Within the frozen, double-image world, under Yang Shen's gaze, the stream of light that pierced into the male infected man's body—
That wasn't a stream of light at all, but a bead.
Yang Shen thought for a moment, then continued to let time flow in the double world, staring intently at it.
After the bead entered the infected person's body, it suddenly melted, turning into countless shattered rules that merged into the infected person's limbs and bones.
However, perhaps because they were in different times and spaces, Yang Shen couldn't see any changes in the infected person's body.
"reverse!"
Yang Shen reversed time again.
This time, he reversed time in the double world to the moment the stream of light appeared.
"stop!"
Yang Shen immediately used his divine sense to lock onto the bead that was still above the infected person's head, and with a thought, said, "Come back!"
Immediately, time began to flow rapidly, and the bead was enveloped by a force, flying towards this very moment.
During this process, Yang Shen sensed a powerful resistance, a cosmic instinctual resistance.
However, this resistance was insignificant to Yang Shen.
Time passed quickly, and the bead was getting closer and closer to the present.
Finally, the bead completely fell from the past into the present, solidifying with a "whoosh".
This bead, which had originally been 'extinct' in the past, was retrieved by Yang Shen from the past.
This method can only be described as a miracle.
Yang Shen picked up the bead and used his divine sense to scan its internal structure, analyzing what kind of bead it was that could cause a normal infected person to mutate into an unknown creature.
After analysis, Yang Shen discovered that the bead was actually a catalyst.
That's right, it's a catalyst, a super-powerful catalyst. If used on livestock, it can make an animal grow from a juvenile to an adult in just two or three days. Of course, the price is—deformity!
"catalyst?"
Yang Shen was bewildered. A single catalyst could cause an infected person to mutate into an unknown creature?
What he saw in the past was that when this catalyst entered the infected person's body, it turned into shattered rules.
How did it become a catalyst now?
"Something's not right. There's definitely something going on here that I didn't expect."
Yang Shen thoroughly analyzed the catalyst, then created an identical catalyst in his mental world and summoned it.
"Buzz!"
The catalyst was successfully summoned quickly and without any unexpected incidents.
Yang Shen picked up the catalyst he had created and compared it with the catalyst he had obtained from the past, and found that they were exactly the same, with no difference whatsoever.
So he continued to use this method to create a large number of catalysts.
After summoning these catalysts into reality, he injected some of them into infected individuals and animals.
Once the catalyst enters the bodies of infected individuals and animals, it immediately melts and is absorbed by them, but it does not transform into broken rules.
"Roar..."
Those infected individuals and animals that absorbed the catalyst suddenly went berserk, attacking and devouring the surrounding 'living things' without warning.
With the nutrition from the food, the infected people and animals that had absorbed the catalyst all began to swell wildly, their bodies growing larger rapidly.
However, Yang Shen frowned as he observed this, because he could sense that the infected people and animals were simply going berserk because their bodies needed a lot of energy to continue growing.
Sure enough, the bodies of the infected people and animals swelled to about ten times their normal size, and then they calmed down and stopped going berserk.
At this time, almost all the infected people and animals were deformed.
One of the infected individuals grew five heads and nine legs, making it almost indistinguishable from a spider.
Several other animals even grew numerous tentacles, their bodies enormous like mountains, making them incredibly frightening.
But this is just a normal mutation, a deformity, but not an unknown organism.
"They went berserk as soon as I infused the catalyst into their bodies. But the male infected person mutated long after absorbing the catalyst..."
"Moreover, the effects of catalysts are different..."
Yang Shen held a catalyst in his hand, squinted, and murmured, "If the catalyst isn't the problem, then the method is wrong."
Even for normal people, there are rules about taking medicine. For example, some medicines must be taken at night, while others need to be applied externally or soaked in water, and so on.
This catalyst couldn't possibly be applied externally or soaked, but it must have a special method of use.
"It seems we still need to continue tracing the source of that catalyst."
Yang Shen first eliminated the mutated infected people and animals. Although he felt that those mutated 'monsters' could not possibly become unknown creatures, he did not want to leave any possible possibility behind.
After eliminating those mutated monsters, Yang Shen returned to the place where the male infected had been integrated into the catalyst.
"Reverse time!"
With a thought, the world before him appeared as a double image once again.
Immediately afterwards, time began to flow backward in the double world. On the ground, a lot of soil was seen wriggling rapidly, turning into rotting leaves. The rotting leaves quickly became fresh, then flew back to the trees, shrank, turned into small twigs, and finally disappeared completely...
Soon, the figure of the male infected person appeared, and a stream of light flew out from the male infected person's body and into the sky.
In the real world, Yang Shen immediately moved his position, his gaze following the direction in which the streak of light returned.
In the world of time travel, the streak of light disappears into the sky and eventually returns to one person's hand.
That person was covered in golden armor from head to toe. Anyone from the Earthly Immortal Realm could recognize that he was dressed as an imperial soldier, and apparently a high-ranking one at that.
