The Ultimate Vision of the Treasure Refining Art, the Great Sage Leaves the Milky Way!

Chu Yang did not dwell too much on Ge Xiaolun. He had already passed messages to both Rose and Yan. No matter what Ge Xiaolun chose, it would not affect his future growth or Chu Yang’s plans.

Night fell. Tianhe City, villa.

Chu Yang sat on the sofa while Qi Lin leaned against his chest. Dressed in a spaghetti-strap nightgown, her smooth, pale calves rested on the armrest and swayed back and forth as she held a bag of chips.

A sweet romance drama played on the television, and Qi Lin’s face was filled with contentment.

After experiencing the cruelty of war, people often cherished moments of warmth all the more.

As Chu Yang watched TV and pondered various matters, he suddenly asked, "How is Ge Xiaolun’s Void Controller construction coming along?"

Qi Lin tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "There should have been major progress. Zhixin has been acting like she’s on a stimulant every day. I’ve never even seen her this happy when she’s with Zhao Xin…"

Clearly, she could not understand a scholar’s obsession with a technological breakthrough.

Chu Yang nodded. "In a while, I plan to help you upgrade your super gene again. This time, it’ll be a complete gene. It’ll bring a huge improvement, though it’ll also put some strain on your body."

"But once it succeeds, it’ll open your Gene Lock in one go and upgrade your body into a Third Generation God Body."

"A Third Generation God Body?" Qi Lin’s eyes lit up. "Like Xiaolun’s?"

Chu Yang nodded, then shook his head. "Though they’re both Third Generation God Bodies, your genetic limit has already surpassed the Galaxy Force, so you’ll be a little stronger than him. The Lielang Civilization has the relevant technology. I’ll talk to them later."

Qi Lin nodded vaguely. She did not know much about such matters and merely shrugged. "It doesn’t really matter whether I’m strong or not. You’ll protect me anyway!"

Chu Yang pinched her cheek and shook his head with a laugh.

Soul Palace. Super God Chu Yang emerged from Nebula, looked at everyone busily working, and clapped his hands.

"Brothers! Good news!"

Hearing him, everyone looked up at once, stopped what they were doing, and gathered together.

Xianxia Chu Yang spoke first. "Hold on, we’ve got good news too!"

"Oh?" Super God Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Great Ming Chu Yang said with a smile, "The providence absorbed by the Dragon Vein has reached saturation. It’s currently being refined in the One Piece world. Before long, it’ll fully merge into our spine!"

"And we discovered that after refining the Dragon Vein, the Refining Treasure Sutra can reach major completion!"

"However, to truly perfect it, we still need to fuse treasures no weaker than a saturated Dragon Vein into several key areas."

Super God Chu Yang’s eyes brightened. They had been taking the Dragon Vein through different worlds to absorb providence, waiting for it to reach saturation so they could maximize the gains.

He had thought the process would take some more time, but it had actually been completed ahead of schedule.

"Which areas?" Super God Chu Yang asked thoughtfully.

The treasures in each world had nearly all been plucked clean. Finding more treasures on the same level as a saturated Dragon Vein would be difficult.

Magic Chu Yang said, "The leg bones, arm bones, and most importantly, the frontal bone!"

Super God Chu Yang nodded, then said hesitantly, "I’ve been wondering whether we could use the Refining Treasure Sutra to fuse a Celestial Computer with the physical body."

His words instantly silenced the room. Everyone fell into quiet contemplation.

A Celestial Computer was the pinnacle of technology, but it could not really be considered a treasure containing special power.

Its most valuable aspects were its data and computational power. Without those, even if it were refined into the physical body, it would be no different from scrap metal.

"The Big Clock definitely won’t work. Even a Void Controller can’t do it…" Marvel Chu Yang rejected the idea.

Hokage Chu Yang thought for a moment and said, "What if we gave the Celestial Computer a different vessel?"

"For example, using some kind of soul treasure as the core to construct a unique Celestial Computer!"

Magic Chu Yang looked thoughtful. "Theoretically, it is indeed somewhat feasible. With a soul treasure as a safeguard, even failure wouldn’t result in any loss."

"But a soul treasure like that would be hard to find…"

Super God Chu Yang smiled. "We can take it slow. Jarvis is still only a low-end Celestial Computer for now."

"Once I get hold of the core technology of the Sacred Knowledge Vault and the Big Clock, I’ll combine them with Ge Xiaolun’s Void Controller and first create an unprecedented Universe-level computer!"

Everyone nodded. Jujutsu Chu Yang suddenly asked, "Didn’t you say you had good news?"

