Space! Time!
The moment Xingtian lay down, he felt the wonder of life energy.
That warm current, like a gentle spring rain nourishing the parched earth, or like the warm sun in winter, softly caressed his face, as if it had brought him back to his mother's womb, back to being the baby who was cherished by his mother.
The surroundings were warm and comfortable, like being bathed in a mother's gentle embrace, and all worries were thrown to the winds.
At this moment, Xingtian felt as if he were in a warm cocoon, feeling his mother's gentle hands embracing him tightly.
His body seemed to transform into a light, floating feather, swaying and dancing in the warm air.
Every inch of his skin was immersed in the nourishment of maternal love, a feeling like a long-awaited rain after a drought, which greatly nourished his soul.
However, Xingtian's physical body benefited more than his mind.
The torment he had endured in the unknown space had pushed Xingtian's body to its limits.
Both their potential and energy have been completely exhausted.
If it weren't for the Original Self had such excellent control over the scale...
Perhaps Xingtian has already turned into a living, dried-up corpse.
Even if he hadn't turned into a dried-up corpse, Xingtian's condition was still precarious.
Every cell in my body felt like a traveler who had lost water in the desert, about to reach his limit after walking for three days and three nights.
At this moment, the life energy was like a timely rain after a long drought, instantly irrigating all the cells in Xingtian's body.
Although Xingtian, who was in the midst of it, did not speak, he felt every cell in his body cheering and celebrating his rebirth.
At this moment, Xingtian felt as if his body was a machine that had not been maintained for a long time, with every part rusted and every pipe blocked.
The influx of life energy is like injecting new power and vitality into this machine.
His muscles began to swell, his blood vessels began to expand, his bones began to remodel, and every cell was radiating new vitality.
He felt an unprecedented sense of power and confidence, as if the whole world was under his control.
This feeling captivated Xingtian; he forgot everything and only wanted this wonderful feeling to last forever.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes became unfocused.
It felt like being in a dream world, where everything seemed so unreal.
Not far from Xingtian, Original Self and Liang Shi Shizheng stared intently at the data before them.
Only after the data gradually stabilized did the Original Self nod and say to Liang Shi, "Your second master's condition is fine, about what I expected! The Eternal Flame is the real challenge! I'll leave this to you for now!"
As Liang Shi nodded, his Original Self form gradually disappeared into the void.
Liang Shi observed the data for a while longer, and seeing that there were no problems, he directly established a mental connection with Xingtian.
"Second Master!"
"Um!"
At this moment, Xingtian was so comfortable that he forgot himself.
Even when Liang Shi shouted, he only responded with a perfunctory reply.
Then continue to enjoy the pleasure brought by life energy.
Seeing this, Liang Shi didn't say anything more.
After all, as one of the key researchers in the study of life energy, his understanding of life energy is naturally quite good.
Therefore, it's quite understandable to see Xingtian's appearance.
"Second Master! Your condition is excellent! I think we should proceed to the second stage now!"
"Second phase? Sure!"
What Xingtian didn't expect was that he had just uttered the word "can".
My body immediately started to feel different.
At first, it was just a slight tingling or numb sensation.
Compared to the comfort brought by life energy, this tingling sensation is almost negligible.
Therefore, Xingtian didn't pay too much attention to it.
However, as time went by, this tingling sensation intensified and quickly spread throughout Xingtian's entire body.
It even started to distract him.
It subtly suggests that it's trying to overwhelm the comfort and energy of life.
"Liang Shi! What's going on?"
"Oh? You can already feel it? Second Master, it seems the gene repair fluid is finally working?"
"What? I've been here for ages! How come it's only starting to work now?"
"This is normal. After all, gene repair fluid works at the gene level, so it's inevitable that it will take longer to show results!"
During the brief pause in their conversation, Xingtian's discomfort intensified.
At this moment, he could no longer even feel the comfort of life energy.
The gene repair fluid has changed from a tingling sensation at first to a painful one now.
Moreover, it's not the kind of pain you see in the conventional sense, but rather pain that originates at the genetic level.
This pain was more intense and torturous than any pain Xingtian had ever experienced.
At this moment, Xingtian even wished that his Original Self would take him back to the mysterious space from before, at least the pain caused by that torture would have a clear origin.
Unlike the pain that was erupting in Xingtian's body at this moment, which had no origin and no clear source, it was simply excruciating.
It is a type of pain that cannot be located.
"Liang Shi! I can't take it anymore! Don't tell me that after all these years of research, you've gone astray in your technological development? You've forgotten about anesthesiology?"
"Second Master! We haven't neglected this aspect, but unfortunately, all anesthesia methods cause irreversible damage to gene-level repair! This is especially true for you, given your extremely rare genetic condition. Therefore, we must keep you conscious to ensure the gene repair work is completed effectively!"
Upon hearing Liang Shi's words, Xingtian fell silent instantly.
Although those words came from Liang Shi Shizhi, Xingtian understood that they were Original Self wanted to say to him.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xingtian gritted his teeth, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
"Forget it! It's just pain, right? It won't kill me! Anyway, Original Self already said that even if I die, he'll find a way to bring me back to life!"
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Xingtian's eyes, and the low growl he was making finally disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Liang Shi nodded and shouted loudly towards the sky, "Universe! Come out!"
As Liang Shi shouted, two huge spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the sky, and two ferocious dragon heads emerged from them, their eyes fixed on Xingtian, who was immersed in the rift!
The black dragon among them was the same Supreme Powerhouse dragon from before.
Xingtian's attention, however, was drawn to Liang Shi's names for the two dragons.
"Universe? Space and time?"
The spatial aspect is understandable, after all, Xingtian had already witnessed the Black Dragon's powerful spatial abilities.
But at this time?
Suddenly, Xingtian remembered the strange fluctuations he had experienced in the mysterious space earlier.
At that moment, it gave Xingtian the feeling that time had slowed down.
In retrospect, that feeling might actually be true.
The culprit was another silver dragon.
