I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"It's alright, nothing's wrong."

After a careful examination, Liu Mengxian found that Yan Ziming had not suffered any fatal injuries and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She's really something; she actually elementalized her own heart, otherwise Yan Ziming would have been doomed.

"Xian'er, I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Ziming was carried away by Liu Mengxian with one hand and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a devastated battlefield and Yan Shan, who was standing there with his head down in thought.

To avoid dragging the entire nation into a bottomless pit, Yan Shan decided to remain hidden. He had done his best; not a single civilian had been killed or injured in the earlier confrontation. As for the mess that remained, he would leave it to the others.

Who told them to be so lax in their management? They let such a super strong person infiltrate and almost assassinated China's pride and joy. Consider this building damage a lesson learned!

Chapter 41 Assimilation

In the depths of the clouds, in the blink of an eye, she was brought here by Xian'er.

"Xian'er...?" Yan Ziming broke the silence first, looking at Liu Mengxian who remained silent.

"what's up?"

Liu Mengxian finally reacted, her eyes shining as she looked over. When Yan Ziming met her gaze, it was as if he were gazing at the boundless universe, where stars vanished and chaos was born.

"Could you keep this a secret for me and not let anyone know?"

What gave you the illusion that "such a big thing could be kept secret"?

"...Yeah, that's true."

This attack is enough to shake the entire United States. During the Civilization Cup, an event occurred in which a peerless expert attacked a city. The eyes of the whole world will be focused on this.

I know I'll be interrogated by Ye Qianxue and the others when I get back; there's no way I can hide it from them.

"Well, I don't have such high expectations. I just want them to know I'm injured. I'll make a phone call."

Yan Ziming took out her phone and first called Yan Shan to tell him not to tell his relatives and friends about her injury. Then she called back the phone that had called her earlier.

"Hey, where are you, big sister?! There was such a loud noise outside, and such a strong sense of oppression! There was even a thunderstorm in the sky! Are you alright, big sister?"

As soon as the call connected, Ye Qianxue's words came through like a barrage of bullets. Yan Ziming sensed the worry in her tone and said softly:

"I'm fine. Xian'er took me away. Are you all alright?"

"Everything's alright, everyone's fine. But your master sister has gone out to look for you, where are you?"

"Where are we... uh, Xian'er?"

Halfway through their conversation, Yan Ziming suddenly realized that she didn't even know where she was. All she could see was a beautiful landscape with clear waters and misty clouds. Apart from the two of them, she couldn't detect any other signs of life, as if it were a fairyland on earth.

Beside her was a pool of water formed from lightning slurry, containing such a high concentration of lightning element that even Yan Ziming could only sigh in admiration.

"my home."

Liu Mengxian revealed something that surprised Yan Ziming: this was actually Xian'er's home.

"Uh... Qianxue, can you hear me? I'm at Xian'er's house, but I don't know exactly where."

"Eh—!!! How could you do this! That's too cunning!"

Yan Ziming didn't know which aspect of cunning Ye Qianxue was referring to, nor did he want to know: "Okay, let everyone know I'm safe and sound, and tell Mu Mu to go back. Don't worry about me. Xian'er called me. That's all."

After much coaxing, Yan Ziming finally managed to get Ye Qianxue to hang up the phone. He then looked at Liu Mengxian and asked, "Xian'er, why are we here?"

Before you ask that question, you should check if your heart can ever go back to normal. But I suggest you don't try it.

Liu Mengxian gently stroked Yan Ziming's heart area with her right hand, where lightning still surged and spewed out, but it was still not blood, but lightning.

"Ah?"

Yan Ziming, who was about to give it a try, stopped after hearing Liu Mengxian's advice.

"Seriously... the heart should be the last place to be elementalized, but you skipped that step first. Should I say you're highly skilled and daring, or just reckless?"

A slight smile played on Liu Mengxian's lips. Her words seemed to be both mocking Yan Ziming and expressing concern for her.

"What kind of consequences will there be?" Yan Ziming swallowed hard and asked nervously.

"Your current control is insufficient to allow such a vulnerable part as the heart to recover; you can only maintain this state."

"...Xian'er, just tell me what you want to do to me... My little heart can't take this kind of stimulation." Yan Ziming said with a wry smile. As soon as she said this, Yan Ziming felt that her limbs were a little cold and weak, which was a bad omen.

Fortunately, she was a high-level ability user, and her body had already evolved to a certain extent, improving her life essence. Otherwise, if she had forcibly elementalized her heart, she would have been doomed, and she would have died without even having to make a move.

In response, Liu Mengxian offered her suggestion: "Since we can't restore it to its original state, why not just leave it as it is?"

"I want to too... but if my blood can't flow through my heart to my whole body, I'll die!"

"It's simple, a blood transfusion." With lightning speed, Liu Mengxian threw Yan Ziming into the pool of water formed by the lightning magma!

"Holy crap, Xian'er, what are you doing?!"

