After enough worries and troubles, Zheng Yifan was feeling restless. With the sun shining brightly, he prepared to enter the Apocalyptic World again, bringing along a large batch of supplies newly stored in his Storage Space.
To be honest, the situation in the Apocalyptic World had become relatively stable. The Gathering Place needed development—steady development. The Second-Stage Espers at Hope Gathering Place were sprouting up like mushrooms after rain, their numbers significantly increasing, and their combat abilities were becoming quite formidable.
This was not all; even the number of Third-Stage Espers was steadily climbing. However, they lacked the extraordinary strength of Shi Laonian's Superpower gained through battle and did not possess the remarkable powers of High-Level Superpowered Individuals.
Even so, they still wielded powers beyond those of ordinary Superpowered Individuals, securing positions within the upper echelons of the Gathering Place.
The least among them could find a job at the Superpower Academy as a diligent gardener.
The Superpower Academy was no longer just an academic institution for further studies; it had developed significant strength on its own. The infusion of knowledgeable teachers combined with the collective power of all Superpowered Individual students had turned it into a new force within Hope Gathering Place.
Zheng Yifan only needed to gradually provide resources; the Gathering Place was already capable of growth. Various types of Gathering Places around had begun to take pride in joining Hope Gathering Place, with people continuously applying for membership.
The cost was quite steep—enough to bankrupt some ordinary Superpowered Individuals. Yet applications kept pouring in.
Currently, Zheng Yifan's heart was heavy, feeling like a stray dog fleeing his homeland in panic. He had no idea when he would be able to return. Zhao Siye would undoubtedly place many heavy accusations on him and might even sue Zheng Yifan.
However, he no longer cared. Now that he had escaped their sphere of influence, even Huang Mengni and his relatives had been contacted and brought to France to live for a while. Zheng Yifan was determined to return.
With his mind made up, Zheng Yifan activated the Time-Space Barrier.
This time the scene is no longer a blue aperture. The aperture just allows him to shuttle. Now Zheng Yifan has touched the essence of Time-Space Barrier, and what appears in front of him is a stable Time-Space Barrier Formation of stone gate. There are two divided worlds on both sides of the stone gate. Open Time-Space Barrier in any time and space, and Zheng Yifan can browse for things that can be redeemed. Now Zheng Yifan has just opened this function. There are really not many things that can be redeemed. There is only one item. This item is the starting point for redeeming all the technological power behind it. It is also the First Energy Arrival. When First Energy Arrival, open Superpower Technology A key to the times. VitalityIgniter. First Energy Arrival does not have a Zombie Crystal, but the powerful Superpowered Individual can still rely on its own power. Vital Energy is fixed to form Vital Crystal of First Energy Arrival. The kind of purification is different from Zombie Crystal. In terms of application, it is nothing more than a big issue of energy, and it will not differ too much. Zheng Yifan I saw this Vitality Igniter at first sight. It is like the starter of a fluorescent tube, activating the activity of Vital Energy in Zombie Crystal. Just like the activation of Han Rui, but this is mechanical. Completely automated production and operations are very different from Han Rui. Work efficiency is even different. Zheng Yifan If the ten million Zombie Crystal are not used to upgrade the level, but given to Han Rui to activate them one by one. The only woman with activated Superpower must be exhausted. With Vitality Igniter, as long as the Zombie Crystal is placed in the starter, it will automatically integrate the energy in it, allowing the Vital Energy to be sorted regularly for future use. The only disadvantage is that it can only be applied to the most common Vital Crystal, and the two Third-Grade Soul Crystal may not appear in the first Vital Energy world. All in all, Han Rui's future work will become easier and easier, and her focus will become more and more high-end. Those special Zombie Crystal of Zombie Leader have all been handed over to Han Rui, and she will study it in depth , see if we can integrate the power so that ZhengYifan or some devices can be used. That thing is absolutely powerful, Zheng Yifan even has a feeling that if Zombie Leader’s Zombie Crystal is thoroughly studied, humans will truly make a comeback in the battle with Zombie. Looking at the other options, Zheng Yifan can only be speechless. They are all black icons of water. You can't even see what they are, and you can't feel the strengthening of yourself. Now he is still the Superpowered Individual who barely reached the Fourth Stage, but he has reached the Fifth Level, even though it is the upgraded power of the Time-Space Barrier. That is a real Fifth Level. It should be completely different. How could it be so ordinary?
Zheng Yifan could only attribute everything to the insufficient Vital Energy that prevented him from entering the Apocalyptic World.
As he stepped into the Time-Space Barrier, the distance that once seemed so close transformed into a corridor. The energy of the Time-Space Barrier became increasingly apparent, and the immense power that had once been sustained by the Ancient Sages began to be partially shared by Zheng Yifan.
