In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

Zhang Yi's team is growing at an alarming rate.

The research results from Deng's Technology have fallen into Zhang Yi's hands.

It also made him realize that humans could deceive the gods and obtain spiritual essence by cultivating a large number of embryos.

So soon, Zhang Yi's own bio-factory was also established.

He ran the factory himself and initially didn't let Zhou Ke'er, who was an expert in this field, get involved.

He felt that Zhou Ke'er was a person of high moral character and should not be able to accept obtaining Ether fragments in this way.

However, after hearing the news, Zhou Ke'er volunteered to take charge of the bio-factory project.

"When humanity is on the verge of extinction, the most important thing is survival. Moral and ethical considerations can only be put on the basis of survival."

Having spent a long time with Zhang Yi, Zhou Ke'er's mindset has changed.

Zhang Yi nodded. "The biological factory and the centipede farm are both in your hands. Let the frog assist you; it's practically an expert now."

"only……"

Zhang Yi hesitated, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er quickly and gently walked over and put her arm around Zhang Yi's arm. Her gentleness made Zhang Yi feel warm and comfortable.

"What's wrong? Have you been under too much pressure lately? Do you want to take a break? We'll take care of everything else."

Zhang Yi shook his head and chuckled softly, "I'm just a little... lost."

"Confused..."

Zhou Ke'er blinked her beautiful big eyes, her pretty eyelashes fluttering gently.

"What are you confused about?"

Zhang Yi squinted, thinking about many things.

“In the past, we always believed that the source of power in the entire universe came from the ether.”

"However, the discovery of the earth centipede proves that they can convert the energy of matter into supernatural abilities."

"Moreover, we have discovered so many underground civilizations that have occupied a large amount of energy resources. But the total amount of ether fragments in the entire universe does not seem to have increased much."

"And we can use this bio-factory to cheat and obtain more Ether fragments."

"Or perhaps... there are other forms of power besides the ether?"

Zhang Yi's centipede farm is still running. Every day, frogs feed the fat centipedes with a large amount of elemental stone ore.

They grow extremely fast. Apart from being unable to break through the limits of Epsilon, they have almost no bottlenecks. As long as they keep eating, they can smoothly grow to the level of 9999 points in ability index.

Then, it was harvested and collected, transformed into a bottle of energy, which was used to enhance the strength of Zhang Yi and others.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Ke'er: "I think if we can figure this out, we might be able to become stronger faster, instead of just plundering and killing each other like we are now."

Zhou Ke'er suddenly realized: "You're planning to develop new energy sources?"

"It's easier said than done!"

Zhang Yi sighed, "Over the past 4.6 billion years, those ancient civilizations must have tried various ways to become stronger. But in the end, they all ended up hunting each other to obtain fragments of ether."

"Take the Earth Centipede for example; its growth is also limited. Without the source of the gods or the spirit of the ritual, it cannot break through the limits of Epsilon."

"But they... are like a bug."

"I have a feeling that if my discovery is correct, once we find the answer to this question, perhaps we can escape the control of the Creator and the fate of being trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation."

Zhou Ke'er was amazed by Zhang Yi's imagination. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she gently rested her head on Zhang Yi's shoulder.

"Zhang Yi, you are truly a genius!"

Zhang Yi shrugged and laughed, "I always have!"

The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down.

Zhang Yi only had a guess, but couldn't confirm it, so for now he should focus on improving his strength.

In the following period, the entire Huaxu Kingdom grew at an alarming rate.

The resources, technology, and quality of superhumans allocated by Zhang Yi to the six major regions have all been greatly improved.

Especially in Tianhai City.

Zhang Yi led his men back to their old haunts in Tianhai City. Although the place had once again turned into ruins, rebuilding it was quite simple.

Because human labor is almost no longer needed, these engineered mechanical lifeforms can quickly create bricks, concrete, and bulletproof glass using existing materials.

Materials were salvaged from the ruins to cast steel bars.

The new Tianhai City has risen from the ground for the Nth time, larger and more prosperous than before.

