Chapter 1712 - Nurturing a Sun Wasn’t Bad

Chapter 1712: Nurturing a Sun Wasn’t Bad

An Lin had never been in such a farcical situation.

He was about to be burned to death, but he had to keep persevering.

He was on the verge of tears, but those tears were evaporated by the sun before they could be shed.

Instead of him swallowing a sun, it was as if someone were roasting him on the sun.

An Lin was still sucking in the energy of the sun, and a black light flashed in his eyes, exuding boundless engulfment power.

The sun became smaller and smaller, but it also became more and more dazzling.

After the outer layers had been swallowed by An Lin, the core that was revealed was the true essence of the sun. This essence was scorching to the extreme, and the power of yang was also concentrated to the extreme, making it flow into An Lin’s mouth like a viscous paste.

“Hmm... Glug glug glug...”

An Lin was still being forced to swallow, as if he were drinking the strongest alcohol in this world; alcohol that could set him on fire.

His sea of vital energy was already bubbling and churning and was even beginning to evaporate from the scorching power of the sun.

An Kirin was sh*tting himself. With all his might, he blasted the sun with his lightning, all to no avail.

In contrast, the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird was inspecting the sun with a curious expression, but it didn’t do anything aside from swallow with a hint of yearning.

The large ball of flames above the sea of vital energy rose higher and higher, expanding the space within the sea of vital energy as a result. As the energy from the sun’s core was being absorbed into the sea of vital energy, the ball of fire gained the essence of yang, the essence of the Golden Crow, and the essence of matter. An aura of pure yang began to erupt forth.

In the Divine Mirror World.

An Lin was barely holding onto consciousness through sheer force of will.

He was really afraid that the sun would reduce him to a piece of charcoal before he managed to swallow the sun.

An Lin wasn’t even hurting anymore. He had been completely cooked, and there were no longer any nerves in operation that could transmit the signal of pain to his brain.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally swallowed the last bit of viscous white paste, and the world fell dark again...

“Classmate An Lin!”

“Master!”

“Holy Leader!”

All of his friends rushed toward him.

Bai Ling’s coffin was at the ready, and she charged forward at the forefront of the group before aiming a kick at the coffin in front of her.

The transparent white coffin rose into the sky, and the coffin lid opened automatically to catch An Lin before closing over the coffin again, upon which the coffin landed onto the ground, seemingly all in one motion.

Everyone surrounded the coffin and looked at An Lin with tears in their eyes.

Xu Xiaolan’s hand was clasped over her mouth, and her eyes were filled with incredulity.

An Lin’s entire body was charred black, and he was completely unrecognizable.

“Burns covering 99.999% of the body, remaining bodily functions 0.1%, signs of life extremely feeble...” the coffin’s cold, mechanical voice sounded, as if it was announcing An Lin’s death.

Su Qianyun, Xuanyuan Cheng, Da Bai, Xue Zhantian, Cassidy, and everyone else immediately unleashed their most powerful healing spell techniques upon An Lin.

Xu Xiaolan had pulled out an immortal pill from her storage ring and was about to feed it to him.

However, Bai Ling stopped her from doing so. “In this situation, even consuming an immortal pill will do nothing as his body is no longer capable of absorbing the immortal pill’s energy...”

“What do we do then?” Xu Xiaolan was in extreme distress.

“Don’t panic. I have some specially formulated divine fluids here. Even if An Lin has stopped breathing, I can take him back from the Grim Reaper!” A confident expression appeared on Bai Ling’s face as she slapped a hand onto the transparent coffin.

All of a sudden, the coffin began to tremor violently. A type of extremely dazzling and beautiful blue liquid gushed forth from the bottom of the coffin, bathing An Lin within and healing his injuries at a rate discernible to the naked eye.

“The Purple Star life project has already developed to the stage where it can recall one’s soul. I have the confidence to save An Lin in his current state,” Bai Ling said in a calm voice.

Everyone was struck by a profound sense of respect upon hearing this.

The Purple Star Civilization’s technology was constantly challenging the limits of their imagination.

Bai Ling was quite reliable in some aspects, so everyone was quite relieved to have her on the scene.

Two hours later, An Lin’s external injuries had been completely healed.

One day later, An Lin’s internal injuries had also been completely healed.

Three days later, An Lin finally woke up!

The first thing he saw was a very unfamiliar coffin lid. Then, he was greeted by the sight of everyone gathering around the coffin, spectating him like a tourist attraction.

“Hey, he’s awake! He’s awake, woof!”

“An Lin, how do you feel now?”

“Master is bad*ss! You really did manage to swallow the sun! Let’s swallow the heavens next!”

“Classmate, what did the sun taste like?”

“Explosion is the only eternal truth, it is the meaning of life. The essence of the sun is also an explosion. Classmate An Lin, did you attain enlightenment?”

All of his friends showered him with questions, and all of them were very elated that he was awake.

An Lin was also quite elated by the fact that he was still alive. When he swallowed the sun, he really did feel like he was about to be burned to death. He never wanted to experience that terrifying feeling again!

Immediately afterward, he detected his own aura, upon which his expression froze on his face.

“What happened? My-my cultivation base hasn’t improved?” An Lin’s eyes widened, and he felt like a sword had been stabbed viciously into his heart.

He had already swallowed the sun! He had risked his life to complete this impossible mission, so why had he not progressed to the Return to Void Final Stage!?

An Lin hurriedly turned his attention to his system.

There was already a change that had taken place in his cultivation base tab!

[Return to Void Final Stage: Swallow a sun. Mission progression: 2/100.]

This...

So swallowing a sun only completed two percent of the mission?

He had to swallow fifty suns to complete this mission?

Holy f*ck! Were the heavens trying to kill him?

An Lin’s entire body trembled, and he almost fell unconscious from his rage.

Wait! Something wasn’t right!

He turned toward his system mission again, upon which he discovered that something was amiss.

He took a deep breath before focusing his gaze again.

There was something like a progress bar that was slowly lengthening.

The mission progression was progressing on its own!

An Lin seemed to have figured something out, and he immediately turned toward his sea of vital energy.

Above his sea of vital energy, an incandescent sun hung in the sky, releasing glorious light.

His dark sea of vital energy was not extremely bright, and An Kirin, the little whale, and the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird were in extremely high spirits as they played joyfully on the sea of vital energy.

Their house finally had a light!

An Lin fell into deep thought as he surveyed the lively scene taking place in his sea of vital energy.

Hmm... There was a new strange object in his sea of vital energy...

An Lin could even feel that the sun in his sea of vital energy was still growing, as if it was something that was about to incubate and would evolve with sufficient accumulation of time.

An Lin carefully surveyed the rate of progression on his system mission and silently calculated the time.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that had him jumping for joy.

He would be able to progress to the Return to Void Final Stage a hundred days from now!
