"Little, Little Sunflower," Li Yuan murmured.
"Dad!" Xiao Kui rushed to her father and hugged him tightly.
The father and daughter acted as if they hadn't seen each other for years.
"Four attributes, and all of them are elemental attributes, it's unbelievable."
“A miracle, this is a miracle.”
"This child will definitely surpass S-class in the future."
"Quickly, report the situation to the Alliance headquarters."
Several bigwigs gathered around.
"Xiao Kui, you did it! That's amazing!" Li Yuanxi said.
"Uh-huh."
"Xiao Kui, how are you feeling now?" Tang Ning quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Hmm, it seems okay." Xiao Kui left her father's embrace.
She stretched out her little hand, and a ball of water instantly appeared in her palm.
Immediately afterward, the water sphere disappeared, and a ball of fire reappeared.
"Good, good, good! You can control your superpowers so quickly. You're even better than those born with superpowers," Tang Ning praised.
"Really?" Xiao Kui asked in surprise.
"Your name is Xiao Kui, right? Come here and let me see you," Old Tang said with a kind smile.
Xiao Kui looked at the unfamiliar old man with some confusion.
“This is my grandfather,” Tang Ning said quickly.
Xiao Kui then obediently stepped forward.
Old Tang grasped Xiao Kui's hand, and a surge of energy flowed from his hand into Xiao Kui's body.
"It's incredible that water and fire can coexist harmoniously, and there's also thunder and wind. It shouldn't be like this," Old Tang said in surprise.
Even if a superhuman possesses two superpowers, it's impossible for them to have opposing attributes. For example, the common water and fire superpowers shouldn't exist at the same time. But Xiao Kui happens to have both of these superpowers, and they coexist peacefully within her body. How can this not be surprising?
“This is a spiritual root,” Li Daoyi suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at him.
"Sir, what is this spiritual root you just mentioned?" Old Tang released Xiao Kui and asked Li Daoyi.
“Spiritual root is the innate attribute of each person. It is Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Qi of nature. All things in nature have various attributes, and humans are no exception. The reason why you awaken various superpowers is actually a manifestation of the mutation of your spiritual root,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
Everyone was even more confused upon hearing this, as there were clearly no legends of immortal cultivators, let alone Taoist or Buddhist sects, in this world.
"Don't you understand yet?" Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
Everyone was extremely embarrassed; they simply couldn't understand it.
Old Tang said respectfully.
"Forgive our ignorance, sir, we hope you can enlighten us."
"All things in the universe originated from chaos, which, to put it simply, is the beginning of the universe. Chaos is everything, containing all the elements you are familiar with: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the five elements. From this, we can extend to attributes such as thunder, ice, and wind, including power, mind, spirit, and material things."
“Everyone is born with a spiritual root, which is the foundation of what you call superpowers. The size and composition of the spiritual root determine the type of superpower a person can awaken. If the spiritual root is too small, it cannot be awakened, while if the spiritual root reaches the required level, one can naturally awaken a superpower,” Li Daoyi explained.
"I see, I understand a little now." Old Tang nodded.
"Sir, how do you know about this? We've never heard of it before," General Chen asked.
Do you know anything about cultivators?
"Cultivators, what are those?"
Everyone said in unison.
"Immortals comprehend the universe, break through the limits of their bodies through cultivation, and enter another life form, possessing the ability to transcend life and death. They can pluck stars and grasp the moon with a wave of their hand, and overturn rivers and seas with any power. Immortality is the foundation of immortality," Li Daoyi explained, swirling the coffee in his hand.
Everyone was bewildered but impressed. Although they couldn't understand most of what was being said, they understood the last sentence: immortality.
"Can immortals truly live forever?"
“Of course.” Li Daoyi nodded.
"Sir, are you perhaps an immortal?" Tang Ning couldn't help but ask.
Li Daoyi shook his head.
Disappointment was evident on everyone's faces.
"Alright, now that Xiao Kui has successfully awakened, we should go." At this moment, Li Daoyi stood up from the sofa.
"Ah, this..." Everyone was immediately taken aback.
Before they could say anything, Li Dao waved his hand and disappeared with Xiao Kui and her father.
This scene completely stunned everyone.
"Space... spatial ability."
"The legendary superpowers, they're not just legends, they really exist."
"No...it's not a superpower," Tang Lao said, taking a deep breath.
"Grandpa." Tang Ning couldn't help but look at the old man.
"There are no supernatural energy fluctuations, so it must be the ability of a cultivator he mentioned," the old man said with great certainty.
"But didn't he say he wasn't an immortal?" someone asked doubtfully.
Old Tang shook his head and said.
