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

"Ridiculous!" Jing Yuan sneered, "To escape the Devouring Beasts' pursuit, you willingly transformed into one. What difference is there between that and being dead?"

"That's right! To completely transform into a Devouring Beast is tantamount to death!"

Tumen continued, "It's better to die as a human than to become a Devouring Beast completely!"

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "Of course you have the right to choose freely. However..."

Jingyuan didn't continue. He came here to ask the Gene scientist for help in treating Mark.

According to what Tumen said, only the people below can help him!

What he wanted was for the Zeon to transform Mark into his Tri-Chain form and awaken him.

Jingyuan looked at the five people on the scale plate. He couldn't just hand them over to the people on the ground, so he asked, "I can take you away to wherever you want to go. But before that, I need you to take me to see your leader, the leader of the Zeon people. Don't worry, if you take me there, I will ensure your safety."

“We…” Tumen hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay, but before I take you there, we need to find a scientist! We’re worried that she might be in danger if we’re late!”

Chapter 253 The Technology to Restore Humanity

"A scientist?" Jing Yuan was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. He nodded and said, "Okay! No problem."

Jing Yuan directly manipulated the scale disc to descend to a distance of four or five meters above the ground, and then said to the four humanoid Devouring Beasts on the ground: "The ultimate goal of the ecosystem is to absorb the life essence of everyone. You can't completely integrate into the ecosystem, so give up! I'm taking the five of them with me!"

The humanoid Devouring Beast glared at Jing Yuan and roared, "Stop right there!"

The leading humanoid Devouring Beast suddenly sprang into action, leaping into the air and throwing a punch at Jing Yuan.

Jingyuan watched this scene quietly.

This humanoid Devouring Beast possesses explosive power and speed that surpass even some Awakened Ones.

It's hard to believe that simply fusing the genes of the Devouring Beast could elevate a person's power to this level.

Jing Yuan waited quietly for the humanoid Devouring Beast to approach, then threw a punch, sending it flying.

The humanoid Devouring Beast crashed heavily to the ground, and its companions rushed over to help it up.

Jing Yuan stared at the four humanoid Devouring Beasts.

He came to find the descendants of Gene to ask for their help, so he did not want to antagonize any of them.

These people weren't as mindless as the Devouring Beasts; after seeing Jing Yuan display his strength, they didn't make a move.

Jing Yuan glanced at Tu Men and the others, then said, "It seems they're not easy to communicate with!"

Tumen and the others exchanged glances, somewhat at a loss.

The rest of them were a bit smarter; when they saw that Jingyuan could control the car to fly, they knew that this person was definitely not simple.

The humanoid Devouring Beasts were unaware of this and attacked Jing Yuan directly.

After witnessing Jing Yuan's strength, they felt a greater sense of fear towards him.

Immediately, Jing Yuan ignored the humanoid Devouring Beasts on the ground, increased the height of the scale disc, and flew towards the spaceship.

"You said you were looking for a scientist, where is he?"

Tumen pulled a small tablet from his pocket and checked the map.

"It's about 100 kilometers north of here."

"Is that where you Gene people live?"

"No, it's just an old-world survival base. There's a secret laboratory of ours there."

Jingyuan nodded, then asked, "Where do you Gen people live in settlements?"

Tumen was taken aback. He looked at the people behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "At the seaside, hundreds of kilometers away from here."

"You live by the sea?"

"Yes. After the disaster, geological disasters occurred frequently, and the original territory of the Zeon Kingdom also underwent tremendous changes. It was only after many twists and turns that we found our current settlement."

"So what is your settlement like? Is it a huge cave where everyone lives together, or an underground military fortress?"

“We have both. We use the old-world military bunkers as our base and look for caves in the surrounding area to live in. If we can’t find a cave, we live directly on the ground.”

"Living directly on the ground?" Jing Yuan was surprised at first, but after looking back, he understood.

They used mana bio-genes as a disguise, which indeed provided them with the prerequisite for living directly on the ground.

