Godly Base City? Ye Chen frowned, a name not unfamiliar to him.

In his previous life, it was famous globally, one of the top ten base cities and a major power. It was said that at the very beginning of this power's rise, its founder was a scientist from a North American laboratory.

When the virus broke out, he was the closest but unexpectedly suffered a viral mutation that drastically boosted his physique. While other scientists turned into zombies, he became a powerhouse with a Scarlet Constitution!

Since then, the virus residing within him mutated once every month, causing his physique to increase by 10% each time! This effect was even more terrifying than those who had undergone the Seventh Transformation.

Average evolutionaries only gained 2% to 4% physique automatically each month, far less than him. This man was named Sazhit!

Favored by heaven, a true prodigy! Now, it was already November in the second year of the Dark Era; in another month, the Volcanic Age would arrive.

Ye Chen calculated in his mind. With a monthly increase of 10% in physique, even if this person spent his days idling and didn't consume mutated meat, his physique at this stage would have reached the level of a Ghost God Realm expert!

If he cultivated diligently, perhaps he hadn't even failed to reach the Demigod Realm! “Godly Base City was merely an extremely powerful base city in the later stages of my previous life.

How could there be a Godly Alliance? Could it be that the trajectory of history has deviated because of me?” Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brow, pondering.

Xu Tianguo glanced at Ye Chen’s expression and whispered, “According to reports from Toswathin, this Godly Alliance has already united base cities from over a dozen countries. Their power is immense, showing signs of dominating the globe.

The leader of that alliance is also an extremely terrifying person named Sazhit.” Ye Chen nodded slightly. In the Ice Age, the monsters on the continent were frozen, making transportation and communication extremely convenient, so news traveled very quickly.

He waved his hand, “Let’s drop this matter for now. During this period, instruct the Research Department to continuously monitor the subterranean conditions.

Report immediately if anything unusual occurs.” “Monitor the underground conditions?” Xu Tianguo was puzzled. When everything was covered in ice and snow, the magnetic fields established in the air were destroyed, making it very difficult for many detectors to penetrate.

Monitoring would be troublesome, and at this time, everyone was struggling to survive; who would have the time to monitor air density, geological conditions, and so on? Ye Chen’s expression turned serious.

“This matter must be handled immediately; there is no time to waste.” Xu Tianguo rarely saw Ye Chen so serious and couldn't help but feel a jolt. He nodded quickly, “Yes.” Ye Chen pondered for a moment, “There is one more thing.

During this time, dispatch some personnel from the Technology Department to the Atlantis Civilization Technology Vault to search for methods to repair machinery, aiming to convert the Ancient Martial Civilization City into a flying castle!” “Rebuild the Ancient Martial City?” Xu Tianguo was shocked. “Why?” Ye Chen sighed, “Recently, a great catastrophe is coming.

We may need to relocate to a very distant place. At that time, we will need vehicles for transport.

Although this Ancient Martial Civilization city is forged entirely of metal and controlled by an intelligent system, it is merely equivalent to a fully intelligent house; it cannot move or fly.” In his previous life, he had followed the main forces to relocate into the Ancient World, understanding the intense sense of oppression in that plane. Without special methods, many entrances to ordinary ruins could not be opened.

Therefore, to enter, they could only travel by spaceship or aircraft carrier. “Catastrophe?” Everyone present sensed a trace of helplessness in Ye Chen’s words and felt a chill.

If even Ye Chen considered it a disaster, the situation must be dire, absolutely no less severe than the Ice Age! Xu Tianguo connected it to his previous words and pondered for a moment.

“Is this catastrophe related to geology? Could it be volcanoes?” Ye Chen glanced at him and nodded slightly, “Close enough.” Xu Tianguo’s heart jolted, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

If volcanoes erupted globally, not even microorganisms could exist, let alone humanity survive; relocation was the only way. He nodded gravely, “Understood.

I will ensure it is completed as quickly as possible!” Ye Chen stood up, “There are no major events during this period, so don’t disturb me.” With that, he turned and left, leaving Xu Tianguo and the others to discuss the details. In the pyramid, time slipped by in a flash; a year and a half had passed outside.

Ye Chen felt a growing anxiety. Now, only one month remained until the volcanic eruption!

This meant that within this month, he absolutely had to reach Level 10,000 and become a Ghost God expert! Ye Chen arrived above the plaza, his figure moving as he darted into the Rune Spaceship.

He saw Kaba sitting leisurely in the cabin and said directly, “For this period, you will stay inside the ship. I will let you out in a month at the latest.” With that, he waved his hand, and before Kaba could reply, he retracted the spaceship into the Rune Space.

“Hey—!” Kaba was momentarily stunned speechless. After securing the ship, Ye Chen turned and entered the inner sanctum, closing the doors and windows before commencing his cultivation.

“Back then, while exploring the Antarctic sea with the Black Armored Man, we killed countless monsters, including some powerful ones that were stored in the Rune Space,” Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed. Back in the sea, the Black Armored Man had displayed great power, slaying many marine monsters.

The lowest level of those monsters was three to five thousand, and they had even slain two high-level monsters in the tens of thousands! Ye Chen had originally stored a large batch of low-level monsters, but later, upon encountering high-level ones, he discarded the corpses of the low-level monsters and collected the tens-of-thousands-level monsters into his space.

