succeed so that he could become a Dimension user with powerful strength.


    However, the soldier clearly understood that if he were to carry out gene fusion with the body of an ordinary person, there was a higher chance that he would die suddenly, or even suffer a backlash from the dimensional beast genes and mutate into a deformed monster.


    Han Ning had mixed feelings. While putting on the restraining belt, he asked, "Professor, is the probability of failure high?"


    Bai Yu''s voice was extremely calm. He had already extracted some Baromon''s genes and injected them into the soldier''s body as he explained,


    "To be precise, there is almost no chance of success."


    "This experiment was just to show you the process of gene fusion, so I used the unstable abandoned genes during the extraction process. In this case, the possibility of the experimental subject successfully fusing is basically zero."


    As he spoke, the processed genes were injected into the soldier''s body.


    The soldier soon began to tremble, and the blood vessels on his body began to swell crazily. His limbs and back began to mutate to varying degrees.


    "Ahhh!!!"


    The fusion process looked ghastly, and the soldier screamed uncontrollably.


    Bai Yu stared at the soldier and explained, "Watch carefully. This is what happens the first time a person receives gene fusion. We use mutated genes, so the process is even more intense."


    "But even with normal genes, the process is also extremely intense."


    As he said that, Bai Yu looked at Han Ning. "You have to remember that gene fusion is against the natural order. It''s robbing the power of other species, therefore, the process will definitely not go smoothly. Rebirth is often accompanied by the destruction of myself!"


    Bai Yu''s tone was emotionless, but Han Ning was stunned by the situation.


    In his eyes, the soldier''s joints were twisted in a terrifying manner. He was bleeding from his seven orifices, and his muscles were slowly twisting!


    Seeing the situation, Bai Yu summoned the guards outside.


    "Carry it out. The experiment failed."


    It was as if he was looking at a lab rat.


    "Huuu¡­"


    After the soldier was carried away, Han Ning exhaled with difficulty.


    The process of gene fusion was truly shocking.


    Only then did he secretly rejoice.


    Fortunately, he did not attempt to fuse with it rashly. Otherwise, if he made a commotion, he would definitely be discovered!


    At the same time, Han Ning was shocked by Bai Yu''s composure.


    Although dissecting corpses, separating the bones and blood with Bai Yu recently had made him used to many bloody scenes, Han Ning still felt a chill in his heart. The person lying in front of him was a living person after all.


    Looking at Bai Yu again, this man thought nothing of it!


    Of course, this wasn''t because Bai Yu was cold-blooded. In the eyes of a researcher like him, all life on the experiment table was just his research subject.


    It was like how a researcher would never show mercy to a lab rat.


    After cleaning up the mess on the experiment table, Bai Yu said to Han Ning, "Let''s go."


    "With your ability, the Sun family will definitely allow you to fuse your genes and become a Dimension user. Therefore, you can make preparations now and choose suitable genes to fuse with in the future."


    Han Ning looked at him blankly.


    Noticing Han Ning''s thoughts, Bai Yu explained, "Don''t worry. That person just used an abandoned gene, which is why it failed. Since you awakened your innate talent, the Sun family will let you use normal genes to fuse with it, so don''t worry."


    "Of course, the fusion process is also very painful. This is the rejection between the two genes. It''s inevitable."


    Han Ning nodded and continued working with Bai Yu.


    However, Han Ning still cared about what Bai Yu said.


    His current level of life was only the most ordinary kind. He could fuse five different types of genes.


    And he had already stored the Divine Blood Ant''s genes. Although he could not fuse them immediately, it was only a matter of time.


    Therefore, it was time for him to find the next suitable gene to store.


    The Divine Blood Ant''s genes were at the Origin-rank so the next gene had to be at the Origin-rank too!


    However, at the moment, the corpses in the research institute, apart from the Divine Blood Ants, were all ordinary dimensional beasts. There were no Origin-rank dimensional beast corpses.


    Where should I find the next gene?


    Just as Han Ning was thinking about this, a commotion came from outside the laboratory.


    "Hurry up! Be careful!"


    As the shouts came nearer, an officer barged into the laboratory.


    Han Ning raised his head to take a look. It was Zhang Jingyuan, the person who had awarded him the honor.


    Bai Yu looked up from the pile of apparatus and said unhappily,


    "District Head Zhang, this is an important laboratory. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass. You know this, right?"


    Zhang Jingyuan apologized, "I''m sorry, Researcher Bai. I''m under orders to escort some precious dimensional beast corpses over. It''s very difficult to preserve these corpses, and they''re still rapidly decaying, so I have to be presumptuous."


    Only then did Bai Yu nodded. "Is that so? Han Ning, bring the energy barrier and follow me."


    "Understood."


    Han Ning hurriedly ran to the back and took out a translucent film before following Bai Yu and Zhang Jingyuan out of the laboratory..

 Chapter 10

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Arriving outside the laboratory, Bai Yu quickly walked towards the two soldiers under Zhang Jingyuan¡¯s lead.


    There was a huge box placed between the two soldiers. When they saw Bai Yu approaching, they made way for him.


    Bai Yu went forward and was about to open it when Zhang Jingyuan stopped him. ¡°Researcher Bai, the thing inside is called the Longevity Worm. Its genetic energy after death dissipates extremely easily. Please take precautions.¡±


    ¡°Longevity Worm?!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly turned around.


    ¡°This is a dimensional beast that can only be chanced upon by luck!¡±


    ¡°Han Ning, hurry up and open the quarantine layer. When I open the box later, cover it up with the quarantine layer!¡±


    ¡°Remember, you must be fast!¡±


    Han Ning rushed forward and prepared the film.


    Although he did not know what the Longevity Worm was, he could tell from Bai Yu¡¯s reaction that it was definitely something extremely precious.


    Seeing that Han Ning had already prepared the quarantine layer, Bai Yu carefully opened the cover of the box. At that instant, Bai Yu snatched the quarantine layer over and spread his hands to seal the opening!


    Obviously, he was worried that Han Ning wasn¡¯t fast enough.


    Han Ning was curious and couldn¡¯t help but look inside the box.


    Inside the box lay two shriveled worms that looked like slugs from Earth.


    Of course, they were already dead. Through the quarantine layer, Han Ning could clearly see that the corpses of the two worms had severely shrunk.


    Even so, they were nearly two meters long.


    But in reality, these two worms were killed early this morning. In Bai Yu¡¯s words, they were still warm.


    On the other side, Bai Yu wiped his hands and said happily, ¡°Thankfully, it was delivered in time. The body didn¡¯t completely wither and the genetic energy didn¡¯t dissipate completely.¡±


    Bai Yu looked at Zhang Jingyuan and said, ¡°Alright, leave the Longevity Worm to us. I¡¯ll complete the extraction by the afternoon.¡±


    Zhang Jingyuan nodded. ¡°Understood.¡±


    However, he added, ¡°Researcher Bai, it says that Han Ning must participate in the extraction of the Longevity Worm¡¯s gene. You might not be able to guarantee the success rate.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯s face stiffened.


    ¡°Got it, get lost!¡±


    ¡­


    Zhang Jingyuan left with his men.


    After entering the laboratory, Han Ning activated the mechanical arm and moved the Longevity Worm onto the experiment table.


    Bai Yu took out a liquid used to isolate air and energy and placed the corpse of the Longevity Worm inside.


    In order to prevent genetic energy and the corpse from rapidly decomposing, the master and disciple had to complete the extraction in this solution.


    This time, Bai Yu was even more cautious than before.


    Usually, before the experiment, the master and disciple would only carry out simple disinfection preparations. However, this time, Bai Yu specially took care of Han Ning¡¯s cleanliness. How he wished he could peel off a layer of skin from his head to toe.


    During the disinfection, Bai Yu sighed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Sun family to value you so much. Seems like they don¡¯t trust an old employee like me anymore.¡±


    Han Ning smiled bitterly. It seemed like Bai Yu was jealous of Zhang Jingyuan¡¯s words.


    However, it wasn¡¯t easy for him to reply. In fact, as a researcher, Bai Yu was indeed very capable. Han Ning could only say that his talent was suitable for this.


    After this small interlude, the master and disciple started to work together to extract the Longevity Worm.


    Throughout the entire process, Bai Yu was especially rigid, acting as though he was a beginner who was afraid of damaging the Longevity Worm.


    Seeing this, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Professor, what kind of creature is the Longevity Worm? Is it more precious than the Divine Blood Ant?¡±


    Bai Yu replied solemnly, ¡°Of course!¡±


    ¡°The Longevity Worm is the same as the Divine Blood Ant. They are both Origin-rank creatures. However, the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes are of the strength type, while the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes are of the vitality type!¡±


    ¡°The vitality gene not only increases lifespan, but also enhances strength, speed, and spirit at the same time. Simply put, this gene is like a life strengthening drug that can directly increase all your body¡¯s potential!¡±


    Han Ning finally understood.


    Since ancient times, the pursuit of immortality and health has never stopped.


    The genes of the vitality type could be said to have fulfilled the dreams of mankind that had been going on for thousands of years.


    However, Han Ning was still puzzled. ¡°But, Professor, is it very difficult to obtain vitality genes? In that case, how can a Dimension user gather five different types of genes?¡±


    Bai Yu shook his head. ¡°No, the value of vitality genes is not how rare they are, but how difficult it is to preserve them.¡±


    ¡°You have to understand that vitality is something that will always be lost. Living, working, and resting are all actions that actually consume vitality.¡±


    Han Ning nodded. Of course he knew.


    Bai Yu continued, ¡°Therefore, the energy of the vitality gene will dissipate quickly after the host dies. If it is not preserved properly, it will disappear completely in the blink of an eye. Other types of genes will not be like this.¡±


    ¡°We still haven¡¯t figured that out. Perhaps it¡¯s because vitality has the characteristic of dissipation, or perhaps it¡¯s because death and life are always in conflict.¡±


    Han Ning completely understood.


    A dimensional beast with the vitality genes should not be considered rare. However, the difficult part was the preservation of its corpse and genetic energy after killing it.


    In that case, he was considered lucky to have come into contact with these things in advance.


    Otherwise, if he were to kill a dimensional beast like the Longevity Worm alone in the wild in the future, he was afraid that if he was careless, the vitality genes inside would just disappear.


    Subsequently, Bai Yu stopped talking and started dissecting seriously.


    Because of the characteristics of the vitality gene, he did not dare to be distracted again.


    But Han Ning was not nervous.


    After many experiments, Han Ning had learned to be smart. Now, he was no longer waiting for the corpse to be dissected before touching the target for gene extraction. Instead, he was already secretly touching the complete corpse.


    Therefore, he had already made contact with the Longevity Worm while Bai Yu was preparing the equipment.


    As usual, Han Ning successfully extracted the genes from the Longevity Worm.


    This time, Han Ning actually extracted four points of genes!


    Usually, he could only extract a little.


    With some excitement, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but recall the notes of his talent.


    The efficiency of extracting genes was related to his understanding of Dimension and the level of the corpses. The minimum point he could extract was one!


    ¡°It seems that learning from Professor recently has improved my understanding of Dimension in all areas. Also, the true level of the Longevity Worm should be higher than that of the Divine Blood Ant. This allowed me to break through the minimum requirement for extraction.¡±


    Thinking about this, Han Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart and stored most of the genes into his personal status as usual.


    At the last step of extraction, Han Ning thought for a while and transferred 0.04 gene points into the test tube.


    Initially, Han Ning only wanted to part with 0.02.


    However, on second thought, he had already obtained the two genes of the Divine Blood Ant and the Longevity Worm. It was time for him to consider obtaining some personal space to fuse the genes.


    Because of this, he had to let the Sun family taste more benefits.


    Only then would he have enough confidence to fight for some personal space for himself..

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After extracting the genes of the Longevity Worm, Han Ning had a second Origin-rank gene.


    Furthermore, after such a long period of time, Han Ning had been following Bai Yu for gene extraction almost every day. There were already countless types of genes in his status.


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Lifeform: Normal (Evolution requires 0/100 Origin Power)


    Gene: Not awakened


    Lock (Origin Lock): Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused Genes: Normal ¡ª Gray Wolf Gene-Speed (9 Points), Thunder Beast Gene-Power (9 Points), Copper Iron Python Gene-Power (9 Points), Cloud Tiger Gene-Speed (9 Points)¡­


    Origin ¡ª Divine Blood Ant Gene-Power (72 Points), Longevity Worm Gene-Vitality (26 Points)


    After this period of learning and summary, Han Ning had grasped a pattern.


    Among the five types of genes, speed and strength were the most common. As for the other three types, Han Ning had never seen them on normal-level beasts.


    Looking at the many genes on his status, Han Ning felt a little regretful.


    Currently, he was restricted by his identity and could not casually fuse them. He could only temporarily store these genes.


    However, Han Ning wasn¡¯t in a hurry.


    As long as the genes were still there, he would be able to convert them into his own power sooner or later.


    Before that, he still had to think of a way to obtain origin power. He had to first advance his level of life.


    That was because Bai Yu had told him that if he wanted to carry out gene fusion, he had to first awaken the corresponding realm of the body. Otherwise, ordinary bodies would be destroyed directly because they could not withstand the backlash of genetic energy!


    The origin energy contained within the body of a dimensional life form was the key to unlocking the realms of the body. It was obtained by devouring flesh and blood.


    However, the Sun family had explicitly stipulated that without the family¡¯s permission, all subordinates were not allowed to privately obtain any form of power. Otherwise, it would be considered a betrayal of the family!


    Therefore, Han Ning could only continue to lie low.


    However, he did not expect that the day to begin the evolution of origin power would soon arrive.


    The news of the successful extraction of the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes was naturally reported to the person-in-charge, Sun Haoyuan.


    And such an important matter had to be reported to the Sun family.


    On the platform where Han Ning had just arrived, Sun Haoyuan was holding the extracted Longevity Bug¡¯s gene in his hand. He personally handed it to a trusted subordinate and ordered him to bring it back to the family.


    There were still many old people who were on the verge of death within the family. They had long stepped into the stage of dying, but they were still the pillars of the clan.


    The vitality genes from the Longevity Worms could help them extend their lifespans and maintain the stability of the upper echelons of the family.


    Moreover, Sun Haoyuan hoped to use this to raise his status within the family.


    This matter quickly spread to Sun Jingcheng, the Sun family¡¯s current family head.


    After receiving the Longevity Worm¡¯s gene, Sun Jingcheng was very happy.


    The temptation of longevity was extremely great for everyone, he was naturally no exception.


    However, Sun Jingcheng did not announce this news immediately.


    There were many elders in the family, but there were only a measly four points of genes from the Longevity Worm. If he was to announce it rashly, it would cause conflict within the family.


    Thus, Sun Jingcheng called over his son, Sun Mingze, the next candidate to lead the Sun family.


    ¡°Mingze, the genes of the Longevity Worm are very important. Go to the development planet yourself and inspect it at the research institute. Only mass production can satisfy the family¡¯s needs.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Father.¡±


    As the candidate for the next family head, Sun Mingze¡¯s way of doing things was very straightforward. On the same day, he arranged for a spacecraft to depart from the family and head to the development planet.


    That was where Han Ning and the others were.


    Currently, the technological advancement of the ancestral planet was very rapid. It would only take a few days for them to travel through galaxies and dimensions.


    A few days later, Sun Mingze arrived at the development planet.


    In order to prevent the news from leaking, Sun Mingze didn¡¯t inform Sun Haoyuan to accompany him. Instead, he brought his subordinates directly into the research institute.


    On this day, Han Ning and Bai Yu were dissecting a huge beast. Both master and disciple were covered in blood when they saw Sun Mingze walking in with two soldiers.


    After seeing the master and disciple, Sun Mingze was about to speak when Bai Yu chided, ¡°This is an important place for experiments. You are not allowed to enter without permission. Get out!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Bai¡­¡±


    ¡°Get out!¡±


    Sun Mingze felt awkward.


    Before he came, he knew that this Researcher Bai had a weird temper, but he did not expect that he would not even give him any face.


    One had to know that his status as the successor of the Sun family was highly respected no matter where he went. Even enemies had to treat him with respect.


    However, Bai Yu didn¡¯t seem to care about him at all. Sun Mingze had no choice but to retreat to the door and wait.


    Han Ning was shocked at this sight.


    From the way that person dressed, it was obvious that he was a big shot. His mentor did not even bother to be courteous to him?


    However, he did not ask too much. Bai Yu¡¯s identity was special and he had long noticed something from Sun Haoyuan¡¯s attitude, so he did not make a fuss.


    This time, the dimensional beast was huge. The master-disciple duo only managed to complete the extraction process at night. With Han Ning around, the result was naturally satisfactory.


    After he was done, only then did Bai Yu bring Han Ning out.


    Sun Mingze had waited an entire afternoon and was already very impatient.


    When he saw Bai Yu coming out, he said patiently, ¡°Mr. Bai, I¡¯m here on the orders of my family to examine the genes of the Longevity Worm.¡±


    ¡°What the family means is that we must mass-produce the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes. Many of the senior executives have already reached the end of their lifespan and urgently need the vitality genes to prolong their lives.¡±


    However, Bai Yu shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Transporting the corpses of the Longevity Worm is very difficult. The energy from vitality-type genes can also easily dissipate after the original host dies. If we want to mass produce it, we have to solve these two problems first.¡±


    Sun Mingze frowned. ¡°But the Longevity Worm was found on another planet¡­¡±


    After a pause, Sun Mingze asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow me there and build another research facility?¡±


    This time, it was Bai Yu¡¯s turn to frown.


    ¡°You mean to give up on this place?¡±


    Sun Mingze was silent for a long time, as if he was weighing something.


    After an entire five minutes, he nodded and said, ¡°I will report this matter to the family. Mr. Bai should know that those elders are the pillars of our Sun family. I believe that the family will agree to my request.¡±


    Bai Yu looked at Sun Mingze. ¡°As long as the higher-ups agree, I don¡¯t have any objections. However, I have to bring Han Ning along. Only he can extract without fail.¡±


    Sun Mingze glanced at Han Ning. ¡°Is this the metahuman who can extract genes with a hundred percent rate? Of course! Only he can ensure the efficiency of the extraction!¡±


    After saying that, Sun Mingze hurriedly took his leave.


    As the heir to the family, he had too many things to do.


    Now, he was going to report the relocation of the research institute to his family..

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After Sun Mingze left, Han Ning asked the question in his heart while they were eating.


    ¡°Professor, who was that person just now? You seemed very cold to him?¡±


    Bai Yu replied casually, ¡°Sun Mingze, the eldest son of the Sun family and the next heir of the family.¡±


    Holy shit¡­


    Han Ning was shocked.


    This mentor of his was really ruthless. He did not even give face to the future family head of the Sun family!


    Han Ning stopped asking after getting his answer.


    Bai Yu¡¯s attitude towards Sun Mingze involved some matters regarding the upper echelons of the Sun family. These things were not for him to care about.


    For the next few days, the master and disciple experimented and lived their lives.


    During this period, the two of them worked together to extract some Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes for the military to use and Han Ning also benefited greatly from this. The Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes on his status were stored to 180 points.


    It was a pity that there were not many of these beasts, and they could not be stored in large quantities. Otherwise, Han Ning would have made a fortune long ago!


    However, Han Ning also noticed that Bai Yu had started to seal some important things these few days and seemed to be preparing to leave.


    After Han Ning asked several times, Bai Yu smiled and said, ¡°Those old things that are about to be buried won¡¯t give up. In order to survive, they will definitely let us migrate.¡±


    As expected, a week later, the order to move was sent to the research institute.


    Along with the order were also guards who helped the research institute move.


    Bai Yu was not surprised at all. He briefed some things to be taken note of in an orderly manner.


    After a day, all the important things in the research institute were collected. Together with Bai Yu, Han Ning embarked on the transfer journey overnight.


    The Longevity Worm was discovered on another planet, and everyone had to take a spaceship over. During this process, they had to pass through a hyperspace tunnel similar to a wormhole, so everyone had to enter the sleep capsule to hibernate in order to resist the fluctuations inside the wormhole.


    Before boarding the ship, Han Ning had asked Bai Yu why human technology could be launched in space but would fail to work on the planet.


    In the end, Bai Yu told him that he only studied genes and did not know any advanced technological knowledge.


    As such, Han Ning could only bury this question in his heart.


    After arriving at their destination, Han Ning found out that the military leader of this operation was Zhang Jingyuan¡¯s trusted aide, Su Jie.


    Before this, Han Ning had already realized that this relocation might be a chance for him to leave the Sun family, so he had to make use of the time to obtain some useful information.


    Hence, Han Ning found an opportunity to get close to Su Jie.


    Using Zhang Jingyuan¡¯s name, Han Ning soon got to know him.


    The two of them rode side by side on the dimensional beasts as they conversed.


    As he spoke, Han Ning learned that this planet had been named Project 4. Compared to the development planet, this place was even more desolate, and the battle between humans and beasts was even more brutal.


    As the two of them were chatting, a roar came from the front.


    ¡°Kill! Kill this monster!¡±


    ¡°Bastard! Smack its head! Are you trying to kill us?!¡±


    ¡­


    Hearing the roar, Su Jie seemed to be very interested. He turned to Han Ning and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been staying at the research institute all this time. You haven¡¯t seen any real fighting, right?¡±


    Han Ning nodded. Su Jie laughed and said, ¡°That won¡¯t do. As the second lieutenant of our military, how can you not see blood!¡±


    Then, Su Jie turned around and ordered, ¡°Rest for half an hour!¡±


    He then called out to Han Ning, ¡°Come, I¡¯ll bring you over to take a look!¡±


    As soon as he said that, Su Jie rode his beast forward quickly. Han Ning glanced at Bai Yu and quickly followed Su Jie after gaining his approval.


    The two came to a hill. Han Ning looked up and saw four or five people attacking a dying dimensional beast on the hilltop.


    The dimensional beast¡¯s body was like a giant rock, its head and tail were indistinguishable. Dark green blood was gushing out from every part of its body.


    The few of them held crude weapons in their hands as they carefully attacked the dimensional beasts.


    The severely injured dimensional beast let out a hoarse roar. Just as everyone thought that it had lost its ability to resist, the dimensional beast¡¯s huge body rolled on the ground, crushing the two people in front of it into meat paste!


    The two people behind immediately took the opportunity to stab their weapons into the dimensional beast¡¯s body!


    But right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred!


    The human who had not made a move all this while actually took advantage of the moment when the two of them attacked to cut off their companion¡¯s arm!


    ¡°Why¡ª!¡±


    Han Ning was stunned by the series of changes and bloody scenes.


    Su Jie crossed his arms and said calmly, ¡°How is it? Do you find it incomprehensible?¡±


    Han Ning nodded blankly.


    It was easy to understand why dimensional beasts and humans were fighting each other for their lives.


    However, what Han Ning didn¡¯t understand was why these companions would kill their own people when the beast was still alive!


    Su Jie saw through his confusion and explained, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be surprised. Life is now divided into different levels, and the origin power contained within the dimensional beast is the key to raising one¡¯s level of life!¡±


    Su Jie then explained everything to Han Ning.


    From Su Jie, Han Ning learned that other than Normal and Origin, there was still a more advanced level of life called Primal.


    As for the even higher levels, Su Jie did not know either.


    If one wanted to evolve to a higher level of life, one would have to devour the blood and flesh of the dimensional beasts in order to obtain the origin power within their bodies.


    The reason those people had killed each other was so that they could monopolize the origin power within the dimensional beast¡¯s body and obtain better evolution.


    Han Ning didn¡¯t understand this because he had never experienced a fight in the wilderness.


    In fact, in the entire Dimension, apart from the military and some large factions, there were always all sorts of conflicts between solo hunters.


    In the wilderness, it was common for partners who had cooperated sincerely a second ago to stab each other in the back for benefits.


    While the two of them were conversing, the battle in the distance had already ended.


    What made Han Ning¡¯s hair stand on end was that none of the five humans survived due to the backstabbing and prolonged battle. Instead, the severely injured dimensional beast dragged its broken body and stumbled away.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    It was as if Su Jie had watched a great show and he walked back contentedly.


    Han Ning asked with lingering fear, ¡°These guys are so crazy, what if they attack us?¡±


    One had to understand that their mounts were also dimensional beasts!


    Su Jie waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. These people are not stupid enough to provoke our military. Otherwise, with their limited resources, they will be reduced to ashes in no time!¡±


    Han Ning was relieved.


    It seemed that no matter when, the army was always powerful.


    After the two returned to the team, everyone set off again.


    After another three days of trekking, everyone finally arrived at their destination.


    This was an empty plain with unknown plants growing on it. It looked much more beautiful than the wilderness.


    Su Jie called for people to unload the equipment and found Bai Yu at the same time. ¡°Researcher Bai, this is the new research facility. The military will help you complete the basic infrastructure in the coming days.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded and started explaining his plans for the new research institute to Su Jie.


    Han Ning took this opportunity to observe his surroundings so that he could familiarize himself with the environment. This was a preparation he had to make if he wanted to escape this area in the future..

 Chapter 13

    A new planet and a new region filled Han Ning¡¯s heart with freshness.


    Because this relocation was too rushed, everything in the research institute needed to be built on the spot. Therefore, in the first few days, Han Ning and Bai Yu could only follow the guards and live in the military tents.


    During this period, Bai Yu showed the spirit of a researcher and brought Han Ning to inspect the area every day.


    This area was newly developed by the Sun family. All species were very different from the previous place and that interested Bai Yu.


    This was undoubtedly a good thing for Han Ning.


    With the excuse of an inspection, he could openly study the escape routes.


    Without the restrictions of the research institute, Han Ning felt more comfortable.


    When he was at the research institute, he had to face the corpses every day to do experiments. Han Ning was already tired of it.


    However, these days did not last long.


    The military was very efficient. In less than half a month, the initial structure of the research institute had been established.


    In regards to their purpose, the Sun family named this new place the Research Institute of Longevity.


    Although some of the facilities inside were not perfected, the sophisticated experimental equipment was originally brought over from the previous research institute. Therefore, the research institute here already had the preliminary requirements to conduct experiments and research.


    Han Ning had no choice but to accept reality and return to the boring experiments and extractions.


    This time, the location where the Longevity Worm was discovered was very close to the research institute. After further development, the Sun family¡¯s personnel also discovered that there were indeed more Longevity Worms here.


    Therefore, the Sun family ordered that the extraction of the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes must be sped up.


    The temptation of longevity made those old fellows impatient.


    To the master and disciple, this undoubtedly increased their workload.


    Recently, Han Ning had been facing huge worms every day, from early morning to late night.


    Returning back to hell after experiencing the bliss of heaven, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but complain in his heart.


    Fortunately, after the genes were extracted, Han Ning could also obtain huge benefits and absorb most of the genes for his own use.


    Furthermore, the Sun family discovered many new species in this area.


