Chapter 17 (2/2)

Bang! Dozens of black blades formed a cyclone of blades, forcing Professor Zhuang all the way to the wall, letting out a deafening thump.

“Earth may yield…”

Boom!

Threads of golden light hovered from Professor Zhuang’s body. The hair on his head turned into golden animal fur, and a tail grew out from the end of his spine.

The next moment, he broke through the surrounding black blades, and once again stood in front of Zhou Bai, cutting off the black blades that shot towards Zhou Bai.

“But humans will never surrender.”

Then, Zhou Bai saw Professor Zhuang staring at the torrents of black blade rain and a golden silhouette that crashed into the Mara, pressing its head against the wall with a single hand.

“Zhou Bai, this is my final lesson: live on, no matter how lowly, how afraid, how hopeless…live on.”

“Primordial spirit self-explosion?” The Mara watched Professor Zhuang with resentment, “And demon…ification….”

Golden flames flared from Professor Zhuang’s body. The Mara’s snake body struggled wildly. Black blades penetrated Professor Zhuang’s body, but it couldn’t escape his constraint.

Professor Zhuang: “As the last human, don’t let our civilization end here….”

The next moment, blinding golden flames filled Zhou Bai’s entire vision. It spread towards the laboratory, level 4, level 3, level 2, engulfing the entire base.

The golden flames burned down everything in the base. When the fire finally died down, Professor Zhuang and Mara’s bodies were already nowhere to be found.

Zhou Bai was already heavily injured. He passed out on the ground.

…

When Zhou Bai came to, the entire base had almost been completely destroyed. Only he and the children around him weren’t burnt at all. Clearly, Professor Zhuang controlled it intentionally.

‘What should I do now…”

His entire body ached, he couldn’t move a single muscle.

Zhou Bai had no choice but to rest for a while and try again after he recovered a bit.

Half an hour later, Zhou Bai tried using his primordial spirit power to prop his body up little by little. He sat upon the ground.

In this process, he felt like something had been placed on his chest.

He opened it and saw it looked like a little book.

Zhou Bai’s vision focused, “Who put it here? Could it be Professor Zhuang?”

Zhou Bai asked in his mind, “Christina, do you know?”

“Professor Zhuang might have given it to you secretly during battle. He’s quite strong, so it’s not difficult for him to do something like this.”

Zhou Bai continued reading what he saw were pages of a diary.

But the entire diary had many sections that were torn off or crossed out.

…

The atmosphere in the base is getting more and more oppressive. There seems to be something watching me in the dark. Jack started talking in his sleep. I told him not to tell the others. I’m worried about his condition.

I don’t know if our direction is right or wrong. May Paradise bless and protect us.

–A lot of crossing out.

Our research continues. Li Zhengdao has lost his mind, and we can only shut him in solitary confinement. He talks loudly in a language no one can understand. We’re all very dejected. Perhaps our method was really wrong.

I’m a little worried about him. I hope he will be okay.

–Consecutive missing pages.

Ever since I stopped sleeping, I’ve never heard the muttering again. Perhaps this method is correct. I should tell others to do it.
