I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Several night watch doctors were currently surrounding Rick, constantly mixing medicine.

A large amount of herbs are mixed with the prepared medicinal base.

They poured the prepared medicine little by little into the gaps in the shell of Rick's completely deformed body.

Since Rick couldn't find his mouth, they had no choice but to use this method to force-feed him the medicine.

As the medicine flowed in, Rex's insect body did not react.

They made notes with great anxiety and helplessness, and then prepared the next medicine.

At present, Rek is, after all, a fifth-tier being, so administering such a small amount of medicine will not have any effect. Therefore, they plan to use an exhaustive method to forcibly prolong Rek's life.

"Lu Yuan."

Klaus saw Lu Yuan arrive and quickly went to greet him.

Clearly, the deputy chief of staff, who hadn't been able to help, didn't look too pleased.

"How's the inner city?" Klaus's tone was somewhat urgent. Then his gaze fell on Rick, his eyes filled with self-reproach. "Why was Rick injured like this?"

Lu Yuan paused for a moment before replying, "Leike blocked that forbidden object for me."

As he spoke, he jumped off the swarm of knowledge insects, his legs feeling a little weak when he landed.

"He borrowed power from certain beings. In doing so, he paid a price."

Klaus remained silent. He did not press further about what that power was.

Because anything associated with taboos never ends well. There's a reason why the empire explicitly forbids anything related to taboos.

Several horrific incidents of forbidden forces going out of control have occurred within the empire previously.

Several knowledgeable and uncanny extraordinary individuals worked together, borrowing forbidden power from somewhere, hoping to make that old, fifth-tier uncanny extraordinary individual step into the forbidden threshold.

But they failed, and not just failed.

That strange, fifth-tier extraordinary being lost control due to that forbidden power.

He did touch that threshold, but he did so in a bizarre way, not as a human.

So he massacred the city. He slaughtered most of the human city he was protecting, and finally died because his power went out of control.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to humanity creating a being that slaughters its own kind.

This is just one of many events.

"Make way," Lu Yuan said to the doctors. "Let me take a look at Rex."

But the doctors did not immediately move aside.

The lead doctor stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.

When Rek was brought here by the Zerg, he was already in this state, unconscious.

They stayed here and tried every available medicine, but after pouring it in, Rex's insect body didn't show any obvious reaction.

For now, all we can do is keep adjusting the new medicine and try to keep Rick alive.

"I know," Lu Yuan said quickly.

He was also aware of the abilities he had demonstrated within the branch.

Lu Yuan's expertise lies in medicine making and strange inscriptions, as well as his ability to see strange things.

This is the ability he demonstrated; no one had ever heard of him being able to treat illnesses.

The matter of treating Klaus last time was also kept secret.

So the doctors looked at Klaus.

But Klaus knew Lu Yuan had another ability, so he said nothing and simply nodded to everyone. The doctors surrounding Rick then stepped back.

Lu Yuan walked up to Lei Ke, squatted down, and decisively began his research.

[Taboo Studies - Specializing in Research and Development...]

[Analyzing target characteristics: Rick (human) (Authority stripped) (Severely injured body)]

[Treatment plan is being simulated...]

[Proposal Generation: A Glimpse of Hope. Success Rate: 99%]

[Principle: Merging the goal with "hope." Hope can gain more opportunities to grow, and the goal can also be restored, thus stabilizing the strength of both.]

[The price: To forever relinquish one's human identity.]

[Solution Generation: Stable. Success Rate: 87%]

[Price: Permanently limited to the peak of the fourth tier.]

[Solution Generation: Sealed. Success Rate: 100%]

[Principle: The target is sealed in a container made of special material, isolating it from the outside world, delaying the completion of fusion, and giving the target body enough time to achieve the recovery effect.]

[The price: The day of awakening is nowhere in sight]

Lu Yuan's gaze fell upon these plans. He hadn't expected the success rate to be so high.

He originally thought that with this kind of injury, there would be a 30% or 40% chance of survival.

It seems that there is still hope for Rick; moreover, he seems to have the potential to stabilize his own power.

As for the latter two options, Lu Yuan only glanced at them and then skipped over them.

He couldn't accept the price he would have to pay after succeeding, even though the success rate was quite high.

Lu Yuan wanted to preserve Lei Ke's strength, and he had already paid too high a price for it.

Another option is to delay, which has a 100% success rate, but no one knows how long it will take.

Therefore, the optimal solution at present is still to cling to hope, even though the cost is right there in the solution: to forever abandon one's human identity.

Lu Yuan stared at the line of text for a moment. He knew that it would be hard for anyone to accept that Rick would abandon his human identity like that.

But as long as Rick is still conscious, anything is possible.

So that's what we'll do. Take Rick to the foot of Hope and handle it according to the plan; the rest is up to the tree.

Lu Yuan stood up.

The sky was filled with golden light. He looked up and followed the direction where the golden light was most intense.

That's the logistics area.

The roof of that building had been completely breached.

Broken bricks and stones lay scattered all around, and a section of tree crown peeked out from the hole, its branches and leaves outstretched, golden light cascading down from them.

Lu Yuan looked at the very tall tree crown and paused.

Unexpectedly, hope grew so quickly.

You should know that when he left, he was just a small tree, barely taller than a person.

The room was spacious enough for it to regrow for days or even months, but right now, the roof could no longer contain it.

"Klaus," Lu Yuan said, "Take Rex with you, let's hurry to the logistics area."

Rex's body was unusually heavy at this moment, and ordinary superhumans couldn't lift it at all.

Klaus couldn't exert much force by himself, and worried about injuring Rick, so the others used ropes to form a net and lifted Rick from the open space. The dozen or so watchmen worked together to carry him towards the logistics area.
