    Chapter 222

    What did Yashan and the others see?

    Within a radius of nearly four thousand meters centered on Temple Forest City, everything had been transformed into crystal.

    The streets...

    The buildings...

    The walls...

    Even the towering trees...

    Everything had become a vast crimson crystal landscape.

    At first glance, it resembled the Diamond Armor of the Lifebearer sequence.

    Yet it was completely different from Yashan's transparent crystal armor.

    These crystals possessed a faint crimson hue.

    Wisps of red mist continuously drifted from their surfaces before dispersing into the air.

    Temple Forest City had become a city of crystal.

    Every building looked like a gigantic sculpture carved from flawless red gemstones.

    An indescribable pressure radiated from the entire city.

    Even the Sequence Seven mutants hovering in the sky instinctively felt their hearts tighten.

    Their Blood Qi warned them—

    Danger.

    Extreme danger.

    At the very center of the ruined experimental base lay an enormous beast.

    Its gigantic body rose and fell slowly with each breath.

    The terrifying aura engulfing the city clearly originated from it.

    Among the team, Gaili of the Mimic sequence stared blankly at the creature.

    After a long silence, he muttered,

    "Could that be..."

    "...the legendary God?"

    "But..."

    "It doesn't look like the murals."

    The creature possessed a human-like face...

    The body of a tiger...

    A long scorpion-like tail...

    A single horn growing from its forehead...

    Four thick, powerful limbs...

    And a pair of enormous wings folded behind its back.

    It looked like a divine beast straight out of ancient legend.

    Layer after layer of crimson crystalline armor covered its body.

    The smooth texture reminded Yashan of someone.

    Boss Wei.

    The armor looked remarkably similar to the crystal armor Boss Wei always used.

    Meng Chuan swallowed nervously.

    "Boss Yashan..."

    "What should we do?"

    Even Yashan felt uncertain.

    The monster before them was unlike anything they had ever encountered.

    Could they even defeat such a creature?

    But...

    He was the leader.

    Some responsibilities could not be avoided.

    Besides...

    Boss Wei was still their greatest support.

    If they couldn't handle it—

    They could always call for Boss Wei.

    Yashan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

    "Have all civilians been evacuated?"

    Meng Chuan immediately replied,

    "Yes."

    "Everyone has already left."

    "No matter how fierce the battle becomes, innocent people won't be caught in it."

    Yashan nodded.

    "Good."

    He looked around at everyone.

    "This is the first large-scale operation undertaken by the Sequence Seven Special Operations Team."

    "Stay alert."

    Everyone answered in unison.

    "Yes, Captain Yashan!"

    "Let's go."

    "We'll test its strength first."

    The aircraft slowly descended.

    It landed near the edge of the crimson crystal field.

    After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to first determine just how durable these crystals were.

    One after another, they launched attacks.

    Blades...

    Threads...

    Diamond weapons...

    Blood Qi...

    Runes...

    Every method they possessed was used.

    After several minutes...

    Everyone silently exchanged glances.

    Their attacks had barely left any marks.

    But...

    They had successfully awakened the sleeping monster.

    "ROAR——"

    A deafening roar echoed across the heavens.

    Everyone's expressions changed instantly.

    Moments later, the gigantic crimson beast rushed toward them with astonishing speed before stopping only a short distance away.

    It lowered its head slightly.

    Its golden eyes curiously examined the eight strangely shaped humans before it.

    Almost...

    Like a person observing unfamiliar little animals.

    Yashan immediately condensed a crystal longsword.

    Little Light's rune combinations had long since become standard equipment for the Special Operations Team.

    Several runes lit up simultaneously.

    Tier Two—Sharpness.

    Tier Two—Penetration.

    Tier Two—Hardening.

    Holding the blade tightly, Yashan spoke in a low voice.

    "I'll attack first."

    "Watch carefully."

    "If an opportunity appears, strike immediately."

    The instant he finished speaking—

    His feet exploded against the ground.

    Boom!

    His figure shot forward like a cannonball.

    The crimson beast merely blinked.

    Then...

    Almost lazily...

