King of Assassins-Chapter 804 - 595: Major Incident

Outside the transparent glass chamber, concealed light sources emitted a soft glow.

Xu Fang sat in a chair next to the glass chamber, resting with her eyes closed. The curved glass slightly distorted Xu Fang's beautiful face, yet she exuded a tranquil and comforting aura.

Gao Xuan looked at Xu Fang from inside the glass chamber. Among his many girlfriends, Xu Fang was probably the most ordinary one.

But he could feel Xu Fang's affection for him—simple, ordinary, natural, yet very pure.

This ordinary and equal feeling made Gao Xuan's emotions complicated.

After meditating for a while in the nourishment chamber, Gao Xuan pressed the sensor, and the glass chamber opened silently.

Xu Fang was very perceptive, and she immediately opened her eyes. When she saw Gao Xuan, her eyes instantly brightened with genuine joy.

A big smile naturally appeared on her face: "You're awake? How do you feel?"

Xu Fang moved closer to Gao Xuan and carefully examined him, "You're even more handsome. That's great."

As she spoke, she emotionally hugged Gao Xuan. Although body enhancement surgery was very advanced, it still carried risks.

After all, the process of genetic modification and editing was very complex, and any mistake could be extremely dangerous.

Gao Xuan also hugged Xu Fang and gently said, "It's very good, really good."

Xu Fang said with concern, "Well, patient, come to my bed, and I'll give you a thorough check-up."

"Now that I've become stronger, you're the one who'll beg on the bed!"

Gao Xuan scooped Xu Fang up and the two found an empty ward, closing the door for a passionate battle.

After Gao Xuan's body adjustment, his physical strength had fundamentally increased.

Previously, his Source Power Level was only Level 6, and his body was ultimately that of ordinary flesh and blood. After the enhancement, there was a substantial improvement in his physical condition.

Muscular power, reaction speed, endurance, and even his organs had become much stronger.

Ultimately, interactions between men and women are just a kind of physical struggle. With ample energy and strength, one can win.

Before, Gao Xuan could rely on his strong Spiritual Power to win over Xu Fang. Now, pure physical strength was more than enough.

Xu Fang, who had been watching over Gao Xuan for more than twenty hours, was already tired. After several passionate encounters, she fell into a deep sleep.

Gao Xuan rested for twenty-four hours and, following the Yin Yang Balance, his mental state was optimal.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but his consciousness sank into his sea of awareness, silently visualizing his Divine Soul.

The Divine Soul was entirely a projection of his physical form, but it was entirely golden in color.

Two Rune Seeds hung like badges on the golden Divine Soul.

The Divine Soul operated the two Rune Seeds to absorb Source Power, and because of the close connection between the Rune Seeds and the Divine Soul, the Source Power purified by the Rune Seeds was more aligned with the Divine Soul.

Conversely, the ever-growing Divine Soul could enhance the power of the Rune Seeds.

This positive cycle would continue until the Rune Seeds grew into a stable foundation.

According to the current cultivation system, so-called Foundation Establishment is the stable structure formed by the Rune Seeds and the Divine Soul.

Generally speaking, this structure is the Rune Seeds forming a shell, completely enveloping the Divine Soul.

At this point, the power of the Rune Seeds is fully released, providing a stable defense for the Divine Soul. The Divine Soul can also fully activate the Rune Seeds. This is the second stage of cultivation: Foundation Establishment.

For most cultivators, Foundation Establishment is extremely difficult. Without resources or talent, it's nearly impossible to complete Foundation Establishment through sheer hard work.

At the Source Power level, Foundation Establishment is equivalent to the former Silver Sword Hero. But at the Divine Soul level, it's much stronger, with a more refined way of releasing Source Power.

In terms of combat power, the current Foundation Establishment can easily defeat ten former Silver Sword Heroes.

This is the progress of the cultivation system, resulting in a significant enhancement of human combat power.

Even though the Outer Star Realm has been overtaken by Evil Gods, overall, humanity is much stronger than it was a thousand years ago.

Gao Xuan now also realized this issue, realizing that the proliferation of Evil Gods was a complex situation, not just the simple exposure of the Alliance's spatial coordinates.

Of course, over the last thousand years, many humans have certainly become gods.

But these Evil Gods, with their current power, really can't match up against humanity now.

Regarding the Divine Crystal incident last time, Gao Xuan heard Xu Fang mention that even their family had no right to use Divine Crystals; they had to surrender them to the headquarters.

Once Divine Crystals are slightly purified, they might not breed a Divine being, but they can certainly cultivate a Golden Core.

The higher-ups of the Central Alliance seem more inclined to use the Outer Star Realm to nurture Evil Gods.

Gao Xuan had been conscious for some time, and from the information searched on the Celestial Net, the current president of the Alliance has the surname Shui. This belongs to one of the five newly-emerged Noble Families.

According to information on the Celestial Net, the five new Noble Families are those of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

It's clear that they benefited from the new cultivation system, forming entirely new families. These five families have even surpassed the original Twelve Golden Families.

The First Saint of the Holy Hall, Wood Origin, is clearly from the Mu Family.

As for Yun Qingshang, Helen, Song Yunxi, and others, their information cannot be found.

Gao Xuan isn't sure what their situation is right now.

In short, the Alliance has undergone a revolution.

But that's quite normal. There are no eternal loves that last a thousand years. Moreover, consider the magnitude of interests the Alliance holds. One can only wonder what role Nuwa played in all this.

