Chapter 71: Rebirth

The live stream screen flickered, and Tang Yun's phantom stepped out from a leaf that was being devoured.

He looked exhausted, his figure rippling like water, ready to collapse at any moment.

"Damn it, the time for manifestation is getting shorter and shorter..."

Tang Yun cursed in a low voice, Chaos Medical Qi flowing at his fingertips, but it dissipated rapidly like a leaking balloon.

For every minute he manifested, his body's transparency would increase by 1%, like a phantom being erased.

His gaze swept over the scene before him: the third cantilever of the Gene Tree, the branch representing the "Mechanical Bee Swarm Civilization," was withering rapidly, the leaves twisting like melted wax, with black turbulent code flowing over them.

"I have to stop it..." Tang Yun gritted his teeth, forcibly condensing medical Qi, trying to construct gene shackles to bind the Devourers.

However, as soon as the medical Qi took form, it was torn apart by a black code claw.

The owner of the claw was none other than a black figure exactly like Tang Yun, only his eyes were flowing with crazy turbulent code, like the scene when the First Generation Medicine King collapsed.

"We are the dark side you abandoned, Tang Yun!"

The Devourer let out a sharp, ear-piercing sound, every word like the screeching of code, "You think you can get rid of us? You think you can control everything?"

Tang Yun's expression was gloomy; he recognized this power—it was the genetic fragments that escaped from the First Generation Medicine King's body when he crushed him in the code world. It was the First Generation Medicine King's longing for freedom, and also his fear of being controlled.

These negative emotions intertwined with the chaos of the code world, eventually forming these Chaotic Devourers.

"Shut up!" Tang Yun roared, condensing medical Qi again, but his body's transparency had already exceeded 50%, and the medical Qi had become like thin mist, unable to pose any threat to the Devourers at all.

Just at this moment, in the Taixu Divine Temple, Lin Xiyue bit her fingertip and dripped the Holy Maiden's blood onto the Taixu Resonance Array in the center of the temple.

"In the name of the Holy Maiden, activate Taixu Resonance!"

Lin Xiyue's voice echoed in the temple, and the resonance array emitted a dazzling light, connecting to the global live stream signal, transforming the faith power of countless viewers into substantial light chains, like chains that trapped the Devourers.

"Tang Yun! Hurry!" Lin Xiyue's voice reached Tang Yun's ears through the live stream.

Tang Yun seized the opportunity and, while the Devourers were trapped, dived into the roots of the Gene Tree.

Deep in the roots, a black sphere was frantically absorbing the energy of the Gene Tree, and the code Tang Yun was familiar with flashed on the surface of the sphere—it was his own genetic fragments!

"So that's how it is..." A flash of realization crossed Tang Yun's eyes; the core of the Devourers was actually a part of himself.

He reached out and touched the black sphere. A powerful suction force came, as if it wanted to swallow him inside.

Tang Yun did not resist, letting this force pull him into the interior of the sphere.

Inside the sphere was a chaotic world, with countless fragments of code like dancing fireflies, flashing with strange light.

A voice rang out in his ear: "Welcome back, Tang Yun. Or rather... welcome home."

Tang Yun looked up and saw a figure exactly like himself standing before him, a strange smile on his face.

"You are..."

"I am you, and also a part of you." The figure said, "I am the darkness deep in your heart, the fear you have always wanted to escape."

Tang Yun was silent.

He knew that what this figure said was true. He had always been escaping his past, escaping the mistakes he had made in the code world.

"Now, you have nowhere to escape."

The figure continued.

"You will merge with me and become the true Chaos God."

Tang Yun took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"You're wrong." Tang Yun said, "I will not escape, nor will I submit. I will defeat you and regain control of my own destiny."

He reached out, Chaos Medical Qi condensing in his palm, transforming into a sharp blade.

"Come on, let me see just how powerful you are."

"So I am the root..." Tang Yun whispered, not swinging the blade, but instead merging the Chaos Medical Qi in his palm into the black sphere.

This action stunned the "Dark Tang Yun" opposite him, a trace of human-like doubt flashing across his code-composed face. The moment his transparent palm touched the sphere, it actually began to solidify, and the Chaos Medical Qi surged at a speed visible to the naked eye, its concentration far exceeding any time before.

Tang Yun raised his hand and gripped, and the Devourers, who had been aggressive and frantically decomposing the galaxy, shattered into pieces like fragile glass, turning into pure turbulent code, sucked into the vortex in his palm.

"No! This is impossible!" Dark Tang Yun let out a desperate roar, his code body twisting violently, seemingly wanting to escape, but like falling into a quagmire, unable to move.

However, just before the Devourers were completely extinguished, countless images flashed through Tang Yun's mind—countless parallel universes, countless versions of himself.

In those universes, some became dictators, ruling over everything;

Some became saviors, revered by ten thousand people;

Some died in obscurity...

Every image was incomparably real, as if he had experienced it himself. These images were a part of the Observer's "Universe Collection," the final destination of countless possibilities.

Tang Yun understood that the Observer was not trying to destroy the universe, but to collect all possible futures.

And he, Tang Yun, was the intersection point of all these possibilities, the root of all these futures.

The Devourers were completely extinguished, and Dark Tang Yun also vanished into thin air.

Tang Yun's body completely solidified, Chaos Medical Qi circling around him, like a god descending to the world.

At this time, in the live stream screen, the leader of the Mechanical Bee Swarm—a massive metal sphere—was trembling and sending a message to Tang Yun: "Can we... can we still evolve?"

Tang Yun's phantom shattered the void and appeared in the starry sky. He extended his finger and wrote a few golden, shining characters in the void: "The end of evolution is the possibility of free growth."

These characters were like the maxims of the universe, instantly spreading to the monitoring screens of all civilizations.

The metal core of the Mechanical Bee Swarm, at this moment, actually gave birth to self-consciousness, letting out a crisp cry, like the weeping of an infant, and like the joy of a newborn.

On the leaves of the Gene Tree, Tang Yun's phantom appeared in a substantial form for the first time.

He casually plucked a withered yellow leaf and blew on it lightly, and the withered leaf instantly turned into powder.

And at the same time, the gene chains of the entire galaxy regained their vitality, the withered planets bloomed with green life again, and the dead galaxy was filled with vitality once more.

In the live stream room, gift effects flooded in like a tide, and the words "Medicine God Reborn" almost covered the entire screen. ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
