Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

The casualties were considerable.

He looked at Qin Song and said, "Fortunately, Song Qing lured away the beasts, otherwise our casualties would have been even greater."

Bai Yuekui nodded; she had just received the mission briefing via communicator.

"Welcome home!"

"Welcome home, hero!" The villagers looked at Qin Song with gratitude.

The field team members were all their relatives and friends; it was Song Qing who saved their families.

Qin Song was a little hesitant. If they were so enthusiastic, how could he possibly absorb the power of Huifu Lake in the future?

The welcoming ceremony was simple, as someone had died and it was not appropriate to be too grand.

This was the first time Qin Song had ever seen the Origin Essence Returning to the Source.

The bodies of the deceased were brought back, and through a series of complex rituals, the life iteration system separated the soul from the body.

The soul transformed into a human-shaped ray of light that appeared in the lake, and the family members wept as they bid farewell to the deceased.

After the ceremony, Bai Yuekui found Qin Song and asked, "Are you injured? Let me see."

Qin Song took off his shirt.

Bai Yuekui placed her small hand on Qin Song's chest, activated her source energy, and frowned after a moment.

The fluctuations in this person's body felt familiar, somewhat like cranial dynamism.

She wasn't entirely sure, saying, "It's possible that the source energy of a monarch-level being invaded your life essence, causing you to be unable to recover."

After saying that, he looked at the other woman and said, "Let's see if we can treat it."

The woman had two little buns tied around her head, wore a slightly bulky red jacket, and had super short hot pants that revealed her taut, long legs. Who else could it be but Jiu Ge?

Jiu Ge approached Qin Song and manipulated the high-tech watch on his wrist, causing it to emit a beam of light that swept towards Qin Song.

She exclaimed in surprise, "He's covered in injuries, let me try."

Jiuge stood on tiptoe and said, "You're too tall, lower your head."

Qin Song lowered his head, wanting to see if the wine song could cure him.

Jiu Ge kissed Qin Song's forehead, and a wisp of energy entered his body, quickly activating his cellular vitality.

The wounds began to disappear at a visible rate, but within a few breaths, they reappeared.

Jiuge shook his head. "No."

Bai Yuekui pondered for a moment, then said, "Song Qing, come find me tomorrow."

She plans to have Song Qing join the core research base.

Qin Song nodded. "I'll go back and rest now."

Nana, feeling a little sorry for him, supported his arm as they walked back to the dormitory.

Seeing that Nana was reluctant to leave, Qin Song smiled and asked, "Want to sleep together?"

Nana glared at Qin Song, "You've become like this, and you're still thinking about those things..."

Qin Song patted his chest, "Scars are a man's monument."

Nana suddenly shoved him against the wall, stood on tiptoe and pinned him against it, saying, "You're too tall, lower your head."

"A real man never bows his head!"

Nana reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, then used her strength to lift herself into the air.

"You saved me twice, do you have some ulterior motive towards me?"

Qin Song smiled and breathed warmly into her ear, "No, you had something to say to me before you passed out yesterday. What was it?"

The pink from Nana's ears quickly spread to her face, and she stammered, "N-nothing."

“You can’t even lie. I want you to look me in the eye and tell me.”

Nana raised her head to meet Qin Song's burning gaze, and for a moment she was mesmerized.

"I'm going to sleep if you don't tell me." Qin Song pushed Nana away.

Nana punched his chest. "Man, you know perfectly well."

"I do not know."

Nana pushed Qin Song onto the bed.

As the sun rose high in the sky, Nana leaned against Qin Song's chest, inhaling his scent, and murmured, "You bad guy! How am I supposed to explain this to Yunyun?"

Qin Song glanced at her sideways, "Explain what? I remember someone was the one who did it last night."

"Hmph! Did you and my sister... you know... too?"

Qin Song understood immediately. No wonder the girl had been giving him the cold shoulder yesterday morning; it turned out she had discovered Yunyun had left his room.

"Nothing really happened between me and your sister."

Nana pouted, "A lone man and woman at night, and she ran out of your dorm with her clothes all messed up? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"I just made a mistake that every man in the world would make..."

After breakfast, Qin Song went to Huifu Lake.

Bai Yuekui was sitting cross-legged by the lake.

Goodness, they've made this place their home.

"Come with me," Bai Yuekui said, getting up and walking outside.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at a huge laboratory.

"This is the Longgu Village Source Potential Activation Room," Bai Yuekui explained.

Qin Song's gaze swept over the many high-tech devices. Among the experimenters were young talents such as Xia Dou, Mai Duo, Tasia, and Sui Xing, as well as senior figures such as Xia Tianlai and Nanji Xing.

"Hey! Brother, you're here?" Qianli waved.

Everyone greeted them.