"I don't know, but this person can no longer be measured by superpower level. It's unbelievable how such a person could appear, as if he appeared out of thin air."
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for someone from above to arrive. This person is beyond our comprehension. Ning'er, you should still go to Xiao Kui's house. Whatever they ask for, you must fulfill it."
"I have a feeling that things are about to change," Old Tang murmured.
"Why is the world changing, Grandpa?" Tang Ning asked. The others also looked puzzled.
“I am already ninety years old, and I am a psychic. I believe I can see through anyone, but what I saw in that person was nothingness, an existence far beyond my imagination. I even suspect that he has the ability to destroy this world,” Old Tang said in a deep voice.
"puff..."
After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"grandfather."
"Old Tang."
The crowd gasped and quickly helped him up.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Tang Ning cried.
“Mental backlash…” General Chen said.
"It truly is something beyond my imagination." After saying this, the old man fainted.
Outside the city of Shanghai, in the Li family's courtyard.
The father and daughter stared blankly at their surroundings, rubbed their eyes, and then realized that this was their home.
"I...we're home?" Li Yuan stammered.
"What, you don't even recognize your own home?" Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"No, but just now..."
"Brother, I'm hungry," Mengmeng said, pouting her little mouth.
"Alright, stop worrying about it. Mengmeng is hungry. We still have the meat from yesterday, don't we?" Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll get right on it." Li Yuan snapped out of his daze and stopped worrying about it.
Xiao Kui still looked incredulous. The events of today were too shocking for her, who was only twelve years old. She actually had five superpowers, something she had never dared to imagine before.
"Oh right, lollipops." A memory flashed through Xiao Kui's mind.
During her awakening, it felt as if some kind of energy entered her body from the lollipop in her mouth. The feeling was very pleasant, like being in her mother's arms. Many colorful lights appeared in her mind, and she kept chasing them. Just when she was exhausted, the energy reappeared, giving her hope, and she finally caught a few lights.
"Mengmeng, thank you for the lollipop." Xiaokui suddenly walked towards Mengmeng and hugged her.
"Eeya? Hehehe..." The little guy immediately burst into laughter.
"Indeed clever." Li Daoyi nodded with satisfaction; the child had finally guessed it.
“Although your abilities have awakened, they are too primordial. Here is a cultivation technique; study it carefully.” After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he pointed his finger at Xiao Kui’s forehead. A flash of white light disappeared, and a golden light flashed in Xiao Kui’s eyes. Instantly, a cultivation technique appeared in her mind.
"The Immortal Scripture of the Great Void," Xiao Kui murmured.
In just a moment, she not only obtained a cultivation technique, but also understood all the information within it. Such a miraculous thing made her look up at Li Daoyi in shock.
"Don't tell anyone, okay?" Li Daoyi bent down and tapped the little girl's forehead.
Xiao Kui naturally knew what this meant and nodded quickly.
the next day.
Tang Ning appeared in the courtyard early in the morning.
After Li Daoyi lazily walked out of the house, Tang Ning came up.
"Doesn't the gentleman consider me a friend? He just abandoned me and ran away," Tang Ning complained.
"Hahaha... Good morning." Li Daoyi laughed.
“My grandfather fainted yesterday,” Tang Ning continued.
“I know he’ll be fine. Spitting out that blood is good for his health,” Li Daoyi said to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was immediately shocked. The other party knew so much. And it was indeed true; her grandfather woke up quickly after being taken to the hospital, and his health was even better than before, to the point that even the doctors didn't know why. It was precisely because the old man was safe and sound that she wouldn't have been in the mood to come here.
“Psychic abilities, that sounds impressive. Not only can you see into other people’s minds, but you can also control them. However, without the mental discipline to master such abilities, it will only backfire. Fortunately, your grandfather was a gentleman and rarely used this ability, otherwise he wouldn’t be alive today,” Li Daoyi said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, although Grandpa has this ability, he rarely uses it. He always says that it is an ability that offends others, and he should not use it if he can avoid it.” Tang Ning nodded quickly.
"Why have I never heard you talk about your parents?" Li Daoyi asked at this moment.
“My parents died when I was very young; they died in an alien attack,” Tang Ning said sadly.
"Oh, how pitiful. It seems there are many people in the world in the same situation."
“Alien beast, alien, interesting.” Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
Li Daoyi then sat down in a chair and began to ponder.
Originally, I was looking for a new Heart of the World, and this world just happens to have one. But if I take the Heart of the World, then no more superhumans will be born in this world. Even if I solve the current alien beast crisis for them, there is no guarantee that there won't be other dangers in the future. I can't just destroy the entire universe, can I?
"Integration." Suddenly, a word flashed through Li Daoyi's mind.