Gao Xuan's long-standing caution is by no means paranoid.

The Holy Hall can worship the dead as Divine Emperors, but cannot tolerate this Divine Emperor coming back to life.

Gao Xuan is not discouraged either. People leave, and the tea cools. He has been gone for a thousand years, hoping the Alliance would operate according to his will is just a daydream. And even if it takes ten pounds of powerful drugs to create such a dream.

In the history of Huaxia, a dynasty typically lasted around five hundred years.

Each generation has its own ideas, its own desires, its pursuits, and its surroundings.

Gao Xuan was the founder of the new Alliance and established the cultivation system with Nuwa. He hoped for a better humanity and for human civilization to advance.

Now, it seems, human civilization has advanced. But only a part of humanity strides forward, while the majority stands still, or even regresses.

A thousand years ago, he took down major noble families, hoping to break solidified social classes.

A thousand years later, newly formed cultivation families have taken control of the Alliance and the Holy Hall.

It appears that monopolization is human nature. As a selfish life form, most people prefer to enjoy benefits alone.

Those who enjoy sharing benefits either have greater schemes or are genuinely pure-hearted. Such people are, in the end, a minority.

Upon Gao Xuan's awakening, he absorbed twenty-four years of Black Tiger's memories, giving him some expectations of the situation at the top.

During his interactions with Xu Fang, he picked up bits of information which confirmed the current state of affairs.

Gao Xuan sometimes wonders, what was all that effort a thousand years ago for?

Even if nothing had happened to him, he could not possibly watch over the Alliance forever. Human society will eventually change with human hearts and human nature. Even if his power is strong, what then?

Gao Xuan sometimes feels a bit angry, angry that Nuwa, Helen, and Qin Shiyue have deviated from his vision. They made a mess of the Alliance.

Gao Xuan has now steadied his mindset. First, he restores his power and retrieves his true body.

Then, he'll calmly talk with Nuwa and the others.

Right now, he's in no position to talk to anyone about anything!

All these chaotic thoughts flashed through Gao Xuan's mind, but he ignored them. Thinking so far ahead is useless.

Take one bite at a time, take one step at a time. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

This time is different from the last reincarnation, where he had the advantage of foresight. Naturally, he was invincible.

After a thousand years of nirvana and reincarnation, he has fallen behind this era. Especially compared to the foremost human strongmen, he must strive harder.

Gao Xuan put aside all these distractions and focused on activating the two rune seeds of earth and water.

Earth as the base, water as the tool. Earth comes to life with water.

The Thick Earth Technique and the Profound Nether Technique are originally the best combinations.

Gao Xuan completely comprehends the two rune seeds, using his Divine Soul to activate their perfect combination.

How many combinations can there be with 129,600 runes and another 129,600 runes?

No one can calculate it clearly, only a super light computer like Nuwa can. But even Nuwa can't test every combination one by one.

The most she can do is calculate a few million of the most effective combinations and through deduction, find a few of the most reasonable combinations.

Gao Xuan doesn't need to calculate these. With the purest of Spirituality in his Divine Soul, he directly lets the Thick Earth and Profound Nether rune seeds match in the most perfect way.

This perfect match is just for Gao Xuan. After all, everyone's Divine Soul state is different. The requirements for runes vary as well.

After the perfect combination of the Profound Nether and Thick Earth rune seeds, they merge into a circular shield set in the chest of Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.

The majority of this round shield is earthy yellow, heavy and profound. Surrounding the earthy yellow is flowing black water.

The black water flows ceaselessly, vertically and horizontally across the earthy yellow surface, infusing the heavy Thick Earth Power with vitality.

The perfect combination of the two rune seeds increases source power efficiency tenfold, and his Divine Soul Power rises along with it.

Gao Xuan further activates the fused rune seeds, connecting to all the source power nodes of his body and establishing a complete source power operation system with his enhanced body.

When Xu Fang opened her eyes again, Gao Xuan had completed control over his new body, completed the rune seed fusion, and further progress in his Divine Soul.

Compared to a day ago, his combat capability has nearly reached the limit on Pegasus Star.

However, in a place like Pegasus Star, personal power cannot counter technological weapons, not to mention the many experts lurking in the Holy Hall. They also have all kinds of magical artifacts.

Even so, Gao Xuan is pleased with his progress. Less than two months after regaining consciousness, he's already established a cultivation foundation.

Next, he needs to quickly acquire the other three basic techniques to complete the Five Elements Secret Technique.

It's just that the company's secret techniques have conditions for exchange. He's already used up his personal rank benefits. To exchange for more secret techniques, he needs sufficient achievement points.

What level will the perfect combination of the Five Elements Rune Seeds reach?

Gao Xuan is displeased with the new world, but he truly appreciates the cultivation system.

Technological progress and human degeneration are not contradictory.

Gao Xuan intended to rest for a day and travel to other cities with Xu Fang. But he received an urgent notice from Wei Ying and had to rush to the company.

Wei Ying, with a solemn expression, told Gao Xuan: "Something big has happened, a Paladin was attacked and killed, and his Holy Armor and Sword Box were stolen. It's rumored these items have entered the underground black market in Mingjing, and the Holy Hall has already sent people over."

She said to Gao Xuan: "You better find the items before they arrive, you understand? It's a great opportunity for both of us!"

Gao Xuan seriously replied: "I understand."
