Thanks… …… "Just the two of us?" The Tiger Monster hesitated, having witnessed the strength of humans and feeling uncertain. The Flood Dragon sneered, "Of course not!

Let's go contact the others; the two of us aren't enough to breach that city." The Tiger Monster paused, its voice rumbling, "If that's the case, won't we have to share the food with them?" The Flood Dragon cursed the idiot internally. The first step was to unite and attack the city.

During the assault, other monsters would surely be sacrificed, and their share would become ownerless! However, it didn't voice this, merely sneering, "No matter how much food there is, you need the ability to take it!" The Tiger Monster shook its massive head, finally grasping the implication.

Immediately, the dragon and the tiger headed towards where other powerful monsters were lurking, beginning their coordination. Inside the city.

Ye Chen arranged for Xu Tianguo to find lodging for the Black Beast Army, then he departed the main hall to inspect the city. Seeing no major flaws, he returned to his quarters and did not leave the base city again; he had to remain present as monsters occasionally attacked during the construction period.

"Creeeak!" Ye Chen opened the door to his room. The metal structure was surprisingly spacious inside, furnished with steel tables and chairs.

He walked to the bedroom area, knocked, and receiving no response, twisted the handle and pushed it open. Inside, he saw his sister, Ye Zhu, lying in a nutrient pod, immersed in the virtual world.

Suddenly, Ye Zhu's finger twitched, and the nutrient pod slowly opened. She sat up, blinked her eyes open, and when she saw Ye Chen standing nearby, her eyes lit up.

She stood and smiled, "You're finally back." Ye Chen rubbed his nose, managing a slight, wry smile. Although he frequently contacted his sister via communicator while hunting Lightning Beasts, being physically separated meant he couldn't feel as secure as when they were face-to-face.

Ye Zhu's eyes twinkled, and she winked playfully, "Guess what I just did in the God of War Tower?" Ye Chen stroked his chin, musing briefly, "Defeat an opponent who was bullying you?" Ye Zhu shook her head, her pretty face flushed with a hint of pride, "I cleared the first level of the God of War Tower!" Ye Chen froze for a moment, looking at his sister with some astonishment. With his current strength, even augmented by physical force, he could only clear the first level; the second proved too difficult.

This showed how challenging the God of War Tower was. He hadn't expected his sister, with her current power, to pass it!

Ever since Ye Zhu reached the Scarlet rank warrior level, Ye Chen had allowed her to hunt monsters alongside Bai Long and the others. After this period, her physical constitution had reached around level 90, just shy of 100.

Many people who reached level 100 still couldn't clear it when factoring in physical force and innate talent. Seeing Ye Chen's rare look of surprise, Ye Zhu giggled, "I obtained a cultivation technique from that inheritance sphere.

It has seven layers, and I recently mastered the first one. By executing its strongest attack, I managed to defeat the guardian." Ye Chen nodded, suddenly understanding.

Once everything within that inheritance sphere was learned, one would become a Messenger of Light—a divine-level powerhouse! Ye Zhu abruptly dropped her smile and looked at Ye Chen with solemnity.

"Brother, this base city construction is critical. If we are short-handed during the siege battle, I must participate!" Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

Ye Zhu preempted him before he could speak, rushing on, "No matter what, I must join the fight. Don't worry, I will absolutely protect myself!

I am a part of humanity, and I am a part of Bright City!" That voice, filled with fierce determination, sounded utterly unlike what one would expect from a young woman. Ye Chen stared at her for a long moment before finally sighing softly.

"Alright, but you must stay by my side then and not wander off. If you encounter danger, activate your superhuman mode and retreat to the city immediately." Although the siege battle would be dangerous, his sister's current strength was sufficient for her to maneuver within it without encountering extreme peril, especially since she possessed superhuman mode for instant escape if danger arose.

Seeing Ye Chen agree, Ye Zhu's eyes shone brightly, and she bounced with delight, throwing herself into Ye Chen's arms and planting a kiss on his cheek, laughing playfully, "Elder Brother is the best! Don't worry, I will take good care of myself!" Ye Chen lightly flicked the bridge of her nose, offering a bitter smile.

"With that stubborn streak of yours, even if I hadn't agreed, you would have secretly joined the army. It's better this way, staying close to me." "You're so sly." Ye Chen simply shrugged his shoulders.

After a short rest and a quick meal, Ye Chen suddenly heard commotion outside and hurried out. He saw many warriors running down the street, all fully equipped and jogging.

Jogging before going into battle was not just about saving time; it was primarily to warm up, loosen the muscles and bones, allowing them to exert their strength more effectively. Ye Chen extended his hand, and a surge of internal energy shot out, coalescing into a black palm that snatched up a young warrior.

He asked sternly, "What is happening?" This warrior had never seen Ye Chen, but the effortless way he was caught and immobilized filled him with dread. Trembling, he stammered, "Th-the west side is under rat attack!