As a result, the entire Rune Space was now loaded with high-level monsters. Ye Chen gestured with his hand, opening the Fire Civilization Space.

Seeing Bailan standing at the entrance, he hastily ordered, “Bring out all the monster corpses from the cold storage.” Bailan paused, but seeing Ye Chen’s solemn expression, she didn’t ask further. She rushed into the cold storage, commanding the entire Fire Civilization City to transport the monster flesh and blood from the cold storage.

Ye Chen glanced at the little white rabbit on his shoulder. The creature was obediently nestled there, occasionally looking around, its dark eyes full of curiosity.

He gently held it down and handed it to Bailan. “Take care of it for a few days for me; don’t let it go hungry.” Bailan’s expression was a bit strange; she hadn’t expected Ye Chen’s typically cold demeanor to include keeping a small pet.

She took it casually and stroked the soft, velvety fur of the little white rabbit. It felt wonderfully comfortable, and she nodded, “Don’t worry, I will certainly take good care of it.” However, the moment the little white rabbit touched Bailan, it suddenly pushed off and leaped to Ye Chen’s side, rubbing against his trouser leg, its large, watery eyes filled with reluctance.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. One must remember the caliber of Bailan; both her eyesight and physical strength could easily dispatch even a Ghost God Realm expert, yet this little white rabbit managed to escape from her grasp?

Bailan also seemed surprised, looking at the little white rabbit with shock. Ye Chen sensed the little rabbit’s attachment and frowned slightly.

He said to Bailan, “Forget it, since it doesn’t want to stay with you, just leave it be.” Bailan offered a wry, helpless smile. Afterward, Ye Chen placed the little white rabbit behind him, sat cross-legged, and five vortexes appeared on his forehead, the palms of his hands, and the soles of his feet, forming a peculiar magnetic suction field that drew the life essence from the pile of corpses.

Streams of pure, verdant life essence rose from the flesh and blood of the corpses, swirling like whales playing in water, flowing into Ye Chen’s body. The entire room was suddenly vibrant with vitality; even the wooden planks on the walls regrew life, sprouting fresh, tender green leaves… As his energy surged, Ye Chen’s power slowly increased… Time flowed by unnoticed… In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Before Ye Chen, the pile of flesh and blood, towering like a small mountain, had gradually decayed, emitting a foul stench. The verdant life essence floating above it gradually thinned, and soon, it completely vanished, leaving behind only a heap of rotten meat.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. A streak of emerald green light flashed in his pupils, looking extremely uncanny.

He waved his hand, and a stream of flame shot out, enveloping all the rotting corpses and burning them to ashes. “Seven days, devouring the flesh and blood of countless high-level monsters…” Ye Chen’s eyes shone with a captivating light.

“My power has risen from the first layer of the Qi Source Realm to the peak of the second layer! Just one step away from stepping into the third layer of the Qi Source Realm!” “Currently, based on my power alone, I can contend with a second-tier Ghost God Realm expert!

If I utilize the Nine Palaces Secret Method, amplifying my energy threefold, I can fight a sixth-tier Ghost God Realm expert! Adding the Blazing God Hammer and the Ethereal Flame Shield, dealing with someone around the eighth layer of the Ghost God Realm should not be an issue!” Ye Chen was satisfied.

“Other element experts could not absorb so many monsters, as some were Metal-attributed, others Fire-attributed. If the power attributes differ, forced absorption would lead to instantaneous death.

Fortunately, my power absorption technique is rather unique…” However! “Although my power surged these past few days, my physique hasn’t increased much.

When breaking through from the first to the second layer of the Qi Source Realm, my physique increased by 1000 levels, reaching 8200! If my power can break through to the third layer of the Qi Source Realm, my physique can reach 9200!” “But the sea monster corpses have all been absorbed; where can I find more?” Ye Chen’s brow slowly furrowed.

He suddenly felt something soft and furry near his hand and couldn't help but look down. It turned out the little white rabbit had snuck up from behind and was snuggling near his hand.

A hint of tenderness flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes. He reached out to stroke it and picked it up.

Suddenly, a thought struck him—the skeleton of the prehistoric ferocious beast on the last level of the pyramid! “Right!” “That prehistoric ferocious beast must have died a long time ago, yet its skeleton hasn't decayed.

I wonder how much life essence remains on it?” Ye Chen’s eyes lit up. He put the little white rabbit down and smiled, “Thank you.

If it weren't for you, I would have forgotten about that thing.” Saying this, he opened the Fire Civilization Space and commanded Bailan to bring out that skeleton. The skeleton was about a hundred zhang long, entirely black, like steel.

It exuded a savage and ferocious aura, as if it were a living, breathing beast. Ye Chen focused his power onto his eyes and immediately saw a spread of verdant life essence drifting up from the skeleton, dissipating into the air, mixing with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.

Ye Chen knew there was no time to lose; every moment of delay meant more life essence wasted. He quickly circulated the Devouring Qi within his body and enveloped the life essence clinging to the skeleton.

“Hm?” Ye Chen’s brow suddenly knitted.
