"It's been so long, why is there still no news?"
On the 1049th floor of the Sky Center, Xu's Biology Company.
Xu Mude stood with his hands clasped behind his back in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance at Yuan City, his brows deeply furrowed.
He had a bad premonition.
The last ssage he received from Xu Wenkui was several hours ago, saying she was about to make contact with Xue Jing.
Logically, with the abilities of her eyes, it should have been a swift battle.
If she had succeeded, she would have definitely sent him a ssage...
But now, several hours had passed, and there was no news at all. The situation was probably...
Could it be that Xue Jing was really that difficult to deal with, that not even the Silent Nether Nest Eye could take him down?
"Director Xu!"
As Xu Mude was anxiously pondering, a sudden urgent call from a subordinate ca from beside him.
His spirit lifted, thinking there was finally news, he imdiately turned his head to look, only to see his subordinate with a face full of panic:
"Director Xu, there seems to be a problem upstairs!"
Hearing this, Xu Mude's heart skipped a beat.
This was the worst news he did not want to hear, even worse than failing to ambush Xue Jing.
"Buzz—"
Just then, a vibrating hum ca from above, and the nearby floor-to-ceiling window cracked, with several fissures appearing and gradually spreading.
Seeing this scene, Xu Mude's expression drastically changed, and he imdiately ordered:
"Destroy all experintal subjects imdiately, move it!"
"Yes!"
...
Xu Wenkui felt like she was sinking endlessly downward.
She couldn't control herself, as if she had fallen into a pitch-black marsh, being swallowed deeper and deeper with no room to struggle.
In a daze, she saw many strange and bizarre illusions.
In the chaotic space where there was no distinction between up, down, left, right, past, or present, she faintly saw many great entities lurking within.
Indeed, without knowing why, she instinctively could only refer to these oddly shaped entities as 'great.'
She saw a red mist spreading infinitely, saw flesh masses larger than stars yet emanating maternal warmth that wasn't frightening, and beside the red mist and flesh, there was an abrupt nothingness.
She saw a withered tree towering even higher than the Sky Center, saw the throne ford by the condensation of death, saw the dimness of a decaying halo, and in a colorless void, endless tentacles reached out.
She saw an eerie human form dressed in gowns in the red vast lake, saw beautiful twins golden and rcurial, saw wise elders imprisoned in a bizarre jail eternally pondering, saw a furnace enveloping and burning the world inside itself.
She saw a cancerous growth sprawled on a planet, witnessed a scaleless great fish in the depths of eternal frozen hell, and a corpulent one with a rat's head, laughing as it devoured filth.
Ultimately, she saw a strange entity composed entirely of eyes.
She was slowly absorbed by this entity of eyes, about to rge into it, her consciousness peaceful and serene, effortlessly relaxed, and involuntarily she closed her eyes gently.
Ti passed unbeknownst to her, and just as she felt lighter and nearly dissipating, all of a sudden she felt weight again.
Cold, trembling...
She involuntarily opened her eyes and woke up.
Xu Wenkui felt sore and weak all over. Her eyes reflexively moved around, landing on the beautiful youth sitting in a chair next to her, looking at sothing on his phone.
Seemingly noticing her awakening, the ridiculously handso youth glanced at her, looking down from above and raising his eyebrows, he smiled and said:
"You're awake? The surgery was very successful."
Hearing this, her mories flooded back, and she gradually beca lucid, recalling the current situation.
"Ugh..."
Xu Wenkui sat up, holding her head, and then realized she was naked, with only a grey coat draped over her body.
She pulled the coat up to cover her full chest, without saying much, knowing that any treatnt for a prisoner wouldn't be surprising.
"...Why didn't you kill ? Why is my mutation rate..."
Xu Wenkui asked doubtfully.
Xue Jing put away his phone and slipped it back into his pocket, saying:
"Miss Xu, you seem a bit confused about the situation. Right now, it should be asking you, not you asking ."
Xu Wenkui cocked her head and said calmly:
"Then ask away, I'll tell you everything."
Xue Jing smiled, "Good, what a good child."
Xu Wenkui's expression turned slightly odd.
Being called a good child by a youth not yet an adult...
```
Xue Jing thought for a mont, then spoke, "Then first off, why is Xu Mude so urgently in need of the Wind of All Beginnings? What does he need it for?"
Without hesitation, Xu Wenkui softly began, "The 'God-Man Project'…"
"He intends to use himself as a blueprint, to create stable and controllable 'Divine', in order to climb the ranks within our Xu's hierarchy. To this end, he needs the Wind of All Beginnings to suppress experint subjects who are not yet fully matured and are still prone to losing control…"
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, "What exactly is a 'Divine'?"
