Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

After saying that, Chen Jie put the necklace on her without asking, since he couldn't expect someone who didn't recognize necklaces to wear them.

Seeing the insect wing patterns that had just begun to emerge on Liu Ying's face suppressed by this piece of molten crystal, Chen Jie's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

The material of this necklace is not just refined molten ore.

As if it were a precious treasure, Liu Ying gently stroked the crystal on her chest, her smile never fading. "So comfortable, this necklace is so warm."

Firefly was overjoyed, happier than ever before; she even felt this would be the happiest day of her life.

Chen Jie silently observed the girl's joy; Liu Ying's behavior was normal, after all, Sam was bound to a genetically modified human.

Only genetically modified humans can summon the summoner, and only those who are bound to it can use that summoner.

"Ah! I must go now, Alphs Dustfall. I can't keep my seniors waiting any longer. Next time, I'll come to see you again."

Realizing what had happened, Liu Ying hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Jie, but instead of leaving, she stared at him with her big, watery eyes, longingly.

Dust Calamity couldn't help but chuckle at this scene. "Go on, don't keep your friends waiting." It seems this child has learned a lot from her predecessors.

"friend?"

Liu Ying blinked. Another unfamiliar word. Were she friends with her seniors? And what did "friends" even mean?

"People you have a good relationship with are friends. Don't be confused. You can ask me any questions you have later, and I will answer them for you."

"Goodbye, Alphos Dust!"

My Creator

Watching the girl's departing figure, Chen Jie felt a strange sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.

*Snap!* With the shattering of the petri dish, and watching the genetically modified human inside leave on its own, Chen Jie lost all will to continue working and decided to go back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Leigh, watching the surveillance footage in his office, had a somewhat complicated expression.

"Dust Calamity, I have never seen your joys and sorrows before. Why would they be reflected in a genetically modified human who is someone I don't care about at all?"

"I don't want to see you disappoint me. I want you to bear everything for me. I'm getting old."

Lere leaned wearily against the back of his chair. He had seen the necklace; he knew perfectly well what it was made of.

In this experimental base, embezzling important materials for personal gain is a serious crime that could implicate one's entire family.

Lire's expression was complex, completely different from, even the opposite of, when he first met Chen Jie a year ago.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to delete the video.

As one of the ten councilors, he still had the right to do such things in his own experimental base.

Dust Calamity returned to his laboratory with an extremely calm expression.

Of course he knew that Liley could see the surveillance footage; that was the place where genetically modified humans were made, who would believe it without surveillance?

But he was also certain that Leary would never harm him.

Perhaps this is what they mean by those who are favored always being fearless; I feel inexplicably guilty.

After washing up briefly, Chen Jie lay down on the bed to rest.

We've already created four genetically modified humans today. With eight systems already in place, it's normal to feel tired, right?

Soon, the meaning of the mortal tribulation began to fade, and he gradually drifted into sleep.

"Dust and tribulations"

In a daze, Chen Jie heard someone calling his name. The voice was old, but full of energy, sounding like a strong sixty-year-old man, which was quite unbelievable.

"wake up!"

With a loud shout, Chen Jie was startled awake. When he saw his surroundings and what was in front of him, his mind went completely blank.

Dust Tribulation tried to ignore the person in front of him, instead carefully observing his surroundings.

This is a place shrouded in mist and clouds, where no mountain peaks are visible, resembling a fairyland.

"Dust Calamity! How long are you going to keep running away?!"

"What? Running away? Me? What am I running away from?"

Dust Tribulation, who hadn't yet figured out his situation, was suddenly stunned by this loud question.

The person standing in front of him was the one that Chen Jie had wanted to avoid from the very beginning—the Flame Dragon Armor. It was quite absurd.

Dust Tribulation tried to calm himself down and planned to turn the tables and seize the initiative. "And who are you? Why do you know my name? And why do you say I'm running away from something baseless?"

This time, Yanlong remained silent. After a long while, an aged voice came from within the armor, but this time, it sounded somewhat weak.

"Children who have lost their original nature, one day you will understand your calling."

Dust Tribulation was stunned. I took the origin? So those two asterisks in front of the system mean I'm a thief or a burglar?!

Chapter 8 will definitely involve a civil war.

Immediately afterwards, Yanlong returned to his previous state, speaking with a strong voice: "But before that, you must learn from me and feel the essence and spirit of this land."

"Please sit down."

Chen Jie hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat cross-legged on the cloud. It was a very strange sensation; all the questions in his heart were temporarily suppressed at this moment, and his mind began to calm down.

Yanlong nodded slowly and sat down.

