Chapter 571: Chapter 440: Seeds of the Solar Era (3rd update)_2

Su Yu hummed in agreement, acknowledging that like him, Zhang Zhongmou, Ma Ziye, Su Yun and most others, it indeed was this method of evolution for them. Continually slaying monsters, devouring energy crystals, continuously upgrading and achieving more powerful strength, while evolving to a higher rank. However, Qin Jiagui and Ning Yan seemed different; without any regular pattern, they had unexpectedly manifested such terrifying powers beyond what was considered ’normal’.

"But even under this normal evolutionary process, there are occasional anomalies that even we ’Category 5 lifeforms’ cannot comprehend. It could be due to entities that lie beyond our understanding, or other unknown factors... I can’t articulate these complexities verbally. All I can do is simplify it by saying that after every Solar Epoch ends, ’seeds’ will be left behind. These residual seeds, each containing dissimilar information, randomly self-select to take root in organisms that have entered this world due to the ’heavenly pit.’ But the factors that cultivate or trigger these ’seeds’ can vary. The message or mission embodied by the ’seeds’ in this epoch is also unique. This is something even we cannot predict, like Qin Jiagui or Lei Rui..."

At this point, Ada also frowned slightly. She was unsure about the specific meaning behind the "7" displayed by Qin Jiagui and the "8" exhibited by Lei Rui. Yet, faintly, she assumed these were distinct "seeds" left behind from the previous epoch, born in this epoch with their unique missions and significance.

"Too much of my memory is lost. I always feel that there is some connection between them and me, but I can’t pin it down." Ada sighed secretly, shaking her head. Suddenly, she remembered the terrifying dark vortex sealed by the "Jianmu Tree" she saw in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. She wasn’t sure why that image re-appeared in her mind.

Lei Rui regained consciousness quickly, but had a perplexed expression and could vaguely sense faint shadows. She couldn’t quite recall what had happened until Su Yun told her about it. Lei Rui was astonished, but had no body consciousness. Even the power within her was still at "fourth order" and showed no increase. This caused a mixture of disappointment and fear, as she was unclear about what had mutated within her. She thought about Ning Yan turning into a monster and was afraid the same could happen to her, so she was subconsciously apprehensive.

About fifteen minutes after Lei Rui woke up, Qin Jiagui also woke up with a throbbing headache. His memories flooded back in bits and pieces - how Yuan Niping shielded him from the monster’s horrifying attack and then... everything seemed to blur...

Without thinking too much, Qin Jiagui instinctively shouted, "Ni Ping!" and then saw Yuan Ni Ping lying unconscious within his embrace.

Seeing that Yuan Niping was breathing normally, he was relieved. Although she was still unconscious, her life was not in danger. Overjoyed, Qin Jiagui hugged her tightly and whispered, "Ni Ping, I can’t live without you. You can’t leave me... it’s good that... you’re alright... we... we can definitely go back to the way things were before, we... can start over..." His voice trailed off, his hands holding Yuan Niping tightly, and he would not let go.

Everyone around exhaled softly, their faces breaking into comforting smiles as they listened to Qin Jiagui’s whispers.

Qin Jiagui had finally untangled the knot in his heart. Everyone was moved as they thought about how he tore off one of his wings to save Yuan Niping earlier.

Qin Jiagui’s love for Yuan Niping was still stirring in his heart. Despite his brief confusion and apprehension, he overcame his inner demons and accepted Yuan Niping once again.

When Qin Jiagui was hugging Yuan Niping tightly and whispering to her, Yuan Niping was already awake. She lay there listening to every word that Qin Jiagui said and couldn’t hold back her tears. Hugging him back tightly, they held each other as if they were inseparable for the rest of their lives.

Seeing them reconcile as if nothing ever happened, everyone involuntarily sighed in relief. It felt like a sudden break in the clouds, giving them a glimpse of daylight. Zhang Zhongmou muttered, "Damn, this dreaded trial... no, thinking about it now, it’s quite a good trial, ha, hahaha."

Su Yu gently stroke Ada on his shoulder and smiled lightly, striding to the window and peered outside. The road outside was still densely covered with monsters from the Yalasa Tribe. On the distant skyscrapers, ten colossal metal gates continued to summon an army of monsters non-stop. Today was the fourth day of the trial—there were still three days left until it ended.

Today’s battle resulted in Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping’s reconciliation was indeed a cause for celebration. However, the group’s losses were also significant. Of these, one of Wu Tian’s men from Tianquan City had perished, and on Su Yu’s side, Li Shengli had died, Liu Dong’s main body had passed, and his remaining secondary body had degraded from a Level Five to a Fourth Order power, weakening considerably. Essentially, he had lost his combat abilities in the trial.

The most terrifying incident had involved Ruan Minghong. The gigantic flesh ball she mutated into during the battle was swarmed and devoured by monsters. For Ruan Minghong, who possessed an almost indestructible body, this situation was undoubtedly the worst. If she was entirely consumed, her undying power would be useless, and she would die for real.

Fortunately, Su Yu had managed to eliminate the leader of the monsters, and Qin Jiagui’s mutation subsequently wiped out all the monsters in the building, saving Ruan Minghong. At that time, Ruan Minghong had been reduced to mere scraps of flesh and bone, barely recognizable as a human.

But Ruan Minghong’s miraculous undying power was not to be underestimated. Before their eyes, it quickly reconstructed her from the scraps into a brand-new Ruan Minghong, astonishing everyone.

Of course, if Qin Jiagui hadn’t suddenly mutated and displayed a mind-boggling power at the last moment, even if Su Yu could kill the leader of the Yalasa, they might have had to pay the price of several more deaths.

And that was just the fourth wave of monster attacks. There were probably three more waves, each scarier than the last. Just thinking about it made everyone’s excitement fade away. Zhang Zhongmou quickly rushed over to Qin Jiagui to ask if he could still use his terrifying flame power. If he could, no matter how many monsters came at them, they’d be able to handle it.

Unfortunately, Qin Jiagui shook his head, indicating he could only use the "Freakish Evolution" power. As for the wing power, he couldn’t activate it even if he wanted to, let alone remember anything about it; all he had were blurry memories.

Zhang Zhongmou sighed regretfully, while Su Yu had already split everyone into two teams, planning to try and reach the top of the building during the next monster attack, and then execute the second plan.

Based on the monster attacks in the past few days, the fifth wave was bound to be much more terrifying than the last one. If they were to barely defend against it, the casualties would undoubtedly be severe. Staying put in this building was clearly not the wisest decision anymore.

Su Yu believes that with his current power, no matter how many monsters there were, as long as there wasn’t one exceeding the Seventh Level, he could handle them. However, others were not as equipped, especially those at the Fourth and Fifth Levels. For everyone’s safety, a retreat plan was necessary.

The fifth day of the trial had finally arrived. A more horrifying monster attack was about to descend. (To be continued... To find out more, please visit www.qidian.com. Support the author with more Chapters, support legal reading!)
