Chapter 558: Chapter 553: The Grand Finale (Part 3)
The earring flashed white light, healing her wounded skin.
In Ji Ning’s confusion, the green light’s attack struck again, this time knocking her to one knee on the ground.
Blood dripped heavily from her body onto the ground.
The white light from the earring was even more dazzling than before, seemingly increasing the energy to heal her wounds.
Ji Ning gasped for breath, difficultly lifting her head, her red-rimmed eyes radiating a puzzled look.
She hadn’t looked closely before, but now she noticed that the patterns on the stone pillar were unexpectedly similar to the ancient characters in the family genealogy.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
"Where exactly is this?"
"Why are there ancient Ji family characters here?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Each sentence squeezed from between her teeth, accompanied by fierce superpower, blasted toward the stone pillar.
But the stone pillar emitting green light didn’t budge an inch, suffering no damage.
Ji Ning was shocked in her heart, gritting her teeth, she jumped up from the ground and sprinted rapidly in one direction.
A loud "boom—" was heard.
Ji Ning’s body was thrown back by an invisible force, crashing heavily to the ground.
The green beams of light seemed to punish her attacks, shooting at her with even stronger energy. Each beam aimed to pierce through her body, destroying various tissues within her, much like the torment she suffered in the green cocoon as a child...
Wait, the green cocoon...
Ji Ning suddenly raised her head, looking at the floating cluster of white light in mid-air.
"It’s transforming my body, isn’t it?"
The white light flashed again, as if affirming her question.
Ji Ning gritted her teeth, climbed up from the ground, sat cross-legged, while bearing the severe injuries caused by the green light, she activated her healing ability within to quickly repair her broken body.
Which damn genius thought of this way to transform a body.
Don’t let me see them, or I’ll definitely kill them.

Elsewhere.
Just after experiencing a fierce battle, the base elite suddenly noticed the surrounding black fog thinning, as if dawn was breaking, faintly revealing the original appearance of the surrounding mountains and forests.
"Is the black fog about to disperse?"
"Look over there..."
A huge inverted triangular silhouette gradually appeared within the black fog.
"What is it?"
"An upside-down pyramid?"
"Should we go check it out?"
A warrior suggested, but was immediately stopped by a comrade next to them.
"No, Captain Ji hasn’t ordered us to go in."
"But she hasn’t ordered us to stay either, has she?"
"Report it first, see what the higher-ups say."
When Fu Lishen arrived with the researchers from the Space Research Center, more than half of the black fog over Region 318217 had dispersed.
They could see quite clearly a giant inverted pyramid, hundreds of meters high, standing beside the mountain.
Everyone cautiously moved forward to check it out, seeing the pitch-black tower body appeared as if naturally carved, without any seams from welding or assembly.
Ye Xingyan’s eyes were alight with wonder, marveling: "This is definitely the product of an external civilization. Look at the structure, the lines, our technology can’t reach this level of craftsmanship..."
"Lao Ye, don’t go any closer. Ahead is the special magnetic field area." Fu Lishen loudly reminded him.
But Ye Xingyan was already immersed in the structure of the extraterrestrial artifact, running forward directly, so quickly that Fu Lishen couldn’t catch him.
"Lao Ye—"
"Damn it! Someone stop him—"
Two high-level superpower warriors assigned to protect them nearby immediately chased after.
But Ye Xingyan had already crossed the safety line drawn by Ji Ning earlier, forcing the two superpower warriors to follow.
As their steps crossed the safety line, the familiar energy around them instantly vanished, as if entering an energy vacuum zone.
The two cautiously gripped their weapons, looking around.
The scenery was the same as seen from outside, just the closer they got to the inverted triangular structure, the greater the pressure felt on their bodies.
"Note, the pressure from the magnetic field here is changing, relax and treat this place as an ocean, you’re diving right now."
Leading the way, Ye Xingyan, a man with an IQ of 200, quickly identified the issues here and found a coping method.
The two immediately adjusted their physical state, and sure enough, the pressure to advance became slightly less.
The trio continued to advance slowly, but soon the pressure from the place stopped them, unable to move forward even a little.
Ye Xingyan stared at the seemingly close structure, unwillingly glaring ahead.
"Can you go any further?"
The two superpower warriors had stronger physiques than Ye Xingyan, allowing them to advance a bit more, but even they stopped after more than 100 meters.
"No more, Professor Ye, this is our limit."
"Damn it! Let’s retreat, and reconsider our plans."
Inside the inverted pyramid, Quell Vis watched the base warriors from Hua Continent emerge outside, with a cold smile on his face.
"Did you really think anyone could enter here? Ants are just ants..."
The Mutant Beast King lying at his feet, humanely rotated its eyeballs, while a certain device on it suddenly emitted a human voice: "God Lord, why insist on her continued evolution? Once she successfully evolves, won’t it be harder for you to obtain this universe’s Ring of Divine Son’s Training?"
"After searching for so long, only now have I found close bloodline to the Son of God. Unexpectedly, her life is so resilient, several assassination attempts failed, and someone secretly assists her, yet I can’t kill her personally. Now I can only let her evolve into a deity to see if she’s truly the destined Son of God of this universe."
"But she might not survive the Divine Trial."
"Then that’s perfect, just one less candidate."
Quell Vis’s gaze turned ruthless, entirely different from his earlier expression.
"This wretch’s physical functions are nearing failure, need to quickly bring over the previously cultivated new puppets."
"Yes, God Lord."
***
Ye Xingyan hadn’t expected that since discovering this inverted triangular structure, not a single superpower user in Hua Continent could approach it.
Even he and Ji Ning’s jointly trained Captain of the Twelve Guards, with a superpower level already breaking through to the 18th Rank, couldn’t touch this inverted triangular structure.
From their observations, Captain of the Twelve Guards diligently stretched out a finger, yet there was still a distance of twenty or thirty meters between his fingertip and the structure.
Such a short distance, yet it took them half a month without coming up with a better solution.
Especially with the area’s special magnetic field, any instruments brought here would malfunction.
They couldn’t accurately determine what this thing was, whether a foreign probe or an extraterrestrial spacecraft?
Just as they were at their wit’s end, a Security Department detective named Du Mu proactively approached, claiming he had a way to get closer to the inverted triangular building.
Ye Xingyan lit up instantly upon hearing his name.
When Ji Ning investigated his background, she checked his ancestors up to eighteen generations back.
His great-grandfather was the sole guide who escaped Region 318217 back then.
Though he died soon after, his corpse carried a unique virus, and the virus sequence closely matched Ji Ning’s DNA sequence.
Originally, Ye wanted to thoroughly research Du Mu to see if his blood contained that special virus but was stopped by Ji Ning.
Who would have thought things would take such a turn, and he indeed had a connection here.
