Relative III (Sorry, I'm not feeling well, so there's only one chapter today)

The "Talent Abilities" section slowly blurred and disappeared, then quickly displayed new text.

'Super Self-Healing: Your character can recover from injuries at an extremely rapid pace.'

Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly at this ability.

He already possesses the complete form of the Blood Ancestor, and his recovery speed is such that as long as the essence of heaven and earth is not exhausted, he can reshape his body.

In this state, the ability is clearly redundant.

His gaze fell upon this ability.

A flood of detailed information rushed into his mind.

This Super Self-Healing appears to be one of a series of innate abilities.

"No, if you enter the Great Abyss and there is no spiritual energy to replenish yourself, this ability will be really useful."

I carefully explored the new talent ability.

Zhang Rongfang reached out and made a cut on his arm.

A bloody gash immediately appeared.

But the wound healed almost instantly, without consuming any of his vital essence.

"Unfortunately, this talent can't directly improve my full strength, but it does provide an extra life-saving ability."

He felt a little regretful, but the Attribute Points added to health also enhanced his Blood Ancestor's complete form.

With this in mind, Zhang Rongfang put aside his thoughts, closed his eyes, and prepared to summon White Scale, enter the Void, and then enter the Great Abyss.

There are many hidden passages leading to Great Abyss on the earth, but the safest one is White Scale's side.

Just as he was preparing to summon remotely through the Blood Lotus behind him.

Suddenly Intuition Warning flashed in my mind.

' Intuition Warning: Your spiritual essence has undergone a qualitative change; entering the Great Abyss may trigger unknown phenomena.'

"??"

Zhang Rongfang was taken aback.

He had just been inside before, so why did it turn out like this when he went in again?

He carefully examined all his Attribute Panel one by one.

His expression was slightly serious.

The biggest difference between entering before and now lies in the newly acquired ability.

In the Attribute Panel, the newly generated Super Self-Healing ability is shimmering with a faint blackish-purple light.

His gaze fell upon it, and behind it, three different branches suddenly appeared.

The ends of these branches were all gray and dull, clearly unlit.

The three branches, from top to bottom, are:

First – the Final Ultimate Creature.

Second – the Ancient Ferocious Beast Nine Infant.

Third – the World Serpent Jörmungandr.

From top to bottom, the success rate and compatibility are also marked.

The one at the top is the simplest and has the highest compatibility, followed by Nine-Headed Serpent, and then Jormungandr.

'This is the same initial ability as the Blood Ancestor.' Zhang Rongfang looked at the three branches and his spirits lifted.

Aside from the first one, which is unknown, the other two are extremely powerful beings, super monsters from mythology that Sky Devouring and the earth.

He stared at the three branches. Jormungandr's path was indeed tempting, but the dense array of various ability combinations that followed made him a little dizzy.

Those abilities, numbering at least in the hundreds, would take him an unknown amount of time to slowly combine.

On the contrary, the first Final Ultimate Creature has many abilities and talents that overlap with those of the Blood Ancestor.

For example, Steel Skin and Innate Giant Strength.

After that, you only need to acquire a dozen or so more talent abilities to successfully combine them into a new bloodline.

'Let's not choose for now.'

After closing the Attribute Panel, Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment.

'White Scale?'

He whispered a call in his heart.

"Here we go! We're going into Great Abyss again, aren't we? Be careful. The Moon God has been moving around Great Abyss searching for things lately. We don't know what she's looking for. If we run into her, we'll be in trouble," White Scale warned.

"It's alright. I'm just going in to try," Zhang Rongfang replied in a deep voice.

Great Abyss's space is quite large, and he wants to test whether the Moon God will be able to detect him at any time if he enters from White Scale's side.

This relates to his subsequent arrangements and plans.

"Alright, you must be careful. If you find anything wrong, retreat immediately," White Scale instructed. She was now tied to Zhang Rongfang.

If Zhang Rongfang gets into trouble, she has betrayed so many Gods and Buddhas, and she will surely die a horrible death.

"Go ahead and open it." Zhang Rongfang nodded slightly.

The words had barely left his mouth.

A grayish-white Round Cave Entrance slowly opened in front of him.

Countless white mists swirled inside the cave entrance.

Zhang Rongfang took a step forward and entered the mist.

He passed through a colorful rotating tunnel and suddenly appeared high in the sky above the White Scale Void.

Below, White Scale looked up at him, nodded, and pointed.

Suddenly, another gray-white archway appeared below Zhang Rongfang.

Whoosh! He fell straight down, landing right in the archway.

Everything went black instantly.

The surroundings instantly turned gray and black, with white mist slowly drifting in the Abyss.

This is already Great Abyss.

Zhang Rongfang stood outside the White Scale Void Gate, looked around, and then dashed out of the passage to the left.

This time seems completely different from the previous times.

As he burst out of the White Scale platform, his body shimmered with a faint, transparent glow.

Within this radiance, some inexplicable, unknown voice seemed to slowly emerge.

Just like many, many people are praying and chanting.

Zhang Rongfang frowned and looked at his Attribute Panel, but there were no prompts on it.

At this moment, the radiance on his body gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed in the first place.

After a careful inspection, no problems were found.

Zhang Rongfang suppressed his doubts and examined his surroundings.

'It seems the Moon God can't monitor my movements at all times. Well then, perhaps we could explore a bit higher up.'