The Hall Master ordered us to go provide support." Ye Chen frowned slightly, releasing his grip. "Go then." The young warrior glanced back at him with fear, feeling as if he had been granted a great pardon, and quickly ran off into the distance.

"A monster siege?" Ye Zhu heard the noise and emerged from inside. Ye Chen didn't reply immediately.

He dialed Xu Tianguo's communicator. "There's a monster siege on the west side?" Xu Tianguo recognized the gravity in his tone and dared not be careless.

He replied quickly, "No need to worry, it's just some minor wave rats. I've already dispatched the Black Armor Battalion warriors and experts from the Blood God Hall.

It will be resolved soon." Ye Chen felt a breath of relief. "That's good then." Xu Tianguo understood his concerns.

"When the main monster army attacks the city, I will notify you. These small rat raids can be handled by the subordinates.

If absolutely necessary, we still have Bai Long, Yue Heng, and the other Elder Council members." Ye Chen nodded and closed the communicator. Just then, his communicator rang—it was Mo Feng calling.

"Have you extracted it?" Ye Chen answered, asking immediately. "En!" Mo Feng replied, his nose sounding blocked.

Ye Chen quickly shut down the communicator and instructed his sister, "Don't run off. I'll find you when the main monster army attacks." "Mhm!" Ye Zhu nodded obediently.

Ye Chen lingered no longer, rising and sprinting towards Mo Feng's laboratory. After a short time, he arrived and simply pushed the door open.

Mo Feng's cool voice sounded from within: "Next time, I'll open it if you knock." Ye Chen turned to look at the door he had just pushed, which was visibly warped, yet he didn't blush. He said calmly, "Just get used to it." Mo Feng rolled his eyes, picked up a green test tube and a blue serum from the table, and tossed them to Ye Chen.

"Inject them yourself." Ye Chen casually caught them. "Which one is the gene?" "The green one," Mo Feng stated flatly.

"And the blue one?" "That's the stabilizer, used to increase the fusion success rate. Just because you succeeded once doesn't mean the second time will be the same," Mo Feng said apathetically.

Ye Chen eyed him suspiciously, walked over to a nearby chair, and sat down. He injected the blue stabilizer into his skin first; there was no pain.

After waiting a moment and noticing no ill effects, he prepared to inject the gene. Just then, his body suddenly grew hot, his skin feeling as if touched by flame, a fierce burning sensation spreading throughout his entire being.

His bones and blood seemed to be melting! Cold sweat streamed down Ye Chen's forehead.

Gritting his teeth, he forced out words, "What is this?!" Mo Feng replied calmly, "That stabilizer is quite potent. Inject the gene quickly, or the effect will wear off, rendering it useless." Ye Chen rolled his eyes in pain, thinking deliberately, This bastard must be doing this on purpose!

It’s just because I broke one of your doors! He didn't say more and quickly injected the gene serum into his body.

It flowed like cool water into a parched desert, greatly lessening the intense heat and burning agony. The gene began rapidly fusing with the ruptured meridians, bones, skin, blood, and viscera within his body.

Accelerate fusion! Mo Feng sat to the side, watching Ye Chen's pained expression with keen interest, nodding slightly.

"Your endurance is quite good." He spoke like an art master appraising a masterpiece. Ye Chen glared at him through his pain, gritting his teeth to fully resist the agony within.

The speed at which the genes were fusing with each other accelerated significantly, proving the stabilizer was indeed effective. Mo Feng observed Ye Chen, saying coolly, "Your vigilance is too low.

It would have been trivially easy for me to kill you just now!" Ye Chen retorted, "You wouldn't!" Mo Feng gazed at him for a moment, then shifted his eyes away, stating plainly, "If you break another one of my doors next time, I might..." Ye Chen managed a weak smile. "Perhaps we should have sent you to build the city walls." "That wall over there, I laid every single brick myself," Mo Feng stated indifferently.

"Which wall?" "The west wall." Ye Chen nodded slowly. "Then I can rest assured." "Why?" Ye Chen offered no further reply, focusing entirely on battling the pain inside.

Although the stabilizer was ferocious, its effect was excellent, no weaker than the stabilizer used in the Huaxia Base City that increased the probability by 0.1 percent. However, seeing Mo Feng's demeanor, he surmised that this kind of serum was extremely costly and couldn't be mass-produced.

He remained seated like this for three days. Ye Chen kept his eyes closed, cold sweat soaking him, enduring the intense agony within.

Over these three days, about half of the Lightning Beast gene had fused, and with every portion fused, the excruciating pain increased by a measure. Many people collapsed into mental breakdown because they couldn't endure it, resulting in failed awakenings.

Suddenly, the communicator in Ye Chen's hand beeped, vibrating urgently. Ye Chen frowned, slowly opening his eyes, and answered.

Xu Tianguo's anxious voice immediately rang out: "It's bad, the main monster army is attacking the city!"