    Thus, other than extracting the Longevity Worm, the master and disciple could often come into contact with some creatures that they had never seen before.


    This was the most exciting thing for Bai Yu.


    The extraction process continued, and the genes of the Longevity Worm were sent back to the Sun family from the new research institute.


    All of the elders were delighted to receive the genes.


    On this day, Family Head Sun Jingcheng found Sun Mingze.


    ¡°Mingze, the elders¡¯ lifespans have been extended by quite a bit this time. Everyone is very satisfied. That newcomer called Han Ning has contributions that can¡¯t go unnoticed.¡±


    Sun Mingze nodded.


    During this period of time, due to the longevity gene, Han Ning¡¯s talent for gene extraction had spread throughout the Sun family.


    Many elders wanted to see this young man and give him a reward personally.


    At this moment, Sun Mingze replied, ¡°Indeed. Although Han Ning is only a junior, without his talent, the extraction of the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly.¡±


    Sun Jingcheng thought for a moment. ¡°How about this, inform the person-in-charge of Planet Project 4 and get them to send Han Ning the best quality dimensional beast flesh to start off his evolution.¡±


    ¡°We have to rope in such a talent.¡±


    Sun Mingze received the order and left, passing it on to Planet Project 4.


    The person in charge here was called Chen Jizhang. He wasn¡¯t a member of the Sun family and was just an external member of the Sun family. The Sun family didn¡¯t place much importance on the newly developed planet, so they let an outsider manage it temporarily.


    Chen Jizhang clearly knew his status as a dabbler. After receiving the order, he hurriedly went to the Research Institute of Longevity to find Han Ning and offer him some of the meat from the dimensional beast.


    Han Ning looked at the meat sent by Chen Jizhang and found it hard to stomach.


    The flesh and blood were fresh and had not been processed. Although they were neatly cut and preserved, it did not change the fact that they were raw flesh and blood!


    Beside him, Bai Yu looked at Han Ning¡¯s changing expression and smiled. ¡°Why? You can¡¯t stomach it?¡±


    Han Ning remained silent.


    Bai Yu continued, ¡°Fresh flesh and blood can better store origin power and genetic energy. After manually processing it, the energy and origin power will be greatly drained.¡±


    Chen Jizhang also said, ¡°Assistant Han, there are many people out there fighting to the death over such a small thing. Don¡¯t be so melodramatic.¡±


    Chen Jizhang addressed Han Ning respectfully. His status was indeed lower than the Sun family¡¯s internal members.


    Or rather, as the person in charge, he was at most a tool used to do odd jobs in the early stages and could be replaced at any time.


    Under their persuasion, Han Ning finally accepted the gift.


    It was not that he was being melodramatic, but his past habits made him unable to accept eating meat raw.


    Chen Jizhang heaved a sigh of relief.


    If Han Ning insisted on not taking it, the Sun family would definitely blame him for his incompetence.


    After Chen Jizhang took his leave, Bai Yu asked someone to place those meat in Han Ning¡¯s residence. He instructed, ¡°The meat will contain the genes of this dimensional beast. Do not fuse them without permission. The wild genes are not refined. If you fuse them rashly, it will easily cause adverse mutations.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, before your body evolves, recklessly devouring genes will only destroy your body!¡±


    Han Ning listened attentively and memorized Bai Yu¡¯s words.


    At night, Han Ning began to overcome the repulsion in his heart and began to devour the raw meat of the dimensional beasts.


    What surprised Han Ning was that the flesh did not have a strong odor. Instead, it was very¡­ warm?


    Han Ning didn¡¯t know how to describe them. In short, they were actually quite delicious.


    Furthermore, there were indeed some genes in the raw meat. However, Han Ning remembered Bai Yu¡¯s instructions and only absorbed these genes into his dimension status.


    Soon, Han Ning finished eating the meat.


    About two hours later, the beast¡¯s flesh was digested and absorbed.


    Han Ning could also feel that his body had started to become more powerful and his mental state had become more active due to the nourishment from the origin power.


    At the same time, the origin power column in his dimension status also increased.


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Lifeform: Normal (Origin Power 23/100)


    Gene: Not awakened


    Lock (Origin Lock): Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused Genes: Normal ¡ª Gray Wolf Gene-Speed (9 Points), Thunder Beast Gene-Power (9 Points), Copper Iron Python Gene-Power (9 Points), Cloud Tiger Gene-Speed (9 Points)¡­


    Origin ¡ª Divine Blood Ant Gene-Power (216 Points), Longevity Worm Gene-Vitality (130 Points)


    Looking at the changes in his body, Han Ning revealed a trace of joy.


    Recently, he had been doing extraction work with Bai Yu on the Longevity Worms and Divine Blood Ants. Naturally, the two genes on the interface were increasing.


    As for evolution¡­


    It had been about four months since he came to this dimension.


    Until today, he had finally obtained his first origin power.. This also meant that he had officially stepped onto the path of evolution!

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    This time, Han Ning had obtained 23 points of origin power from devouring the dimensional beast¡¯s flesh and blood.


    He still needed 77 points to evolve to the Origin level.


    Han Ning wasn¡¯t in a hurry. The growth of origin power needed to be done step by step. It didn¡¯t mean that the more origin power he could obtain in one go, the better.


    The individuals in the wilderness were hysterical because of their survival, but in reality, if they wanted to allow the origin power to nourish their bodies better, it was best to obtain it in numerous small amounts.


    However, even though he had only obtained 23 points of origin power, Han Ning could still feel his energy increasing quite a bit in the following days.


    In the past, he would be forced to rest after a morning of experiments, but now, he could carry out an entire day of experiments and research.


    It was also at this moment that he finally understood why Bai Yu was able to maintain his energy at all times.


    From the looks of it, Bai Yu had already obtained origin power and had even evolved to the Origin realm.


    Han Ning wasn¡¯t sure if he had fused genes.


    In the days that followed, Chen Jizhang would send Han Ning some dimensional beast meat every once in a while.


    In order to make Han Ning more loyal, the Sun Family had sent over all the flesh and blood they had obtained from the body of a Origin-level beast. However, what puzzled Han Ning was that the flesh and blood that the Sun Family had sent over all had their genes extracted. They only contained origin power but no genetic energy.


    This was to prevent Han Ning from secretly obtaining genes from the flesh.


    After all, although it was risky to integrate an unrefined gene, it was still possible to succeed.


    Little did they know that Han Ning had secretly stored up countless genes and was waiting for an opportunity to integrate them.


    As time passed, the amount of origin power in Han Ning¡¯s body increased. His strength, speed, and other physical attributes also increased substantially.


    A week later, Han Ning had devoured the dimensional beast¡¯s flesh three times. Each time, he had obtained a varying amount of origin power, but after three times, the amount of origin power in his body had reached 75.


    At this rate, Han Ning would only be able to evolve after consuming the meat of the dimensional beast two more times.


    Because of this, Han Ning began to pay more attention to escaping.


    The Research Institute of Longevity had just been established, and much infrastructure was still in the process of being perfected. There was not even a decent fence around it.


    Furthermore, as the Sun family had just started developing this area, they did not have enough overall control over the area, and they did not have enough manpower to protect the research institute.


    This undoubtedly made Han Ning¡¯s escape much easier.


    To be honest, life in the research institute was peaceful without any danger. It was many times better than the bloody battles outside.


    However, Han Ning did not want to become a tool in the hands of the Sun family. He wanted to control his own fate.


    Therefore, whenever Han Ning was free, he would chat with the soldiers guarding the area so that he could find out what was going on.


    Those soldiers did not have a high status. They were even willing to suck up to Han Ning, the ¡°new popular person¡±, and secretly revealed many things to Han Ning.


    This included some of the surrounding terrain, as well as the general area where the army was stationed.


    Of course, Han Ning would ask about these matters in the name of possibly going on an expedition in the future and seeking help from the military at any time.


    Otherwise, once the Sun family found out about his intentions, he would be finished!


    When he was probing the information, Han Ning noticed something very important!


    Since the outer fence of the Research Institute of Longevity had not been completed, the entire institute was exposed to the wilderness.


    And in this region, there would often be a few scattered people moving about.


    One night, while Han Ning was talking to a platoon commander in the military, a team of dimensional users came to attack the research institute.


    The squad leader did not panic. He casually assigned four soldiers to take care of it.


    Han Ning recalled Su Jie¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Didn¡¯t Officer Su say that scattered people don¡¯t dare to provoke the military? Why would these people dare to attack the research institute so blatantly?¡±


    The platoon commander sneered. ¡°Hmph, Assistant Han must know that these lowlifes can only obtain unrefined genes in the wild. Fusing with such genes can easily result in sudden death or malignant mutations.¡±


    Han Ning was enlightened.


    ¡°So, they attacked the research institute in order to find purer genes here and successfully fuse them?¡±


    The platoon commander nodded. Han Ning then remembered that the fusion of genes was very important to every Dimension user!


    After a person¡¯s life was upgraded, they would reach the first advanced genetic realm, which was known as the ¡®Ultimate Strength¡¯.


    If he wanted to continue advancing from the realm of Ultimate Strength, he would need to obtain sufficient origin power and a complete set of strength genes.


    The difficulty of obtaining genes in the wild was too high. Killing a dimensional beast would generally only give one or two points of genes. Furthermore, they would have to fight with the people around them in the open and in the dark. In addition, the risk of fusing with the original genes without any refinement was extremely high!


    Therefore, these unaffiliated individuals risked their lives in an attempt to obtain the genetic points required for evolution from the research institute.


    As the two of them spoke, the battle in the distance came to an end.


    One of the four soldiers dispatched suddenly rose up.


    Han Ning could only see that this soldier was like a wild beast that had gone berserk. With a casual strike, he could send the unaffiliated individuals around him flying. Under the heavy blow, his opponents were directly reduced to a bloody mess!


    The platoon commander pointed at the soldier who had started a massacre and said, ¡°Assistant Han, look. This is a soldier who has completed the fusion of his strength genes after his evolution of life.¡±


    ¡°After completing the gene fusion, he can actually be so sick!¡±


    Han Ning¡¯s heart was beating wildly.


    Previously, he had thought that he could try to escape from this area after he advanced to the Origin. But now, it seemed that he was lucky not to have done so.


    Although there were not many soldiers guarding the area, who knew how many of them had fused genes!


    Moreover, the soldier just now had only completed the fusion of his strength genes. It could be said that he had completed the first stage of transformation.


    If there was someone among the soldiers who had completed two or three transformations, he would not have any power to resist!


    The platoon commander glanced at Han Ning.


    ¡°Assistant Han, don¡¯t think too much. As long as you don¡¯t have any other intentions, you¡¯ll surpass us sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°The platoon commander must be joking.¡±


    Although Han Ning said he didn¡¯t care, his heart skipped a beat.


    Damn it!


    Did the other party see through him and intentionally warn him?


    In order to avoid being exposed, Han Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart. After chatting for a while, he left as usual.


    After returning to his residence, Han Ning continued to eat some of the dimensional beast¡¯s flesh.


    After this, the origin power in Han Ning¡¯s body had reached 96 points.. If he devoured it one more time, he would be able to directly evolve and enter an even higher realm!

 Chapter 15

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    As the transformation approached, Han Ning¡¯s overall condition was quite good.


    The common definition of the Ultimate Strength Realm was to increase the physical strength of the Dimension user. However, to be honest, the improvement of every realm was a complete sublimation of the human body.


    Therefore, Han Ning could clearly feel that during this period of time, his strength, speed, spirit and other aspects had become stronger and stronger.


    This feeling of his entire body transforming was extremely wonderful. Now, all he needed to do was wait for Chen Jizhang to bring some more dimensional beast meat. Then, he would be able to break through the shackles of his body and step into the Ultimate Strength Realm.


    The attraction of life evolution made Han Ning a little impatient.


    Two days later, Chen Jizhang returned.


    This time, Chen Jizhang also brought some dimensional beast meat with him and said in an ingratiating manner, ¡°The higher-ups said that they hope that Assistant Han will be able to serve the family better after evolving. When that time comes, Assistant Han will definitely soar to great heights. At that time, I hope that you can put in a few good words for me.¡±


    In regards to such undisguised flattery, Han Ning only said a few perfunctory words.


    Not long later, he would be breaking away from the Sun family¡¯s rule. How could there be such a thing as soaring to great heights?


    At night, after Han Ning finished eating the meat, he waited for the transformation to happen while thinking about what happened that night.


    At that time, Han Ning had personally witnessed how powerful humans were after fusing with their genes. He was even more uncertain about escaping from the research institute.


    As he considered, waves of heat began to flow from his body.


    As the heat spread throughout his body, his dimension status changed.


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Lifeform: Normal-Ultimate Strength (0/200)


    Gene: Not awakened


    Lock (Origin Lock): Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused Genes: Normal ¡ª Gray Wolf Gene-Speed (9 Points), Thunder Beast Gene-Power (9 Points), Copper Iron Python Gene-Power (9 Points), Cloud Tiger Gene-Speed (9 Points)¡­


    Origin ¡ª Divine Blood Ant Gene-Power (261 Points), Longevity Worm Gene-Vitality (156 Points)


    ¡°Haha, this can be considered an extraordinary body, right?¡±


    The evolution was completed in an instant. Han Ning could not help but laugh.


    Right now, he could clearly feel the blood in his body boiling and surging, and there seemed to be a violent energy roiling all over his body. If he didn¡¯t unleash it, he would feel uncomfortable!


    This also meant that Han Ning had officially broken away from the category of normal people, and had stepped into the category of ¡°Ultimate Strength!¡±


    The most important thing in the realm of Ultimate Strength was the increase in strength. A Dimension user who had reached this realm was at least ten times stronger than an ordinary person!


    Furthermore, this gap would only grow larger and larger with the gene fusion of the strength genes!


    And to truly complete the fusion, one needed a hundred strength genes.


    Han Ning had enough gene points now, but he needed an opportunity to fuse with the genes. This was because he could not expose his strength under the Sun family¡¯s eyes.


    As for the next stage which was Ultimate Vitality, not only did Han Ning need to complete the fusion of his strength genes, but he also needed to consume another 200 points of origin power. This was not something wasn¡¯t as urgent.


    Early the next morning, Han Ning felt full of energy. He could feel his footsteps becoming stronger as he walked.


    Arriving at the laboratory, Bai Yu immediately noticed the change in Han Ning¡¯s temperament and smiled. ¡°Congratulations, Han Ning. It seems that you¡¯ve successfully advanced.¡±


    Han Ning replied with a smile, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Professor.¡±


    Bai Yu did not say anything else. As someone who had been through this before, he had long been indifferent about evolution.


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, the master and disciple began their daily work.


    But today, Han Ning was a little distracted.


    With his body strengthened, Han Ning¡¯s heart gradually became restless.


    If last night, he just wanted to break through, then after breaking through, Han Ning¡¯s desire for gene fusion had reached an irrepressible level.


    When he was wiping the experiment table, Han Ning accidentally knocked over a bottle of drug.


    Bai Yu noticed Han Ning¡¯s abnormality and reminded him, ¡°Stay calm. You will get to fuse your genes one day!¡±


    Han Ning was shocked.


    His emotions were so obvious!


    It was fortunate that Bai Yu was the first one to discover it. If it were anyone else, they might have discovered something unusual if they were to dig deeper!


    With Bai Yu¡¯s reminder, Han Ning quickly adjusted himself.


    Han Ning didn¡¯t make any more mistakes in his work.


    At night, Han Ning seriously reflected on his performance during the day.


    He was still too impatient. How could he almost expose his true thoughts just because of a small ripple!


    After thinking about it, Han Ning still couldn¡¯t fall asleep. The restlessness in his heart and the quality of his life that was constantly strengthening made his spirit unusually active.


    Han Ning had no choice but to go out for a walk.


    Before fusing the genes, it was impossible to escape from this area. However, he could observe a safe area ahead of time. When there was an unexpected incident, he could find a place where there was no one and secretly fuse with the genes!


    However, before he could take a few steps out, he saw Su Jie, who was leading the team, rushing over.


    Seeing Han Ning, Su Jie did not have the time to greet him. He went straight to the point and said, ¡°Where¡¯s Researcher Bai? Ask him to come out. We found a precious creature!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Captain Su?¡±


    Bai Yu was in the laboratory late at night. When he heard Su Jie¡¯s shout, he walked out.


    Su Jie did not explain much and just pulled the two of them out.


    ¡°Gentlemen, we found a strange dimensional beast that we have never seen before in a cave five kilometers away. Once this beast dies, its body will rapidly decay and its genetic energy will dissipate completely. We are here to specially invite the both of you to go over and take a look.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Bai Yu perked up.


    ¡°It will dissipate after death. This is similar to the Longevity Worm. Could there be something more important than the longevity gene in its body?¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu turned to Han Ning. ¡°Go, get the isolation layer and testing equipment. Let¡¯s go over and take a look!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Han Ning turned around to retrieve the equipment before following Su Jie to the cave.


    Along the way, Su Jie urged the Cloud Chasing Horses to speed up.


    Cloud Chasing Horses were now a mount commonly tamed by humans. They were the strange two-legged animals that Han Ning had first seen.


    This kind of beast was one of the few creatures in this dimension that had a mild temperament. When it ran at full speed, its speed was no less than a high-class sports car.


    Outside the research institute, Su Jie urged his Cloud Chasing Horse to speed up as he said, ¡°The dimensional beasts over there are a newly found species. Before we came, our people had already surrounded them. However, these dimensional beasts are very ferocious. If we reach too late, accidents might happen.¡±


    Han Ning and Bai Yu hastened their pace upon hearing that.


    Whether it was the research of the new species or the lives of the soldiers, they did not dare to waste any time..

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up. The people there might not be able to stop the beast from breaking through!¡±


    Along the way, Su Jie urged them repeatedly.


    It was Han Ning¡¯s first time riding a beast so quickly, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel uncomfortable.


    Even though he had already completed the transformation of Ultimate Strength Realm, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart from the constant bumps after riding furiously for three kilometers.


    Shortly after that, Han Ning seemed to be hallucinating.


    Amidst the violent turbulence, he began to feel that the surrounding mountains were shaking, and the mounts had also become restless.


    Rumbling sounds could be heard from afar, as if the mountain was collapsing.


    For a moment, Han Ning didn¡¯t understand what was going on.


    After all, he was someone who had evolved. He wouldn¡¯t start hallucinating just by riding a dimensional beast, right?


    Just as he was in doubt, Su Jie suddenly shouted, ¡°It¡¯s an earthquake! Han Ning, Researcher Bai, get off the mount and hide!¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, Su Jie rolled off the beast and pulled Han Ning to the ground.


    Bai Yu was slightly further away from him, but he was more agile than Su Jie.


    The moment he felt the earthquake, he had already jumped to the ground and rolled to the empty space beside him.


    At this moment, the disparity between them was evident.


    As a military personnel, Su Jie had a rich sense of crisis. Bai Yu had lived in this dimension for a long time and naturally had a certain degree of adaptability. When the two of them landed, they only staggered a few times.


    In comparison, Han Ning was at a disadvantage.


    Because the beast was running at high speed and Han Ning was dragged to the ground by Su Jie, he couldn¡¯t stand on his feet when he landed, causing him to scrape his arm until it was a bloody mess.


    Fortunately, this small injury was nothing to an evolved body.


    However, Han Ning still took a deep breath from the pain.


    After the three of them landed on the ground, the dimensional beasts that they were riding also fled in all directions.


    At this moment, the surrounding mountains were shaking and the ground was shaking continuously. Some strange trees nearby were swaying and collapsing.


    Han Ning and the others didn¡¯t dare to move recklessly. They could only wait for the first shockwave to pass.


    When the tremors finally calmed down, Su Jie immediately stood up and spat.


    ¡°F*ck! I knew those beasts were restless today. It turns out there¡¯s going to be an earthquake!¡±


    He then glanced at Bai Yu and Han Ning. Seeing that Han Ning was injured, he asked hurriedly, ¡°Are you two hurt?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Bai Yu and Han Ning shook their heads.


    Only then did Su Jie look into the distance.


    ¡°Such a strong earthquake. I wonder how the brothers guarding the cave are doing.¡±


    As soon as Su Jie finished speaking, two blurry figures appeared in the distance.


    When the two of them got closer, Su Jie realized that they were the subordinates who had stayed near the cave.


    As the two soldiers approached, one of them gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Captain! The earthquake came too suddenly. The brothers who were guarding the cave didn¡¯t manage to evacuate in time and died there!¡±


    ¡°What! Nonsense!¡±


    Su Jie¡¯s face turned cold.


    The combat power of his soldiers was not bad. The cave entrance was not far from the open area. Even if the earthquake was sudden, it was impossible that not a single one of them escaped!


    Another soldier explained, ¡°Captain, at that time, the beasts in the cave were frightened and ran around everywhere. The brothers were affected by the earthquake and had to deal with the beasts. That was why they were completely wiped out.¡±


    ¡°The two of us were stationed at the outer perimeter and weren¡¯t attacked by the dimensional beasts. That¡¯s how we survived.¡±


    Listening to the soldier¡¯s explanation, Su Jie fell silent.


    Calamity and man-made disasters were unavoidable accidents.


    Those soldiers were elites under him. It was heartbreaking to see them die just like that.


    Seeing that Su Jie was silent, Bai Yu said, ¡°Captain Su, it¡¯s useless to say anything now. Let¡¯s go over and take a look. Get your two subordinates to inform the others and see if we can rescue them.¡±


    Han Ning also comforted him. ¡°That¡¯s right, Captain Su. What if there are survivors among those soldiers?¡±


    Only then did Su Jie calm down.


    Just now, he was overwhelmed by surprise and anger.


    After regaining his senses, Su Jie immediately ordered the two soldiers, ¡°The two of you go and inform our men to come and rescue them. Researcher Bai and I will go over and take a look.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    The two soldiers obeyed and left.


    Su Jie, Han Ning, and Bai Yu continued walking toward the cave.


    In reality, Han Ning wanted to go back.


    After all, nobody knew if the earthquake would happen again. He was not familiar with the soldiers, so there was no need to take the risk.


    However, neither Su Jie nor Bai Yu had that intention, so Han Ning had no choice but to follow.


    Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at the open area in front of the cave.


    After the earthquake, the cave entrance had already been buried by rubble. Rocks were rolling all over the ground, and the cracks on both sides of the mountain looked horrifying.


    Under such circumstances, it was impossible to start the rescue with just the three of them. Although Su Jie was anxious, he could only wait for the others to arrive.


    About half an hour later, a group of soldiers arrived at the scene.


    Su Jie immediately started the rescue operation.


    Under Su Jie¡¯s command, the team began to split up. Some of them were responsible for digging open the cave entrance and rescuing others, while the rest were responsible for assuming a simple defense around them to prevent the mountain from collapsing again.


    Han Ning and Bai Yu watched from the side.


    There was no need for them to interfere in such matters.


    After some time, the hole was finally dug open.


    Fortunately, the interior of the cave had not completely collapsed. Everyone could still walk in, but unfortunately, all of Su Jie¡¯s soldiers had died under the attack of the earthquake and the beasts. None of them survived!


    Su Jie didn¡¯t say anything and just ordered his men to carry the corpses away one by one while he went deeper into the cave to investigate.


    Seeing Su Jie enter, Bai Yu said to Han Ning, ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look too. There might even be a corpse of a dimensional beast inside. We can study it.¡±


    Han Ning was speechless.


    Old Bai has truly gone mad. He¡¯s still thinking about studying it at a time like this!?


    The master-disciple duo entered the cavern, and Su Jie walked ahead of them. As expected, they found the dimensional beast¡¯s corpses.


    Han Ning took a look and saw that the body of this type of dimensional beast had a lustrous blue color. Its body was long and narrow, and its rock-like skin was covered with patterns that resembled eyes.


    Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Professor, what species is this?¡±


    Bai Yu looked at it for a long time before shaking his head. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen it before. There are no records of it in the previous files either. It should be a newly discovered dimensional beast.¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu intended to squat down and study it properly.


    However, the corpse of the dimensional beast seemed to have been poisoned by something as it began to rot rapidly and become dilapidated!


    In front, Su Jie pried apart a few loose rocks.


    Instantly, a shocking scene appeared.


    Behind the rock was a hidden cave, and on the stone walls around the cave, there were some spherical objects that were emitting lustrous blue light!

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


    A crystal-clear light shone out from the small hole and immediately attracted the three people¡¯s attention.


    Su Jie was stunned. He subconsciously asked, ¡°Researcher Bai, do you know what this is?¡±


    Bai Yu had been staring at the ball of light on the stone wall for a long time. He pondered and said, ¡°This should be a crystal formed from pure genetic energy, it can be absorbed directly.¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu recalled some knowledge he had learned before and searched for relevant information in his mind.


    Su Jie was overjoyed. He forgot about the sorrow of his subordinates¡¯ death.


    ¡°Researcher Bai, are you sure this is a type of genetic energy? I saw it just now. The light penetrated deep into the cave, which means there are many such crystals inside. If it¡¯s as you said, we¡¯re rich this time!¡±


    At this moment, Bai Yu also recalled the key information and nodded. ¡°I can confirm that this thing is called Genetic Origin Energy. It can strengthen the genes in a Dimension user¡¯s body and multiply the power brought by the genes.¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu stroked his chin.


    ¡°However, they usually appear in places where many dimensional beasts gather. Why would they appear here? Could there be a large number of dimensional beasts in the cave?¡±


    Han Ning asked curiously, ¡°Professor, why is that?¡±


    Bai Yu replied, ¡°Genetic origin energy is formed by the accumulation of the dissipated genetic energy in the body of a dimensional beast into the air over a long period of time. There must be a large number of dimensional beasts gathered in the cave to form such a crystal.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, in order to form genetic origin energy, the genetic energy of a dimensional beast on the Ultimate Strength Realm had to be accumulated at the very least. If there are dimensional beasts in the cave, their strength would definitely not be too low!¡±


    ¡°Then¡­ isn¡¯t it very dangerous inside?¡±


    Han Ning frowned.


    There were only three of them here. Including the soldiers outside, there were only a few dozen of them.


    Su Jie¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°Genetic origin energy is a good thing. We have to get it. However, if there are a large number of high-level dimensional beasts, we don¡¯t have enough manpower.¡±


    Han Ning nodded.


    Su Jie was not blinded by glee and didn¡¯t want to recklessly go in now.


    In fact, as a military officer, Su Jie was naturally very cautious.


    After thinking for a while, Su Jie decided to leave a few people to guard the place while the rest returned to the research institute.


    He had to report what had happened at the cave to the Sun family.


    After returning to the research institute, Su Jie immediately contacted Chen Jizhang and asked him to report this matter to the Sun family.


    Chen Jizhang didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. He immediately reported the matter to his superiors.


