From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 318: Chapter 313: The Awakening of Bai Qi_1

The female officer listened to Fang Yun Zhong's words, feeling incredulous. The Void was clearly a foreign invading species, yet this old man claimed it was an irresistible force of nature, even the starting point for human evolution.

"If it hadn't been for Bai Weiguo's obstruction, by now I would've had the capability to lead humans to coexist with the Void and obtain even better evolution. Why would we need to be slaughtered by the Void like today?" Fang Yun Zhong's tone carried a sense of righteous indignation, "Sadly, they could not understand the contribution I made to our race.

They thought I would annihilate humanity, so they killed me and spread the false news of my death on the battlefield. They took over my experiments, they wanted to improve upon my experiments to fight the Void, but they failed to realize that my experiment was the best from the start. The fact that I'm still alive proves this point."

"I'm curious, what was the ideal outcome of your experiment that met with such fierce opposition from the previous commander?" the female officer asked.

"The process is not much different from what you are doing, but the result is a world apart. My ideal was to enable people to coexist with the Void, which naturally means turning humans into beings like the Void beasts. But your goal is to harness the power of the Void and continue to be its enemy. You are too arrogant, and you have no idea what the consequences of doing this will be."

"The consequence of that will only ensure the continued survival of the human race." The female officer spoke earnestly, "And the result of your experiment is only to erase humans from this world and become slaves to another race."

"Survival of the fittest is something every human should understand." Fang Yun Zhong said.

"You are simply a madman." The female officer frowned.

To the old man's thinking, that was to erase the human race from this world!

"So, those of you who kill your own kind for experiments are not madmen?" Fang Yun Zhong stood up, with a fearless smile on his face, and said, "I'm saving our kind. You are just children who love to meddle in my work. You just need to give me the technology you are researching now, and then you can just sit back and wait to be saved by me."

"Ha, the Central laboratory has already been trampled flat by the Void beast! You might as well stop dreaming!"

The female officer retorted harshly, though there were many other Indra Sky laboratories on Earth, she certainly had no intentions of disclosing their locations to this old man. She believed that there must have been a reason the previous commander tried to stop this old man.

Fang Yun Zhong stood up, realizing the female officer had no intention of taking him to the laboratory, his face showing a hint of regret, "It's a pity, I was hoping you would help me operate the devices. It seems that it's not possible now."

With that, Fang Yun Zhong's withered hand was on the head of the female officer, and in the next instant, her eyes went dull. Subsequently, her muscles began to bulge as if her soul was about to be extracted.

...

A few minutes earlier, at the moment the submarine was struck, Bai Qi opened her eyes in a certain room.

Bai Qi, upon awakening, found her Realm had undergone a drastic change. She couldn't sense where her Realm was at specifically, but an unprecedented power made her feel dangerously powerful. With every movement, she had the premonition she could tear her surroundings apart.

Looking around, she realized she was no longer in the laboratory. There was only a bed beside her and a wall that had been hit by something, and there was a trace of human blood on the floor.

The scent of this blood caused a reaction with the small segment of the Spiritual Root within her body. Clearly, the blood's owner was deeply connected to the gray Spiritual Root in her body.

"Fang Ren!"

She immediately realized something, hurriedly climbed out of bed, and rushed towards the door.

But as soon as she stepped out, she saw the twisted steel in the corridor, and the remains of humans scattered on the ground. Blood was smeared all through the passageway, with bones stretching to the other end of the corridor.

She became increasingly anxious. Although the Spiritual Root inside her could sense that none of these bones belonged to Fang Ren, Fang Ren had been here and had bled. She did not know what had happened.

Hastening her steps along the corridor, she found that several rooms at the end of the passage were also filled with skeletons, identifiable as Indra Sky researchers and submarine soldiers by their clothes.

At the end of the corridor was the submarine's control room, but she didn't enter right away, as she could hear an old man's and a woman's voices continuously coming from inside.

Bai Qi peeked around the edge of the steel wall, seeing a total of three people inside: a woman in a military officer's uniform, the old man in a black robe, and a common soldier.

Before she could take a closer look, she saw the old man turn the soldier into a splash of blood. The soldier's manner of death was identical to the others she had seen earlier, suggesting this old man was the prime culprit behind all these killings.

Bai Qi wanted to intervene to stop the old man from killing any more, but his following conversation with the female officer shocked her profoundly.

The man in the black robe was actually the long-dead Patriarch of the Fang family? And a hundred years ago, he intended to turn humans into a Void species!

What Bai Qi found hardest to accept was that the experiment her grandfather was conducting now had also resulted in the killing of countless fellow humans...

