Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1304 - 638: Obtaining the Heart Core and Brain Core

Swish, swish, swish...

A multitude of ice blades suddenly froze mid-air.

Liang Yuan sneered, demanding, "Hand it over!"

Pei Yuanhu, feeling cornered, inquired, "If I give it to you, will you release me?"

"Naturally. Eliminating you would provoke the military. If I can steer clear of engaging in war with them, I'd prefer not to," Liang Yuan stated with a smile.

Pei Yuanhu contemplated Liang Yuan's words and concluded that the man likely had reservations about confronting the military.

With a sigh, he reluctantly extracted his heart core and brain core.

As the two aqua-blue crystal cores floated out,

Liang Yuan gestured, instantly securing them within his Sumeru Ring.

Having obtained the heart and brain cores of the Miyuan Rainforest, Liang Yuan addressed Pei Yuanhu, "Not bad. Since you've cooperated, I won't make things difficult for you."

With that, he waved his hand and retrieved a head, resembling a fleshy mass, from his Sumeru Ring.

"This is for you."

Pei Yuanhu was momentarily stunned, then a look of delight crossed his face.

"The Tidal Main Brain!"

This Tidal Main Brain held a fragment of his spiritual origin.

Its loss would severely deplete his Spiritual Power, necessitating a lengthy recovery period.

Recovering it would significantly expedite his healing process.

Liang Yuan tossed the Tidal Main Brain directly to him.

Pei Yuanhu quickly extended his hand to catch it.

He then placed his hand upon the Tidal Main Brain, reconnecting with the spiritual origin within.

In the subsequent moment, a blue-white cluster of energy rapidly detached and swiftly integrated into his mind.

Upon the successful reintegration of this spiritual fragment, Pei Yuanhu's aura immediately intensified.

His overall presence surged dramatically.

His previously languid physique appeared to gain a noticeable degree of robustness.

His eyes grew sharper, radiating vitality.

Pei Yuanhu casually discarded the now-mushy Tidal Main Brain and regarded Liang Yuan, clasping his fists in gratitude, "Thank you."

Liang Yuan inquired calmly, "You don't harbor resentment? I was the one who annihilated your Water God Sect."

Pei Yuanhu let out a light chuckle, "To me, the Water God Sect was merely a tool. In truth, I never personally managed its affairs."

"It was all driven by the ambitions of the Four Great Priests seeking expansion. For me, nothing is more captivating than transcending my own limitations and pursuing continuous evolution."

"We live in an era unlike any other, and I must devote all my focus and time to my personal evolution."

"Perhaps we can shatter the formidable constraints of evolution, even defying the boundaries of life itself, venturing into the cosmic expanse, and attaining eternal existence!"

"Compared to such grand pursuits, the petty power struggles of the Water God Sect seem infantile, don't you agree?"

Pei Yuanhu laughed, appearing genuinely unfazed by the downfall of the Water God Sect.

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing the man's remarkably clear-sighted perspective.

Indeed, isn't the accumulation of personal immense power more rewarding than merely building an influence?

Naturally, establishing an influence is crucial. A dedicated force is necessary to better facilitate focus on cultivating Superpower.

However, deep within Liang Yuan's eyes, a subtle, different glint flickered.

This spiritual origin had long been infused with a parasitic species by him!

With his current formidable Spiritual Power, Pei Yuanhu was utterly incapable of detecting it!

Liang Yuan waved his hand, and with a whoosh, they both exited the Sumeru Space.

Their reappearance was immediately noted by Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong.

They moved swiftly, quickly positioning themselves to flank Liang Yuan from the front and rear.

Liang Yuan cast a glance at the pair and asked evenly, "Are you intending to impede me?"

"Mr. Liang, you are aware of the dire situation within the Celestial Abyss. We require Pei Yuanhu's assistance at this juncture. Under no circumstances can you escort him away!" Zhang Yujiang declared with gravity.

Feng Jiangong added with indignation, "Liang Yuan! I had assumed you possessed greater wisdom. We should not be adversaries!"

"Those monstrous mutated beasts in the sky represent a common threat!"