    It lifted one enormous claw and casually swatted forward.

    Bang!

    Yashan flew backward even faster than he had charged.

    Meng Chuan and the others stared blankly.

    "..."

    How...

    Could Captain Yashan be sent flying so easily?

    Yashan flipped several times before finally stabilizing himself.

    Ignoring the pain throughout his body, he shouted,

    "Armor-breaking plan!"

    "Attack!"

    Everyone immediately executed the prearranged tactics.

    Lightning.

    Fire.

    Threads.

    Diamond weapons.

    Blood Qi techniques.

    One attack after another landed upon the beast.

    Yet within moments...

    The carefully assembled Special Operations Team had been completely scattered.

    They simply couldn't fight back.

    "Use Lightning!"

    "Lightning works!"

    Yashan shouted.

    Everyone immediately activated Tier Two—Lightning runes.

    Crack!

    Bolts of lightning struck the beast one after another.

    This time...

    The monster finally paused for an instant.

    Only an instant.

    Even so, it was enough.

    Whenever they were about to be caught, another lightning rune would briefly stun the beast, buying precious time to retreat.

    Thus, they fought while withdrawing.

    They tested every attack they possessed.

    Nothing could seriously injure the monster.

    Eventually...

    After retreating several kilometers...

    They suddenly discovered something strange.

    The beast had stopped chasing them.

    Instead...

    It simply turned around...

    Returned to the ruins of Temple Forest City...

    Lay back down where it had originally been...

    And quietly resumed resting.

    Everyone was speechless.

    "..."

    What was going on?

    Yashan slowly flew higher.

    Activating Tier Two—Far Sight, he observed the beast from afar through the scope attached to his crystal spear.

    After increasing the magnification several times...

    He finally saw clearly.

    The gigantic monster had lowered its head.

    Its enormous claws were...

    Playing with...

    A tiny little round mouse.

    The poor little creature trembled violently with fear, not daring to resist even slightly while the enormous beast gently nudged it around.

    Yashan's expression became rather strange.

    "..."

    "...A little round mouse?"

    After thinking for a moment, he decisively gave the order.

    "Withdraw."

    "Continue monitoring the monster twenty-four hours a day."

    "And..."

    He paused briefly before adding,

    "Release a large number of little round mice into Temple Forest City."

    "If it likes playing with them..."

    "Then let it keep playing."

    "At least it'll stay peaceful for now."

    The little round mice remained silent.

    "..."

    ...

    When Su Hao slowly regained consciousness...

    He opened his eyes.

    The first thing he noticed...

    Was that his arms and legs had become incredibly short.

    He froze.

    "..."

    What happened?

    Was this...

    The body of God?

    How could it be so weak?

    This wasn't evolution.

    It looked more like regression.

    But soon...

    Su Hao realized something even more unbelievable.

    He had...

    Reincarnated.

    Once again, he had entered a brand-new world.

    And once again...

    He had become a powerless child.

    "..."

    "Damn."

    "Did I actually fail?"

    "Even with a ninety-nine point nine percent success rate..."

    "I still failed?"

    "Was Little Light's simulation wrong..."

    "Or am I simply that unlucky?"

    Suppressing the urge to curse, Su Hao remained perfectly still.

    He first observed his surroundings.

    It was night.

    He was lying on an iron-framed bed.

    Moonlight filtered through the window.

    The faint light allowed him to barely make out the room.

    Three more identical beds stood nearby.

    Two of them were occupied by children around four or five years old.

    The remaining bed was empty.

    Outside the window...

    A bright white LED streetlamp illuminated the courtyard.

    Su Hao immediately reached a conclusion.

    "A modern world..."

    "It looks like a dormitory."

    "Perhaps an orphanage... or a boarding school."

    "At least..."

    "I'm temporarily safe."

    He closed his eyes once more.

    His consciousness entered the Marble Space.

    He urgently needed to know what had happened.

    The moment he entered...

    Little Light's familiar voice sounded.

    "Welcome back, Mr. Su Hao."

    "I will now begin today's report—"

    Su Hao interrupted immediately.

    "Report elapsed time."

