Chapter 846: Chu Fan’s Theories

Then, the heat began to rise greater and greater. Suddenly, a fiery ball exploded in the middle of the river. Some prospectors that were standing nearby were completely vaporized!

In the thick fog of burning vapors in the middle of the Styx, they saw a man cloaked in wild, violent flames. The ice that was formed on the Styx was completely vaporized alongside the river water around the man.

“Huh, that old prick is here? This old fart has woken up and walked out of his ice coffin. That’s new. Is he finally not afraid of death?”

The man had skin as dark as the ebony. He had a spread of ghastly grin on his face, showcasing his pure white teeth.

Then, he went into the dimensional crack in one leap.

After seeing the man leave, the prospectors and people who were on-looking by the river finally opened their mouths while trembling in fear.

“... It’s the Hellfire Ifrit!”

“Ayshan! That man is definitely Ayshan!!”

“Should we inform the boss? Ayshan is here! It’s gotten really dangerous now!”

“Perhaps... we should do that after an hour... who knows, maybe Hellfire Ifrit would just leave the entrance alone...”

These men were overwhelmed by fear. They were afraid of this man—the most powerful entity in the North African Republic Alliance.

A moment later, a few S-tiers too had arrived. There were some that were renown and infamous throughout the world; there were also some that were literally unknown to the world.

Naturally, this news had spread quickly into the Blood River Realm too.

***

In the Blood River Realm.

Humans had worked together with the North African Republic Alliance to take on the Gorefiends and mutant plants in the bloodbath warzone. Inspired by Qin Feng, these people gradually had their own bases of influence in this realm.

However, the Fengli Organization—the first group that ventured into this realm had already dwelled deeper into the realm and away from the bloodbath warzone. The Fengli Organization’s aircraft had now journeyed so deep that they were looming above the Gorefiends’ habitat.

The resources around there were scarcer than the entrance of the realm; however, there was less fighting happening here.

This, of course, was all expected.

After a huge dimensional crack like that happening, this would inevitably have attracted the attention of many. And as many people congregated at the realm’s entrance, battles would break out. This was why and how the bloodbath warzone was formed.

And as more and more fighting happened, Gorefiends too had greatly multiplied in number. This meant that the Gorefiends had mostly flocked to the dimensional cracks and away from their original habitat.

Still, even though there were not as many Gorefiends in this area, the mutant plants were still very vicious.

Suddenly, a spatial tunnel was torn open in the sky before a small aircraft flew into view. The aircraft then approached Qin Feng’s aircraft and docked into it.

A group of men cloaked in white lab coats walked onto Qin Feng’s deck. These men were not particularly strong in presence; but they had a manic confidence spreading across their face.

They were the researchers that came from Fengli’s headquarters. And their leader was a young boy—Chu Fan.

Chu Fan’s small aircraft was a special model—specifically remodeled to be both a transport and a lab. The purpose of Chu Fan’s visit was to report on his research findings to Qin Feng.

Flipping through the research papers presented to him, Qin Feng’s face turned stern.

Chu Fan was definitely a genius. He could very well be smarter than Z. The new awakening serum that he had developed was so effective that it reached 100% chance of awakening in normal human beings.

However, there was something mentioned in the papers that bothered Qin Feng.

“So, you’re saying that this serum isn’t suitable for every human? And if I’m reading this correctly, it would be better for them to just acquire their powers in the overlapped space? But this would mean that they would not learn to use their internal energy and consciousness—awakening only their physical strength...”

The ultra beast corpses that they had brought back were thoroughly studied. As a result, they discovered a unique mold on them. This mold could trap energy in it and change a human’s body. When absorbed, the human body would be altered and attain the ability to absorb energies. They could then acquire energy by devouring anything that was brimming with energies or runes, resulting in the body becoming powerful and resilient.

However, there was a catch—this would only strengthen their bodies and awaken their physical potentials, but not awaken their internal energy and consciousness.

The good part about this way of awakening was that one could keep on getting more and more energy like this without fail—as long as they kept on devouring energy.

Due to the mold’s influence, no one could harness internal and conscious energies in the Fettering Lands.

The researchers had an interesting hypothesis as to how this happened. They theorized that this mold had the ability to absorb and lock internal energy and runes within them in order to strengthen the physical elements of a living creature’s body. It had genetically altered every living being in the Fettering Land to become energy blackholes that kept on absorbing energies and runes around them.

This meant that as long as the mold and the creatures they created existed in the Fettering Land, there would be no internal energy and runes found in the air. If one needed to acquire power, he would need to devour another living being.

This was why the ability users and ancient warriors felt as though their bodies were completely restricted—as though their powers were chained up.

What a depressing world!

If they were to release this version of serum—the serum that was created from these molds... would it mean that a few years later their own realm would become like the Fettering Land too?

Chu Fan, however, was not too worried about the repercussions. He smirked, “We humans are not even an overlord species in our own realm. Is there really any room for us to consider all these nuances? Just take all these theories with a grain of salt, alright? Think about it. Before the End-times, the human race was studying to learn about the lifespan of the sun. They feared that if the sun had exhausted its lifespan, the Solar System would then collapse and humans would die along with it. Yet, before they could worry about that, the End-times happened. So, even if it could happen, we would never live to see the day our realm becomes another Fettering Land.”

“Perhaps. But is there really no way to solve this?”

“There’s an easy way to solve this. This is also why I’ve come.”

“Oh?”

“Spatial Overlap and Collapse! It’s a really fascinating research problem to dwell on! Why has our realm entered an era where dimensional cracks are appearing everywhere? Is this because of these energies being awakened in our realm? Or is it because these other realms’ energies had spiked so much that it caused a massive energy imbalance in their worlds? This is all too fascinating to not research on!”

Qin Feng was speechless after learning what Chu Fan had on his mind. Perhaps, this was the fervent passion of a scientist—the passion to discover the truth of the world!

“Well, you are free to research this on your own.”

Qin Feng did not want to dwell on this topic with Chu Fan. If Z were here, he might actually react with smugness due to how much normie of a reaction that Qin Feng was displaying here.

Chu Fan too had seen Qin Feng’s reaction. He lifted his face proudly. “I still have some goodies that I’ve brought with me though. Are you sure you’re not interested at all?”

Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

He did not urge or ask the boy to show it to him. Chu Fan had specifically brought the stuff here to show him. So, there was no worry that the boy would not show it to him.

Chu Fan rolled an eye at Qin Feng before opening up his pocket dimension and pulling out a gun.

The gun literally looked like a toy—like a water gun.

There was a bottle-like cartridge loaded up in the gun—inside the cartridge was some kind of blue-colored liquid.

“Technology can change a society. President Qin, you will not find any weapon better than this gun in this realm.”

Qin Feng stared at the blue liquid for a moment. Then, a thought hit him.

It was the blood coagulant!

He did not think Chu Fan was able to invent this thing so quickly!