Watching Fang Yun Zhong grasp the female officer's head, seemingly using some strange Cultivation Technique to probe the other's memories, Bai Qi was prepared to act.

If this Patriarch of Fang family kept claiming to save his own race but had killed all his kin on the submarine, and the person who had suddenly come back to life was suffused with such a strong scent of the Void, it all seemed very wrong.

"Xuan Qing Seal!"

Bai Qi's palm shone with a dazzling imprint, illuminating the entire control room.

"Who is there! I didn't sense anyone!"

Fang Yun Zhong, who had not noticed Bai Qi from the beginning, seemed somewhat taken aback by the sudden attack. He quickly released the female officer's head, as True Qi surged around his body, forming a protective shield.

The Xuanqing Seal hit Fang Yun Zhong's protective True Qi, which had not yet fully activated, and in an instant, both Fang Yun Zhong and half of the submarine's control room were blasted away.

As the control room was ripped open, the view outside suddenly became clear.

It was the time of sunset, but the horizon in the distance was dark as night. A huge chasm had formed in front of Bai Qi on the ground, and the nearby sea had been split apart by her palm, revealing the mud beneath the water.

Where her palm struck, the Xuanqing Seal transformed into a kilometer-long beam of light above the sea, like a giant net, continuing to press Fang Yun Zhong towards the sky, where it finally exploded above the clouds, dissipating the surrounding darkness that shrouded heaven and earth.

"Cough!"

Above the clouds, Fang Yun Zhong's aged face turned even paler, as he coughed up black blood, and the black robe on his chest burst open, revealing bones burned by the Xuanqing Seal.

"How is this possible! How can someone possibly break through to the mid-stage of Xuan Ye Realm before me?"

His disheveled face now showed an abnormally furious expression, shocked by that palm. He was absolutely certain that the girl who had hit him possessed a higher realm than his own!

Higher than his...

That was impossible, considering the Void Energy fused within him. No one could possibly have a faster realm breakthrough!

Unless... the other party had also undergone Void Fusion experiments.

"Could it be that she is the Bai family's little girl who underwent the experiment?"

"No wonder... Void Fusion is indeed immensely powerful!"

"If this experiment could proceed according to my theory, then wouldn't it be possible to reach beyond the Xuan Ye Realm... No, that's not right, it could even mean becoming an Immortal is not impossible!"

The more Fang Yun Zhong thought about it, the more exhilarated he became. He had already extracted from the female officer's memory the locations of several branch laboratories of Indra Sky. If he could obtain the outcomes of Indra Sky's current research and realize his initial dream... then perhaps he could become the ruler of this world!

After giving the female officer a pill, Bai Qi immediately pursued Fang Yun Zhong into the sky.

Today, she was vastly different from the day before, her scattered Spirit Marks already shattered. Having absorbed all the energy from the Ninth-order Void Beast Skull, and now that her realm had broken through to the Xuan Ye Realm, her Spiritual Root no longer needed suppression like Fang Ren's and could be utilized to the fullest without fear of backlash.

In a moment, all the meridians in her body seemed to break their seals, and her formerly stunted Wood attribute physique finally grew into its complete form.

Even across distances of ten thousand meters, she no longer needed to use True Qi to fly; a mere thought seemed sufficient for her to arrive.

However, the further this mode of travel, the greater the consumption of True Qi.

On the beach, Bai Qi's figure disappeared in an instant, her body carrying an overwhelming Wood attribute True Qi as she reached Fang Yun Zhong's presence. The atmosphere around the sky was compressed, dispersing into the distance. The glow of the sunset shone around her, warped by the power of her True Qi.

"Is Bai Chaojin your grandfather?" Fang Yun Zhong looked at the celestial-like Bai Qi, a tortured smile twisting across his face.

"Indeed. Is Fang Ren your great-grandson?" Bai Qi's gaze remained vigilant the entire time.

She still did not know how powerful she had become, and in facing the old man before her, she could only sense a realm even stronger than Sister Hui Qing's, naturally requiring her full effort to respond.

Fang Yun Zhong chuckled, "They tell me you should be my great-grandson Ren's wife, so you ought to call me great-grandfather too, right? Hitting your great-grandfather like this isn't very nice."

"Why did you kill so many people?" Bai Qi frowned, glancing at the Void Hole in the far-off sky, and continued, "Over there, humans are sacrificing their lives for the survival of their race, yet you're doing things that completely contradict what you preach."

"By killing those who hinder me, I can save even more people." Fang Yun Zhong smiled, "Isn't this consistent with your grandfather's philosophy? Why then do you still treat me as your enemy?"

As soon as she heard about her grandfather, Bai Qi's emotions became extremely complicated. Clenching her teeth, she said, "I would oppose him! And I oppose you just the same!"
