The plane landed in Provence, and Zheng Yifan was quickly settled into a hotel, with everything arranged by Bernard Pino's personal secretary. Everything happened so fast that Huang Mengni, who was beside Zheng Yifan, had not yet recovered her spirits. An appointment had already been made for a psychiatrist to conduct therapy that afternoon.
Zheng Yifan had no idea how the treatment would proceed; he was merely a bystander, feeling anxious without any real involvement.
Everything would be handled by the psychologist.
He just needed to wait patiently for the results; even if he wanted to intervene, he wouldn’t know how.
Moreover, he had more important matters to attend to.
The Time-Space Barrier had finally been upgraded successfully, and a surge of energy was continuously flowing from his chest. The powerful Vital Energy made Zheng Yifan feel both exhilarated and terrified, as it had surpassed its limits and was nearing the critical point of potentially producing a Zombie.
Fortunately, this Vital Energy was contained within Zheng Yifan, who had retreated to his hotel room.
What terrified him even more was that the power of the Time-Space Barrier was unstable, as if the upgrade had not been fully completed and had mutated.
Then Zheng Yifan found himself in a mysterious space that resembled a palace. Surrounding him was an endless void, devoid of any strange occurrences. Before him stood the image of that mysterious woman, now appearing even more real, almost like a living person.
Suddenly, a bright light emanated from one of the palaces nearby, revealing the figure of a man.
The sound of knocking echoed repeatedly, prompting Zheng Yifan to turn around and look. He could see images appearing on top of those palaces.
However, these images were like statues—almost completely motionless but radiating immense power.
That power could sustain the ground or destroy everything. The absolute strength was intoxicating.
Zheng Yifan became entranced by this power until he gradually came to his senses and realized he was mistaken. He truly was wrong.
No matter how strong others' powers were, since these figures appeared here as mere images, they were likely already dead or just remnants preserved in this space.
What was truly useful remained the woman before him—the one who had only offered him a few ambiguous words of warning.
"You have finally reached the Fifth Level, and now you can see the essence I left behind," the woman turned around and smiled gently at Zheng Yifan.
That smile was like a breath of spring, causing Zheng Yifan's heart to tremble, filling him with a warm feeling akin to seeing his mother.
Her next words allowed Zheng Yifan to gradually accept this feeling, for she was considered the mother of all humanity in mythology.
"My name is Nüwa, and I am a Superpowered Individual!" The simplicity of her statement contained an overwhelming amount of information that astonished Zheng Yifan.
What followed transformed Zheng Yifan's surprise into fear.
Nüwa slowly recounted the events of that time, a vast and monumental battle among Superpowered Individuals.
Pangu, Huangdi, Nüwa, Fuxi, Zhuanxu, and others—these legendary figures had indeed existed. They were the Superpowered Individuals from the first evolution, opposed by another faction of Superpowered Individuals.
This opposing faction was led by Chiyou and included Superpowered Individuals like Xing, Flame Emperor, Gonggong, Shaohou, Zhurong, Wu, Bifang, Jubi, Zhu Hai, Zhu Yin...
The two great tribes represented two major factions of Superpowered Individuals engaged in a battle that lasted over three hundred years. Technology advanced rapidly, and their powers surged to unprecedented levels.
The tribe led by Pangu delved into various equipment and technological research related to Superpowered Individuals, pushing the development of technology and the study of superpowers to their limits.
In contrast, the tribe led by Chiyou focused on developing stimulants. They used these drugs to enhance individual strength, even at the cost of losing their humanity. They only sought temporary power.
A single battle decimated most of humanity's elite. The Pangu Tribe's combatants were nearly all killed in action, leaving only their final scientific achievements and the scientists who employed their last resort.
They extracted the Azure Dragon Pearl floating above Dollars from beyond the universe, imprisoning it in another dimension. They created a powerful Time-Space Barrier that transformed the Azure Dragon Pearl into the Sea Dragon Pearl, making it impossible to retrieve.
The connection between the two worlds lay within the Time-Space Barrier; it was contained within the Sea Dragon Pearl, waiting for the world to enter the era of Second Evolution once more before battling against the Chiyou Tribe again.
As time passed and changes occurred, they no longer knew what year it was or how much the world had changed. After the first evolution era ended, all Vital Energy disappeared. Superpowered Individuals lost the nourishment of Vital Energy; they could only rely on their internal energy. Those above Fifth Level had abilities almost equivalent to that of Vital Energy but without it; many Superpowered Individuals could only exist for hundreds or even tens of years.