Qin Song responded to each of them.

Bai Yuekui looked at the disc-shaped instrument in the central area. "This phenomenological device is used by the village to activate potential, but it can also separate the soul from the body."

"Why don't you try to see if there's something wrong with your soul? The choice is yours."

Qin Song pondered for a moment, deciding to see if this device could help him solve the problem of mental overload.

He stood on the disc.

The group of Shattered Stars began to operate.

Xia Dou put on the helmet and manipulated the game controller. "Brother Song Qing, I will use specific electromagnetic pulses to stimulate your acupoints, thereby shutting down your five senses, and then drawing your life essence out of your body..."

"let's start."

The robotic arm emitted electrical pulses, which struck Qin Song from top to bottom.

At this moment, Qin Song completely concealed his breathing and did not trigger his self-defense mechanism.

As the final blow landed on his forehead, he felt his vision blurring.

"Consciousness is sealed; prepare to extract the life essence."

The next second, a dark figure gradually materialized behind Qin Song.

Bai Yuekui's pupils contracted.

This fluctuation is starting to look more and more like cranial lesions.

Qin Song saw his own body and looked around.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in the hearts of everyone present, as if an ancient predator was staring at them.

"Is this the soul?" Qin Song clenched his fist, his body clenching as well.

"No! His five senses haven't been sealed off!" Xia Tianlai exclaimed. "His life essence can still be controlled remotely!"

Bai Yuekui frowned.

This is the first time in decades that we've encountered such a situation.

Qin Song suddenly sensed something and looked up.

With a gaze piercing through the top of the laboratory and through a layer of spatial ripples, one could vaguely see some strange shapes in the sky. Those shapes quickly converged and finally turned into blurry human figures.

The figures seemed to have noticed him as well, and they all turned to look.

Immediately following was a tremendous suction force, seemingly trying to pull him in.

The next second, Qin Song's soul suddenly shrank back into his body.

The devices attached to the body were all ejected.

Qin Song looked up again, but could no longer see those figures.

Confused, everyone looked up and saw only an ordinary laboratory ceiling with nothing but instruments.

Bai Yuekui asked, "What did you see?"

"There are several figures."

The words "higher-dimensional life" immediately flashed through Bai Yuekui's mind!

Chapter 125 Can't you just tell me a lie?

Her expression immediately turned serious.

According to the records of the artificial intelligence ASH before the apocalypse, her father, Bai Jingyu, had his consciousness enter a higher dimension during his suicide attempt, where he discovered some strange higher-dimensional life.

After ASH copied Bai Jingyu's consciousness into a robot, he began to accelerate the human immortality project.

Then the apocalypse broke out.

Qin Song was also pondering what those figures were.

It seems that the figure was merely a representation, something the other party wanted him to see.

He glanced at the system panel and his mental strength had surged to 3600 points again.

A tiny crack appeared in the wound on the body. No blood flowed out, but black energy flickered continuously.

Qin Song frowned. If this continued, he would lose control.

Bai Yuekui walked up to Qin Song and gave him a deep look. "Perhaps I'm wrong. Your injuries weren't caused by a King-level Devouring Beast, but by the Soul Storage Jar."

"A soul storage jar?" Qin Song feigned confusion.

"Although I don't know what you encountered inside, it must have come into contact with you, but you just can't remember it."

"Boss, are you referring to the remnant soul of the skull?" Xia Tianlai asked.

Bai Yuekui nodded.

Song Qing's mental strength was so formidable that she couldn't think of anyone else besides Lu Sheng.

Xia Tianlai and the others were greatly surprised. Over the years, there had been many people who had entered the Soul Storage Jar to receive guidance, but no one had ever discovered the remnant soul of the skull, let alone received guidance from the skull.

Bai Yuekui pondered for a moment, "Perhaps your mental strength is too strong, causing your body to be unable to withstand it. There is only one way we can try now."

"any solution?"

Bai Yuekui took out a vial of golden potion. "This is the Angel Potion. In addition to granting immortality, it can also greatly enhance physical strength."

"Although it has been improved several times, the side effects of the potion are still a mystery, which is why I haven't let the people of Dragonbone Village use it."

Qin Song took the medicine and pocketed it.

Don't worry about whether it works or not, just get it first. If all else fails, you can try injection.

Bai Yuekui walked out of the laboratory, "Continue trying to activate Mark's potential."

Xia Tian hurriedly said, "Boss, Mark failed to activate it last time and already owes 800 crystal coins. If it weren't for the chip that the Fifth Squad brought back last time, the equipment probably wouldn't be able to run for a long time..."

"Try again, and if it doesn't work, I'll think of something else."

Just as Qin Song was about to leave, he suddenly felt someone tug at his clothes from behind.
