Spirit learns about the dark administrator who activated the base self-destruct program and enlists Lu Dayou's help in finding him via the island's Brain Core. Meanwhile, the base's technology and personnel are secured. Spirit and Lu Dayou discuss Lu Yuyan's healing superpower and Lu Dayou recounts how he discovered the floating island and encountered Kerry Technology.

Lu Dayou asked a series of questions, somewhat excited.

Even the two behind him, Chu Liang and Zhang Yang, quickly looked at Liang Yuan.

They obviously also wanted to know what had happened over the past few months, and how a spaceship had appeared.

It seemed like the whole world had suddenly fast-forwarded from a post-apocalyptic setting to a sci-fi setting, which they couldn’t understand.

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed; the state and government probably no longer exist."

"At least Linjiang City is in a state of anarchy, and according to the information I received, places like Yu Province are the same."

"The forces you see now are new forces formed by the shelter communities."

"As for the spaceship, we developed it ourselves; indeed, there have been significant changes in the Flood World."

"After two years of development and change, people have gained a deeper understanding of superpowers, especially runes. We have now mastered a lot of rune technology."

"Together with our Yangshan research team, which consists of many high-tech talents from before the apocalypse, we applied these runes to spaceship manufacturing, shipbuilding, and so on. That’s why you see these kinds of aircraft now."

"What? You developed it yourselves?" Chu Liang couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhang Yang beside him also couldn’t help but widen his eyes: "Are you guys really that powerful?"

Lu Dayou also couldn’t help but say, "Has Yangshan developed to this extent already?"

Liang Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "The development speed of Yangshan is indeed quite fast, but of course, this is not solely the result of Yangshan’s own development."

"We have clashed with many forces and fought countless battles."

"From a primitive life of knife farming and fire, we gradually developed to what we are now. A lot happened during this time; I’ll tell you more if I have time later."

Lu Dayou nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, when we were in Meidu Garden, didn’t we see the military’s planes?"

"Is the military still around now?"

Liang Yuan said, "There’s only one military force in Linjiang City, over by Guangfu."

"However, the military force has been incorporated by us."

"What? The military has been incorporated by you?"

Lu Dayou was shocked and found it a bit unbelievable.

That was the military, how did they all get taken over by Liang Yuan and the others?

Lu Dayou didn’t understand.

Liang Yuan didn’t explain much further, only saying, "You’ll know when you get to Yangshan."

As they spoke, the group arrived in front of a cave.

Lu Dayou said, "Mr. Liang, from here you can go straight to the core of Divine Tree Island."

With that, he took the lead, leaping directly into the pit.

Liang Yuan didn’t hesitate; his figure flashed, effortlessly following along.

The two behind, Chu Liang and Zhang Yang, also immediately leaped down and followed.

In no time, the four of them landed.

Liang Yuan estimated that they had descended several kilometers in a straight drop.

This height was insignificant compared to the actual Divine Tree Island.

Liang Yuan guessed that there was even more space underground.

"By the way, what happened to the vine you climbed up with?"

Liang Yuan suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help asking.

If that vine still existed, wouldn’t many people be able to climb up from the Flood World?

Lu Dayou seemed to understand Liang Yuan’s thought and laughed: "After I refined the heart core of this Floating Island, I could control the terrain on Divine Tree Island."

"That vine is technically part of Divine Tree Island, so I used the power of the heart core to retract it back to the Inner Earth."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but be astonished and asked, "Doesn’t that mean you can always use the vine to return to the Flood World?"

Lu Dayou nodded but then shook his head, "It’s not that simple; the vine has a lifespan. Constantly entering the Thundercloud would cause significant damage."

"I have to use my superpower repeatedly to nurture it, ensuring it slowly recovers."

Upon saying this, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Sometimes I wonder if Divine Tree Island specifically chose me to be its owner."

"Because my ability happens to be able to nurture its vitality."

Liang Yuan was also taken aback, his mind wandering along with the thought.

Could the Floating Island be alive?

He quickly shook his head, "The Floating Island is essentially the corpse of some kind of Star Sky Giant Beast, long fallen, leaving only the heart core and brain core, so theoretically, there shouldn’t be any vitality."

Lu Dayou scratched his head: "Star Sky Giant Beast?"

He still didn’t know that the Floating Island was essentially formed from the corpse of some kind of giant beast.

This level of a corpse, as described by Ling Yurong and the others, belonged to a powerful mutant beast capable of surviving in the starry sky.

Liang Yuan briefly explained this knowledge to Lu Dayou.

Lu Dayou was amazed: "Is this actually a giant beast’s corpse?"

"Mr. Liang, can mutated beasts evolve to such a massive size in the end?"

Liang Yuan smiled, "Not just mutant beasts, we humans can also evolve to such a degree."

"I see your superpower energy is abundant and strong, has your Genetic Attribute Points reached 100?"

Lu Dayou nodded, "Yes, according to the folks at Carey Technology Company, I indeed have 100 points."