    Looking at the small messaging device in Su Jie¡¯s hand, Han Ning was puzzled. ¡°Professor, aren¡¯t there no technological means here? Why can we send messages?¡±


    Bai Yu smiled. ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s using genetic functions.¡±


    ¡°You should know that apart from making people stronger, genes are also a special type of biological energy. Otherwise, how could humans absorb them and evolve?¡±


    ¡°Dimension is vast, and it¡¯s separated from the ancestral planet by a vast universe. If we only rely on manual transmission, many things would have been delayed.¡±


    Han Ning finally understood.


    Then, he learned that communication methods that used genes as a power source were very expensive. They were not used unless there was something important.


    Other than people with a certain status, ordinary Dimension users were not qualified to have one.


    News of the discovery of genetic origin energy quickly spread to the Sun family.


    On the ancestral planet¡¯s side, the elders of the Sun family gathered in a huge manor.


    Looking at the image transmitted back from Mount Eternal, the current family head of the Sun family, Sun Jingcheng, was filled with excitement.


    He looked at the elders around him and said heroically, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sure you all know about the information from Mount Eternal. If we can obtain enough genetic origin energy, the Sun family¡¯s high-end combat power will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!¡±


    Sun Jingchi, the second-in-command of the family, who was Sun Jingcheng¡¯s younger brother said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Big Brother. The small team that the family sent out this time are all elites of the Ultimate Vitality Realm. The leader is even an Ultimate Speed Realm expert. They can definitely bring back the resources!¡±


    Sun Jingcheng nodded in satisfaction.


    The elders present were also beaming with joy.


    Genetic origin energy could greatly increase the combat power of Dimension users. It was equivalent to a gene-enhancing drug for the human body.


    If it could be used on a large scale, the combat power of the elites under the Sun family and even the ordinary army would increase greatly!


    This concerned the progress of the entire family so these people were very much looking forward to it.


    Therefore, when everyone heard this news, they immediately decided to send their family¡¯s experts to Mount Eternal. The family would choose twenty elite warriors to form a special operations team and conduct the first round of exploration of the cave.


    Soon, the team arrived at Mount Eternal and met up with Su Jie and the rest at the Research Institute of Longevity.


    After handing over some key information, the team leader, Wu Tian, decided to head out immediately. However, he was stopped by Bai Yu.


    ¡°Captain Wu, I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have enough manpower to explore that cave.¡±


    Wu Tian said unhappily, ¡°Researcher Bai, I am an Ultimate Speed expert after all, how can I not enter a cave?¡±


    ¡°Besides, the twenty people under me are all at the Ultimate Vitality Realm. They are not ordinary soldiers!¡±


    Bai Yu did not say anything else and merely shook his head gently.


    The Ultimate Vitality Realm was the upper level of the Ultimate Strength Realm. In terms of strength, they were many times stronger than ordinary people.


    However, the fact that there were origin energy crystals in the cave meant that there were probably a large number of dimensional beasts in the cave. In addition, it was possible that there were terrifying existences that were at Ultimate Speed or even higher!


    Wu Tian, on the other hand, did not care about that. He simply led his team out.


    Before coming, they had already figured out the location of the cave, so this time, the team did not even bring a guide.


    Su Jie looked at the back view of the team and said coldly, ¡°This guy is really arrogant. He doesn¡¯t listen to any opinions at all. Why would the family let such a person come over!¡±


    Bai Yu grinned without saying anything.


    There were always people who thought that they could look down on everything just because they were stronger. This kind of people would not know the immensity of heaven and earth if they did not suffer a little.


    Ignoring Wu Tian¡¯s matter, Bai Yu turned around and shouted, ¡°Han Ning, prepare for the next few days. The Sun family will definitely send more people over. We can follow them when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°O-Okay, Professor.¡±


    Han Ning did not ask how Bai Yu made the judgment and went to prepare the items.


    He was currently in a state of shock!


    Just now, when Wu Tian was talking to Bai Yu beside him, Han Ning could clearly feel a strong life force emanating from him.


    Not only that, his subordinates all had very powerful auras!


    Before that, Han Ning didn¡¯t believe that an expert could have such a strong vibe.


    They were all humans, not gods, fiends, demons or immortals so where would the aura come from?


    But it was only today that Han Ning truly witnessed the aura of an expert. Moreover, this kind of aura was powerful to a certain extent and could really form pressure!

 Chapter 18

    Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


    Outside the research institute, Wu Tian¡¯s team advanced at full speed and soon reached the entrance of the cave.


    Last time, Su Jie had ordered people to stay here and clean up the debris caused by the earthquake. Now, this place was already flat.


    However, when Wu Tian arrived, he noticed three broken corpses lying at the entrance!


    The corpses were all wearing the standard combat uniforms of the Sun family. They were the soldiers who had stayed guard here previously!


    Seeing this, Wu Tianxin became vigilant.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. This place might really be dangerous. After entering the inner cave, observe the surroundings closely. Report to me if there are any movements.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    With a low growl, the team followed the cave route and entered inside.


    As soon as they entered the cave, everyone discovered the scattered genetic origin energy crystals!


    These crystals were in the shape of small spheres. They were scattered on the walls like stars, illuminating the entire cave in a blue light.


    This scene made everyone in the team slightly dazed.


    After observing his surroundings, Wu Tian happily said, ¡°This is the genetic origin energy that Bai Yu mentioned? Everyone, quickly gather it and bring it back. We are going to make a great contribution this time!¡±


    When everyone heard this, they immediately started moving.


    However, before they could do anything, a deep roar came from the depths of the cave!


    Everyone was shocked. Many eyes suddenly appeared in the depths of the blue cave.


    Immediately after, countless ferocious and twisted dimensional beasts roared as they stepped forward!


    It was only at this moment that everyone noticed that the interior of this cave was connected in all directions and was connected to numerous passageways. Moreover, the dimensional beasts were constantly stepping out from the deep passageways, their numbers increasing rapidly!


    Seeing the horde of beasts charging over, Wu Tian quickly shouted, ¡°Retreat! Retreat!¡±


    Seeing this, the team members turned around and fled.


    There was more than one tunnel here. There were cave entrances all around.


    Meanwhile, dimensional beasts were surging out from the holes!


    They were very powerful, but there were only twenty of them.


    In the face of such a large group of dimensional beasts, even if they could fight for a while, they would still be surrounded and killed.


    Moreover, judging from the auras that erupted from the dimensional beasts, their realms were probably not lower than theirs. They were all at the Ultimate Vitality Realm!


    The entire team fled at the sight of the approaching dimensional beasts yet the beasts were moving even faster.


    In the blink of an eye, a few dimensional beasts arrived in front of everyone. The fatal thing was that there were also dimensional beasts attacking from the side and back, blocking everyone¡¯s escape route!


    ¡°It¡¯s over¡­¡±


    Looking at the incoming dimensional beasts, Wu Tian felt despair in his heart.


    In the blink of an eye, some of the team members had already started fighting with the dimensional beasts. Wu Tian knew that this was not the time to sit back and wait for death. He quickly unleashed his full strength to break out of the encirclement!


    As long as he left this place, with the power of his Ultimate Speed Realm, he could easily escape.


    Fortunately, the group of dimensional beasts surrounding them were mostly on the Ultimate Vitality Realm. Occasionally, a few Ultimate Speed Realm would appear, but fortunately, they weren¡¯t by Wu Tian¡¯s side.


    The power of genes within his body was activated. Relying on his tyrannical strength, Wu Tian forced back a massive dimension beast with a punch and rushed out of the cave!


    Before leaving, Wu Tian casually grabbed a crystal on the wall.


    As for the situation inside the cave, he had no time to care.


    Inside the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning was arranging the relevant experimental equipment according to Bai Yu¡¯s instructions while Su Jie was chatting with Bai Yu.


    After a few exchanges, the two of them became familiar with each other. Su Jie smiled and said, ¡°Old Bai, when do you think Wu Tian will return?¡±


    Bai Yu took a sip of water with a calm expression.


    ¡°Hard to say. If they¡¯re unlucky, the entire team will be buried there.¡±


    Bang!


    As the two of them were talking, the simple door of the research institute was slammed open.


    Su Jie stood up and was about to give a warning when he saw Wu Tian, covered in blood, rushing in from the entrance.


    Su Jie sized him up and sneered, ¡°Captain Wu, what happened?¡±


    Wu Tian had an ugly expression on his face. ¡°Enough nonsense. Hurry up and spread the news out. There isn¡¯t just a single space within the cavern, but a massive underground cavern system. There are countless dimensional beasts hidden within!¡±


    ¡°My men were surrounded as soon as they entered, and now¡­ they are probably wiped out!¡±


    After saying that, Wu Tian casually threw the genetic origin energy onto the table.


    ¡°This should be the genetic origin energy you mentioned, right?¡±


    Bai Yu kept it quietly while Su Jie pursed his lips.


    This fellow was obviously afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to explain himself if all his subordinates died, so he specially brought this back to divert the attention.


    But right now, he was in no mood to mock Wu Tian.


    The death of the family¡¯s elite team was a heavy loss. Furthermore, the news that Wu Tian brought back had surprised him.


    During this period of time, he¡¯d only heard Bai Yu say that there might be a large amount of dimensional beasts residing within it, yet never had he imagined that it would actually be so dangerous!


    Without further delay, Su Jie hurriedly sent the news back to the Sun family.


    Inside the Sun family, a group of elders received the news and were shocked.


    ¡°What? That¡¯s a huge underground cavern?¡±


    ¡°The entire squad of the family was annihilated? That¡¯s impossible! Those people are all elites. How can they all die just like that?!¡±


    ¡°Haha, I think that Wu Tian is obstinate and conceited. That fellow was arrogant in the past, so he must have acted on his own and caused the team to be wiped out!¡±


    In the same manor as before, a group of elders were discussing fervently.


    The news of the team¡¯s destruction shocked them. Most importantly, the Sun family no longer had any extra forces to send out.


    Although the Sun Financial Group had quite a number of talents, they still needed manpower to maintain their operations elsewhere.


    Looking at the arguing elders around him, Sun Jingcheng pressed down on the table, indicating for everyone to be quiet.


    ¡°Guys, this is not the time to talk about this.¡±


    ¡°Although the operation team has been wiped out, they have also discovered that there is indeed a lot of genetic origin energy stored in the cave. The problem now is how to deal with the dimensional beasts and retrieve the genetic origin energy.¡±


    The elders looked at each other.


    Every part of the Sun family was very tight on manpower. Indeed, they did not have enough manpower to dispatch troops.


    However, they were unwilling to give up the energy source in the caverns.


    Seeing that everyone was helpless, Sun Jingchi pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°In my opinion, if we want to obtain the genetic origin energy, we need to find a partner!¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t the Qin family¡¯s forces near Mount Eternal? Why don¡¯t we use their forces to explore? What do you think?¡±


    Sun Jingcheng looked at his younger brother. ¡°The Qin family? Our two families have a good relationship, but if we cooperate with them, we have to give up enough benefits to entice them. This¡­¡±


    Sun Jingchi said respectfully, ¡°Big Brother, with our current strength, we don¡¯t have the ability to extract the genetic origin energy on our own. Rather than leaving it there and not being able to make use of it, we might as well give up some benefits and obtain sufficient benefits first!¡±

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


    Sun Jingchi¡¯s suggestion caused the meeting to fall into a subtle atmosphere.


    There were many financial groups on the ancestral planet. In order to better maintain the rule, expand the influence of the family, and increase their power, many financial groups would cooperate and compete with each other.


    The Sun family was the same. They had many partners outside.


    The Qin family that Sun Jingchi spoke of was one of the Sun family¡¯s business partners. The two families had established a deep partnership since a hundred years ago. It could be said that they were the closest business partners.


    However, cooperation between financial groups was often done without benefits.


    Even though the two families had worked together for a hundred years, the Sun and Qin families would still not be careless when it came to benefits.


    Hence, the elders were feeling very complicated.


    Not only did they want to develop and collect genetic energy to minimize their losses, but they also didn¡¯t want the Qin family to divide the profits.


    Due to this conflict, the group of people discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.


    In the end, it was still Sun Yongheng who made the final decision. ¡°In my opinion, let¡¯s do as I say!¡±


    ¡°Jingchi is right. Rather than leaving the resources there, it¡¯s better to quickly obtain them and strengthen our strength.¡±


    Sun Yongheng was the previous family head of the Sun family, the uncle of the brothers. Sun Jingcheng¡¯s position as the family head was passed down to him by Sun Yongheng.


    Although Sun Yongheng had retired many years ago, his status in the family was still very high.


    With this senior elder speaking, no one had any objections.


    Sun Jingcheng agreed. ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll do as Uncle says. I¡¯ll personally contact the Qin family tonight to discuss the collaboration with them.¡±


    The meeting ended.


    That night, Sun Jingcheng contacted the Qin family head, Qin Yujiang. He told him everything about Mount Eternal and expressed his desire to cooperate.


    Qin Yujiang immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate after hearing about the use of genetic origin energy.


    However, such an important matter had to be discussed in person.


    Two days later, the Sun and Qin families had a meeting. Qin Yujiang brought some elders of the family and came to the Sun family under the escort of dozens of bodyguards.


    The representatives from the two families sat in the venue inside Sun Family Estate. Qin Yujiang went straight to the point and said, ¡°According to the information provided by you, our Qin family will send two Ultimate Speed Realm leaders and thirty elites of the Ultimate Vitality Realm to the caverns.¡±


    ¡°Other than that, the Qin family will not provide any other help. All information and related research will be handled by the Sun family. After the cooperation ends, the Qin family will receive fifty percent of the genetic origin energy and the dimensional beast corpses.¡±


    ¡°And the Sun family will bear all the losses of the Qin family.¡±


    As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Jingcheng immediately revealed a difficult expression.


    ¡°Brother Qin, isn¡¯t this too much?¡±


    The elders of the Sun family also had ugly expressions.


    Apart from their combat power, the Qin family did not provide anything else. They even wanted the Sun family to bear all the losses. However, they wanted to obtain the same benefits afterward. This was daylight robbery!


    Qin Yujiang reported without any negotiation, ¡°Brother Sun, you were the ones who initiated this collaboration. My Qin family didn¡¯t know about this before. Now that your Sun family is in trouble, you want to look for us. Since that¡¯s the case, I don¡¯t need to be used by you.¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yujiang stood up and went to his accommodation.


    Before he left, he said, ¡°Brother Sun, I¡¯ll wait for your reply at this time tomorrow. If you agree, we¡¯ll sign the agreement.¡±


    After Qin Yujiang left, the Qin family¡¯s elders also left, leaving the Sun family¡¯s group standing there aggrieved.


    The Qin family¡¯s conditions were indeed too much.


    However, Qin Yujiang was right. They were the passive party in this collaboration. Moreover, in terms of strength, the Qin Financial Group was much stronger than them. The Sun Financial Group could not afford to offend them.


    After an entire afternoon of discussion, the Sun family finally agreed to the Qin family¡¯s terms.


    The most important thing was that the Qin family was unwilling to do research on the new species. Therefore, they could deliberately hide some of the research results. This way, they would be able to operate secretly.


    The next day, the two families reached an agreement.


    A few days later, the Sun and Qin families formed a team. The two families each sent two Ultimate Speed Realm experts to lead thirty Ultimate Vitality Realm experts to the caverns on Mount Eternal.


    Before the team set off, Sun Jingcheng found another female member.


    ¡°Tong Bi, remember your mission. Your mission is to ensure Han Ning¡¯s safety during this mission. If Han Ning dies, you don¡¯t have to come back.¡±


    The warrior named Tong Bi¡¯s silver hair danced in the wind. Her gaze was cold as ice as she nodded lightly.


    Sun Jingcheng didn¡¯t say anything else. He still believed in Tong Bi¡¯s ability.


    According to the family¡¯s idea, they would definitely encounter many new species in the caverns this time. Some species might be like the Longevity Worm, prone to corruption and dissipation after death. Therefore, they had to send researchers to conduct research on the spot.


    The caverns were close to the Research Institute of Longevity, so Han Ning and Bai Yu who worked there were the best candidates.


    However, Han Ning¡¯s abilities were too important to the Sun family and he did not have much combat power. Therefore, the Sun family had specially sent Tong Bi, an expert at the Origin level, to secretly act as Han Ning¡¯s bodyguard.


    A few days later, the two teams arrived at Mount Eternal.


    Inside the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning had been conducting gene extraction as usual. The stockpile of the Longevity Worm¡¯s gene had reached 224 points, and the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s gene had reached 270 points!


    Previously, Han Ning had thought that many accidents might happen during this trip to the caverns. At that time, he would be able to fuse his genes and escape from the control of the Sun family.


    A few days later, a new team arrived outside the research institute.


    The Qin family¡¯s team leader was named An Bixina€¡±Ultimate Speed Realm.


    Although the team leader of the Sun family, He Shengliang, was also an Ultimate Speed Dimension user, he could only be considered a deputy in this operation.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped. The Qin family was powerful. Even if the Sun family contributed a lot, they would still be suppressed by the other party.


    After arriving at the Research Institute of Longevity, An Bixin did not even enter. He only asked someone to inform Han Ning.


    Su Jie was very unhappy about this.


    However, they had already received news from the Sun family that the Qin family was in charge of this operation. They could not offend them.


    Therefore, Han Ning and Bai Yu had no choice but to follow the team.


    With Wu Tian¡¯s example, the team had made all the necessary preparations. Not only did they have more experts, they were also stronger. Their battle plan was also more detailed than before.


    After arriving at the outer cave, An Bixin instructed his men to expand the tunnel connecting to the cave so that they could advance and retreat. He also left a few people outside to provide support at any time.


    After that, An Bixin ordered everyone to enter the caverns.


    Han Ning and Bai Yu stood in the middle of the group.. After the people in front entered the caverns, the two of them looked at each other and stepped into the entrance.

 Chapter 20

    Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


    Upon stepping into the caverns, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.


    At the entrance of the caverns, a dim light was transmitted through the cave entrance. The genetic origin energy crystals on the surrounding walls emitted bright blue light.


    The two lights intertwined, turning the originally dark cave into an azure blue color.


    The grayish-green cavern walls were like the gray sky and the origin energy crystals were like stars.


    If they had not just walked in from outside, everyone would have thought that they had entered a new dimension.


    However, this ¡®dimension¡¯ looked much better than the outside.


    Looking at the beautiful scene before him, Han Ning was a little dazed.


    Ever since he entered dimensional space, he had been facing the gray sky every day. How long had it been since he had seen such a refreshing scene?


    However, Bai Yu reminded him from the side, ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by the appearance of this place. These caverns are the gathering places for dimensional beasts to live in. You have to be careful at all times.¡±


    Only then did Han Ning regain his composure. ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    As expected, after walking a short distance inside, they saw some tattered clothes and bones scattered on the ground.


    These were all left behind by the special operations squad that was wiped out last time.


    The flesh on the bones had already been eaten clean. Even the majority of the bones had been eaten by the dimensional beasts. What everyone found were only fragments of bones.


    Looking at the remains on the ground, Han Ning could not help but recall Bai Yu¡¯s advice.


    In Dimension, not only did humans want to eat dimensional beasts, they also wanted to eat humans.


    This was because after evolution, the body of a Dimension user would also contain origin power. After fusing with the genes, the body of a Dimension user would also contain genetic energy.


    Dimensional beasts could also advance like Dimension users. The nutrients for advancement came from different types of dimensional beasts and Dimension users.


    Hence, after evolution, Dimension users had to be careful when traveling in the wild. Once they encountered a powerful dimensional beast, there was a high chance that they would be eaten up!


    On the other hand, those ordinary people who had yet to evolve, because they did not contain any energy in their bodies, would usually not bother with dimensional beasts as long as they did not provoke them.


    From this point of view, ordinary people were safer.


    Of course, this was only relative. If an ordinary person wanted to evolve and strengthen themselves, they would still have to fight against dimensional beasts unless they were willing to be a slave for the rest of their lives.


    This time, Wu Tian had also followed in. Only by doing so would he be able to find an opportunity to make amends.


    After the team had moved forward for some distance, Wu Tian reminded, ¡°Be careful. My men were attacked by the dimensional beasts here and were completely wiped out.¡±


    Hearing that, An Bixin looked at the remains on the ground with disdain.


    ¡°I say, Wu Tian, don¡¯t pin your incompetence on other people. As the commander, you don¡¯t have a brain and didn¡¯t make any preparations beforehand, do you think everyone is like you?¡±


    Wu Tian flew into a rage out of humiliation, but he had nothing to say.


    He had to admit that although An Bixin¡¯s words were harsh, his battle plan was indeed more meticulous.


    Seeing that Wu Tian was silent, An Bixin did not mock him anymore.


    As the leader from the Qin family, he had no respect for a brainless person like him from the Sun family.


    Of course, this did not mean that he would not listen to advice.


    The strength of the previous team was not weak, and Wu Tian himself was an Ultimate Speed expert. Since he had reminded them, An Bixin still ordered the team to pay more attention.


    However, Han Ning noticed that when An Bixin was mocking him just now, he specially glanced at He Shengliang.


    He was clearly showing off to the Sun family, but He Shengliang did not retaliate.


    Therefore, Han Ning asked in a low voice, ¡°Professor, aren¡¯t the Qin and Sun families working together? Why does the Qin family seem to have a higher status than the Sun family?¡±


    Bai Yu replied softly, ¡°The Qin family is stronger than the Sun family. An Bixin¡¯s genetic fusion progress is also much higher than He Shengliang¡¯s. In addition, the Sun family was the one who made the request, so the Qin family is naturally more confident.¡±


    These words were spoken in private, but it was clearly heard by several Ultimate Speed experts.


    At their level, their senses were already incomparable to ordinary people. They could even hear their breathing clearly, much less speaking softly.


    But none of them cared.


    Because what Han Ning and Bai Yu said was the truth.


    Especially the experts from the Sun family. Other than feeling sullen, they didn¡¯t want to say anything else.


    Unknowingly, everyone had already walked a few hundred meters forward.


    However, this time, the expected beast invasion did not occur.


    Along the way, the entire caverns were incredibly quiet. All that could be seen was the flickering of origin energy crystals.


    Other than that, this place was so clean that it was like entering heaven.


    After a while, An Bixin could not take it anymore.


    Due to the previous crisis, he had specially instructed his team to slow down in order to guard against any danger.


    However, after walking carefully for so long, there was still no movement in the surroundings.


    This made him feel like he was being toyed with.


    Finally, An Bixin said in a cold voice, ¡°Wu Tian, did you encounter the dimensional beasts last time?¡±


    Facing An Bixin¡¯s question, Wu Tian immediately retorted, ¡°Of course! If not, how did my subordinates die? I couldn¡¯t have killed them, right?¡±


    An Bixin had nothing to say.


    Unless Wu Tian had gone mad, it was impossible for him to kill all his team members.


    Right at this moment, something seemed to have been alerted in the nearby passageway, and a black shadow suddenly charged towards the group!


    Han Ning was shocked!


    The target of that shadow was himself!


    However, before he could dodge, one of the team members behind him had already sprung up. The slender blade in her hand slashed horizontally and accurately hit the black shadow¡¯s body.


    Screech¡ª!


    The black shadow let out a short scream and instantly fell to the ground.


    Han Ning looked down with lingering fear and realized that it was a beast that he had never seen before.


    Its body was long and narrow like a snake, but it had the head of a monkey. Its dead body laid out on the ground, stretching more than two meters.


    It seems that there are species among the dimensional beasts that specialize in sneak attacks.


    Exhaling lightly, Han Ning suppressed the shock in his heart and turned around. ¡°Thank you¡­¡±


    Just as he was about to say the word ¡®very much¡¯, he stopped.


    Han Ning realized that the person who attacked was a female Dimension user.


    Of course, there was more than one female Dimension user in the team. Han Ning had seen women before, but the aura of this team member made Han Ning unsure if he should thank her.


    The female team member was naturally Tong Bi.


    After entering the caverns, she had been following behind Han Ning to ensure his safety.


    Tong Bi had a head of silver hair that covered her face. When she saw Han Ning looking at her, her expression did not change at all. On her face were the words ¡°Do not approach me¡±.


    Seeing the other party¡¯s expression, Han Ning held it in for a long time before swallowing back his words of thanks.

 Chapter 21 - Cannon Fodder, Abandoned Nests

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Turning around, Han Ning followed the team forward.


    The feeling Tong Bi gave him just now was like an ethereal iceberg. Although it made his heart beat, it was cold and threatening.


    At this moment, the leader of the Sun family, He Shengliang, came over and asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright, Han Ning?¡±


    Han Ning nodded. ¡°Thanks to the team member behind me, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    He Shengliang finally relaxed.


    Assistant Han was someone his family wanted to protect at all costs. If anything happened to him, his life would be in danger.


    Although Han Ning was fine, he felt a little regretful.


    He did not know what species that dimensional beast was. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he could not stop to extract the genes.


    However, his encounter raised the entire team¡¯s vigilance.


    After He Shengliang communicated with An Bixin, he immediately decided that someone had to open up the path ahead to avoid any possible threats.


    The candidates to scout the path were naturally chosen from the ordinary soldiers.


    An Bixin pointed at the two team members. ¡°You, and you. The two of you move a hundred meters ahead of time and observe the surroundings carefully. If there is any danger, report back immediately!¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­ Sir!¡±


    The two team members hesitated for a moment before leaving the team.


    There was nothing they could do about it. They were the weakest members of this group. Additionally, they were soldiers. With the orders from their commander, even if it was hell, they would still have gone right in!


    With the scouts, the team continued to advance.


    However, he had just walked fifty meters when a roar came from ahead.


    Then, everyone only had time to hear a scream before they saw a team member running over in panic.


    ¡°Report! In front¡­ Ah!¡±


    Before he could finish, a tough and durable looking tongue flicked out from behind the soldier and instantly dragged him back into the darkness.


    This scene sent chills down everyone¡¯s spines.


    Those two team members were killed just like that!


    Han Ning followed in the middle of the group and swallowed his saliva.


    There were tens of thousands of types of dimensional beasts, and the terrain here was rugged and complicated. Who knew when a terrifying existence would attack and kill a living person.


    At this thought, he turned back to look at Tong Bi.


    If she had not saved him, he would have ended up like the other team members.


    Just as Han Ning was feeling nervous, An Bixin pointed out two more members.


    This time, the two chosen ones were scared.


    Not only were there soldiers in this team, there were also many elites from the financial groups. They usually only listened to the orders of their respective owners, they did not have the concept of ¡°obeying orders is a natural duty¡±.


    These two people were obviously the followers of some big shots in the financial groups.


    Recalling the situation just now, one of them retorted, ¡°Captain, going to the front is equivalent to seeking death. Why don¡¯t we move together?¡±


    ¡°Bastard! How dare you disobey me?¡±


    An Bixin cursed angrily and actually slapped him.


