Chapter 532 -366: Sparks of Fire
Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, Duan Jie, and Zhao Yaqian were no longer in South City; instead, they each took their respective Pioneer Troops and the City Defense Corps to launch attacks on the cities of Mingshan and Duchuan.
Both troops, with ancestral beasts at their core, led a massive army of descendants, Insect Warrior Troops leading the Insect Legion, and Tree Domain warriors, launching direct assaults on the cities and their surroundings.
The operation had been going on for several days, and after receiving the intention of a large population transfer from the Fenglu Base, the progress had further accelerated.
With the support of Breeding Armor mechas and artillery, both corps had completed a preliminary sweep and stationed the troops and some logistics teams in the two cities.
The monsters hadn’t been completely cleared out, but they couldn’t stir up too much trouble either.
As time went on, even personnel such as the logistics team gained not insignificant combat strength, which could greatly speed up the clearing process.
...
The reason Bai Qilan now said that the population transfer depended on the progress of Zhu Xiong and the others was precisely because of this.
Only with more cities could they accommodate more survivors, making the entire Tree Domain more stable, and allowing aspects such as production and technology to recover faster.
In the following time, Bai Qilan and Bai Qiuwen stopped discussing the matter.
Li Wenyuan’s enhancement drug had been used for the third time. Intense mental fluctuations emanated from the healing nest, covering his entire body in mental energy, with his aura continuously increasing.
By the time the second dose of the drug was injected, the mental trauma had gradually stabilized and was slowly healing.
This third dose of the drug not only completely healed him, but also advanced Li Wenyuan’s strength a bit further.
Half an hour later, the mental fluctuations peaked, and the objects in the entire testing site hummed with noise due to the disturbance from Li Wenyuan’s mental energy.
Bai Qilan took action to maintain order, and then with a humming sound, the mental energy began to converge rapidly.
“He’s about to wake up.”
Bai Qilan and the others looked towards the healing nest, where the remaining bug-quality tissue fluid was being rapidly absorbed, and with no new fluid added, Li Wenyuan’s figure was revealed. His formerly somewhat thin body had ballooned slightly, with his muscle contours more defined.

The healing nest slowly opened, and Li Wenyuan opened his eyes, emerging from it with his salt-and-pepper hair now much darker, looking completely revitalized, with his strength evidently at Fourth Order Superior.
Bai Qilan’s enhancement drug was derived from the Tree Domain’s original enhancement drug system, and it had already integrated the results of the ‘Sea God Gene Project’ and the ‘Severe Winter Drug’, the two projects’ drug research outcomes.
Its efficacy was already extremely powerful, and since it was supported by Fifth-Order materials from the start, when used in conjunction with the healing nest, the effect was all the more evident.
Li Wenyuan, as a Talented One with the gift of inspiration, inherently had strong potential and power. After such a heavy blow and subsequent healing, his strength, in fact, had achieved a breakthrough.
“A blessing in disguise. I never imagined I’d become a Fourth Order Superior just by sleeping. Thank you for your hard work.”
Li Wenyuan, feeling his Fourth Order Superior strength, was even more moved, as this was the research achievement of the Tree Domain, with the effects of the enhancement drug and the healing nest being incredibly potent.
“It’s all for the sake of humanity.”
Bai Qilan modestly did not take credit, as the resources spent were nothing compared to what Li Wenyuan had contributed to Xia Country.
“Elder Li, take a short rest first, I’ll go inform Su Han.”

Fenglu Base, Corpse Burning Valley.
Countless bones and decaying corpses piled up, bones of various thicknesses crisscrossed and supported each other, forming hill-like heaps of bone mountains that almost filled the entire valley.
“The Soul of the Undead can be used as a lower-grade material to raise the Fusion Degree of the Foolish Dead God’s Power, but the conversion ratio is still a bit too low, only 29% with so many carcasses.”
Looking at such an enormous number of Undead Race carcasses, Su Han couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled.
There were around three hundred thousand remains of the Undead Race here, of which more than a hundred thousand were remnants of his own Ice Ghost King’s forces after completing LV1 Soul of the Undead, while the rest were those killed by the Fenglu Base in the recent period that had not yet been fully processed.
Such a huge quantity, when converted into Foolish Dead God’s Power, amounted to only so much.
“The Foolish Dead God’s Power obviously improves the Ice Ghost King a lot. Merely 29% Fusion, but skills like Deathly Ice and Undead Control have seen a latent boost, increasing by at least 20%. If the fusion is complete, reaching Fifth Order Intermediate shouldn’t be a problem, and even a form advancement is not out of the question.”
The metamorphosis of skills isn’t just evident during qualitative upgrades; the latent improvements during the fusion process likewise allow Su Han to make some judgments about the fusion status.
He appeared thoughtful, looking at the Ice Ghost King beside him, which resembled an ice ghost, and pondered his next plan.
There was no way to interrupt the fusion of the Foolish Dead God’s Power; once interrupted, it was unknown when he would be able to obtain such fusion materials again.
As long as the fusion is complete, even if it’s just LV1, he could then continually upgrade his level through the fusion of lower-grade materials.
So, the only path available to Su Han was to continue searching for the lower-grade material: Soul of the Undead.
“After completing the Star Torch Second Phase plan, I’ll get Elder Li to provide clues, and enter the Great Blood Sea to search for the Blood Sea Space of the Undead Race. It’s a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, protecting the population transfer.”
