So it was because Lu Yuan had repaired the space crack before, so it was an instinctive reaction of the mutation to get rid of him who could repair the space crack?
Good lord, how did he know that repairing the space crack would have such an effect?
If he had known, he would never have repaired the spatial crack. At the very least, he would not have repaired it before he had the strength to deal with the crack hunters that followed the trail.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Yuan had previously planned to become stronger and repair the space cracks in the two forbidden zones at the border of the Red Maple Empire.
Those two spatial rifts were much bigger than this one.
If even this space crack could attract overlord-tier mutated beasts, what kind of beasts would an even bigger space crack attract?
Lu Yuan shuddered at the thought.
He pursed his dry lips, looked at the old elf, and asked,
".. Are the crack hunters very strong?"
The smile on the elderly elf's face disappeared. He looked at Lu Yuan with a grave expression and chuckled.
"Trust me, the crack hunters are much stronger than you think. Even the weakest of them is an overlord."
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Even the weakest was emperor-ranked?
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Lu Yuan said that at the very least, when he broke through to the battle monarch state ... No, even if he had just broken through to the battle monarch realm, he would not dare to repair the space crack.
The strength of mutated beasts was much stronger than genetic warriors of the same level. Even though he had just broken through to the battle-monarch level, Lu Yuan did not think that he could be a match for an emperor-level mutated beast.
Lu Yuan then thought of something and looked at the old elf curiously. "Senior, then why did you suddenly appear here?"
The old elf chuckled, "since there's a 'wound' in the universe, there must be someone who can heal it. People like me who have space-type transcendent genes will help the universe repair the space crack. We're the repairmen of the universe. We've been running all over the universe, repairing the space cracks, hoping to stop the universe from being eroded and mutated."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was filled with respect. "So that's how it is. Senior is truly a respectable person."
The old elf shook his head. the universe is the mother of all living beings. If the universe is completely eroded by mutation, all of us will die.
He then sighed. unfortunately, repairing the space crack can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. As long as the source of the mutation outside the universe is not removed, the erosion will always exist ... "Furthermore, genetic warriors with space-type genes are extremely rare. Naturally, those who can deal with their pursuers are even fewer. Therefore, even if we repair the universe crack with all our might, we can only slow down the speed of the universe's erosion. We can't even catch up to the speed at which the space crack appears."
"We don't have much time," he said with a heavy expression.
Lu Yuan's heart felt heavy when he heard this.
Then, he thought of himself. Perhaps he would be able to help if he broke through to the battle emperor realm quickly.
As long as he reached the battle emperor tier, he could easily deal with an emperor-tier mutated beast. Even if he were to face a saint-tier mutated beast, he might still be able to win as long as he fought with all his might.
But even so, he was only one person. The universe was so big, what use could he be alone?
Unless there were more space-type genetic warriors, or if he could break through to the battle god level.
That's not right ... There must be more than one or two battle god in the entire universe, but it didn't seem to be getting better.
Speaking of which, since the source of the mutation existed outside the universe, why not destroy it?
"Senior," Lu Yuan asked curiously, "since the source of the mutation exists outside the universe, can we destroy it?"
Upon hearing this, the elderly elf's lips curled into a smile. Lu Yuan could sense the bitterness in this smile.
"Young man, cultivate well. When your strength is enough, you might be able to do this."
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Lu Yuan felt that the old elf seemed to be comforting him.
Or maybe he was just trying to comfort himself.
It seemed that the situation was more serious than Lu Yuan had thought.
Lu Yuan felt a slight headache.
He was thinking that if he broke through to the battle god level and evolved all his transcendent genes to the god-grade, would he be able to destroy the source of the mutation?
Maybe it wasn't enough. Maybe he had to evolve his transcendent genes to surpass god-grade?
Lu Yuan was under immense pressure.
"I'll work hard," he said with a smile.
The elderly elf smiled, glanced at Lu Yuan, and said,
"Your space-type transcendent gene isn't bad, but it's a pity that you're too weak. When you break through to the battle emperor realm, you can go to the upper level of the Land of Origin, the heaven mending city, and contact me. That is, if you're interested in becoming a repair master."
Lu Yuan nodded seriously. "I'll contact you when the time comes, senior."
The elderly elf nodded with a smile. He glanced at the human base in the distance and said, "
"Is that the space crack of your race's planet?"
Lu Yuan nodded, feeling a little complicated. He did not know if the old elf had repaired the space crack. Repairing it was a must, but if that was the case, the Red Maple Empire might not be able to collect the ice vein crystal mine.
The elderly elf seemed to have noticed Lu Yuan's worry and smiled.
"Don't worry, even if we're repairing the space rifts, we still have a priority. We usually don't repair the space rifts that can connect to resource planets first. It's a good thing for us to be able to obtain resources and improve ourselves. After all, this would be a better way to deal with the mutation."
Lu Yuan came to a realization and then said with a smile, "I understand, senior."
The elderly elf nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I should go too. By the way, don't tell anyone about what I told you today."
Lu Yuan was stunned, then nodded slightly. "I know."
If he told everyone that the problem was so serious that the entire universe might be facing an apocalypse, many people would probably lose control before the end of the world.
At that time, it would only become more chaotic.
The reason why this old senior told him was probably because he was already able to repair the space crack, and he wanted him to become a repairman in the future.
"By the way, senior, how should I address you?"
Lu Yuan remembered that he had not asked for the name of this elderly elf and said.
"Hehe, my name is Solomon Silvermoon. Young man, I hope to see you in the heaven mending city as soon as possible."
After saying that, his body disappeared on the spot.
Lu Yuan still could not sense how the old man disappeared.
He came to a sudden realization and took a deep breath. He remembered Solomon Silvermoon's name in his heart and planned to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
When he became a battle emperor and had maxed out most of his transcendent genes, he would start repairing the other spatial rifts.
At the thought of this, Lu Yuan felt a sense of urgency and decided to go back to cultivate as soon as possible.
He was only a battle king, and with his current cultivation speed, it would take him about half a year to break through to the battle monarch realm. After that, he would need a lot of time to refine his newly evolved transcendent genes.
The road was long.
Lu Yuan sighed. His body disappeared on the spot and he returned to the human base.
In the shadows of the human base, Lu Yuan saw many human combat Kings and combat emperors floating in the air, looking in one direction with surprise and doubt.
Lu Yuan took a look and was stunned. He realized that they were looking in the direction he came from.
Then, he seemed to have understood something.
Did they also sense the commotion caused by the mutated beast?
But that was all in the past.
Lu Yuan's mouth twitched as he thought of the Emperor-level mutated beast that had shattered with the space.
That old senior was definitely a super powerful Big Shot.
Lu Yuan shook his head and no longer paid attention to the warriors of Ice Vein. He disappeared from where he was, passed through the space crack, and returned to Daqi star.
After that, Lu Yuan disappeared again and returned to his room in the imperial capital.
Recalling today's experience, Lu Yuan sighed and continued to cultivate.