The Ancient Sages had struggled for countless years, their power dwindling to almost nothing. That they had managed to hold on until now was nothing short of a miracle. In the future, someone would still need to bear this heavy responsibility, and that person was undoubtedly Zheng Yifan.
Upon entering the corridor of the Time-Space Barrier, he first noticed the ancient stone tiles beneath his feet, along with the powerful and surging energy—the energy of the Ancient Sages.
Zheng Yifan moved forward against this remaining formidable force. In the distance lay an endless darkness, and as he walked, he seemed to hear one sigh after another—those were the regrets of the Ancient Sages who had died before fulfilling their grand ambitions. They were cowards, not having died on the battlefield, nor having journeyed together with their comrades into the abyss.
Ahead, as he drew closer, he increasingly sensed what lay beyond. That was the Hope Gathering Place, a territory he had created. There resided all his foundations.
As long as the Hope Gathering Place existed and continued to develop, the future would ultimately be bright.
Thinking of his territory brought him much joy, and without a second thought, Zheng Yifan strode forward confidently.
The apocalypse was vast, and he truly wanted to explore it, to expand the Hope Gathering Place and strengthen humanity's domain.
One step...
Two steps...
Three steps...
With three strides taken, a scene unfolded before him. Zheng Yifan knew that he was about to enter the Apocalyptic World. The Fifth Level power within him was about to descend.
“Superpower Activation, Superpower is…” Buzz! A force like an electric current suddenly enveloped Zheng Yifan, rendering him unable to struggle. Red blood seeped from the ground, and the metallic scent filled the air.
“Huangdi inherits the Fortune of the earth, leading the dreams of the Yellow Emperor Tribe, guiding his people to dominate the Eight Desolations and Ten Lands, claiming Hundred Cities as a tribe, enjoying the strength of Myriad Clans in shared glory.”
“All origins stem from his formidable Superpower, the only one in ninety lands, Overlord.”
“The Overlord leads a tribe’s Fortune. United in spirit, sharing honor and disgrace, he must be the leader of humanity. He guides all humans toward the realm of life.”
The ground trembled as if awakened, and within that blood flowed a powerful belief and strength. It was the combined power of countless clans, though these forces had completely dissipated. Yet, the faith of those people still lingered, drifting through the earth like wandering souls forever yearning to return home.
For eternity, they could not transcend life and death because their emperor… was still waiting for their strength.
With tear-filled eyes, inexplicably, tears began to flow down Zheng Yifan’s cheeks, helplessly cascading to the ground, shattering into fragments.
Huangdi, born of the earth’s Fortune, was destined to become the leader of humanity after acquiring that Overlord’s Superpower. He would lead humanity toward brilliance.
But the outcome was tragic; the future was not glorious but rather one of destruction. The entire Yellow Emperor Tribe was gone, and humanity did not embrace glory but continued to face ruin and self-destruction. The world remained engulfed in endless conflict.
Chiyou won a battle but did not achieve victory; they too were losers, merely slightly stronger than the Yellow Emperor Tribe. They were still struggling to survive. With the Second Energy Arrival, they would embark on even crazier plans—plans that could be extremely radical—all in pursuit of true survival. They sought to escape this world that felt like an unending apocalypse.
For when The Third Vital Energy Descend arrives, it will be the true end—an apocalypse that can never be resisted.
Gradually losing consciousness, Zheng Yifan felt that blood slowly seeping into his body, merging with his own blood. Blood is an energy that continuously circulates within a person; it carries one's strength. Losing too much blood means losing that power.
Within Huangdi’s blood flowed not only the strength of ordinary people but also all his Superpower from before his passing.
He was the only one who did not participate in the Time-Space Barrier Project, for he was the most crucial part of the God-Making Project. His Superpower had to be inherited by the next Heir.
As long as his Superpower was inherited, no matter who the Lucky Ones of the God-Making Project were, they would have to take responsibility for all of humanity and lead them into the future.
This was something that could never change. With his Eighth Level Superpower, he used all of his blood essence and even condensed his soul to forge this bloodline, which was now merging with Zheng Yifan.
The energy could not be inherited; it was entirely composed of the ten million Zombie Crystal s that Zheng Yifan had invested into the Time-Space Barrier, along with the power he had gradually contributed before.
The power from these Zombie Crystal s was now feedbacking to Zheng Yifan, bringing immense strength, but its sole purpose was to transform his Superpower.
Thunder roared as lightning filled the entire reality; this was the moment when the Time-Space Barrier was massively outputting energy, causing the force that blocked the two realms to weaken and allowing Vital Energy from the Apocalyptic World to overflow. This Vital Energy was not vast in quantity, but it was still enough to transform some individuals.
That power slowly mixed into the real world, destined to cause chaos.
As for Zheng Yifan's little matters, it wouldn't be long before they were no longer mentioned.
Because the real world had also entered a period of turmoil. (To be continued)
