Within the fenced courtyard, Ye Zichen half-knelt on the ground and pressed his hands against the ground as he panted heavily.
The current him …
His robe was soaked with sweat.
The steaming white was hot air, lingering around his body.
"I'll go."
"What the hell is going on?"
The intense pain stimulated all of Ye Zichen's nerves.
Not long ago, everything was fine.
Just now …
After embedding a level five rune stone into his entire body, Ye Zichen thought about changing the fire resistance rune stone to a level six.
In an instant.
The moment the Rank 6 Rune Stone was embedded.
Intense pain enveloped his entire body. Starting from that acupuncture point on his body, the surging heat energy spread throughout his entire body.
"Take the geno stone!"
Bei Li, who had been monitoring Ye Zichen's data, shouted.
Ye Zichen removed the talisman stone from the acupoint without any hesitation. The heat in his body instantly disappeared, causing him to feel much more relaxed.
"Why is this happening?"
Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown.
This heat wave came too suddenly, without any warning.
Unfortunately …
He didn't have any possibility of defending himself.
If it had been any later …
He felt like he was about to be devoured by the fire element in the rune stone.
"A full body of Level 5 rune stones should be your limit."
"Although the rune stones here are different from the geno stones in the first universe, don't think that breaking through is a simple matter. If you want to break through, you will have to endure the pain."
"I don't know why, but you didn't feel anything before you embedded Level 6."
"In the first universe …"
"Even for a person with a universe-class body strength, fusing with a geno stone would be quite painful."
Bei Li, who stood on Ye Zichen's shoulder, said. After personally witnessing the entire process of Ye Zichen fusing with the talisman, and seeing how Ye Zichen could remove the talisman after adding it, Bei Li was filled with curiosity towards the talisman stones.
"This is weird. Geno stones can be removed."
"Let me tell you, if this is the first universe, absorbing a geno stone is the same as absorbing it. No matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. There is no such thing as suddenly not being able to fuse it halfway."
"That's too painful for you."
It really wasn't that Ye Zichen was spoiled. He'd suffered no less than anyone else.
He thought that his willpower was strong enough.
Unfortunately …
Just now, when the talisman stone was fusing, the pain was simply unbearable for him.
"Do you think gene breakthroughs are child's play?" Bei Li replied, "Genetic breakthroughs are meant to break through the shackles of human genes. Breaking through these shackles is inevitable."
"If you didn't endure that kind of pain …"
"Die!"
There was no hesitation in Bailey's reply.
"Don't think it's unbelievable. Every year, many human beings die because of gene breakthroughs. In the history of the human race, the strongest person who died due to a genetic breakthrough was the Overlord. "
"Hegemon!" Ye Zichen exclaimed.
For the sake of gene breakthrough, even an overlord might die.
This was too terrifying!
"It's all his fault for being too greedy." Bei Li replied, "That overlord was actually an overlord who had been famous for a long time. Unfortunately, his talent had reached its limit and he was unable to advance even half a step in the past tens of thousands of years. At that time, his gene level was already ridiculously high. If humans were to use 1 as a unit of measurement, then his gene level might have already reached 300. In other words, he had 300 times the strength bonus, but he was still not satisfied. "
Three hundred times!
In other words, if he were to face an overlord who had not undergone genetic enhancement, he could fight three hundred of them alone.
Of course, that was impossible!
When one reached the overlord-class, their genes would more or less experience a breakthrough.
Normally, it would be ten times.
Even so, he could still fight thirty overlord-class. Yet, he was still not satisfied.
That sort of battle prowess was enough to stand above everyone else!
He was still not satisfied?
As expected …
Aren't the thoughts of an overlord something ants like us can understand?
"Greed is sometimes a disaster."
"Actually, even if that overlord of yours didn't undergo genetic enhancement, he was still the top of the top in the human race. Even the supreme beings did not dare to say that they could definitely beat him. However, he was too ambitious. He wanted to break through the limit of three hundred times. Then, he forcefully absorbed a gene stone, causing his body to explode and die. When he died, we, the machine race, got the news and celebrated for an entire year, "Bailey shrugged with a smile.
Ye Zichen did not deny it.
The human race and the machine race were enemies.
The fact that he was able to live harmoniously with Bailey meant that he was a rather special existence.
That human overlord was definitely a huge threat to the machine race.
He died!
The machine race had one less great enemy.
Of course they celebrated!
Think about it from another's perspective.
If one of Ye Zichen's great enemies died, then he might have to buy some firecrackers.
"If that's the case, then didn't I almost …"
"Yes, almost," Bailey nodded. "I've been observing your situation. When that level six rune stone was embedded, your entire body's internal system started to collapse. It's fortunate that the rune stone could be removed, otherwise, if it continued to collapse, you would most likely die. "
"Thank the heavens," Ye Zichen sighed. "Then I won't be able to embed rune stones in the future?"
"Of course not," Bailey replied. "Your current limit might be the limit of your current realm. After you break through, your body's strength will increase. At that time, you can continue to undergo genetic breakthroughs. Oh yeah, there should be data on how much your genes have increased, right? "
"Yes."
In the second universe, even though the Virtual Realm Corporation had removed some of the data.
The rune stone system still displayed the data.
Ye Zichen clicked on the details page …
"What happened?"
Bailey couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Zichen remain silent.
"It feels a bit bad," Ye Zichen frowned.
"Bad? How much? "Bailey asked.
"It says that my strength is increased by 2700%, elemental attack and resistance are both increased by 2000%, and health is increased by 3600%."
"How much?!" Bailey shouted.
"27 times strength, 20 times attack resistance, and 36 times health."
Ye Zichen repeated the data, then couldn't help but sigh.
He wasn't too satisfied with this sort of data.
It was only a few dozen times.
The difference between the two of them in any realm was like a chasm.
This bit of increase …
There was no way for him to challenge someone of a higher level.
Ye Zichen clenched his fists.
Ye Zichen really couldn't feel where the 27 times strength increase came from.
It was when the rune stone was embedded …
He could feel the power surging within his body.
Bei Li stared straight at Ye Zichen, then shouted at Ye Zichen's dissatisfied expression.
"You're a monster, right!?"
