The Law of Heaven

Chapter 91 Can you take a look at my legs?

Amidst the torrential rain, the ancient golden dragon weaved through the misty rain, its bulging back resembling rugged reefs, its bronze scales rubbing and opening like music.

The ancient dragon swooped down, its eerie and imposing body sweeping across skyscrapers like a graceful dance.

The glass curtain wall in the darkness reflected crimson vertical pupils, like an ancient demon gazing down upon the world!
The dragon's roar was like a thunderclap, echoing through the silence.

A silent scream seemed to echo from the darkness, as if a vengeful spirit had been swallowed by the dragon's roar, dying with its eyes wide open in disbelief.

Aihara looked up and could vaguely see wisps of blood rising from the torrential rain, like mist.

"What is He doing?"

He trembled slightly. What a magnificent scene this was, as if a myth had descended to earth, and all living beings were but ants.

"He is devouring the dead in this city, including those corrupted immortals. My brother's ability is the same as mine; he locks onto his targets through perception, crushes them into dust with his mental field, and absorbs their spiritual essence."

Ruan Qi covered his eyes, the intense molten gold flashing in his pupils: "My brother has lost his source of blood and food, and can no longer evolve. To vent his anger, he can only devour the dead in this city to improve his rank, even if the price is the possibility of going berserk. This proves that his rationality is increasingly collapsing."

My brother has gone mad. He not only devours the Dead Apostles, but he also doesn't spare those who have been corrupted. This will cause his spiritual energy to become drastically unbalanced, and he will fall into a state of frenzy.

I wonder if this means that Deep Blue Alliance has pushed him to the brink, and he's preparing for a decisive battle?

Aihara vaguely understood and said thoughtfully, "It's like strengthening a character in an online game. Raising the level of life strengthens the race, similar to how a human evolves into a fairy, and their innate abilities change. But absorbing spiritual matter strengthens the level, which strengthens the attribute values."

Ruan Qi, who had also played online games, said in a low voice, "Pretty much, but brother doesn't have the Divine Incense."

"You and your siblings can leverage the power of the Mirage Dragon..."

Aihara suddenly realized something fatal. Back in the Mirage Tower, he had suggested that the girl plunder the ancient relics of the Dead Apostles and absorb their spiritual energy.

In retrospect, it seems that Xiao Qi may have misunderstood back then; she didn't go to rob people, but instead went to eat them!
No wonder, everything makes sense now. It turns out that the beast that Deep Blue Alliance was talking about was himself!

Fortunately, Xiao Qi possessed the Divine Incense, which helped stabilize her rationality. She controlled herself well and did not go berserk even after consuming the ancient relics of the Dead Apostles.

Damn it.

The incense that supposedly helps one achieve spiritual enlightenment really does have this effect.

Pigs can really climb trees!
Aihara's pupils trembled slightly; he realized that he had unintentionally given such a crazy suggestion.

What's the difference between this and a cunning strategist?!
This indirectly confirms the abilities of the Mirage. Xia Ji's divination is not random; no matter how outrageous the process, the result is always correct and there is no deviation.

This is... the power to control your destiny!

The ancient dragon roared, its alluring figure flashing in the darkness. It devoured the blood energy rising from the torrential rain, perched atop the city's highest point, its blood-red vertical pupils gleaming.

At that very moment, it was as if a supernova had exploded in the night, and a huge cross-shaped starlight pierced the darkness, swallowing the ancient dragon that was entrenched in the sky!
That's an extinction-level energy pulse!
DeepBlue has joined forces!
Helicopters were suspended in the torrential rain. Pulse emission devices from the Technology Research and Development Bureau were deployed on an office building, and the equipment, which resembled a nuclear reactor, was emitting thick smoke and was almost overloaded and self-destructing.

The roar of an angry dragon echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The dragon's roar was mixed with faint laughter.

It was a man's hoarse, manic laugh.

Accompanied by the man's maniacal laughter, the depths of the misty mountains trembled once more, and one after another, jet-black dragon horns burst forth from the ground, stirring up dust and smoke that reached straight to the sky.

The opposite side is trembling.

It was as if a sleeping demon had awakened.

It bared its ferocious fangs at the world.

Aihara gasped.

Clearly, this is going to be a major disaster!
"My brother isn't feeling well, I have to go."

Ruan Qi recovered from his severe headache, his eyes flashing with metallic light, and said in a low voice, "Go back and tell the boss that my token is no longer responding, which means that my fate has reached a critical crossroads."

If I can overcome my destiny, and the keepsake shows a new reaction and changes, I will go back to him.

Thank you for taking care of me during this time.

"Wait……"

Just as Aihara was about to say something, the little girl turned and left, disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.

A dragon's roar echoed once more in the silence.

In the darkness, Ruan Qi soared into the sky, soaring over the sleeping neighborhood and flying towards the distant overpass.

disappeared without a trace.

The rain poured down, and the earthy smell filled the air.

"Hey, at least say goodbye in person, right?"

Aihara murmured.

Xiao Qi said the keepsake wasn't responding, and it seemed that the chances of changing her fate weren't unlimited.

My second uncle once said that if a person's path is nearing its end, then there's really nothing left to say.

Unless things take an unexpected turn, fate will not change.

For example, a student who has just graduated from high school and is preparing to apply for university. At this time, his fate is infinitely changeable, and every path means a possibility.

But for an old man who is frail and about to die in bed, his life is already over, and nothing can change that.

Unless he can regain his youth.

Xiao Qi faces a similar situation. Because of her tragic experiences after birth, the changes in her fate are also restricted, and she has no choice.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Aihara fell into deep thought.