Super God Chu Yang smiled and nodded. He then shared the information with everyone and took out a vial containing the complete Angel Gene.

Magic Chu Yang said, "With this data, we’ll be able to upgrade Jarvis soon!"

"The Dream Gene can be added to the God River Gene Chain!"

"After this extension, we’ll be able to select the final sequence best suited to the God River Gene Chain!"

"What about the De Nuo Gene Chain?" Super God Chu Yang asked.

After fusing Brother Monkey’s gene, the De Nuo Gene Chain, with its six added sequences, had already begun to touch the threshold of the Ultimate Gene.

Chu Yang had acquired the Angel Gene precisely so it could serve as the final sequence of the De Nuo Gene Chain.

Once the De Nuo Gene Chain extended into an Ultimate Gene, Chu Yang could extract Su Xiaoli’s genes and become a true super soldier.

Or rather… a god!

"There are still some technical difficulties, but now that we have complete genetic technology, overcoming them is only a matter of time." Marvel Chu Yang smiled confidently.

Super God Chu Yang stretched lazily. "Now we just wait for Carl to create a Fifth Generation God-Body using that little lab rat, Hua Ye. Then we can explore the secrets of the void."

Xianxia Chu Yang reminded him, "I’ve always felt that Carl’s Ultimate Fear isn’t empty talk. The destruction of those cosmic civilizations a hundred thousand years ago was likely truly connected to the void."

"You should be careful, or you might capsize in a ditch!"

Super God Chu Yang nodded. "Once Hua Ye makes his comeback, Yan will come looking for me soon enough. When that happens, I’ll make a trip to the Shadow World."

"I should be able to find some traces of the void there."

Super God World, Earth, City of the North Star.

Sitting on the sofa, Chu Yang looked at the wrecked living room, then through the window at the equally chaotic courtyard. He rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Tell me. What happened?"

He looked up at the two people before him, his face full of helplessness.

In front of him, Su Xiaoli wore an aggrieved expression, while Brother Monkey, looking thoroughly frustrated, stood nearby with his staff in his arms.

Come to think of it, this was partly Chu Yang’s own fault. He had been busy with matters concerning the Void Battlefield lately and had forgotten all about Sun Wukong.

The reason Sun Wukong had suddenly disappeared after the Tianhe Battle was because of the Su Xiaoli in his memories.

Sun Wukong had originally been a super gene slumbering within myth. Teacher Wu had secretly implanted memories of Ali—Su Xiaoli’s "ancestor" from a thousand years ago—into his genetic code.

She was called an ancestor, but Su Xiaoli and Ali had actually lived in the same era. It was only because the inheritance had continued down the line that only her branch remained.

Although Su Xiaoli had yet to upgrade into a God Body, she possessed combat power comparable to a Third Generation God Body. With Chu Yang helping conceal her aura, Sun Wukong had never been able to find her.

It was not until today that Sun Wukong discovered some information about Su Xiaoli at an entertainment company in the City of the North Star, followed the trail, and found this courtyard residence.

Seeing this person who had broken in illegally and looked nothing like a normal human, Su Xiaoli immediately attacked him.

She knew little about the Super Soldier Company. Or rather, most Earthlings had only heard the names Super Soldier Company and Black Armor. Only people in the military knew much about them.

Thus, in Su Xiaoli’s eyes, since angels and demons were both aliens, the legendary Great Sage Equaling Heaven was probably one as well.

Fortunately, Chu Yang sensed the enormous dark energy fluctuations and rushed over in advance. He told Du Kao it was merely a minor issue, preventing the situation from escalating.

"He suddenly broke in and asked whether I knew him!"

Su Xiaoli pointed at Sun Wukong and said angrily, "He obviously looks like an alien!"

Sun Wukong glared. "I, Old Sun, have bled for Earth. How did I become an alien?"

"For old times’ sake, I can’t be bothered to argue with you!"

Su Xiaoli wanted to say more, but Chu Yang raised a hand to stop her and said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, Xiaoli’s situation is rather complicated. Her genetic code has been altered, so she probably can’t remember what happened back then…"

Brother Monkey waved his hand. "Fine! Since she’s by your side, I, Old Sun, can rest easy!"

"After all these years, not many of my old friends remain…"

As he spoke, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and his expression became somewhat lonely.

He had protected Earth for many years and once had comrades who fought alongside him, but most had been swallowed by the river of time.

Other than a few people led by Du Kao, immigrants from the Deno Star System, the only one still alive was Su Xiaoli.

Ali had been Sun Wukong’s lover back then, while Su Xiaoli had been one of the comrades who had fought beside him the longest.

