"You're awake?"

"I just looked at your indicators, and something seems off."

Chai Hua felt a pang of guilt, and beads of sweat trickled down his hair; he was clearly frantic. Nothing like this had ever happened before; the kid had probably entered a deep dream, and had almost lost consciousness.

Chu Wen put on his clothes, feeling dizzy and nauseous, and sat down to dry heave.

Chai Hua was startled by what he saw, and it took him a while to speak.

"Chu Wen, your physical condition is not optimistic. It matches the somatic cell growth curve I compared with yours."

"These were trained by Yuchi Yu previously."

Chai Hua took out a set of charts and compared them with the data that had just been collected.

The originally normal S-shaped curve suddenly dropped to zero, and the somatic cells died completely after being cultured for a period of time!

"What exactly have you been exposed to? The cells in your body cannot be cultured in vitro at all, and they will die directly after two generations, which is completely inconsistent with the law of slow decline."

"A martial artist's somatic cells can be passed down for at least 200 generations; it shouldn't be just this one case."

"You might be aging rapidly... Have you ever been to the Twilight Zone?"

Chai Hua looked at Chu Wen with a serious expression.

He instinctively assumed that Chu Wen had come to him for advice because he had been to the Twilight District and experienced something unusual in his body.

After all, Chu Wen is from Jiangnan Base City, so it's possible that he had unintentionally come into contact with the Twilight District.

The twilight zone is not a fixed area. Although it is expanding, many scattered areas will appear during the expansion process, causing people to get trapped.

Chu Wen mumbled, "It was probably an accident when I was a child, but I don't remember it very clearly."

Chai Hua stroked the gold ring on his right finger, lost in thought:

"Ordinary people who enter the Twilight Zone often think it's a dream, which is normal. I once dreamed that I was riding on the back of a blue dragon. After that day, I had an epiphany; I could see things with just a glance, in short, I had a photographic memory. But it also brought pain..."

"After that, my fate changed. The birth of the Twilight Zone promoted the transformation of martial artists. The difficulty of advancing from a War General to a War King was comparable to advancing to a War God now. But after that, the number of War Gods born surged, and strong people above the War God level also began to emerge."

"There are four places similar to the Twilight Zone: one is in the lair of monsters, on the Australian continent, one is in ancient Jiangnan, one is in the former site of the ancient Mayan civilization in the Americas, and the last one is in Antarctica."

"Contact with the Twilight Zone will cause abnormal changes in the human body, but there are also things in the Twilight Zone that will kill you if you touch them."

"Take care of your body. Your current situation is an exception. At least in all these years, I have never encountered such a strange physical condition. Even some war gods who have explored deep into the Twilight Zone do not experience this situation."

As Chai Hua said this, he thought of that old fellow Yu Chi Yu. He probably had already figured something out, and only now did he seize the opportunity to have Chu Wen come over.

"I've just resampled and verified it. Verifying somatic cell passage abnormalities will take at least a month. You'll stay here with me during this time."

"My doctoral student will notify you when the results are available. This should also be considered as contact with the Twilight Zone's anomaly."

After glancing at the other hibernation pods, Chai Hua led Chu Wen away from the area.

Chu Wen took the key and returned to the hotel where he had been receiving guests.

This year's exchange meeting was led by Kyoto University of Technology, and the exchange groups from the other eight universities stayed here.

Chu Wen was assigned a suite, fully equipped, including a separate training room that could withstand attacks from a War King level expert, and it was quite expensive to build.

After closing the door to the room, Chu Wen habitually disconnected the computer from the internet.

He sank indifferently into the Hunyuan Pearl within his consciousness.

He had long wanted to find out the truth.

For the first time, a significant change occurred due to the display on the panel.

【Hunyuan Pearl - Blood and Qi (3%)】

[Blood Energy Index: 1/10, consuming one point of the index can activate Blood Demon state]

[Chu Wen: Embryonic stage (0.01%)]

[Analysis of the current civilization complete. The civilization is too weak. Based on the civilization's strength classification, the host is: Intermediate War General.]

[Original Energy Points: 71, 1 point of Vitality Index = 10 points of Original Energy]

[Learned martial arts skills...]

[A basic martial arts skill can consume 1 point of Origin Energy to instantly reach the maximum proficiency level.]

The content of the cultivation method remained unchanged, except for the Hunyuan Pearl, which was altered.

Chu Wen originally thought that to complete the Hunyuan Pearl, he would need to find something corresponding for it to absorb.

Now it seems that perhaps all it takes is to come into contact with certain things in the Twilight Zone, like collecting information, to complete the task?

"One trip to the Dusk District probably isn't enough..." Chu Wen said with a wry smile.

But the next second, a chilling bell tolled in my ears.

Blood-red carrier pigeons circled at his feet, and a red dancing shoe came stepping on chains, making everything feel real.

The crimson light of the Hunyuan Pearl dimmed, and with Chu Wen's strength, he could clearly sense the abnormality in the surrounding environment.

"Twilight District..."

A blood-red bead floated beside him, and everything he had seen in his dream reappeared before his eyes.

This is a real world; he can hear the wind rustling through the trees and feel the cold as he sinks into the mud.

The sun, which always hung obliquely on the horizon, appeared exceptionally small in the hazy sandstorm.

"You've finally arrived."

"Welcome to the Realm of Memories."

A cute black ball jumped out of the Hunyuan Pearl and suddenly landed on Chu Wen's shoulder.

"After so many years, intelligent life has finally gathered enough data to open up this space."

"Chu Wen, I've been watching you silently for a long time."

The black ball blinked, looking at Chu Wen with an innocent expression.

Chu Wen pinched the black ball's face and kept pulling at it: "The texture simulation is quite realistic."

"Chu Wen! Show me some respect! I am the supreme administrator!"

"Supreme? You mean the virtual image guarding this wasteland?"

Chu Wen reached out to touch it and found that everything in front of him was like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water, with ripples appearing on the surface.

"You don't even look at how bad the Hunyuan Pearl is now. Over the years, you're the only one who's completed the information three times. The data inside is almost completely lost."

"Data can die too, you know!"

"Also, my name is Zoro, not Black Ball!"

"Alright, Suo Daqiu," Chu Wen said calmly, "Now can you tell me your purpose?"

It was no wonder that it had been dragged into this space for no reason. As soon as the Chaos Origin Pearl woke up, it wanted to cause trouble!

"Sigh, I've been holding this in for so many years, I can't even remember. Can't you let me get a little excited? Why do you have to start with serious stuff right away?"

Zoro pulled out two round hands from his belly pouch and pointed to the distant sky, saying, "Every time the data is replenished, one chain will break. When all the chains are broken, this sea of ​​data will be revived, and you will be its master."

The sandstorm dissipated, revealing a clear blue sky. However, countless menacing chains loomed in and out of the clouds above, while peaceful light flowed quietly below, as if lost in an eternal dream.

"It will take forever for all these chains to break."

Chu Wen glanced at it and realized there were probably tens of thousands of chains in the sky!

Suo Da put his hands on his hips and said, "Sigh, there's nothing we can do. It's been broken for too long, and it's too difficult to repair many things. But once it's repaired, the functions of the Hunyuan Pearl are far more powerful than you think."

"This is a divine artifact created by an advanced civilization to aid geniuses in their cultivation."

"Are there four more artifacts like this on Earth?"

"We're incomplete, aren't we? If you get your hands on them all, you'll be complete."

Chu Wen figured out some key points and exhaled a breath of stale air, saying, "So, this is the fifth Twilight Zone?"