Xiao Qi's silhouette seemed to linger in his sight.

Such determination.

It seems like they've made up their minds.

After an unknown amount of time, the isolation chamber in the laboratory was lowered. Jiang Youqing had already purified the serum and put the packaged gold solution into a box.

She took off her lab coat and protective shield, tossed her long hair, and asked softly, "Is she gone?"

Aihara hummed in agreement.

Jiang Youqing gazed at the twinkling starlight outside the window. With her intelligence, she naturally guessed what was going on and asked softly, "Your friend's identity... it wouldn't be..."

Aihara didn't know how to explain, and after hesitating for a second, he said, "She's a kind person."

This is a bit abstract, and those whose heads she twisted off certainly wouldn't agree.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone about her, not even if the teacher asks."

Jiang Youqing handed him the packaged serum and said softly, "I'll keep the rest of the serum for research."

Aihara nodded: "Be careful. If you need anything, feel free to contact me and I'll help you."

Jiang Youqing hummed in agreement. Her phone vibrated slightly, but she didn't intend to answer. "I'm going to see a senior colleague. I'll contact you later. Be careful lately; there are hunters everywhere. If they discover you, I'm worried you might..."

"Don't worry." Aihara waved his hand. "See you later."

Jiang Youqing pursed her lips and nodded. After sorting out her gains, she turned around and entered the elevator.

The lights illuminated her tall, slender back.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved.

"See you."

Aihara waved and watched the elevator doors close.

Darkness enveloped Aihara once again. When he was alone, he could finally shed his disguise and become that taciturn, withdrawn boy, gloomy and depressed.

He held his second uncle's diary in his arms, leaned wearily against the sofa, and stared blankly at the empty laboratory.

He has many worries on his mind.

There are also many things I want to say but keep to myself.

But he didn't know who he could talk to.

Ding.

The old cell phone rang.

Jiang Youqing's text message.

“You seem to be in a bad mood. If you’re ever willing to see me in your real body, I know a really good barbecue restaurant on Shanghang Road.”

Aihara was slightly taken aback. The faint glow of the phone illuminated his eyes. This was the first time in eighteen years that someone had seen through his true feelings, and he was a little at a loss.

Jiang Youqing is quite perceptive.

It's not as cold as it seems on the surface.

She's quite gentle.

After a moment of silence, he replied, "I'm really not in a good mood. Could you take a look at my leg?"

Ding.

Jiang Youqing replied to the text message.

In short, don't overwork yourself.

Aihara was silent for a moment, then smiled silently.

"Thank you."

The mirage is frozen at 10:30.

Aihara's evil spirit clone returned to the courtyard, dissipating into a cloud of black smoke once more. His clothes and spirit were scattered all over the ground, including the yellowed diary left by his second uncle, as well as the sealed serum.

This time, we had a very fruitful experience.

"call."

Aihara opened his eyes on the bamboo chair and, as usual, went to vomit in the grass. Once he was a little clearer-headed, he retrieved his clothes and body, picked up his second uncle's diary, wiped it clean, and carefully put it back in the counter.

He carefully stored the precious serum in a drawer to prevent any accidents.

He stretched his muscles and bones, adapting his physical body to the increased strength after advancing to the next level. As spiritual energy flowed through his body, his physical attributes were greatly improved.

Even without using his abilities, Aihara could easily crush his past self with just his physical strength.

It's hard to estimate the exact numbers, but he's probably stronger than Captain America in superhero movies.

The most significant change originates from the Alaya consciousness.

His perception became increasingly clear, as if he were looking at the world through a specially made magnifying glass.

The fine lines on the palm are clearly visible.

The field of intent has become more precise, and its output has been greatly enhanced, especially after the integration of force field manipulation, which has brought about a complete transformation.

The output of the mind field has changed in mechanism, and the most obvious change is the increase in value.

His manipulation of force became more flexible.

Whether it's traction, repulsion, buoyancy, or gravity, it can all be easily controlled.

"The pre- and post-animation are shortened, the output power is greatly increased, and it flies faster and more nimbly."

Aihara clenched his fist, his bones cracking: "Next, we'll try the second layer of delusion, and see what happens next in that hidden history..."

But now is not the time.

His phone was full of missed calls.

Some calls came from Jian Mo, and some from Yu Ge.

He did not reply and planned to go directly to the Central Hospital.

Let's go check on Xiaosi first.

At that very moment, the phone in Mirage Tower rang again, its sharp ring echoing in the silence.

"That person from Sichuan or Chongqing?"

Aihara hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"Hello."

An old man's voice came through the phone, deep and resonant, like a drop of water falling into an ancient well: "Excuse me... is this the legendary Mirage Tower?"

Aihara frowned and replied, "Yes."

The old man smiled with immense relief: "After going through countless hardships, I have finally found this place. Perhaps someone had arranged for you to have your fortune told, but he will not be coming. I killed him with my own hands and took his keepsake."

Aihara's pupils suddenly contracted, but he asked calmly, "Is that so? When do you plan to come to the shop?"

The old man respectfully said, "I am at the intersection of Furun Road overpass now, and I will be there soon."

The phone hangs up.

Aihara paused slightly, "Furun Road overpass?"

That place is more than 20 kilometers away from Zhongfu Street.

Aihara fell into deep thought. It seemed that there wasn't just one entrance to the Mirage Tower. Perhaps the way to enter would vary depending on the tokens held by the guests.

"What a hassle. Anyway, it won't take long to entertain the guests. I'll go see Xiaosi later."

Aihara tidied up the messy shop, preparing to welcome Xiaoqi's second customer.

dong dong.

Someone knocked on the gate of the Mirage Tower.
