Zhang Bin and Zhao Dawei felt a violent shiver run down their spines, fear painted across their faces. They could only imagine what a terrifying disaster that must have been. With a population of ten billion reduced to a mere ten million, it was a near-total annihilation—a true bloodbath.

The Mechanical Warrior continued, "However, not many demons survived, either. Just over a thousand remained, all of them super powerful SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers, powerful to a Heaven-Destroying, Earth-Extinguishing degree."

"What? SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers? Over a thousand of them?" Zhang Bin was dumbstruck and completely floored. What an unimaginably terrifying force that must be.

"How is that possible? How could there be so many SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers?" Zhao Dawei shouted in shock from outside.

"The war between the Xingyue people and the demons lasted for a thousand years," the Mechanical Warrior explained. "The demons would capture humans and perform Genetic Enhancements on them to increase their own numbers. Moreover, they could breed even more powerful demons. It was difficult to produce SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers through genetic enhancement alone. However, their offspring could evolve faster and become stronger by consuming human flesh and drinking human blood daily. This gave them a one-in-ten-thousand chance of evolving into an SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancer. Therefore, it's not surprising that so many appeared. With that, the Xingyue civilization was severed. Even High Priest Madisha became a captive."

The Mechanical Warrior gave Zhang Bin a deep look and continued, "Madisha was also a great scientist. After she was taken captive, she told the demons she could make them even stronger—strong enough to traverse the Void and reach the Immortal Realm."

"The Immortal Realm? Does that really exist?" Zhang Bin, who had been listening dumbly, asked in disbelief.

"The Immortal Realm exists. One can ascend to it by cultivating to the point where they can shatter space," the Mechanical Warrior said. "Of course, that's what Madisha told us. I don't know if it's true."

He immediately continued, "The demons were ecstatic and allowed Madisha to conduct experiments right away. Indeed, Madisha used a special method here in the second layer of the base to perform another Genetic Enhancement on a demon, making it even stronger. Madisha said that once he adapted to his new power, he would only need to be enhanced a few more times before he could shatter the Void and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

The biologist from China muttered, "Absurd," clearly not buying the Mechanical Warrior's words.

The Mechanical Warrior continued, seemingly oblivious, "The other demons were instantly excited and demanded Madisha perform another Genetic Enhancement on them as well. Madisha then led them into the second layer of the base, and they never came out again. We have been here ever since, guarding this entrance and preventing anyone from entering. Otherwise, the demons will get out."

"Then how did your Xingyue people go extinct?" Zhang Bin asked in astonishment. "There were still ten million left, right? Couldn't they have survived?"

"The war was so horrific that it caused severe pollution and radiation. As a result, most people died from illness, and the few who survived lost their ability to reproduce. That is how the Xingyue people went extinct. Even Madisha was gravely ill. We don't know if she is still alive now," the Mechanical Warrior explained.

"Even if she wasn't gravely ill, she would certainly be dead after 2.3 billion years, her bones turned to ash," Zhang Bin sighed. "The same goes for those demons. Surely not a single one of them still exists."

"No, no, no, you are wrong. Before Madisha left, she told us that she would not die and that she was waiting for you, Zhang Bin, the Divine Doctor, to come and save her. The demons haven't died either; they are waiting for you to come and kill them," the Mechanical Warrior said. "That is because the second layer is a miraculous world of ice, where they might all be frozen. With the right methods, they could be revived. No, no... just by opening the entrance to the second layer, they will awaken."

"I think it's best to let them continue their slumber," Zhang Bin said, his scalp tingling. He wished he could leave right away.

Any thought of entering the second layer to treasure-hunt had already vanished into thin air. After all, if he entered, those thousand demons would awaken. That would be a disaster for humanity; not a single person would survive. They would all be devoured.

"Are you refusing to save Madisha?" the Mechanical Warrior grew angry. "I'm telling you, today you will save her, whether you want to or not. Otherwise, we will deal with you harshly."

The other Mechanical Warriors also became menacing, looking as if they would kill Zhang Bin if he refused.

"Didn't Madisha make any special arrangements?" Zhang Bin asked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Who did I piss off to end up being threatened by a bunch of robots? He believed that if Madisha had foreseen his arrival with her prescient Special Ability, she must have made some kind of plan. Being asked to enter the second layer to save someone now was the same as being sent to his death. Madisha would never make such an unwise move. His eyes darted about as he asked his question tentatively.

"Special arrangements? Of course, there are. Come with me." After speaking, the Mechanical Warrior walked over to the Crystal Coffin.

Zhang Bin, however, did not follow. "First, tell me what her special arrangement is," he asked warily.

He had no desire to blindly open the entrance to the second layer. That would bring about the end of the world, and he would become a sinner for the ages.

"Madisha wants you to meet this beauty, and then she will tell you what to do," the Mechanical Warrior said, pointing to the coffin.

"Meet the beautiful corpse? What's the point?" Zhang Bin was puzzled, but he still walked over and gazed intently at the beautiful woman's body inside the Crystal Coffin.

This time, he could see her perfectly, infinitely more clearly than the image on the computer screen from before.

Her skin was whiter than snow, emitting a faint, white light that made her appear incredibly sacred and holy.

She had long, black hair, darker than ink, that cascaded down like a black waterfall.

She had a face that seemed to look down upon the world, with large eyes, delicate eyebrows, and a high-bridged nose.

Such beautiful features combined to create an utterly breathtaking image that was profoundly beautiful and enchanting. His gaze was firmly captured, and he found it impossible to look away.

She is an absolute femme fatale, a beauty capable of bringing nations to ruin. Only the beautiful woman from my wet dream about Xiao Qian could compare. It seems... it seems I've seen her in my dreams before. Who is she? Is she really a beauty from 2.3 billion years ago? Zhang Bin screamed in disbelief inside his mind. A feverish light shone from his eyes, and his heart began to thump wildly, POUND, POUND, POUND, nearly leaping out of his chest.

"She is not dead. If you are willing, you can bring her back to life," the Mechanical Warrior said, his words like a bolt from the blue.
