482: New trait: All Qi returns to its source!

Upon hearing the words 'exceptionally poor Martial Artist Aptitude,' Dr. Bai subconsciously raised an eyebrow:

"Practicing martial arts isn't the only path."

"I can create bio-armor; do you think I can't research gene serums to improve martial arts Aptitude?"

"It's just a matter of whether I want to or not."

As he spoke, he tilted his head back again:

"However, becoming a god isn't impossible either."

"I'm somewhat interested in taking Silicon-based life as my believers and letting them evolve according to my will."

"If the Silicon-based life can fully cooperate with my experiments, perhaps I can make them evolve extraordinary abilities, and it would also greatly shorten my experimental process."

Yang Dian nodded slightly:

"Then, if there's an opportunity, I'll visit the Strange Star's Physical Body again."

Thinking of the Silicon-based life on the Strange Star, Yang Dian also thought of the Strange Star itself.

'I wonder if Old Bai wants a Strange Star.'

'If he does, I'll catch him a small Strange Star to play with as a believer...'

Amidst his wild thoughts, a new light rose from underground and instantly flew to Yang Dian's front.

Dr. Bai then spoke:

"This is a special Seal ring; the psionic spaceship named [Brilliance] is Sealed inside the ring."

"The other psionic spaceship hasn't developed self-awareness yet; I'll give it to you after I've studied it."

As he spoke, he reached out and made a few virtual taps, then looked at Yang Dian and said:

"The primordial cell information database indeed contains a star map, which records the flight trajectory of the primordial cell."

"I have already sent you the star map."

"I found a few discordant points in it, the closest one to us being 3.57 light-years away."

"There seems to be a cosmic wormhole there, though I couldn't observe it with a space telescope, and I don't know if it's naturally formed."

"You can go take a look when you have time."

Yang Dian nodded slightly:

"Once I've completely finished enhancing my strength, I'll go take a look."

Dr. Bai's body stiffened for a moment:

"Aren't you about to Breakthrough?"

Yang Dian snapped his fingers:

"Just a minor Breakthrough."

"It will still take a considerable amount of time to fully digest the gains from the Strange Star, probably around three months."

"That's when the major Breakthrough will happen."

Dr. Bai was silent for a moment:

"So, what level can you achieve now?"

Yang Dian shook his head slightly:

"I don't know either."

"I just feel like it might be a bit exaggerated after the Breakthrough, and testing my strength on Earth might lead to bad things."

"That's why I came to Mars, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Yang Dian took a step, walking out of the protective shield of Base City No. 1.

He stretched his Physical Body somewhat casually.

The energy stored in the dwelling place of the Soul surged out, nourishing his Physical Body.

The Heaven and Man Unity Skill had reached 99.99% progress, taking another step forward.

"Dong ~"

After a dull heartbeat, Yang Dian suddenly found that the world had changed.

He stretched out his palm; the faint magnetic field energy on the Martian crust, the stellar light falling from the sky, all energies, hot or cold... At this moment, all the energy in the world seemed to be under his control.

"I seem to be able to do this..."

Amidst his murmur, Dr. Bai found that Yang Dian had disappeared.

No, he hadn't disappeared.

Instead, he had transformed into a black hole.

All light, once it entered Yang Dian's vicinity, would be completely swallowed by him.

"This..." As his pupils constricted, he saw the black hole suddenly vanish.

Nor had it disappeared.

Instead, the black hole had converged at Yang Dian's fingertip.

Subconsciously, Dr. Bai called up the surveillance satellites to scan the marble-sized 'black hole' at Yang Dian's fingertip, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Antimatter Annihilation Bomb?"

Hearing Dr. Bai's surprised voice, Yang Dian looked up, shook his head slightly, and then, in Dr. Bai's slightly bulging eyes, he threw the 'black hole' that Dr. Bai had taken for an 'Antimatter Annihilation Bomb' into his mouth.

"Ka ~ Ka ~ Ka ~"

As chewing sounds echoed in Yang Dian's mouth, Dr. Bai's pupils slightly expanded, and he also heard Yang Dian explain:

"It's not an Antimatter Annihilation Bomb."

"It's just a convergence of some energy."

"It's just that a lot of energy has converged, and no energy has leaked out, so it looks somewhat like an Antimatter Annihilation Bomb."

As he spoke, Yang Dian somewhat laboriously chewed up the 'black hole,' and after swallowing it, he let out a long breath:

"Although antimatter is also a form of energy, I am currently still unable to extract antimatter and dark matter out of thin air."

"Of course, it might also be that my understanding of martial arts is not yet sufficient."

"Perhaps with future Breakthroughs in martial arts philosophy, ordinary Martial Artists might also be able to use the power of their Physical Body to control antimatter and dark matter energy, who knows?"

Hearing Yang Dian's indifferent words, Dr. Bai was silent for a moment before speaking:

"How did you do that?"

"How did I do it?" Yang Dian muttered, then spread his hands towards the constant storms on Mars:

"As I said before, my strength is about to have a slight Breakthrough."

"And just now, I took the final step."

"Bearing the power of Heaven and Earth, transforming into the foundation of all Qi."

"All Qi Returns to Source."

As his voice fell, an endless storm began to rotate wildly around Yang Dian as its center.

Dust... sand and gravel... ten li... a hundred li... In a few blinks of an eye, a giant storm tornado, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, as if intending to destroy the world, rose with Yang Dian at its center.

The fifth characteristic of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill: All Qi Returns to Source.

Simply put, after achieving this characteristic, Yang Dian gained the ability to forcefully control all the Qi of Heaven and Earth, countless energies.

He could gather these energies to fight enemies, or he could gather the energies into a ball, swallow it, and turn it into nourishment for his own growth.

'It seems that even without Spiritual Qi, I can still increase my strength by devouring a large amount of Mutant energy?'

Time slowly passed as Yang Dian pondered.

As Yang Dian became increasingly familiar with the 'All Qi Returns to Source' characteristic and his control deepened, green Qi blades began to emerge within the red storm, which was emitting wailing sounds.

These Qi blades, merely grazing the earth, would leave behind dark, bottomless abysses, hundreds of meters long.

Immediately after the abysses appeared, they would be covered by sand and dust.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be left with only the wailing, world-destroying storm...
