From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

That was the sound of the river flowing.

Mark shook his head to stabilize his life essence form and replied, "I am human!"

In an instant.

The seductive voice emanating from Mana's ecological will vanished, and her mind instantly cleared.

So what if they're clones?

I'm Mark!

[Ran Bing's close friend!]

【I am--】

【people!】

Even after realizing the truth about his identity, everything he experienced was not a lie. The hunters on the lighthouse who trusted him so much, the villagers and awakened ones in Dragonbone Village who gradually accepted him... even if they had things to hide from him, they did not lie to him. Their feelings for him, whether it was hatred or closeness, were all from the heart and not fake.

These experiences have all become part of his memories and life!

Absolutely true!

After making up his mind, all the jars in the laboratory shattered, and countless young Marks approached Mark and merged, causing Mark's body to grow continuously, eventually transforming into Mark in the form of a Devouring Beast. Then, it began to compress, transforming into the adult Mark.

"Go."

Jiang Liu's illusory figure appeared in front of Mark, pointed to the laboratory door that had been opened, and smiled slightly, "Ran Bing is waiting for you."

"Ok!"

As Jiang Liu's figure gradually faded and disappeared, Mark nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with gratitude, and quickly ran out of the laboratory.

Under the blinding light, a city ruin appeared before Mark's eyes, but it was quite desolate, and the main structures of many buildings were intertwined, like a child violently piecing together two blocks without any grooves.

"Is this the world inside my Spirit Seed? Why is it a ruin? It looks somewhat familiar, like a place from my past memories, but why does it feel so out of place?" Mark wondered, recalling that Dragonbone Village had researched the Devouring Beast's Spirit Seed, saying it was a multi-dimensional space—

It seems that my memories are reflected in the Spirit Seed, but due to the overlapping spaces within the Spirit Seed, the buildings and terrain in my memories are intertwined and distorted.

Mark stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and sensed the presence of life essence. He discovered two humanoid clumps of life essence in the same location and immediately began to track them…

Chapter 1196 Resurrecting Ran Bing (Part 2)

"Shh!"

With a flick of her arm, Maiduo swept her spear horizontally, drawing a streak of light that chopped off the attacking snake-dog brain, ending its life.

"That's really strange..."

The one who spoke was another girl with short, tomboyish white hair, deep green eyes, wearing a tight blue long-sleeved combat uniform, black tight-fitting sweatpants, black Martin boots, a sidearm at her waist, and a sniper rifle on her back.

This person was none other than Ran Bing.

After entering Mark's Spirit Seed, due to her obsession with Mark—love—she did not enter a state of slumber but remained awake, wandering within it in search of Mark, until she encountered Madonna earlier.

Unlike Ran Bing, Mai Duo's obsession was not deep; she only wanted to go home. Therefore, after entering Mark's spiritual seed, she remained in a curled-up, sleeping state like an infant, quietly floating in a cave until she was awakened by an accidental tremor (Mark's fusion of the eye tumor). She then left the cave and came to the space where Ran Bing was.

It was only after meeting Maido and learning that she had come to this place because Mark had absorbed her life essence that Ran Bing suddenly remembered that she was dead and that she was now in a state of life essence, similar to a soul state.

This place is Mark's spiritual seed, a multi-dimensional space where everything is a reflection of Mark's memories. However, because the space here is mixed, various familiar and unfamiliar memory structures and terrains are intertwined—

"Why is there a Devouring Beast inside Mark's Spirit Seed?"

"Is it the Devouring Beast from Mark's memories?"

"But this snakehound's teeth are sharper, and its face is much more ferocious than any Mark has ever seen! When he was in the hunter team, he couldn't do without me. I'm sure I've never seen this type of snakehound before."

In response to this question, Maido put away her gun and replied, "The Devouring Beasts regularly pay rent to the Mana Flower King. It seems that Mark's Spirit Seed space can connect with the Spirit Seeds of other Devouring Beasts, which allows other evolved Devouring Beasts to enter Mark's Spirit Seed through the spatial links."

Another possibility is that some of your life essence has dissipated, leading to the loss of some memories.

"The life essence can dissipate?" Ran Bing was shocked.

"If the Devouring Beast does not hand over the life essence it has absorbed to the Flower King, the life essence will slowly dissipate. Theoretically, it would take only one year for an adult's life essence to completely dissipate."

At this point, Maiduo paused, looked at Ran Bing's condition, and asked, "How old are you?"

"I remember I was nineteen years old when I died."

Ran Bing said uncertainly.

"You look about my age now, like fifteen or sixteen. Logically, since you've been here for over half a year, you should be around twelve or thirteen..."

"But why do I look like I'm fifteen or sixteen years old?"

"Wait, let me finish."

Maido stretched and sat on the back of the decapitated Devouring Beast, saying leisurely, "But Mark was lucky. After meeting Boss Bai, he met Boss Jiang, who put a golden hoop on him to ensure the stability of the life essence within his spiritual seed."

This means ensuring that our life essence will not continue to dissipate.

Mark should still be cultivating at this time... Perhaps Mark can become a living soul reservoir? And we, the dead, can reconstruct a 'sanctuary for the dead' from Mark's spirit seed?

