Surrounded by swirling white, green, and black halos, Su Ruolan slowly opened her eyes after completing her advancement. The delicate features of her face seemed to bloom like a vibrant flower, revealing both the gentle warmth of a young girl and the stubborn strength of a warrior. This unique blend created a wild beauty that was unforgettable and deeply resonated with those who beheld her.
"Thank you, Master. I have leveled up," a deep, gravelly voice echoed, resonating with a natural bass.
It turned out that Monet had also advanced to the initial stage of Level Four Wind Type. Though he had not yet transformed, his physique had become more robust and powerful, exuding an even sharper presence as the Wolf King.
Reset watched Su Ruolan and Monet's advancements with envy. Unfortunately, the energy required for its own upgrade was immense. The energy that Su Ruolan provided after her advancement could only enhance the purity of its space but could not assist in its own leveling up.
"Sister Ruo Lan, I want to form a contract with you. Please accept me," Kong Xiang suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed his head to Su Ruolan.
Having never inquired about Monet's background before, Cheng Xi's curiosity had long since reached its peak. Seeing Su Ruolan level up alongside Monet, who now spoke human words with eyes full of admiration, he couldn't help but express his thoughts: "Sister Su, you are amazing! You can actually contract with Mutated Animals. I want to acknowledge you as my master too."
Throughout their journey, Su Ruolan had realized that both of them were genuinely sincere towards her. Thus, she no longer hesitated and directly signed a master-servant contract with them. A burst of contract light flashed once more; Kong Xiang's stealth ability rose to Level Two Intermediate, while the status of his prophecy ability remained unknown. Cheng Xi's Gold System Ability advanced to Level Two Initial. Both were overjoyed; after four years in this apocalyptic world, those who awakened abilities were still few in number. They never expected that after meeting Su Ruolan, their lives would undergo such a dramatic transformation within just a month, propelling them into the ranks of intermediate experts.
The two quickly expressed their gratitude solemnly, fully aware that in this chaotic world, strength meant survival. They silently vowed to be Su Ruolan's guardians for life.
The Bat King had also healed from its injuries and had grown to forty centimeters before stopping its growth.
"Mommy, I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye," came the tired voice of the little one.
"Okay, my dear. Sleep well; Mommy is here," Su Ruolan said gently as she cradled the Vampire Bat in her arms, completely ignoring its ugly appearance as she tenderly stroked its head and whispered softly.
"Woman, let go of me. The noble Bat Clan is not something you can touch." Suddenly, a magnetic voice echoed, startling Su Ruolan. Regretfully releasing the Bat King, Su Ruolan resolved to become stronger and strive to give her baby a chance at a safe and revived existence.
Although the Bat King looked down on Su Ruolan deep down, it could not resist the rules of the master-servant contract. Understanding that it needed Su Ruolan to restore its original abilities, it maintained a cold demeanor and fell silent. Pretending not to notice the Bat King's thoughts, Su Ruolan decided to keep it in her space for better recovery.
In a flash, she entered an unfamiliar environment. The sky was a clear blue, with picturesque mountains and flowing waters, filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers. The air was rich with vitality and elemental power. The Bat King was greatly astonished; the speed of cultivation here was no worse than in its previous environment, and there was even a source of primordial power. Its disdain for Su Ruolan diminished somewhat.
"Ruo Lan, I feel that thing calling me again. Let's go find it," Reset said, sharing a connection with Su Ruolan and eagerly wishing to restore its original strength.
Following Reset's guidance, Su Ruolan continued deeper into the cave. Due to her contract with the Bat King, the other Vampire Bats avoided them and ceased their attacks.
As they reached the depths of the cave, an irregular stone emitted a ghostly blue light in the darkness.
"Just as I thought," Reset exclaimed, its excitement infectious to Su Ruolan as if it were seeing a long-lost relative.
"What is that?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.
"This should be the primordial stone from my home planet; it's the raw material that forged me," Reset explained to Su Ruolan. "As soon as I arrived here, I felt a very familiar energy wave. This pit must have formed from the impact of this meteorite."
"Reset, you come from another planet?" Su Ruolan was taken aback.
"I'm not sure either. I'll need to recover my inherited memories to find out," Reset replied, equally puzzled.
"Then how do we use this meteorite?" Su Ruolan inquired.
"You concentrate your mind and just need to receive it into the space; I'll handle the rest," Reset said. "By the way, I sensed this energy aura on the Bat King earlier as well. It seems it absorbed a part of it; otherwise, it wouldn't have advanced so quickly."
Su Ruolan nodded, understanding now. The Pure Yang bloodline has a suppressive effect on space, which explains why it could severely injure the Bat King that was about to retaliate. Discarding distracting thoughts and focusing her essence, Su Ruolan gradually merged her consciousness with Reset to summon the meteorite. As if a heavy weight pressed down on her mind, Su Ruolan realized why she had to be close to the meteorite; being even slightly farther away rendered her powerless. The stone appeared small but was incredibly heavy.
Reset continuously emitted a signal, causing the meteorite to gradually loosen and slowly rise into the air. Once it reached a certain height, it suddenly flew toward Ruo Lan's heart and vanished in a flash.
The Bat King was just about to select a mountain peak for seclusion when he suddenly noticed a piece of bluish stone flying through the air. Confused, he thought, "Isn't that my bed? How did they move it?"
The meteorite flew at high speed toward the peculiar house that seemed neither wood nor iron nor clay, slowly melting and merging with it. The space began to change again; various plants and crops that had just sprouted on the land rapidly underwent growth, blooming, fruiting, and seeding processes. In the lake, a pair of fish gave birth to thousands of fry, with countless fish chasing and swimming on the water's surface. The flow rate of space increased once more, and the elemental spiritual energy became denser. The house where Reset's main body resided transformed into a two-story building; aside from "Seventh Element," there were additional medical books on the first floor, while the second floor housed a box containing two pills.
"Ruo Lan, I've finally advanced to level two," Reset's mechanical voice carried an added liveliness. "Now, cultivating in this space for three months is equivalent to six months outside."
"That's great! Kong Xiang and Cheng Xi just leveled up; they can enter this space to cultivate and solidify their realms," Su Ruolan said happily, informing both of them. They readily agreed, but when they saw a paradise completely opposite to the apocalypse, they were stunned and took a long time to react.
As the meteorite was summoned into Su Ruolan's sea of consciousness and merged with Reset, significant changes were also evident in their surroundings.
Su Ruolan felt that the transparent light shield at the entrance of Bat Cave had disappeared. Although Bat Cave remained dark, it was no longer so obscured that she couldn't see far; faint lights shone through from a distance, revealing numerous interconnected tunnels at the bottom of the pit with visible signs of human excavation. Could this lead to the outside world?
