Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Chapter 240: Chapter 152: The Dragon Race’s Past Glory, Two Women Meet

After a moment of surprise at Lin Feng’s bold theory, Ling Yi nodded.

But seeing the expectant look on his face, Ling Yi sighed and continued.

"This is a double-edged sword, just like your human bio-modification project that created the Genetic Warriors."

"You know full well that mass-producing Genetic Warriors is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. You’re bound to suffer the bitter consequences eventually, but you insist on seeing it through to the bitter end..."

"However, compared to the unnatural product of the Zerg People fusion, at least their Tier Four Hunting King has not yet been born. Humanity still has a chance to pull ahead."

"But the Lizard-shaped Dragon Race you spoke of existed for 240 million years, even ruling Blue Star completely for 160 million of those years. Over such a vast expanse of time, even a Tier Four Dragon King would perish..."

Lin Feng knew Ling Yi was worried about the greater trouble that might arise from catalytically reviving the Dragon Race. But the Dinosaur Race had been extinct for sixty-five million years, long since turned to fossils. He pressed on.

"So what is there to worry about? We might even be able to fuse human and dragon genes to create Dragonman Warriors, hijacking the Dragon Race’s path to advancement!"

Ling Yi turned to look at the man behind her, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"You’re a quick thinker..."

"But don’t forget what I told you before. No Tier Four Life dies so easily. Time may corrode any immortal vessel, but it cannot erase the powerful will of a Cosmic Life..."

"Their legendary and precious lives are passed down to the next generation forever. Alternatively, through constant evolution, the race can supplement its Genetic Library and give birth to new Cosmic Life."

"For the Dragon Race to have survived for so long, there must have been multiple Tier Four Life forms among them. It’s even possible they had Tier Five or Tier Six members!"

"A Cosmic Race that powerful couldn’t be wiped out by a mere asteroid impact. Furthermore, a High Tier Cosmic Life possesses the Divine Power to directly alter a planet’s natural environment."

Lin Feng froze for a moment, then a possibility quickly came to mind.

"So sixty-five million years ago, the Dragon Race encountered some kind of crisis and migrated as a whole. Or they faced a situation similar to your Zerg Race..."

Ling Yi nodded.

"It was most likely the former. If it were the latter, do you think this Solar System would still exist? The eternal True Gods in the Cosmos... they feed on eternity."

"Not everyone is as lucky as the Zerg Race, chosen to be Apostles and Divine Servants, to wage war across the cosmos."

Lin Feng’s lip twitched.

"That’s the first time I’ve heard enslavement sound so poetic."

"The Zerg Race has been reduced to war machines, like soulless husks. How is that any different from extinction?"

Ling Yi let out a soft laugh and gazed at the Sun on the horizon. The sunlight spilled over her face and white dress. The gentle breeze outlined her graceful, almost ethereal figure, making her resemble a Saintess from mythology. In the sunlight, her pupils sparkled with tiny points of light.

"The Cosmos feeds on the weak. Weakness itself is the original sin."

"At least the Zerg Race’s genes still exist. We haven’t been erased by time."

"And this invasion of the Solar System might just be our best chance to break free from our shackles!" Ling Yi’s tone was resolute. She turned her head to look at the man behind her.

"If you still haven’t comprehended your own Mental Realm in half a month and are unable to kill the High-tier Mother Empress, I will reverse-hatch a Tier Three Dragon Race for you."

"However, after you defeat it, the Solar System will likely become a much busier place."

"The moment that Tier Three Dragon Race is born, its bloodline and genes will activate, allowing it to receive the Realm Inheritance from its ancient ancestors. And as long as a Cosmic Life from the Dragon Race still exists somewhere..."

"The scattered remnants of the Dragon Race will certainly not pass up the chance to return to their homeworld."

"At that point, humanity will be squeezed between warring races, and its hopes for survival will grow even dimmer..."

Hearing Ling Yi’s somber words, Lin Feng fell into a long silence.

Just then, the procession transporting the Swarm arrived at the Suburban Area of Wu City. Seeing the second line of defense drawing closer in the distance, Lin Feng slowly stood up.

"The signal’s back. This is far enough."

"Let me think about how to fabricate an identity for you."

Ling Yi raised a pale, slender hand, and the Red-Armored Beetle Swarm at her feet stopped crawling. She said calmly,

"Just say I’m a human survivor you rescued from Jia City. The Superpower I awakened is Spirit Manipulation... It allows me to control the Low-tier Zerg Race."

Lin Feng was immediately reminded of a peerless beauty whose looks could rival Ling Yi’s—the famous superstar, Jiang Yun’er.

The Superpower she had awakened was Mind Control, which was similar to Spirit Manipulation.

However, Jiang Yun’er’s was only Mind Control, and she clearly couldn’t achieve Ling Yi’s level of control over both mind and body. She was like a low-spec version of a Zerg Race Mother Empress.

Having made his decision, Lin Feng nodded.

"Alright, we’ll go with that!"

"But before we do, I have to lay down three ground rules..."

Ling Yi hummed in agreement, turning her head to look at the distant defensive line and the scattered human soldiers, waiting for him to continue.

Lin Feng held up three fingers.

"First, after we join the Thirteenth Division, you are not to harm any soldiers, unless they attack first. You also can’t manipulate or control them. No more of the games you were playing back in Jia City."

"Second, your identity must not be revealed under any circumstances. You understand the importance of this better than I do. I don’t want to be in a position where we have to silence a lot of people to maintain secrecy."

"And third, about the Genetic Warrior project you promised to help with. I hope you can perfect it as soon as possible. The key issue isn’t the fusion rate, but how to deal with the mental influence of the Zerg Race’s genes on the human test subjects."
