385: The solution is actually quite simple...

Heavenly Demon City, Chen Residence.

Chen Heng frowned, looking at the several people lying motionless on the bed, a feeling of irritation rising in his heart.

"My mistake..."

Chen Heng truly hadn't expected these few people to be so fragile; they had only stayed outside the membrane for a short while before ending up like this.

"What should I do?"

Chen Heng tried many methods, but Bai Jun and the others still showed no signs of improvement.

Just then, Hu Ling tiptoed in and placed a bowl of fragrant meat soup on the table beside Chen Heng.

"Master, please eat something first. Although Mr. Bai and Mr. Luo haven't woken up, their condition hasn't worsened, at least."

Hu Ling knew Chen Heng was in a very bad mood right now, but all she could do was comfort him.

Not to mention her, a Yao Saint, even His Majesty the Demon Emperor had no solution for this strange illness of comatose syndrome.

"With so many refugees in the city, is there enough food?"

Chen Heng glanced at the rich, oily meat soup and looked up at Hu Ling.

"For now, it's enough, but once the city's population exceeds a million, then..."

Hu Ling bit her lower lip. She didn't want her incompetent side to be exposed in front of Chen Heng.

"I understand." Chen Heng nodded and opened his dragon skin pouch.

"This piece of Dragon meat is enough to sustain a million refugees. Just boil it into soup and feed them a piece every three days."

Chen Heng took out a fist-sized piece of Dragon meat and placed it on the table.

"But, isn't it a bit wasteful to use such a treasure on those lesser Yao?"

Hu Ling hesitated. How could those lesser Yao enjoy Dragon meat?

The value of all the lesser Yao in this entire Heavenly Demon City didn't even match the value of this single piece of Dragon meat.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of this kind of thing."

Chen Heng waved his hand. He had only eaten a little over half of that entire Dragon, so taking out just a bit would solve Heavenly Demon City's current troubles.

Moreover, he wasn't in the mood to waste time on these minor matters in Heavenly Demon City; he needed to quickly find a way to awaken Bai Jun and the others.

Hu Ling nodded and put away the small piece of Dragon meat.

She also knew Chen Heng was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother him further and wisely left.

"Sister Hu, is that our Master?"

Spirit Fox Qian'er curiously peeked her head out from the side, blinking her eyes at Hu Ling.

"Don't make a sound, Master is in a very bad mood right now."

Hu Ling gently tapped Qian'er's forehead. The Little Girl covered her head and stuck out her tongue.

"I'm just curious, after all, he's the one I'll be serving in the future."

"Alright, go and process this piece of Dragon meat first. Let Master have some peace and quiet."

Hu Ling didn't argue further with Qian'er; she still had many things to deal with.

In the bedroom, Chen Heng frowned as he looked at the several people on the bed.

"Or... should I try it?" Chen Heng hesitated. He now only had three Optimization chances left, which he had refreshed in the past two days.

He had never encountered such a problem before, so he could only try a desperate measure.

He clicked the optimization button on Bai Jun's forehead, and Bai Jun's body glowed with a burst of light.

"Optimization Count - 1"

"Optimization Successful, Bai Jun (Peerless Genius) → (Innate Dao Body)"

"Repairing Soul..."

"It actually works." Chen Heng scratched his face. The matter that had been bothering him for so long was actually solved so simply and directly.

"It really can optimize anything."

This suited his preferences perfectly.

As for the time required to repair the Soul, Chen Heng wasn't worried.

He was idle anyway, so letting Bai Jun repair himself here was fine.

He glanced at Wu Ming and Wu Yue, whose optimization buttons were grayed out above their heads, and then clicked the optimization button above Luo Shuo's head.

That was right. If this Optimization was counted, these two little ones had already been Optimized three times, so his current Optimization count was naturally not enough.

But there was no rush; he only needed six days, or to go and crush an Anomaly somewhere.

"Optimization Successful, Luo Shuo (Mixed-Blood Yao Saint) → (Yao God Body)"

"..." Chen Heng looked at the two after Optimization, a little silent.

He seemed to have created two monsters... Bai Jun and Luo Shuo, one an Innate Dao Body and the other a Yao God Body, who knew how fast their progress would be in the future?

But then again, Bai Jun and Luo Shuo were already Geniuses among Geniuses, so such a result after Optimization was normal.

"Alright, you two slowly repair your Souls here."

"I'm going out for a bit."

Chen Heng's primary purpose for coming to Heavenly Demon City this time was to find Qian Fa.

The big blue brain's reaction when Chen Heng mentioned the world-suppressing nail earlier confirmed something for Chen Heng.

Qian Fa definitely knew more about the world-suppressing nail and the vanished civilizations of the outside world than he did.

After arranging for maids to look after Bai Jun and the others, Chen Heng walked towards Qianfa Tower.

Along the way, Chen Heng saw refugees of various races filling the streets and alleys, but their expressions weren't too bad; survival wasn't an issue.

Moreover, under Hu Ling's governance, they appeared orderly, showing no signs of chaos.

"This little fox is quite capable."

Chen Heng smiled faintly, weaving through the crowd.

Not long after, Chen Heng appeared in front of Qianfa Tower.

The several bronze-plated Qian Fa warriors at the entrance, who had changed their appearance to that of the Yao Race, suddenly found a person in front of them and almost jumped in fright.

"Who goes there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Heng had already thrust his token into his face.

"Your subordinate greets Milord!"

Although the bronze-plated Qian Fa warrior didn't recognize Chen Heng, he recognized the token.

Besides the Tower Lord, only one mysterious powerful individual possessed this token, so the identity of the person before him was obvious.

"Open the door. I have something to discuss with your Tower Lord."

The bronze-plated Qian Fa warrior obediently opened the main door of Qianfa Tower.

As soon as Chen Heng stepped into Qianfa Tower, he felt the space around him twist.

But the current Chen Heng was different from before; he grabbed a part of the twisted space and directly tore it apart.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"

Qian Fa's somewhat puzzled voice came from his token.

"Nothing, I just wanted to try." Chen Heng shook his head. He found that his ability to see the nodes in the human body could also be used here.

Coupled with the Eye of Origin, Chen Heng could completely use physical means to break through these strange methods.

"Please." Qian Fa sighed helplessly, placing the entrance before Chen Heng.

Chen Heng said nothing more and directly stepped inside.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with the world-suppressing nail?"

Upon opening his eyes again, Chen Heng had already appeared in the cave where Qian Fa's main body resided.

Casually finding a stone to sit on, Chen Heng looked at the big blue brain in front of him and asked.

"Mr. Chen, before that, I must apologize to you."

Qian Fa's voice rang out.

"Actually, I deceived you about some things, but they caused you no harm."

Chen Heng wasn't surprised. It would have been strange if Qian Fa had told him the truth back then.
