Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 167 God Level
He said he was attacked by Tian Zhishang and his men, but was saved by Sister Ye who happened to be passing by.

Unfortunately, Sister Ye seemed to have something urgent to attend to, and left after rescuing them.

Could it be because of this?
As Chu Qingyang was pondering this, he heard Ye Qiumian say calmly, "Find the people first, and give me the list as soon as possible."

Without explaining the reason, his tone was firm and unwavering.

“Alright.” Chu Qingyang suppressed his doubts and replied, “I’ll have someone investigate right away. Should I call my subordinate, Yi Yan, over to your place?”

"No need, just tell me her address."

After getting the address from Chu Qingyang, Ye Qiumian immediately went out.

The figure moved through the darkness and soon arrived at the outside of a residential area.

This neighborhood is older than Ruiya Neighborhood, with peeling paint on the walls, clotheslines strung densely between the buildings, and a faint smell of disinfectant in the wind.

She closed her eyes, and her consciousness, like a fine net, silently spread out, instantly enveloping the entire neighborhood.

At this moment, a heartwarming scene in the community came into view: elderly people sitting downstairs enjoying the cool air, children chasing and playing, and a superhuman busy processing crystal cores at the window.

Each person's aura was clearly discernible, carrying the ordinary scent of everyday life.

Until his divine sense touched a window on the third floor of Unit 3.

There sat a girl in a light blue T-shirt, wiping a dagger with her head down. As she turned it over, a very faint glint of light flashed across the blade.

The girl was surrounded by a mysterious power of rules that was invisible to the naked eye.

It's her!
Yi Yan seemed to sense something and turned around warily.

When Ye Qiumian could see the girl's face clearly inside the window, her fingertips paused almost imperceptibly.

It turned out to be the girl who went out with Fang Jun to hunt for crystal cores and was surrounded by a group of people.

When she passed by, she dealt with those people on the spot. Because she was in a hurry to investigate the special energy site, she left without saying much to Fang Jun.

Who would have thought that the one chosen by Heaven this time would be her!

Ye Qiumian's divine sense lingered on Yi Yan for a moment, carefully sensing the fluctuations of her supernatural power.

Unlike ordinary level nine ability users who flaunt their abilities, Yi Yan's ability is restrained yet profound, like a volcano poised to erupt, containing astonishing explosive power within.

"Level nine..." she whispered, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips.

This progress is better than she expected; it seems that the favor of Heaven is not an exaggeration.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, if she continues to hone her skills in a stable environment, breaking through to the god-level is only a matter of time.

Having confirmed this, Ye Qiumian did not linger.

Her consciousness receded like a receding tide, and her figure silently disappeared into the twilight outside the residential area, as if she had never been there.

Back in the Ruiya residential complex, the apartment's soft lighting cast a warm glow on the floor.

Ye Qiumian picked up her phone and sent a message to Chu Qingyang: "Don't worry about Yi Yan's matter."

When the message notification popped up indicating that the message had been successfully sent, Chu Qingyang was frowning at a list of supplies in his office.

Upon seeing the message, he paused, then tapped his fingertips on the table.

Sister Ye... has she found the person?
Or is it that she's not looking for Yi Yan, who's under her command, at all?

Unable to figure it out, he simply dialed Yi Yan's number.

"Hello, Captain Chu?" Yi Yan's voice came through the phone.

"Nothing else," Chu Qingyang said bluntly, "Did anyone come looking for you just now?"

Yi Yan looked puzzled. "No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chu Qingyang replied, hanging up the call. It seems Sister Ye really did find the person, but he wondered what she wanted from Yi Yan.

He shook his head, dismissing the question from his mind.

He could never fathom Sister Ye's thoughts; he just needed to focus on doing his own job well.

In the days that followed, things were peaceful at the base.

Ye Qiumian mostly stayed in the apartment, and only occasionally went out to replenish supplies or to scan Yi Yan's condition with her divine sense from a distance.

Like an invisible guardian, she watched Yi Yan cultivate, go on missions, and chat with her teammates every day in an orderly manner, watching her superpowers steadily grow in each battle and meditation, and the power of rules that enveloped her became more and more solid.

Everything is progressing as expected, just waiting for the right opportunity to unlock the door to godhood.

Ye Qiumian had enough patience to wait.

However, beneath the calm surface, crises often brew quietly in the shadows.

Deep within the zombie-infested area, far from human bases, a nauseating stench and deathly silence permeate the air year-round.

This is a paradise for zombies, and a forbidden zone for humans.

At this moment, a turbulent storm was brewing in the heart of this restricted area.

A tall figure hovered in mid-air, his long, ink-black hair moving without wind, surrounded by a dense, impenetrable black mist.

The black mist was not ordinary energy, but was formed from the purest death energy and corpse energy. Each wisp contained a corrosive power that could instantly destroy a level nine ability user.

This is something Shi Xichen discovered after cultivating to level nine: absorbing the energy transformed from death energy and corpse energy could make his supernatural abilities grow faster.

Shi Xichen slowly opened his eyes. His once amber pupils were now completely swallowed by scarlet, but deep in his eyes surged an almost indifferent coldness.

Just now, the zombie crystal core within his body completed its final transformation. The originally gray and withered core turned into a deep black bead as profound as the universe, and a brand new power that transcends the existing rules is continuously surging out from it.

He broke through to the god level!
He became the first god-level zombie on this blue planet to step into the god-level realm.

Shi Xichen looked down at the billions of zombies crawling on the ground below, trembling with fear due to the pressure emanating from his breakthrough.

The crimson gaze slowly swept across the area, finally settling on the direction of the human base.

There seemed to be something there that was drawing him in.

A faint, amused smile spread across his pale lips.

He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing the air.

The divine pressure that surrounded him and almost overturned the entire zombie domain slowly receded like a tide along his fingertips.

The swirling black mist in the air gradually dissipated, revealing his previously concealed figure.

The faint lividity and bluish-black nail polish that had been there had vanished.

The deathly aura emanating from him had completely dissipated.

Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, with natural curves at the ends. Her skin was almost a pale white, yet there was no trace of the stiffness or marks typical of zombies.

Even his scarlet pupils slowly faded into an unfathomable black, making him look like a refined and aloof young gentleman at first glance.

He landed on the ground, his footsteps so light they were almost inaudible.

Unconsciously, fingertips rubbed against the palm, where hard calluses once covered, but now smooth as jade.

He awakened this ability to change when he broke through to the eighth level.

Unlike other zombies that can only maintain their ugly forms, he can freely switch forms and even mimic human body temperature and breath.

Of course, the temperature was always a few degrees lower than normal, with a chill that seeped into your bones.