    The power of the Ultimate Speed Realm was ten times stronger than that of the Ultimate Vitality Realm. With this slap, blood immediately spurted from the corner of that team member¡¯s mouth.


    Everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    An Bixin retracted his hand and said coldly, ¡°Hurry up and scout the way. If you still want to disobey me, I will kill you the moment we get out!¡±


    Under An Bixin¡¯s threat, the two of them could only proceed forward cautiously.


    Seeing this, Han Ning shook his head.


    These people from the financial groups were indeed evil spirits that ate people without even spitting out their bones.


    Even dimensional beasts knew how to work together in a group, but these people didn¡¯t even care about the lives of their servants.


    However, he only dared to think about it in his heart.


    That An Bixin was clearly a petty person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Offending such a fellow was no different from creating trouble for himself.


    Next, the entire team went deep into the caverns.


    During this period of time, the two team members who had gone to scout the way had encountered some kind of beast attack. One of them was severely injured and on the verge of death, while the other was completely obliterated!


    An Bixin, on the other hand, left the heavily injured member to fend for himself.


    The leader of the Sun family, He Shengliang, also started to select members from his team to scout the path. After all, this operation was a collaboration between both parties. He could not always let the Qin family contribute.


    Han Ning had a good first impression of He Shengliang.


    The leader did not say a word from beginning to end. He did not treat his subordinates coldly either. Han Ning once thought that he was kind.


    However, what happened next completely overturned Han Ning¡¯s values.


    He Shengliang obviously did not ask Han Ning to scout ahead. However, when one of the team members that he chose hesitated just for a moment, He Shengliang immediately broke two of his ribs!


    He even let the team member scout ahead with injuries!


    This method was even harsher than An Bixin¡¯s.


    Han Ning finally understood.


    He was too naive.


    The people from the financial groups were already used to being tyrannical. They rarely had any sympathy for the people below them. If not for the fact that he still had some value, he would probably be the one sent out this time!


    This was because Han Ning realized that the people who were chosen to scout the path were the weakest and the weakest in the team.


    An Bixin and He Shengliang were obviously sending weaklings to be cannon fodder!


    Fortunately, the two members did not encounter any danger.


    The team traveled for a few hundred meters and entered a slightly open area.


    After reaching this place, An Bixin looked around and gestured to the two people in front, ¡°Come back first.¡±


    As if they had been granted amnesty, the two of them hurriedly ran to the back of the line.


    At this time, An Bixin had arrived in front of a collapsed mound. He frowned.


    ¡°Researcher Bai, what is this?¡±


    He was naturally shouting for Bai Yu.


    Before the team set off, the information of the team members had already been sent to the leaders of both sides, making it easier for them to command during battle.


    Bai Yu walked over and looked at the collapsed mound before looking around.


    There were similar mounds scattered all over the open area.


    However, these large and small mounds seemed to have been destroyed. Most of them had collapsed and ruptured.


    Squatting down, Bai Yu took a closer look and said slowly, ¡°These low mounds should be the nests of the Divine Blood Ants. Those taller ones should be the nests of the Longevity Worms.¡±


    ¡°The reproduction method of these two types of dimensional beasts is very similar to the ants on the ancestral planet. They build their nests on the ground and store their eggs in their nests, waiting for them to hatch.¡±


    An Bixin was delighted.


    ¡°So, we can encounter a large number of Longevity Worms and Divine Blood Ants here?¡±


    As he spoke, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The Longevity Worm and the Divine Blood Ant. Vitality genes could be extracted from the former, while the latter had superior strength genes. Both were things that the families and armies desired.


    However, Bai Yu denied it. ¡°Not necessarily!¡±


    ¡°The nests here have all been destroyed, long abandoned. There shouldn¡¯t be any living creatures here, but we can explore a bit. Who knows, there might be unexpected rewards..¡±

 Chapter 22 - Power of Tong Bi, An Bixin Instantly Killed

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Good, very good!¡±


    An Bixin patted Bai Yu¡¯s shoulder happily.


    Although Bai Yu said that it was unlikely to find any living Longevity Worms or Divine Blood Ants, there were always exceptions.


    There were so many nests here. What if they found treasure?


    With anticipation in his heart, An Bixin smiled and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to ask Researcher Bai and your disciple to inspect this place and see if there are any traces of the Longevity Worm or the Divine Blood Ant.¡±


    ¡°After all, no one else understands this.¡±


    An Bixin said with a look of disdain.


    He was born on the battlefield and had always looked down on civil servants.


    In his opinion, bringing two researchers with him was simply a burden!


    What was this about not being present at the scene? Wouldn¡¯t it be the same if he brought the corpses back for research?


    Therefore, this time, An Bixin had Bai Yu and Han Ning search for traces on their own. It seemed like he was targeting them.


    Bai Yu did not say anything and turned around. ¡°Han Ning, come with me.¡±


    However, Han Ning hesitated.


    To be honest, after the team entered the cave, there were dangers everywhere.


    Now that they had suddenly encountered such a large area of nests, who knew if there were any dimensional beasts hiding inside.


    However, he couldn¡¯t disobey An Bixin, so he had no choice but to step forward.


    ¡°Coming, Professor.¡±


    However, before Han Ning could walk over, Tong Bi, who was behind her, suddenly jumped forward and rushed to An Bixin¡¯s side at lightning speed.


    An Bixin was shocked and was about to dodge when Tong Bi grabbed his neck!


    Looking at Han Ning, Tong Bi said coldly.


    ¡°Under the family head¡¯s orders, Han Ning cannot be in any danger.¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­¡±


    The veins on An Bixin¡¯s face were bulging, and he could not even speak.


    Tong Bi¡¯s fingers were like iron pincers, already drawing blood from his neck.


    If Tong Bi used a bit more force, his neck would definitely snap on the spot!


    Everyone was flabbergasted.


    When they set off earlier, everyone indeed saw Tong Bi in a different light.


    However, everyone was only amazed by Tong Bi¡¯s temperament and appearance. They did not expect that the seemingly delicate Tong Bi was actually a hidden expert in the team!


    One had to understand that An Bixin was an Ultimate Speed expert.


    Moreover, compared to the other Ultimate Speed realms, An Bixin¡¯s gene fusion progress had already reached its peak, and he was even close to the threshold of an even higher Ultimate Mystery Realm.


    However, such an expert was subdued by a woman so easily and had no ability to resist!


    The accident happened too suddenly. Han Ning was also stunned.


    He did not expect that the ordinary member behind him was actually the personal bodyguard arranged by the Sun family for him.


    Seeing that An Bixin¡¯s neck was about to break, Han Ning probed, ¡°This sister¡­¡±


    ¡°Call me Tong Bi!¡±


    Tong Bi did not look back.


    Han Ning had no choice but to say, ¡°Um, Tong Bi, you¡¯d better let Captain An go. He¡¯s one of the people in charge of this operation. If something happens, the family won¡¯t be able to give an explanation.¡±


    Tong Bi then threw An Bixin aside and returned to the team.


    She looked as if nothing had happened.


    An Bixin was half-kneeling on the ground. He covered his neck and coughed with difficulty.


    ¡°He Shengliang¡­ cough cough cough!¡±


    ¡°Is this your Sun family¡¯s cooperative attitude?¡±


    He Shengliang quickly went forward to help him up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take it to heart, Captain An. This is someone arranged by the family head. I didn¡¯t know about it before.¡±


    He Shengliang glanced at Han Ning.


    This fellow¡¯s value is actually so high. The family head actually arranged for hidden experts to protect him.


    At the same time, he secretly rejoiced.


    Luckily, Han Ning was considerate of the overall situation. Otherwise, An Bixin would be dead, and the mission would fail. At that time, everyone would be punished by the family.


    An Bixin straightened his clothes with a complicated expression.


    It was common for the family to send hidden experts to protect important people. However, he did not expect that Han Ning, the most inconspicuous kid, was actually the treasure of the Sun family.


    With this accident, An Bixin could not force Bai Yu and Han Ning to investigate.


    Tong Bi¡¯s strength had completely suppressed him. It was very likely that she was an expert at the Origin level!


    Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid enough to court death.


    Thus, An Bixin could only order the Qin family¡¯s team.


    ¡°People of the Qin family, listen up. Disperse and explore these abandoned nests. Try to find living Longevity Worms or Divine Blood Ants.¡±


    Everyone replied, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Following that, they hurriedly split up to investigate.


    An Bixin had just been humiliated and was currently in a fit of anger. They did not dare to disobey.


    Seeing this, He Shengliang also ordered the members of the Sun family to patrol the surroundings. If they found any danger, they could clean it up at any time.


    The two families were still working together. Tong Bi¡¯s actions would definitely make An Bixin unhappy, so he had to take the initiative to express goodwill in regards to some details.


    Now that things had come to this, everyone started to get busy. Instead, Han Ning and Bai Yu, who were the fuse of this incident, became the two most free people.


    Tong Bi¡¯s actions shocked everyone. Even the leader of the Sun Family, He Shengliang, did not dare to order these two ancestors around.


    Bai Yu quipped, ¡°Good disciple, you¡¯ve really caught the attention of the Sun family. Not only did they arrange for a personal bodyguard, she¡¯s also a beauty.¡±


    Han Ning¡¯s heart tightened.


    Old Bai really dared to joke around.


    Ain¡¯t he afraid that this ice beauty will kill him in one move!


    At this moment, Tong Bi was standing beside Han Ning. When she heard Bai Yu¡¯s joke, there was no change in her expression.


    Seeing that Tong Bi was not angry, Han Ning smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Professor, don¡¯t joke with me.¡±


    As he spoke, Han Ning suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Oh right, didn¡¯t you say that the Longevity Worm and the Divine Blood Ant are both Origin-level lifeforms? Our lifeforms are all Normal, so why would we dare to look for them?¡±


    Bai Yu was a little surprised. ¡°You don¡¯t think that the higher the level of life, the stronger your combat ability will be, do you?¡±


    Han Ning was confused. ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Of course not!¡±


    Bai Yu seemed a little speechless.


    ¡°The level of life determines one¡¯s combat power. This is something that can be said among creatures of the same species. Just like how adults can easily defeat children, adult ants will still be instantly killed by human children.¡±


    ¡°Of course, this theory only exists at the lower level. At the Primal level, or even above Primal level, the level of life determines everything.


    Han Ning was deep in thought.


    ¡°So, when one is at a lower level, the level of life is not the foundation that determines everything.¡±


    ¡°Of course not!¡±


    Bai Yu started teaching on the spot.


    ¡°Although the life level of the Longevity Worms and the Divine Blood Ants are at the Origin level, their individual combat strength is not strong. What¡¯s terrifying about them is that these two types of dimensional beasts move in a group. They can rely on numbers to crush their opponents.¡±


    As if afraid that Han Ning would misunderstand, Bai Yu added, ¡°Of course, once these two lifeforms evolve to the Primal stage, they will also possess powerful combat power. After all, the level of life is the foundation of all evolution..¡±

 Chapter 23 - Nest of the Longevity Worms, Origin Energy Gathering Place

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    While the people around were exploring the abandoned nests, Bai Yu was imparting knowledge about life in Dimension to Han Ning.


    Han Ning was also listening attentively.


    Many of his knowledge came from paper, and his understanding of many things was too one-sided.


    For example, the Longevity Worms and Divine Blood Ants. The information only stated that they moved in groups and that their lifeforms had reached the Origin rank. However, it did not indicate that the individual combat strength of these two lifeforms was actually very weak.


    Other than these two types of dimensional beasts, beasts like the Stone Hawk Moths, the Red Spotted Wolves, and many other dimensional beasts were all at the Origin level. However, their individual combat strength was not even comparable to humans who had just reached the Ultimate Strength Realm.


    What Bai Yu said was another eye-opener for Han Ning.


    While the two of them were talking, the two teams had finished exploring this area.


    Just as Bai Yu had said, the nest had long been abandoned. They did not find any Divine Blood Ants or Longevity Worms. The members of the Qin family searched for a long time but found nothing.


    On the other hand, on the Sun family¡¯s side, when they were searching the surroundings, they saw two dimensional beasts that were suspected to be Longevity Worms.


    However, the two dimensional beasts disappeared in a flash. The team members did not even have time to report before the creatures hid deeper into the caverns.


    What made An Bixin the most aggrieved was that these abandoned nests actually hid a type of slender and swift dimensional beast!


    They were good at sneak attacks and had the ability to kill in one strike.


    In the process of searching for the Longevity Worms and Divine Blood Ants, two members of the Qin family were ambushed by this type of dimensional beast and died on the spot!


    At this point, six members of the Qin family had died, but there was no harvest at all.


    This result made An Bixin very frustrated.


    Seeing that they had gained nothing here, An Bixin could only order them to continue on their way.


    Bai Yu, Han Ning, and Tong Bi returned to the center of the team.


    This time, An Bixin did not ask his team members to lead the way.


    Aside from Bai Yu and Han Ning, a total of sixty-one members had come to the caverns.


    But now, before the team even encountered any real danger, seven members had died!


    Other than the six members of the Qin family, one of the members of the Sun Family had also suffered a sudden attack from a dimensional beast during their patrol earlier and died instantly.


    Thus, An Bixin also realized that instead of sending people to their deaths in such a meaningless manner, it was better for everyone to gather together. At the very least, they would be able to maintain their combat strength.


    Regarding An Bixin¡¯s decision, Han Ning did not say anything, but Bai Yu was full of disdain.


    This fellow had been tyrannical all along the way and insisted on displaying his authority. He deserved to suffer heavy losses with his subordinates.


    Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly and no one was attacked.


    Along the way, everyone was pleasantly surprised to discover that the number of genetic origin energy crystals attached to the walls was gradually increasing.


    When they first entered the caverns, these crystals were only sparsely attached to the stone walls on both sides. Although there were quite a number of them, the distance between the crystals was very large. Furthermore, their sizes were very small, making them look like stars.


    But now, as they went deeper, not only did these crystals become brighter, but their size also gradually increased.


    The bigger ones were even similar to a tennis ball.


    Looking at his surroundings, Bai Yu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The quality of the genetic origin energy in the surroundings is getting better and better, and the quantity is increasing. I wonder if it¡¯s a good thing or a bad thing.¡±


    Han Ning was a little confused. ¡°Professor, why do you say that? With more genetic origin energy, wouldn¡¯t our harvest be richer?¡±


    However, Bai Yu shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t think so simply.¡±


    ¡°As I said, these origin energy crystals are formed from the energy of the dimensional beasts¡¯ cells. The more crystals there are, the larger they are, which means that the energy of the cells here is much denser.¡±


    Han Ning was enlightened.


    ¡°Does Professor mean to say that we might encounter large-sized dimensional beasts here?¡±


    Bai Yu took a deep breath.


    ¡°Not only that, but the dimensional beasts will also be stronger. Weaker dimensional beasts do not have such rich genetic energy.¡±


    As the two of them were talking, someone in front of the group suddenly shouted.


    ¡°Look, this is another nest!¡±


    Bai Yu and Han Ning looked up.


    A series of nests appeared in front of them. However, compared to the abandoned nests from before, these nests were in perfect condition. The low mounds of the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s nests were gone, leaving only the towering Longevity Worm¡¯s nests.


    What was even more surprising was that on the surface of these nests, the genetic origin energy crystal had formed a hard shell!


    An Bixin¡¯s eyes lit up and he quickly called out, ¡°Researcher Bai, are these all intact nests of the Longevity Worms?¡±


    Bai Yu replied loudly, ¡°It should be. Everyone, be careful. There might be groups of Longevity Worms here.¡±


    As he spoke, An Bixin could not wait any longer.


    A large amount of genetic energy, perfect Longevity Worm nests!


    All these were telling him that he was going to be rich!


    Arriving before a nest, An Bixin lowered his head to take a look.


    The nest was filled with wriggling larvae and unhatched eggs of the Longevity Worm!


    An Bixin was overjoyed!


    ¡°These should be the larvae of the Longevity Worm. With so many of them, we can extract a large amount of vitality genes!¡±


    Bai Yu nodded after taking a look.


    ¡°These are indeed the larvae and eggs of the Longevity Worm.¡±


    ¡°However¡­¡±


    Before Bai Yu could finish, An Bixin couldn¡¯t care less.


    Along the way, all he saw were ambushes and deaths. He was even humiliated by a bodyguard.


    Now that he saw a large number of Longevity Worms and genetic origin energy, An Bixin was excited and shouted, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t make this public. We will come and capture these worms next time. The corpses of the Longevity Worms are hard to preserve, and we can¡¯t bring so many of them out.¡±


    At that moment, most of the members of the Qin family and Sun family had spread out and saw the scene inside the nest.


    It had to be said that the scene before their eyes made them very happy.


    After seven team members had died, they had entered the caverns in fear. Now, they have finally obtained a great harvest.


    He Shengliang was grinning from ear to ear.


    At this moment, he had fully experienced what it meant by heavens would not let down those who put in the effort.


    The places that they had been to previously all ended up empty and they had even suffered heavy losses. However, now that they were here, they had both obtained genetic origin energy and the Longevity Worms. Wasn¡¯t this a blessing from the heavens?


    Joy filled the air. The team members were all eager and they were just waiting for An Bixin¡¯s order to collect the genetic origin energy.


    However, Han Ning noticed Bai Yu¡¯s expression.


    At that moment, everyone was overjoyed. However, Bai Yu¡¯s expression was extremely solemn.


    Seeing this, Han Ning walked over.


    Along the way, most of Bai Yu¡¯s words had come true. Hence, seeing Bai Yu¡¯s worried expression, Han Ning realized that this place was probably not as peaceful as it seemed.


    ¡°What are you worried about, Professor?¡±


    Bai Yu looked at the protruding rocks and the deeper tunnels around him and exhaled. ¡°I was wondering where the adult Longevity Worms in the nest went.¡±


    ¡°Also, this place is filled with genetic origin energy.. This means that there are a lot of dimensional beasts nearby so where are these dimensional beasts?¡±

 Chapter 24 - Assault of the Dimensional Beasts, New Discovery

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Bai Yu¡¯s words made Han Ning¡¯s heart race.


    If Bai Yu was right, there must be a lot of dimension beasts hidden nearby.


    However, other than the two of them, everyone was immersed in great joy and did not notice anything unusual.


    Oh, and except for Tong Bi as well.


    This bodyguard had a temperament that was always cold. Even in such a warm atmosphere, her face was like an iceberg that would never melt.


    In the end, Han Ning still harbored good intentions. Although he wasn¡¯t familiar with these people here, they were still dozens of lives.


    Hence, Han Ning asked, ¡°Professor, should I remind everyone?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s too late?¡±


    Just as Han Ning was about to ask why, An Bixin carved out an origin energy crystal and announced, ¡°Everyone, disperse and search the surroundings. First, find out the approximate distribution count of the genetic origin energy. Later, we will begin collecting it!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    This time, everyone was in high spirits.


    With such abundant genetic origin energy, they would definitely be rewarded handsomely once they brought it back to their respective families.


    Next, the team members went to the depths of the caverns in the surroundings. The distribution of the genetic origin energy in this area was very large, and everyone had to act separately to calculate it.


    Han Ning and Bai Yu sighed as they watched the crowd scatter.


    Sometimes, people tend to be blinded by the benefits in front of them and forget even the most basic sense of danger.


    After some thought, Bai Yu walked over.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s do some research here. You haven¡¯t understood the specific composition of the genetic origin energy, I can use this time to break it down for you.¡±


    Han Ning immediately followed him.


    What Bai Yu did was right.


    Instead of taking risks in the unknown, it was safer to stay here.


    Before coming to the caverns, the two of them had brought along some simple research equipment with them. After taking out the equipment, the master and disciple collected a small amount of genetic origin energy and began conducting a live experiment.


    Genetic origin energy was actually an accumulation of dimensional beast genes.


    Different types of dimensional beasts would emit a certain amount of energy. As time passed, they would crystallize in the air and form the genetic origin energy crystal that everyone was looking at.


    In the analysis, the master and disciple discovered that apart from the Divine Blood Ant and the Longevity Worm¡¯s genetic energy, there was also another kind of dimensional beast¡¯s genetic energy mixed in.


    ¡°This energy should come from the same type of dimensional beast that attacked Wu Tian¡¯s team. I have never seen it before. I wonder if it is the same type that we found at the entrance of the cave.¡±


    As Bai Yu explained, Han Ning suddenly asked, ¡°Professor, we didn¡¯t see any of the new dimensional beasts along the way. Could something have happened?¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m worried about. According to Wu Tian, there are quite a number of that dimensional beasts here, and their realm isn¡¯t low either¡­¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a situation. Prepare for battle!¡±


    ¡°Damn it, what is this? Save me!¡±


    Bai Yu was halfway through his sentence when several cries of alarm sounded from a tunnel ahead.


    Immediately after, the screams of humans were mixed with some kind of coarse roar.


    Without waiting for the others to react, similar cries also came out from the team members who had scattered out in different directions.


    In the darkness, pairs of eyes appeared, emitting a faint green light.


    Seeing this, Wu Tian instantly shouted.


    ¡°Everyone, be careful. This is the type of dimensional beast that destroyed us last time!¡±


    However, everyone was currently scattered and were all being attacked by the dimensional beasts, so how could they have the time to listen to him?


    In a corner, An Bixin was leading two team members to kill a dimensional beast.


    It was only now that he had the time to take note of the dimensional beast¡¯s appearance.


    Its entire body was emitting an eerie blue light, and its rock-like skin had patterns similar to that of an eye. Its body was long and narrow.


    It was the dimensional beast that Bai Yu had found outside the cave!


    Previously, when Wu Tian¡¯s team encountered the dimensional beasts, they were crushed by their numbers. But now, the combined forces of the Sun and Qin families were scattered all over the place, and they too were also attacked by the dimensional beasts.


    There were only about fifty people left in the two teams, but there were more than a hundred dimensional beasts!


    Fortunately, the members of the team this time were more powerful. When they had been ambushed by the dimensional beasts, there were some casualties at the first moment. However, everyone quickly reacted and began to counterattack.


    At this time, An Bixin¡¯s ability to adapt to the situation was also displayed.


    Although this leader from the Qin family was mean and fierce, he had good leadership skills.


    After everyone had stabilized, An Bixin immediately shouted, ¡°Everyone, gather at my location. Don¡¯t be defeated one by one. Everyone, gather together to cover each other. The strong will be responsible for bringing up the rear!¡±


    The members of the party were all elites, and they quickly regained their rationality.


    A few minutes later, the people on the scene began to follow the commands and arranged themselves in a formation, attempting to defend and counterattack.


    Han Ning and Bai Yu were also attacked by two to three dimensional beasts. However, Tong Bi was very powerful, and the dimensional beasts were killed before they could even see her.


    This powerful Origin-level bodyguard completely overwhelmed the Ultimate Vitality Realm beasts.


    The ease with which she took the life of the dimensional beast made Han Ning¡¯s heart flutter.


    When will I become as powerful!


    While Han Ning was lamenting, Bai Yu suddenly picked up some of the gravel on the ground and said in confusion, ¡°There seem to be traces of dimensional beasts passing by here.¡±


    Han Ning was speechless.


    Nonsense!


    There were dimensional beasts everywhere, so wouldn¡¯t it be normal for there to be traces of movement?


    However, Bai Yu added, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. I¡¯m not talking about those normal dimensional beasts. I¡¯m talking about the existences on the Origin or even the Primal Stage!¡±


    ¡°No way, Professor!¡±


    Han Ning couldn¡¯t stay calm anymore.


    The people here were all at the Normal level. It would be fine if the creature was an Origin, but if it was a Primal¡­


    Heh heh, none of them could think about surviving.


    The suppression of life that exceeded two levels would make everyone¡¯s resistance a joke in front of that dimensional beast.


    Of course, Han Ning remembered that Bai Yu had said that the individual combat abilities for the Longevity Worm and the Divine Blood Ant were not strong. Hence, he could not help but ask, ¡°Professor, that guy should be the Longevity Worm, right? After all, this is its nest.¡±


    Bai Yu shook his head and pointed at the huge footprint he had cleared.


    ¡°No, the other party is definitely the leader of that new type of dimensional beast. The adult Longevity Worms here might have been eaten by it.¡±


    Holy shit¡­


    Han Ning was shocked.


    The new dimensional beasts around them were enough to deal with them.


    Yet, there was actually still a strong fellow hidden here!


    Its level of life might even surpass everyone present!


    Looking at Han Ning¡¯s stiff expression, Bai Yu waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Apart from the footprints, I found something else here..¡±

 Chapter 25 - Fighting Broken Unicorn, Terrifying Existence in the Depths

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°What is it, Professor?¡±


    Hearing Bai Yu say that he had other discoveries, Han Ning hurriedly asked.


    He did not want there to be anything terrifying here!


    However, as the saying goes, what you fear comes.


    While cleaning up the debris around the giant footprint, Bai Yu followed a strange trail and looked ahead.


    ¡°Look, this mark was left behind when a Longevity Worm was crawling. To be able to leave a mark on such a hard rock, it means that the creature¡¯s level of life isn¡¯t too low.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Han Ning had nothing else to say.


    He had a nagging feeling that Bai Yu¡¯s following words weren¡¯t anything good.


    As expected, Bai Yu chuckled.


    ¡°Good disciple, you¡¯re right. This is the nest of the Longevity Worms. Like the Divine Blood Ants, they have a leader, similar to the ant queen on the ancestral planet.¡±


    ¡°Professor, what level of life is this leader at?¡±


    Han Ning lost all hope when he asked this question.


    Ordinary Longevity Worms were at Origin, so how much worse could their leader be?


    Just as Han Ning expected, Bai Yu stood up and said helplessly, ¡°Of course it¡¯s the Primal stage. Counting the leader of the Longevity Worms and this new dimension beast, there should be two Primal stage existences in the depths of this cave.¡±


    Right at this moment, the cold Tong Bi suddenly spoke.


    ¡°That kind of dimensional beast is called Broken Unicorn.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Bai Yu was slightly surprised.


    He did not expect the bodyguard to know this species.


    Once his interest was piqued, Bai Yu hurriedly asked, ¡°Tong Bi, what kind of creature is the Broken Unicorn? Does it have any characteristics? What is their lifestyle?¡±


    At that moment, Bai Yu turned into a studious student and chased after Tong Bi with questions.


    However, Tong Bi didn¡¯t even reply.


    After saying the name Broken Unicorn, she remained silent as usual.


    However, Bai Yu was indignant and kept asking her about Broken Unicorn¡¯s characteristics and habits.


    Han Ning was dumbfounded.


    He was truly convinced!


    Bai Yu lived up to his reputation of being born for research. While everyone was defending against the dimensional beasts, he was studying the traces alone. Now, he was chasing after Tong Bi like a hundred thousand whys.


    If not for Tong Bi ignoring him, Han Ning would have been worried that this bodyguard would kill him on the spot!


