Special Training Camp.
Trainees whose Gene Origin Energy had a wood attribute suddenly sensed the nearby cosmic energy becoming unusually active. Their efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy and converting it into Gene Origin Energy increased severalfold!
Three trainees were talking in the corridor when the one facing the window suddenly froze, disbelief appearing on his face.
The trainee in black asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Did the flowers outside bloom?"
The stunned trainee murmured softly, uncertainty in his voice. He seemed unable to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
"What?" asked the other trainee in purple.
"A lot of flowers have bloomed on the grassland!"
This time, the stunned trainee spoke firmly. He was certain he had not seen wrong. The flowers outside had indeed bloomed, but at an astonishing speed!
Hearing this, the purple-clad trainee looked out the window in confusion. When he saw the scene outside, he too froze.
Seeing his two companions standing there in a daze, the black-clad trainee grew displeased. "What's wrong with you two? Are you trying to mess with me?"
He thought his two companions were playing a trick on him. He had been fooled plenty of times before, and this time, no matter what they said, he would not fall for it.
The purple-clad trainee continued staring outside. "The flowers really are blooming, and they're blooming fast!"
"If you're still trying to fool me this time, just wait and see how I—"
Halfway through his sentence, the black-clad trainee turned around and stared wide-eyed out the window. He muttered, "So many flowers!"
Beyond the window lay a vast grassland. Just yesterday, green had still been its dominant color, but now, as far as they could see, the grassland was a riot of colors!
Red, purple, pink, yellow, white...
Flowers that bloomed at different times throughout the fourteen months of the year had all blossomed at this moment!
It was not merely flowers from different seasons blooming. The grassland was now brimming with life!
Seeds buried in the soil were taking root, sprouting, and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the end, they bloomed into beautiful flowers!
The strange phenomenon on the grassland was not seen only by the three of them.
Other trainees by the windows saw it as well. Many excitedly took out their communicators, either recording the miraculous scene or notifying friends to come witness it.
Governor's Office.
Lorenzo, who had been lowering his head to process documents, suddenly looked up toward the direction of Li Qi's room.
At that moment, surprise appeared in his eyes. "Law fluctuations!"
As a powerhouse who could break through to become a Domain Lord at any time, yet had remained at the Universe Level.
Lorenzo's attainments in his domain had already reached a high level, and his comprehension of the Laws had entered the beginner stage, allowing him to sense Law fluctuations.
Just moments ago, he had clearly sensed Law fluctuations appear, and they were within the Special Training Camp. He had already pinpointed the direction.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Lorenzo arrived at the door. Once it opened, he vanished in another flash, appearing at a corner dozens of meters away the next instant.
Standing at the corner, he stared in the direction where he had sensed the Law fluctuations earlier, his gaze narrowing slightly. "They've disappeared."
Lorenzo felt a pang of regret. "Just a little more, and my Mental Force would have been able to lock onto it."
If he had been a Spirit Reader, then the moment he sensed the Law fluctuations, he could have spread his Mental Force across the entire Special Training Camp and instantly locked onto the target.
But unfortunately, he was a Martial Artist!
Although Martial Artists also possessed Mental Force, they were far inferior to Spirit Readers, who specialized in it.
Returning to his office, Lorenzo wondered, "What exactly were those Law fluctuations?"
He had carefully reviewed the files of everyone who entered the Special Training Camp and knew more or less about them.
As far as he knew, these people were average in skill. Forget causing Law fluctuations—even now, not one of them had comprehended a domain.
As he walked back, Lorenzo thought, Let's see if anything unusual has happened. Perhaps I can find some clues.
After returning to his office, he had someone report all recent events to him.
Inside Li Qi's room.
Having just broken through to the Planetary Level in Gene Origin Energy, Li Qi used Planetary Level Gene Origin Energy to cover his entire body, awakening a special ability.
At that moment, it was as though he saw grass and trees taking root and sprouting, the beginning of all things being born!