"A blood transfusion," Liu Mengxian said calmly, explaining her intentions to Yan Ziming.

To resolve this situation, we must return to the essence of elementalization—the structure of life.

Strictly speaking, once Yan Ziming is strong enough to fully transform into an element, the moment she activates her elemental transformation, her life essence can no longer be called human, but rather a collection of elements.

However, transforming into a collection of elements requires a gradual process.

Generally speaking, the process begins with the simpler limbs, followed by other body parts. Only after all other parts of the body have been fully elementalized can the elementalization of important organs such as the heart be carried out.

Conversely, if we reverse that... then we'd be reversing the order of life, just like how blood can't flow backwards, and the consequences would be extremely serious.

From today's perspective, Yan Zimo's heart can no longer be called a heart, or at least it can no longer be called a flesh and blood organ.

What spews out is not blood, but lightning. This is absolutely impossible for a human body. Without blood circulation, there is no oxygen supply, and death will occur in no time.

So Liu Mengxian came up with a solution: first, help her achieve elemental transformation of most of her body, so that she could withstand changes of this magnitude, such as 'blood reversal,' and then her heart could revert back to normal.

The first thing to do is to replace all the blood in her body with flowing lightning element!

Furthermore, it must be lightning element with sufficiently high purity, subtly assimilating her body to make her more compatible with lightning element, thus making elementalization feasible.

The reason Liu Mengxian brought her here was precisely for this purpose; this pool of water formed from thunderous slurry perfectly met this requirement, making it an ideal replacement source.

To put it simply, it's about cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body.

This is an extremely simple and brutal method, and a slight mistake could lead to sudden death. If possible, Liu Mengxian would not want to use this method on Yan Ziming.

"It might hurt a lot, bear with it, please don't die."

Liu Mengxian gave one last reminder, but before Yan Ziming could say anything, she was overwhelmed by a tearing pain that ripped her whole body apart. The pain was so intense that she couldn't scream and fainted in less than half a second. The next moment, she was pulled back from unconsciousness by even more intense pain, and then fainted again, repeating the cycle over and over again!

This is absolutely inhuman torture!

If it weren't for Liu Mengxian constantly waking her up, Yan Ziming might have already passed away.

However, this measure alone is not enough to allow Yan Zimo to get through this process safely. Without other measures, Yan Zimo would really die here.

Liu Mengxian's starry eyes flashed rapidly as she looked at Yan Ziming's increasingly pale face. His vital signs were like a candle burning to its last flame, ready to be extinguished with a gentle breath. She bit her lower lip, her heart filled with inner turmoil.

"Pay the price, after all, you're my successor..."

As she spoke, two beams of purple lightning suddenly shot out from Liu Mengxian's eyes, tearing through space and time. Her body gradually became illusory, and the structure of her internal meridians could be seen. Unlike Yan Zimo, her internal meridians were entirely blue and purple, indicating that she had reached the peak of elementalization.

Lei Chi became jubilant, as if welcoming the arrival of the ruler. Thunder and lightning raged around them, and a layer of thunderclouds quickly and naturally gathered in the sky.

This is the change in the world caused by the lightning element automatically converging towards her after she became an elemental being. At this moment, the lightning element is almost inexhaustible for her, making her truly powerful and invincible in the world.

With such overwhelming power, she leaped straight into the lightning pool, embracing Yan Ziming, and transformed into a bolt of lightning, entering Yan Ziming's body...

Chapter Forty-Two: Search?

The next morning.

"Hello, we are from the CIA. Please cooperate."

Mu Mu opened the door and saw several special agents from the United States, dressed in military uniforms, standing at the door, holding an ID card and looking arrogant, about to come in for a search.

Since someone had already notified her, Mu Mu wasn't surprised, and had an expression that said, "Let's see what tricks you guys can come up with."

They came simply because of what happened last night. A powerful expert caused a ruckus in the Seventh District, and now they're looking for the culprit.

However, do they really have the ability to search for criminals door-to-door? Even if they did find them, it probably wouldn't end well.

What good would it do to send a few CIA agents to a powerful entity capable of causing such a commotion?

It's not even enough to fill someone's teeth.

Mu Mu had already checked the hotel's surveillance footage and found that this group of people came here by chance; they skipped other rooms and went straight to this presidential suite.

It's unclear what they want, but it's definitely aimed at them.

"Cooperate? You're talking to me about cooperating with this piece of junk card that anyone can forge?"

Mu Mu picked it up with one hand, looked at it, and then tossed it casually into the trash can with disdain.

There's no way they'll be allowed to search. Many women's private items are here; it would be too unfair for them to see or even touch them. Mu Mu would be the first to object.

"you!"

Jason was caught off guard when Mu Mu snatched his ID and threw it into the trash can, almost making him lose his mind in anger.

Their actions here were permitted by the Lofeel conglomerate, but they were specifically instructed not to use force against the guests in the presidential suite.
