I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming estimated that it would take him about ten seconds to recover his MP from zero to full in Thunder Spirit form.

Compared to the previous time when it would take one or two minutes, this is a leap forward. Being able to recover to peak condition in just over ten seconds is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, if she depletes her MP bar in an instant, using 30% as a safety net, she will be in a weakened or even completely vulnerable state for a few seconds. This time difference can be fatal.

Besides, who can guarantee that elementalization won't be forcibly terminated once the energy bar is completely depleted?

Yan Ziming had wanted to discuss this with Liu Mengxian for a long time, but unfortunately Liu Mengxian disappeared after the Civilization Cup, so the matter was put aside.

"Xian'er, I have a few questions I've always wanted to ask you."

Yan Ziming recounted in detail the situation he experienced during the Civilization Cup, including the forced removal of his elementalization and the excruciating pain caused by the excessive number of times he had participated.

She hoped that Liu Mengxian, who had been through similar experiences, could provide an acceptable answer.

"The conditions for mandatory lifting still exist; you need to manage this carefully yourself," Liu Mengxian instructed.

As expected, this condition still exists. After all, Yan Ziming now needs to use nearly 40% of his energy to activate elemental transformation, and it is impossible to activate it again after it has been forcibly deactivated.

"What about the one behind it? Why am I experiencing such severe pain?"

Liu Mengxian didn't speak, but instead raised her jade-like hand and placed it on her left breast, pressing it down firmly against her heart to feel her physical condition.

At this moment, Yan Ziming was no longer immersed in this ambiguous atmosphere. Instead, he stared intently at Liu Mengxian, anxiously awaiting her answer.

After a short while, Liu Mengxian gave the result: "Your body has been remodeled, and there will be no more severe pain."

Liu Mengxian patiently explained the answers to Yan Ziming, who was overjoyed.

Specifically, it means

—A few months ago, Yan Zimo was not yet able to achieve complete elementalization, which is why that 'abnormal physiological system' situation occurred.

But now things are different. The moment she activates her elemental transformation, her entire body will transform into the same form at the same time, with its own 'physiological operating system', so that situation will no longer occur.

Another point worth mentioning is...

If Yan Zimo's physical body is the primary form, then his elementalization is the secondary form.

However, the situation is now reversed. Elementalization is her primary form, while her physical body has become her secondary form, and the positions of the two have fundamentally changed.

In other words, from the moment her body was reshaped, she could no longer be considered human, but rather a true and pure collection of lightning elements born between heaven and earth—a lightning spirit.

"So... I'm not human anymore?!"

Yan Ziming asked with a dark expression.

"Yes, you're no longer human."

Liu Mengxian delivered the final blow to Yan Ziming, and then said:

"It's best to keep the time spent in elemental transformation shorter in the future, otherwise you'll have to live like this forever."

Yan Ziming felt a chill in his heart. Did this mean that he would never be able to return to human form?

If that's the case, then wouldn't she be living under a stormy sky wherever she goes, becoming a monster in other people's eyes?

And most importantly, how can she be intimate with the person she likes like this!

For Lei Ling, this represents an evolution, an evolution into a higher level of life form. She has now completely transcended the constraints of humanity, and how long she can live is unknown.

From an evolutionary perspective, it is laughable and backward to still retain the human body.

However, Yan Ziming did not want this kind of evolution.

"So, what's a good timeframe? Is my schedule too long today?" Yan Ziming asked anxiously.

"It's alright for now... I'll take some precautions with you when we get back."

Liu Mengxian frowned slightly. She had noticed that Yan Ziming's body was beginning to show these changes, and she knew she had to take some precautions.

Unlike Yan Zimo, although both of them were born with 100% elemental affinity, she was born normally and did not have Yan Zimo's situation.

It's really laughable.

Throughout history, countless people have frantically pursued the ultimate evolution of life's essence in order to become truly transcendent beings, yet this has fallen upon Yan Zimo, who then utterly despises her. This is truly unbelievable.

Chapter Twelve Process

A night of silence.

A light appeared on the distant horizon, dawn was breaking, and every household opened their doors, numbly welcoming the new day.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the clouds, nothing is known.

