As everyone watched the giant werewolf go berserk, right before their eyes, the three alien monsters from sci-fi blockbusters were torn apart and instantly killed, leaving them all dumbfounded.
Li Ling nodded in satisfaction. After the inhumane treatment he had inflicted on them in the God Space, "Little Fatty" was already on the verge of unlocking his genetic lock. Now, facing a life-or-death crisis, he had indeed unlocked his genetic lock.
Indeed, human potential is limitless...
After killing the three aliens, the giant werewolf returned to human form and transformed back into "Little Fatty".
If Li Ling hadn't crafted him a changeable outfit in the God Space, he would be showing off his muscular physique, which was practically bordering on being censored.
"Big brother..."
Zhang Li looked at Li Ling, about to take credit, when suddenly his whole body began to convulse violently.
"Ahhhh!!"
The "fatty" fell to the ground, screaming in pain. A numbing, painful sensation began to spread from his internal organs, as if countless tiny insects were crawling inside them.
Then, this pain penetrated deep into his bones and spread to his skin with his blood. His entire body was then wracked with this pain, worse than death.
Gradually, Zhang Li's vision went completely white, and he felt as if he was about to die, curling his entire body into a ball.
Upon seeing the "little fat boy's" reaction, everyone recalled the conversation between Chu Xuan and Li Ling—
"Imagine for yourselves: after monkeys pushed themselves to this limit, they became humans. So, what would a human become if they pushed themselves to this limit?"
"Unlocking the genetic code requires a substance similar to adrenaline, which can only be produced by the human body and is highly toxic!"
The "fatty" lying on the ground was convulsing more and more violently, and blood kept gushing from his mouth and nose. It was a gruesome sight, and he looked like he was about to die...
Li Ling frowned, squatted down next to the "little fat boy," and with a wave of his hand, a surge of power from the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was channeled into the "little fat boy's" body, relieving his pain.
As his magic power was restored, after a while, "Little Fatty's" tension gradually returned to normal.
Li Ling nodded in satisfaction, patted him with a smile, and encouraged him, "You'll get used to it after a while if you unlock your gene lock more often!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless. How could they possibly get used to something so painful?
Looking at Li Ling's warm smile, "Little Fatty" saw it as the smile of a vicious wolf, which sent chills down his spine. It reminded him of the painful training he had undergone in the God Space, when Li Ling wore the same smile.
At this moment, Chu Xuan quickly came to Li Ling's side, his expression somewhat excited, and asked, "What you just channeled into his body, was it internal energy or magic power?"
"Magic power." Li Ling looked at Chu Xuan. Why was this clueless guy so excited?
"Magic power! It really is magic power!" Chu Xuan was very excited, repeating it over and over, then looked at Li Ling with a fanatical expression: "Is it cultivation? It really is cultivation!"
"Did you know that many artifacts that cannot be explained by modern technology have been unearthed both at home and abroad? They no longer have energy sources, and they cannot be started even with our electricity or other energy sources?"
Based on our analysis of the materials used to manufacture these artifacts, we can infer that there was once a highly advanced civilization in ancient times, but the era of this civilization is extremely peculiar.
These artifacts, dating from tens of thousands of years ago to just over a thousand years ago, are scattered throughout the country. The most recent one was made approximately a thousand years ago. Is it possible that such a highly advanced civilization was hidden within our society without our complete awareness?
Therefore, we researchers had a disagreement…
"stop!"
Seeing Chu Xuan's excited, fanatical, and incessant chatter, Li Ling waved his hand helplessly, stopping the research fanatic from continuing, and said calmly, "Let's go to the merchant ship's control room first. We'll talk about it later!"
Chu Xuan was slightly taken aback, and said incredulously, "Cultivation! Do you know what this means? It means that the direction of human progress will not be limited to science and technology..."
As they were talking, they saw Li Ling walking in one direction of the passageway.
Everyone looked at Chu Xuan, whose expression was one of fanaticism, and felt a chill run down their spines. They quickly followed Captain Li's footsteps.
Watching the crowd quickly disappear into the distance, Chu Xuan finally stopped talking and murmured, "Mortals who have no common language..."
As he spoke, he followed, muttering to himself, "You wouldn't understand no matter how much I explain. Once we find the secret of cultivation, this will be the greatest evolutionary path for humanity since the genetic lock..."
...
This time, the group didn't encounter any more aliens and gradually found the merchant ship's control room. It was thanks to Chu Xuan, who was following at the back, guiding them, that they easily found their way there.
He was clearly familiar with the structure of the space merchant ship and introduced it to everyone: "This is the control room of the entire space merchant ship. Although it looks complicated, the control system is actually very similar to the control system of a rocket launch base, and you can easily master the operation."
He then explained the functions of the buttons on the control platform to everyone, but few of them could understand.
Everyone thought to themselves, "Such a complicated thing, and you say it's so easy to master? After Captain Li, this guy surnamed Chu is another one like him!"
Li Ling understood it. He had recently studied many technological things, and with his photographic memory and his high-level spiritual cultivation, he learned these technological knowledge very quickly.
He instructed Chu Xuan, "Set a route to Earth in this time and space."
"What?"
Everyone except Chu Xuan was stunned. What was Captain Li up to now? The alien problem on the space merchant ship hadn't been solved yet, and now they were going to Earth in this timeline?
Chu Xuan was slightly taken aback and asked, "Are you going to bring the aliens to Earth in this time and space, so that Earth can use its army to fight against the aliens?"
That's a good idea. As long as we activate the isolation system on the merchant ship to isolate the aliens, we can survive safely and return to Earth in this timeline.
"However, another situation may occur at that time, that is, the humans in this time and space will be wiped out by the aliens, and we will face millions of endless aliens!"
In that case, our mission would be virtually impossible to complete... and how long we'd survive would also be a question.
Countless aliens... The mere thought of that scene sent chills down everyone's spine.
Li Ling nodded noncommittally, offering no further explanation, and simply said, "Execute my orders."
