Of course, Lin Yuan is not to blame for any of this, after all, it was Morgan's own choice, whether for himself or for his son.
At this moment, Charles stood quietly in the rainy night, staring silently at the center of the pool, at the location of the soul storage jar.
The scene from that time flashed through my mind.
The moment his life essence was extracted, his father looked at him one last time with lingering reluctance as he left...
It was as if they were really still alive.
However, he did indeed die alone.
When I lifted him from the wheelchair, his body felt surprisingly light, and his aged face had a faint bluish-purple tinge.
Neither he nor Jingnan had the chance to see him one last time before he passed away.
Will I be sad? Will I be in a lot of pain? Will I blame myself?
Charles had so much to say and so many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to begin, and it was too late.
If there hadn't been an apocalypse, perhaps everything would have been different.
He subconsciously thought of Lin Yuan and Bai Yuekui.
..........
In a cluster of communal wooden sheds.
Many people find it difficult to sleep on this hard wooden board and can't help but toss and turn.
Everyone believed that Lin Yuan, who had found the truth, could lead them to a better life.
Furthermore, the shock of Morgan's death caused them to temporarily overlook this point.
"Oh, I didn't expect Lord Morgan to die like this."
In a communal wooden shed, someone remarked something.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Hmph, I think it's good that he died."
Someone suddenly chimed in.
"You're not allowed to talk about Lord Morgan like that!" A commoner sat up and shouted angrily.
The person retorted without backing down.
"Why can't we say it? He deserved to die! If you ask me, he died too easily! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been eating insect cakes for half our lives!"
The argument started, and the atmosphere instantly became heated.
"That's right! Morgan is damned! It was he who proposed those damned Three Laws, preventing me and my lover from seeing each other!"
"Waaaaah, because of him I've lost my husband forever!"
“He tore me and my child apart! I know who my child is; he looks almost exactly like he did when he was little! I recognized him at a glance, but now he refuses to acknowledge me!”
"I still stand by what I said 21 years ago: only animals are given the authority to decide when to reproduce! Only pets are arranged to be bred!"
Many citizens of the Beacon City applauded the death of Lord Morgan. Most of them were Dust People born before the promulgation of the Three Laws. They had long hated him to the bone, but dared not say it before.
There are also many voices advocating for its maintenance.
"If it weren't for Lord Morgan taking you in, and if it weren't for the Three Laws, you wouldn't even be able to eat insect cakes!"
"Blame it on your inherently inferior genes!"
"Have you all forgotten the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow?!"
"You old bastard! You still dare to call me your son? I think you haven't had enough of being beaten!"
"A commoner is a commoner; once a commoner, always a commoner!"
Inside the outer guard post, Jingnan suddenly woke up from the table, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke into the radio to reassure the public.
On the other side, Qianli, who was responsible for keeping watch for the second half of the night, crossed his arms and listened to the people's arguments with some excitement.
Wow, I didn't expect there to be a show to watch!
Sui Xing glanced at him speechlessly: "Alright, if we don't do something about it, they're going to start fighting!"
"Hey, let them fight. So what if they really start fighting?"
Po Kong smiled and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, we can still recover life essence after killing it."
People were used to his gossipy nature and didn't take it seriously.
These are all people Lin Yuan painstakingly brought from the lighthouse. If they cause a major disaster because he can't manage them properly, he'll be too ashamed to face that kid.
The Awakened Amur roared, "Shut up! If you don't want to be thrown out, keep quiet!"
..........
the next morning.
After a night of rain, the storm finally stopped. The sky gradually cleared, the clouds dispersed, and sunlight streamed down like golden sand through the gaps in the clouds.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Yuan regained his energy and all his previous fatigue vanished.
I quietly opened the window and looked at the scenery outside, and suddenly felt a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Indeed, people are not machines; they can't just think about leveling up and fighting monsters all the time. They also need to enjoy the pleasures of life.
I was thinking about suggestive things a lot before, probably because I was under too much pressure.
"Almost a day has passed, it's time to continue strengthening."
"If it's just a minor enhancement, there shouldn't be any problems."
Lin Yuan opened the system panel.
[Life Essence]: 13600 points
[Potential Evolution]: Eyes (Kaleidoscope Sharingan), Brain (Kinetic Enhancement Level II), Bone Marrow (Regenerative Blood Level III), Heart (Heart of the Tree World Level IV), Chakra (Transcribing Energy Level II)
[Energy Points]: 2536 points (can be activated)
Once the Heart of the Tree Realm reaches level four, it can unleash new source potential.
