Alien Dust

Chapter 534 Waiting for the Storm

"Brother Hen!"

"My brother Dihen!!"

"I finally found you!"

From a distance, across a thorn bush, he saw Wang Rui's slightly silly figure running towards him. Behind him were three rock-iron beast-hounds, and one of the stronger beasts was carrying a woman.

Wu Hen looked at Wang Rui's body and found that they had assimilated and there was not much difference in appearance.

The woman sitting on the mechanical beast looked older and only had a four or five percent resemblance to Gao Yuyan in appearance.

"Why are you carrying a young woman here?" Wu Hen asked.

"What young woman? That's Gao Yuyan. She didn't find a suitable habitat, and we spent a long time trying to find the secret code..." Wang Rui said.

Wu Hen glanced at Gao Yuyan, but didn't say much.

"I'm really impressed. The place we woke up from is too barren, without any Yuanyou aura. Fortunately, I dug up some usable iron ore and made a few mechanical dogs, giving us some combat power." Wang Rui said.

"Where exactly is this place?" Gao Yuyan asked.

"The border of the Cangchu Divine Realm. It is said that if you pass through that land of ashes, you can reach a wider and more brilliant Divine Realm. But no one can tell what is outside. Maybe it's all just maps." Wu Hen explained.

"Alas, we haven't gained anything. We've been running around for so long in vain. Where should we go next?" Wang Rui asked.

"I did get a Soul Dwelling Tree seed. These seeds are very valuable. We can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and plant the Soul Dwelling Tree seed. It will also be convenient for our young awakened ones." Gao Yuyan said.

"Just crawl back step by step. Just treat it as an extradition mission." Wu Hen said.

It can be seen that Wang Rui and Gao Yuyan both encountered some troubles when they woke up, and they expended a lot of effort to break the predicament. As for the recovery of strength, Wang Rui was able to use local materials to make advanced mechanical beasts and borrow the power of the twelve zodiac beasts. Before in the Nightmare Kingdom, Wang Rui had demonstrated excellent individual combat capabilities.

As for Gao Yuyan, she is a tactile awakener and has strong control over her body. If the lost person happens to be a strong life when awakened, she can also exert her combat advantages, but some of her power comes from the fighting clothes, and the fighting clothes cannot follow the awakening mode.

"Then do you know the direction?" Gao Yuyan asked.

"I know. Just follow me."

……

After the three of them got together, they began the journey of extradition.

It didn't take Wu Hen much time to fly here directly with Huangchen's life, but it would take at least a month to remotely control the son of the God of Fire to move back slowly.

Along the way, Wu Hen did not deliberately test Gao Yuyan, pretending that he did not know anything about Gao Huan.

However, Wang Rui, the chatterbox, was very curious about Gao Yuyan's recent success among the gods, and wanted to know what adventures she had in the alien wasteland.

Gao Yuyan also talked about her experience, that she found a Yuanyou that was very suitable for her in an extremely mysterious ancient mountain. This Yuanyou helped her break the shackles of human genes and allowed her to transform into a super human.

"There are shackles in our human genes. Who engraved these genetic shackles into us?" Wang Rui asked.

Gao Yuyan shook her head. She did not think deeply about this question. "In theory, all living things have genetic shackles. For example, if we humans grow normally, our height will basically not exceed two meters. Even if there are people who are over two meters tall, they are rare among humans. According to the theory of evolution, this height and body shape is the most suitable for us to survive on Earth. It is enough to fight against most of the beasts we will face, but it will not consume too much calories due to being too large, and we will be too tired to find food and have no time to think about progress."

"But now that the Alien Wasteland has appeared, it shows that our genes are indeed customized. They are only suitable for the environment inside our homeland that has not yet fallen, but not for the entire Alien Wasteland. Most species here can grow into ferocious monsters like Godzilla in the movies through normal eating. Even if we use the power of technology, it will be extremely difficult to deal with them. There are an astonishing number of such giants in the wasteland, and their species are numerous. If we don't break our genetic shackles and evolve into superhumans, it will be impossible for us to defeat them."

As Gao Yuyan gained a deeper understanding of the Alien Desert, she apparently had her own understanding.

"In fact, spiritual awakening is a sign of breaking the shackles of our human genes. It starts with a clear understanding of the more bizarre world outside, and then the continuous evolution of the body. The soul is our essence and there is also the concept of ascension." Wu Hen said.

"Could it be that this is the genetic shackles that the goddess Nuwa has set for us?" Wang Rui proposed this idea.

Wu Hen had considered this before.

They are Nuwa’s people, so the genetic shackles are also tailor-made for them by Nuwa, and Nuwa’s laws are also clearly suppressing the upper limit of the power of the inner world of the gods...

But the moment he saw the other Nuwa gods, Wu Hen overturned this idea.