"I received genetic inheritance information from the heart core of Divine Tree Island, indicating the next step is genetic recombination."

"But until now, I can’t figure out how to start entering the Genetic Reorganization Realm."

He knew the next step was genetic recombination, but he had never found a way and didn’t understand the reason behind it.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "When you return to Yangshan, we have specialized machines that assist with breaking through gene recombination; they can help you."

Lu Dayou was instantly filled with surprise and joy: "Are there really such machines?"

He quickly realized that now Yangshan could hold its own against Carey Technology.

Mr. Liang and the others are also experts at the Genetic Reorganization Level, so it doesn’t seem odd that Yangshan has such technology.

He simply couldn’t imagine how Yangshan developed so quickly and at such a rapid speed.

While they were speaking, navigating through twists and turns, they soon arrived at the underground shelter of Lu Dayou and the others.

"Mr. Liang, this is where we live."

Liang Yuan looked around and saw the surroundings: everywhere was barren, with black woodland, each tree as massive as a telephone pole.

Liang Yuan took in the view, feeling that this woodland resembled the gastric regions inside other floating islands, and these trees were like the gastric villi.

In a distant corner, the black woodland was cleared, and wooden houses were built with humans living there.

Lu Dayou quickly led Liang Yuan over there.

Chu Liang and Zhang Yang had already run ahead.

"We’ve returned!"

"We’re back!"

Upon returning, the two immediately called out.

The two were excitedly aware that this time they could really leave the underground and return to the surface.

Soon, people came running over.

"Chu Liang! Zhang Yang! Are you back?"

"Liangzi, where’s Brother Lu?"

"Little Zhang, where is Brother Lu?"

"Liangzi, how’s the outside?"

"Seeing you so happy, is there good news?"

Everyone quickly gathered around, asking all sorts of questions.

At this moment, Liang Minru and Li Jiguang also arrived upon hearing the news, rushing over.

"Please make way, please make way." Li Jiguang hurriedly parted the crowd.

Liang Minru quickly looked at Chu Liang and Zhang Yang, scanning around, not seeing Lu Dayou behind them, and her expression subtly changed, asking eagerly, "Where is your Brother Lu?"

Before the two could speak, Lu Dayou was already catching up: "I’m here."

The heart she was holding dropped back into her stomach; she quickly approached, asking, "Did you encounter any difficulty?"

Lu Dayou smiled and said, "Look who this is."

He allowed Liang Yuan’s figure to come into view.

Liang Yuan looked at Liang Minru with a smile, somewhat reminiscing.

Unexpectedly, she was still around to see.

Liang Minru’s pupils widened, exclaiming incredulously: "Liang Yuan... Mr. Liang!"

She abruptly came to, quickly switching to address Liang Yuan as Mr. Liang.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It’s been a while."

Liang Minru’s face turned slightly pale; seeing Liang Yuan reminded her of some unsavory past events.

Back then, to survive, she had sold herself and was seen as a possession by the building tyrant Deng Hu, as one of three women sharing a husband.

After so long, sometimes she still dreams of those terrifying scenes.

Back then, Deng Hu was killed by Liang Yuan, and Liang Minru sought to survive by once again offering herself to Liang Yuan but was refused.

Later, she fell to the very bottom of Building 75, struggling to survive.

That was why she risked her life to bet on luck to go to Turtle Island.

Truthfully, after awakening her superpower, she wasn’t interested in Lu Dayou and Wen Lili’s desire to return to Liang Yuan’s shelter.

On the contrary, in this newly established shelter, everyone revered her as a goddess, giving her respect.

No one here knew her past; no one knew her past disgrace.

Yet seeing Liang Yuan again, her emotions weren’t excited or thrilled but rather fearful.

Fearful that her disgraceful past would be exposed.

Afraid her current identity and status would suddenly disappear.

"Liang... Mr. Liang."

Her lips trembled as she struggled to smile, greeting him.

Liang Yuan raised his brow slightly, unexpectedly realizing her complex emotions.

He felt she seemed somewhat unhappy to see him.

Liang Yuan’s thoughts turned as he noticed the surrounding people preferring to call her Miss Liang or Sister Ru.

He instantly understood some of her thoughts, feeling slightly amused.

"Mm, glad to see you all are still alive, it’s good." Liang Yuan said gently, expressing his warmth.

Liang Minru paused, involuntarily asking, "You still remember me?"

She assumed that among so many residents in Meidu Garden, having fallen to the lowest stratum, Liang Yuan wouldn’t likely remember someone like her.

But to her surprise, Liang Yuan indeed recalled her.

In her heart, a warmth she couldn’t describe welled up.

Lu Dayou timely spoke up, "Let’s not talk here, let’s head home; everyone disperse. If you have questions, talk to Chu Liang and Zhang Yang first; I’ll hold a meeting soon."

Everyone curiously looked at Liang Yuan, making way.