Only those deeply skilled Fellows or certain exceptionally fortunate Fellows could obtain a portion of Vital Energy and continue to survive.
During that time, Vital Energy was the most precious resource in the world, with every drop representing lifespan and endless temptation.
The world was in chaos, yet the Sea Dragon Pearl remained untouched. After being separated, all Superpowered Individuals, except for Nüwa, gradually lost their lifespans. They were even worse off than Chiyou and his followers, who possessed greater longevity, because in the realm of the Sea Dragon Pearl, there was not a single trace of Vital Energy; it was a barren hell devoid of Vital Energy.
Their lifespans had reverted to what they once were—less than a hundred years.
Knowing that death was inevitable in their future, they joined forces around the Time-Space Barrier to conduct a Divine Creation Movement.
This was a true Divine Creation Movement intended for the Second Era of Qi Arrival. According to scientific predictions, humanity could only endure one instance of Vitality Emergence. After the first occurrence, antibodies would form within the Human Genetic Code, causing mutations upon subsequent infusions of Vital Energy. Only the Lucky Ones would survive, but they would no longer be able to acquire Superpower abilities.
They could only transform energy into a milder form through other means to continue using it.
Nature is miraculous; it naturally birthed Essence Fruit. The great Ancient Sages had predicted this because delicious fruits also emerged during the First Energy Arrival, and among them, the most delectable ones enhanced the levels of Superpowered Individuals.
What about the ordinary Essence Fruits? This led to the Essence that Zheng Yifan possessed.
It was the culmination of research by all the elites of a powerful tribe from an entire era, with tens of thousands working day and night for over two years to unify the complete Essence System and preserve it within the Time-Space Barrier, drawing basic energy from naturally absorbed Vital Energy.
The high-consumption High-Level Essence Liquid would need to be refined using Vitality Crystals produced during their anticipated Second Energy Arrival.
More methods for Superpowered Individuals awaited Zheng Yifan's development. The key was to have a sufficient amount of energy; the more energy available, the more data obtained and research results achieved. All these had been successfully created and stored within the Time-Space Barrier. To utilize them required a substantial amount of Zombie Crystal s; acquiring full access to this technology meant paying ten times its usage cost directly.
These powerful technologies even had Technical Barriers; only by mastering earlier techniques could one proceed to use later ones. The entire system was comprehensive and required a certain amount of energy to activate. Each technique also had prototype machines that needed energy to be guided out from within the Time-Space Barrier.
It wasn't meant to deliberately make things difficult for Zheng Yifan; rather, utilizing these scientific technologies demanded vast resources, and maintaining the Time-Space Barrier also required resources for its operation.
The Ancient Sages devised this method to restrict future heirs from merely wanting to gain without any intention of giving back.
If the Time-Space Barrier were to be destroyed, then the world of Azure Dragon Pearl would inevitably perish as well. They merely wished to leave a final hope for their tribe.
The Sea Dragon Pearl was their remaining sanctuary.
It was evident that due to Zheng Yifan's last accident, which involved the use of Nuwa's power, the Time-Space Barrier had experienced some disturbances. Vital Energy was leaking from the tattoo on Zheng Yifan's chest. In fact, the situation was even more severe, as there were hundreds of areas around the world where Vital Energy was dissipating. However, these leaks were not large in scale and were confined to limited areas, meaning that no major incidents would occur in the short term. The national machinery would quickly eliminate them.
This was not an Apocalyptic World; scientific weapons still had their effect here, and the laws of the Apocalyptic World did not apply because the real world had already been fully established.
They had their own methods for dealing with Zombies.
In any case, Zheng Yifan could no longer concern himself with such matters. He was eager to know what resources he could utilize.
The Nuwa before him was clearly not a real person. Where had the real Nuwa gone? She was the only Survivor of the Pangu Tribe during the First Energy Arrival period. Zheng Yifan could only ask her about the specific details of the ancient secrets.
Because Zheng Yifan was the god in the God-Making Project! The god from the Second Energy Arrival period who helped humanity escape its predicaments and saved all of humankind.
He was also the god who fought against their old enemy, Chiyou.
The Ancient Sages created the Time-Space Barrier, and by a stroke of luck, they brought forth the current Zheng Yifan.
The Second Vitality Era was destined to be a battle between Zheng Yifan and what remained of the elite Chiyou Tribe.
As for further information, it would be cut off again, and only when Zheng Yifan advanced to the next First Level would he be able to learn more.