The Shadow Squad trained by Baili Changqing suffered 32 casualties after being tempered in the great battle.

The casualty rate was not low, but those who survived also grew significantly and developed a resolute and ruthless fighting spirit.

Zhang Yi had no shortage of resources, so he immediately arranged for the centipedes to use their energy to grow.

Soon, the Shadow Squad will be able to grow into a group of skilled individuals with an ability index of over 9000 points.

Meanwhile, Yang Xinxin quickly made contact with the senior management of the six major regions.

"What? Chaos is demanding that we publicize his achievements to everyone in the entire region every single day, without interruption. What are we trying to do? To mold him into a god?"

"And the target image isn't even him personally, but rather a suit of armor? What's the point of doing that?"

The top officials of the six regions all expressed their incomprehension of this.

However, in the Southwest region, the burial master had some understanding after hearing this news.

Jueguo and Luozhuo readily agreed, saying, "We will place Lord Chaos's armor image directly in the Jokhang Temple, where it will be worshipped alongside the gods and Buddhas."

It is truly astonishing that the leader of Tantric Buddhism could possess such enlightenment.

However, in the eyes of the two brothers, what Zhang Yi did was no different from that of the Buddha. It was only natural for him to enjoy the offerings from his followers.

When the news reached Houtu in the Shengjing region, she murmured with some doubt, "Does Chaos intend to gather the willpower of the world and become stronger through faith? Has his thinking changed?"

Yang Xinxin's reply to them was very simple: "You just need to do as I ask. It won't do you any harm."

Currently, Zhang Yi's strength surpasses that of the entire Huaxu Kingdom.

Looking at the entire human world, it is probably in a class of its own.

His request was not unreasonable at all. The people from the six regions would naturally not make trouble for Zhang Yi over such a trivial matter.

Soon, every day, the news channels in the six major regions of Huaxu Kingdom, established to reassure the people, began to emphasize everything Zhang Yi had done for the people of Huaxu Kingdom, firmly imprinting his image in the armor of the demon god in the hearts of every Huaxu citizen.

……

The night sky is always deathly still, with only a few scattered, fragmented stars.

Beneath a sky shrouded in thick, dark clouds, long, tall, black trees grow in the forest, appearing as if they were dead.

There are no leaves, only the trunk and treetops, just like a simple line drawing, which are difficult to sway even when the wind blows.

Giant trees grow on massive mountain peaks, which are themselves a despairing black.

The mountains stand tall between cliffs, connected only by a few seemingly precarious stone bridges.

But in this seemingly deserted place, beautiful music could be heard.

Its melodious and graceful sound is like heavenly music.

The sound came from a withered forest.

A young girl dressed in a pure white dress sat on a rock, her eyes closed, listening quietly to the beautiful music, a blissful smile on her face.

The person playing the music was sitting right across from her.

Huge, dark, and twisted, it was a bizarre creature whose appearance could only be described in abstract terms, as if its entire body was shrouded in a layer of black mist.

But you can see his huge, ferocious claws, and the cold, hard bones extending from his twisted head.

The enormous monster sat opposite the girl, holding a long, strangely shaped musical instrument in its hands. It resembled a flute from the human world, but with fewer holes and looked much simpler, as if it had been handcrafted.

Even with such a simple instrument, the music played was no less than that of a seasoned musician.

Beneath this dark and lonely sky, accompanied by the cool evening breeze, a sense of tranquility and serenity is brought.

The girl in white listened to the monster's music, completely absorbed in it, her feet swaying and tapping out the rhythm with joy.

The combination of beauty and the beast is full of bizarre and absurd flavor.

Because anyone looking at her would think that the frail girl could be captured by that huge black monster at any moment.

The monster's enormous mouth could instantly chew the girl up and swallow her whole.

The monster opposite was exceptionally docile, and after finishing its music, it emitted a pleasant, deep sound.

"Meteor, let's keep going! Once we enter the Dark Sun Forest and find the Night Witch, we'll have a chance to heal your eyes. Then you'll be able to see the world clearly again."