Liang Yuan turned his gaze towards Pei Yuanhu, "Which particular eye of yours perceived that I was taking him away?"

Pei Yuanhu immediately stepped forward, letting out a sigh, "Commander Zhang, Brigadier Feng, I have already surrendered the brain core and heart core from the Miyuan Rainforest."

Both Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang were taken aback.

Zhang Yujiang inquired with surprise, "You are willing to relinquish the Brain Core?"

Feng Jiangong expressed equal shock, "Did you not previously maintain a firm stance against handing it over?"

Pei Yuanhu offered a wry smile, shaking his head, offering no verbal explanation.

Refusal meant certain death, so his prior reluctance was understandable, yet he ultimately had no alternative.

Liang Yuan stated calmly, "Gentlemen, the matter is concluded. I shall not linger. Farewell."

He turned to depart.

"Wait!"

Zhang Yujiang called out hastily.

Liang Yuan paused and turned his head, looking back at him.

Zhang Yujiang urgently declared, "Mr. Liang, you just witnessed the grim reality within the Celestial Abyss. Each time it breaches, formidable creatures with gene recombinant-level might invade."

"Are you not at all curious about what lies beyond the Thundercloud? Those ethereal Floating Islands, this expanse of Thundercloud, and these relentless floods – do they not fill you with awe?"

Liang Yuan inquired, "You wish for me to collaborate with you in safeguarding the Celestial Abyss passage?"

Zhang Yujiang faltered. He had yet to voice his request, and Liang Yuan had already discerned his intentions.

"Currently, Yangshan and our faction are the sole powers remaining in Guangfu. If we fail to unite, how can we possibly contend with the formidable creatures emerging from the Celestial Abyss?"

Liang Yuan countered with a slight shake of his head, stating, "It is a futile endeavor. The Celestial Abyss passage is by no means exclusive to Cloud Mist Island; other apertures must surely exist elsewhere."

"However, if no one is vigilant at these other locations, it implies that those Celestial Abyss creatures should have already infiltrated our world."

"Instead of squandering our efforts here, we ought to dedicate every moment to swiftly amplifying our capabilities, thereby ensuring our survival within this Flood World."

Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong were instantly rendered speechless.

Liang Yuan observed the pair, then let out a chuckle, remarking, "Or perhaps there is some inescapable obligation compelling you both to remain and defend this place?"

Zhang Yujiang explained, "The floodwaters have frozen solid. Even if we were to abandon Cangqiong Mountain, Cloud Mist Island itself is unlikely to drift away. We are effectively trapped here now."

Liang Yuan scrutinised him intently before suddenly laughing, asking, "Then why did you not depart prior to the onset of winter?"

Zhang Yujiang sighed, confessing, "We harbored aspirations of exploring the conditions above the Thundercloud via the Celestial Abyss channel."

Liang Yuan understood this to be their genuine objective.

Their continued presence near the Celestial Abyss stemmed from a desire to leverage it as a staging ground for a counteroffensive against the world above the Thundercloud and to unravel the mysteries of the heavens.

Liang Yuan, naturally, also sought to comprehend the situation beyond the Thundercloud, but he was acutely aware that he currently lacked the requisite power to undertake such an exploration.

The military commanded a significant force, capable of repelling the incursions of Celestial Abyss entities.

The combined might of hundreds of energy cannons could even obliterate the Golden Crow Beast directly.

Yangshan currently possessed no weaponry on such a grand scale.

Therefore, the paramount priority was to bolster his own combat prowess and elevate Yangshan's technological advancement.

Upon his return this time, he intended to accumulate sufficient Points, then concentrate on acquiring a variety of Rune Weapons to spearhead a large-scale upgrade of Yangshan's Rune Technology!

Liang Yuan avowed, "I possess self-awareness; currently, Yangshan lacks the strength to explore the domain above the Thundercloud."

"We require more time, unless you are prepared to reveal all your research data and lend your assistance to usher in a revolution in Yangshan's Rune Technology."

Zhang Yujiang immediately fell silent.

The notion was laughable; without any demonstrable benefits, how could he possibly permit Yangshan to freely acquire and exploit their meticulously developed weapon systems?

