[Current progress: 90%]

[Current progress: 95%]

[Current progress: 100%]

All the soul gems turned into gray balls of light, and then rotated clockwise as if falling into a whirlpool, and were completely absorbed by Ning Yu.

The task progress prompt in my mind kept updating until it reached 100%.

Lacey looked at Ning Yu with amazement, and at the mysterious feeling around her that was difficult to describe in words.

The golden swirl mark on Ning Yu's forehead became brighter and brighter, and against the backdrop of her beautiful silver hair, she looked more divine.

“Is this the power of the root?”

Complex patterns and signals suddenly flashed in Lacey's eyes, but quickly disappeared, as if she was trying to analyze something and then failed.

[Ding! Legendary Quest: Ultimate Knowledge Completed! ]

[The host's awakening ability will be upgraded soon]

The air around them suddenly began to tremble, as if something was about to break through the barrier of reality and suddenly appeared in the world.

Lacey and Shen Yiyue's hearts all trembled, as if they sensed a sign that something that shouldn't be there was about to happen.

The two people suddenly avoided their sight and dared not look in Ning Yu's direction.

The thought "Don't look directly at the gods" suddenly appeared in my mind.

The gray mist that was very familiar to Ning Yu emerged in front of her, but this time it was not the space where Ning Yu entered Yue Ji.

The stone door slowly opened in the gray fog and opened gently with a rumbling sound.

Yue Ji, who looked exactly like Ning Yu, slowly walked out. Her long silver hair floated in the gray mist, as if it had been dyed this color by the mist.

She had that eternal mysterious smile on her face, and came to Ning Yu silently.

The gray mist gently enveloped Ning Yu, and against the backdrop of the gray mist, the thin golden line between the two became obvious.

A dim energy flowed out from the stone door, transmitted to Yue Ji, and then from Yue Ji to Ning Yu.

An endless kaleidoscope of images began to appear before Ning Yu's eyes: the joys and sorrows of countless people's lives, the succession of dynasties on the same land, the birth, aging, sickness and death of all species, and the movement of stars in the universe.

These images are not just visual impacts, but also all-round impacts on hearing, touch, smell, etc.

Ning Yu heard the cries of dying, the cries of babies being born, the barely audible sound of flowers blooming, and the complete silence of the destruction of stars. Ning Yu smelled the blood of corpses, the dust of desolate deserts, the magnificent spices, and the stench of fertilized fields. Ning Yu felt warmth, coldness, the breeze, and the moisture of raindrops. These things seemed to have no end, and they were going to completely drown Ning Yu, a tiny individual.

Finally, she opened her eyes again, and her amber eyes had completely turned golden, and Yue Ji in front of her was the same as her.

The stone door began to close slowly, and Yueji's figure began to float backwards, returning to the place where she originally belonged.

Ning Yu just stared at Yue Ji blankly, watching her disappear in the underground space, as if nothing had happened just now.

[Ding! Awakening ability obtained: Gate of Xuanpin]

She suddenly heard the system's prompt sound and came back to her senses from her trance. Lacey and Shen Yiyue next to her still tilted their heads and didn't look here.

Ning Yu opened the system panel and looked at the column of her origin.

[Host Origin: " "]

In addition to the existing instructions for copying the abilities of other awakened people, there is a new skill below.

[Gate of the Mysterious Female: With the power of the root, directly extract the origin ability of other awakened origin creatures, obtain its final form and forge it into a disposable ultimate weapon. ]

[Note: After use, the target's origin ability will be greatly degraded. ]

[Usage conditions: The friendship level with the target is close or above]

There is a line of small text below the skill description.

[This is the root of heaven and earth, which lasts forever and is never exhausted.]

After reading the description of this skill, the two people next to him had come to their senses and saw that Ning Yu had returned to his original state.

Judging from the description of the skill, there is only one person who meets the conditions for use, and that is Shen Yiyue.

The description of the friendship between two people is no longer text, but a heart.

As for other awakened people, they can basically only be friendly at best.

If they really get intimate, then I'm afraid something wrong is going to happen.

"The ultimate weapon?"

Ning Yu pondered over this word, fearing that once it was used, it would have a power far beyond her imagination, but at the same time, the target's ability would be greatly degraded.

Such a tactic would probably be used as a last resort, because once Shen Yiyue's ability deteriorated, they would most likely lose the chance to start over.

"It looks like you've got what you wanted."

As if she had completed her mission, Lacey walked back to the metal portal that lit up again.

She threw a small device into Ning Yu's hand and said to her:

"This is a device that allows you to communicate with your sister."

"That's all I can do. It's up to you from now on."

The gold in her eyes quickly disappeared and began to turn back into the icy blue color of her appearance.

Ning Yu took the communicator and nodded silently.

Watching Lacey's figure disappear from the portal, and then with a bang, the portal suddenly tightened and turned into a piece of scrap metal on the ground.

In addition to this new skill, these soul gems also made Ning Yu's attributes skyrocket. She has become much stronger than when she first entered the entire underground project.

But at the same time, the bond between her, Tsukihime and Gengen seemed to have become even deeper.

Ning Yu glanced at the remaining prosthetic remains on the ground. They were all left from the mutated zombies just now. Now they have all turned into nothingness.

She walked over, took Shen Yiyue's hand, and said to her, "Let's go, it's time to meet our old friends."

In a metal space filled with dark red lights.

Ning Xuan felt severe pain and burning sensation. She seemed to be in chaos and her consciousness was very blurred.

When she suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to open her mouth to speak, she found that only her head was left, floating in a pool of liquid.

Completely unable to perceive the rest of her body, she tried to turn her head and see in the light of the dark red light next to her.

Soon she saw something that horrified her:

There are countless containers around, and in each container there is a head exactly like hers.
