Chapter 421 - Getting Stronger From All Sides (1/2)

This familiar but unfamiliar picture caused goosebumps to break out on Meng Chao’s skin.

He widened his eyes and tried his best to see the X-shaped picture clearly as well as the person holding the surgical knife.

But he could only see a pair of profound eyes that looked like they belonged to a supernatural being through the goggles.

Immediately after, this memory became blurry.

No matter how much Meng Chao struggled, he could not break free from being devoured by the memory vortex.

“Meng Chao!”

In his daze, he heard someone calling him.

The voices seemed to belong to his tutoress Griffin Li Yingzi and Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.

In fact, he could also sense a few superhuman presences that were stronger than Li Yingzi and Luo Wu.

‘Are those… Deity Realm superhumans?’

Meng Chao sighed in relief. He finally relaxed his tense nerves and allowed the comforting darkness to envelope him. He fell backward and fell into Li Yingzi’s arms when she rushed over to catch him.

Meng Chao had two dreams.

In the first dream, he turned into a Demonic Air Ripping Eye.

In the beginning, he was just a normal member of his race, and driven by instincts, he floated in the depths of Monster Mountain Range. He used the abilities he was born with to control and intimidate other monsters so that they would hunt for him.

He never thought about who he was, why he was there, or what he was doing. He just needed to float about, eat, evolve, control others, fight, reproduce, grow old, and die.

Later on, it seemed like a fierce fight happened. Dozens of other mind attack-type monsters waged war against the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes.

The war was not just limited to the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes, but also the countless monsters they controlled.

The war shocked the world and turned Monster Mountain Range into a sea of carcasses. Many Demonic Air Ripping Eyes died, but “he” was lucky enough to escape death. Among the endless mind controls and melee fights, “he” even became stronger.

After killing an innumerable number of enemies, “he” became covered in wounds, however. “His” body was mangled up, and while he was struggling for his last breath, he fainted.

When “he” woke up again, he was floating in a huge bloody lake.

The growth medium was one hundred times stickier than fresh blood. Not only did it repair and strengthen “his” body, it also forcibly injected all sorts of knowledge and memories into “his” brain. It enlightened “him” and opened the door to wisdom. “He” began to think of questions “he” might never be able to answer.

‘Who am I?

‘Where did I come from?

‘What is my mission?’

“He” did not know a single answer.

But “he” knew that humans knew the answer.

At the very least, the unique monsters that were “humans” claimed that they had this so-called “civilization” and looked like they knew the answer.

Otherwise, why would they have the right to claim that they were in control of “civilization”?

In the second dream, he was just a normal Dragon Citizen who failed his national college examination and lived a difficult but normal life.

Unfortunately, since both sides were injured badly during the Monster War and Dragon City lost most of its resources as well as its ability to exercise sovereignty over its territory and survive through internal circulation, it was forced to push its war machine to its maximum capacity and drive out of Monster Mountain Range.

It dragged him into the river of destiny. Against his will, he lifted a saber and killed countless beings. It left him drowned in blood and with his soul devoured.

He struggled for a long time in a hellish battlefield while living ignorantly. Then, the apocalypse arrived, and he finally realized that he and Dragon City had both walked down a path destined for destruction.

It was just like how the Demonic Abyss Eye and monster civilization from decades ago walked down the path of destruction as well.

The two dreams appeared one after another.

They were different, but subtly connected.

One of them was like a person standing beside him in front of a black lake, and the other was a blurry, distorted reflection of him in the water.

At the end of both dreams, Meng Chao saw a mysterious and unfathomable picture: Two long and narrow eyes intersecting with each other to form an “X”. Their only pupil shone with an unfathomable light as if it could see through the human soul.

Meng Chao had seen countless monstrous and fearsome monsters.

He had also gone through all sorts of extreme and terrifying things.

But he felt that there was nothing more bizarre than the X-shaped eye.

He woke up covered in cold sweat and found that he was lying in a huge medical cabin.

No, instead of saying that it was a medical cabin, it would be better to say that it was a mini indoor swimming pool filled with gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid.

The gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid were filled with materials from Hell Beasts and even Apocalyptic Beasts. Spirit energy spilled out of them, and a strong fragrance wafted into his nose. Before he even took the initiative to suck it in, it charged into his orifices and pores.

Meng Chao could be considered a frequent visitor of medical facilities.

Ever since he awakened to supernatural powers, he often ended up exhausted and heavily wounded. Then, he would have strange dreams and wake up comfortably in a medical cabin.

Still, this was undoubtedly the most comfortable experience he had waking up.

He stretched his back and sensed no pain. Instead, he felt that all his cells were filled with so much power that he was about to pop like popcorn.

With a thought, he could clearly analyze the dozens of monster materials and rare crystals contained in the medical fluid.
