Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!

Although this strong Mutant was swiftly beaten into retreat by the intelligent combat group, the matter of "Transcendent Humans" was exposed to the public eye.

Afterwards, under the rampant media coverage, the attack was covered up as a single-pilot Mecha, spinning it into a science fiction narrative.

The internet was also controlled.

As for how many people believed it, that was hard to say.

In any case, except for a few places guarded by Third Rank Lives, the turmoil in other regions not only failed to subside with time but instead became more severe and cruel due to the provocation from Brian's email.

More and more Mutant powers rose from the sewers.

Having been enough of sewer rats, they were now desperate to have their voices heard in this world!

Out of helplessness,

After a United Nations conference, there were now calls to accept the strong among Mutants to help establish new rules for the era and maintain the stability of human society together.

All sorts of true and false information filled the air.

Many people felt that oppressive air of an era's transformation, with a storm looming.

Brian, however, had no energy to pay attention to these things.

He was tied to the headboard by Susan, undergoing her interrogation...

"Sigh~"

Susan got up panting, contentedly grabbed a towel, and wiped down her body, drenched in sweat from having just finished her squat exercises.

Brian felt lifeless, snapping the handcuffs tied to the headboard, "It's been days, Susan, you need to practice restraint..."

His online reputation had recently taken a hit.

Some mischievous lunatics even used Brian as inspiration to write many lewd stories.

As someone who became a Third Rank Life in just two short years and had killed two Third Rank Lives as well, Brian's recent topics were too hot.

Susan, upon seeing those things, wasn't very angry.

Brian had "patched" her up long ago.

During their free time,

Susan would even pull Brian to read those stories together for fun, to cultivate sentiments, bringing freshness into their marriage.

It was just...

Brian felt that Susan was playing a bit too wildly recently.

It was rather embarrassing.

"Shut up!"

Susan snorted coldly, then frowned slightly and rubbed her waist, "Brian, is there a way... you know, to significantly enhance physical strength?"

The gap between their physical strength was too large.

After a few busy days.

Susan indeed felt a bit weakened.

Upon hearing this, Brian shrugged, "There's no way around it, your physical strength has already neared the limit of a Second Rank Life under my essence's nourishment, but as a Beastification Person, your breakthrough speed is stimulated by that Mutant Beast heart, faster than ordinary people, but it stops at the peak of the Second Rank."

The limitations of Beastification People were quite significant.

Susan had good foundations; her heart, cultivated by old Dean's nurturing, approached that of a Third Rank Life. With time and Brian's day and night care, the only thing needed was for the physical body to nourish consciousness, which will naturally form a Life Magnetism at the heart.

But the time frame for this was uncertain.

And Third Rank Life was probably Susan's limit, that is, the level like Dean's before.

The path of an enhancer was also difficult.

First and Second Rank Lives could still be forcefully built up with resources.

But Third Rank and above were purely a matter of talent.

Seeing the all-capable Brian say there was no way, Susan felt somewhat discouraged.

She nestled in Brian's arms, her hands unsettled, sadly saying, "What should we do then? I asked Father, and he said I could only reach Third Rank Life at most, but you... I feel like the distance between us is growing, and I can't seem to get pregnant..."

"Don't worry about the child, it's just..."

Brian was about to say they could have a child anytime when he suddenly seemed to remember something, reached out his hand into the void, grabbed a blood-colored gemstone, and handed it to Susan, "I just remembered, there is a way, but... you might become quite larger..."

Looking at the blood-colored gemstone handed to her, Susan sat up again, curiously examining the jewel.

The gemstone was small but beautiful to look at.

And perhaps it was an illusion, but upon seeing the blood-colored gemstone in her hand, Susan's saliva secreted prolifically, feeling an urge to pop the gemstone into her mouth.

She swallowed, looking at Brian, "What's this?"

"A Bloodline Crystal!"

Brian touched Susan's somewhat damp hair, "This is a Giant Bloodline Crystal I acquired by chance. It's similar to the turtle heart inside your body. If you merge with this Bloodline Crystal, you can naturally break through to a Fifth Rank Life."

This was a Bloodline Crystal left by the King of Destruction.

Brian had always looked down upon it, previously tossed it into the Blissful Heart Domain Space and nearly forgot about it.

Fifth Rank, also known as the Transcendence Realm.

Lifespan, extremely prolonged.

For Susan, it was akin to ascending to heaven in a single bound.

"Giant?"

Susan's eyes widened, "Fifth Rank?"

Brian nodded, revealing the secrets of the Afterglow Plate briefly.

After hearing his words, Susan felt that the world had become a bit unfamiliar.

She had originally thought that being a Third Rank Life meant being in a lofty position, and that her boyfriend becoming a Fourth Rank Life was almost like being invincible across the globe.

She hadn't expected there to be a Fifth Rank...

What about above Fifth Rank?

Susan couldn't be bothered to think further.

She looked at the gemstone in her hand with some hesitation, "If I merge with this Giant Bloodline Crystal, won't I turn into a monster?"

"No!"

Brian shook his head, urging her, "You'll just be very large. An adult giant is over twenty meters tall, roughly the height of a seven or eight-story building. But since you're not pureblood, you should be able to reduce your size. Even if you can't shrink, there's no need to worry, I have a way to solve it..."

Heaven knows, ever since he broke through to Second Rank Life, he was never able to eat his fill.

Now seeing the hope of satisfying his hunger, he naturally felt elated.

And for Susan, who had limited natural talent, it was also a wonderful opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step.

"That child..."

"No problem, I have ways to resolve it!"

Brian patted his chest, making a promise!

Without the worry of consequences, Susan, who was anxious about not keeping pace with Brian, decisively chose to replace her bloodline!

However, the replacement of the bloodline was not that simple.

The Giant Bloodline Crystal contained power that was too overwhelming. It appeared unremarkable, but it was constantly radiating energy outward, akin to a miniature version of a pollution radiation source.

If it wasn't for Brian continuously suppressing this radiation with the power of the Heart Domain,

Throwing the Bloodline Crystal outside would immediately cause the same havoc Brian previously wrought in Brazil: under the radiation of the bloodline's aura, a large number of ordinary people died, and a few fortunate individuals with strong bodies and willpower absorbed the radiation of the giant bloodline's aura, mutating into Favored of the bloodline.

So, for Susan to endure the transformation brought by this Bloodline Crystal, she feared it would need a lot of time, slowly grinding away at it.

Just as Brian was preparing to draw out the faint giant bloodline's aura for Susan to absorb.

Snap.

The door to the couple's bedroom was suddenly pushed open.

A huge dog's head with a pair of dark circles sneakily peeked in...

...

Hearing the noise.

The young couple sharply turned their gaze toward the door.

Shi San with a listless dog face, lacklusterly said, "Brian, Susan, stop fighting. You've been at it for days, the floorboards are about to shatter..."

The two of them turned somber and said in unison, "Speak your business!"

Shi San, intimidated by their tone, shrank back its head, grumbling, "I came for help. These past few days, I've been having dreams, a bad woman with an indistinct face, constantly harassing Shi San in my dreams while I sleep. If it continues, I feel I'm going to die..."

"Bad woman?"

The two exchanged glances, having no choice but to interrupt the upcoming experiment.

Shi San, for both of them, had already become family.

Neither wished any harm to come to it.

...

Getting dressed.

Brian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to examine Shi San's condition.

This examination made him jump in shock!

Shi San's condition was like that of one whose spirit had been sapped by a female ghost. It appeared as sturdy as a young calf but was actually on the brink of death!