Upon hearing Mai Duo's imaginative idea, Ran Bing actually started to think about it, saying, "We can touch everything in this space, and there's gravity here too. Theoretically, it seems like it really could work?"

Just now.

Maido's ears twitched, and she leaped off the back of the dead Devouring Beast, spear in hand, shouting at the ruined building to her left, "Who's there? Come out!"

"it's me!"

Mark emerged from behind the building.

"who are you?"

Maido was puzzled.

"mark!"

Ran Bing rushed forward and hugged Mark tightly. Then, as if realizing something, she exclaimed, "You've 'soul-sucked' yourself?"

"No···"

Upon hearing Ran Bing's question, Mark's joy froze for a moment. Slightly speechless, he could only recount the entire process, from the cause to the result: "In short, I have met the requirements. I can extract your life essence and, through reverse life essence transfer, perfectly integrate it into the new bodies printed by the bio-3D printer that are identical to your original bodies. I will also help you directly open the microcosmic orbit, maintaining the coordination between the life essence and the new body, thereby completing the resurrection!"

"You bastard!"

To everyone's surprise, Ran Bing got angry. "Didn't I tell you? You have to live well even without me! To revive me and save the world, you must be putting yourself through a lot of hardship! You must be... very tired, right?"

Hearing the concern, Mark's eyes welled up with tears, but he shook his head firmly and said, "Apart from the first two months when I was training every day and was a bit tired, the following six months were not tiring at all. If I had to summarize it, I would say they were fulfilling."

Earning a living, completing tasks, and playing games at the entertainment center...

Uh--

Should I not have said the last sentence?

"Pfft!"

Seeing Mark's nervousness, Ran Bing smiled and said, "That Boss Jiang is quite good. He actually taught you how to live well."

"But I can't live without you."

Mark knelt down on one knee, held Ran Bing's hand, and said affectionately, "Just like you always told me, can I manage without you?"

In an instant.

Ran Bing's eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Mark again. Just as she was about to kiss him, Mai Duo's untimely voice rang out, saying, "Mark, Ran Bing is currently fifteen years old. According to the rules of Dragon Bone Village, this is considered molesting a minor. The circumstances are serious, and your life essence will have to be recycled and put into the soul storage jar."

Immediately, Mark and Ran Bing gave an awkward smile and quickly separated.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this, Maido laughed heartily, skipped over to Mark's side, punched his shoulder, and said with a grin, "Is this what you look like as a human? But I still prefer your beast form, it's much more stylish than this big, burly man you are now."

For a moment, Mark was speechless, only saying to Madonna, "I'll go first..."

"Let's send Ran Bing out first."

Maido naturally understood Mark's thoughts, but didn't want to put him in a difficult position, "I'll just observe the environment inside this Spirit Seed a little longer—"

I am now someone in Dragon Bone Village who has truly experienced the internal environment of the Spirit Seed!

I need to record more data... I just hope I won't forget my experiences here after I'm resurrected.

Seeing Mydo's reaction, Mark felt a surge of gratitude again and said, "Thank you."

"No need to be so polite, everyone in Dragon Bone Village is one family."

Maiduo chuckled and pushed Mark and Ran Bing around, "Let's go out quickly, lest Grandpa Xia get impatient."

"Maiduo, stay here and don't move. I'll come back for you as soon as I revive Ranbing!"

"I promise!"

A day's plan

Chapter 1197 One Day Ago - The Hunters Gather

Inside the Life Source Detection Array, Mark's chest opened, and a humanoid golden life source emerged from it, swimming in a special liquid environment and being stabilized by a magnetic confinement field.

"Ran Bing—"

Mark stared in disbelief at Ran Bing's life essence, but Xia Tianlai's voice came from outside the array beside him: "Mark, don't waste time, act quickly. The frequency of Ran Bing's new body's meridian vibrations has reached the same level as the life essence, it is the right time to transfer the life essence in."

"understood."

Mark responded with a single sentence, completely severing his connection with Ran Bing's life essence, and quietly watched as she transformed into streams of light, merging into Ran Bing's meridian circulation.

Afterwards, Mark immediately radiated his magnetic energy, assisting Ran Bing's life essence to flow through her eight meridians, refine her nine orifices, and achieve a complete cycle of Qi circulation. This thoroughly coordinated the connection between her life essence and her new body, enabling Ran Bing to truly revive.

After the special liquid dissipated, Mark opened the crystal coffin, carried Ran Bing out of the slowly opening array, and hurriedly took the clothes that Xia Tian handed over and put them on Ran Bing's body.

Xia Tian pursed her lips, slightly dissatisfied with Mark's distrust, but still examined Ran Bing's body and said, "The eight extraordinary meridians are now fully open, and the life essence is completely in harmony with the new body. As long as her life essence is fully distributed throughout the cells of her entire body, she will be able to awaken."

"Ran Bing..."

"It's Maido's turn!"

Oden interrupted Mark's heartfelt words at an inopportune moment, saying to Xia Tian, ​​"Old Xia, you have Mai Duo's genetic information and pre-death medical imaging data. Let's get started."

"Yes, but there aren't enough highly biomimetic carbon-based biomaterials."