    Helpless, Han Ning shouted, ¡°Professor, let¡¯s not bother about this. What should we do now?¡±


    Yes, he was panicking.


    This operation was his first close contact with the dimensional beasts.


    Along the way, Han Ning truly experienced the savagery of the dimensional beasts.


    Not to mention anything else, there were members on their left who were being clawed down by the dimensional beasts, causing blood to pour out from their bodies profusely!


    But now, facing two bosses that were hidden in the dark, Han Ning could only think of one possibility.


    And that was to become the bosses¡¯ food!


    In the surroundings, the battle between the people and Broken Unicorns continued.


    The roars of the ferocious beasts and the roars of the humans intertwined. The Broken Unicorns¡¯ attacks were simple and unadorned. They used their huge claws and sharp teeth to bite.


    As they grew fiercer when they fought, they would also use their huge bodies to collide into people.


    On the other hand, humans had more tricks up their sleeves.


    Before coming, everyone knew that there would be a battle, so most of the members had brought weapons.


    Perhaps it was due to the legacy of human civilization, but even after obtaining an extraordinary body, the Dimension users still liked to use weapons such as swords, knives and spears.


    In the face of the Broken Unicorns¡¯ attack, all the Dimension users present displayed their abilities.


    An Ultimate Strength Realm team member slashed out with his long saber, cutting off a dimensional beast¡¯s neck. However, his chest was ripped open by another Broken Unicorn, which came after. Fresh blood dyed the nearby rocks red.


    Not far out, two Ultimate Speed experts¡¯ figures were like ghosts, casually reaping Broken Unicorns¡¯ life.


    The powerful bodies of the third-rank evolution made them invincible. Very soon, they completely controlled a battlefield.


    At the center of the battlefield, An Bixin was holding a military knife and easily pierced through the skull of a Broken Unicorn.


    These images combined to form the current battle.


    At this point, it could be seen that although the number of dimensional beasts was greater, as highly-intelligent life forms, humans still had a natural advantage.


    The Broken Unicorns¡¯ attacks were somewhat disorderly, but the humans advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.


    All the team members retreated as they fought, moving closer to the center.


    Under the organization of An Bixin and He Shengliang, the members of the team quickly formed a circular formation. The people around them worked together and attacked Broken Unicorns that were charging forward.


    The combat power of this group of elite team members was very strong. Under such close coordination, the Broken Unicorns were unable to break through the crowd even if there were many of them.


    After abandoning more than twenty corpses, these guys retreated unwillingly.


    The corpses quickly decomposed and dissipated, proving Bai Yu¡¯s point.


    The dimensional beasts here were indeed of the same species as those found at the cave entrance.


    With the crisis resolved, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, after the battle, the team members also suffered heavy casualties.


    Due to the lack of preparation at the start and the fact that some of the team members were ultimately not strong enough, there were less than thirty people left in the team. Furthermore, three members were seriously injured.


    Even if they didn¡¯t die, the three of them didn¡¯t have much combat power left.


    No one had any idea when the trip to the caverns would end.


    Furthermore, to Bai Yu and Han Ning, although the current crisis had been resolved, the greater crisis hidden in the depths made them feel even more despair.


    A Primal-level dimensional beast was not something that everyone could contend against.


    It would be fine if the other party didn¡¯t appear, but if they did, everyone here would die without a burial ground!


    After pondering for a moment, Bai Yu walked up to An Bixin.


    An Bixin consciously made way for him.


    After the series of accidents, his attitude toward Bai Yu had changed.


    So far, the researcher¡¯s judgment has never been wrong.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    An Bixin asked.


    Bai Yu briefly recounted his discovery and warned, ¡°Captain An, we can¡¯t go any deeper. The two Primal dimensional beasts have not appeared yet. It¡¯s better to take this opportunity to lead the team out.¡±


    An Bixin was originally sitting on the ground, but after hearing Bai Yu¡¯s story, he suddenly stood up.


    ¡°What?! Are you saying that there might be a Primal dimensional beast nearby, nevertheless two of them?¡±


    Bai Yu was about to nod when Han Ning walked over.


    ¡°Professor, I just remembered something. You said that there was a leader amongst the Divine Blood Ants. Then, when we discovered the nest of the Divine Blood Ants outside, could it be¡­¡±


    An Bixin¡¯s face turned even uglier.


    Bai Yu also frowned immediately.


    Han Ning¡¯s meaning was clear.


    Since the Longevity Worm had a leader and had reached the Primal stage, could the Divine Blood Ant that had never appeared also have a leader nearby?


    In that case, there would probably be three Primal dimensional beasts in the depths of the caverns!

 Chapter 26 - Qin Yujiangs Scheme, Sun Family Reward

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Three Primal dimensional beasts!


    This news was hard for An Bixin to accept.


    A Primal dimensional beast was enough to instantly kill everyone present. If such an existence really appeared, he had no way to deal with it.


    An Bixin hesitated for a long time as he gazed at the origin energy crystals that littered the ground. In the end, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s retreat. After we leave, I will report this matter to the family and have them send more people over.¡±


    Then, he told He Shengliang the news.


    When He Shengliang heard this, he also made the decision to retreat.


    Although they did not care about the lives of their subordinates, losing too much of their strength at once was a huge loss to the families.


    Moreover, if they alarmed the three Primal dimensional beasts, they would also die here!


    Soon, the two of them informed everyone of this news and gave the order to retreat.


    However, before retreating, An Bixin had everyone make a rough estimate of the amount of resources here.


    This was the main mission of the operation. They had to complete it when there was still no imminent danger.


    After hearing the order, the team members quickly began to count.


    After all, staying here for one more minute meant more danger.


    No one dared to delay a moment as this concerned their lives.


    Very quickly, the team members completed the statistics of the resources. The entire area, including the ones on the paths they had been through, had more than a ton of genetic origin energy crystals!


    There should be more deep inside, but no one dared to go any further.


    In short, based on a rough estimate, the genetic origin energy contained in the caverns could even allow the Sun and Qin families to build an army of ten thousand soldiers each!


    This result made An Bixin very happy.


    If he brought this news back to his family, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely.


    Unfortunately, he was unable to bring the genetic origin material back personally.


    Otherwise, he would be able to enter the upper echelons of the Qin family and become one of the leaders of the outside world.


    After the statistics were done, everyone quickly left the caverns.


    Previously, the team had cleared all the paths as they explored inward, thus on the way back, no accidents happened.


    Soon, the team got out of the cave safely.


    Su Jie was already waiting outside the cave.


    After the two parties met up, everyone returned to the Research Institute of Longevity. He Shengliang and An Bixin reported the results of the investigation to their families.


    The Sun family and the Qin family were very happy when the news reached the ancestral planet.


    In the Sun family estate, Sun Jingcheng was overjoyed when he heard that the caverns contained tons of genetic origin energy. He immediately called for a family meeting and decided to mine at all costs.


    On the Qin family¡¯s side, Qin Yujiang also gathered the upper echelons of the Qin family to discuss the extraction of the genetic origin energy.


    During the meeting, the head of the Qin family was as straightforward as always.


    ¡°Although we lost a few elites during this exploration of the caverns of Mount Eternal, we obtained a good result. The Sun family will probably send people over to mine it soon. Our Qin family cannot fall behind.¡±


    As he spoke, Qin Yujiang said to a middle-aged man in combat uniform, ¡°Yindao, immediately organize the family¡¯s forces and send combat personnel and workers to mine the crystals.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that there are Primal dimensional beasts hiding in Mount Eternal. You have to tell the people below to be careful.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Just as Qin Yindao was about to leave, Qin Yujiang spoke again, ¡°Wait.¡±


    ¡°Genetic origin energy is related to the transformation of high-end combat power. If there¡¯s a chance in this operation, you can kill the people of the Sun family too!¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Qin Yindao was slightly hesitant, but he still cupped his fists and said, ¡°Yes, Family Head!¡±


    After Qin Yindao left, the elders of the Qin family looked at each other.


    The Sun and Qin families had always been in a cooperative relationship. Although the Sun family was relatively weak, they had provided some help to the Qin family. But this time, it seemed that the family head was going to attack their ally!


    Although they were surprised, they did not refute.


    Compared to the Sun family, the Qin family had a stricter system. Although the entire family was under the protection of all the branches, it was in fact Qin Yujiang¡¯s word that decides everything.


    This was the tradition of the Qin family.


    As long as the family head had enough power, he would be able to make decisions on important matters more efficiently!


    The Sun family knew nothing about Qin Yujiang¡¯s thoughts.


    A few days later, the teams from the two organizations arrived at Mount Eternal in batches and stationed themselves outside the Research Institute of Longevity.


    This time, the two families sent a large number of combatants.


    Together with the laborers in charge of mining resources, the Sun and Qin families had invested over a thousand people here!


    A thousand-strong troop did not sound like much, but when they were all gathered together, the tents they were stationed in covered a large area!


    Looking at the densely packed tents outside, Han Ning said emotionally, ¡°Is this the power of the financial groups? They can mobilize so many people just for a cave.¡±


    Bai Yu chuckled at the side. ¡°Have the two families been living in peace for too long? They don¡¯t seem to pay enough attention to those dimensional beasts!¡±


    Han Ning asked curiously, ¡°Professor, why do you say that?¡±


    In his opinion, sending hundreds of combatants and laborers for a cavern was shocking enough. However, Bai Yu did not seem to think much of it.


    Bai Yu explained, ¡°As I¡¯ve said before, the Primal stage is a level that completely surpasses Normal life forms. The Sun and Qin families did not send any high-end combatants, and are delusional to use numbers to close the gap. I wonder what they are thinking.¡±


    Han Ning nodded and stopped talking.


    He had never seen a Primal lifeform before, so he couldn¡¯t judge whether Bai Yu was right or wrong.


    At this moment, two soldiers walked over from the newly arrived group.


    After seeing Han Ning and Bai Yu, one of them asked, ¡°Are you Researcher Bai and Assistant Han?¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. ¡°What is it?¡±


    That person said, ¡°It¡¯s like this. Not only did the two of you follow the team for the exploration, you also determined a potential threat. It can be said to be a great contribution.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the family has specially got us to inform the two of you that Assistant Han is allowed to undergo Normal-level gene fusion and complete the transformation to the Ultimate Vitality Realm. As for you, Researcher Bai¡­¡±


    As he spoke, the soldier looked around and whispered, ¡°You can make the decision yourself.¡±


    Bai Yu waved his hand. ¡°Got it. Go ahead.¡±


    The two soldiers turned to leave, and Bai Yu rose with a smile.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, disciple. Haven¡¯t you always wanted to fuse genes? This is your chance.¡±


    Han Ning clenched his fists tightly!


    After entering the realm of Ultimate Strength, he had been looking for an opportunity to fuse the strength genes so that he could complete the transformation of Ultimate Strength Realm. However, the Sun family had strict control over the evolution of their subordinates, and he had never found an opportunity to fuse them privately.


    And now, he could finally raise his strength openly!

 Chapter 27 - Origin Gene Fusion, Secret Exposed!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Walking past the outer courtyard, the master and disciple duo strolled towards the laboratory.


    There, Han Ning would complete his first gene fusion.


    On the way, Han Ning suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Professor, the Sun family only allowed me to fuse the genes, but they didn¡¯t say where the genes are coming from¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Bai Yu interrupted Han Ning.


    ¡°Since the Sun family didn¡¯t restrict you regarding the source, they naturally allowed you to choose your genes freely. The research institute¡¯s gene reserves should be enough for you to use.¡±


    Han Ning was relieved.


    He was worried that the Sun family would trick him by allowing him to merge genes and throwing him to fight in the wilderness in the end.


    Han Ning had seen the sinister faces of the financial groups before.


    Seeing Han Ning heave a sigh of relief, Bai Yu smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to think too much about it. The gene reserves here are not as comprehensive as the previous research institute, but they are still very abundant.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, you can make your own choice. I¡¯ll watch over you.¡±


    Han Ning nodded and the master and disciple entered the laboratory¡¯s gene reserve center.


    As Bai Yu had said, although this place had just been established, there were indeed many types of genes stored here.


    Except for the Divine Blood Ant and the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes, the rest of the genes were only at the Normal-level.


    All Han Ning had to do was select the strength-type genes and fuse them.


    Han Ning was very happy when he thought about how he would be able to increase his strength soon.


    The fusion result of the same type of genes was actually the same, the result would not be affected by the dimensional beast species. Han Ning randomly chose a gene called the Murphy Beast and said to Bai Yu, ¡°Professor, this will do.¡±


    Bai Yu did not make any comment.


    The genes of the Murphy Beast belonged to the strength type, and this dimensional beast gene was very stable.


    Next, Han Ning¡¯s gene fusion officially began.


    Bai Yu personally administered the gene injection for Han Ning.


    The fusion of genes in the wild was usually by directly devouring the suitable types of dimensional beast meat. While obtaining origin power, one would also choose to fuse the genes within.


    However, such genes were not refined, and they were highly repulsive to the human body. It was easy for accidents to happen when fusing with them.


    Many Dimension users had deformed bodies and incomplete body functions. These were all related to the rejection and backlash of their genes.


    However, the fusion process was much safer in the research institute.


    All the genes here had been refined and improved. There would not be any strong rejection or backlash. Unless the situation was special, it would not cause the fusion target to mutate.


    Lying on the experiment table, Han Ning watched Bai Yu extract some Murphy Beast¡¯s genes and inject them into his body.


    The moment the gene was injected, Han Ning received a notification.


    [Obtained Murphy Beast Gene x10 points]


    This time, Han Ning directly extracted the injected genes, but there was no prefix for the successful extraction.


    Bai Yu continued to extract some Murphy Beast¡¯s genes and injected them into Han Ning¡¯s body, 10 points each time.


    At the Normal level of life, the metamorphosis of the Ultimate Strength Realm required 100 points of strength genes to be completed. When 100 points of strength genes of the Murphy Beast were fully injected into Han Ning¡¯s body, Han Ning began his small actions.


    Yes, Han Ning did not choose to fuse with the Murphy Beast¡¯s genes that he had just obtained. Instead, he channeled them into his dimension status.


    Now, he began to extract the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes from the status and secretly fused with them!


    He had previously understood that the quality of the genes during the fusion would determine the combat capability and potential of the Dimension user. The genes of the Murphy Beast were only at the Normal level, so their quality was naturally not as good as the genes of the Divine Blood Ant at the Origin level!


    After separating 100 points of the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s gene, Han Ning silently proceeded with the fusion.


    At first, Han Ning didn¡¯t feel anything clearly. He only felt that his body was heating up.


    However, as the gene fusion process continued to deepen, this slight heat was also rapidly increasing.


    In the end, Han Ning felt like his entire body was in a sea of fire. The intense burning sensation spread throughout his organs!


    At the same time, a convulsing and tearing sensation spread throughout his limbs and bones!


    It was as if there was a violent force that wanted to completely destroy and tear him apart from the inside!


    Only then did Han Ning recall Bai Yu¡¯s words.


    Gene fusion was a heaven-defying process. In order to obtain the transformation of life, one had to endure the rejection and backlash from the different genes.


    And this process was destined to be painful.


    Han Ning didn¡¯t understand this concept before.


    Now, only when he personally experienced the ¡®rejection and backlash¡¯ did he understand how intense this process was!


    Damn, it hurts!


    Lying on the experiment table, Han Ning¡¯s consciousness was blurred by the impact.


    He wanted to scream, but he couldn¡¯t make a single sound.


    Just enduring that kind of pain exhausted all his strength.


    In his daze, Han Ning seemed to see Bai Yu stabbing his body with a long and thin object while nagging at him.


    ¡°Sigh, stupid disciple, how can an Normal body withstand the backlash of the Origin genes? I think I taught you this before, didn¡¯t I?¡±


    These words frightened Han Ning.


    Professor actually knew!


    He knew that he was secretly fusing with another gene!


    However, he was powerless to resist now. He could only allow the violent genetic power to wreak havoc in his body.


    Han Ning gradually closed his eyes as waves of exhaustion swept over him.


    ¡­


    In Dimension, day and night were not clear. The grayness was always the main color here.


    However, in the Research Institute of Longevity, the lights in the laboratory remained bright.


    Under the premise that human technology could not be used, the lights here were powered by biological genes. Every ray of light was worth thousands of gold.


    Under the dazzling light, Han Ning laid quietly on the experiment table. The blood vessels on the surface of his body expanded and contracted, while his skin also presented a bright red color.


    In the past few hours, this body had undergone tremendous changes.


    Although his appearance was still that of a young man¡¯s thin body, the increasingly clear lines of his muscles and the surging blood in his blood vessels indicated the immense power contained within this body.


    Ten minutes later, Han Ning slowly opened his eyes.


    He did not know how the process of gene fusion went. He only remembered that it was very painful.


    Then it was like a dream.


    In his dream, Bai Yu seemed to be saying something to him.


    Right! Professor!


    At the thought of Bai Yu, Han Ning woke up immediately!


    He vaguely remembered that Bai Yu seemed to have discovered his secret when he fused his genes!


    At this moment, a familiar figure in a white robe appeared before Han Ning. It was Bai Yu, who had been waiting for him all this while.


    Bai Yu smiled when Han Ning woke up. ¡°How was your sleep?¡±


    Before Han Ning could say anything, Bai Yu added, ¡°You¡¯re really something, my disciple. How dare you fuse with a Origin-level gene directly? If I hadn¡¯t been watching, you would have died..¡±

 Chapter 28 - 100% Fusion of Strength, Family Rewards

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Professor¡­¡±


    Looking at the smiling Bai Yu, Han Ning felt his heart stop beating.


    Bai Yu had discovered his secret!


    Not only that, the other party knew that he had secretly fused with the Origin genes, but he did not show any signs of surprise.


    This meant that Bai Yu knew that he was hiding something all along!


    Thinking of this, Han Ning clenched his fists tightly!


    However, Han Ning let out another sigh.


    Initially, Han Ning had intended to risk his life to break free. However, he knew that Bai Yu must have had other intentions since he did not expose him.


    So, what was Bai Yu thinking?


    Noticing the change in Han Ning¡¯s expression, Bai Yu waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. If I wanted to deal with you, you would have been dead by now.¡±


    Han Ning smiled bitterly.


    Indeed, in his previous state, he couldn¡¯t put up any resistance at all.


    Since the cat was already out of the bag, Han Ning asked, ¡°Professor, how did you discover I was hiding something? Why didn¡¯t you sell me out to the Sun family?¡±


    Bai Yu pursed his lips. ¡°Nonsense, I¡¯m in the field of genetic research. In this field, the most important thing is to be attentive and observant. Do you think you can hide your little tricks during the experiments from me?¡±


    ¡°From the first time you extracted the genes, I realized that something was wrong with you. If I¡¯m not wrong, your talent can extract the genes just by coming into contact with a corpse. It doesn¡¯t have to be through ordinary means, right?¡±


    Han Ning was stunned.


    It turned out that Bai Yu had known what he was doing from the start, but he had never exposed him!


    ¡°As for why I didn¡¯t sell you out to the Sun family¡­¡±


    Bai Yu stroked his chin.


    ¡°That¡¯s because I¡¯m the same as you. I¡¯ve helped myself in private.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Han Ning finally understood.


    No wonder Bai Yu did not tell anyone about him.


    It turned out that this person had also secretly fused quite a few genes. The degree of violation was probably even more exaggerated than his own!


    Come to think of it, before he entered the research institute, Bai Yu had been conducting gene extraction alone and the original laboratory had always been closed off. Since Bai Yu was guarding so many genes, he had to think for himself!


    Since that was the case, Han Ning was no longer nervous.


    After that, Han Ning did some stretchings and felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly.


    As he had fused with strength genes on this current stage, his strength had improved the most.


    Han Ning sent his consciousness into his dimension status and could clearly see the changes on it.


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Lifeform: Normal-Ultimate Strength (0/200)


    Gene: Strength 100


    Lock: Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused genes: Normal¡ªGray Wolf Gene (9 Points), Thunder Beast Gene (9 Points), Copper Iron Python Gene (9 Points)¡­ Broken Unicorn Gene (20 Points), Murphy Beast Gene (100 Points)


    Origin¡ªDivine Blood Ant Gene (170 Points), Longevity Worm Gene (224 Points)


    On the interface, 100 points were missing from the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s gene. Han Ning used it for his gene fusion. As for the Broken Unicorn¡¯s gene, it was secretly extracted when he was in the caverns.


    After all, even though the Broken Unicorn¡¯s body dissipated very quickly, Han Ning only needed to touch it secretly.


    After this transformation, not only did Han Ning activate the fusion of the strength genes, but he had also raised it to 100%!


    Next, he only needed to absorb another 200 points of origin power to advance to the Ultimate Vitality Realm.


    Han Ning was excited.


    Furthermore, Han Ning¡¯s relationship with Bai Yu now had improved even further.


    The two of them exchanged their secrets, and from a certain perspective, they were on the same boat.


    Looking at Bai Yu, Han Ning asked, ¡°Professor, after the Sun and Qin families develop the caverns, it¡¯s very likely that they will attract the Primal dimensional beasts. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible. Do you have any good suggestions?¡±


    Bai Yu looked at Han Ning and rubbed his forehead.


    ¡°Brat, do you think that your cultivation speed is not fast enough?¡±


    As he spoke, Bai Yu started to explain to Han Ning what to take note of in evolution.


    Every level of life has its own limits.


    Fusing with a higher-level gene would only produce two results.


    It was either that this person¡¯s strength had been strengthened by the baptism of the high-level genes and had become even stronger.


    Or that he could not withstand the powerful backlash and died on the spot.


    Han Ning belonged to the former.


    However, this was because Bai Yu had injected a gene stabilizer into Han Ning when he reached his limit. Otherwise, the powerful genes would have turned Han Ning into a corpse!


    However, since Han Ning had made it through, he had benefited greatly.


    Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Dimension user would naturally have normal combat power after fusing with a Normal gene. However, since Han Ning had fused with an Origin gene, this resulted in his strength level being a level higher than a Normal-Ultimate Strength Dimension user.


    After listening to Bai Yu¡¯s lecture, Han Ning felt a lingering fear.


    At that time, he only wanted to quickly increase his strength, but he didn¡¯t stop and consider that there would be a risk of death.


    At the same time, Han Ning was glad.


    Fortunately, he did not choose to fuse the genes privately.


    Otherwise, he would have killed himself before the Sun family could even capture him!


    Suppressing the palpitations in his heart, Han Ning asked, ¡°But, Professor, powerful dimensional beasts might appear. I still want to improve my strength as soon as possible.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. Since you¡¯ve survived the backlash once, your body will become tougher. It won¡¯t be too risky even if you fuse with other Origin genes in the future.¡±


    ¡°Next, you just need to devour the origin power and complete the transformation from Ultimate Strength to Ultimate Vitality Realm. As for the gene fusion of vitality afterward¡­¡±


    Bai Yu looked at Han Ning playfully.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t hide the genes of the Longevity Worm!¡±


    ¡°Hehe, not really.¡±


    Han Ning scratched his head awkwardly.


    Bai Yu did not elaborate further.


    Since Han Ning could hide the Divine Blood Ant¡¯s genes, how could he not hide the ones from the Longevity Worm?


    At this time, Han Ning had already jumped off the experiment table. His body was not adversely affected by the impact of the high-level genes.


    Seeing that Han Ning was fine, Bai Yu reminded him, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t reveal any abnormalities from now on. I¡¯ll help you deal with the matter of origin power. There are quite a number of beast corpses here, enough for you to complete your next evolution.¡±


    Han Ning nodded. ¡°Thank you, Professor.¡±


    For the next few days, the master and disciple continued to work and live their lives as per normal.


    The two of them acted as if nothing had happened.


    Three days later, the mining team from the Sun and Qin families completed the first batch of resource excavation and successfully brought back the first batch of genetic origin energy.


    One day, He Shengliang entered the Research Institute of Longevity and gave Bai Yu and Han Ning a bag of genetic origin energy crystals each. He then said, ¡°These are from the family.¡±


    ¡°During the first operation, both of your judgments provided the family with extremely important information. I hope that in the future, we can work together and continue to contribute to the family..¡±

 Chapter 29 - Devouring Genetic Origin Energy, Deep in the Caverns

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Has the excavation of the caverns been completed?¡±


    The master-disciple duo was somewhat surprised when they received the genetic origin energy.


    The two excavation teams had only been here for a few days, and they had already completed the extraction of the genetic origin energy?


    He Shengliang shook his head. ¡°Not really. What you guys are looking at now is only the first batch of harvests. Because there might be powerful dimensional beasts hidden in the depths, the two families have only started the preliminary excavations and only collected the resources from the periphery.¡±


    Han Ning nodded.


    That made sense.


    After all, even though the two families had dispatched quite a number of people this time around, they wouldn¡¯t be able to finish mining the entire cavern in just a few days.


    He Shengliang seemed to be in a hurry. When he saw that there were no more questions from the two of them, he quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m sure the two of you know how to use the genetic origin energy better than I do. Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡±


    With that, He Shengliang turned around and walked out of the door.


    Right now, only the outer regions of the caverns were excavated. What followed next was the main focus of the excavation. It was also the most dangerous and busy period.


    As the leader of the Sun family, he had many things to arrange.


    Looking at the genetic origin energy in his hand, Han Ning asked, ¡°Professor, how do we use this thing?¡±


    Previously, Bai Yu had only introduced the nature and composition of the genetic origin energy to him and had not taught him how to use it.


    Bai Yu smiled. ¡°Simple, just eat it.¡±


    ¡°Just¡­ just eat it?¡±


    Han Ning was in disbelief.


    On the surface, genetic origin energy looked more like crystals or diamonds. Could this thing be eaten?


    Bai Yu looked at him. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t believe me?¡±


    ¡°Genetic origin energy is essentially a combination of energy. Similar to the absorption of origin power and genes, it can be orally absorbed directly.¡±


    Seeing that Han Ning was still skeptical, Bai Yu opened the small bag in his hand and swallowed the crystals.


    ¡°How is it? Do you believe me now?¡±


    ¡°I believe you¡­¡±


    Han Ning looked at Bai Yu¡¯s actions helplessly.


    To use these crystals of genetic origin energy was to eat them!


    This caught him off guard.


    However, since Bai Yu had already demonstrated, Han Ning was no longer worried.


    Han Ning opened the bag containing the genetic origin energy crystals and poured them into his mouth.


    Soon, Han Ning felt the crystals melting in his mouth as if he was eating candy.


    Of course, the genetic origin energy crystal was colorless and tasteless. It didn¡¯t have the sweet and sour taste of candy.


    Before long, the crystals in his mouth were completely melted.


