Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Lin Chen emerged from the space without the slightest hesitation. His figure flashed continuously as he left the official shelter in Yangcheng at top speed, speeding towards the direction of the Mountain and Water Garden.

Shortly after he left, the anomaly was finally discovered.

The atmosphere in Chang Chengye's study, located in the basement, suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

"Damn it! This Lin Chen is utterly arrogant and goes too far!" Chang Chengye slammed his hand on the heavy solid wood desk, making a dull thud, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

At that moment, Vice Mayor Jiang Yunzheng was also in the study. He had shamelessly come to "reminisce and reconnect" with the city.

Chang Chengye had not yet completed his deal with Wang Gang, and was too lazy to touch him for the time being, so he dealt with him in a perfunctory manner.

If the poor Deputy Mayor Jiang knew that the powerful figure he had been so eager to curry favor with had already sold him out to Wang Gang, one wonders what he would think.

"Where is the young master?!" Chang Chengye shouted angrily at the door.

The guard at the door peeked out tremblingly and replied, "...Young Master...among the new batch of survivors today, there are a few who are particularly beautiful. Young Master took them to...to their rooms."

"That good-for-nothing son!" Chang Chengye's temple veins throbbed. "I told him to keep a close eye on Li Zhenbang, and this is how he does it? He even has time to play around with women?!"

He abruptly turned to the guard, his voice icy: "Go! Drag him out of that group of women right now!"

"Brother Chang, please calm down. Why get so worked up over this?" Jiang Yunzheng smiled sinisterly, a calculating glint in his eyes. "Don't we still have eight children and four concubines left in the Li family?"

Chang Chengye narrowed his eyes: "Those people? Would Li Ya care?"

"I wouldn't say I care," Jiang Yunzheng said slowly, "but there's definitely some resentment."

"Back then, wasn't Li Ya's mother supposedly driven to her death by the combined forces of the legal wife and several powerful concubines? And those half-siblings, from childhood to adulthood, they probably never gave Li Ya a kind look either, right?"

"If we hand these people over to Li Ya, especially that legal wife Qin Anhui, to deal with... do you think she'd be interested? Even if she doesn't do it herself, seeing these people suffer and be miserable would surely give her some satisfaction, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Chengye's anger subsided slightly, replaced by a deeper chill: "Not bad...that's one way too."

He immediately ordered the person outside the door, "Go! Send more men to keep a close watch on the rest of the Li family! Especially Qin Anhui, make sure nothing happens to her!"

"Yes!" The guard quickly accepted the order and left.

----------------

On the other side, Lin Chen traveled alone at full speed, even faster than when he came. In just over ten minutes, the outline of the Mountain and Water Garden Shelter came into view.

As soon as he stepped into the villa, he anxiously called out, "Yingyue! Yingyue!"

Jiang Yingyue, who was chatting and playing with her sisters in the underground shelter, was startled when she heard Lin Chen's urgent call and rushed out instantly.

Su Yun, Bai Xin, and others followed closely behind.

"Brother Lin! What's wrong? What happened? Where's Sister Ya?!" Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats when they saw that only Lin Chen had returned, and he looked anxious.

"Xiaoya is alright!" Lin Chen spoke very quickly, while simultaneously communicating with the Creation Bead in his mind.

A faint light flashed, and Li Ya and the unconscious, weak-breathing Li Zhenbang appeared before everyone.

Lin Chen carefully settled Li Zhenbang on the soft sofa.

"Yingyue, quick! Use your special ability to stabilize Uncle Li's life first!" Lin Chen said urgently.

Jiang Yingyue's "life connection" is currently the most effective means of maintaining life.

"Understood!" Jiang Yingyue stepped forward without hesitation.

A vibrant, emerald-green light flowed from her palm, gently enveloping Li Zhenbang.

A stable channel of life energy was quickly established, and Li Zhenbang's flickering life force, like a candle in the wind, was immediately supported by this external force and stopped dimming.

"Sister Yun, contact Xiyuan immediately and have her get through this as quickly as possible!" Lin Chen turned to Su Yun.

"We're already on the call!" Su Yun waved the communicator in her hand.

"Yutong, try using your healing light to alleviate his pain." Lin Chen then looked at Chen Yutong, who possessed healing abilities.

"Okay!" Chen Yutong responded and stepped forward, her hands radiating a soft, milky-white halo that enveloped Li Zhenbang.