Where did the goddess Nuwa come from?
Who created Nuwa? "In fact, we don't need to worry about who gave us the genetic shackles, but we should consider how to break them. Perhaps everything is natural evolution. When we only need to stay on Earth, our genes have been optimized to the best, allowing us to face the current environment with the most suitable body shape, strength, speed, and thinking. When we fall into the alien dimension, our entire race is also making rapid adjustments, breaking through the original genetic limit and reaching a higher form." Wu Hen said.

"That makes sense. Man can conquer nature and change his destiny. No matter it is the ascension of the body, soul, machine, or gene... In short, it is good to be able to ascend into a more powerful cosmic life." Wang Rui nodded.

"Unfortunately, the way I broke the genetic shackles was accidental, and I don't know how to pass it on to our compatriots," said Gao Yuyan.

"It doesn't matter. After you die, donate your body to our scholars for research. They will conduct a comprehensive dissection on you, and perhaps we can find a way to help you break the genetic shackles." Wu Hen said with a smile.

Gao Yuyan's face turned pale after hearing this. She stared at Wu Hen and said unhappily, "Then you should be dissected first. You are the first life to reach the super tenth level, and we all know that this is your least noteworthy ability."

"I just want to ask, will life span be extended after this gene is broken?" Wang Rui asked.

"It should help with longevity... After all, the highest genetic lifespan of humans is over 150 years. It is a fact that we are not prone to aging due to genetic breakthroughs," said Gao Yuyan.

"Wow, you have become the real-life Black Widow." Wang Rui said excitedly.

Wu Hen smiled and said, "She is now a female version of Superman."

"So what if she's a female version of Superman? She's covered in dust and dirt now. I feel like my ability to deal with these weird alien predators is not as good as Wang Rui's." Gao Yuyan said.

She is in a very poor state now, and even needs a rock-iron beast dog to carry her when traveling. If she hadn't met Wang Rui, she wouldn't know how long it would take her to succeed in the extradition, or how long it would take her to find a Yuanyou.

"I'm not as normal as you think. You can't compare yourself with me in everything." Wang Rui also held his head high.

Gao Yuyan is very strong in the field of genetic breakthroughs, but he is also unique in the field of mechanical beasts. He participated in the design of the twelve zodiac beasts and is a man qualified to control the twelve zodiac beasts!

"Strange, we have walked out of the ash zone, why does it still feel very hot around us?" Gao Yuyan changed the subject.

"Being close to Wu Hen is like being close to a stove. It's as if his body is emitting high-powered heat," said Wang Rui.

"My inhabitant is the son of the God of Fire. He will automatically absorb the fire spiritual factors within a thousand miles radius." Wu Hen explained simply.

Even now, Wu Hen's little clone is practicing martial arts madly, and his evolution speed is so fast that even Wu Hen is ashamed.

Thinking back to when he was figuring out how to evolve step by step, it took him an unknown amount of time to evolve from a first-order life form to a super-tenth-order life form with great difficulty...

But this little clone of his, with the blessing of his innate spiritual bond realm, is a soul-devouring monster. His frail body has been forged into a Fire Saint. With a casual rub of his hands, he can create a huge meteorite of heavenly fire, and his combat power is amazing.

I feel that even if the Black Navigator comes to kill me, this body of mine can hold off the opponent for a while.

“No, you are Nuwa’s biological son, aren’t you? Why are the conditions for your awakening so good? Once your gifted body is extradited back to Shenduan, you can directly inherit this talent, which is equivalent to gaining an additional magical power with great growth potential.” Wang Rui has begun to feel jealous.

"You can't compare yourself with me in everything." Wu Hen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Rui became even more frustrated!

"The environment here is pretty good, and there aren't too many ferocious alien beasts. Why don't we bury this Soul-Dwelling Tree seed here?" Gao Yuyan suggested.

"Of course, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade." Wu Hen nodded. On the surface, he remained calm, but he was already thinking deeply about Gao Yuyan's action.

The Soul Resting Tree can release coordinate signals.

If Gao Yuyan is an outsider, or a pawn of Gao Huan, then her behavior is equivalent to announcing her location in the other dimension to the black navigators, so that the navigators can gather quickly.

"The Soul Tree is very fragile when it is a seedling. We have to guard it here for a while." Wang Rui said.

"The seeds need a lot of soil spiritual energy to germinate. At the same time, the germination process will release a special smell similar to the spiritual roots of fairy grass, which can easily attract predators from the surrounding areas. We have to guard the Soul Roost here until it passes the germination period when there are no means of hiding." Gao Yuyan said.

"The Soul Resting Tree can also be used as a signal base station. Our people can wake up the nearby area if there are lost people nearby." Wu Hen added.

It's time to come.

Wu Hen kept smiling and planned to wait quietly for the storm to come in this scenic place.
