Chapter 2880: Chapter 2881: Cultivating Viral Adaptability

After all, scientists are humans too, and their mental state greatly affects their research capabilities.

"The Zhongzhou civilization is actually controlled by the Zhongzhou Empire. However, within the Empire, there are many factions. If these factions were completely united, I feel the Zhongzhou Empire would be invincible! They could defeat any opponent!" As she spoke, a peculiar color appeared in Xin Lan’s eyes. "It’s just that those damned factions are thinking of using technology to dominate other worlds and commit unspeakable acts. It’s because of them that the Zhongzhou civilization has fallen into such a situation!"

"And we call them the Dark Civilization! It’s the emergence of the Dark Civilization that has gradually thrown the Zhongzhou Empire into chaos. The technological achievements of the past were entirely for serving the Human Race, even the weapons manufactured were used for defense! If there were no enemies invading, they basically wouldn’t actively occupy other worlds. Otherwise, why would the Zhongzhou civilization only exist in the Martial Realm!"

"I believe the downfall of the Zhongzhou civilization is actually not because of those invaders, but because of ourselves! There are many secrets in this that I don’t understand, but all of this came too suddenly!"

As she spoke, her emotions became somewhat agitated.

Ye Luo, however, held her in his arms, "So, do you think this time it’s the seed of the Dark Civilization or the technological seed of the Zhongzhou Civilization that is awakening?"

Xin Lan was once again dumbfounded, "It must be the Dark Civilization. Otherwise, how could such a destructive virus be developed!"

"Exactly. To revive the Zhongzhou civilization, we must eradicate that Dark Civilization. Otherwise, if the Dark Civilization revives, it would be a disaster, something I’m sure you don’t want to see either!"

"What do you mean?" Xin Lan looked at Ye Luo in confusion.

Ye Luo laughed slightly, clearly seeing her as the one caught in the situation.

"You should be firm in your heart, firm in your ideals. What you should strive for is the Zhongzhou civilization, not that Dark Civilization. Even if you’re the only one, so what? In the future, there may still be seeds of civilization, so you don’t need to be confused. Your path is very clear; it’s just that you’ve never faced your own path directly!"

After hearing this, Xin Lan bowed her head and began to contemplate.

A long time later, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes becoming incredibly bright, almost as if she had transformed into another person.

Seeing this scene, Ye Luo was also very happy; it was precisely the kind of inner confidence that Ye Luo had seen when he first met Xin Lan.

"Ye Luo, thank you, I’ve found myself again!"

Ye Luo, however, pulled her back into his embrace, "But now, you don’t just belong to yourself, you also belong to me!"

"Annoying!"

Xin Lan gently pushed him away, "Stop messing around, let’s focus on the virus issue. Currently, there’s a strong possibility that the virus is breeding inside you. If we wait any longer, I won’t be confident in helping you. Hurry and get into the culture vessel to begin testing your body’s resistance!"

Ye Luo looked at the large container in front of him, a bit puzzled. From the outside, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong, but Ye Luo could guess that inside there should be numerous replicas of the doomsday virus.

"Don’t worry. Most of it inside are semi-finished products of the virus, not very powerful, and are meant to stimulate your body to produce antibodies. It’s just that the process is somewhat painful, and this container was also brought from the base. It has a time adjustment function that can accelerate the passage of time, so if you can endure the pain, cultivating inside is a pretty good choice. However, it requires a lot of resources, which I can’t afford!"

Saying this, she spread her hands, revealing a playful expression.

Ye Luo immediately laughed, tossed a Qiankun Ring to her, and leaped into the container.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of him changed—this was actually a separate space, entirely different from what he had seen outside. This wasn’t just a vessel; it was like a small world unto itself!

The sky was gray, and the ground was covered in yellow soil, giving a feeling of immense desolation.

"Is this the world of the Zhongzhou civilization?"

Ye Luo looked up, knowing this must be a simulated environment of the Zhongzhou civilization.

However, in the distance, a gust of wind suddenly swept over, but he quickly realized it wasn’t just wind; it was the doomsday virus!

He had seen the virus. When these viruses gathered in large numbers, they were like locusts, leaving nothing behind in their path!

How many viruses would it take to gather into a shape! You must know that a single virus is too small for even Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye to see!

But right now, he had no other choice, immediately summoning the Lingyun Sword.

"Consider it cultivation!"

Saying so, he thrust the sword, and the majestic Sword Qi immediately scattered the virus.

But soon, the viruses around Ye Luo began to form shapes again!

They even enveloped him, and the next moment, he felt these viruses infiltrating every cell in his body, a pain akin to being cut into pieces.

Is this only a little pain? Ye Luo gritted his teeth in agony.

"Chaos Body Refinement!"

Ye Luo gritted his teeth, directly blowing apart his physical body. Originally, when the Chaos Qi entered his body, he hadn’t been able to refine it. Of course, he didn’t know how to refine it. Now, enduring the unbearable pain, he simply exploded his body, thinking that back when he cultivated the Great Saint Physique, he had done this many times, so it wasn’t a big deal.

After the body cracked open, a trace of Chaos Qi emanated, with Chaos giving birth to all things, let alone the body itself.

If you use Chaos Qi to reforge the body, that would be the true Innate Taoist Body, akin to those great figures from the Ancient Times. Only a body born of Chaos can cultivate to the supreme realm.

Of course, this is just changing the innate talent; as for what realm it can be reached, that is influenced by too many factors.

At this time, even Xin Lan outside could not see what Ye Luo was going through, her emotions incredibly tense. After all, cultivating virus adaptability is extremely dangerous, and even if she weakened the virus’s power, who could guarantee nothing would go wrong?

The Royal Mansion of the King of Huainan.

"Knowing it’s a trap, why hasn’t Ye Luo led the troops away from that base? Does he intend to have all those 250,000 soldiers buried there with him!" The King of Huainan, having received the news, frowned.

"This... I can’t figure it out either!" The Shadow sighed.

"Have we found out what’s so mysterious about that base?" asked the King of Huainan.

The Shadow immediately shook his head, "That base is quite strange. Not only we, but Ye Luo and several generals have also investigated it, and it seems there’s nothing to be found!"
