Ding! Congratulations, Host, for overcoming the financial crisis and reaping massive shock value. Your bodily genes have been strengthened, and your divine body has risen to the ultimate form of the mid-Fourth Generation.
Listening to the system notifications, Lin Ye sighed.
He leaned back against the sofa and watched the Angel International staff celebrating with champagne, his eyes as deep and cold as an abyss.
As his divine body evolved into the Fourth Generation, the number of shocks required kept increasing.
Moreover, the breadth and depth of the people he needed to shock would gradually increase as well.
For example, shocking a child used to raise the level of his divine body.
But that no longer worked. Now, he had to shock experienced adults.
The difficulty was nothing like before.
Besides the quality of the shock, he also needed a greater quantity of it.
"Going to great lengths to shock others is only treating the symptoms."
"If I truly want to improve my divine body, I still need to develop divine body technology of my own."
Lin Ye lowered his gaze in thought and looked at Yan beside him, who had changed into a black business suit.
If he wanted to take a different path, it would be best to seek experience and breakthroughs from divine body technology that had already been proven effective.
In that case, Yan of Angel Civilization, as the Angel Left Wing guard, possessed the most advanced Third Generation Divine Body.
Yan, beside him, noticed Lin Ye's burning gaze, and a teasing glint appeared in her eyes.
Over the past few days, Lin Ye had been looking at her more and more often.
Before long, he would probably be like other male creatures and fall at her feet.
If that happened, more than half of the task Queen Kaisha had assigned her would be complete.
"Yan, can I discuss something with you?"
"Hm?"
Yan raised a glass of red wine, looked at Lin Ye with interest, and smiled. "Is there actually something Great Demon King Lin Ye needs to discuss with me?"
Great Demon King? Those angels had to be smearing his name.
Hearing Yan's form of address, Lin Ye could not help pursing his lips before getting to the point. "I want to examine your body. I want to see whether I can crack you."
"Crack?"
"Here?"
Yan looked at Lin Ye strangely, crossed her long legs clad in business trousers, and exclaimed, "That wouldn't be appropriate, Lin Ye. Everyone is watching."
"I..."
Lin Ye was speechless. He did not know why, but after breaking free of Holy Kaisha's restraints, Yan seemed like a completely different person.
Especially after coming to Earth, she had become exceptionally good at flirting with people.
Many times, she had left Lin Ye unable to save face.
"I meant cracking your divine body. What were you thinking?" Lin Ye sighed.
I, Lin Ye, am an upright gentleman.
Other than a heart that longs to grow stronger, I have nothing.
"Hehe, crack my divine body? Rather than believe you can crack a divine body, I'd sooner believe you want to break through my body."
Yan appraised Lin Ye from head to toe in a teasing tone.
Divine bodies were the pinnacle of Queen Kaisha's and Sky Base King Hexi's technological achievements.
Even if Lin Ye could crack the Sky Base King's system,
could he really crack the divine body technology jointly possessed by Queen Kaisha and the Sky Base King?
"Give me one night." Lin Ye did not want to trade barbs with Yan and instead spoke seriously.
Seeing how earnest he was, Yan was slightly surprised. "Do you really want to try? What do you need me to do?"
Lin Ye did not answer. He reached out and directly grasped Yan's hand.
He immediately activated the Concept Rewrite Engine.
Concept Rewrite Engine activation complete. Command: Crack Angel Yan's Third Generation Angel Divine Body. Target is an exceptional angel warrior of Angel Civilization. Her divine body is of considerable caliber. Third Generation Divine Body cracking difficulty is extremely high. Required time: five days. Connecting to the Heavenly Blade System. Connection complete. Efficiency increased by 1000%. Recalculating cracking time: 12 hours. Cracking in progress...
The Concept Rewrite Engine's activation notifications echoed in Lin Ye's mind.
Twelve hours.
Then it would need to run at high efficiency for twelve hours, possibly consuming thousands of Sophons.
When that happened, he would have to waste time handcrafting Sophons again.
He wondered whether he could make a device or artificial intelligence to handcraft Sophons in the future, where he would only need to provide materials and maintenance.
After briefly considering it, Lin Ye began planning his next steps.
Yan, the target being cracked, had become completely stiff, as if invisible threads had bound all four of her limbs.
Lin Ye was like a puppeteer, controlling her body. Every inch of her skin, even every molecule, was laid bare before his eyes.
A feeling of being completely seen washed over Yan. A blush appeared on her cheeks, yet she could not even make an angry expression.
What exactly is Lin Ye doing?!
My mind can move, but my body cannot move at all!
Did he drug me somehow, or does his palm possess some special ability?!
No matter what, don't let me move, or you'll regret it!
And so, Yan remained rigidly controlled by Lin Ye in Angel International's top-floor executive office.
A day and a night passed.
When night fell on the second day,
Linna arrived outside the executive office.
She held a document containing information from the internet.
It recorded the horrifying incidents that had occurred on Earth over the past few days.
The culprit was not human, but a crocodile wielding two axes.
"Just how much longer will Mr. Lin Ye and Yan need? A whole day and night has passed. That's way too impressive."
"Is this an angel's stamina?"
"Still, the situation is urgent this time. I have to make preparations in advance."
Linna thought to herself, her gaze gradually becoming firm as she reached out and grasped the doorknob.
She gave it a gentle push.
The door creaked open.
At the same time, a brilliant streak of blue lightning flashed through the dim light around the sofa where Lin Ye sat.
Crackle!
Blue arcs of electricity danced endlessly.
Yan opened her eyes and discovered that Lin Ye had finally released her. She could finally move again.
"Lin Ye, I don't care what you did to me, but imprisoning an angel means I still have to—"
Before she could finish her threat, Yan saw blinding lightning flickering across Lin Ye's body.
That radiance was extremely similar to the Thunder Gene within her body!
Could it be?!
An ominous feeling rose from the depths of her heart.
Yan felt that the Lin Ye before her seemed different from before, possessing a mystery she could not comprehend.
It was as though an invisible barrier stood between her and Lin Ye.
She had only ever felt this way when Queen Kaisha and the Sky Base King entered the Heavenly Blade System!
And now, Lin Ye carried that same feeling!
Buzz!
A surge of dancing electric arcs erupted from Lin Ye's entire body. Amid the blinding flashes, his form continuously shattered and reassembled.
Yan cracked successfully. You have obtained partial knowledge of the Sub-biological Engine, a detailed explanation of the Thunder Gene, and a detailed explanation of the Third Generation Divine Body! Sophons consumed this time: 8,000. The Heavenly Blade System has been shut down.
At those words, knowledge he could call upon suddenly appeared in Lin Ye's mind.
So this is the Thunder Gene Yan possesses, along with the Sub-biological Engine and information on the Third Generation Divine Body?
After understanding, Lin Ye immediately added the Thunder Gene to himself and used the Concept Rewrite Engine to drive the transformation of his body.
At the same time, his divine body rapidly strengthened by utilizing the knowledge of the Third Generation Divine Body.
His divine body charged from the Fourth Generation Divine Body toward the even higher Fifth Generation Divine Body!
