Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

"When their descendants enter Tier Three and their Spiritual Energy is sufficient to form a Mental Realm, they can undergo the Realm Trial."

"And if the trial fails, the Realm Energy, having already manifested in reality and using the body as a vessel, will continuously release its radiative contamination. It will twist all Low-Tier Life in the vicinity, sparing neither their biological genes nor their consciousness and spirit."

At this, Ling Yi sighed softly.

The Red-Armored Beetle is a fusion of the Zerg Race and the Red Race. However, the Red Race’s Tier Four Red King managed to escape during the final battle with the Zerg Race and has remained hidden to this day.

It has become a grave threat to the Zerg Race.

"This is also why Lin Feng stopped you from continuing your research on the Red-Armored Beetle’s genes."

"Because the Red-Armored Beetle... is not pure-blooded Zerg..."

Ling Shuyan, who was struggling to process all this information, reacted quickly after hearing this and immediately asked in return:

"You mean the Red-Armored Beetle is also fused with the genes of another race’s civilization, and that civilization is a Cosmic Race with Tier Four Life..."

"So if we rashly conduct research and trigger the Mental Realm’s contamination, it will attract this Tier Four Being."

"Which would be yet another disaster for the humans of Blue Star!?"

Thinking of this, Ling Shuyan’s super-brain, evolved from her Brain Domain Enhancement, directly deduced the truth:

"In that case, does the other half of the Red-Armored Beetle’s genes also come from a planetary civilization the Zerg Race once invaded?"

"And would the Samurai Hunter Zergs, created from fusing with humans, also become beings like the Red-Armored Beetle, to be recorded in the Zerg Race’s biological gene reserve?"

SNAP!

Ling Yi snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

"As expected of an Awakener with brain evolution. You really do think faster than ordinary people."

However, Ling Shuyan’s expression remained grave. She felt no trace of joy after learning the whole truth.

She looked at Ling Yi and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind:

"Then... how do you know all this?"

Ling Yi shrugged, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Ling Shuyan felt her body begin to tremble uncontrollably.

The nerves and muscles all over her body twitched and spasmed.

Ling Yi’s voice drifted to her ears:

"As you can see, I have passed the Realm Trial, mastered the Zerg Race Mother Empress’s Spiritual Realm, and learned a great deal of the Zerg Race’s secret information."

"That includes control over biological bodies."

As the golden light in Ling Yi’s eyes faded, the terrifying, heart-pounding sensation coursing through Ling Shuyan’s body vanished in an instant.

Ling Yi, who was at Tier Two Peak with a Spiritual Attribute of over one thousand, only needed a single glance to deal with Ling Shuyan, who was at Tier One Late Stage Perfection.

After personally experiencing this invisible, mysterious power, Ling Shuyan did her best to suppress her ragged breathing. She finally understood why, back in the operating room, he had been able to precisely point out every mistake made during the procedure.

She also understood why Lin Feng had wanted her by his side, constantly monitoring the surgery’s progress.

It was all to prevent any accidents from happening.

Just then, Lin Feng added:

"My subordinate, Shen Jie—the original subject you collected genes from—was promoted to Tier Two Peak after you left. He also initiated the Realm Trial."

"Now that he has mastered Realm Power, he can not only ignore the Mother Empress’s Spiritual Control, but he even possesses the strength to fight her."

Ling Shuyan’s hands trembled as she gripped her knees.

"So from the very beginning, you wanted to trade Tier Two Zerg Eggs for nuclear bombs because you really do have a chance to kill a High-tier Mother Empress..."

Lin Feng nodded.

"What else? Did you think I wanted to be a sucker?"

"Alright, we’re about done eating. Let’s go."

After speaking, he patted the dazed Liu Yueqi on the shoulder and stood up to leave.

When he reached Ling Shuyan’s side and saw the slightly resentful look on her face, Lin Feng spoke in a low voice:

"After this deal is complete, I’ll give you three Tier Two Zerg Eggs to continue your research on Genetic Warriors, as well as the Zerg’s Samurai Hunter Zergs, Pulse War Scorpions, and so on."

"Of course, you can also kill them to advance to Tier Two. That way, if any mishaps occur during future experiments, you’ll be able to suppress and handle them cleanly."

"Do a good job. After the final battle in Wu City is over, there will be a lot more research I’ll need you to do!"

With that, he went to catch up with the two women.

That evening, at Han Yuxin’s suggestion, the group gathered at the temporary base in Jin City for a celebratory dinner, marking the successful completion of the modification surgery.

Lin Feng’s eyes met Han Yuxin’s, who had changed into a form-fitting evening gown.

The woman slowly walked toward him.

She took Lin Feng’s left arm, and they walked up to the hotel’s top floor.