He had a strange feeling, as if he had glimpsed the essence of life.
The sensation came quickly and vanished just as quickly, lasting only an instant!
Li Qi thought it was an illusion. To verify it, he withdrew his Gene Origin Energy and covered his body with it again, but found nothing.
"Was it really an illusion?"
He set aside that indescribable feeling and carefully sensed the subtle changes in his body.
"My Gene Origin Energy has a wood attribute, but what exactly is my special ability?
"Other than feeling that my body's vitality has become more vigorous, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it."
Half an hour later.
Lorenzo's office.
The latest intelligence from the Special Training Camp was reported here, including a trainee's breakthrough to the Planetary Level and the strange event of flowers blooming across the grassland.
"Flowers from different seasons throughout the year appeared on the grassland and bloomed at the same time today?"
Upon seeing this report and learning that a trainee had broken through to the Planetary Level that day.
Lorenzo was almost certain that this had been caused by a special ability gained by a trainee during their breakthrough, including the appearance of the Law fluctuations.
He could be so certain because the universe was vast! Mysterious!
The special abilities granted when Gene Origin Energy broke through to the Planetary Level were extremely miraculous. Powerful special abilities could rival the innate secret techniques of certain races.
Considering that the anomaly had been caused by a trainee's special ability, Lorenzo felt it was necessary to let Domain Lord Frank know.
Because Frank was the person in charge of the Cultivation Planet Management Department, Lorenzo's superior.
Thus, he first had someone record the trainees who had broken through that day, then entered the Virtual Universe to find Frank, the Domain Lord in charge of the Molten Empire's Cultivation Planet Management Department.
Virtual Universe, Molten Island on the Qianwu Continent.
In a lavishly decorated room, Frank and Lorenzo sat facing each other. It was their first private meeting.
As a Domain Lord whose comprehension of the Laws was close to the comprehension level, Frank was extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would not have become the person in charge of the Molten Empire's Cultivation Planet Management Department.
Yet even with such strength, he treated Lorenzo as an equal rather than looking down on him.
He knew that although Lorenzo was still at the ninth rank of the Universe Level, that was only because he wished to participate in the Universe Peak Powerhouse Battle. Otherwise, he would have long since broken through to the Domain Lord level.
Furthermore, Lorenzo's comprehension of the Laws was no lower than Frank's, while his experience in life-and-death battles surpassed Frank's. Otherwise, he would not have been so highly valued by the Molten Emperor.
Domain Lord Frank asked with a smile, "Haha! Lorenzo, what made you think of asking me out for a drink today?"
Lorenzo took out a bottle of fine wine worth over ten million Molten Coins. He first filled Frank's cup to the brim before pouring himself a cup.
After pouring the wine, Lorenzo said, "I sought you out this time, Lord Frank, mainly because there is something I would like to ask your advice about."
"Oh? What is it?" Frank asked.
"It happened like this..."
Lorenzo recounted what had happened at the Special Training Camp and added his own judgment.
Upon hearing this, Frank's expression turned grave as he drank. He hurriedly set down his wineglass and asked, "Have you told anyone else about this?"
Seeing Frank's grave expression, Lorenzo immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. He shook his head. "Other than the people on Kuka Planet, I haven't told anyone else."
"Very good! Seal off Kuka Planet and forbid anyone from entering or leaving. At the same time, cut the connection between Kuka Planet's Virtual Universe and the Empire's Virtual Universe to prevent the news from spreading."
Frank's expression relaxed slightly. "I'll go see His Majesty immediately. Kuka Planet is in your hands now."
Kuka Planet—or rather, the entire cultivation planet system—was connected to the local network of the human Virtual Universe network, like Earth's War God Palace. The Molten Empire had absolute control over it, so naturally it could seal off a single planet.
Lorenzo nodded. "All right, I'll make the arrangements now."
The two then left the Virtual Universe and acted separately...