How many settlements do you have?

"On a!"

"Is there no one living in the area where the scientists are located?"

"No! Scientists are just hiding there, secretly conducting experiments in laboratories left over from the old world."

"What kind of experiment is he conducting? Why is he doing it secretly?" Jingyuan asked curiously.

"She has developed a method that can help us remove the Devourer genes and restore our human bodies."

But these studies violated the kingdom's laws, so she could only conduct them in secret.

Jing Yuan suddenly stopped flying, turned around to look at Tu Men, and asked, "You said she can remove the Devouring Beast genes from the Eco-Chimera and restore you to human bodies?"

Seeing Jing Yuan's sudden change in expression, Tu Men was somewhat at a loss. He nodded blankly and said, "Yes. However, the research is not yet successful. The kingdom's soldiers are chasing us because they want to stifle this research."

At this moment, Jingyuan was thinking about many things.

He came to find the Genians because he heard from Master Rai that the Genians might possess the technology to transform Marks into complete Mana creatures.

If they not only have the technology to transform into complete Mana creatures, but also the technology to remove the genes of the Devourer Beasts.

Should Mark be turned into a complete Devourer? Or should he be turned into a human?

"My lord? What's wrong?" Tumen asked cautiously.

"It's nothing!" Jing Yuan turned around and continued flying, casually saying, "So that's why they're chasing you!"

"Correct!"

"You...want to turn back into humans?"

Tumen nodded. "Yes. Since becoming a half-human, half-devouring beast monster is useless, we might as well return to being human. Even if we're going to die, we should die as humans!"

Jing Yuan looked at them and asked, "You want to turn back into humans, but only to die as humans?"

"Yes."

"It's all the same death, what's the difference?" Jingyuan asked.

“Of course they’re different!” Tumen replied with only this one sentence, without saying anything more.

Jingyuan certainly agreed with this statement.

"Are there many people among you Genes who think this way?"

“There are many!” Tumen continued, “If Dr. Tuli’s research succeeds, half of the people may choose to revert to human form.”

"Half?" Jing Yuan asked curiously, "How many people are there in total?"

"Two or three thousand people!"

"So many! Then you must be the largest human settlement on Earth!"

Tumen smiled with relief and said, "You still consider us human beings?"

"Of course!"

Although their appearance has become very strange, Jingyuan can sense their life essence aura, and their life essence is still human.

"So now, you Zeons are divided into two camps: one wants to completely integrate into the ecosystem, and the other wants to return to humanity." Jing Yuan said helplessly, "Then your leader will definitely spare no effort to kill that scientist, right? What did you say his name was?"

“Dr. Tumen!” Tumen answered first, then continued, “The King has sent a large number of soldiers to capture Dr. Tumen. We escaped to protect Dr. Tumen.”

Jing Yuan glanced at them. With the strength of the five of them, they were chased all over the place by those four humanoid Devouring Beasts, and they said they came to rescue people?

Jingyuan noticed an interesting title: they actually had a king!

"You just mentioned 'king'? You have a king?"

Tumen nodded and said, "So we're not called the Kingdom of Gen now, but the Kingdom of Buria, ruled by King Buria."

"Your king is also an eco-chimera, isn't he!"

"He is the strongest eco-chimera among us!"

Jingyuan said this was perfectly reasonable.

In this apocalyptic world, power must come from force.

Although Morgan himself did not have superpowers, he controlled the armed forces of the Beacon.

Bai Yuekui of Dragon Bone Village is the strongest person in the entire village.

Uto of Steelflame Fortress is also the strongest in Steelflame Fortress.

The remnants of Zeon, or rather the leader of the Kingdom of Buria, could not possibly be a weakling.

Jing Yuan manipulated the Scale Disc to the hatch of the Phantom spaceship, allowing the five members of the Tumen to enter the spaceship.

Penny and the others on the spaceship were shocked to see Tumen and the others.

It was even more shocking than seeing Mark's beast form.