    "Use units of ten thousand years."

    Little Light answered without delay.

    "Elapsed time since your previous return..."

    "...Three million two hundred eighty thousand years."

    Su Hao fell silent.

    Even after living through so many reincarnations...

    Three million years still felt unimaginably long.

    He sighed softly.

    "Retrieve all information regarding my evolution into God."

    The Marble Space immediately reconstructed the entire process.

    Every moment of the evolution replayed before his eyes.

    After watching everything...

    Su Hao remained silent for a very long time.

    He had both succeeded...

    And failed.

    His body had indeed evolved successfully.

    All eight Sequence Seven bloodlines had fused perfectly according to his design.

    His physical strength had reached an unprecedented level.

    However...

    Those bloodlines had originally belonged to countless powerful mutant beasts.

    When completely fused together...

    The savage instincts hidden within those genes were also awakened.

    His body retained overwhelming power.

    But...

    Its rational mind had completely collapsed.

    The brain itself had degenerated into little more than the instincts of a wild beast.

    Without a functioning brain capable of supporting higher consciousness...

    Su Hao's consciousness was forcibly expelled.

    The moment the evolution succeeded...

    His original body had effectively died.

    A body without reason could no longer serve as the vessel for his consciousness.

    Su Hao sighed quietly.

    "So..."

    "The perfect body still doesn't exist."

    "The road ahead..."

    "...is still very long."

    He continued,

    "Retrieve all subsequent historical records."

    Little Light immediately divided the records into two separate timelines.

    One belonged to Yashan.

    The other belonged to Heli and all of his descendants.

    Su Hao first examined Yashan's records.

    Watching everything unfold...

    He felt rather embarrassed.

    The beast his body had become...

    Really had caused the Zhu Huo people tremendous trouble.

    Fortunately...

    Although the beast was unimaginably powerful...

    It never willingly left Temple Forest City.

    Instead...

    It remained there like the world's strongest dungeon boss.

    Every few years...

    Yashan would organize another campaign to defeat it.

    Every campaign ended in failure.

    Unfortunately...

    Each defeat only made the beast more experienced in combat.

    Eventually...

    Yashan grew old.

    Knowing his life was nearing its end, he launched one final battle.

    Burning away his entire remaining lifespan...

    He unleashed the Lifebearer's ultimate technique—

    Decay.

    Even so...

    The beast survived.

    Yashan...

    Did not.

    Watching the final scene...

    Su Hao couldn't help smiling faintly.

    "Yashan..."

    "You truly lived up to your ideals."

    Next came Heli's records.

    After Yashan's death...

    The Zhu Huo people continued fighting the beast for another hundred years.

    Eventually...

    As time eroded its vitality...

    The beast finally died beneath the hands of Heli's grandson.

    The entire world celebrated.

    By then...

    The Zhu Huo civilization had already achieved complete unification.

    Mutant civilization flourished as never before.

    The only regret...

    Was that the World Eye lineage had broken during Heli's fifth generation.

    The inheritance of the Small Black Room ended there.

    Su Hao could no longer observe the later history of that world.

    Still...

    He had no regrets.

    He had already extracted everything worth learning from that civilization.

    Just then...

    A thought suddenly crossed his mind.

    Immediately, he opened the Small Black Room containing Yashan's consciousness.

    After taking a look...

    Su Hao froze.

    The Small Black Room had functioned perfectly.

    There had been no errors.

    The reason for his surprise was something else entirely.

    Yashan...

    Had reincarnated into this world as well.

    And according to Little Light's positioning...

    He was lying...

    On the bed beside Su Hao.

    "..."

    At almost the same moment, the little boy on the neighboring bed suddenly opened his eyes.

    After staring blankly for several seconds...

    He abruptly jumped upright.

    "The God is dead yet?"

    "Meng Chuan!"

    "Meng Chuan!"

    "If you're alive, answer me!"

    Su Hao instantly sat upright.

    Unable to bear it any longer, he pointed at the excited little boy and whispered angrily,

    "Yashan!"

    "Lower your voice!"

    "Can't you see everyone else is still asleep?"
