Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 249 Life Source Pool

Cultivating the spirit requires sufficient spiritual energy and abundant spiritual matter.

This world is already in its apocalypse, so obviously the conditions don't exist. Even if they did, they wouldn't be easy to obtain. Moreover, the fact that "fairies" don't exist in this world is enough to show that spiritual energy isn't abundant.

Even among humans in this world, those with the talent to control spirits are extremely rare; even those who unlock their genetic potential only possess some life-related talents.

If Bai Yuekui truly wants humanity to survive in the apocalypse, and even to achieve another leap in human life, then forging a new path is imperative!

The ancient inhabitants of this world developed human potential and controlled the essence of life, but modern humans do not possess this potential.

In this world, it is equally difficult to reach a high level in spiritual cultivation. Two essential things for spiritual cultivation are talent and resources.

Without these, they wouldn't even be able to touch immortals, let alone gods, and that's not the future either.

Qin Ming wanted to see if Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian could give him some surprises.

Arriving at the "Living Source Pool" below, Qin Ming pointed to the direction of the pool water and said, "I have studied some ancient methods of stimulating potential, relying on emotions to stimulate stronger potential within the body. However, human potential is limited by genes. Even before the collapse of order, the process of human research on genes had already reached its end."

“Hmm.” Bai Yuekui nodded, and at the same time said to Bai Yuetian, “About a few years ago, although ‘Nirvana’ Biotechnology Company claimed to have developed a third-generation gene enhancer, it actually only increased strength for military use, without fundamentally improving human genes. It would even accelerate cell metabolism, and the side effect would shorten the lifespan of ‘evolved humans’.”

Bai Yuetian listened attentively. Although he knew these things, his brain had been removed for too many years, and his soul was too weak. He was always in a daze and couldn't receive much information at all.

"Later, the Great Cataclysm broke out, the Mana ecosystem spread, and the Devouring Beasts began to appear. Humanity was powerless to resist and had no choice but to choose interstellar migration. They did so under the banner of continuing the human race and not abandoning anyone, but..."

Bai Yuekui hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Qin Ming then stated directly, "But in reality, those high-ranking officials had no plans to initiate interstellar migration at all. They built numerous underground, ocean, and even sky-based shelters. While concentrating all of humanity's resources before the apocalypse, they were indeed attempting to develop interstellar spaceships. However... do you think finding a planet suitable for human habitation is that easy?"

Qin Ming stopped a short distance from the Pool of Life.

The surrounding plants swayed gently around the pool as if in a rhythm, emitting a faint life essence.

Bai Yuekui didn't speak, but only sighed. This was the truth.

For humanity to achieve interstellar colonization, the two most important aspects are: firstly, the interstellar spacecraft, which must be able to reach another habitable planet before the end of human lifespan.

The second goal is to find a planet suitable for human habitation in the boundless universe.

Unfortunately, even with the help of super artificial intelligence, which enabled a second technological explosion, the time left for humanity was far too short. The so-called interstellar migration was essentially just a dream woven by humans.

All it was for was to give humanity a glimmer of hope in times of despair.

Bai Yuetian looked at the strange behavior of the people around him with some surprise, "What are they doing...?"

Bai Yuekui saw through it and explained, "In the apocalypse, resources are scarce, and they have been struggling on the brink of death for far too long. When a pure land suddenly appears here, they naturally regard it as a miracle... However..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Ming, and in fact, she also thought it was no different from a miracle.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a situation arose on the scene.

A man in the crowd jumped into the pool of life and swam to the tree. His face was contorted with madness, piety, and greed. He shouted, "This is a miracle! God gave us this paradise! The end times have come, but God has mercy on humanity! God has not abandoned mankind!"

After saying that, he slowly opened his arms, a gesture that inexplicably gave him the air of a charlatan.

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the orderly people around him actually knelt down, as if triggering a chain reaction, and everyone began to kneel down.

Seeing this, Qin Ming shook his head slightly. Although he did not oppose this way of using faith to unite the will of mankind in order to survive in the apocalypse.

At least comparatively speaking, this method can indeed ensure the maximum survival of humanity in the apocalypse.

But he has no intention of becoming a "master of light and shadow" or anything like that.

Pointing to the pool in front of him, he said to Bai Yuekui and his sister, "This 'Life Source Pool' was purified from the life source essence of a king-level Devouring Beast, and it can meet your needs for the first stage of spiritual cultivation."

"Thank you."

"Um, please..."

Bai Yuetian had just awakened and only had a vague understanding of spiritual cultivation and ancient methods for stimulating potential. He was about to ask when Qin Ming had already transformed into a wisp of spiritual matter and disappeared.

Bai Yuekui took out the scroll and examined it. As he walked to the pool, he casually took off his coat, turned around and said, "Brother, let me first teach you how to unleash your potential. Get ready."

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Yuetian smiled and said confidently, "Come on, don't forget, your brother here is a very good fighter, this body is simply perfect."

"Ah……"

Bai Yuekui's lips curled into a smile as he uttered a phrase in ancient language whose meaning was unclear. A life essence emanated from his body, transforming into a shockwave that blasted towards Bai Yuetian.

"...Pfft!! Ah!!"

Bai Yuetian's screams echoed throughout the valley.

To unleash your life's potential, you naturally need to first reach your body's limits, and then surpass them!

This is how you unlock your life's potential.

……

A few days later, Bai Yuetian successfully found a way to unlock life's potential, namely the ancient Guiyuan Secret Method, which allows people to freely control the life essence within their bodies.

This allows for the slowing down or speeding up of cell metabolism, resulting in a significant increase in strength and speed, and the attainment of power beyond human limits!

In the ruins of a city.

Bang! Boom!

Bai Yuetian is indeed very talented in combat. As a senior police officer in the Joint Police Bureau, he is an elite among humans and adapts very quickly.

"Help me!!"

After dealing with one of the snake-dogs, Bai Yuetian looked up at Bai Yuekui high above, about to show off, but Bai Yuekui gestured for him to look around. When he turned his head, he found that more than a dozen snake-dogs were crawling out of the ruins from all directions!

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yuetian turned and ran.

They quickly led the snake dog to the side of a tilted building. Bai Yuekui followed closely behind from a high vantage point. Standing on the top of the building, he lit a cigarette and, seeing that the snake dog had entered the tilted area, casually grabbed a bomb from the side.

Beep beep beep...!

Boom! !

The building collapsed with a roar, burying more than a dozen snake dogs instantly. Bai Yuetian ran out from the ruins.

"Cough cough cough..."

He plopped down on the ground, saying wearily, "This 'Return to Origin' technique is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy. What that person said was indeed right; this method is not suitable for us humans."

Bai Yuekui glanced at him, nodded, took out a water bottle and handed it to Bai Yuetian, saying, "These life essences can quickly replenish life essence, but they can only be used in one place, and they will run out sooner or later. It's not a long-term solution. We need to find another method as soon as possible. This is humanity's only chance right now."

"Um……"

Bai Yuetian nodded, his gaze solemn.

Qin Ming has already given them the direction; as for how to do it and whether they can do it, that's up to them.
