From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Energy input at three percent..."

In the silent yet tense laboratory, a researcher's voice rang out, filled with surprise.

As the percentage numbers on the experimental equipment continued to climb, all the data remained relatively balanced and stable. The researcher standing by the machine immediately turned around, excitedly shouting, "It's working!"

With those words escaping his mouth, the atmosphere of tension that filled the lab eased momentarily. Amidst the hum of only the operational equipment, it was even possible to clearly hear the relieved sighs of some personnel.

Bai Chaojin, upon seeing this, immediately came to Fang Ren's side and whispered, "How do you feel?"

"Not bad, just a bit hard to breathe," Fang Ren replied.

For this energy transfer experiment, he was 100% certain he could save both his own life and that of Bai Xi—as long as he didn't die, he could cut off the energy transfer. The Void Energy was compressing his lungs, and he regulated the transfer through breathing. Even if his lungs were damaged by the energy, as long as his heart wasn't dead, he could regenerate his whole body. He wouldn't die.

"Say something if you really can't hold on," Bai Chaojin said, frowning. In fact, he was the most nervous person in the room—this was his life's work of over 20 years.

"Don't act like you care about me that much. I find you quite repulsive," Fang Ren frowned and said.

"..."

Bai Chaojin's aged brows twitched. There wasn't much he could do about that, and of course, he didn't care about it either.

"Energy transfer remains stable, reaching seven percent! Princess Bai Xi's grey Spiritual Root is beginning to merge with the Void Energy! The primary Spiritual Root is drawing energy through the grey one... Princess Bai Xi's internal Spiritual Energy is surging!"

The researchers nearby continuously reported various pieces of information, their expressions a mix of tension and excitement, as if their struggles of over 20 years were finally bearing fruit.

"Looks like Princess Bai Xi is about to make a breakthrough..."

A group of researchers immediately crowded around, looking at the numbers on the large apparatus and the fluctuating energy within Princess Bai Xi. Complex expressions simultaneously emerged on their faces.

"It's succeeding..."

In the midst of the researchers' excited voices, Fang Ren lay on the bed, silently enduring the agony. From time to time, he glanced at the ceiling, then at Bai Xi beside him.

If it wasn't for saving this girl, he would never have been part of this sin-filled and farcical experiment. He felt that even if these people succeeded, they wouldn't get what they were hoping for—a mighty being capable of shattering the Void.

Right now, Bai Xi's Realm was only at the early stages of the Xuanyang Realm. Using external forces to enhance her Realm would certainly fill Bai Xi's Spiritual Root with instability. Maybe Bai Xi would survive, but whether she could retain the improved Realm gained through external forces was a mystery.

Apart from that, what concerned Fang Ren even more was, if this experiment succeeded, and if it was announced to the public, what would become of the human world from then on?

The idea of using the Void Beast's energy for Realm enhancement was too tempting for some Cultivators on Earth with ulterior motives.

Fang Ren had never been in contact with war zones since his childhood; instead, he grew up in a small county. Through various malevolent individuals, he learned they were unlike the iron-willed soldiers in human war zones who would risk their lives to shatter the Void.

They were full of personal desires and greed. Of course, if you looked at it this way, Fang Ren himself was also full of personal desires and greed, but his was to have a peaceful marriage with Mu Huanqing and lead a quiet life, unlike some people... who desired dominion over others.

If this experiment succeeded, would those people really allow the Void to shatter?

He feared that instead, they would oppose shattering the Void, supporting the continuation of the experiment, making humans even stronger.

And then... who knew what Earth would become.

```

And the person Fang Ren feared the most was precisely someone like Bai Chaojin. What if Bai Chaojin succeeded and his goal was not to shatter the Void, but to turn the entire Earth into his own dynasty?

He would certainly choose to kill everyone who knew about this experiment, and then only he would know the method.

Just how horrific could the situation develop?

Regrettably, no matter how things evolved later, Fang Ren had no way to stop it. The moment he decided to save the girl beside him, he had already lost control over an already hard-to-control future.

"Sigh... Hopefully, things will develop in a favorable direction."

Fang Ren sighed, carefully transmitting his True Qi without stop. Bai Qi's internal Spiritual Energy was growing continuously, finally reaching the next bottleneck. He had to give Bai Qi a hand.

The gray energy within his body began to circulate, entering Bai Qi's bloodstream through his arm, and ultimately reaching Bai Qi's Dantian, which had already started to riot, continuously harmonizing the various energies inside.

Time ticked away bit by bit, and Fang Ren began to feel fatigued. His eyelids could barely stay open, and he closed his eyes completely.

As he closed his eyes, his spirit began to focus only on the transfer of energy, assisting Bai Qi in her breakthrough.

"Energy transfer stable, overall progress 11%, Princess Bai Xi is about to break through!"

"Energy transfer at 15%! Princess Bai Xi has broken through!"

"This is only 15%! It has already allowed for a breakthrough in the early stages of the Xuanyang Realm! This Void Energy is far too powerful!"

"How much energy is contained within this Void Beast Skull?"

"Beginning to calculate total energy... Preliminary calculations indicate that if all this Void Energy were transferred, Princess Bai Xi's Realm could directly break through to the mid-stages of the Qianye Realm!"

"The mid-stages of the Qianye Realm!? From the beginning of the Cultivation Era up to now, the strongest person..."

Various reports echoed in his ears, yet Fang Ren felt increasingly exhausted. His spirit was becoming more and more focused on one thing, relaxing his vigilance against everything around him...

He didn't want it to be this way, but the immense pressure of the Void Energy still overwhelmed his nerves, which couldn't stand it. Although his heart would not die unless destroyed, and damaging his nerves would be futile, as they would regenerate, it still wasn't hard to exhaust his nerves and thus deprive him of fighting strength.

He could be immortal, but that didn't mean he had endless energy and stamina.

Time had passed uncountably, and besides transferring the Void Energy, Fang Ren had forgotten everything else.

During this period, the little Qianye in his pocket had jumped out, attempting to awaken him, but Fang Ren's fatigue had forced it back into his body.

Bai Qi's Realm continued to break through, her body gradually warming, the effects of the feigned-death drug were lost, and she was about to come back to life.

Now, Bai Chaojin came back to Fang Ren's side, looking at Fang Ren, who was nearly passed out, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, as if he was wrestling with something.

A researcher came over and said to Bai Chaojin, "Commander, I think we should let Princess Bai Xi and him have an offspring... After all, shattering the Void is too dangerous, and even if it's achieved, Princess Bai Xi might... die. If the Void still hasn't shattered by then, their child would also be a guarantee for the future of humanity."

After hearing this, Bai Chaojin was conflicted but ultimately nodded, "Execute the 'Seed of Fire' plan."
