Lin Yi understood. "So right now, this is essentially the Carapace's fetal breathing state, right? The more it absorbs, the stronger its innate foundation."
"Exactly. Let Kuai set up the final awakening mechanism, and then we can Call Lao Mo's Will Body straight over," Mao Feiyang said.
"We're here." Just as he finished speaking, Tian Bufan and Kuai Hongji walked over from nearby.
"An awakening mechanism? That's easy." Kuai Hongji walked up to the cocoon of light and began inscribing Mystical Runes as though writing commands. As he worked, he said, "I've set up a simple soul-guiding mechanism and a trigger mechanism.

Lin Yi suddenly asked, "What about the Convenience Store Owner?"
Tian Bufan said, "His will is there for battle preparations. It still needs to stay