Li Ya knelt beside her father, tightly gripping his cold hand, her tear-streaked face filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Su Yun and the others stood by, anxious but trying their best to maintain order and avoid interfering with the treatment.

Before long, hurried footsteps approached from afar.

Shen Xiyuan rushed over with a medical kit on her back, and Xu Qian, Qian Muyao and other logistics and medical personnel also arrived one after another.

Shen Xiyuan immediately spotted the old man, who was enveloped in green light and had a pale, ashen face.

She quickly crouched down, deftly opening the medical kit and taking out instruments, while calmly instructing, "Everyone, please move aside to ensure air circulation. Sister Qian, prepare warm water and clean dressings. Mu Yao, pay attention to changes in vital signs."

Her professional and calm voice quickly brought stability to the tense atmosphere.

"Yingxue," Shen Xiyuan said, looking up at Jiang Yingxue, "use your 'Light of Life' to replenish Mr. Li's vitality and strength twice in a row."

"Okay, Sister Xiyuan." Jiang Yingxue focused her mind, her hands radiating a warm, white-gold light, and gently placed them on Li Zhenbang's chest.

The light flowed and seeped in quietly. A moment later, she repeated it again.

Shen Xiyuan conducted another quick check, and after a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"Sister Shen, how is my dad?" Seeing that her father was still unconscious, and Shen Xiyuan stood up, Li Ya's heart jumped again, and her voice trembled.

"Uncle Li's vital signs have stabilized, and he is out of danger for the time being," Shen Xiyuan said gently.

"Then...why hasn't he woken up yet?" Li Ya asked anxiously.

Shen Xiyuan paused for a moment, then explained, "His current state is somewhat like 'self-awareness withdrawal.' His previous high fever likely exceeded 41 degrees Celsius, which may have caused some damage to his brain."

"Moreover, he himself seemed to lack a strong will to live and was unwilling to wake up."

"You don't want to wake up?" Li Ya was stunned.

"Yes," Shen Xiyuan nodded, "Judging from the physiological indicators, under the influence of Yingyue, Yingxue and Yutong's superpowers, his physical functions are already recovering."

"But whether he can regain consciousness depends on the specific circumstances of the brain injury and the degree of recovery, as well as on whether he has a strong desire to wake up."

Li Ya became even more anxious: "Brain damage? Can't superpowers cure it? Then can he wake up?"

"The brain has a delicate and complex structure, and damage to it is often irreversible. Even supernatural treatments have limited effectiveness. A high fever of 41 degrees Celsius lasting for several hours is already a fatal threat to ordinary people."

Shen Xiyuan spoke calmly but truthfully, "His current situation is that his body is recovering, but due to possible brain damage and his own self-abandonment, he has fallen into a deep coma. External stimulation may be helpful, but the key depends on his own will and the degree of brain damage."

"External stimulation..." Lin Chen stroked his chin, then suddenly gave a somewhat strange look. "Then... I might have a way."

"What method? Brother Lin, tell me quickly!" Li Ya asked hurriedly, as if she had grasped at a straw.

"Do you really want me to say something?" Lin Chen looked at Li Ya, then at the concerned crowd around him.

"Hey Lin, what time is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!" Bai Xin couldn't help but urge him. "Can't you see how anxious Sister Ya is!"

"That's right, Brother Lin, just say it!" The others chimed in.

Lin Chen shrugged: "Fine, you guys told me to say it."

He walked over to Li Zhenbang, bent down, and whispered in the old man's ear, using a loud, unusually clear, and even slightly emphasized tone, enunciating each word clearly:

"Li Ya is pregnant! You're going to be a grandfather!"

He shouted it once, paused for a second, shouted it again, and then shouted it a third time.

This sudden "drastic measure" left everyone around stunned, their expressions blank as they looked at each other in disbelief.

However, miraculously, Li Zhenbang's fingers, which were placed at his side, trembled almost imperceptibly.

Immediately afterwards, his tightly closed eyelids began to twitch slightly and rapidly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen did not hesitate and leaned closer to repeat the call several more times.

Before long, to everyone's disbelief, Li Zhenbang's eyelashes trembled violently, and he actually slowly opened his eyes.

The Lin family's treatment method is terrifyingly powerful!

His gaze was initially somewhat unfocused and confused, but it gradually sharpened, and his chapped lips moved a few times, emitting a faint yet clear breathy sound:

"Grandpa...Grandpa? I...I'm going to be a grandpa?"
