158: Chapter 16 Time Waits for No One

"Alright then,"

Lu Chen thought to himself.

"If that's the case,

then it doesn't matter whether I absorb the Origin Bloodline or not.

Anyway,

as long as I am given time,

I will reach their level sooner or later."

Thinking of time,

he habitually glanced at his status panel.

Name: Lu Chen

Strength: 3,841.56 Billion

Spirit: 3,841.56 Billion

Soul Skill: Max Level Comprehension

Lu Chen blinked in disbelief.

Wait.

Wasn't his attribute value around 1,536.624 billion before?

How did it suddenly increase by more than double?

You've got to be kidding me.

Before reaching A-rank,

there was an upper limit to his strength.

Every increase in strength would shorten the time remaining to Breakthrough to A-rank,

bringing him one step closer to death.

"No, this won't do, I must Breakthrough as soon as possible,"

Lu Chen thought fiercely.

There were only forty-some days left.

During this period,

he not only had to Breakthrough to the B-rank Peak,

but also comprehend Laws.

Who knew how long it would take to comprehend a single Law?

Moreover, he wanted to comprehend as many Laws as possible.

He then looked toward his Spiritual Vein space.

At this moment, the Spiritual Vein had expanded again.

Its diameter had reached nearly one meter.

Whereas just a few days ago,

it was only 2.8 decimeters.

By now, all the power within the Origin Bloodline had been completely consumed,

merging into his own body.

Lu Chen let out a breath.

His resolve grew even firmer.

There was no time left.

He had to Breakthrough as quickly as possible.

The air rippled slightly.

With a flash of his figure,

he disappeared from the room.

When he reappeared,

he was directly in front of the main hall of the Lu Family Manor.

At this time,

everyone in the family was gathered here.

Whether they were Awakened warriors or unawakened ordinary people, everyone was present,

waiting patiently.

Rows of unopened boxes sat on the smooth tabletop.

When Lu Chen walked in,

except for Luo Nianwei, his parents, uncles, and grandparents,

all other family members quickly stood up with respectful expressions.

He nodded.

He spoke.

"Everyone, sit cross-legged and consume the potion."

Everyone immediately followed his instructions.

Acting in synchronization.

For a moment,

the room was incredibly silent.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

Lu Chen's Mental Energy expanded,

covering all of them.

Ensuring that every one of them could concentrate their minds.

One after another, they broke the Seals,

opened the stoppers,

and drank the red liquid that emitted a strange luster.

The effect was immediate.

Accompanied by bursts of low rumbling,

one aura after another suddenly rose within the room.

The auras on their bodies began to surge wildly.

Even those who were unawakened were caught in the tide of skyrocketing power.

Their bodies twitched violently.

Traces of the medicinal liquid spread through their Meridians and blood vessels,

passing through biological membranes and entering every cell.

Strengthening genes,

and repairing flesh and blood tissues...

Even chronic ailments accumulated over many years were swept away.

The powerful Bloodline Power seeped into the smallest capillaries,

searching for hidden weak points.

When they were found,

the golden Bloodline Power of the Origin Human Race immediately surged forward.

The muscles on their bodies constantly contracted,

then began to expand.

Bones became harder and stronger.

Even their hearts beat more powerfully due to the injection of this brand-new power.

The room was filled with vigorous vitality.

Everyone began to look younger.

The wrinkles on their faces gradually disappeared.

Their skin became smooth and bright again, with a healthy rosy glow.

At this moment,

it was as if time were reversing.

Even the eldest among them

looked decades younger within these few seconds.

At the same time, the blood in their bodies began to emit a strange luster.

At first, these glimmers were very faint,

but then they gradually stabilized.

The blood in their bodies changed from its original dark red to a rich, bright pale gold.

The Bloodline transformation was successful.

This was the characteristic of the Origin Human Race Bloodline.

Gradually,

they opened their eyes one after another.

First, they looked down at their own hands,

turning them over and back again,

as if confirming whether this was real.

Then they began to look around at the others in the room.

Every person's face revealed the same expression: shock.

They had all become younger.

The normal lifespan of the Origin Human Race was several hundred years.

Now,

even the oldest among them would not even be considered middle-aged within the Origin Human Race.

Their bodies were brimming with energy,

and their spirits were completely renewed.

It seemed they could live for several centuries.

Especially for the warriors,

their potential lifespan could be extended by several thousand years.

Lu Chen then relaxed.

Everything seemed normal.

Everyone had completed the transformation safely.

He turned to Luo Nianwei.

She looked even more radiant than before.

Her skin was like a peeled egg,

her eyes and brows were more exquisite,

and her temperament was more ethereal.

Her whole being was glowing,

as if she had been reborn.

Not just Luo Nianwei,

every woman in the family had undergone a transformative change,

exuding infinite vitality and life force.

The same was true for the men.

Their bodies became taller,

their features more three-dimensional,

and their physiques were flawless.

Their faces were as if carved by a knife and chisel,

becoming even more handsome.

Lu Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

Everything had gone incredibly smoothly.

Finally, he glanced around the hall.

Seeing that they had all woken up,

their eyes were bright and spirited,

and the expressions on their faces were more vibrant than ever before.

Furthermore, he had already instructed his Great-Grandfather Lu Daohong

to personally lead them into the Virtual Universe.

He could now retire from the scene with his mission accomplished.

After saying goodbye to his parents and Nianwei,

Lu Chen's figure flashed,

and he arrived at the cultivation room of the Alliance Building.
