Zhang Bin was stunned, because the beauty's hand was nothingness itself, completely intangible.

It seemed as if she didn't exist at all, as if she were just an illusory shadow.

"What... what is going on?" Zhang Bin asked, astonished.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? I am merely a 3D image created using technology, just like the people in your movies. This isn't real." A strange smile touched the beauty's lips as she spoke coquettishly. "Now, do you understand whose image I am?"

"Are you... are you the image of Madisha?"

Zhang Bin's face went pale as if he had been punched in the chest, and he staggered backward.

Just a moment ago, he had proudly promised her that he would revive her, even if it meant descending a mountain of daggers or plunging into a sea of fire.

He was a Cultivator, and one who had comprehended Heaven-Man Resonance at that; he couldn't make oaths lightly.

And since he had made an oath, he had to fulfill it.

Otherwise, his conscience would be troubled, and the cryptic rules of the universe would affect him, having a very adverse impact on his Cultivation.

"You're very clever. You finally realized that I am the image of Madisha. In fact, you can think of me as the Madisha from 2.3 billion years ago. See? Am I beautiful?" The beauty giggled as she spun around in front of Zhang Bin, fully displaying her charm.

Zhang Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was utterly frustrated, but he still couldn't help but nod and say she was very beautiful. After all, Madisha's beauty was undeniable, easily rivaling that of a Fairy from the Immortal Realm.

"You surely wouldn't have the heart to watch me remain frozen in the Second Layer. I've been waiting for you for 2.3 billion years. You won't let me down, right?" Hope and expectation filled Madisha's face.

"It's not that I don't want to save you; it's that I'm worried I lack the ability to do so. No one could bear to stand by and watch such a beautiful woman die," Zhang Bin said sincerely.

"I'm not asking you to save me now. You will have the ability to save me only when you're powerful enough to deal with an SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancer and have concocted an Elixir called the Revival Pill," Madisha said. "I've already waited 2.3 billion years; I don't mind waiting a few more decades."

Madisha actually knows about the Revival Pill? Zhang Bin was incredibly shocked because the recipe for the Revival Pill came from Xuanwu Star. It required more than a thousand medicinal ingredients, and one had to reach the Minor Tree Realm to even attempt to concoct it. Even back on Xuanwu Star in its heyday, finding all one thousand-plus ingredients was an immensely difficult task.

Earth was much smaller than Xuanwu Star, making it nearly impossible to find all the required ingredients.

How could he possibly concoct the Revival Pill?

Of course, if one could successfully concoct the Revival Pill, it could truly bring the dead back to life, provided their bodies were still intact.

"Madisha, are you mistaken? Can I really save you?"

Zhang Bin was dejected. Fulfilling such a promise was an immense challenge, and he had no confidence at all. This was a hefty burden.

"Over the past 2.3 billion years, many experts could have rescued me, but only you have the ability to cure my illness," Madisha said. "Therefore, you are the one I've been waiting for."

"Madisha, to be honest with you, in this day and age, it's impossible to find all the ingredients for the Revival Pill on Earth," Zhang Bin said.

"I have prepared a Flying Saucer for you. You can search for the ingredients in the stars," Madisha said. "As long as you work hard and never give up, you will naturally become incredibly powerful, find all the ingredients, and concoct the Revival Pill. Then you can kill all the Demons and rescue me."

Don't flatter me, Zhang Bin muttered to himself. But as he bathed in the beautiful woman's expectant gaze, his heart softened. He said seriously, "Madisha, as long as I have the ability to save you in the future, I will definitely come to your rescue."

A smile blossomed on Madisha's face, making Heaven and Earth seem brighter and warming one's very heart. "Thank you. I will definitely repay you. You will not regret today's decision."

Zhang Bin was completely dazzled, his heart pounding like a drum. A peerless beauty like this must become my woman in the future. As the most handsome man in the world, how could I possibly be without a woman like her? Wouldn't that be the greatest regret? That being the case, how could I not save her?

After a long moment, Zhang Bin came to his senses and asked with a serious expression, "Madisha, if Gene Enhancement Technology is harmful, why wasn't it deleted? Why is it still preserved in this base? Now, our human race has also obtained Gene Enhancement Technology from this base and created powerful SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People. They've started to consume humans. We may very well follow in the footsteps of your Xingyue people."

"You are mistaken. Gene Enhancement Technology is not necessarily harmful. It is the fruit of thousands of years of research by our Xingyue people. It's incredibly precious. Once the flaw that causes genetically enhanced humans to go mad and crave human flesh is solved, the technology will be perfect. It can not only make people incredibly powerful but also extend their lifespan," Madisha said. "I couldn't bear to simply abandon it, so I left it behind. I hoped that one day, more intelligent life forms would evolve on Earth who could solve this flaw. Or, when I am revived, I will solve this flaw myself."

Sigh... you scientists are all lunatics, Zhang Bin couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Then what is your suggestion? How should we deal with those man-eating genetically enhanced people?"

"My suggestion is that you capture all of them as soon as possible. Study and analyze them carefully to find the cause of their madness, and then gradually refine the technology," Madisha said. "Until it is perfect."

"Capture them? Easier said than done!" Zhang Bin exclaimed. "Can these Mechanical Warriors be used? How strong are they? Can they kill SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People?"

"Although these Mechanical Warriors are very powerful and capable of killing SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People, they can only perform Defense here. If they were to leave and someone opened the Second Layer, unleashing those thousand terrifying Demons, it would be a catastrophe," Madisha explained. "So, you cannot use them."

"I understand."

After saying this, Zhang Bin continued to ask her more questions.

Soon, he had a much better understanding of the Xingyue civilization.

The Xingyue civilization placed the greatest emphasis on technological development, but it also had its Cultivators.

However, for a Cultivator to become supremely powerful, they had to possess an exceptionally rare talent.

Most people were unable to cultivate to a very powerful state, and their lifespans were a mere hundred years or so.

Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this fate, so they turned to technology to achieve their goals.

Madisha, however, possessed a peerless talent for Cultivation. She reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage at only twenty-six years old.

As the High Priest, she was blessed with the Special Ability of foresight and wielded immense power, giving her access to countless cultivation resources.

Later, when the disaster involving the genetically enhanced broke out, she led the Xingyue people in a fierce war against them.

She suffered extremely severe injuries, to the point that even her Nascent Soul shattered.

Otherwise, with her Cultivation Level in the Nascent Soul Realm, it would have been impossible for her to fall ill.

Understanding all this, Zhang Bin gave a sinister smile and commanded, "Zhou Tianyu, Zhang Hangkui, begin the retreat. Fall back to this position. This time, we will annihilate them all."

Since I can't deploy these Mechanical Warriors to hunt down the genetically enhanced humans, I'll just have to lure them here...