    At this moment, Bai Yu had also finished swallowing the crystals and reminded him, ¡°This energy will quickly fuse into the genes in your body and permanently strengthen the various attributes of your body. However, you have to remember that you can¡¯t absorb too much genetic origin energy at once or your body won¡¯t be able to withstand the excess energy.¡±


    ¡°Got it!¡±


    Han Ning nodded. After bidding farewell to Bai Yu, he returned to his residence.


    After consuming the genetic origin energy, it did not immediately take effect. Instead, there was a certain delay.


    After sitting on the chair for a while, Han Ning gradually felt that the countless cells in his body were starting to become active, as if they couldn¡¯t wait to break through some kind of restraint.


    This feeling made Han Ning a little restless, but it wasn¡¯t very strong.


    After half an hour, the faint restlessness disappeared. Han Ning experienced his own body and couldn¡¯t help but be in doubt.


    The changes don¡¯t seem very obvious?


    After waiting for a while longer, Han Ning confirmed that the absorption of the genetic origin energy had ended.


    In regards to this, he could only assume that he had absorbed too little origin energy and that didn¡¯t bring any significant changes to his body.


    While Han Ning was absorbing the genetic origin energy, the two teams had already reached the depths of the caverns, which was also the abandoned nest area that Han Ning and the others had arrived at.


    The genetic origin energy in the periphery had already been completely extracted. If they continued forward, they would reach the place where Han Ning and the others had encountered the dimensional beasts.


    However, Sun-Qin¡¯s goal was to obtain a large amount of resources from the depths, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t stop here.


    The group continued forward and soon discovered the intact nests of the Longevity Worms, as well as a large number of genetic origin energy crystals.


    An Bixin and He Shengliang walked in the middle of the team. The two of them were still leading this mining mission.


    After arriving here again, the two of them discussed for a moment before issuing their order. ¡°All excavators, listen up. Assign a hundred people to capture the larvae and eggs of the Longevity Worm. The rest of you will begin to excavate the origin energy crystal!¡±


    ¡°There will be dimensional beasts appearing here. Combatants are to spread out and patrol in groups of five. Prepare for battle any time!¡±


    The two of them gave their orders, and the teams of nearly a thousand people began to move.


    The workers were responsible for extracting resources, while the soldiers were responsible for guarding and supervising.


    However, just as everyone was preparing to go all out, the Broken Unicorns¡¯ roars suddenly came from the depths.


    Other than that, there were also some rustling sounds.


    He Shengliang and An Bixin knew that the dimensional beasts were about to attack.


    Thus, the two of them immediately shouted, ¡°All combatants, gather together. We must stop the dimensional beasts at the periphery!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    The two armies quickly arranged a battle formation. At the same time, groups of Broken Unicorns also swarmed over from the depths!


    In the blink of an eye, the dimensional beasts and the human armies clashed.


    The roars of beasts and humans immediately resounded through the cave. As soon as the battle began, scarlet blood dyed the rocks and walls red.


    Although the two families had sent more combatants this time, the degree of elites was obviously not as good as the previous joint operation team.


    In a situation where individual strength was insufficient, the moment those soldiers came into contact with the beasts, there were casualties.


    However, it wasn¡¯t any better for the dimensional beasts as well.


    Compared to the few hundred soldiers, their numbers were actually at a disadvantage. As a result, the dimensional beasts were actually at a disadvantage.


    However, before An Bixin and He Shengliang could relax, another group of dimensional beasts appeared from the depths of the cave!


    These dimensional beasts had bloated bodies that were round like worms. Their bodies were covered in pale, mottled patterns, and their bodies were roughly three meters long. They were squirming rapidly towards the crowd.


    An Bixin was pleasantly surprised.


    ¡°These¡­ These are all adult Longevity Worms!¡±


    Previously, when they arrived, they were all wondering where the adult Longevity Worms went.


    Now it seemed that these fellows had been hiding in the depths all along. As soon as the larvae in the nest were threatened, they would appear and chase off the intruders.


    He Shengliang was also quite surprised, but he quickly reacted.


    Adult Longevity Worms, this was simply a group of moving vitality genes!


    Therefore, he immediately got someone to lure these worms to a separate place so that they could quickly transport the corpses out after killing them.


    But before he could give the order, a cry suddenly rang out from the depths of the caverns.


    Squeak squeak!


    The cries were sharp and ear-piercing. Those who were affected immediately felt weak all over.


    Immediately after, the entire underground cavern began to tremor slightly, and some small gravel began to fall off!

 Chapter 30 - Longevity Worm King, Upheaval!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°Not good! It¡¯s that higher-level dimensional beast!¡±


    Ear-piercing cries were constantly heard and tremors were constantly felt. The teams that were fighting immediately fell into panic.


    Before coming here, the families had told them that there might be powerful dimensional beasts here.


    But at that time, no one paid much attention to it. They only thought that with the strength of numbers, they could resolve any danger.


    But now, when the beast only needed to scream to make many people feel weak, all the people here panicked.


    Seeing that the team was about to panic, An Bixin quickly stopped them and said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic, maintain formation!¡±


    That said, his tightly furrowed brows betrayed his equally uneasy heart.


    Previously, Bai Yu had said that this was the nest of the Longevity Worms. There would be a Longevity Worm King nearby, and it was at least at the Primal level of life.


    It was to the extent where there could even be a Primal Broken Unicorn and a Primal Divine Blood Ant!


    And there was no one here who could deal with a Primal life form.


    Crisis was imminent. Before An Bixin could make his next decision, the rocks in the tunnel ahead suddenly broke off, as if they had received a huge impact.


    Subsequently, even more obvious tremors were felt as a worm rushed out of the tunnel like a train. Its huge head and half of its body were presented in front of everyone!


    Compared to the adult Longevity Worms of the Origin-rank, the patterns on this Longevity Worm King were even more dazzling. It was not pale white, but an even more dazzling and eye-catching white color.


    Its body was no longer just simply thick and round, it was as huge as a train!


    At this moment, the thousands of humans in the cave were all stunned as they faced the massive Longevity Worm King.


    They had lived in Dimension for a long time and had seen many huge creatures. However, they had never felt the oppression of a Primal dimensional beast at such a close distance!


    Compared to the giant dimensional beasts that everyone had seen before, the Longevity Worm King did not look fierce on the outside, but just by lying there, its powerful breath made everyone¡¯s hearts tremble!


    It was a pressure that came from a higher being!


    It struck straight at the heart!


    ¡°Hu¡­ Run!¡±


    Seeing the Longevity Worm King, An Bixin was stunned for a long time, but in the end, he only shouted out this sentence.


    In the face of a colossus that was two ranks higher than him in terms of life, he was completely unable to arouse any thoughts of resistance. Even if he resisted, it would be futile!


    This order finally made the thousand-odd troops recover from their shock.


    At this moment, the group of people could no longer care about anything else. They found a path and started escaping for their lives!


    As for whether this path was a dead end, who cared?


    The moment the Longevity Worm King appeared, everyone¡¯s mind had already collapsed.


    Even the so-called well-trained soldiers of the organization fainted on the spot!


    Yes, they were soldiers, but that did not mean that they were not afraid of death!


    They were no match for the existence in front of them. These soldiers were like the workers. They were just shrimps that were at the mercy of others.


    However, it was fine if these people didn¡¯t move, but once they moved, the Longevity Worm King instantly crawled out!


    The body that was dozens of meters long occupied the entire space and blocked all the paths effortlessly.


    The thousands of people from the two financial groups were forced to squeeze in the surroundings. Other than fear, there was no other expression on their faces.


    However, the dimensional beasts would not feel pity!


    Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the Longevity Worm King¡¯s enormous body forcefully stretched out. The enormous force instantly destroyed the surrounding stone pillars and rock walls, and over a hundred soldiers and workers were directly crushed into meat paste!


    Even the surrounding Broken Unicorns which flocked over suffered countless casualties!


    In Dimension, different species of dimensional beasts were also competitors.


    Thus, the Longevity Worm King naturally wouldn¡¯t let these Broken Unicorns go.


    Bai Yu was right about one thing. A large part of the reason why there were no adult Longevity Worms here was because they were eaten by the leader of the Broken Unicorns.


    But now, the Longevity Worm King was just like the leader of Broken Unicorns, slaughtering humans and low-level Broken Unicorns!


    At this moment outside the cave, thousands of radii of land were trembling.


    The caverns of Mount Eternal extended in all directions, so the Longevity Worm King¡¯s disturbance was not only destroying the cave, but also affecting large areas.


    Even the research institute located five kilometers away was affected.


    Inside the research institute, after absorbing the genetic origin energy, Han Ning was planning on looking for Bai Yu the next day to obtain some dimensional beast flesh to provide origin power.


    But now, Bai Yu had come knocking on his door.


    Amidst the slight tremors, Bai Yu sat on the chair and looked into the distance.


    ¡°Disciple, I think we can go and inform Captain Su. The people in the caverns must have alarmed the Primal dimensional beasts. None of them will survive.¡±


    Han Ning was in disbelief.


    ¡°Professor, although you told me before, I still can¡¯t believe it. Is a Primal dimensional beast really that invincible?¡±


    Bai Yu shook his head.


    ¡°You¡¯re wrong. It¡¯s not that we can¡¯t fight them, but those people in the caverns are too weak.¡±


    Han Ning was speechless.


    An Bixin, He Shengliang, and the others were all at the Ultimate Speed Realm, if they were all weak, then what was he?


    Bai Yu did not explain. Instead, he said indifferently, ¡°Just wait. In less than a day, we will receive news that the two teams have been wiped out.¡±


    ¡­


    In the next few hours, there would be mild tremors coming from the ground below the research institute from time to time. On the other hand, the violent tremors in the caverns were like a small-scale earthquake that was never-ending.


    This kind of tremor did not subside until three hours later.


    Early the next morning, just as Han Ning arrived at the door, he saw Su Jie walking in while cursing.


    Seeing this, Han Ning asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Captain Su?¡±


    Su Jie¡¯s expression was very ugly.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°A Primal Longevity Worm King appeared in the caverns, and half of the entire caverns has been destroyed. Of the thousand-man team from the two families, only three managed to escape!¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Han Ning was speechless.


    Bai Yu¡¯s words were actually so accurate!


    Only three out of a thousand people survived. This was no different from total annihilation!


    Su Jie seemed to be very aggrieved. He sighed and said, ¡°Sigh, I have already reported this matter to the family. The family has sent back feedback that we will not give up on the caverns. After some time, they will still send people to excavate it!¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Han Ning¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Captain Su, come in and talk. Professor should be in the laboratory. I don¡¯t think you¡¯re here to just bring us bad news.¡±


    Su Jie nodded and walked quickly to the laboratory.


    There was indeed something he needed to inform them about.


    Han Ning didn¡¯t ask further. Instead, he was thinking about some things.


    According to Su Jie, the strength of the Primal dimensional beast was indeed frightening. It could even affect the stability of the entire region. Since the Sun and Qin families were unwilling to give up, it would definitely cause even greater commotion.


    At that time, what could he and his mentor do?

 Chapter 31 - Qin Yujiangs Disdain, Broken Unicorn Gene

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Han Ning followed Su Jie into the laboratory. Bai Yu was already waiting inside.


    Su Jie was not surprised. Bai Yu was a research maniac. Whether it was before or now, he treated the laboratory as his bedroom and spent almost 24 hours inside.


    Bai Yu stopped what he was doing when he saw Su Jie.


    ¡°Captain Su, what can I do for you?¡±


    Su Jie sat down and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to tell you guys something.¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, the thousand man team of the Sun family and the Qin family were all wiped out in the caverns. The culprit was Researcher Bai¡¯s prediction, the Primal Longevity Worm.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. He was already prepared for this, so he wasn¡¯t surprised at all.


    ¡°What is the family¡¯s intention?¡±


    Su Jie said, ¡°The family means that they will not stop excavating this place. A few days later, the two families will send their high-end combatants here to finish off that Longevity Worm King!¡±


    ¡°And you, master and disciple, your task is to complete the extraction of the Primal Longevity Worm after the battle. The family speculates that the genes inside the Primal Longevity Worm are definitely much better than the Origin Longevity Worm¡¯s genes.¡±


    Bai Yu agreed. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. The quality of the genes will definitely improve with the evolution of the lifeforms.¡±


    ¡°However¡­¡±


    Bai Yu changed the topic.


    ¡°The family knows that there might be another two Primal dimensional beasts here, but they still don¡¯t plan on giving up?¡±


    Su Jie said helplessly, ¡°Of course. If I¡¯m not wrong, the higher-ups are already discussing sending troops.¡±


    ¡­


    Ancestral planet, Sun family¡¯s manor.


    Just as Su Jie had said, ever since the news of the caverns had spread back, the Qin and Sun families had been holding a meeting overnight.


    After a night of discussion, the two families finally reached a consensus.


    Both families would not give up on the resources in the caverns of Mount Eternal.


    They had already invested a lot of manpower and resources there. They would not give up halfway!


    As a result, the two families decided to transfer their high-end combat power to the caverns of Mount Eternal. They would first eliminate the dimensional beasts there and then discuss the excavation of resources.


    At this moment, it was already bright outside.


    As one of the hosts of this meeting, Qin Yujiang looked at Sun Jingchi after the decision was made.


    ¡°Brother Sun, this is not the style of a family head.¡±


    With that, he led the Qin family away.


    In reality, the Qin family had always listened to Qin Yujiang¡¯s words. The family meeting was only him passing on his decisions to the elders. Qin Yujiang had always scoffed at the Sun family¡¯s way of discussion!


    As a result, he immediately left the moment the meeting ended, not wanting to stay a second longer.


    That night, Sun Jingcheng and Sun Mingze sat on the sofa in the living room. Sun Jingcheng stared at the huge manor outside the window for a long time before saying, ¡°Mingze, do you agree with what Qin Yujiang said during the day?¡±


    Sun Mingze was puzzled. ¡°Father, are you referring to the family head¡¯s style?¡±


    Sun Jingcheng nodded.


    Sun Mingze considered for a moment and carefully said, ¡°Father, the elders of the family are indeed getting on in years. The Sun family¡¯s stagnation in recent years has a lot to do with the dissent within the family.¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Sun Jingcheng was deep in thought and didn¡¯t say anything else.


    The decision of the two large financial groups was soon spread to the bottom levels of their respective families.


    Within a few days, the Sun and Qin families dispatched experts from all over to the caverns of Mount Eternal.


    Due to the fact that the Longevity Worm King was a Primal stage beast, and there might be two other Primal stage beasts on Mount Eternal, it could be said that the two families had paid a huge price.


    The Sun family had dispatched two people, both at the Primal stage.


    As for the Qin family, they had deployed four warriors at the Primal stage, two of whom had even reached the Primal-Ultimate Vitality Realm.


    It had to be known that the caverns on Mount Eternal was only an underground cave. Not long ago, it had been an undeveloped land of the desolate wildlands. For the two families to be able to invest six Primal stage experts here was already very extravagant.


    After all, the two families had many matters to settle, and it was impossible for them to allocate all their manpower to one place.


    In the depths of Dimension, there were places far more mysterious and valuable than Mount Eternal.


    In the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning had been devouring the blood and flesh of dimensional beasts for the past few days.


    Ever since he and Bai Yu revealed their secrets, the master and disciple no longer hide anything from each other. As long as there was no one else around, Han Ning simply used the flesh of the dimensional beast in the research institute openly.


    This place was different from before. The Sun family had been busy with the matters of the underground cave recently, so they didn¡¯t have extra people to monitor Han Ning.


    Therefore, Han Ning¡¯s evolution path was almost unimpeded.


    In order to evolve from the Ultimate Strength Realm to the Ultimate Vitality Realm, Han Ning needed to absorb 200 points of origin power.


    In the past few days, he had consumed the flesh of the dimensional beasts three times.


    These flesh and blood came from the Divine Blood Ant or the Longevity Worm. After the master and disciple extracted the genes, Han Ning would eat some on the spot, so there was no time for the Longevity Worm to rot.


    The two dimensional beasts were both at the Origin realm, so they contained more origin power.


    After three attempts, Han Ning had already obtained 92 points of origin power.


    At this rate, he would be able to accumulate enough origin power in less than a week and successfully evolve to the Ultimate Vitality stage.


    In addition to devouring the blood and flesh of the dimensional beasts, Han Ning had also done something very important, which was to give Bai Yu some of the Broken Unicorn¡¯s genes that he had absorbed.


    He had casually extracted this gene from the caverns, so no one knew about it before.


    Han Ning asked Bai Yu to study it because he was curious about the level of lifeforms of this type of dimensional beast.


    Logically speaking, Broken Unicorn should only be a Normal-level dimensional beast. Otherwise, the combined team from before would not have been able to defeat them so easily.


    However, this kind of dimensional beast just so happened to display its incomparably delicate characteristics. The dead body and genetic energy were even harder to preserve than the Longevity Worm. This aroused Han Ning¡¯s endless curiosity.


    When Bai Yu received this kind of gene, he was also very astonished.


    Back when he was in the caverns, he had wanted to extract them. However, the decomposition of the Broken Unicorn¡¯s corpse was very rapid so Bai Yu didn¡¯t get the chance to.


    As it was the first time Bai Yu had come into contact with the Broken Unicorn¡¯s genes, he would need to carry out a huge amount of analysis and comparison to determine the specific type and level. The result wouldn¡¯t be out too soon.


    It wasn¡¯t urgent for Han Ning as well so he just waited.


    However, over the past few days, Han Ning has also noticed that some teams would arrive at the periphery of the research institute.


    He had asked Su Jie about them. These were the people dispatched by the Sun and Qin families. Among them were Normal combatants and a few Primal-level experts that had come one after another.


    After these people arrived at Mount Eternal, they didn¡¯t stay near the research institute. Instead, they headed straight for the entrance of the caverns that was five kilometers away.


    In addition to the battle sequence, Han Ning also saw many workers.


    They didn¡¯t head to the caverns. Instead, they camped near the research institute.


    From the looks of it, these people were planning to rush over there to excavate after the battle ended..

 Chapter 32 - Special Genes, Luring the Worm King!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Mount Eternal, the entrance to the caverns.


    It was clear that the Sun and Qin families had placed a great deal of importance on these three Primal dimensional beasts.


    After sending out six Primal experts and a large number of troops in the early stages, the two families still did not lower their guard. Instead, they continued to send more people to fill the gap.


    Logistics, workers, soldiers, and even some strategic resources were all gathered here within a short period of time.


    Han Ning saw everything.


    To be honest, if Han Ning didn¡¯t know the purpose of the two families¡¯ trip, he would have thought that they were going to have a small-scale battle here.


    Inside the research institute, Han Ning completed an extraction and was about to take a break when Bai Yu said happily, ¡°Disciple, come quickly. The results of the Broken Unicorn¡¯s genetic research are out!¡±


    ¡°How did it go, Professor?¡±


    Han Ning hurried over and asked.


    Bai Yu¡¯s expression immediately turned emotional.


    ¡°You won¡¯t believe it. According to my countless comparative studies, although those Broken Unicorns are only Normal lifeforms, they have genes of the Origin level!¡±


    ¡°Origin genes?¡±


    Han Ning was very surprised by this result.


    It was almost common knowledge that the level of life corresponded to the genetic level.


    However, the Broken Unicorn¡¯s gene broke Han Ning¡¯s understanding. For the first time, he realized that differences between the level of life and genes could also happen.


    Bai Yu said seriously, ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t believe it at first either, but the results of the experiment can¡¯t be wrong. I can only say that there are all sorts of wonders in the world.


    Han Ning thought for a moment. ¡°Maybe this is why they are corrupted so quickly. Then, Professor, what type of genes does the Broken Unicorn belong to?¡±


    Bai Yu smiled. ¡°Speed-type.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Han Ning was immediately excited!


    Now, he was preparing to fuse the vitality genes after obtaining enough origin power. After the fusion was complete, he would need to use speed genes!


    When fusing with the vitality genes, Han Ning would naturally choose the Longevity Worm. This was also a type of genes at the Origin level.


    However, Han Ning has been hesitant about the choice of speed genes.


    Bai Yu had told him before that fusing higher-quality genes would stimulate the combat power of the human body at this stage. Therefore, Han Ning was not interested in Normal genes.


    However, Han Ning had not been able to find the speed-type genes of the Origin level.


    Who would have thought that he would gain something from Broken Unicorn!


    It was really like searching high and low only to find it by sheer luck!


    Bai Yu could read Han Ning¡¯s mind. While logging down the data, he said, ¡°Just you wait. The Sun family will probably need us in this battle against the dimensional beasts. When that happens, you will have a chance to obtain more Broken Unicorn¡¯s genes.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Han Ning was confused.


    Fighting with dimensional beasts was a matter for the combatants. Why would they be needed?


    However, before Han Ning could ask, He Shengliang walked in.


    Last time, the two teams were almost completely wiped out. An Bixin died under the Longevity Worm King¡¯s attack, but he escaped unscathed.


    However, due to his incompetence, he had already been stripped of his position by the Sun family. His status had plummeted.


    At this moment, there were obvious scars on the leader¡¯s face.


    Seeing the master and disciple duo, He Shengliang was no longer as cold as before. He said respectfully, ¡°Please get ready. Bring your equipment and follow me to the outer area of the caverns. Tonight, the experts from the two large financial groups will launch an attack on the dimensional beasts. The family has specially invited the two of you to the site to extract the materials.¡±


    Hearing this news, Han Ning was shocked at Bai Yu¡¯s foresight once again!


    Bai Yu had just said that they would be needed at the frontline when the order came. Han Ning even suspected that Bai Yu knew about this in advance!


    Looking at Han Ning¡¯s surprised expression, Bai Yu explained, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Broken Unicorn and Longevity Worm are prone to decomposition. We can only conduct research immediately when we are on site.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When we get there, someone will protect us.¡±


    Surprise flashed across He Shengliang¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Researcher Bai¡¯s foresight is truly god-like. This is what the family intended¡±


    Bai Yu ignored him and quickly packed up the equipment with Han Ning.


    When they were almost ready, the three of them headed to the entrance of the caverns under the protection of a group of soldiers.


    Arriving at the entrance, Han Ning realized that the cave outside had already been razed to the ground. The entrance to the caverns was directly exposed outside.


    Over there, there were six people with heavy auras standing quietly nearby. In front of them, there was a group of ten people entering the caverns.


    These should be the six Primal stage experts.


    Han Ning guessed.


    While he was thinking, Tong Bi had already appeared silently beside him.


    ¡°If there¡¯s danger later, follow me immediately. Don¡¯t resist.¡±


    ¡°Um¡­ okay.¡±


    Han Ning was shocked and subconsciously agreed.


    Inside the caverns, the ten-man team quickly moved forward, quickly arriving at the place where An Bixin and the others had encountered the Longevity Worm King.


    Right now, this place was already in a state of chaos. Large areas of the tunnels had collapsed, the surrounding rocks were shattered, and there was even a lot of mashed up flesh on the ground!


    Those were the dead combatants of the Sun and Qin families. They had clearly been mercilessly crushed by the Longevity Worm King.


    Upon arriving, the two members of the team immediately went forward and took out a few containers the size of aluminium can from their backpacks.


    Immediately after, the two of them threw these containers into the depths, and thick smoke immediately filled the entire space.


    Squeak squeak!


    Very quickly, the Longevity Worm King¡¯s sharp cries rang out.


    The team members immediately retreated!


    The smoke was a kind of stimulant that could stimulate the ferocious nature of the dimensional beasts, and was specifically used to draw out the Longevity Worm King.


    According to the plans of the two families, the environment of the caverns was narrow and dark, and it was not suitable for a few experts to fight agilely. Thus, they had specially arranged for an assault team, intending to lure the Longevity Worm King to the open space outside.


    So far, it seems to be working.


    The Longevity Worm King was hiding not far ahead. The moment the smoke was released, this Primal dimensional beast was stimulated.


    It was not the only one. The Longevity Worms in the cave were also affected by the smoke and appeared one after another.


    Not long after, a huge body suddenly crawled out. The giant worm that looked like a train quickly caught up to the team in front.


    The Longevity Worm King was here!


    Being affected by the smoke, it immediately went berserk and frantically chased after the ten-man team in front of it.


    However, these members¡¯ cultivation levels were obviously not low. They were fleeing at high speed in the caverns. As the path ahead was rather narrow, the Longevity Worm King needed to break through the rocks blocking its path, so it was actually unable to catch up to them.


    At this moment, everyone at the entrance of the caverns felt a slight tremor.


    In front of the entrance, six Primal stage experts were ready for battle. They were just waiting for the Longevity Worm King to show its face, and they would strike first!


    Han Ning was watching the cave closely from behind.


    The shaking ground made him feel both afraid and excited.


    He also wanted to see what kind of existence a Primal stage Longevity Worm King was..

 Chapter 33 - Battle of the Six Experts, Ultimate Origin Halo

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Rumble!


    At the entrance of the cave, the earthquake was getting more and more obvious.


    The expressions of everyone present became more and more solemn.


    In front, the six experts drew their weapons.


    The intense tremors signified that the Longevity Worm King was about to appear, and their mission was to deal a heavy blow to it the moment it appeared!


    Inside the cave, the ten-man team could already see the light dots outside.


    They had already lured the Longevity Worm King and the swarm of worms behind it to the outer perimeter. They were only two hundred meters away from rushing out of the underground caverns to meet up with the people outside.


    All ten of them were wearing the same kind of stimulating smoke bomb as before, constantly emitting that kind of fog.


    This was to prevent the Longevity Worm King from stopping halfway.


    However, they did not notice that apart from the Longevity Worms behind them, there were some rustling sounds coming from the cracks in the surrounding walls.


    This sound was dense and hurried, sounding like some ear-piercing radio static.


    But because the sound of the Longevity Worm King breaking through the rocks was too loud, the ten-man team did not notice these sounds.


    As Dimension users that had experienced evolutions, the ten of them moved very quickly.


    In just thirty seconds or so, they passed through the tunnel that was almost two hundred meters and arrived at the entrance of the cave.


    The six experts outside watched as the ten-man team rushed out of the cave one by one, and the grip on their weapons tightened!


    It was true that they were Primal level experts, but among the six of them, other than the Qin family¡¯s expert named Qin Weiyang, the other five had never faced a Primal level dimensional beast before.


    Their lack of combat experience made the five of them lack confidence.


    In the blink of an eye, the last of the ten people rushed out of the cave.


    At the same time, this person shouted, ¡°The worm king is right behind and there are swarms of worms following behind as well!¡±


    When Qin Weiyang heard that, he shouted, ¡°Everyone, get ready!¡±


    The other five experts were alarmed.


    In the surroundings, the soldiers who were ready for battle also moved out and got into formation.


    The Longevity Worm King was not something they could deal with, but killing the other Longevity Worms was their mission.


    Han Ning felt the tremors under his feet, and his heart pounded.


    In his eyes, it was as if a faint halo had appeared on the bodies of the six experts. At the same time, there was a faint ¡°kacha¡± sound coming from nearby.