Liang Yuan offered a soft chuckle, saying nothing further, only remarking, "Commander Zhang, please take your time to deliberate. Yangshan has numerous pending matters. Farewell."

His form blurred, and he rapidly departed, swiftly escorting Zhao Kai away from the vicinity of Cloud Mist Island.

Both Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong watched Liang Yuan's retreating figure, their brows furrowed.

Feng Jiangong couldn't help but voice his disbelief, "Can it be that there truly exists someone indifferent to exploring the secrets that lie above the heavens?"

"This matter pertains to the very origin of the Flood; is he genuinely devoid of any curiosity?"

Zhang Yujiang offered a slight shake of his head, responding, "He is not lacking in curiosity, merely more composed."

"He is quite an unusual individual."

At that moment, his gaze shifted to Pei Yuanhu, who stood not far away. He inquired, "Why did you agree to relinquish the Heart Core and Brain Core to him? We implored you for a considerable duration back then, yet you remained unyielding."

Pei Yuanhu managed a wry smile, lamenting, "Had I refused to yield them, he would have undoubtedly killed me; what recourse did I possess?"

"Would he truly dare?" Feng Jiangong exclaimed.

Pei Yuanhu shook his head, stating gravely, "He absolutely dared."

With that, he proceeded to recount the events that had transpired within the Sumeru Space.

Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang promptly fell into a contemplative silence.

"What a formidable Liang Yuan of Yangshan, he truly did not betray any fear of us turning against him!" Feng Jiangong remarked, his expression darkening.

Zhang Yujiang added, "As you observed today, his gene recombination manifests in two distinct forms."

"Among them, the combat prowess of that Ice Bear is in no way inferior to your atomic dinosaur form."

"And that serpentine form wields a potent spiritual attack, equally mysterious and formidable."

"Should a confrontation truly arise, could you defeat him on your own?"

"This..."

Feng Jiangong felt a pang of hesitation. If it had only been Liang Yuan's Ice Bear form, he believed he could still put up a fight. However, with Liang Yuan now possessing an additional gene form, his confidence wavered considerably.

Witnessing this, Zhang Yujiang gave a slight shake of his head. "The first time Liang Yuan fought you, he was at a disadvantage, and yet in just over two months, he has ascended to this level."

"This individual possesses an exceptionally formidable talent for cultivating superpowers."

"It would be best not to make an enemy of him; forging an alliance would be the wiser course of action."

"Our next priority should be to thoroughly explore the regions above the Thundercloud."

"Furthermore, you must accelerate the progress of your own gene recombination."

"The carcass of the Golden Crow Beast will provide us with sufficient material for study for an extended period."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiangong nodded in agreement. "It is indeed time for another concerted effort. My gene recombination progress has remained stubbornly stagnant at 10% for more than two months now."

"By the way, what is the status of the gene identifier project?" Feng Jiangong inquired.

Zhang Yujiang shook his head slowly. "It is exceedingly difficult. Human genes are as vast and complex as the ocean, and the identifier can only perform broad classification recognition. Achieving precision is proving to be an immense challenge."

"Even general recognition would be sufficient; it would conserve a significant amount of my energy when perceiving genetic attributes."

Having spoken, Feng Jiangong turned his gaze back to Pei Yuanhu. "Pei Yuanhu, your efforts this time have been commendable. While the gene identifier's role might be minor, it still serves a purpose."

"You should also attempt to use it."

Pei Yuanhu's eyes instantly brightened. "I can utilize the gene identifier? That device consumes a rather substantial amount of energy."

Zhang Yujiang chuckled. "Go ahead and use it. The Golden Crow Beast's carcass will furnish us with ample energy support."

"Additionally, the considerable quantity of Superpower Stones we extracted is more than enough to fuel multiple operations of the gene identifier."

"Thank you, Commander! Thank you, Brigadier!"

Pei Yuanhu exclaimed with unbridled excitement.

With the recovery of Spiritual Origin, coupled with this invaluable opportunity to employ the gene identifier.

He harbored a fervent belief that perhaps, this time, he could truly achieve a monumental breakthrough in gene recombination!