Xu Wenkui looked at him in surprise, "You're clearly one of Miss Wu Da's n, and you don't know this?"
Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I ask, you answer; don't say anything unnecessary."
Xu Wenkui tightened the coat around her and said,
"'Divine' is a byproduct of 'Adam'…"
As she spoke, she observed Xue Jing's expression. Seeing the confusion on his face, she quickly added,
"GOD-023·Divine Child Adam, is a biological Divine Relic… and is the only Divine Relic thus far to have been created by the hands of humans."
"Its specific origins, the reason for its creation, are highly classified; only a few people in the world know... But according to our speculation, it's very likely related to 'God'."
"'Adam' is a living being with human appearance, human anatomy… but it lacks consciousness, has never woken up, and remains comatose. Yet, it doesn't rot or decay, its bodily state eternal and unchanging, requiring no sustenance, and simply keeps living."
Xu Wenkui spoke slowly.
"According to information from the New Beiyang Council, the reason Adam is like this is because of a special elent called 'Divine Factor' within its body…"
"This elent has nurous applications. For example, a significant amount of 'Divine Factor' is required if one wishes to perform 'Longevity Surgery'."
"And the so-called 'Divine' is a bio-weapon fashioned after 'Adam' as a prototype…"
"Such bio-weapons are incredibly powerful, with physical qualities so high they can match a Limit Breaker. Depending on how much Divine Factor they contain, they may even reach the levels of a Fifth Breaking Limit or a Sixth Limit Breaker. So special individuals even possess various bizarre abilities that defy the laws of physics."
"Originally, although many forces within our Zhuxia territory coveted the power of Divine, because they had no 'Adam' as a reference, all plans to create Divine had little progress."
"But a while ago, Xu Mude sohow utilized so thod, managed to reach a deal with the New Beiyang Council, and acquired a portion of Adam's flesh…"
With Xu Wenkui's narration, Xue Jing gradually understood the causality.
So, the experint subjects with appearances similar to Xu Mude that he saw on level 1097 are the so-called 'Divine'.
"Divine does not possess higher intelligence like humans, lack any trace of consciousness or spirit, and only operate on physical instincts, making them highly prone to losing control. The Wind of All Beginnings must always be at hand to suppress them, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Right now, Divine have the potential to lose control at any mont… No, without the Wind of All Beginnings and without these eyes of mine to suppress them, perhaps they have already begun to run amok."
Xu Wenkui stated indifferently.
Xue Jing smiled thoughtfully and comnted,
"Miss Xu, you speak very frankly. Earlier as well, you directly revealed that Xu Mude sent you… What are your intentions?"
Xu Wenkui shook her head:
"I am serving Xu's, not Xu Mude. I previously wanted to give him so discomfort, and as for now... A prisoner like naturally says whatever there is to say, lest getting tornted before speaking up... The Sixth Agency has many ans to reveal what I'm hiding, it's pointless for to conceal anything now."
Xue Jing nodded, "You're quite talented; I don't even feel much like killing you… but to just let you go would make seem too kind-hearted. Wouldn't everyone then take for an easy target in the future?"
"What do you think I should do?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenkui silently let her coat slip off, revealing her ample figure…
Xue Jing asked with an expressionless face, "What are you doing?"
Xu Wenkui stood up and walked calmly towards Xue Jing, "Paying the price…"
Xue Jing's mouth twitched slightly, "Is this you paying the price, or is it … Sit down."
Xu Wenkui quietly sat down on the floor beside him, her long legs slightly bent, showcasing her above-average physique.
...Do all these won have so serious issues with their brains?
Xue Jing was speechless.
He always felt that whenever he encountered a female enemy, she would pull sothing like this.
Damn… Do I look like a lustful spirit?
Xue Jing stood up and walked out, stepping over the coat on the ground.
As he left the compartnt, the coat on the ground moved without wind, floating up to wrap Xu Wenkui tightly. An invisible rift in the air opened, and a steel cable erged, binding the coat-wrapped Xu Wenkui up tightly, like a zongzi.
In the cabin, as Xue Jing erged from the compartnt, Ning Yuantai imdiately stood up and asked,
"Xue, how did it go?"
Xue Jing recounted Xu Wenkui's explanation of the Divine plan, and after listening, Ning Yuantai frowned and said,
"So that's what it is... What do we do now, Xue?"
Xue Jing thought for a mont, then said, "For starters, we need to inform the governnt of the Inner Ring… These 'Divine' could lose control at any mont; they need to be prepared in advance."
"As for us…"
He hesitated, then continued, "Head straight to Sky Center."
Although it wasn't primarily his responsibility… since he was the one who stole the Wind of All Beginnings, he should still do what he could.
…