Here lies an ethereal beauty, a poetic haze, a white mist like a veil, drifting between heaven and earth.

Yan Ziming lay naked, her breasts pressed against the clouds, forming an alluringly deep valley. Her exquisite waist, fair legs, and captivating body curves, along with the veil of mist, perfectly accentuated her figure, exuding a unique charm of elegance and nobility.

As the clouds parted, you could see two delicate, pale fingers moving across her smooth back, as fluid and natural as an elf's dance.

Where the fingertips traced, they left behind bright blue-purple stripes that intersected and blended together, outlining intricate patterns.

Furthermore, these patterns are in motion.

Occasionally, a few patterns will appear, like thin cicada wings, floating and drifting on the skin, adding a touch of dreaminess.

Some of them, after being etched by fingertips, dissolve into the flesh.

"Mo'er, don't move around."

Her nimble fingertips stopped at her waist, and Liu Mengxian's eyes held a sense of helplessness.

Whenever her fingertips brushed against certain areas, the beautiful woman beneath her would tremble slightly, making it difficult for her to continue her preparations.

"But... ah... it's so itchy... ah..."

A few soft, breathy moans escaped from Yan Ziming's cherry lips.

Even the most self-righteous saint would find it difficult to remain calm and composed upon hearing such a voice.

"That's why I said Mo'er, your willpower is insufficient."

"Nonsense...! This is clearly just... a bodily instinct!"

Liu Mengxian gently shook her head at Yan Ziming's sophistry and continued with the arrangement on her back.

She spent the entire night helping Yan Ziming with one thing.

—Preventing the transformation of life forms.

Yan Ziming did not want to become a Thunder Spirit completely and lose her identity as a "human".

However, once she activates elemental transformation, this process will begin automatically and irreversibly, slowly 'eroding' her body until all impurities are removed, leaving only the most primal essence.

The impurities naturally refer to her physical body in human form.

Liu Mengxian is currently helping her retain her "human" identity.

Through her long-standing understanding of Lei Ling, she infiltrates and transforms him from a unique perspective, aiming to stop or even reverse his behavior.

However, progress has been very slow; it seems that not only has it been difficult to turn things around, but it has also been impossible to stop them altogether.

All she could do was slow it down, allowing Yan Ziming's evolutionary process to progress a little further.

This result made Liu Mengxian frown slightly. If she were still Lei Ling, it wouldn't be difficult to turn things around. But now she could only stop at the hurdle of slowing down the situation, which was really frustrating.

Before long, Yan Ziming's back was covered with these mysterious and beautiful patterns.

"Get up," Liu Mengxian called softly.

Yan Ziming's pretty face was already flushed. She slowly knelt up, her right hand on her left shoulder, covering her breasts.

She slightly raised her shoulders, gently turned her head, and let a few strands of her long, soft hair fall onto her delicate shoulders. Her beautiful, gentle eyes observed her body, revealing a hint of languidness.

The shoulders, neck, arms, and entire back resemble tattoos with an unusual beauty, exuding a captivating charm while also revealing a unique elegance and nobility.

This is a kind of beauty that is hard to describe in words.

A few ripples appeared in Liu Mengxian's deep eyes, and her movements paused slightly.

Then, she reached out again, her fingertips brushing against her neck, tracing down her graceful spine in one stroke.

"All right."

After completing the final stroke, Liu Mengxian's voice arrived as scheduled.

Then, as if it were being recharged, the patterns on Yan Ziming's back lit up one by one in the order they were drawn, like living veins, illuminating her body from front to back, making her look as crystalline as a work of art.

"Well........"

It was extremely cold.

Yan Ziming felt as if she was being restrained and shifted uncomfortably.

"Is that... done?"

"Not yet, turn it around, front side too."

"Huh?" Yan Ziming's gaze froze for a moment.

Front, front, front too—?!

The back was already her limit. Not to mention how shy she was to face Xian'er directly, what made her most upset was that the sensitivity of the front was far greater than that of the back!

The thought that he might let out such shameful moans under Liu Mengxian's actions made Yan Ziming think it would be better to let her die!
