Insights and Phenomena

Special Training Camp.

The trainees whose genetic energy was wood-attributed suddenly sensed that the surrounding cosmic energy had become unusually active. Their efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy and converting it into genetic energy increased severalfold!

Three trainees were chatting 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?"

"The flowers outside are blooming?"

The stunned trainee murmured softly, uncertainty in his tone. He seemed unable to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.

"What?" asked the other trainee in purple.

"A lot of flowers are blooming on the grassland!"

This time, the stunned trainee spoke with certainty. He had confirmed that he was not mistaken. The flowers outside really were blooming, but at an astonishing speed!

Hearing this, the trainee in purple looked out the window with suspicion. When he saw the scene outside, he froze as well.

Seeing his two companions spacing out, the trainee in black was somewhat displeased. "What's with you two? Trying to mess with me?"

He thought his two companions were pulling a prank on him. He had been tricked many times before, and this time, no matter what they said, he would not fall for it.

The trainee in purple continued staring out the window. "The flowers really are blooming, and they're blooming fast!"

"If you're still messing with me this time, just you wait and see how I—"

Halfway through his words, the trainee in black turned around and stared out the window, murmuring, "So many flowers!"

Outside lay a vast grassland. Just yesterday, green had still been the dominant color of the grassland, but now, as far as they could see, it was a riot of colors!

Red, purple, pink, yellow, white...

Flowers that bloomed at different times throughout the fourteen months of a year had all blossomed at this moment!

It was not only flowers from different seasons that were 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!

At last, they bloomed into beautiful flowers!

The strange phenomenon on the grassland was not seen by just the three of them.

Other trainees by the windows saw it as well. Quite a few excitedly took out their communicators, either recording this miraculous scene or notifying their friends to come witness it.

Governor's Office.

Lorenzo, who had been lowering his head to process documents, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Qi's room.

At that moment, surprise filled his eyes. "A law fluctuation!"

As a powerhouse who could break through to become a Domain Lord at any time yet remained at the universe level, Lorenzo had already attained great mastery in domains. His comprehension of laws had also reached the beginner stage, allowing him to sense law fluctuations.

Just moments ago, he had clearly sensed a law fluctuation. It had appeared within the Special Training Camp, and he had already determined its location.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Lorenzo arrived at the doorway. Once the door opened, he vanished in another flash, appearing at a corner dozens of meters away the next moment.

Standing at the corner, he stared in the direction where he had sensed the law fluctuation, his gaze narrowing slightly. "It disappeared."

Lorenzo felt regretful. "Just a little more, and my spiritual power could have locked onto it."

If he had been a Spirit Reader, the instant he sensed the law fluctuation, he could have spread his spiritual power over the entire Special Training Camp and instantly locked onto the target.

But unfortunately, he was a warrior!

Although warriors also possessed spiritual power, it was far inferior to that of Spirit Readers, who specialized in it.

Returning to his office, Lorenzo was puzzled. What exactly was that law fluctuation?

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's techniques were average. Let alone producing law fluctuations, not a single one had comprehended even a domain yet.

As he walked back, Lorenzo thought, I'll see whether anything strange has happened. Perhaps I can find a clue.

After returning to his office, he had someone report the recent events to him.

Inside Li Qi's room.

Having just broken through to the planetary level in genetic energy, Li Qi used planetary-level genetic energy to cover his entire body and awakened a special ability.

At that moment, it was as though he saw plants taking root and sprouting, the beginning of all life!

A strange feeling came over him, as if he had glimpsed the essence of life.

The feeling came quickly and vanished just as quickly, lasting only an instant!

Li Qi thought it was an illusion. To verify it, he withdrew his genetic energy and covered his body with it again, but found nothing.

Could it really have been an illusion?

He set aside that indescribable feeling and carefully sensed the subtle changes in his body.

My genetic energy is wood-attributed, but what exactly is my special ability?

Aside from feeling that my body is brimming with more vitality, 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. It included a trainee breaking through to the planetary level, as well as the strange incident of flowers blooming across the grassland.

"An unusual phenomenon where flowers from different seasons of the year all bloomed on the grassland today?"

After reading the document and considering that a trainee had broken through to the planetary level that day, Lorenzo was almost certain that this incident had been caused by a certain trainee awakening a special ability during their breakthrough, including the appearance of the law fluctuation.

He could be so certain because the universe was vast! Mysterious!

The special abilities granted when genetic energy broke through to the planetary level were extraordinary. Powerful special abilities could rival the innate secret techniques of certain races.

Considering that the phenomenon had been caused by a trainee's special ability, Lorenzo felt it was necessary to inform Domain Lord Frank.

Frank was the head of the Cultivation Planet Management Department and Lorenzo's superior.

Thus, he first had someone record the trainees who had broken through today, then entered the Virtual Universe to seek out Domain Lord Frank, the head of the Molten Empire's Cultivation Planet Management Department.

Virtual Universe, Molten Island of Qianwu Continent.

In a lavishly decorated room, Frank and Lorenzo sat facing each other. This was the first time the two had met in private.

As a Domain Lord whose comprehension of laws was close to the comprehension level, Frank was extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would not have become the head of the Molten Empire's Cultivation Planet Management Department.

Yet even with such strength, Frank 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.

Moreover, Lorenzo's comprehension of laws was no lower than his own, and his experience in life-and-death combat surpassed Frank's. Otherwise, he would not have been so highly valued by the Molten Emperor.

Domain Lord Frank smiled and asked, "Haha! Lorenzo, what made you think of inviting me 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, then poured himself a cup.

After pouring the wine, Lorenzo said, "The main reason I sought you out this time, Lord Frank, is that there's something I'd like to ask your advice about."

"Oh? What is it?" Frank asked.

"It's like this..."

Lorenzo explained what had happened in the Special Training Camp and added his own judgment.

Upon hearing this, Frank, who had been drinking, turned grave. He hurriedly set down his cup 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."

"Good! Seal off Kuka Planet. Do not allow anyone to enter or leave. At the same time, sever 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."

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 possessed absolute control over it, so sealing off a planet was naturally possible.

Lorenzo nodded. "All right, I'll make the arrangements."

The two then left the Virtual Universe and began acting separately...
