The alarm blared.
In an instant, the red lights in the room where the high priest was imprisoned lit up. The man, with sharp eyes and a pistol in his hand, led the high priest outside.
The entire detention facility was in complete chaos.
The man helped the high priest to an open square, where more than a dozen armed men stood guard, guns in hand, watching the two with serious expressions.
The man glanced at the high priest and said seriously, "Hurry, the Third Special Zone is in complete chaos."
"Take that baby back to Great Xia. Someone will meet you there. Don't try to escape, or you won't survive even with your current identity."
"Remember, Great Xia is not your enemy."
"Our enemies are now those monsters and other nations outside. We hope you will keep your promise."
"Great Xia needs you, and it needs your information even more."
The high priest nodded. She naturally understood; she wasn't stupid. Although she didn't understand why the baby would appear and disappear beside her, the baby was her lifeline.
If he could prove that the baby was the source of the chaos, he could unravel the chain of relationships and survive safely.
But what was happening now was beyond her comprehension. This baby was like a Ghost Infant that she couldn't shake off, and it had even stuck to her body. But it was for the best, at least she could rely on it to survive.
So... what will people think of me when I return to Great Xia this time?
Monster? Or test subject?
After all, only he himself knew the source of this chaos.
The high priest could only smile wryly as he boarded the helicopter bound for Great Xia, trying to figure out how to explain this process that was beyond his comprehension.
The helicopter then departed.
The red light in the entire Third Special Zone grew stronger and stronger until it finally exploded.
The man who protected the high priest as he departed was also engulfed in flames.
On the helicopter hovering high above.
The high priest stared blankly at the world in disbelief... What on earth had happened?
The land was ravaged, littered with corpses—animals and the monsters that had attacked him earlier. They had died in neat rows, almost forming a circle around the already exploded Third Special Zone.
The high priest murmured to himself, "Could it be this infant?"
"These monsters want to take the baby away?"
This explains why, despite being interrogated relentlessly and knowing nothing, they refused to let him go.
Because those monsters were coming for him.
It shouldn't be said that this is the child who came.
What exactly is this child?
Why do those Eerie Monsters become so obsessed?
A reckless charge?
Everything was unknown, which was why the man wanted her to return to the Great Xia Dynasty, because only there could she be protected, and he could also study how babies are born.
In the laboratory.
The High Priestess has returned to the Great Xia, but she is not being treated well. She quickly became a guinea pig for the researchers, since the only surviving researcher brought back an infant born from those monsters.
All of this aroused the curiosity of many researchers, who all wanted to find out the source of everything.
The high priest, crouching on the pristine white bed, looked at the researchers outside the glass window and said, "No, you can't do this."
"If we let that child grow up, he will destroy everything."
"He's the one we brought back from that meteorite."
"He's the root of everything. Perhaps only his death can end it all. What you're doing is undoubtedly inviting disaster; you'll die by your own hand sooner or later!"
The researchers outside the glass window weren't listening to her; instead, they were discussing something extremely frightening.
"Section Chief Bai, the blood extracted from this baby is undoubtedly normal, but through multiple experiments, we found it to be exactly the same as the blood of those Mutation monsters."
"The results of the previous experiments are in. The child was burned, drowned... almost every method that could kill a normal person was used, but you should already know the outcome."
"Unkillable..."
"The methods known to humans that can kill any living being have no effect on him."
Section Chief Bai, wearing black-rimmed glasses, pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Was the blood injection experiment successful?"
The researcher standing nearby opened his mouth, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke.
"It was a success. The blood of the experimenter, Ms. Gu, fused with the child's, but no effect was observed."
Section Chief Bai's deep eyes fell on Ms. Gu, who was slumped on the bed. He knocked on the glass window a few times and asked in a somewhat cold tone, "Gu Qingyu, are you feeling unwell?"
"If you feel unwell, just let us know. We researchers will always be there for you."
We need you.
A few words, seemingly for her own good, were utterly cold.
The high priest stared intently at Section Chief Bai, gritting his teeth, but dared not utter a sound.
I have already confessed everything.
But they still became guinea pigs.
The infants were also stripped of their bodies by this group, unaware that they were being used in some kind of experiment, but it was definitely detrimental to them.
Escaping became her greatest wish.
Suddenly, that eerie voice rang in her ears again.
The world needs your sacrifice.
Willing or not?
"I can guarantee your survival, and even grant you immortality."
The high priest fell silent... staring at the pristine white sheets, then at his own hands, now riddled with needle marks, and quickly made his choice.
"I do."
"As long as we kill all those demons."
"I'd give anything for you."
A soft laugh echoed in my mind, saying slowly, "I will grant you the first sequence of immortality for the Human Race."
"But everything Shu says, does, and sees from now on will be at my command. Shu will be the first Eerie Race to witness all aspects of the world, and to see all its splendor fade away."
The rules are now in effect.
"Shuke sings the praises of my name, Lord of Rules."
In an instant, the high priestess's body underwent a dramatic transformation, with two horns sprouting from her forehead, gradually transforming her into her later form, though she was still very young at that moment.
Outside the glass window, Section Chief Bai's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze growing increasingly excited. This was a miracle!
Humans are actually turning into those monsters.
Does that mean humanity will finally be able to reach the universe without relying on scientific research?
Before he could speak, a detached voice echoed throughout the land. Countless people looked up and around, but no one spoke. It was as if the words were heard by everyone.
The rules are in effect.
"Reincarnation is established."
"Life is established."
"Human Race is permitted to eke out a living within the territory governed by the rules I have drawn; their experiences will become nourishment for their lives."
