High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

When Chen Mo stood before that milky-white heart, his life limit was reduced to only 1 point.

A vitality even weaker than that of an ordinary person.

Bad news, Xue Jian's 75 billion life points are gone.

Good news, the remaining amount will not be further reduced.

The worse news is that he will die if touched now.

He can ignore even the better news, damages below 52.2 billion.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, with Yin-Yang conversion and the resurrection armor, we won't die easily."

Chen Mo sighed, his anxiety disappearing as he looked up at the enormous heart in front of him.

Structurally, this heart looks the same as a normal heart, but it is composed entirely of purer energy.

"Energy that has condensed into a physical form..."

Chen Mo is now certain that the void he observed through his sixth sense is the enormous heart before him.

If Quetzalcoatl were here, he would definitely warn Chen Mo not to touch this thing.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Chen Mo touched the enormous heart in front of him with some curiosity.

Boom!

A sudden burst of energy caused Chen Mo's vision to go black, and everything around him fell silent.

The Feathered Serpent King, who had just awakened in Zhenyuan, stiffened her expression. Song Bin and Kui Jiuling, who were listening to the past stories beside her, stood up at the same time.

"What happened!?"

Song Bin's expression was solemn; the energy fluctuations just now had actually made him feel a pang of fear.

This is just fluctuation.

"I knew it...this was bound to cause big trouble sooner or later..."

Kui Jiuling's current catchphrase has changed to "When can I die?"

He was truly distressed; he hadn't had a moment's peace ever since Chen Mo arrived.

It would be better for him to fight the Ten Kings to the death than for everything to be shrouded in mystery again.

"No, the space within the Abyss Mother Tree has been reactivated?"

The Feathered Serpent King finally came to his senses and collapsed, his body going limp like an overcooked noodle.

"Only a creature that enters the body of the Abyss Mother Tree can reactivate that space. Currently, there is only one person who can appear inside the Abyss Mother Tree."

"Chen Mo!"

Song Bin and Kui Jiuling's expressions changed drastically. Could something have happened to that kid?

"Hmm, I think... we can give up."

The Queen of the Feathered Serpents' voice became somewhat lost and self-reproachful. Why had she given up on the memories because of a little pain?

"The space inside the Abyss Mother Tree is a space independent of this world; one can only enter but not leave."

"That's a simulation of what our planet looked like before it was eroded by the abyss, but it was eventually abandoned."

"This is also a byproduct of the god-making project. In my memory... this product is called the Garden of Eden."

"A pure utopia where one never has to worry about death and illness."

"Or rather, an inescapable hell frozen in a certain moment."

......

As consciousness returned to his body, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.

Two pairs of curious eyes came into view. The two children screamed and ran away after seeing Chen Mo wake up.

"Where is this place?"

Looking at the vibrant scene around him, Chen Mo was momentarily dazed.

A lush green lawn, a warm breeze, and... a group of people standing at a distance observing them.

The scene before him made Chen Mo feel increasingly dazed; the familiar streetlights and rubberized road gave him a sense of home.

Are you alright?

Upon hearing the gentle voice in his ear, Chen Mo's first reaction was to leap backward.

His health points remained at 1 point; apart from the reduction in maximum health, his other attributes remained unchanged.

A gasp of astonishment rang out from the crowd; Chen Mo's actions just now were simply superhuman!

"No, my body..."

Chen Mo touched his body, which had become intact again. It had been completely broken down before due to the reduction of his life force.

[Challenge begins! Escape Utopia!]

Is everything before my eyes an illusion or reality? What is the meaning of everything here? Is what my eyes see truly the truth?

[Completing the mission will unlock the seventh equipment slot and the third passive skill slot, with additional rewards depending on the host's mission completion level!]

【Whether to accept? 】

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then relaxed.

Because he saw that everyone present had a life value of '1' without exception.

Their defense and attack power are exactly the same as ordinary people, making them a group of beings that pose no threat to me.

"Sorry, I was a little confused just now."

A smile appeared on Chen Mo's face, and the woman who had just been frightened by him slowly relaxed.

"We haven't had any outsiders here for a long time. Eden welcomes you."

"My name is Chu Huating. You don't look very old, so you can just call me Sister Ting."

Chu Huating walked up to Chen Mo, extended her hand, and gave him a very warm smile.

My name is Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard Chu Huating's name, since there weren't many people with the surname Chu, and he happened to know two of them.

"Welcome to the Eden family. After you come here, there will be no more sickness or death."

"We have achieved the immortality that ancient emperors pursued. You could even say that as long as you live in the Garden of Eden, you will never die."

Seeing that Chen Mo meant no harm, Chu Huating began to introduce Eden to him.

"The resources here are endless, and you can do whatever you want here, but you must adhere to the most basic moral principles."

"Of course, over time, the moral bottom line will collapse for a period of time, and it can be rebuilt after that period of chaos."

"Everyone here is very tolerant, because you are the only new friend to join us in the past tens of thousands of years."

"Immortality?" Upon hearing this almost absurd statement, Chen Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and question it.

Even the Heavenly Martial Realm wouldn't dare claim to be completely immortal, yet a group of ordinary people with no strength dare to call themselves immortal?

"Of course, this is Eden, a pure utopia free from sickness and death."

Chu Huating seemed very proud of Eden, and spoke quite confidently.

"What if I killed you?"

Chen Mo revealed his true colors, pressing a finger against Chu Huating's throat.

He didn't even need to use much force; a light touch was enough to turn Chu Huating into a bloody mist.

"You can try it; everyone here is immortal."

Chu Huating took a step forward and looked at Chen Mo without any fear.

No, I won't use you as a test.

Chen Mo had a rather favorable impression of the surname Chu. He casually grabbed a middle-aged man who was watching the commotion nearby, and with a single grasp, the man exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Aren't you immortal?"

As soon as Chen Mo opened his mouth to speak, he noticed that the cloud of blood mist had reformed, and the middle-aged man had reappeared in front of him.

"this......"

"I've already said it, once you enter Eden, you'll be immortal."

Chu Huating smiled with satisfaction, not surprised by the result.

"Let me say it again, welcome to Eden."
