Lin Xian and his group discuss the implications of the Dark Civilization’s actions, realizing that survival will likely depend entirely on the Doomsday Train. Meanwhile, Chen Sixuan experiences a surge in power and has a terrifying nightmare, while Lin Xian heads to investigate changes in the Hibernation Pods, where Sha Sha finds something concerning about KIKI’s pod.
“Brother Lin, Sister Kiki, what is happening? Is this normal?” Lin Xian hurried over upon hearing this, with Ding Junyi and Chen Sixuan following closely. Shi Zhi also joined them. The group congregated around Kiki’s hibernation pod, and a subtle shift in their expressions occurred as they witnessed the scene within. Kiki, positioned inside the hibernation pod, had her eyes open. A beauty profound and boundless shimmered in her pupils, a swirling vortex of countless radiant shadows reminiscent of a galaxy. It was both breathtakingly grand and undeniably eerie. “When the crimson sky descended moments ago, she suddenly opened her eyes,” Shi Zhi stated, a hint of worry in her voice. “I examined her condition—everything appears stable. Her spiritual power is more consolidated than ever. However, it’s strange; when I attempted to connect with her using my superpower, I detected a peculiar… fluctuation.” “A fluctuation?” Lin Xian’s brow furrowed. “Yes,” Shi Zhi elaborated, searching for the right words. “It’s unlike anything I’ve encountered before. It felt as though… another entity was responding to me.” Chen Sixuan immediately turned to Lin Xian, her voice laced with concern, “Lin Xian, could there be an issue?” Lin Xian shook his head, his gaze fixed on Kiki. “Even if there is a problem, we cannot perceive it. Each individual’s crystalline evolution is accompanied by unique occurrences. Given that Kiki possesses a rare telekinetic ability, it’s unlikely to be a simple process. We should wait and observe; it shouldn’t be much longer.” Chen Sixuan nodded in understanding. Shortly thereafter, several other hibernation pods hissed open one by one—Luo Yang, Xiao Qing, Ah Bai—all successfully completing their crystalline evolution. Shielded by Lin Xian’s Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube and his custom-built Dark Energy Homogeneous System, and under the diligent care of Shi Zhi, their progress was remarkably smooth. Luo Yang’s strength surged from 6300 to 13800, while Ah Bai climbed from 6900 to 15500. The most remarkable transformation was Xiao Qing, a genetic evolver whose power leaped from over 7000 to an astonishing 16800, a massive increase. Among these three, only Ah Bai exhibited particularly unusual changes. His eyes had turned completely black, lending him a somewhat fearsome appearance. While this eliminated his need for sunglasses to regulate his vision, the visual effect was undeniably unsettling. Consequently, Ah Bai continued to wear the specialized laser glasses that Lin Xian had crafted for him. Following Xiao Qing’s crystalline evolution, which pushed her power close to 17000, her typically stoic demeanor seemed imbued with an almost palpable excitement. Though subtle, Lin Xian perceived it immediately and suggested she assist with external duties, anticipating potential threats. The Sword Girl readily agreed, gripping her Gun Blade before turning to exit, a faint smile gracing her lips, hinting at her eagerness for combat. Lin Xian and the others continued their vigil for nearly another hour, yet Kiki showed no signs of awakening. By this time, it was already midday. The tempestuous seas outside had subsided, and the Sky Dome Train had emerged from the storm zone. The ocean below gleamed under the sun, and a formidable dark curtain wall loomed on the western horizon. Throughout this period, Lin Xian meticulously monitored Kiki’s vital signs. The extended duration of her evolution surpassed that of Brother Huo’s, stirring a sense of unease within Lin Xian. “Lin Xian, her breathing is fading,” Chen Sixuan observed, her face etched with growing anxiety. Ding Junyi consulted the mobile terminal. “Her vital signs are also deviating from the norm.” Alarmed, Shi Zhi swiftly raised her hands, attempting to establish a psychic link with Kiki. “Her… her superpower seems to be… dispersing!?” “Kiki!” Lin Xian called out. Standing before the hibernation pod, Lin Xian’s gaze intensified as he observed the girl within. He detected a chilling fluctuation of dark energy within her violet, starlit vortex eyes. Then, almost involuntarily, his attention shifted upwards, catching a fleeting trace of the dark energy’s trajectory, reminiscent of the pure energy released after the Hell Black Chrysanthemum’s conversion of dark energy. A sudden realization struck Lin Xian, accompanied by an unusual thumping sensation in his chest. He immediately turned towards the Dark Energy Synchronization Device he had installed nearby, pointing a decisive finger without uttering a word. In an instant, the protective device he had created was rapidly consumed by his Mechanical Devouring, disintegrating into fine powder. “Lin Xian, what are you doing?” “She needs to absorb dark energy!” As Lin Xian’s words left his lips, he felt a peculiar surge of previously contained dark energy coursing into Kiki’s eyes. A brilliant explosion of purple dark light erupted. As Lin Xian gazed into this intense luminescence, a powerful, consciousness-dragging force seized him, pulling him directly into a void of utter darkness! Whoosh~ Whoosh~ As if plummeting into an unfathomable abyss, an overwhelming sense of weightlessness enveloped him. Breaking free from the oppressive darkness, Lin Xian abruptly regained consciousness, only to find the surrounding scenery completely transformed!Beneath the shroud of night, the abandoned city presented an image both known and alien. Far away, on the horizon, a precise sequence of signal lights pulsed rhythmically, casting illumination upon the imposing steel fortifications encircling the metropolis. These faint lights appeared as symbols of mankind's existence, suffused with both reverence and a heavy sense of subjugation. Perched atop a skyscraper in the city's core, Lin Xian's eyes snapped open, his gaze fixed upon the strange, colossal entity above, a sight akin to a bizarre panorama. High above the heavens. A gargantuan, humanoid cadaver was suspended face-down in the sky, its immensity eclipsing both the sky and the sun. The section of its torso visible through the clouds, by rough estimation, stretched for a length exceeding ten kilometers! This enormous, levitating corpse remained utterly still, resembling a vast, floating landmass. Its entire form was a somber gray-black, with shriveled skin folds like deep valleys clearly discernible. Its vacant, jet-black eyes held no hint of life, yet they exuded a chilling aura of pressure as they simply loomed over the city's expanse. A strange, hushed murmur echoed near his ear. Lin Xian slowly tilted his head upward, directing his gaze into the bottomless eyes of the colossal corpse, and in that instant, the abyss seemed to be... Staring directly at him!