He spread his bat wings, took off, and quickly climbed up the stone wall.

White Scale's current platform is on the seventh floor. After exiting, he only needs to rush up one floor to re-enter the fifth floor where Spirit Flight Heaven and the Moon God are.

As his speed continued to soar, an invisible barrier was constantly being breached by Zhang Rongfang.

The surrounding scenery of Great Abyss gradually transformed from dilapidated and ordinary small platforms into larger and more ornate passageways for Gods and Buddhas.

Soon, the fifth diaphragm suddenly stopped, causing Zhang Rongfang's speed to drop sharply.

He slowed down and looked around.

The two Great Abyss rock walls extend from the left and right sides to the horizon.

Scattered among them are several large, exquisitely Gods and Buddhas platforms resembling small towns, housing deities and Buddhas.

Before long, Zhang Rongfang could see faint purple light shimmering in the distance through the mist.

Apart from that, there was no further activity.

'The Moon God is indeed not here,' he guessed, but he did not stop, instead continuing upwards, flapping his wings and soaring away.

To avoid leaving Great Abyss on his own, he would touch the rock wall every so often.

As he flew upwards, suddenly a blurry and distorted scene appeared ahead, with countless gray-white mists condensing into a huge white wall, blocking his path to the next level.

Zhang Rongfang slowly stopped, the blood on his body turning into tentacles that clung to the rock wall, as he looked up at the blurry mist.

He reached out and gently stroked the wall where white mist had condensed. It felt cool and hard to the touch, like the smooth scales of some kind of animal.

'I'll see if I can break through again now!'

His current strength has reached its peak.

Without hesitation.

He suddenly lunged upwards.

As my body broke through the fog, I felt as if I had suddenly lost all sense of direction.

Whoosh! The fog dissipated, and the view suddenly opened up before Zhang Rongfang, who felt as if he had entered some kind of extremely viscous gel.

His every move became quite difficult.

Before him lay the still dark and empty Great Abyss rock wall. Zhang Rongfang continued to rush upwards, and the mist gradually thinned and disappeared.

Finally, the view opened up before him, revealing a series of colorful buildings and passageways nestled on the rock walls on both sides of Great Abyss.

However, these building passageways were quite dilapidated and looked deserted.

Zhang Rongfang's speed was greatly reduced due to the gelatinous substance in the air, but he still landed gently on the nearest platform in front of the Gods and Buddhas.

On the outside of the platform, to the right of the entrance to the passage, there is a line of writing engraved on the wall.

'Neural Interaction Platform, Area 146.'

The lettering was in Locked Script, Zhang Rongfang understood at a glance.

It's just that this building, which should clearly be a Neural Interaction Platform for Gods and Buddhas, is labeled with such a name.

He paused for a moment; the name reminded him of certain research institutes from his past life.

Looking at the messy, deep scratches on the ground, it was clear that some special creature had already left.

He moved forward, step by step, into the passageway platform.

The walls of the passageway were covered with all sorts of deep scratches.

Soon, after passing through the dark passage, he stood in the place that should belong to the Void Gate, gazing at the door.

The door is engraved with small, neat characters.

Switch to the Interaction Zone.

He reached out and gave it a gentle push.

The Void Gate was easily pushed open, revealing a dark and empty hall inside.

The hall was not a self-contained Void of Gods and Buddhas, but a gigantic tree composed of countless pipes and lines, more than ten meters tall.

The area around the giant tree was a mess, with decorations, papers, and documents scattered everywhere.

Several glossy white mummies lay sprawled on the ground.

They were wearing some kind of distinctive gray uniform robe.

Zhang Rongfang walked forward, squatted down beside a corpse, and gently turned it over.

The corpse had a single eye on its face, making it appear unlike a human.

He was still clutching a gray document tightly in his hand.

Zhang Rongfang picked up the document and gently opened it.

The light grew increasingly intense, forcing us to take evasive action and enter the Great Abyss. However, the light continued to cause significant damage to our bodies.

Not much time has passed, but the connections between the major clusters have already begun to weaken significantly.

Research into the separation of consciousness from the body has entered its final stage. Some have even named it after ancient mythological deities. This truly marks the beginning of a new era.

Zhang Rongfang felt a chill run down his spine. In fact, from the very beginning, he had some suspicions that these Spirit Thread Gods and Buddhas were actually some kind of parasitic technological life form.

And now, this document truly proves that point.

' Di En severed ties with other settlements outside; he's attempting to become the sole god!'

'He failed.'

Zhang Rongfang closed the last page. Although the Little Booklet contained little information, its meaning perfectly matched his previous speculations about Gods and Buddhas.

He carefully circled the hall several times, but found no conscious individuals.

Then, he left the passage and went to the other passage platforms.

The Void Gate within the passage are all similar, serving as transfer points connecting other settlements.

But they have all become completely ineffective.

The fourth level presents significant obstacles; even for Zhang Rongfang, the speed of movement and searching is only about half of what it should be.

Just as his disappointment was growing, in the last platform passage, in the hall of the Void.

A black, arched, swirling door slowly rose before Zhang Rongfang's eyes.

Along the edge of the black vortex door, indistinct Silver Spirit Thread appeared and disappeared. It was unclear how long they had existed.

They are like light bulbs that are flickering on and off, about to lose their effectiveness.

It's clear that this vortex gate won't last much longer.

Fortunately, Zhang Rongfang found this place while it was still in existence.
