Chen Yu praised the Hōgyoku like never before.
Inside the shelter room—
laughter echoed continuously.
For several minutes—
Chen Yu danced excitedly and roared madly without caring about appearance at all.
Because now—
everything had changed completely.
The Hōgyoku could purify Life Geno Essence.
That discovery alone was terrifying.
Inside the First Sanctuary—
super creatures were nearly impossible for ordinary humans to benefit from directly.
But the Hōgyoku had forcefully purified the Life Geno Essence and made it consumable safely.
Chen Yu slowly calmed down after several minutes.
Then the excitement inside the eyes gradually became serious thought.
"This is too important…"
If enough super creatures could be obtained in the future—
then super geno points could continuously increase rapidly.
Even thinking about it made the heartbeat accelerate.
For some time—
Chen Yu continued laughing almost maniacally inside the shelter room.
The Hōgyoku had finally shown another terrifying function.
And now—
Chen Yu no longer believed the Hōgyoku's abilities ended there.
Silence gradually returned to the room.
Chen Yu slowly sat down alone.
Then thoughts began appearing continuously inside the mind.
Transmigration.
The Alliance.
The Sanctuary.
Meeting Han Yan.
The black crystal.
The Hōgyoku.
Everything felt unreal even now.
Chen Yu quietly stared toward the ceiling.
Originally—
the plan was only survival.
But now—
the future path had already changed completely.
And the greatest unknown remained the Hōgyoku itself.
Chen Yu still did not understand:
where the Hōgyoku came from
why it chose Chen Yu
how many abilities it still possessed
or what its true purpose actually was
Inside the Sea of Consciousness—
the cracked Hōgyoku floated silently again as if nothing had happened.
But now—
Chen Yu no longer dared underestimate it.
