this infinite world

"Yang Yun!"

With a roar, Zheng Zha woke up instantly from his deep sleep, but before he could take the next step, he felt like he was hit on the forehead by a whip, and he saw stars...

"Don't scream at me here!"

Suddenly, an angry yet familiar voice rang in Zheng Zha's ears: "Really, why are the people who come here so rude recently? Are they thinking they are dreaming... Wait, why are you here again?"

"What do you mean it's me again?"

Zheng Zha covered his head tightly with his hands, almost subconsciously retorting. He didn't know why. He had never heard this voice many times, and he had never even seen the true face of the owner of the voice, but there was an incredible sense of familiarity in the words, as natural and intimate as talking to an old friend. It was as if it was an echo from the past, or perhaps the future, that traveled through the long river of time and evoked a corner of his latent memory...

But this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Thanks to this attack, Zheng Zha was fully awake. Looking at the scenes around him where basic tiny factors gradually evolved and evolved into life, he realized where he was. "Wait, this is... a gene bank? Why am I here again?"

"I also want to ask you, although this place has no concept of time, but no matter how you look at it, you come here too often, right?"

There seemed to be a hint of surprise in that voice, as if Zheng Zha's situation was also a strange thing to this knowledgeable guy: "Strange, let me see your current strength... You are not even a high-level fourth-level one? Why are you here again? This shouldn't be the case?"

"Gene bank... oh yeah! I remember now!"

His slightly groggy mind regained consciousness at this moment, and his smart IQ regained its high ground. At this moment, Zheng Zha suddenly remembered what happened before his consciousness fell asleep, and the fact that he was sealed: "I remember your name is Herbal Slime, right?"

After re-entering the gene bank, the words that could not be said before and the forgotten and sealed memories also returned. Zheng Zha naturally remembered what the voice said to him when he left last time: "Hurry up and give me the new genes. I will break the seal set by the immortal and go out to fight again!"

"Hey, are you serious?"

There was a hint of teasing in the Herbal Slime's voice, as if it was quite interested in Zheng Zha's misfortune. It did not feel offended by Zheng Zha's impatient tone. On the contrary, there was a hint of teasing in its tone, as if it was reminiscing about an old friend who had suffered many misfortunes. There was a hint of sympathy, but it was hard to hide the gloating in it: "Why are you so miserable every time? Last time you were cut in half, and this time you were sealed up again."

"And in this situation, you actually want to fight with an immortal who can be compared with a saint? Do you really know how to write the word 'seeking death'? You should know that the gap between an immortal and a fourth-level immortal is incalculable. They can already transform the spiritual light that governs time, space, matter and energy into a virtual universe and emit it, leaving a temporary mark on the current time and space plane, thereby changing the plane rules within a certain range, such as the speed of time flow, space distance, etc...."

"So what? Yang Yun is still fighting, I have to go help him!"

When it comes to fighting, Zheng Zha's reaction is not slow at all. Combining the information revealed by the herbal slime and the fact that his last attack "Hao Hao Dang Dang Yao Qian Kun" successfully injured Fei Mian, he instantly realized that the other party might use time-related means: "This time I need time-related genes, preferably similar to the last time..."

“…This isn’t some kind of cafeteria.”

Even the Herbal Slime was speechless at Zheng Zha's matter-of-fact attitude: "And I remember that the last time I gave you the genes of the Ouroboros, the Ouroboros, that's the genes of a mythical creature, how can it be so easy to master? And you've come into contact with time genes at the fourth intermediate level, so they can only be genes of a mythical creature." "Mythical creature?" Zheng Zha seemed to have heard a new term, but it was one he hadn't heard last time: "What's the explanation?"

"Nothing special... Mythological creatures are roughly at the level of high-level saints. At this level, they can almost spread their influence within the multiverse with their own bloodline."

The Herbal Slime said casually, "Moreover, gene matching is a delicate subject. With your current strength, mastering a gene of a mythical creature is already the limit. Adding new genes may destroy the balance in your body... And I know you will definitely come here again, so I have already thought about your next gene matching path."

Speaking of the aspect he is best at, the Herbal Slime immediately perked up and said enthusiastically: "In my opinion, the most suitable gene for you is definitely the one related to the Demon Dragon Clan. Although it simply enhances the toughness and strength of the flesh, it can be perfectly matched with your body."

"This gene will shine brightest in you. It also has the property of increasing your physical fitness by a percentage. The stronger you are, the greater its effect will be. It will help you until the end. Even the Demon Dragon Clan cannot be compared with you..."

When Zheng Zha heard the herbal slime say the words "dragon gene", his heart was moved, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of identification.

Zheng Zha knew that this might be the so-called spiritual induction. The genes of the Demon Dragon Clan were a perfect match for him. If he really listened and integrated these genes into himself, then his future would be smooth, but...

"...No, I must have genes related to time." Zheng Zha said in a deep voice.

"why?"

The sudden words made the Herbal Slime pause. When it spoke again, even its cheerful tone faded a little: "Are you in such a hurry? I said, the combination I choose is definitely the most suitable for you."

"I understand, but Yang Yun is still waiting for me." Zheng Zha took a deep breath and responded, "I can't let him fight alone."

“Even if it means taking a lot of detours?” The Herbal Slime was puzzled: “You are such an idiot…”

"Maybe. After all, I have never been very smart."

Zheng Zha's voice was filled with determination, without a trace of confusion or hesitation: "If it's for my friends, I'm willing to be an idiot for the rest of my life."

——A long silence.

After a while, the Herbal Slime's words rang out again: "Since you are so persistent and require to be exposed to the time dimension at the fourth intermediate level, then the only gene that suits you best is that one..."