"The fact that you can begin to meditate shows that you have a great talent. Now, do as I say, let go of all the pressure and distractions, and use your heart to feel the world."

Dust Tribulation neither resisted nor opposed; instead, he did as the other party said, wanting to see why the other party had come from another universe.

The two sat facing each other silently, neither moving nor speaking.

Feel the spirit and vitality of this land?

He felt nothing of the tribulation; instead, he felt a sense of tranquility and open-mindedness, and his body experienced a strange sense of comfort that gradually increased over time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Jie opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion. "What are you talking about essence, energy, and spirit? And how can I determine if I've sensed essence, energy, and spirit?"

Yanlong remained silent, thinking, "With a clear mind and undistracted focus, one can communicate with nature and obtain its assistance."

Hearing this, Chen Jie nodded silently and then closed his eyes again.

This time, the visor of the Flame Dragon Armor flashed with blue light and nodded slightly in agreement.

Ruzi can teach

He knew that Chen Jie had already entered the first stage of cultivation, but Chen Jie himself was unaware of this, still considering himself merely showing signs of progress, not having truly entered the first stage, and was very humble.

He had even considered that Chen Jie might make a fuss, but he never expected the other party to be so calm and trusting.

Unlike the previous children, each child is unique.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Chen Jie felt so comfortable that he was about to ascend to immortality when that familiar shout rang out again, startling him awake.

This time, when he opened his eyes, his expression was very calm, and Yanlong nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"Child, you are excellent."

"I know, Professor Li Lei often says that about me too. He says I'm the best researcher at the experimental base besides him."

Yanlong remained silent. He naturally knew what that laboratory did, but it was none of his business. The humans on that planet had reached a dead end.

He had considered directly stating the key points, but that would be wrong, bad for Chen Jie, and could even be said to harm him.

That was the path that Dust Tribulation chose itself.

Whether the consequences are good or bad, he will have to bear them himself.

All he can do is guide the dust and tribulations onto the right path; any child recognized by the Light and Shadow Stone is a good child.

"Go back, child. This is the first and last time we'll see each other."

Dust Calamity was stunned. "You don't blame me for stealing your power?"

"My child, you have a long road ahead of you."

This irrelevant answer caused Chen Jie's eyes to reveal a thoughtful expression. At that moment, the idyllic space crumbled, and the figure of the Flame Dragon Armor gradually disappeared.

As this space was about to dissipate, Yanlong silently gazed in the direction where Chen Jie had returned, thinking, "Man may have lofty ambitions, but without good fortune, they cannot be realized."

"The origin will be taken away by you; that is destiny. How can you call it theft?"

In reality, Chen Jie slowly opened his eyes, his gaze revealing both understanding and a hint of helplessness.

He understood more or less what Yanlong meant by his calling it his calling, but it didn't seem quite right. If he really went up there, wouldn't that be working for the company?

"That's a matter for [Storage] Amber King. If I were to interfere, wouldn't the company kill me?"

"Moreover, Amber King hates insects the most. It's already a miracle that Amber King didn't take action and blow up Grammer, this humanoid insect planet."

Chen Jie rubbed his temples. He didn't plan to think about such things for the time being, because there was no solution at the moment. He couldn't possibly follow the Amber King to build walls with ash, could he?

Also, the things the Flame Dragon Armor just taught him are quite good; they can improve his condition and spirit. He should practice them more often when he has free time.

After checking the time, Chen Jie realized he had slept through five systems. He washed his face and left his laboratory.

However, just as Chen Jie was about to return to his post, a researcher walked out from the side.

"Alphs Dustbreaker, the casualties at the front are heavy. You are very familiar with the Molten Knight models. Professor Lire wants me to inform you to return from your post as a genetically modified human."

"At the same time, the shattered Molten Knight armor and the corpses of the True Stinger will also be sent to your laboratory."

Dust Calamity was not surprised by Li Lei's actions and nodded calmly, "I understand. Is there anything else?"

As he spoke, Chen Jie glanced at the other person's name tag: Researcher No. 37

During this year, the experimental base also gained some new recruits, not many, seven in total, ranging from Lirei's No. 1 to No. 70.

Number 37 hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "There's no need to go that far for genetically modified humans; their existence is for fighting."

"Don't invest too much emotion; it will be detrimental to you. I understand what Professor Liley means, and I also acknowledge your intelligence and learning ability."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie remained unmoved and adjusted his glasses. "Is that all? Is there anything else?"

The other party was stunned, seemingly somewhat surprised by the calmness of the tribulation.

"That's all, I'm going to get busy."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Chen Jie's heart remained unmoved by the other person's words.
