Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 9: Ignite A Fire

After a week of hell, a girl couldn't hold on and died on the day the enlightenment drug arrived. She even brushed past the warm corpse and the secret box filled with potions. This scene itself was like fate playing a bad joke on her. The youths' hearts were heavy, because they knew that perhaps one day they would also become like that.

Alan's bright red eyes stared at the box and watched it carry the two soldiers into the second lieutenant's barracks. He clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he would live no matter what.

Lanny and Bai Fang's eyes alternated in his mind, and the pain of the last glance was still wrapped around his heart. He would never let go of those who had taken away these two pairs of eyes. Whether it was the predators or the Black Widows Hunting Group, they would all die!

The premise was that Alan had to crawl out of hell. The flames of vengeance were burning in the youth's eyes. The first step was to start with the potions.

Seeing the potion disappear from his barracks, Second Lieutenant Ron said to the teenagers, "I hope you've read the manual. In the afternoon, you'll receive the enlightenment potion." At that time, you will have to use the methods described in the manual to induce the potential of the gene. Let me remind you that you'd better be able to ignite the flame seed during the first two potion injections. Otherwise, your accomplishments will be limited even if you ignite the flame at the third time. Moreover, he won't live long "

There were still two hours left until noon. The second lieutenant was exceptionally kind today and did not allow the youths to continue their training. They could go back to the barracks, and the first thing everyone did was to pick up the manual and read it hard so that they could remember every word in their hearts and try to ignite the fire once.

Alan was no exception, but he read the manual and put it down. In fact, after reading the instructions in the manual, he was able to memorize them word for word. In this hell-like training, apart from the rapid growth of survival skills, stamina, and strength, he also discovered that he already possessed an astonishing memory. It was as if Second Lieutenant Ron's cruel training was constantly squeezing the limits of his body, awakening something that was sleeping.

Compared to Alan when he entered the camp, the youth's physical fitness had at least doubled.

The instruction manual on Origin Energy issued by the second lieutenant contained the procedures for inducing genetic potential and igniting the fire seed. This procedure was a method that the federal government had worked out over hundreds of years. It was popularized in the army, and every year, because of this set of procedures, many Origin Energy practitioners would be born in the army. Of course, some of the wealthy families on the floating island had their own way of enlightenment, so they naturally disdained to use this kind of great goods that could be recorded in textbooks.

After all, the use of enlightenment potions had all sorts of flaws. The commoners naturally didn't mind this, but as upper-class nobles, they chased after excellence and perfection. Unless he had to, even the disciples of the other branches would not use the Enlightenment Potion.

After reading the manual, Alan did nothing. In this rare free time, he lay completely relaxed in bed. As for the other teenagers, they were more nervous and anxious.

Time passed by in their different mental states. Soon, it was afternoon. After lunch, the teenagers were gathered in a hall. This was the space inside the mountain, shaped like an air-raid shelter. However, it was wide enough and quiet enough. When the two green steel doors of the hall were closed, the sound of the outside world was silenced. Apart from the youths and Ron, there were only a few paramedics in the hall.

Allen and the others sat down cross-legged on the ground as required. The paramedics were opening the secret box and loading the three-centimeter-long, firefly-colored potions into the syringes. Following Ron's instructions, the enlightenment drug was injected into the veins of each youth's arm from left to right.

When the cooler needle pierced through his skin and the medicine in the syringe squeezed into his veins under pressure, Allen's mind began to wander. He knew that this was a phenomenon where medicines began to work, and that enlightenment medicines could maximize the neurological sensitivity of humans. It also produces hallucinations similar to those experienced after injecting drugs.

The extent of the manual states that when the drug works, the user needs to concentrate his mind and precipitate his mind in a meditative manner in order to have the opportunity to feel the resonance of origin power and then induce their activation from the gene fragment.

Cosmic Origin Energy and Life Origin Energy are both external in one form and internal in the other. Cosmic Origin Energy was obtained from outside, and the Magic Cube energy device was an obvious example. As for the life force, it was the exact opposite. Therefore, if he couldn't deposit his soul, he wouldn't be able to come into contact with the power hidden in the depths of his genes.

