The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Hearing Lu Yan bring up serious matters, Yao Xiangyang temporarily put aside his curiosity.

"Ostensibly, they're here to announce new screening rules, but it's probably more about investigating the conditions of various shelters."

"Once this screening system is successfully established, the connection between the original shelter and other shelters will also be strengthened."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "If these scattered shelters could be connected, humanity's overall strength would leap forward, but this is not an easy thing to do."

The situation at Shelter 056 was not an isolated case. As far as he knew, the autonomy of other shelters had also been encroached upon by forces like Mu Yun.

It won't be easy for the original shelter to regain control.

Yao Xiangyang sighed inwardly, feeling more and more regretful the more he thought about it.

It's rare for the Speaker to leave the sanctuary. If we miss this opportunity, it won't be so easy to find another chance to deal with Mu Yun.

"This is an attempt to centralize power."

Lu Yan suddenly realized that his predecessor had lived in the town for many years but had never heard of any other shelters.

The Original Sanctuary's move was clearly aimed at strengthening its control over other sanctuaries and achieving centralized power.

"But how will they solve the problem of fog isolation?"

Lu Yan was curious; centralizing power wasn't something that could be achieved simply by talking about it.

Without convenient means of transportation, the various shelters remained isolated at sea, unable to connect with each other.

However, Lu Yan did not delve into these issues and quietly opened the panel.

The executioner, unwilling to remain idle, decides to actively seek out criminals...

Goodness, even after being promoted, he still hasn't changed his habit of running around everywhere.

This is a good thing, after all, whether it is a detective or an eavesdropper, they can bring back a considerable harvest every time they go out, and the executioner should be no exception.

Perhaps, we can still find Fang Xiu?

Lu Yan put aside these thoughts for the time being and turned to look at the other sequences.

[The martial artist, extremely annoyed at being overtaken on a curve, pulls in five breathing techniques for extra intense training!]

The Gardener, still unable to find a path to advancement, grew increasingly anxious.

The mysterious mentor also felt the pressure and urged you to quickly take those potions.

Lu Yan smiled with satisfaction. As expected, competition breeds motivation, and this immediately stirred up the other sequences.

However, the promotion of the Gardener of the Strange Tales is indeed a problem. He has made many attempts, but he is still like a headless fly.

"Perhaps we could try to draw upon the power of the Primal Potion."

Lu Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and was just about to find an excuse to leave when Yao Xiangyang spoke first.

"I need to make some preparations for any unexpected situations. You should go back and get some rest too."

Yao Xiangyang patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said, "You've just been promoted, so remember to take your time to adapt and absolutely do not rush things."

"After this, promotion within the ranks won't be so easy; you must be extremely cautious!"

Lu Yan nodded solemnly, then hurriedly left.

……

The shelter's sewers.

Fang Xiu lay panting in a dirty corner, his eyes filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

"Damn it, why are there so many awakened Primal Sequences in this place?!"

Fang Xiu touched the pendant around his neck. If it hadn't helped him conceal his presence, he might have already been captured by those two.

"Guo Zhicai is dead, and the other grave keepers have lost contact. How are we supposed to seize the Primal Card from Shelter 056 now?!"

Fang Xiu covered his face and sighed. If things continued like this, the task given to him by the gods would become even more difficult to complete.

"Perhaps I should look for new allies."

……

Back in his room, Lu Yan immediately took out the three bottles of magic potions he had pilfered, opened the caps, and drank them all in one gulp.

These three potions had no connection to his sequence, and no one else would dare to take them.

He only dared to act so recklessly because he had the control panel.

However, he was still very curious about what effects these potions, which had nothing to do with him, would have after he took them.

After a long wait, the subtitles finally popped up again.

The mysterious mentor carefully studied the "Berserker" potion, successfully obtaining its formula, and then gave the refined essence to the elite warrior.

[The warrior's progress increases by 5% after consuming a magic potion.]

[Ultimate Warrior: 68%]

"Even potions from completely different sources can be taken?"

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised. Although berserkers and ultimate warriors followed similar paths, they were ultimately two different paths.

But now the warrior has taken the berserker's potion. Could it be that similar paths can be switched at will?

Lu Yan thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible, so he continued to check the subsequent subtitles.

The mysterious mentor carefully examined the "Windwalker" potion, successfully obtaining its formula and preserving its refined essence.

The mysterious mentor carefully studied the "Shadow Hunter" potion, successfully obtained its formula, and then gave the refined essence to the executioner to consume...

[The executioner is not at home, so the mysterious mentor can only be kept in reserve for now.]

Lu Yan nodded slightly; indeed, only similar paths would work.

But that Executioner is such a troublemaker. Couldn't he have left a little later? What if the extraordinary essence had gone bad?

[Mysterious Mentor Promotion Requirement 1: Obtain five Sequence 8 potion recipes (5/5) - Completed]

A new subtitle appears, indicating that all the conditions for the mysterious mentor's advancement have been met, and only the progress remains to be completed.

[The mysterious mentor has deciphered potion recipes one after another, deepening his understanding of the occult; progress +15%]

[Mysterious Mentor: 63%]

"What an unexpected bonus!"

Lu Yan grinned. If he could maintain this pace, he might really only need to take drugs.

With this in mind, Lu Yan finally brought out the highlight of the banquet.

Original Potion!

"I wonder if I'll get to see those guys again this time..."

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, then opened the primordial potion and drank it all in one gulp.

The familiar stream of light reappeared and quickly flowed into his body, and his consciousness reappeared in front of that eerie giant tree.

The giant tree remains ethereal and ever-changing, and the twenty-two paths on its trunk still shine brightly.

But for some reason, Lu Yan felt that these paths seemed to have changed slightly from when he last saw them.

"No, it's not just 'seems,' a real change has occurred!"

Lu Yan looked towards the end of the path and found that several of the mysterious beings that should have been standing there were missing, and the appearances of several others had also changed.

The original path and the existence of its end are actually changing?

Lu Yan was filled with doubt and wanted to observe more closely, but this once again attracted the attention of those mysterious beings.

The murmured words echoed in his ears again, and Lu Yan's eyes rolled back as he fainted.

[You have closely observed twenty-two primordial paths; the sequences have gained much.]

The ancient gods continue to watch over you...

You have caught the attention of the new god!

[Primal Sequence Awakening Successfully!]
