Chapter 79: Boring

In the darkness, Lin Xiyue felt as if she were in the cold vacuum of the universe, the sense of suffocation tightly gripping her throat.

Tang Yun's voice echoed around her like a ghost, carrying mockery and teasing.

"You think I would let you die so easily? No, no, that would be too boring."

Tang Yun's voice had a metallic texture, as if issued from countless speakers at the same time, or as if ringing directly in her mind.

"I want you to watch with your own eyes, watch how your world, your friends, your... lover, are destroyed by me bit by bit."

Lin Xiyue's heart sank abruptly, Tang Yun's words like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into her heart.

She thought of the Holy Son, thought of the people struggling in the main universe, and a sense of despair surged in her heart.

"Tang Yun, you... you lunatic!" Lin Xiyue roared, her voice appearing exceptionally powerless in the empty darkness.

"Lunatic? Perhaps." Tang Yun's voice carried a trace of madness, "But only a lunatic can create a new world!"

Suddenly, a point of light appeared in the darkness, and the light point expanded rapidly, eventually turning into a massive screen. On the screen, the scene of the main universe was playing.

Lin Xiyue recognized at a glance that it was Earth, her home. But at this moment, the Earth was already unrecognizable.

In the sky, a massive black vortex covered the sky and sun, countless black lightning bolts shuttling within, as if the end of the world had arrived.

On the ground, cities turned into ruins, flames lit up the sky, people fled everywhere, and the sounds of crying and screaming were endless.

Lin Xiyue's heart felt as if it were tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, the pain making her almost unable to breathe.

"Do you see? This is your world, the world about to be destroyed by me."

Tang Yun's voice rang in her ear, carrying a trace of cruel pleasure, "And you, you can't do anything."

The scene on the screen switched to the Evolution Academy, where the Holy Son was leading the survivors to resist the attack of the dark creatures.

He was covered in blood, his eyes filled with despair and indignation.

"Holy Son..." Lin Xiyue whispered, tears sliding down silently.

Tang Yun's laughter echoed in the darkness: "Holy Son, he really is tenacious. However, he will soon understand that resistance is futile."

The scene switched again, and this time what appeared on the screen was a massive mechanical city.

In the center of the city, a high-reaching altar radiated strange light.

"That is... the First Generation Medicine King's code altar!"

Lin Xiyue recognized that altar, her heart filled with shock and fear.

"That's right, this is my masterpiece." Tang Yun's voice was filled with pride, "I fused my gene chain with the altar and obtained unprecedented power. Now, I am a god!"

Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun's figure on the screen; he was covered in metal, with countless mechanical tentacles extending from his back, like a demon from hell.

His pupils had become flickering turbulent code, cold and ruthless.

"Tang Yun... you... you are no longer human..." Lin Xiyue said tremblingly.

"Human? What is worth lingering on about such weak creatures?" Tang Yun's tone was filled with disdain, "I have already transcended the limits of humanity and evolved into a higher-level life form!"

He extended a mechanical tentacle, tapped the Earth on the screen lightly, his tone cold: "Now, the game begins."

On Earth, at the center of the black vortex, a massive beam of light suddenly appeared, shooting straight into the clouds.

In the beam of light, a massive mechanical figure slowly emerged. That figure was exactly the same as Tang Yun on the screen, only larger and more terrifying.

"Tremble, mortals!" Tang Yun's voice resounded through heaven and earth, "What greets you... is destruction!"

Lin Xiyue closed her eyes in despair. Tang Yun, the once gentle teenager, had now become a cold and ruthless monster.

"No! I won't let you succeed!" Lin Xiyue opened her eyes abruptly, her eyes filled with determination.

She bit her finger, and blood dripped onto the altar, the ancient runes instantly lighting up with dazzling light.

"Holy Maiden Purification Formation!" Lin Xiyue's voice echoed in the darkness, carrying a trace of tragedy.

This was her last trump card, using her own Holy Maiden bloodline as a guide to purify all darkness.

Dazzling white light enveloped Lin Xiyue, her hair turned white instantly, and her body became transparent, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Xiyue!" The Holy Son on the screen saw this scene, his eyes splitting, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

However, the white light did not purify Tang Yun, but was instead absorbed by him.

Tang Yun's body radiated even more dazzling light, his mechanical tentacles dancing crazily, as if celebrating a rebirth.

"Hahahaha!" Tang Yun's laughter was even more insane, "Stupid Holy Maiden, you think your bloodline can purify me? You're wrong! It will only make me more powerful!"

Lin Xiyue knelt on the ground powerlessly, her eyes filled with despair: "Tang Yun... you... you cannot stop the inevitability of evolution..."

Tang Yun looked down at Lin Xiyue, his eyes cold: "Evolution? The weak are the prey of the strong, the survival of the fittest, this is the true meaning of evolution!"

Just at this moment, the Holy Son suddenly appeared on the screen. In his hand, he held a seed radiating golden light.

"Tang Yun, you're wrong!" The Holy Son's voice was filled with power, "The essence of evolution is symbiosis, not devouring!"

The Holy Son threw the seed in his hand into the air, and the seed expanded rapidly, turning into a massive golden ball of light, illuminating the entire screen.

"Light Seed!" Lin Xiyue recognized that seed; it was the last hope left behind by Tang Tian, Tang Yun's father, at the roots of the Gene Tree.

It was composed of Tang Yun's mother's genes and the pure body of Chaos Medical Qi, representing light and hope.

"No! This is impossible!" Tang Yun shouted in terror, "This seed... should have disappeared long ago!"

The Holy Son injected the Light Seed into the live stream signal, and the faith power of global viewers transformed into countless light arrows, shooting toward Tang Yun.

"Ahhh!" Tang Yun let out a painful roar, his mechanical heart shattered by the light arrows, and his body began to collapse.

Tang Yun knelt on the ground, half a golden heart beating in his chest. His eyes were confused, muttering to himself: "So... I was never truly lost..."

Just at this moment, Lin Xiyue discovered Tang Yun's memory backup on the code altar.

She opened the backup tremblingly and saw the last trace of light Tang Yun had desperately preserved when he was darkened—it was the scene of his first meeting with Lin Xiyue.

The viewers in the live stream room saw this scene and collectively broke down in tears, the faith value soaring to the peak.

And just at this moment, the core of the Light Seed cracked, and a baby's gene chain slowly emerged.

"This is... Tang Yun's gene chain?" Lin Xiyue was stunned. ===== CHAPTER 80 =====
