Chapter 54 Further Advancement of Genes, the Successive Fall of New Kings
Seven months later, the Qingying Empire.
Cavendish Galaxy, Eclipse 032.
"Number 1, are you sure the Dark Night Forum's item storage location is really chosen in a place like this?"
"Although the person who submitted the mission had something come up, and I agreed to let him store it, leaving the items on the Dark Eclipse Star halfway through the journey is just too outrageous..."
Perseus rose from his seat and looked through the exterior simulation at the planet in front of him, which resembled a black hole that swallowed up light, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Pluto is an extremely dangerous planet.
Due to their unique formation, these planets have extremely disordered cosmic energies inside, which not only actively devour light but also erode the body.
The most crucial point is that it's difficult to guarantee that items won't be damaged while staying here.
"Master, the Dark Eclipse Star poses no threat to the Realm Lord."
"Since the Dark Night Forum dares to set up its access point here, it must have special methods to ensure the items remain intact."
"I know that the power of the world can resist the power of the Nether Eclipse. Even with mental power, it is impossible to see anyone's appearance in the special environment of the Nether Eclipse Star... Such a place can protect the customer's information to the greatest extent, but no matter how safe the environment is, losing sight is always a bit unpleasant."
As he spoke, Perseus stepped out of the spaceship.
"boom--"
Dark red Chaotic Flames spread across his body, forming a strange 'film'. The surrounding black mist quickly dispersed as soon as it approached, and a hissing sound could be heard in his ears.
A short while later, Perseus swiftly passed through the clouds, seemingly weightless, and landed lightly on the undulating mountains below.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind came from the left.
A figure, not clearly visible, with a robust build like an iron tower, landed 100 meters away from him, holding a stone-sealed iron box in its hand.
"The customer requests the corresponding pickup code."
Perseus turned his head curiously, and the pale golden psychic energy gathered in his dreamlike utopia quickly reached out, like an open fishing net, heading towards the person.
But what happened the very next moment after he made his move?
"Bang!!!"
As if striking a rock, Perseus's wisp of mental energy quickly dissipated, and the tall figure spoke again, repeating the previous question once more.
"Sir, if you are not prepared to properly collect your package, I will take necessary countermeasures in response to your actions just now..."
"Pickup code: Darkness will bring eternal slumber, ya7645-87253."
The three languages were each randomly selected from billions of races in the universe. Because they could be replaced at any time, the corresponding secret codes had almost no risk of being exposed.
Finally, a box floated over.
Perseus reached into the chest, took the World Ring from inside, and turned to leave.
But just as he took off, a burst of mental energy suddenly shot out, like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the opponent's disguise.
"Sir, what are you doing!"
Feeling the gaze fixed on his face, the towering figure couldn't help but change his expression.
Thinking of the environment of the planet Phantom, he felt a little relieved. After flying for a while, he quickly landed and returned to his residence on the other side of the planet in silence.
Perseus, however, returned to the spaceship cabin with a look of surprise on his face.
"A puppet? A bionic mechanical modification?"
He naturally couldn't see what the other person looked like.
However, the ideal land in dreams is very special. The spiritual power condensed and transformed through this secret method is naturally more condensed than ordinary spiritual power.
So even in the environment of the planet Pluto, Perseus could still barely make out the outline hidden under the mask. It was a rigid, mechanical face, without a trace of human life. Instead, it looked more like a mechanical creation, carrying the coldness unique to technological means.
"A mechanical puppet... with strength comparable to a world lord..."
Perseus kept his doubts to himself. The owner of this Dark Night Forum was very likely an immortal god. With his current strength, he was not qualified to arbitrarily investigate an existence of that level.
"Forget it, let's focus on optimizing the genes first!"
……
Putting the earlier incident of receiving the goods behind him, Perseus quickly completed the verification of the biological materials.
After checking again and confirming that the quantity and quality met the standards, he logged into the Dark Night Forum, paid the balance without hesitation, and even gave the world lord who accepted the order a five-star review.
What follows is a series of configuration processes.
Having had the experience before, the newly created card also reached the level of two-star level 10.
The crimson-gold card was significantly better than before, judging by its color alone. After absorbing the corresponding bloodline, Perseus's gene strength jumped from 120 times to 180 times.
"This is the current bloodline puzzle."
Perseus looked at the newly extracted "Red Cube" from the bloodline. The single biological element puzzle was now exuding an aura of perfection. If he wanted to add more, it seemed that he could only assemble the outer shell on the original puzzle pieces, just like before, forming a situation where layer upon layer, nested with each other.
"Number 1, post a new quest on the Dark Night Forum. It requires World Lord-level biological materials. This is a long-term quest. You can settle the payment with me once every 100 types of materials."
"Is Master planning to break through to a higher level?"
"If your genes have reached their limit, there's not much use in staying at the Domain Lord stage. Besides, if you want to improve your understanding of the laws, a Realm Lord can do it much faster than a Domain Lord."
Therefore, there is no need for number 1 when configuring energy treasures.
With the "Origin" system, Perseus quickly configured enough resources for his breakthrough.
As the dark red pill, swirling with flame-like patterns, entered his stomach, a restless heat instantly swept over him, like an erupting volcano, causing every cell in his body to burn wildly.
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! Boom...
At this moment, Perseus was completely transformed into a man of fire.
Inside his body, the previously floating pronucleus took root completely, forming a blooming lotus flower, from the root to the leaves, and then to 36 exquisite and vibrant petals.
An extremely hot world was conceived and born within the flower.
The golden-red magma churned, and countless bubbles rose slowly from it, but they were not just bubbles; they were worlds within worlds.
Of course, the most important thing is the gift from the universe.
The moment the world took shape, the void connecting the upper layer to the origin of the universe trembled violently, and endless energy surged in rapidly, pushing the inner world to expand wildly outward while transforming into a large number of cosmic crystals. At the very center of the world, at the bottom of a deep abyss, a strange lotus lamp condensed.
The final diameter of the Cretaceous interior world was 20 billion kilometers.
As he opened his eyes, he instinctively conjured an extremely powerful phantom of the world.
On a white sofa opposite, Number 1, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly stepped forward and said to Perseus somewhat anxiously.
"Master, something's happened!"
Perseus looked at him with some confusion.
"Has my identity been exposed?"
Upon hearing this, Number 1 immediately shook his head. "No."
"It's the Ancient Empire!"
"Half a month ago, the First Prince Xueying Canggu was assassinated. Information about the murderer pointed to Bodo Canggu, but before Tuoer could send a message to question him, Bodo Canggu also died..."
