Chapter 549: Chapter 544: His Future Might Have Been Altered by You
Ji Ning’s eyes reflected a hint of interest, "That sounds quite practical."
The old man grunted, his tone somewhat sour, "Benefits of the Chosen Girl."
The energy within the Green Star Stone is like a complex energy that compresses, purifies, and merges the energy fields generated by all things in the world.
Its essence is somewhat like light, dispersed by a prism into various single-colored lights.
This secret was first discovered by Masha.
She saw countless colors surrounding the Green Star Stone, even more than those around Ji Ning.
Ji Ning asked her to draw it with colored pencils, but even 108 colors weren’t enough.
There were even some colors that didn’t exist in nature, which Masha didn’t know how to describe.
He and Ji Ning were speculating that the energy in the Green Star Stone was a kind of advanced energy unexplainable by modern science, containing many unknown elements, a cosmic code that they currently couldn’t grasp.
But to decipher it, he began considering Masha.
Let her draw or describe the colors she saw, from which he and Ji Ning could perceive the energies’ purposes.
So far, they had decoded more than 500 common natural energy elements from the Green Star Stone.
But he didn’t have Ji Ning’s talent, able to sense only over 100 elements, of which less than half could be used or controlled by him.
This is why he felt envy whenever he saw Ji Ning.
Ji Ning glanced at him, "Jealous, huh?"
The old man restrained his expression, reminding, "You know, I can only see certain snippets of the future, and I’m not sure if this new energy is the special space power you showed in the future."
"Alright, I’ll give it a try. You let Masha come in and have a look in a moment."
"Masha said the energy was near known space energies, very faint in color, like specks of light adhering to space energy," the old man described in detail.
Ji Ning nodded slightly, walked to Fu Yuanxuan, sat on the ground beside him, and closed her eyes.
A vast spiritual power merged into the green light, like a stone dropped into the sea, unable to cause a ripple.
Floating in the energy-woven magnetic field, feeling the rhythms of different energy elements and capturing their movement patterns can easily lead one to obsession.
Ji Ning sat there for a whole day and night, her consciousness only awakened by the forceful interruption of Vis.
A wave of fatigue hit Ji Ning’s brain, and the throbbing pain from her temples was something she hadn’t felt in a long time.
"Where is he?" A white light appeared on Ji Ning’s fingertip, pointing to her temple.
Vis pointed to the door, "Guarding outside."
"Did you test him?"
"No, he insisted on waiting for you to wake up before going."
Ji Ning felt somewhat better in her head before getting up from the ground.
Vis asked concernedly, "Did you feel that kind of energy?"
Ji Ning shook her head, "No, but I did capture several new energies."
Vis felt a bit disappointed, "Don’t worry, take your time. Show me your new superpower."
"Let’s go out first."
Leaning against the door with eyes closed for rest, Fu Yuanxuan immediately opened his eyes at the sound of the door, watching carefully.
Seeing Ji Ning finally come out, his suspended heart slowly settled.
He had seen Ji Ning when she absorbed those energies, the whole person glowing, with hair turning white from the roots as if aging overnight.
If not for her skin showing no signs of aging, he would have thought Ji Ning was finally reverting to her true ancestral appearance.
After all, in terms of time, she was also 141 years old.
"Go and test your physique," Ji Ning pointed to a room not far away.
Fu Yuanxuan immediately walked towards that room.
The old man sighed, "His future may have been altered by you."
"What do you mean?"
"When I first met him, I didn’t see him becoming your successor, but now I do."
"So people’s destinies aren’t set in stone; they change with their choices."
"But not you, your fate has been predetermined by the gods."
Ji Ning paused her steps, turned, and looked seriously into the old man’s eyes.
"Vis, are you sure what you saw were gods? Could they be high-dimensional life forms in extraterrestrial civilizations, just as humans are to ants? In an ant’s perception, a child’s urine could be a flood that destroys their home, making that child the god in their understanding?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, but regardless of what they are, with our current knowledge and abilities, we cannot shake them in the slightest. Only you, the Chosen Girl, can defeat them and be taken to the Divine Domain by the gods..."
Seeing his pupils turn gray again and his mind tending towards insanity, Ji Ning grabbed his arm and shouted in his ear, "The Green Star Stone has been stolen—"
"What? Where’s the thief?"
Seeing him finally regain his senses, Ji Ning released his arm and strode toward the room where Fu Yuanxuan went.
After testing, Fu Yuanxuan’s three control abilities had all advanced.
Wind Ability had reached the sixth rank, Mutated Water Ability had reached the third rank, and Thunder Ability had broken through to the third rank.
Who would have thought he’d awakened superpowers for less than half a year?
Mutated Water Ability and Thunder Ability had both awakened just three days ago.
This superpower advancement speed was comparable to riding a rocket.
Fu Yuanxuan was dumbfounded, staring incredulously at the results displayed on the test screen.
"I said he wasn’t talented. After absorbing Green Star Stone Energy for 20 minutes, he only broke through to the third rank. If he were my grandson, he’d reach at least the fifth rank." The old man walked in with a hand on his back, his tone mocking.
The joy in Fu Yuanxuan’s eyes instantly dimmed.
Ji Ning rolled her eyes at the old man, "Does your grandson have new superpowers awakened?"
"He awakened new superpowers?" The old man looked seriously at Fu Yuanxuan for the first time, releasing spiritual power to sense the energy fluctuations around him.
Surprised, "Indeed, his comprehension is quite good."
Fu Yuanxuan’s pupils widened, turning to Ji Ning excitedly, not even knowing he had awakened new superpowers.
"Leader Ji... did I awaken again?"
"Didn’t you sense it?"
Seeing Ji Ning’s not so friendly look, Fu Yuanxuan quickly shut his mouth, obediently standing by, like a primary school student listening to the homeroom teacher bragging about his grades to other teachers.
"Give me your hand, let me see."
Fu Yuanxuan eagerly extended his hand, seeing Ji Ning’s fingertip glow with white light, pointing to the acupuncture point on his wrist.
A warm energy instantly flowed through his body, spreading through his meridians.
Wherever it passed, it removed the faint pain felt within, filling him anew with strength and vitality.
After checking him over, Ji Ning withdrew her superpower and told him, "Don’t use your superpowers for a week to properly digest."
"Yes—"
...
In the evening, Bai Xiaotang had just entered the hotel restaurant when she saw Ji Ning leading a group of people inside.
An old man, two kids, plus Fu Yuanxuan acting as a bodyguard.
"Ning..." Bai Xiaotang was about to call her, but Bai Yusen stopped her.
Then several representatives from the Outer Continent quickly came to greet them, inviting Ji Ning and her group to a private room.
Then someone said, "My god, is that Chuck Vis, the world’s richest man?"
"Wow, it really is. How come he’s here too? I thought the Vis family would send a representative, not that he’d show up personally."
"Who are those people he’s inviting? Even Huazhou people are among them."
"What’s wrong with Huazhou people?"
"I heard Chuck Vis doesn’t like Huazhou people. Made inappropriate comments in public multiple times, reportedly blacklisted by the Huazhou Alliance."
"Really? Those he’s inviting might be Chinese from the South Continent."
Neglecting the nearby gossip, Bai Xiaotang couldn’t bear it anymore and stood up, loudly declaring to those at the nearby table, "That’s my Sister Ning, a pure-blooded Huazhou person!"