    Without waiting for Han Ning to wonder what it was, a pile of gravel suddenly burst out of the cave!


    Immediately after, sharp ¡°zhi zhi¡± sounds rang out as the Longevity Worm King charged out. Its body that was as large as a train filled the entire cave entrance as it charged towards the six experts like the weight of Mount Tai pressing down on them!


    ¡°Urgh¡­¡±


    The moment the cries were heard, Han Ning felt dizzy.


    The Longevity Worm King¡¯s cry had a similar effect to a spiritual attack. It could make low-level Dimension users feel light-headed.


    However, the six experts weren¡¯t affected at all. As soon as the worm king¡¯s huge body appeared, the six of them raised the weapons in their hands and fiercely attacked its patterned head!


    At this moment, the faint halo around the six of them suddenly burst out with a layer of sparkling white radiance!


    Boom¡ª


    Like cannonballs exploding, white light instantly enveloped the Longevity Worm King¡¯s head.


    After the attack, the aura of this huge creature that was still aggressive a moment ago immediately weakened. Its huge charging body also came to a stop, and half of its body was helplessly stuck at the entrance of the cave.


    Success!


    Among the six people, one of them immediately revealed a delighted expression.


    Without waiting for the others to speak, this person immediately stepped forward, wanting to examine this enormous worm king.


    At this moment, Han Ning recovered from his trance.


    However, as soon as he looked towards the cave, he saw something shocking.


    A huge train-like body!


    Covered in bright white patterns!


    That ferocious aura that caused one¡¯s heart to tremble even after being dispirited!


    This was Han Ning¡¯s first impression of this Longevity Worm King, this Primal stage dimensional beast!


    Not only that, what happened next made Han Ning shudder.


    Among the six experts, when Qin Weiyang saw someone approaching the Longevity Worm King, he immediately tried to stop him. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡±


    However, before he could finish his sentence, the seemingly limp Longevity Worm King suddenly raised its head. At the same time, a long and narrow mouthpiece extended from beneath its head, instantly shattering the head of the expert in front of it!


    Han Ning saw this scene clearly from afar!


    He saw a perfect fine head being crushed just like that!


    ¡°Holy F*ck!¡±


    Han Ning cursed.


    In such a situation, he couldn¡¯t vent his shock without cursing.


    At the entrance of the cave, the sudden death of their companion sent chills down the four experts¡¯ spines.


    Only then did Qin Weiyang, who was the only one with experience, manage to remind them.


    ¡°Primal-stage dimensional beasts already possess a certain level of intelligence, and they are very difficult to kill. Don¡¯t be fooled by them.¡±


    The four of them did not have time to nod and quickly scattered to dodge.


    Because while Qin Weiyang was speaking, the Longevity Worm King¡¯s entire body had already rushed out of the cave, instantly crushing towards the original position of the five people.


    And behind it, millions of Longevity Worms swarmed out like a disgusting and pale tide, swallowing up all the combatants in the surroundings that couldn¡¯t avoid them in time!


    Soon, screams came out from the swarm of worms.


    The remaining combatants quickly retaliated. The battle at the entrance of the cave became extremely intense!


    Bai Yu looked at Han Ning¡¯s pale face and said calmly, ¡°You¡¯ve finally learned something today. This is the battle between humans and dimensional beasts. To both sides, they were from different races. The battle between the different races will not end until one side is dead!¡±


    Han Ning was still in a state of shock, but what he was most concerned about was the mysterious halo around the six experts.


    The moment the Longevity Worm King appeared, it was precisely the power of those halos that had heavily injured the opponent.


    ¡°Professor, what are the halos on those experts?¡±


    Bai Yu recalled.


    ¡°You mean the Ultimate Origin Halo?¡±


    ¡°Ultimate Origin Halo?¡±


    Han Ning was confused.


    Bai Yu explained, ¡°As you know, every level of life is divided into five realms. They are Ultimate Strength, Ultimate Vitality, Ultimate Speed, Ultimate Mystery, and Ultimate Origin. The perfection of the Ultimate Origin realm requires the absorption of mysterious genes.¡±


    Han Ning nodded. He knew all that.


    ¡°But what does this have to do with that kind of halo?¡±


    Bai Yu continued, ¡°That halo is the embodiment of perfecting the Ultimate Origin Realm by fusing mysterious genes.¡±


    ¡°Mysterious type genes are very different from the previous four types of genes. Haven¡¯t you noticed that strength, vitality, speed, and spirit are all closely related to the human body? Only mysterious genes don¡¯t sound like they belong to any domain of the human body.¡±


    Han Ning immediately reacted!


    That¡¯s right!


    The first four types of genes were all part of the development of the human body, but what did the mysterious genes represent?

 Chapter 34 - The Key to Extraordinary, Divine Blood Ant Colony!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Han Ning¡¯s doubts were quickly answered.


    Next, Bai Yu introduced the concepts of the so-called Ultimate Origin Realm and the mysterious genes in detail.


    Mysterious genes were obtained from mysterious type dimensional beasts.


    This type of dimensional beast was different from other dimensional beasts. They were born with extraordinary abilities and were powerful. They were born at the level of Origin, and once they reached adulthood, powerful individuals could even directly enter the Primal stage.


    As for other lifeforms, in order to evolve, they had to devour origin power and fuse with genes like humans.


    Moreover, dimensional beasts with the mysterious attribute all had one characteristic and that was they had a mysterious halo on their bodies, making them very easy to identify.


    After the human body fused with the mysterious genes, it would also give birth to a halo. At the same time, they would absorb the mysterious energy within, allowing them to possess extraordinary power!


    This power was related to the mysterious genes that were fused.


    Han Ning was confused with all this information.


    He was unable to come into contact with that level now and did not understand what Bai Yu meant.


    Seeing that Han Ning still did not understand, Bai Yu changed his way of describing it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way. Every lifeform, including humans, is a separate genetic treasure trove. This treasure trove contains power beyond our current understanding!¡±


    ¡°The four genes¡ªstrength, speed, spirit, and vitality¡ªare like components that form the door of the treasury. The last mysterious gene is the key that opens the door.


    ¡°When you devour enough origin power and fuse the first four genes, your body will have the foundation to withstand the explosive force of the origin power, and the last mysterious gene will be able to link the first four powers and show you the mystery of origin power!¡±


    ¡°At that time, the gene lock will open, and the ultimate power of life will appear. Only then will you have the chance to enter the next level!¡±


    Bai Yu told Han Ning everything he knew.


    Now, Han Ning not only understood the mysterious genes, but also the specific connection between genes and life evolution.


    Simply put, lifeforms had potential, and origin power was the energy needed to stimulate this potential.


    The five genes were the keys to stimulating this potential.


    The mysterious genes within were more like a kind of interconnected medium. Through extraordinary power, the different genes were linked together, giving life forms the means to burst forth with their origin power, obtaining extraordinary power and advancing to the next realm.


    In other words, the reason the six experts were able to unleash an earth-shattering attack was because they had unlocked the mysteries of origin power and grasped extraordinary power!


    After all, these six people were experts at the Primal stage and had already completed two life transformations.


    After understanding the Ultimate Origin Halo, Han Ning continued to look at the battlefield in the distance.


    At this time, the battle had reached its climax.


    Within a few minutes of their conversation, the battle between the humans and the swarm of Longevity Worms gradually became chaotic and bloody!


    In the beginning, the surrounding combatants could still launch organized attacks and defense.


    But those Longevity Worms would not follow the rules.


    They were essentially wild beasts, and their level was only at the Origin level. They did not have enough logical intelligence.


    Therefore, even under the siege of humans, these huge worms still maintained their fighting style of charging straight forward, crushing everything with their bodies, piercing humans with mouthparts, or letting out piercing screams.


    The attacks were chaotic, but they successfully broke the human soldiers¡¯ formation.


    Although the Sun and Qin families had dispatched quite a number of high-level combatants this time, none of these people had taken part in the battle.


    Even though the tiny Longevity Worms were Origin lifeforms, their individual combat ability was only comparable to that of Normal-Ultimate Strength Realm combatants.


    Under such circumstances, there was no need for the surrounding experts to waste their strength.


    Their mission was to guard against stronger beasts other than the Longevity Worm King.


    However, this also led to the large-scale defeat of the ordinary soldiers against the swarm of Longevity Worms.


    After all, while dimensional beasts were wild, humans were rational.


    Coupled with the fact that the soldiers under the financial groups did not have much faith to begin with, they were more likely to lose their will to fight as they were only working hard to earn money.


    In the battle below, humans gradually fell into a disadvantage, and in the battle of high-end combat power, the five experts firmly suppressed the Longevity Worm King.


    Although they had lost a companion due to their carelessness in the beginning, under Qin Weiyang¡¯s command, these experts were able to fight five against one without much pressure.


    However, as a vitality type dimensional beast, the Longevity Worm King was very difficult to kill.


    Even after enduring a large number of attacks from the five experts, the Longevity Worm King was only riddled with wounds and was still far from death.


    ¡°F*ck, this bastard is so hard to kill!¡±


    Among the five of them, one of the Qin family¡¯s experts immediately retreated after a single strike. When he saw that the Longevity Worm King didn¡¯t feel any pain or itch from his attack, he couldn¡¯t help but curse out loud.


    Qin Weiyang held a curved blade in his hand which was covered in the Longevity Worm King¡¯s pale white blood. At this time, he also said seriously, ¡°We have to end this quickly. If this continues, the people below will be defeated.¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at the battle not far away.


    Over there, the casualty rate of the ordinary soldiers was close to one-third.


    In a war, if the casualty rate of a unit exceeded thirty percent, this unit would most likely be defeated.


    At this rate, those soldiers were on the verge of defeat!


    Of course, the Longevity Worms suffered even greater losses, but they were not afraid of death!


    After quickly assessing the situation, Qin Weiyang said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s find an opportunity. We¡¯ll work together and launch another origin power attack. This time, we must obtain a decisive victory!¡±


    ¡°Alright!¡±


    The other four nodded solemnly.


    Although those soldiers had low statuses, they were still part of the family¡¯s strength. If they lost too much, their hearts would ache.


    However, just as the five of them were looking for an opportunity to attack together again, the cave in front of them suddenly vibrated at a high speed!


    This vibration was very light, but the frequency was very fast.


    The experts at the Primal stage were very sensitive to all movements and instantly sensed the abnormality.


    The moment the tremors appeared, Qin Weiyang and company were slightly stunned.


    The Longevity Worms had already come out in full force, what other existences were there in the cave?


    At the next moment, their expressions changed drastically!


    At the entrance of the cave that had collapsed from the struggle of the Longevity Worm King, waves of sparkling blue ¡®tide¡¯ surged out!


    After exiting the cave, the ¡®tide¡¯ converged into a river-like stream and rapidly rushed towards the fierce battle!


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s a Divine Blood Ant colony!¡±


    Qin Weiyang was shocked!


    The blue ¡®tide¡¯ was not a natural phenomenon, but tens of thousands of Divine Blood Ants!


    The other four were also shocked!


    Before coming here, the higher-ups of the two families had personally instructed them that apart from the Longevity Worms and Broken Unicorns, there might also be a large number of Divine Blood Ants hidden in the caverns.


    After all, the combined team had once discovered the abandoned nest of the Divine Blood Ant.


    But they never imagined that the Divine Blood Ant colony would swarm out in full force at this time!

 Chapter 35 - Battlefield Transformation, Three Great Dimensional Beasts!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    ¡°This is the Divine Blood Ant!¡±


    Looking at the blue ¡®tide¡¯ on the battlefield, Han Ning immediately recognized them.


    When he first met the Divine Blood Ant at the first research institute, he was amazed by its appearance.


    But now, when he saw the overwhelming number of Divine Blood Ants converging into a river on the ground and surging into the crowd, Han Ning felt a chill run down his spine.


    On the other side of the battlefield, the human soldiers were engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Longevity Bugs.


    The low-level soldiers struggled with all their might, continuously attacking and injuring those Longevity Worms.


    However, the Longevity Worms did not fear death. It was as if the existence of their king gave them motivation.


    As a result, humans were already at a huge disadvantage.


    Now that the Divine Blood Ants were surging over, the situation on the battlefield instantly worsened!


    Compared to the simple and honest Longevity Worms, although the Divine Blood Ants were small in size and their individual combat strength was worse, their temperaments were fiercer and their thirst for flesh and blood was even stronger.


    As soon as the group of Divine Blood Ants entered the battlefield, they quickly surrounded the human soldiers.


    Soon, a large number of Divine Blood Ants began crawling all over the human soldiers¡¯ legs, waist, and even their entire bodies until they completely covered them!


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°What are these bugs!?¡±


    ¡°Ahhh!!!¡±


    Within a few seconds, the human formation collapsed.


    Some of the soldiers that were besieged by the Divine Blood Ants had never even seen such a thing before. Now that they were suddenly attacked, everyone fell into panic.


    Although the officers of the Sun and Qin families were trying their best to maintain order, it was useless.


    Facing the overwhelming number of Divine Blood Ants, the soldiers were unable to resist.


    A Origin-level lifeform couldn¡¯t be killed by stepping on it.


    In fact, even on the ancestral planet, having too many ants was a headache.


    Their movements were nimble, like water that was pervasive. Coupled with their large numbers, it was impossible to kill them one by one.


    Moreover, the Divine Blood Ants here weren¡¯t ordinary ants, but a group of true bloodthirsty beings!


    In the distance, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but take half a step back.


    As a spectator, he had already seen dozens of soldiers turning into blue statues as the Divine Blood Ants piled onto them. Then, they struggled as they slowly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up anymore!


    Bai Yu was deep in thought.


    Logically speaking, different dimensional beasts would kill each other.


    But after this swarm of Divine Blood Ants arrived, they only attacked the soldiers of the Sun and Qin families, completely ignoring the Longevity Worms beside them.


    Just as Bai Yu was pondering, the ten Origin-level combatants in the periphery could no longer sit still.


    Their arrival was to prevent any accidents from happening.


    Now that the five experts were unable to take down the Longevity Worm King and the soldiers of the two families were collapsing, it was time for them to make a move.


    When more than ten soldiers were swallowed by the Divine Blood Ant, one of the Qin family¡¯s soldiers shouted, ¡°Everyone, stop watching. If we continue to wait, both families will die!¡±


    The other nine nodded.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! We have to do it!¡±


    After a brief discussion, the ten of them immediately prepared to enter the battlefield.


    However, there was a saying: ¡°Misfortunes never come singly while fortunes never come together.¡±


    If the ten Origin experts joined the fray now, the soldiers of the Sun and Qin families might suffer heavy losses, but they still had a chance of breaking through.


    Unfortunately, before the ten of them could enter, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from a hill behind the cave!


    ¡°Roar!!!¡±


    This roar reverberated throughout the entire battlefield, causing the entire battlefield to tremble!


    Even the five experts who were fighting couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    Everyone was stunned.


    On the distant hill, blue-skinned dimensional beasts covered in eye-like patterns appeared in dense numbers.


    Broken Unicorns.


    Countless Broken Unicorns!


    Previously, the Broken Unicorns that the two families had encountered in the caverns only numbered in the hundreds. But now, the Broken Unicorns on the other side of the hill were simply endless!


    Not only that, behind the group of Broken Unicorns, there was a huge blue ant and a leader of the Broken Unicorn that was more than ten times larger than an ordinary Broken Unicorn!


    They were the Primal Divine Blood Ant Queen and the Primal Broken Unicorn King!


    Compared to an ordinary one, the color of the Broken Unicorn King¡¯s entire body changed from a lustrous blue to a deep red. The eye patterns on his skin were also clearer, and several thick bone spikes protruded from his rugged back.


    Compared to them, the Divine Blood Ant Queen seemed unremarkable. Besides its massive size, it was no different from an ordinary Divine Blood Ant.


    However, no one present dared to look down on the Broken Unicorn King or the Divine Blood Ant Queen!


    At this moment, the two dimensional beasts were like kings on the battlefield, following their subordinates over and overlooking everything here.


    The five experts, the ten Origin combatants, those Normal soldiers, as well as Bai Yu and Han Ning, were all shocked by the majestic auras emanating from the other parties.


    Han Ning gulped.


    ¡°Professor¡­ is that the Primal Divine Blood Ant Queen?¡±


    Bai Yu was somewhat shaken as well.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s also a Primal Broken Unicorn King.¡±


    It¡¯s over!


    Han Ning only had this thought in his mind.


    Just from the looks of it, the two great dimensional beasts were much more powerful than the Longevity Worm King. It was clear that they had walked even further on the path of the Primal stage.


    The Longevity Worm King alone was enough for the five experts to fight for a long time. With the addition of these two bosses, Sun-Qin wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything!


    The truth was as Han Ning thought.


    At this moment, groups of Broken Unicorns had already attacked.


    Sun-Qin¡¯s combined army, which was already on the verge of collapse, was instantly reduced to a pile of loose sand under the assault of countless giant beasts.


    The leader of the Broken Unicorns and the Divine Blood Ant Queen were also about to arrive at the battlefield.


    At that time, Han Ning could even imagine the scene of those five experts being surrounded and crushed into meat paste!


    That¡¯s right, Han Ning could already feel the wild aura emanating from the two beasts.


    All of a sudden, Han Ning felt his legs become lighter and he was pulled out of his original position!


    Han Ning jumped and looked up to see Tong Bi pulling him along as she ran. Her cold and beautiful face was extremely calm.


    Seeing Han Ning looking over, Tong Bi only said, ¡°This place is dangerous. Leave!¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ okay.¡±


    Han Ning was still in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he quickly strode forward to maintain his balance.


    Beside them, Bai Yu ran along.


    The difference was that Han Ning found that this mentor was actually able to keep up with Tong Bi¡¯s pace and looked very relaxed.


    From the looks of it, Bai Yu must have used countless origin power and genes to raise his cultivation level to a very high level.


    After all, Tong Bi was also a Dimension user at the Origin realm. Her abilities would not be too low.


    Since Bai Yu was able to catch up easily, he was at least in the Origin realm.


    Furthermore, judging from his relaxed expression, this guy¡¯s gene fusion progress might even be higher than Tongbi¡¯s!


    After that, the three of them ran all the way to the Research Institute of Longevity.


    Behind them, groups of Broken Unicorns, Divine Blood Ants and Longevity Worms quickly gathered together, killing the soldiers of the Sun and Qin families until blood flowed like rivers!


    The six experts were also forced into a corner by the three dimensional beasts!

 Chapter 36 - Leap in Strength, Ultimate Vitality Realm!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    The battlefield was not far from the Research Institute of Longevity.


    The five kilometer journey took Han Ning and the other two only ten minutes.


    Entering the laboratory, Bai Yu and Han Ning sat on chairs while Tong Bi stood silently outside the door.


    Not long after they sat down, a shocking roar came from the distant sky!


    Immediately after, a faint light shot over from the sky. The heavens shook and the earth trembled slightly!


    That was from the five experts of the battlefield fighting against the three dimensional beast leaders!


    The commotion of the battle traveled five kilometers to the research institute!


    Looking at the distant sky, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Professor, do you think the experts from the two families will win this time?¡±


    Bai Yu sighed.


    ¡°Hard!¡±


    ¡°The combat power of the dimensional beasts at the same level is stronger than that of humans, and they possess an even more violent and wild nature. The three dimensional beasts should be slightly stronger.¡±


    ¡°Then¡­ the two families will probably lose this time.¡±


    Han Ning took a deep breath.


    He knew that the difference between the level of life and realm was the same as cultivation. The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the gap was between each stage.


    In a battle at the Primal stage, even though the Ultimate Speed Realm was only a small stage higher than the Ultimate Vitality realm, to a certain extent, the latter could easily fight one against two!


    Thinking of the possible outcome, Han Ning asked again, ¡°What should we do now, Professor? Should we give up this place or wait for the result?¡±


    Bai Yu thought for a moment. ¡°Give up, of course!¡±


    ¡°If nothing goes wrong, the dimensional beasts will turn this place upside down within two days. The Research Institute of Longevity will not be able to escape this calamity. Naturally, we should leave.¡±


    Leaving was the best strategy?


    Han Ning¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Previously, he had always wanted to find an opportunity to leave the Sun family, but he had been unable to find it.


    Now that the dimensional beasts had come out to stir up trouble, the Sun family¡¯s defenses here would be completely destroyed. Since that was the case, why not take the opportunity to escape?


    Seeing that Han Ning was silent, Bai Yu thought that he was hesitating. He stood up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯ll arrange for you to devour origin power and fuse the genes. Then, we¡¯ll leave immediately!¡±


    ¡°Devour, fuse?¡±


    Han Ning was shocked and thought that Bai Yu had seen through his thoughts.


    Yes, his idea was to take advantage of the chaos and find an excuse to quickly increase his strength before escaping from the Sun family¡¯s control.


    However, Bai Yu pursed his lips and said, ¡°You don¡¯t say! You¡¯re too weak right now. If you go out like this, you¡¯ll be doomed if you encounter a dimensional beast! After all, you¡¯re my disciple. Obviously, I can¡¯t watch you die!¡±


    With that, Bai Yu pulled Han Ning up.


    ¡°Come with me. Swallow the blood and flesh of those Origin beasts. Then, fuse the genes of the Longevity Worms that you¡¯ve hidden. Let¡¯s talk about it after we reach the peak of Ultimate Vitality Realm!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Professor.¡±


    Han Ning followed Bai Yu to the laboratory, feeling unusually happy.


    Originally, he had been thinking of a reason to increase his strength so that he would not be discovered. However, Bai Yu offered him an opportunity.


    After the master and disciple left, Tong Bi¡¯s figure also silently vanished. She was just like a shadow, able to hide in a corner at any time.


    In next to no time, the master and disciple arrived at the storage room where numerous Normal level corpses of dimensional beasts were stored. There was also a small amount of Divine Blood Ant and Longevity Worm¡¯s corpses.


    The Divine Blood Ants and the Longevity Worms were left over from the previous extraction. The research institute had sufficient methods to maintain the corpses¡¯ activity so that the Longevity Worms would not rot.


    Opening the quarantine layer that was used to preserve the corpses, Bai Yu gestured to Han Ning and said, ¡°Hurry up and devour the flesh to obtain origin power!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Han Ning walked forward and started to eat the flesh of the Longevity Worm.


    At first, Han Ning felt slightly disgusted.


    After all, even though the processed flesh was still raw meat, it was still presentable. But now, Han Ning was directly lying on top of the Longevity Worm¡¯s corpse, devouring it. The scene was truly too tragic.


    However, in order to improve his ability, Han Ning couldn¡¯t care less.


    Originally, Han Ning had already accumulated 92 points of origin energy. Now, he only needed to absorb 108 more points of origin power to meet the requirements to advance to the Ultimate Vitality Realm.


    At the thought that only with sufficient strength would he be able to escape from the control of the Sun family, Han Ning started to devour them crazily.


    As the flesh was swallowed, the origin power within was gradually absorbed.


    Two hours later, the origin power in Han Ning¡¯s status began to rapidly increase.


    92/200


    117/200


    148/200


    ¡­


    Soon, Han Ning¡¯s origin power value reached 200/200!


    At this point, Han Ning still wanted to eat some more flesh.


    After all, he still had to continue advancing in the future, so it was always better to prepare in advance.


    However, no matter how much he swallowed, his origin power value would not continue to increase.


    It seems that the amount of origin power I can absorb at each stage is limited.


    Realizing this, Han Ning immediately stopped eating.


    ¡°Professor, I¡¯ve accumulated enough origin power.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded. He had been waiting here for two to three hours.


    Then, he brought Han Ning into the laboratory.


    ¡°You will start fusing the vitality genes now. If it¡¯s not enough, tell me. The laboratory still has some reserves.¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    At this point, Han Ning no longer put up a facade and started to fuse the genes of the Longevity Worm.


    Outside, the world-shaking sounds of the battle never stopped. However, the commotion was getting smaller and smaller. The frequency of the roars from the dimensional beasts was also becoming less and less frequent.


    From the looks of it, the experts from the Sun and Qin families were probably on the verge of collapsing.


    Han Ning had to complete his transformation before the battle ended.


    Otherwise, once the Sun and Qin families sent people over, all his plans would go down the drain.


    Han Ning sent his consciousness into his dimension status and guided the vitality genes into his body.


    This time, Han Ning also transcended realms to fuse with the higher-leveled genes. But perhaps it was because his body had already suffered from the impact once, the backlash from the Longevity Worm¡¯s genes was not that intense.


    The 100 points of vitality genes were quickly absorbed. Han Ning silently stood still, waiting for the genes to completely fuse.


    Normally, the slower the absorption of origin power and the fusion of genes, the better it would be.


    This was the only way for the two types of energy to fully develop the potential of the human body. Furthermore, Dimension users would not suffer an even stronger backlash from absorbing the energy too quickly.


    However, this was a critical period, so Han Ning couldn¡¯t care less.


    Half an hour later, with the complete fusion of the genes, Han Ning quickly completed the transformation and reached the peak stage of Ultimate Vitality Realm!


    After increasing his realm, Han Ning¡¯s dimension status changed again.


    Dimension User: Han Ning


    Life: Normal-Ultimate Vitality (0/200)


    Gene: Strength 100, Vitality 100


    Lock: Not generated


    Talent: Gene Extraction (SSS)


    Unfused genes: Normal¡ªGray Wolf Gene (9 Points), Thunder Beast Gene (9 Points), Copper Iron Python Gene (9 Points)¡­ Broken Unicorn Gene (18 Points), Murphy Beast Gene (100 Points)


    Origin¡ªDivine Blood Ant Gene (170 Points), Longevity Worm Gene (124 Points)


    Han Ning glanced at the data and smiled in satisfaction..

 Chapter 37 - Destroying the Main Battlefield, Prepare to Run!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After his realm had risen, Han Ning experienced another major change.


    On the dimension status, although the origin power had returned to zero, his realm had increased by one stage!


    As the fusion progress of the strength and vitality genes reached 100, Han Ning felt his entire body being wrapped in a warm current. It was as if there was a ball of fire thumping in his chest!


    Han Ning could feel that his body was much stronger after he swung his fist.


    ¡°Is this the transformation of the Ultimate Vitality Realm?¡±


    Han Ning couldn¡¯t help blurting out.


    Bai Yu said casually, ¡°After fusing with the vitality genes, your lifespan will be extended and your strength will be better displayed. Your strength has more than doubled compared to when you were at your Ultimate Strength Realm!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Professor!¡±


    Han Ning thanked him sincerely.


    In terms of improving his strength, Bai Yu had indeed given him a lot of help this time.


    Speaking of which, if Bai Yu had wanted to betray him, he would have been a dead man when he first fused his genes.


    Right now, Bai Yu had once again helped him to raise his cultivation realm rapidly.


    Han Ning would never forget this kindness.