The girl, Shunliuxing, immediately became happy.

"Really? That's great, Burning Bones! That way I can see your face clearly."

The girl jumped up from the rock, wanting to go over and touch Fen Gu's face.

Fen Gu hurriedly took two steps back and said nervously, "No, I'm not good-looking. You might be scared after seeing me."

Shunliuxing said, "It doesn't matter. No matter what you look like, I will never hate you. Because I heard how pure your soul is from your music."

The monster lowered its head, ashamed of the girl's words.

It is not pure at all; on the contrary, it is ferocious and ugly, the most filthy existence in the world.

Just as the two were talking, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance.

The darkness of the entire world was illuminated in an instant.

At the edge of the distant mountains, a dazzling silver light slowly emerges, flowing from afar like mercury spilling onto the ground.

The entire valley brightened, and the lingering dark fog was gradually suppressed.

The monster's expression changed instantly.

"Damn it, those damned Silver Knights are catching up!"

Beyond the mountains, on the vast plains, a mighty group of silver knights emerged.

They were clad in silver armor that was so perfect it resembled works of art, covering their entire bodies.

Holding various weapons, they glared menacingly ahead.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, waiting quietly for the stunningly beautiful female knight standing at the very front to give the order.

It was a woman so exquisitely crafted that it seemed as if she had been sculpted stroke by stroke by the most skilled sculptor, with a body proportion that was virtually indistinguishable from that of a human. If there was anything that made her different from humans, it was that her body proportions had reached a perfection that humans could not achieve.

That is why it became the standard by which the Creator would later shape new humans.

She wore silver armor, had a delicate, small face, and a pair of amber eyes with a sharp edge. Long silver hair cascaded down from the back of her head to her legs.

The Yihen Clan, the Radiant Moon Empire, the July Guardian General [Seven], Cherish the Moon and Flowing Years.

This is a perfect female warrior of the Ihen race; her extraordinary appearance alone is enough to show her exceptional qualities.

If Zhang Yi were here, her identity would be immediately recognizable.

Because her face has a kind of delicate, refined quality.

Xiyue Liunian stood at the edge of the mountains, looking at the vast and strange mountain range before her. The peaks, completely stained black, resembled sharp spikes and twisted monsters, immersed in endless black mist.

Her face seemed expressionless, but her eyes were filled with a sharp, sword-like intensity.

"Shadow Warrior, return the Meteor Shower! I may spare your life!"

Xiyue Liunian stretched out her left hand forward, as if demanding what was rightfully hers.

Upon hearing Xiyue Liunian's voice, Shunliuxing revealed a bright smile.

"It's Sister Xiyue Liunian!"

As she spoke, it seemed she wanted to go over there.

But Fen Gu shielded her behind him, saying, "Don't go over there, Meteor! She wants to kill you!"

His heart ached for Shunliuxing's innocent and carefree appearance.

Xi Yue Liu Nian calmly stated, "Becoming a spark is her destiny. Shadow Warrior, your Dark Moon Empire's priests have already reached an agreement with us. Are you doing this to be hunted down by both of our empires simultaneously?"

A strange laugh came from Burning Bones' mouth.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"To become a spark, her destiny—what a grand and righteous statement!"

"She has no reason to sacrifice herself for you! Xiyue Liunian, this is not the Radiant Moon Empire, but the Lost Forest! If you have the guts, come in!"

Xiyue Liunian seemed to be angered by this sentence.

Her face remained cold and expressionless, but with a clang, she drew her long sword from her waist.

The sacred moonlight rose as she raised her sword high, and descended as she brought it down!

"boom!!!"

Boundless holy light surged forth from the longsword, rushing directly into this dark and eerie mountain forest from a great distance!

The enormous body of Burning Bones stretched out, and facing General July's sword strike, it opened its ferocious maw, and its body also grew larger, but it was not a swelling of its body, but rather a layer of ink-like shadow emanating from its body.