But now, all things had changed. Under the influence of the De Nuo Gene Chain, Su Xiaoli’s former Sprite Gene had gradually faded, and the memories hidden in her genetic code had vanished with it.

Chu Yang suddenly smiled. "Brother Monkey, since you’re here, how about giving me some more blood?"

Sun Wukong’s mouth twitched. He said irritably, "I, Old Sun, am the Victorious Fighting Buddha, after all! Why are you thinking about drawing blood the moment we meet?"

Chu Yang curled his lip. "Your God Body and beast body have both reached their peaks, right? Your genes have evolved further too. With enough technical support, you can upgrade into a Fourth Generation God Body at any time, as well as an unprecedented Fourth Generation beast body!"

Sun Wukong scratched his head and suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

Chu Yang was right. The reason for all these changes was the special vial Chu Yang had provided back then.

It was Limit Substance. Chu Yang had Du Kao implant it into every member of the Super Soldier Company, but most of them did not know its source or purpose and did not think much of it.

Their Gene Locks had not yet opened, and they were still far from reaching the limits of their own super genes.

Only Sun Wukong and Leina had noticed the key issue and learned from Du Kao that this substance came from Chu Yang.

Only then did Su Xiaoli realize what was going on. She blinked and asked, "You… know each other?"

Chu Yang waved his hand. "We’re on the same side. Brother Monkey is the real Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Back then, he single-handedly drove back an alien civilization to protect Earth!"

This time, it was Su Xiaoli’s turn to feel awkward. She stuck out her tongue sheepishly.

"Go buy some groceries. Brother Monkey is eating at home tonight." Chu Yang gestured for Su Xiaoli to leave first.

Understanding his meaning, Su Xiaoli went upstairs to change clothes before preparing to head out.

Sun Wukong suddenly said, "I, Old Sun, eat vegetarian!"

Su Xiaoli answered and pushed open the door to leave.

A short while later, in the courtyard that had already been restored to its original state.

Chu Yang and Sun Wukong, who had taken on a human appearance and changed into casual clothes, each reclined in a wicker chair.

Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, Chu Yang softly asked, "Brother Monkey, what are your plans next?"

Sun Wukong said comfortably, "Travel the mortal world. As Master put it, cultivate amid worldly life!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Yang and added, "I’ve already heard Old Du talk about the War Edicts. You’ve done better than I have. This is a once-and-for-all solution."

Chu Yang suddenly asked again, "Have you ever considered leaving Earth and wandering around the universe?"

"Where would I go?" Brother Monkey asked in return. "Earth is where I, Old Sun, have my roots. I would never dare forget Master’s teachings."

Chu Yang said meaningfully, "The universe is about to fall into chaos, and Earth won’t be able to stay untouched."

"If even you can do nothing, what can I, Old Sun, possibly do? At worst, I’ll fight to the death!" Sun Wukong was exceptionally carefree.

Chu Yang became serious. "Brother Monkey, I want to ask you to make a trip to the Shadow World. There are clues there about the source of the disaster, but you don’t need to get involved in the conflict between Carl and the Angel Civilization."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then nodded. "Since it concerns Earth, I, Old Sun, will make the trip. But…"

He paused slightly, then changed the subject. "If something happens to me in the Shadow World, you must bring my remains back!"

"Fallen leaves return to their roots. Bury me beside Master."

Chu Yang looked speechless. "It’s not that serious. In the Known Universe, there are only a few people capable of threatening you."

"But keep an eye out for Hua Ye. Carl is behind him. If you run into him, don’t confront him head-on."

"I remember Old Du mentioning that man…" Sun Wukong recalled. "Wasn’t he the king of angels during the male era, tens of thousands of years ago?"

Chu Yang smiled. "That’s him. I nearly killed him at the War Council. If he learns you’re from Earth, he’ll definitely cause trouble."

"Carl has always been studying the void. The crisis about to engulf the entire universe also comes from the void. The Shadow World is connected to the void. If you find traces of it there, bring back whatever you can."

"To solve the problem at its root, we have to start with the void."

Sun Wukong sat up from his wicker chair and picked up the Dark Alloy Staff beside him. Black Armor attached itself to his body inch by inch, restoring him to the form of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"You’re leaving now? You’re not staying for dinner?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Sun Wukong burst into laughter and turned into a streak of light that shot into the heavens, his voice rolling outward.

"When I, Old Sun, return, we’ll have that victory feast!"

Su Xiaoli happened to walk into the courtyard residence. She looked at Sun Wukong, who had vanished in the blink of an eye, then at the bags in her hands. Feeling that all her effort had been for nothing, she ground her teeth in frustration.