    Bai Yu did not know what he was thinking.


    Seeing that Han Ning was fine, he said again, ¡°The next stage is the Ultimate Speed Realm. You have already completed the fusion of your vitality genes. Now follow me to devour more origin power and strive to reach the Ultimate Speed Realm before tomorrow morning!¡±


    ¡°More?¡±


    Han Ning was stunned.


    From the peak of Ultimate Strength to the peak of Ultimate Vitality, Han Ning had completed his evolution within a few hours.


    Right now, he didn¡¯t even have time to get used to his new powers before Bai Yu made him continue to devour the flesh.


    Since when did evolution become such a casual thing?


    Bai Yu did not care what Han Ning thought.


    Once the two families were defeated, a large number of dimensional beasts would attack this place at any time. At that time, Han Ning would not be able to protect himself with his current strength.


    Even though the absorption process would be incomplete if he were to raise his cultivation too quickly, it was a matter of life and death, so he didn¡¯t have the time to bother about it.


    Thus, Bai Yu urged, ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and devour the flesh. Without reaching Ultimate Speed Realm, you won¡¯t be able to escape the attack of the dimensional beasts!¡±


    Once he said that, Han Ning stopped hesitating.


    Now, he could obtain such a convenient evolutionary condition was because the research institute itself provided him with the corresponding conditions.


    In the future, Han Ning might not be able to find such a convenient opportunity to advance in the wild.


    After arriving at the storage room, Han Ning continued to devour flesh and blood to absorb the origin power.


    During this time, Bai Yu had injected him with two doses of a genetic drug used to stabilize his energy. This was to prevent Han Ning from fusing origin power too quickly, causing his foundation to be unstable and affecting his future development.


    Large amounts of flesh and blood were devoured and digested. Han Ning¡¯s current origin power also began to rapidly increase.


    At the same time, in the caverns of Mount Eternal¡¯s battlefield.


    Three powerful dimensional beasts were forcing the five experts into a corner from different directions!


    In the surroundings, Sun-Qin¡¯s combined army had long since been wiped out. The large number of Divine Blood Ants and Broken Unicorns that had entered the battlefield earlier had already dealt a devastating blow to the ordinary soldiers!


    Currently, there were less than a hundred surviving soldiers from the two families, and they were still surrounded by the beasts.


    Apart from them, there were also three Origin level warriors struggling at death¡¯s door.


    The rest became food for the dimensional beasts.


    At this moment, all five experts were injured and covered in blood.


    The color of the blood was not of a single color. Instead, it was astonishingly colorful. Among them were their own, and also the blood of the three dimensional beast leaders.


    As for the three Primal dimensional beasts, only the Longevity Worm King was slightly injured, while the Broken Unicorn King and the Divine Blood Ant Queen only had superficial wounds.


    Although they had fought until the world was flipped upside down, the attacks of the five experts did not have any substantial effect at all!


    The five of them were filled with despair as they faced the three massive dimensional beasts.


    Even Qin Weiyang, who had always been calm, was helpless now.


    After fighting for five to six hours, they had seriously injured the Longevity Worm King. However, they themselves were completely exhausted from the attacks of the other two Primal dimensional beasts. They no longer had the strength to fight.


    In the next moment, the leader of the Broken Unicorn charged forward. Its huge mouth opened and closed, instantly biting onto an expert!


    That expert didn¡¯t even have the chance to scream before he was chewed into a bloody pulp!


    ¡°Damn it! Run! Run!¡±


    Seeing what happened, Qin Weiyang screamed.


    Only now did he understand.


    The three different species of dimension beasts didn¡¯t fight each other at all and instead joined forces to attack them. This meant that the three Primal dimensional beasts had already reached an agreement!


    Primal dimensional beasts had simple intelligence!


    In that case, it was very likely that when the Sun and Qin families were preparing to join forces to kill them, the dimensional beasts were also thinking about how to destroy them!


    However, it was already too late to understand everything now.


    Before the four of them could make a move, the three dimensional beasts attacked simultaneously!


    The four of them fought with all their might, but after exhausting all their strength, they were powerless to resist. In just half an hour, the four experts were treated like snacks by the three Primal dimensional beast.


    With the end of the high-end battle, the joint operation of the Sun and Qin families was also declared a complete failure.


    The remaining soldiers were quickly dealt with. The three dimensional beasts constantly let out sharp roars. As for the Longevity Worms, the Divine Blood Ant, and the Broken Unicorn, they all followed these roars and attacked in all directions!


    There was still the smell of living people here.


    They were the countless workers hired by the Sun and Qin families, as well as the other troops and workers in charge of excavating this area.


    After tonight, they would all die in the mouth of the dimensional beasts!


    Meanwhile, inside the Research Institute of Longevity, Han Ning quickly finished absorbing the origin power as soon as the battle outside ended.


    After swallowing the last mouthful of flesh, the gentle origin power began to enter his limbs and bones. The value of origin power on his dimension status also increased to 200/200!


    This also meant that Han Ning¡¯s realm had officially crossed from Ultimate Vitality to Ultimate Speed!


    This time, Han Ning was even more straightforward.


    The moment he entered the Ultimate Speed Realm, he immediately fused the Broken Unicorn¡¯s speed genes into his body!


    With his previous experiences, Han Ning quickly adapted to the fusion process.


    Turning around, Han Ning said to Bai Yu, ¡°Professor, I¡¯m done absorbing.¡±


    Bai Yu nodded and listened to the commotion outside.


    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been any vibration for such a long time. The battle must have ended. You now have the ability to protect yourself. We will gather the important equipment and materials and prepare to leave!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Han Ning replied as he followed Bai Yu to the laboratory.


    On the way, Han Ning¡¯s thoughts became more active.


    If the battle really ended, the news would definitely spread over very quickly.


    At that time, if the Sun and Qin families really lost, he would immediately escape from the Sun family¡¯s control!


    Thinking of this, Han Ning looked at Bai Yu¡¯s back.


    It had to be said that ever since he entered Dimension, this mentor had been really good to him. Han Ning was also very grateful for his teaching and help during this period of time.


    However, Han Ning had his own choice. He was not willing to work for the financial group forever.. Compared to personal grudges, he was more concerned about whether he could break free from the Sun family¡¯s restraints and control his own fate!

 Chapter 38 - Invasion of the Dimensional Beast Wave, Moving Again

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Arriving at the laboratory, the master and disciple began to pack up the relatively valuable items.


    Ever since they moved here, the equipment in the research institute hadn¡¯t been upgraded, so there weren¡¯t many things to sort out.


    After a brief summary, Bai Yu found Su Jie outside and asked the military to send a team for relocation.


    After all, the master and disciple were unable to move that much equipment.


    Outside the research institute, Su Jie had been arranging some matters in his tent.


    He did not participate in the battle at the caverns. As the research institute¡¯s captain of the guard, he had his own duties.


    Bai Yu walked straight into his tent without any restraint.


    Upon seeing Su Jie, Bai Yu went straight to the point. ¡°Captain Su, the battle in the caverns should have already failed. Please organize some people to help the research institute evacuate from here.¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    Su Jie was shocked.


    ¡°There are six experts of the Primal stage over there, and also dozens of elites that are ready to attack at any time. How can they lose?¡±


    Bai Yu did not have much time to explain. He only told Su Jie about the situation and his guesses.


    In the end, Bai Yu added, ¡°If nothing goes wrong, a large number of dimensional beasts will attack this place soon. I suggest Captain Su leave with us.¡±


    It took Su Jie a while to digest Bai Yu¡¯s words. Then, he said helplessly, ¡°The order from the higher-ups is to guard the research institute with my life. Even if the frontline is defeated, I can¡¯t leave my post.¡±


    Su Jie shouted, ¡°Team Leader Liu!¡±


    ¡°Here!¡±


    Liu Ci acknowledged and walked in.


    Su Jie said solemnly, ¡°Researcher Bai brought news that the front line of the caverns is likely to be defeated. Now, you will be responsible for escorting Researcher Bai and Assistant Han and evacuate the research institute.¡±


    ¡°In addition, inform everyone here to be prepared to defend against a large-scale invasion of dimensional beasts!¡±


    ¡°Captain, are you saying that our front line lost?¡±


    Liu Ci was also very surprised. He didn¡¯t know how the Sun and Qin families could lose when so many experts were participating in the battle at the same time.


    However, Su Jie could not be bothered to explain to him. He shouted, ¡°Cut the crap and do as you say!¡±


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Liu Ci quickly left.


    A soldier¡¯s duty was to obey orders. No matter how much disbelief he felt, Liu Ci did not say anything else.


    Bai Yu quickly bade farewell. ¡°Captain Su, we¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    Su Jie waved goodbye.


    As for how he would deal with the imminent wave of attacks, that was none of Bai Yu¡¯s business.


    Half an hour later, Liu Ci and twenty soldiers collected all the items in the research institute.


    Their destination this time was the old research institute where everything had originated from.


    That place was more than hundreds of kilometers away, and it was the main territory of the Sun family. It would not be threatened by the dimensional beasts.


    With danger at hand, everything was arranged in a hurry.


    After arriving at Mount Eternal, Bai Yu and Han Ning had actually collected a lot of research data, but they could only abandon them now.


    However, even though everyone was decisive enough, they still encountered trouble.


    Just as everyone was gathering the key equipment and preparing to leave the research institute, countless people suddenly cried out in alarm.


    ¡°It¡¯s dimensional beasts! A large number of dimensional beasts!¡±


    ¡°Oh my god, did the frontline lose? What are those monsters? I¡¯ve never seen them before!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, everyone, run!¡±


    A hubbub of voices rose and fell. It was the group of workers who had previously been stationed outside the research institute.


    Originally, the Sun and Qin families had planned to send them to the caverns to collect resources after they had eliminated the dimensional beasts. But now that the front line had been defeated and a large number of dimensional beasts was invading, these workers were the first to be attacked by the dimensional beasts!


    Facing the Divine Blood Ants and Broken Unicorns, the workers were instantly thrown into chaos!


    They were not in a battle formation and the strongest among them was only at Normal-Ultimate Vitality Realm. How could they resist the ferocious wave of dimensional beasts?


    In the blink of an eye, many of the workers were either dead or injured.


    Han Ning watched this scene from afar and had the urge to go and rescue them.


    But he understood that with their current combat strength, going over to save them was tantamount to suicide.


    Bai Yu turned around and said, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave. On the first day of entering Dimension, those workers should be prepared to face danger at any time.¡±


    Han Ning could only nod.


    If he was strong enough, he could naturally help.


    Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t even protect himself now.


    The migratory team left quickly. The workers being in danger, actually helped to buy them some time.


    Otherwise, those beasts would have been able to reach the research institute immediately.


    If that was the case, they wouldn¡¯t be able to leave even if they wanted to.


    By the time they were a few hundred meters away, more than half of the workers had died.


    In the face of the sudden attack of the dimensional beasts, ordinary people like them, who had not been trained before, were simply living targets. Their casualty rate was much faster than that of the regular army.


    Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but take a few glances and then he stopped looking back.


    Soon, everyone left the research institute and entered the wilderness outside.


    At this moment, Liu Ci arrived before the master and disciple duo.


    ¡°Gentlemen, we are about to enter the wilderness. Please do not wander around. Our mission is to escort you safely out of here.¡±


    Han Ning then noticed that Liu Ci was the team leader who spoke to him that night.


    At that time, Liu Ci told him that as long as he did not have any other thoughts, his future would definitely be bright.


    At that time, Han Ning thought that he was being warned.


    Now that they met again. Han Ning took the initiative to greet him. ¡°Team Leader Liu, it¡¯s you. Why isn¡¯t Captain Su Jie here?¡±


    Liu Ci¡¯s expression turned serious.


    ¡°Captain, he¡­ he wants to guard the research institute.¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡±


    Han Ning was shocked.


    So many elite warriors had died under the dimensional beast wave. Most of Su Jie¡¯s subordinates were ordinary soldiers. They were no match for the dimensional beasts.


    To put it bluntly, they would be courting death if they were to face the dimensional beast wave!


    Liu Ci sighed and didn¡¯t say anything else.


    Bai Yu suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask anymore, Han Ning. This is their duty as soldiers.¡±


    Han Ning didn¡¯t understand what these soldiers were thinking. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene when he was chatting with Su Jie.


    Strictly speaking, this young captain was not easy to get along with. Other than the first few words he had spoken to him, the rest of their meetings were mostly to pass down messages from the Sun family.


    And now, this somewhat cold captain wanted to sacrifice himself and his subordinates for that impossible mission?


    While thinking, Han Ning asked, ¡°Team Leader Liu, what is your realm?¡±


    Liu Ci didn¡¯t think too much about it and said casually, ¡°Normal level, Ultimate Mystery Realm.¡±


    Han Ning nodded slightly.


    This time, the Sun family did not send too many people to escort them.


    The path they were on was in the wilderness, and it was suitable for him to secretly escape.


    He had already observed that the twenty soldiers who were in charge of escorting them were all Normal Dimension users that had not fused with genes.. The only problem he had to solve was this Team Leader Liu who was on Ultimate Mystery Realm!

 Chapter 39 - Assault on the Journey, The Golden Moment!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    After Han Ning asked Liu Ci about his ability, he started to think of ways to escape.


    Before this, he had rapidly raised his strength to the Ultimate Speed Realm, and the fusion of his speed genes had also progressed by 18 points.


    With Han Ning¡¯s current strength, it was more than enough for him to deal with the ordinary soldiers in the team. However, the only problem was Liu Ci.


    Ultimate Mystery Realm is one stage higher than Ultimate Speed Realm.


    Liu Ci has been in the army for years. His combat experience and techniques are definitely better than mine.


    In that case, I have to think of a way to get out of Liu Ci¡¯s sight.


    As he thought about this, Han Ning didn¡¯t show any change in his expression.


    Now, they had just left the vicinity of the Research Institute of Longevity. If there was any commotion, the Sun family¡¯s men could arrive any time. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to escape.


    Moreover, the surroundings were all controlled by the Sun family. It would be the biggest joke in the world if he were to encounter another group of people from the Sun family when he finally managed to escape from this group!


    Therefore, Han Ning decided to wait for the team to advance for a while before thinking of a way to escape.


    More than twenty people walked side by side in the wilderness. Apart from controlling their own mounts, the soldiers also had to take care of the Cloud Chasing Horses that were dragging the equipment.


    As such, everyone was inevitably distracted, and their vigilance was greatly reduced.


    In the past, this would not have been a problem at all.


    When soldiers traveled in the wilderness, they would usually send one or two soldiers to scout ahead to prevent the sudden appearance of any dimensional beasts or enemies from attacking the main force.


    However, at this critical juncture, the Sun family did not have enough manpower in the Research Institute of Longevity, so the team escorting Han Ning and the others could not be equipped with scouts.


    As such, this greatly increased the danger of this trip.


    Half an hour later, the team was already far away from the research institute. The howls of the humans and beasts behind them were also getting further and further away.


    Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief and was prepared to continue their journey, seven to eight dimensional beasts suddenly appeared on both sides of the road!


    Their skin was rugged and had the iconic eye-shaped patterns with a lustrous blue luster!


    ¡°It¡¯s the Broken Unicorns! These bastards have come here!¡±


    Han Ning recognized the Broken Unicorns and alerted them subconsciously.


    However, this group of Broken Unicorns moved very quickly. In addition, the terrain here was narrow and with rugged mountain slopes on both sides of the road, everyone had no space to retreat!


    This time, things were a little bad.


    Han Ning remembered that the ordinary Broken Unicorn was in the realm of Normal-Ultimate Strength to Ultimate Vitality. On the other hand, most of the team members were Dimension users who had yet to fuse with any genes!


    Now, although they had only encountered seven to eight of these Broken Unicorns, their strength was enough to crush these soldiers!


    In a split second, those Broken Unicorns had already rushed to the front of the crowd.


    The Chasing Cloud Horses were frightened and let out whimpers.


    The group of soldiers were completely caught unprepared and could not help but panic.


    In the end, it was Liu Ci, the team leader, who gave the command. ¡°Face the enemies in our battle formation. Protect the important equipment!¡±


    However, the soldiers had no ability to resist the Broken Unicorns, which were at a higher level than them.


    The entire team fell into chaos. A few Broken Unicorns recklessly charged into the crowd. Liu Ci wanted to maintain the situation, but he couldn¡¯t.


    With his strength, he could only deal with two Broken Unicorns at once.


    But the remaining Broken Unicorns were enough to mess up the entire team.


    At this moment, people suddenly discovered that a Broken Unicorn that had charged into the crowd was actually sent flying. It had even knocked another Broken Unicorn upside down!


    ¡°Holy shit! Professor, you¡¯re so awesome?¡±


    Han Ning was stunned by this scene.


    The person who had sent the Broken Unicorn flying was none other than the cultured and refined Bai Yu!


    Although he had guessed Bai Yu¡¯s strength, he was still surprised when his mentor, who was always smiling, defeated two Broken Unicorns with a single punch.


    Not only Han Ning, but everyone else also looked at this researcher.


    Like Han Ning, they didn¡¯t expect this researcher to be the strongest in the team!


    Looking at everyone¡¯s gazes, Bai Yu smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there. Hurry up and protect the equipment. Leave these Broken Unicorns to me and my disciple.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sir Researcher!¡±


    The soldiers immediately obeyed.


    There were still five to six other Broken Unicorns around. Other than this researcher, they were no match for them.


    At this moment, the other five or six Broken Unicorns seemed to be frightened by Bai Yu¡¯s battle prowess. They all stopped where they were and hesitated whether to continue forward or not.


    Bai Yu took the opportunity to whisper to Han Ning, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to leave the Sun family? Take this opportunity to defeat these Broken Unicorns and escape in the chaos!¡±


    ¡°Remember, don¡¯t go deep into the wilderness. Right now, you only have your realm, but you don¡¯t have enough battle and survival experience. If you go deep into the wilderness, you will also die!¡±


    Boom!


    Bai Yu¡¯s words were like a bolt from the blue!


    Professor, he actually knew that he wanted to escape from the Sun family!


    At this moment, Han Ning looked at Bai Yu and felt that he was a monster.


    Bai Yu had predicted the existence of the Primal dimensional beasts in the caverns, he had also predicted that the Sun and Qin families would be defeated in the battle. He had known about the genes he had hidden and seen through his plan to escape from the Sun family!


    Han Ning had never revealed any hint of this thought to anyone!


    Bai Yu, what else could he not think of?


    Seeing that Han Ning was still in a daze, Bai Yu decided to alarm a Broken Unicorn.


    That Broken Unicorn recovered from its hesitation and charged towards Han Ning, who was the closest to him.


    Han Ning immediately focused.


    He had never fought before, so he could not help but be flustered at this moment.


    Faced with Broken Unicorn¡¯s attack, Han Ning only hastily gave it a punch and even subconsciously took half a step back.


    There was nothing he could do about it. From the beginning to the end, he had only seen the dimensional beasts killing people.


    This was the first time he was facing these dimensional life forms, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel fearful.


    But very soon, Han Ning discovered that this Broken Unicorn in front of him was so vulnerable!


    Before this, Han Ning¡¯s realm had already reached the stage of Normal-Ultimate Speed. The explosive power and reaction speed of his body far surpassed his opponent.


    Now, with just a casual punch from Han Ning, this Broken Unicorn was sent flying like a kite that had broken off from the string!


    It was only then that Han Ning truly felt the power coming from the evolution of life!


    Before he came to Dimension, he felt that it was strenuous to even run a kilometer. Now that his body had evolved, he could actually send a dimensional beast weighing tons flying with a single punch!


    Furthermore, he did not feel that it was tiring at all!


    The Broken Unicorn was knocked back by the attack, and a gap immediately appeared in front of Han Ning.


    At this moment, the soldiers were busy dealing with the Broken Unicorns and protecting the equipment. Han Ning looked at the rugged mountain slope in front of him and his heart started to beat wildly!


    The team had fallen into chaos. Liu Ci was also entangled by two Broken Unicorns.. If he wanted to run, now was the golden moment!

 Chapter 40 - Breaking Free from the Control, Killing Liu Ci!

    Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


    Run, or not?


    At this moment, Han Ning was struggling internally.


    Breaking free from the Sun family¡¯s control was something he had always wanted to do.


    However, for some reason, Han Ning felt conflicted when faced with such a good opportunity.


    However, his desire for freedom soon overcame these complex emotions.


    He quickly scanned his surroundings and saw that Liu Ci was busy dealing with two Broken Unicorns. Han Ning immediately stopped hesitating!


    This area was no longer under the control of the Sun family. It was the wilderness and no one could control his fate now. If he didn¡¯t run now, when would he?


    Thoughts flashed in his mind and Han Ning moved!


    At this time, that Broken Unicorn which had been beaten up had already gotten back up, but it no longer attacked Han Ning.


    The previous punch made this beast realize that it could not afford to offend the human in front of it. Hence, it turned around and charged towards the ordinary soldiers.


    However, Han Ning did not care. He ran straight up the rugged slope!


    The sounds of fighting between the Broken Unicorns and the people behind him could be heard clearly by Han Ning. His breathing gradually accelerated!


    Hopefully!


    Hopefully, Liu Ci would notice him later.


    In this way, he would be able to escape from the other party¡¯s line of sight without any trouble!


    However, before crossing the hill, Han Ning couldn¡¯t help but look back at Bai Yu.


    This person could be considered his first teacher on the path of genetic evolution. It was him who had taught him a lot about genes and evolution.


    Previously, he had almost died from fusing with the Origin genes and it was also because of him that he was allowed to keep his life.


    And now, Bai Yu was dealing with two Broken Unicorns with difficulty.


    However, Han Ning knew that with Bai Yu¡¯s strength, he could easily handle it.


    His teacher, this young researcher whom Han Ning had never been able to understand, was holding back his strength so that he could distract the others, allowing him to leave smoothly.


    Only then did Han Ning fully understand Bai Yu¡¯s intentions.


    Previously, when Bai Yu urged him to absorb origin power and fuse his genes, he must have known that he was looking for an opportunity to escape. That was why he had specially raised his cultivation realm so that he could deal with any possible trouble.


    It could be said that Bai Yu had given Han Ning a new life.


    But now, Han Ning didn¡¯t even have time to say goodbye.


    To be honest, Han Ning could never understand this mentor¡¯s thoughts. Since he was from the Sun family, why had he been helping him to escape?


    However, it was useless to think about this now.


    Suppressing his emotions, Han Ning stopped looking at the battlefield behind him and started to run away.


    On the narrow path, Bai Yu waited until Han Ning had left for a long time before he suddenly pushed back the two Broken Unicorns and shouted at the same time, ¡°Team Leader Liu, Han Ning seems to have disappeared. He might have escaped during the chaos!¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Liu Ci was busy dealing with the Broken Unicorns¡¯ attacks. When he heard this news, he could not react in time.


    Bai Yu said loudly, ¡°Ever since that kid started following me, he has been thinking of escaping. The Broken Unicorns were holding me back just now and he ran away while I wasn¡¯t paying attention!¡±


    Liu Ci was shocked.


    He had heard Su Jie mention Han Ning¡¯s talent before. He was an important figure that the Sun family valued greatly!


    Now that he had escaped right under his nose, the Sun family would definitely punish him severely!


    Bai Yu seemed to have expected his reaction and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you deal with the Broken Unicorns. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything here. Let¡¯s get him back first!¡±


    With that said, Bai Yu rushed to Liu Ci¡¯s side and blocked the Broken Unicorns¡¯ attacks for him.


    Liu Ci gasped for his breath. ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Then, he flew up the hill and chased after Han Ning!


    That was the family¡¯s treasure. If he ran away, even ten of him would not be enough to pay for it!


    After Liu Ci disappeared, Bai Yu killed the two dimensional beasts easily.


    Looking at the hill in front of him that wasn¡¯t too tall, Bai Yu sighed. ¡°Disciple, this is all I can help you with. The rest will depend on your own luck.¡±


    On the back of the hill, Han Ning ran frantically, but his heart was exceptionally happy!


    From today onwards, he would be the owner of his own destiny. He would no longer have to act according to the wishes of the financial group, nor would he have to worry about being abandoned by them one day!


    This feeling of being free from the cage made Han Ning want to laugh out loud!


    But soon, Han Ning heard hurried footsteps behind him.


    Liu Ci was really fast. As soon as Han Ning ran down the hill, he caught up with him from behind!


    Seeing Han Ning from afar, Liu Ci warned him loudly, ¡°Han Ning, the family has treated you well. Why did you run away?¡±


    Han Ning ignored him. He just wanted to get rid of him.


    However, Liu Ci, who was in the Ultimate Mystery Realm, was faster. Seeing that Han Ning was ignoring him, he immediately sped up.


    Looks like it¡¯s impossible to escape unscathed today.


    Seeing that Liu Ci was getting closer and closer, Han Ning steeled his heart.


    Han Ning had been keeping a low profile ever since he entered Dimension, and this was all for the sake of finding an opportunity to leave the Sun family.


    Now that freedom was right before his eyes, no one could bring him back!


    Gritting his teeth, Han Ning began to secretly gather his strength.


    The other party¡¯s realm was one level higher than his. Only through taking him by surprise could he have a chance of winning.


    The genetic energy in Han Ning¡¯s body started to activate rapidly as he clenched his fists tightly. As long as Liu Ci dared to approach him, he would use his strongest move as if his life depended on it.


    Although he might not be Liu Ci¡¯s match, Han Ning had finally gotten to where he was today. How could he give up so easily?


    Behind him, Liu Ci¡¯s footsteps approached quickly.


    Han Ning slowed down unconsciously, ready to deal Liu Ci a fatal blow!


    Ten seconds later, Liu Ci was almost on Han Ning¡¯s back.


    Seeing that Han Ning was still running away, Liu Ci warned him, ¡°Assistant Han, come back with me. Or else don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ning turned around and threw a punch!


    The fist went straight for Liu Ci¡¯s face. The fierce wind from the fist made Liu Ci unable to open his eyes.


    In that instant, Liu Ci was completely dumbfounded!


    He had just experienced a tiring battle and his condition was far from his peak. Furthermore, he did not expect Han Ning to try and kill him without even saying anything!


    With just a blink of an eye, Han Ning¡¯s punch landed ruthlessly on Liu Ci¡¯s face.


    Liu Ci¡¯s face caved right in from the vicious punch. His body was like a broken sack as he flew more than ten meters away!


    Seeing this, Han Ning did not dare to let his guard down.


    The opponent¡¯s realm was higher than his. He was not sure if his punch had made the opponent lose his combat ability.


    Hence, Han Ning flew forward and landed a barrage of hits on Liu Ci right as he crashed onto the ground!


    Han Ning was extremely strong now and after the barrage of hits, Liu Ci¡¯s bones were all broken and blood gushed out of his mouth. There was no life left in him..
