Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam is currently in the Central Continent as he meditated along with his beasts. They are on a verge of a breakthrough.

Yanwu almost ate every single of the dead bodies of the Solar fragments that arrived on the desolate. Except for one corpse; which Sam stored to create some surprise.

This large consumption ensured that Yanwu alone absorbs energy from those corpses which are sufficient enough for the breakthrough of all of them.

And here they are. As soon as the energy requirement was met, they met together for the breakthrough.

As they channeled the energy together and started breaking the limits, there is something Sam is feeling at the moment. The golden crow bloodline within his body is currently completely activated and is moving towards Sam's lungs.

Sam frowned and almost stopped circulating the energy, but his body instinctually reacted and allowed the bloodline and the energy to accumulate on his lungs and they went through a metamorphosis. He felt like his lungs are ripped away from his body and placed inside a furnace.

As if they are being heated like a lump of metal before forging. The temperature increased, but by now his instincts are telling him not to let the energy circulation stop. In fact he couldn't stop.

After the heat reached a certain limit, Sam's chest started burning. His body couldn't take it. As he trembled in the burning pain for over an hour, he finally felt a bit comfortable as the pain slowly started receding.

He could feel that his lungs have changed. But he couldn't concentrate on that at the moment and proceeded with the breakthrough and from now the process became easier.

After the breakthrough, Sam finally had a chance to check up on his lungs. The beasts are looking at him with concern, but they couldn't do anything.

Yanwu is the only one who is looking at him carefully expecting something.

Sam observed his own lungs carefully and found something interesting in fact it is interesting to the point that he became extremely cautious.

His lungs are glowing with golden hue at the moment. The color of the lungs changed from the normal color to that of a mix between golden color and the blood red color.

He doesn't know exactly what is going on with the lungs, but even his breathing changed. He channeled a small amount of energy into his lungs to see what would happen and the air that he exhaled suddenly became a streak of golden flame.

Sam was stunned. He immediately stopped channeling energy and observed his lungs in horror.

Yanwu who is standing beside him started crowing in happiness while the rest of the beasts are trying to comprehend the situation.

Sam is this shocked not because he can breath fire now. In fact he could have done it in normal circumstances too, if he wanted to throw a fire attack from his mouth or nose, all he has to do is channel his energy to that spot and use fire elemental energy to attack.

But at this moment this is not just a premeditated attack. Breathing fire became his bodily function. The energy required is far less. In fact to create a decent fireball in normal cases, if we considered the energy required to be ten units, then now it became two minutes if he did it with his lungs and exhaled it through the mouth or nose.

Then he remembered the special bloodline arts of these things and understood where this is all coming from. Until now, the main reason that he cannot use the bloodline arts is that they would leave residual effects on his body for days if not for months. And sometimes he might be in comatose state for months like it happened previously.

But now that he saw the change in these lungs he thought of something. One of the two bloodline arts of the Golden Sun crow is actually related to the lungs and breathing fire.

Now he can perform the arm without effecting his body and the most adverse effect might even be an energy exhaustion.

He felt excited. Now he has another attack in his arsenal that he doesn't have to worry about being put in an extremely weak state if he used it and use it in a direct battle. Particularly, the opponents of higher strength which is exactly what he needed at the moment.

As he was getting excited on what this cultivation technique will bring him in the future, Sam got another good news. There is a signal from the fourth floor of the tower.

Ling Tian finally contacted him.

Sam immediately went to meet that guy.

"Where the hell have you gone? I had to lose an heirloom just to talk to you."

"Of course, you cannot talk to me without paying a price. Do you think it would be as easy as before? As the competition changes the difficulty increases."

Sam wanted to curse him to death, but he controlled his urge before explaining the situation with the Solar fragments.

"Of course, I figured as much. But don't worry a meeting is currently being held at the moment regarding this issue."

"Currently? Just how much time did you guys take to even take care of this issue? Damn it, why am I not being treated same as the other players, they get guidance, they were never plotted against and other gods don't hate them to the core."

"Then doesn't that say something about you? Maybe you should be working on your manners."

"You guys are really having fun because of my plights don't you?"

"I am not answering that. Anyway, we had to beat some bigshots up to get the evidence about the plot against you and it is currently being reviewed in a meeting to question the gods.

As for your situation and the questions you have. I will give you some information which might help you.

The Solar fragments cannot see you and the desolate at all. They just have an old man in their hands which was probably drawn by Hel when she was still here and she might have known about this Space gate before.

And they are using the information she gave to them to work here.

Currently they don't know what you have done to the solar fragments and how their mission status is. That is one of the reasons they are sending people in batches.

It seems like they have a very outdated information on your technology which explains their stupid mistakes regardinig provoking your mines and such."

"But if they really have old information, how did they know about the mines that I am exploring."

"They searched like dogs for three days. Try being less discreet sometimes, you are way too high profile.

Anyway, along with that, the space gate is not exactly stable and they have a limit of sending people. This space gate uses the spatial tunnel to directly open to send them there, instead of moving the people and objects directly into the tunnel, this opens up directly, so even someone not in the formation can jump in last second and it with some altercations it can be used two ways.

But the spatial tunnel is sealed which made is somewhat… how should I put it?... Cramped. It has limitations on the power of the people and the number of people they could send at a time and they increasing the number of slowly as they loosened that cramped tunnel bit by bit.

But the final limit would be an Middle Stage of Astral Plane Pre-transcendence.

And if they send a person of that caliber, they would have to wait for a while to access the tunnel again.

At the same time, they cannot send more than a few dozen people at a time with lower power.

I think you can manage."

"It is not that I am afraid I cannot manage, it is that I don't know for what kind of threat should I prepare. I don't want to waste my time on something new if I can manage the threat with what I already have."

"You already have something."

"Yeah, I made something to go against the Kala tribe if push comes to shove. It is a special gift for the Solar Fragments and it would be of great help for me if I manage to send this gift earlier than I arrived there.

But there is another doubt I have.

Since they are using the space tunnel which should be normally used for taking something out of desolate, can I send something through it when the tunnel opens?"

Sam asked casually. Ling Tian looked at him with surprise and then a smile appeared on his face. He suddenly felt a tinge of pity for the Solar fragments. Their god just damned them to the worst time of their lives since the inception of their race.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Ling Tian asked Sam.

"I want heavenly wine. One that I could use is Astral Plane. Try to ask Sun Wukong about this and see if he would be willing to give some in exchange for some heirlooms."

"From what I see, you already asked for some resources and it seems like you can get them, so you only have one heirloom left with you. Can you afford the heavenly wine with that?

Well, from the looks of it, an heirloom's value changes and the Solar fragment's heirloom is going to be very valuable compared to the rest of my current heirlooms, and meanwhile, I can collect one more. I think I can afford at least some of it."

"I will ask him."

With that, the meeting is finally over.