Alan followed the instructions in the manual, using a long breath to concentrate his mind, and then imagining himself constantly settling down. Under the effect of the enlightenment drug, his nervous sensitivity increased by multiple times. Very quickly, Alan could not hear anything but his own regular heartbeat. His heart beat like a drum, beating at a constant speed. When Alan's mind merged with his own heartbeat, the world became strangely quiet.

Past experiences flashed through his mind like a video rewind. Alan saw Bai Fang fall, saw him leave with the pack of wolves, and saw the snow-white broken finger on the black charred ground

His short life passed through his mind. After countless scenes arrived, all the scenes disappeared and everything fell silent.

In the eyes of his heart, the silent world gradually shone with a trace of light. Under the faint red light, something was slowly stirring. When the tentacles of his mind touched the thing, Alan suddenly understood that it was a fetus.

It was him!

With the help of the potion, Allen's heart continued to sink into the depths of his soul. It was as if he was embarking on a miraculous journey to the source. First, he reviewed all the fragments he had experienced since he was born. Then, he actually felt himself when he was still a fetus. As this journey continued, something in his heart silently shattered. Then, Alan saw countless flickering fluorescent lights. They were like a sea of stars in the universe, covering the entire perspective of the soul!

Allen was delighted, knowing that he had finally successfully entered the depths of his gene and had "seen" his own life force from the perspective of his soul. He didn't dare to neglect it. The tentacles of his soul quietly stretched out towards these fluorescent lights. The fluorescent lights that seemed to be the closest to him were incomparably far apart. Ellen refused to give up, and his soul tentacle continued to probe towards the fluorescent light. As the tentacle stretched, it became thinner and thinner.

When the tentacles of the soul were as thin as strands of hair, it finally hooked a little fluorescence. When he touched the fluorescent light, the originally motionless light suddenly flashed and flowed rapidly along the antennae. In an instant, the light firefly turned into a dazzling light in Allen's eyes. Following a slight tremor in the world of consciousness, Allen threw himself forward uncontrollably.

This time, he really opened his eyes and saw a pair of thick square-headed military boots. He raised his head and saw Ron's surprised face.

Ron stared at him for a minute, and then he looked at Alan with a little bit of fear. He grinned and didn't slap Allen back to the ground. The second lieutenant chuckled, "You didn't disappoint me, kid. You lit the fire the first time you used the potion. You did a good job."

Alan didn't react for a moment, and then he felt that something was circulating in his body along with the flow of blood.

That was the first vortex of Origin Energy!

Forming a vortex of Origin Energy was also a sign of ignition. From this moment onwards, it meant that Alan had stepped into the ranks of Origin Energy Cultivators. Second Lieutenant Ron had someone bring over a notebook with a list of youths on it. Under Allen's name, Second Lieutenant Ron briefly recorded Allen's lighting of the fire seed, leaving behind the comment that "there is great potential".

However, if Ron knew that Allen could actually see the past of his life, dating back to the fetal period, he would finally see a sea of Origin Energy like a sea of stars. Then his comment should be changed to "extraordinary talent." Not to mention that after a normal person used a potion, even if he successfully precipitated his own soul, he would only be able to see sporadic fragments of the past, not complete experiences like Allen's.

Moreover, it was impossible for them to see their own fetal period unless they had established their own perception during the fetal period! Finally, when the soul was completely absorbed into the depths of the gene, seeing the amount of Origin Energy fluorescence was an intuitive evaluation of its potential. Normally speaking, people who could see a galaxy could already be considered to have great potential.

However, what Alan saw was a sea of Origin Energy like the stars in the universe!

Two hours later, the effects of the potion passed and all the youths opened their eyes. It was as if they had had a long dream, and each of their faces revealed an endless feeling, but very quickly, each of them was whipped by the instructor.

Ron shook his head and said, "You bunch of trash, apart from Alan, none of you ignited a fire seed. You wasted a chance. Remember, you don't have many chances."

Right now, the teenagers' resistance to attacks had greatly improved. At the very least, they could still withstand the instructor's whip. However, when they heard Alan ignite the fire seed, their gazes changed. As Alan walked through the green steel door, he could feel all kinds of gazes behind him. There were jealousy, envy, and even more hatred.
