Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

The crowd observed carefully and could tell whether Yan's eyelids twitched because of a shock or because of a natural movement.

Immediately, Tan Yaozu shouted:
"Holy crap, she moved! It wasn't Li Yi who told her to move; she moved on her own!"

Xiao Pingchuan nodded slightly: "It did move by itself."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi remained silent.

What do you mean by "she moved by herself"?

They keep talking nonsense next to me, it's too disruptive.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yi simply said:
"From the subtle feedback in Yan's soul and body, I have seen a glimmer of possibility that she is recovering. However, what happened just now should just be a natural reaction of her nerves. It is not time for her to fully recover yet. Why don't you all go and attend to your own matters?"

Busy with their own things?
Xiao Pingchuan appears indifferent on the surface, but he actually has a lot on his mind.

Among the older generation of supreme experts, Xiao Pingchuan, who is second only to Zhang Shengfeng in age, is not as shrewd as the others.

He immediately realized that he might have said something inappropriate and felt embarrassed.

Tan Yaozu winked and chuckled.

Lin Jianlong patted Tan Yaozu, then pinched him hard with his fingers, causing Tan Yaozu's mouth to twitch.

"In that case, let's leave this to Li Yi. Time is of the essence. The three of us should go next door and rehearse the subsequent combined attack formation."

The other two, of course, had no other opinions at this moment.

Moreover, although he wanted to continue watching Li Yi's actions and learn a bit of the essence of the body-tempering method.

But it's obvious that subtle techniques can't be grasped just by watching.

It's better to focus on training and doing what you can do.

The three then left the scene.

Li Yi became even more focused.

The changes in the flame were subtle and slow, but they had reached a critical point.

The critical point at this stage is when Flame can receive normal physical feedback and continue to counterattack, or in other words, when the resurrection process accelerates.

Therefore, from his current 10-nanometer microscopic perspective, he can see a great deal of detail in the changes.

Although it is slow, it is richer in content, with every step of the detailed changes clearly visible.

Li Yi not only consumed less mental energy overall, but also had some mental focus to both decipher Yan's special brainwaves and deduce the body-tempering method that belonged to the soul-type physique.

In the blink of an eye, another two hours had passed.

At this moment, Li Yi had to stop because his explosive technique had overexerted his stamina.

Then, using the power equipment provided in the training ground, they directly absorbed electricity through the lightning forging method to restore their bodies' energy reserves.

As his lightning forging technique became more and more profound and perfect, his efficiency in replenishing his energy consumption using electricity was now much higher than that of drinking nutrient solutions.

However, he did not give up on this recovery channel. While absorbing electricity to recover, he also used his authority to summon an AI to provide nutrient solution.

During the rest period, one can slowly deduce the details of those transformations.

With his current mental capacity, he is already very efficient at deducing these details of transformation.

Before long, I created a slightly modified version and spent some time refining it for myself.

And I must say, the results were actually quite good.

Although only a very small part of the transformation details of the flame were extracted, Li Yi clearly found that the enhancement effect of this transformation on his physical body was better than all the previous body tempering methods.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
After a series of self-training exercises, he squinted and carefully observed the changes in his body at the genetic level, and his heart was shaken.

Deep within his own genetic chain, in those parts that had not yet been irradiated and modified by the divine genes, a strange flow seemed to be taking place.

Some gaps deep within my own genetic code seem to be slowly being filled.

This process is not fast, but it is happening in real time.

These changes are illustrating something truly outrageous.

That is, Li Yi's gene chain and Yan's gene chain are highly complementary.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain how such a change could occur simply from replicating a minor detail of transformation onto oneself. "But why are my physiques so complementary to this flame?"

Li Yi was truly astonished.

Are there really such near-perfect matches in the world?
No, that's not right.

A perfect fit is probably not the right way to describe it.

"To put it more appropriately, my own genes are perfectly compatible with Flame's genes."

"Flame's brainwave fluctuations are a simplified subset of my brainwave fluctuations, and the same should apply to genes."

"Moreover, Yan's temperament gives me a sense of déjà vu."

"I think I've seen someone with a similar temperament before."

Li Yi frowned and pondered.

Strangely, although I felt I had seen someone with a similar aura to Yan, I couldn't find that person in my memory.

This is very rare for him.

Given his unique talent, it would be impossible for him not to recognize anything he has ever seen.

Even the memories he absorbs from fragments of memory are clearly distinguishable between those from parallel worlds and those from his own real experiences.

This is partly due to his talent, and partly due to the highly refined main consciousness achieved through the Seed of Emptiness technique, which allows him to clearly judge the similarities and differences between himself and the memories he has absorbed.

"Forget it, let's do it again for Yan. She's rested well now, and her physical body has become much stronger again."

Li Yi couldn't find anything similar in his memory, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He approached Yan, and an invisible divine hand gripped the back of her neck, lifting her up.

However, he stopped before he could make a move.

Because he discovered that Yan's soul seemed to have finally broken through a barrier and suddenly surged.

The surging brainwaves exploded out like a blast.

Li Yi quickly wrote it down.

At the same time, he looked up at Yan.

Suddenly, Yan opened his eyes.

A pair of ruby-red eyes, with a hint of bewilderment from just waking up, looked over.

Li Yi blinked and suddenly realized that it seemed a bit impolite of him to pinch Yan's nape with his divine hand.

"Hello, I'm Li Yi. I don't know if you've heard of me before."

Li Yi didn't release the divine hand, and simply greeted him like that.

The reason for not letting go is mainly because Yan doesn't seem to have fully mastered her physical body yet. If she were to let go rashly, Yan would most likely be unable to stand steadily.

Yan shook his head.

"I don't seem to remember anything. Who am I?"

The sound was clear and cool, with a pleasant, chiming quality, like the sound of bells and chimes.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment.

Amnesia?
Could it be that there's a flaw in the resurrection method?

Or was it her own forging that brought her some negative effects?
"Don't remember anything?"

"Ah."

Li Yi thought for a moment and asked:

"So what comes to mind now? Or does this starship, or anything else, look familiar?"

Flame tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said blankly:
"I don't feel anything, but you seem so familiar and dear to me. Could it be that you are my... father?"

"Huh?" (End of Chapter)
