Above Destiny

Chapter 300 Good morning

"Probe."

"Isis, read the data."

"Alright, keep the spiritual essence stable, and gradually increase the furnace temperature until it reaches the limit and then returns to normal. Increase it six times and decrease it four times. Record this process, and then we can start production."

Ji Jue took a step back and closed the furnace door. A voice responded from the void: "Six in and four out has been entered. Sir, the potion is ready. According to your habit, it is very bitter and no sugar is added."

The flowing mercury opened up from both sides, and a cup of medicine just completed from the reactor slowly rose up. A large amount of precious materials were extracted and squeezed in a rough manner, and finally made into a "life extension potion" that the master of life science would not even look at.

The potion that was enough to prolong life for forty years was reduced by Ji Jue to less than twenty.

The missing twenty years or so were used to take kickbacks with poor knowledge of pharmacy and life sciences, and after being taken to Hope Hospital, both the medicine and the people would be thrown into the recycling machine and decomposed into raw materials.

More importantly, bitter.

It’s so fucking hard!
Just by smelling it, Ji Jue put on a mask of pain.

"When did I say it had to be very bitter without sugar?!"

"Based on the analysis of your past records, many of your actions and decisions can be identified as 'asking for trouble.'" Isis said slowly, "I respect and understand human preferences, and I support them. I will add ten parts of bitter essence to refresh your mind."

"..."

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, then nodded solemnly: "Thank you so much!"

"The interjection particle 'te ma' has been recorded and the personalization has been completed." Isis replied, "We are all brothers, don't be so polite."

"…I didn't teach you that word, did I?"

"Teach yourself."

Ji Jue rolled his eyes, pointed his finger, and after the physical interference roughly paralyzed his tongue and taste buds, he drank it down in one gulp, and then his mask of pain became even more hideous.

After the numbness wore off, the bitter taste lingered, a nightmare. The wrinkles on his hands and face faded slightly, but they were still clear, as if they were engraved into his bones.

By now, Ji Jue is already a 171-year-old "old man".

It is obvious that under the accelerated time, most of the three or four weeks were spent on a large amount of repetitive work. Long live time acceleration!
It’s a pity that he died too quickly.

Ji Jue sighed, threw away the bottle, and didn't feel sorry for what was left.

After drinking too much, the basic life-extending potion was no longer effective, or in other words, his current poor level could only do this much. Life science and pharmacy were too extensive and profound, and were completely different from the spiritual and physical sciences he planned to focus on.

"Hurry up, Isis."

He walked out of the workshop and looked up at the sky: "After so much preparation, there should be results."

At this moment, what appeared above the sky was a jaw-dropping silver rainbow. Endless vaporized mercury rose from the end of the sea, and like a magnificent river, it rushed across the sky, branching or converging, and in the end, it enveloped the sky and turned into a giant net that covered the entire world.

“It looks really good.”

Ji Jue put his hands on his hips and exclaimed: "I'm so awesome."

"With all due respect, sir."

Isis's 'friendly' reminder came at the perfect time: "I was the one who did most of the preparations. Apart from your convulsive flashes and long periods of daze, you only moved your lips.

Is it a bit too self-conscious to express such shameless sentiments now? "

"Isn't what's yours mine?"

Ji Jue grinned, "Don't be so distant!"

"hehe."

Isis smiled in agreement, and the voice disappeared.

Instead, a fierce light suddenly burst out from the void, flashing dozens of times before disappearing. As its mission was completed, the mercury vapor in the sky suddenly spread in all directions, sprinkled down, and turned into rain.

Finally, in front of Ji Jue, in the water mirror projection, a complex and dense three-dimensional network gradually emerged. Among them, many places where red lines intersected were highlighted.

It was an image that could be called a CT scan.

The 'patient' being filmed is the Underworld Worm that is now fixed in a state, looping eternally in this world.

I'm afraid that no one has ever done such a detailed physical examination for themselves since birth?

If He knew this while He was sleeping, He might have shed a few tears of emotion.

"It is roughly consistent with the calculation results. The structure has four layers inside and outside, and some areas have six or seven layers. In addition to the evil spiritual essence circulation, the substances in the entire detection range have undergone varying degrees of physical property changes and distortion activation.

The evil clouds in the sky, the ocean currents and storms in the sea, and even the shallow lava flows under the earth's crust, all showed changes in spiritual essence that matched the target worms. "

Isis reported the survey results coldly: "At present, it seems that your CT scan is successful. Unfortunately, it is meaningless. Limited by the scope of detection and shooting, what you can see is only a tiny part of the whole."

"Well, the clarity is not bad, it's good."

Ji Jue held the projection and sighed: "Since this is successful, the remaining 1,700 areas of different surveying and shooting will be handed over to you."

Isis was silent. Only in the water mirror projection in front of Ji Jue, three question marks made of mercury slowly rose up, enlarged, and emitted a dazzling light.

