When the apocalypse erupts, it opens the path to the extraordinary. Super energy and the power of pollution constantly erode each other, giving birth to a third entity: those who can integrate both...
"Damn it, he's coming this way!" The dog-headed creature was pacing around anxiously.
"Based on various calculations, he most likely just chose a world randomly because that world was submerged by the Black Sea. He didn't come looking for us, so don't worry," T9527's mechanical voice reassured the dog-headed creature somewhat.
But then he thought of the other person's violent temper, which could destroy the world at the slightest disagreement, and he began to feel uneasy again.
"They're nothing but bandits; their race should be wiped out."
t9527 beeped, indicating his frustration; in this chaotic region, every creature was a robber.
Each of the five major powers has a representative here, which allows them to do things that are inconvenient to do in the open and push them onto the races of the Chaotic Region. However, only the city lord of the central city knows about this. He himself is the representative of the Mechanical Kingdom, while the dog-headed creature is the representative of the Stone King Kingdom. Both of them are only at the eighth stage.
Deep within the chaotic region, there are several areas they cannot venture into. These areas contain not only zombies and aliens, but also extraordinary beings, including those who have entered the extraordinary sequence and Venerable-level aliens comparable to extraordinary beings.
Another reason they're here is to monitor what's inside; if there's any unusual activity, appropriate measures will be taken.
At this moment, Gu Lingxiao recalled the previous battle. The feeling when he killed the fake Gu Lingxiao was strange, after all, that creature looked exactly like him.
After thinking about it for a while, I put it out of my mind. When I took stock of what I had gained from the trip, it wasn't much at all. I only had a few hundred evolutionary biological super crystals, most of which were white.
Abilities in the form direction are not considered at all. There are a few abilities in the air direction, but it is unclear what abilities they contain. Gu Lingxiao would not randomly embed a fifth superpower. There is only one ability in the divine direction.
The ability to replicate from the creature we just killed is something we might consider.
After searching through the items he had scavenged, he found that most of them were technological weapons that Gu Lingxiao had never seen before, such as anti-gravity devices, barrier devices, weakening force fields, and elemental cannons. These things were much more useful than his own Barrett S-11.
However, with the addition of black and white elements, the Barrett S-11's power is not much weaker than the Element Cannon.
After searching around, I finally found what I was looking for: a crystallization detector.
Just like a watch, you can place the crystal on the dial and let it float in the air under the influence of the anti-gravity field. Press the switch on the left and the beam of light will start scanning the crystal.
The news was quickly given: Ninth Rank—God.
As for what ability it is, Gu Lingxiao didn't see any instruments that could measure it. It's highly likely that it can't be measured by any instrument, rather than by some useless testing device.
There were relatively more original super-energy crystals, a total of 230,000.
It's worth noting that the spaceship Gu Lingxiao initially piloted only had a little over eight thousand units.
After thinking it over, Gu Lingxiao directly embedded the copying ability into his fifth superpower, mainly because there was a supernatural being, Captain Pentagram, chasing after him.
More strength means more confidence.
After embedding the fifth ability, the remaining time was used to grind the replication ability to the fifth stage, which cost nearly 70,000 original super energy crystals.
To upgrade all five abilities to the sixth stage, it would probably require over 400,000 original super energy crystals, which is indeed a huge expense.
Without the restrictions, his absorption and improvement were incredibly fast; in less than a day, Gu Lingxiao was already close to the sixth stage.
"This is too easy, it feels unreal."
If there were no restriction requiring embedded capabilities to continue improving, Gu Lingxiao's improvement speed would be faster than a rocket.
Upon entering this new world, I discovered it was vast, many times larger than the central region.
The original super-power crystal was still not enough, so Gu Lingxiao planned to stay here for a while longer to see if he could make another fortune or even find the sixth ability.

A light white mist hung in the air. This was the third day already. I don't know what's wrong with the weather. It started getting cloudy three days ago, and the weather has become increasingly humid.
At first, Gu Lingchuan thought it was the zombie-infested forest ten kilometers away that was causing the trouble, but after interpreting it through his mental domain...
The information he received was just ordinary fog, which grew thicker over time. Gu Lingchuan would occasionally use his mental domain to probe the fog to see if there was any problem.
Finally, on the tenth day, when the fog was so thick that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face, the sun came out and the fog began to dissipate rapidly.
Within a few hours, the white fog had completely disappeared.
The long-awaited clear and sunny weather allowed Gu Lingchuan to take a short break and slowly drift off to sleep.
When he woke up again, Bai Ling was lying on him like a cat, leaning against the sofa, basking in the sun on the balcony.
"It feels so good. I wish every day could be like this," Bai Ling said.
The platforms extending from the high-rise buildings are clean and spotless, with green plants gleaming in the sunlight.
Gu Lingchuan looked somewhat dazed. What was this?
Ring ring~
The phone on the table next to me rang, and I instinctively picked it up and answered the call.
"Chairman Gu, Mr. Lin's clients have invited you to lunch this afternoon to discuss the specifics of the acquisition of Wanqin."
Gu Lingchuan's thoughts were a little slow, but he still remembered some things, such as his recent handling of the acquisition of Wanqin Group from Lin Yaoyang.
Wanqin is now outdated; the rapid development of the internet has dealt a severe blow to Wanqin's physical stores.
He had long had an idea: to transform Wanqin into a shopping mall that integrates eating, drinking, and entertainment, bringing all kinds of businesses into the mall, including game arcades, KTVs, restaurants, gold and silver jewelry, clothes, shoes, and bags—all crammed into one mall.
Even electronic products can be added, which gives customers a lot of choices and saves them the trouble of running around.
Wan Qin handled everything.
Okay, you arrange it.
Gu Lingchuan replied and then hung up the phone. He picked up the girl, who was as soft as water, and found that she was only wearing a very thin layer of gauze, and the outline of her body was faintly visible underneath.
Gu Lingchuan felt a little restless watching this.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ling asked, bringing her delicate face close to Gu Lingchuan's.
"Were you too tired last night? That won't do," Bai Ling teased.
She lifted Bai Ling, who was as round as a peach, off her.
"I'm going to take a shower first. I have some things to take care of this afternoon, so I probably won't be going back tonight," she said as she went into the bathroom.
Bai Ling leaned against the frosted glass. "Little Lingchuan, do you need my help?"
Gu Lingchuan came out, changed his clothes, and kissed Bai Ling goodbye. "Be good, we'll go on vacation in a couple of days after we're done with work."
Once downstairs, Gu Lingchuan immediately called Gu Lingxiao.
It rang for a while before being answered: "Where are you now?"
"This is none of your business. If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up," Gu Lingxiao's voice came through the receiver.
