Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"I don't know, just use your talents!"

Carrie was completely confused.

However, Carrie was still very excited to be able to study such an ecological chimera, and immediately began to conduct various examinations on Mark's beast-like body.

Watching Carrie and her team working busily, Jingnan approached Jingyuan and asked, "Do you really think Carrie can awaken Mark?"

"I don't know. We can only give it a try."

Jingyuan shook his head inwardly. He used to wonder if everything was a predetermined ending.

But as time went on, he realized that there was no such thing as a predetermined ending; it was just a matter of personality.

Even though Jingyuan knew how the plot was going to unfold, each person's personality determined everything they would experience.

The reason why hunters like Xuefeng, Kunjie, and Modong sacrificed themselves was because they were always at the forefront.

If they had just hidden themselves, they wouldn't have lost their lives.

If Mark were even a little bit selfish, he should have chosen to stay with Ran Bing and live a good life together.

But everyone made the right choice!

Mark made the right choice. On this path of fighting against the apocalypse, when all methods have been exhausted and there is no other way, even death is worth trying.

Although at the end of this road, there is probably only death.

But you should still give it a try.

Jing Yuan didn't know if the Soul Extinction Plan would succeed.

But he had to do it; compared to sitting and waiting to die, death from the failure of the Soul Extinction Plan was more acceptable.

Because I tried.

This is the essence of life's journey.

Bai Yuekui wasn't wrong either!

She has survived from the old world to the present day, and has been fighting against the ecosystem ever since.

Jingyuan believed that her goal was definitely to eliminate the Mana ecosystem.

But she was too stubborn.

She is so stubborn that she only believes in her own ideas, so stubborn that she doesn't treat people as human beings, and everyone is just a pawn on her chessboard.

Jingyuan agrees with the soul-destroying plan left by the ancient civilization because the plan puts forward specific ideas, specific implementation plans, and specific goals to be achieved.

Bai Yuekui's plan to conquer the filth only tells you to enter the vortex of filth.

What if I get inside?

I won't tell!

Bai Yuekui said that she wasn't speaking without reason, which means she had a plan, but she just wouldn't say it.

All the plans were in her head, unknown to others.

Everyone else is only fit to be her pawn.

Bai Yuekui may be the oldest human being on Earth to date.

The experiences she has accumulated over the years have made her trust only herself and extremely fixated on her own beliefs.

This kind of persistence cannot be changed.

Thinking about this, Jingyuan suddenly understood why nature insists on the death of elderly individuals.

The children Bai Yuekui raised have all grown up, but the highest power in Dragon Bone Village has always been in Bai Yuekui's hands. When Xia Tian came to visit, he couldn't even touch the final plan.

If those in power like Bai Yuekui remain in power forever, no new voices or new ideas will emerge in this world.

Naturally, there were no new plans or new possibilities.

An immortal ruler will only cling to his existing knowledge.

However, how limited is one's cognition?

If a species possessed immortality, it wouldn't explore the universe with endless life as Bai Yuekui envisioned. Instead, it would only... use endless life to consolidate its power.

Such a situation will only lead to the demise of a civilization due to its stagnation and isolation.

Chapter 246 Master Lai's Message

Carrie tried everything, but ultimately failed to wake Mark.

Jingyuan, Ranbing, Peini, and Jingnan stayed by their side the whole time, watching everything unfold.

Carrie brought over a report and said, "Mark's body, the strength of his skin, muscles, and bones far exceeds that of the Devouring Beasts we've encountered before. His neural network is exceptionally developed, and his cells possess extremely strong self-repair capabilities."

Regarding the essence of life, we lack the tools to detect it, but we have detected that it possesses all the conditions for life.

I can't figure out why he's asleep.

At this point, Ran Bing was somewhat desperate.

Seeing Ran Bing's crying expression, several fragments suddenly flashed through Jing Yuan's mind.

Jingyuan suddenly turned to Jingnan and said, "Jingnan, notify the incinerator to prepare!"

Everyone who heard Jing Yuan's words changed their expression drastically.

"Jingyuan, what are you going to do?"

"Jingyuan, Mark isn't dead yet!"

Jing Yuan reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm not going to cremate Mark. Trust me, maybe this will wake him up!"

Now, any treatment of Mark's body must be approved by Ran Bing.

But Ran Bing's only support right now is Jing Yuan.

She had no way to help Mark.

Therefore, she could only trust Jingyuan.

Jingyuan found a high-temperature resistant metal plate, fixed Mark to the metal plate, and used his telekinesis to lift the metal plate and bring him to the incineration room.

Only Ran Bing, Penny, Jing Nan, and Jia Li were outside the incinerator.

Jingyuan didn't let anyone else come over.

"Stand back!"

Jingyuan opened the door to the crematorium and sent Mark's body inside.

The moment the door opened, a powerful blast of hot air swept out.

Jingyuan increased the firepower, but did not close the door.

A barrier of mental energy stood in front of Jing Yuan, blocking the high-temperature airflow.

Jingyuan didn't close the door because he wanted to observe what was happening inside.

In the original story, after Carrie performed surgery on Mark, Mark entered a state of temporary death.

After entering the incineration chamber, the beast-like Mark awoke under the intense heat.

Jingyuan came here to recreate this scene.

After Mark's beast-like body was sent into the incineration chamber, the flames burned his skin, but to no avail.

Jingyuan intensified his attack.

He saw that Mark's skin began to fester under the even hotter flames, but in an instant, his skin recovered.

The process was repeated continuously, but the flames never penetrated Mark's muscle layer.

A long time has passed, and Mark's body has been repeatedly damaged and repaired, but Mark remains in a deep sleep.

Seeing that this trick was useless, Jingyuan used the metal plate to lift Mark out.

Ran Bing ran over immediately.

"Don't touch him!" Jing Yuan shouted immediately.

At this time, Mark's body temperature was extremely high.

Carrie, who was watching this scene from the side, clicked her tongue in amazement, "After being burned at such a high temperature repeatedly, it came out completely intact. The body of the Devouring Beast is truly amazing."

Jing Yuan looked at Mark, "He's not an ordinary Devouring Beast."

Jingyuan had met Tao Jun, one of the twelve kings. If Mark regained all of his cranial abilities, he should be able to rival Tao Jun.

For such a powerful creature, what are the flames of a mere incinerator?

After trying the incineration room, Jingyuan had no other options and could only send Mark back to the Ecological Research Institute.

Mark's current state is like that of a person in a vegetative state; his bodily functions are intact, but he is in a deep sleep.

Upon hearing the news, Mo Cheng, Erica, Fei Xue, and others also came to the Ecological Research Institute to visit Mark.

Everyone was furious to see Mark transformed into the body of a Devouring Beast.

Mo Cheng immediately went to find Bai Yuekui, but Jing Yuan stopped him.