With a thought, Lin Yuan consumed 100 energy points and chose to activate.
Only 100 energy points is still within an acceptable range.
He was full of confidence at that moment, and hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.
However, unexpectedly...
"It hurts!"
A terrifying pain shot through Lin Yuan, and his eyes widened immediately, cold sweat pouring down his face.
What happened? This time, the most painful spot...
It's actually Kobayashi Yukichi?!
Fortunately, in just a moment, Xiao Linyuan's pain exceeded the threshold and was automatically blocked.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Thank goodness for this mechanism, otherwise it would have really hurt terribly.
I never expected that my previous guess would come true. I wonder what potential will be activated this time, and what it should be called.
Could it really be something incredibly awesome?
Fifteen minutes later, the enhancement ended, and a system notification popped up.
【Activation succeeded! 】
[Currently Activated: Reproductive Organ (Superior Breeding)]
Chapter 126 Extraordinary Descendants & Dual Cultivation, Infrastructure Development
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling the abilities and changes brought about by the activation.
After activating the extraordinary breeding, one can vaguely feel a golden energy seed in the lower abdomen, which is very similar to the life essence.
Focusing his attention on it, a sudden inspiration struck Lin Yuan, and he understood how to use the seeds.
Injecting this extraordinary seed during the breeding process can produce a healthy fetus without the need for additional life essence, with a certain probability of being born with some kind of potential.
At the current level, only one extraordinary seed can be conceived per month, and a maximum of ten can be stored.
More than ten seeds will no longer produce extraordinary seeds.
In addition, the Seed of the Extraordinary can also be used in other areas.
If the breeding process does not intend to produce offspring, injecting this extraordinary seed will also have many special effects on the other party, and Lin Yuan can also receive some feedback.
For example, it can subtly enhance physical strength, improve overall health, extend lifespan, and even activate potential...
However, it must be injected into the other person's reproductive organs to be effective.
Furthermore, after giving birth to offspring, as the children grow, the offspring themselves can also gain an increase in lifespan and strength, up to the upper limit that extraordinary breeding can achieve.
This upper limit will increase as the level increases.
"Oh no! I've... become a furnace?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback, never expecting it to possess such an ability.
However, upon closer examination, this cannot be entirely called a furnace.
After all, it's good for oneself too.
Whether or not one intends to reproduce, using the extraordinary seed can nourish oneself and enhance the other party; with good luck, one can even gain potential.
In this case, it might be more appropriate to call it dual cultivation, since it benefits both parties.
Moreover, the fetus does not need to worry about the lack of life essence, as the seed will automatically generate life essence during the ten months of pregnancy.
The total amount of life-giving material for humankind is currently finite.
That's why we study life iteration systems, injecting life essence into fertilized eggs to artificially create reincarnation.
With each missing element of life essence, humanity's chances of winning decrease.
Now, extraordinary breeding can produce the source of life.
In a sense, this is a good thing that can increase the population ceiling.
The more offspring a human being has, the greater their chances of survival.
However, it only increases the upper limit.
The idea of reviving humanity single-handedly is absurd and simply impossible.
After all, there is only one extraordinary seed every thirty days.
No, even one a day or even one per second won't work!
The thought of that scene sent chills down Lin Yuan's spine; he had no desire to be a breeding machine.
"No matter what, let's upgrade this potential first."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then consumed 200 energy points to upgrade his extraordinary breeding.
This upgrade will inevitably double the pain, but it makes no difference to Lin Yuan.
Anyway, it had already exceeded the threshold, and this time it didn't even have time to feel the pain before it lost the local pain sensation.
After half an hour.
[Evolution successful! Extraordinary breeding has evolved to Level II!]
[Life Essence]: 13900 points
[Potential Evolution]: Eyes (Kaleidoscope Sharingan), Brain (Kinetic Enhancement Level II), Bone Marrow (Regenerative Blood Level III), Heart (Heart of the Tree World Level IV), Chakra (Transcribing Energy Level II), Reproductive Organs (Transcendent Breeding Level II)
[Source Energy Points]: 2236 points
After advancing to level two, the number of extraordinary seeds in his body increased from one to two, and he could produce two more each month.
The storage limit has also been increased from ten to twenty.
When applied to reproductive objects, it increases the probability of activating potential, increases the probability that offspring are born with potential, and also increases the upper limit that can be achieved by feeding back to the original entity.
