The Martial Unity

Chapter 3620: Still Searching

While war, a world war at that, sparked and erupted in the true world, Rui had merrily ignored it, going about his own agendas. He had taken hold of the Great Void Ocean and had granted the Panamic Alliance almost complete control over the negatron mines at the bottom of the ocean.

He knew that the Panamic Alliance was undoubtedly going through a rough time dealing with the war from Greater Tekvoria and now the giants, but he knew that with his father leading the continent, they would be fine in the short term. The Panama Continent had grown much, much stronger over the past twelve years and had evolved tremendously as a civilization.

He had also leveraged his Eye of Prophecy to be relatively certain that nothing disastrous was likely to happen in the immediate short term. He had taken the opportunity to pursue his own personal interests.

Project EvoBody.

It had been around a year since he had gotten his hands on a living cell from Anthea’s body, which he had kept inside his body for the time being. He hadn’t made any progress with the project ever since, due to getting distracted by what he now realized were less central and less important projects like the six paths.

However, what he had found to be impossible to resolve was to somehow integrate the cell into his physiology without having his body try to eliminate it as a foreign life form.

That was where the Divine Doctor had come in.

He needed the doctor’s help to integrate the cell into his body. Once he integrated the evosapien stem cell into his body, he would be able to get it to divide and reproduce to spread more evosapien physiology throughout the entirety of his body, becoming an evosapien-human hybrid in function, inheriting Anthea’s transcendent evolution that he had achieved by the end of his life.

Rui was extremely eager for this project; words couldn’t even describe just how excited he had been to harness Anthea’s power and legacy and the traits of evosapien biology.

He believed that it was the next step that he would need to take for him to evolve into an entirely new level of power. As good as his Metabody System was, it was still hardly enough when he thought about all the potential ways in which he could adaptively evolve physiologically. There was so much untapped potential for adaptive evolution in his biology that he simply couldn’t be satisfied with what he had when he learned of the existence of Evolutionaries.

The moment he had completed his job in the Great Void Ocean, he had immediately begun searching for the Divine Doctor, first contacting all the Immortal Sages, all of whom denied knowing anything about where the Doctor actually was.

The man had just up and disappeared.

“If not for my Eye of Prophecy, I would not have tracked him.”

After all, this had been the exact reason that he had managed to track the Divine Doctor the last time when he was a mere Martial Senior, searching for a cure to the Eternal Dream disease that had afflicted his father. It had been the whole reason he had gone to find the Silas Clan all those decades ago after his father had fallen into a coma.

His Eye of Prophecy had led him outside Gaia herself.

Even as he stood in outer space, basking in the blinding and unadulterated light and brightness of the shining sun, unmoored by the gravity of Gaia in the distance, he couldn’t help but feel a degree of liberation that he hadn’t ever felt before. His hair floated about aimlessly and shapelessly while his clothes gently waved about as he simply observed what he beheld.

The vast, endless depths of the cosmos spread out in the distance as the countless stars and galaxies spread out across the otherwise dark universe. These painted a breathlessly beautiful tapestry across the canvas that was the universe.

Rui paused, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of the universe. He had never been one for astronomy or cosmology, but who couldn’t appreciate such a profoundly stunning view of the universe?

Light from across the galaxy and from galaxies beyond traveled a great distance, allowing him to detect them as they were millions and billions of years ago.

Who knew what they were like at the present moment?

Who knew what was truly happening in the depths of the universe?

It ignited the romance of adventure within the heart of man, and yet, Rui knew to remain focused on his mission objectives. He could look forward to exploring the universe once enough negatron matter had been harvested from the Great Void Ocean.

WHOOSH

He propelled himself forward into outer space by manipulating the very fabric of space itself, spontaneously developing a space-oriented footwork with the Forge of Creation that was optimal for outer space.

He pushed himself into outer space, keeping his Eye of Prophecy active as he continuously searched for the Divine Doctor in outer space while keeping his guard up.

The solar system was far from uninhabited.

It was filled with mining operations from all six races that harnessed more and more resources from the true world.

In the far, far distance, he could spot space infrastructure, including but not limited to mining stations, defense stations, space probes, telescopes, and even observatories.

Why would the Divine Doctor be so far away from Gaia and in outer space? The man was supposed to be a doctor and a biotechnologist as a side job.

Others might not have had any idea why, but Rui knew.

“He’s still searching.”

The same thing he had been searching for a long, long time.

If he had departed from Gaia, did that mean he had finished searching the true world for clues?

Rui could hardly imagine that.

The Divine Doctor was extraordinary, no doubt, but not even he could possibly accomplish that in just a year’s time when even Rui would have previously found that to be impossible.

WHOOSH

Rui headed deeper and deeper into outer space, guided by his Eye of Prophecy.