"Sir, I have always doubted your race." Isis said curiously, "As far as I know, a human mouth cannot make such a loud dog bark."

"Come on, Isis!"

Ji Jue didn't take it seriously, but waved his fist: "I will try to complete this task in my lifetime. This is the last wish of the dying master."

Isis said nothing.

Instead, Ji Jue felt a chill on his back and turned back subconsciously. He saw the condensed blade in the falling rain of mercury, flashing brightly and aiming at his heart.

Suddenly shocked: "What are you doing?"

"No, sir, I feel like I've been evil."

Isis's dull stick read: "It's showing signs of losing control and wanting to attack the user!"

"Don't worry, this is not out of control, you just simply want to kill me."

Ji Jue comforted him, "This fully proves that you are capable enough to complete the work I assigned to you. Just over 1,700 CT scans is no problem at all!"

"Tsk..."

Isis didn't want to talk anymore. Since she was born, the first thing she learned about human emotions, besides swearing, was tiredness.

And then the second thing is, literally, exhaustion.

Just two years later, when more than 1,700 CT scans were placed in front of Ji Jue, the mercury-sharp blade aimed at the base of Ji Jue's neck had turned blood red.

Over the past two years, they have operated a large number of equipment and repeatedly ventured into the contaminated area. Until now, the outer shell of the activated mercury has been corroded and turned into a mixture of scarlet and black colors, but the twinkling starlight in the core is still as pure as before, without any wavering.

After 'gently' waking up his user with two big slaps in the face, he placed the results in front of him.

Seventeen hundred CT projections were pieced together to form a giant monster that enveloped the entire hall.

Countless and complex flows of spiritual energy, the confluence of vast ocean currents and meteorological movements, and even countless distorted substances.

The sky, the sea, the earth, the air.

When all the subtle changes intertwine and overlap, they outline the behemoth that is parasitic on the present situation and giving birth to itself again.

That big net that covers everything.

This is the essence of the so-called Underworld Sea.

The worm itself.

Compared with that behemoth, Ji Jue is not even a drop in the ocean.

He pushed the wheelchair, dying, wandering between the three-dimensional projections, his fingers stroking along the veins in the void.

Before I knew it, I was already fascinated.

"It's so beautiful."

"Excuse me, your aesthetic level is simply tragic compared to your outstanding talent and ability to freak out."

Isis reminded coldly: "I originally thought that drooling over such dead logistics as machinery was your limit. Now it seems that I really underestimated your degree of perversion."

"How perverted!"

Ji Jue stared, and as Isis expected, he began to mutter something like "Big monsters are so beautiful" and "You don't understand the beauty of special effects".

Humans are so weird.

"By the way, why don't you call me master anymore?" Ji Jue keenly noticed the blind spot: "Except at the beginning, you never called me master again afterwards!"

Isis was silent for a long time, "If you insist."

"You agree?"

"I will consider."

"..." Ji Jue pinched his chin, gradually becoming suspicious, "Just now, did you slap me twice?!"

"illusion."

Isis answered flatly: "I am the tool and assistant you created. How could I attack my own user? It seems that you have symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Do you want to start the care procedure?"

"Why don't you wait until the slap marks on my face disappear before you say such things!"

"This is just in accordance with your arousal settings. I chose the most gentle method among the options of blood loss, dismemberment, electrotherapy and injection stimulation."

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

Isis's starlight flickered, and her huge body bowed slightly, as if she was kneeling and bowing: "This is what I should do."

Ji Jue waved his hand.

The regression procedure starts.

Right in front of Ji Jue, the huge body gradually became silent, the mercury flowed and dissipated, the shell fell off, and only in the huge container in the core, wisps of starlight rose up and fell into Ji Jue's hands.

Transformed into a spiritual crystal.

"See you tomorrow."

Ji Jue held the crystal tightly, integrating it into his own spiritual essence, using his soul as a container to maintain it inside.

Fortunately, he had experience in using deus ex machina to contain spiritual intelligence through souls, otherwise he would probably have no idea where to start.

If so, press the rewind key.

In an instant, time reversed and returned to its original state.

Arriving at the beginning.

Just like that, the rules are circumvented and smuggling is accomplished.

Ji Jue skillfully opened the exchange list, exchanged mercury, spiritual essence and containers, reconstructed the carrier, and finally, tore apart the soul, took out the crystals and filled them in.

Infuse ectoplasm and activate awakening.

Then, inside the huge container, the crystals disintegrated and turned into countless stars that gradually lit up.

It was like opening my eyes again after a long sleep.

Ji Jue smiled: "Good morning, Isis."

"Tsk..."

Intelligence is not fast.

"Well, nice to meet you too."

Ji Jue nodded, waved his hand and said: "The work is about to begin. Let's start with the reconstruction of the workshop. It will be faster. There is still a lot of work to be done later."

For a moment, Isis seemed to say something, but Ji Jue didn't hear clearly and turned back blankly.

Then, I saw smiling faces emerging among the starlight.

"Okay," she said.
