Chapter 57 of "Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation" begins with: It was as if he heard Ding Huan's desperate calls, and Qu Yi's fingers trembled... See the full story!

It was as if he heard Ding Huan's desperate calls, and Qu Yi's fingers trembled slightly. Blurred by tears, Ding Huan saw this slight tremor. Ding Huan wished he could slap himself a few times. Death and vitality are different, at least Qu Yi's vitality hadn't faded yet. With vitality remaining, there was a chance that his injury recovery Genetic Potion could work. Moreover, since Qu Yi's fingers were still moving, it indicated that Qu Yi was still sentient. The Genetic Potion in his body contained a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline specifically for injury recovery. He should have immediately merged this injury recovery Genetic Potion into Qu Yi first, instead of grieving. Without hesitation, he put down his backpack and took out the bottle of injury recovery Genetic Potion he had kept for Qu Yi. Ding Huan opened the potion, stepped forward to open Qu Yi's lips, and poured the Genetic Potion into his mouth. If Ding Huan had started by disrespecting his daughter's body like that, Qu Yonghe and Yan Quan would have definitely stopped him. Qu Yi was already dead, drinking any potion was useless. Ding Huan forcibly feeding his daughter an unknown potion, wasn't that desecrating her body? Yet Ding Huan's sorrowful demeanor prevented Qu Yonghe and Yan Quan from stopping his actions. Perhaps the Ding Huan before them truly was Yi Yi's lover before her demise, but because Yi Yi was shy, she had not disclosed their relationship. After an entire bottle of Genetic Potion was poured, Ding Huan carefully lifted Qu Yi's neck to facilitate the absorption of the Genetic Potion throughout her body. "Mr. Ding, Yi Yi has passed away," Qu Fei reminded him gently from the side. She hoped Ding Huan would stop his futile effort. Ding Huan acted as if he didn't hear her, continuing his actions. Time slowly passed, and after Qu Fei's statement, no one spoke again in the living room, nobody wanted to disturb the scene before them. At that moment, not only Qu Yonghe but also Yan Quan and the others were certain of one thing, Ding Huan was Qu Yi's lover; they had simply been secretly in love. Otherwise, Ding Huan couldn't possibly exhibit such uncontrollable sorrow. Yan Quan even felt somewhat guilty, wondering if she had been too strict on Yi Yi. If not, Yi Yi should have told her about having a boyfriend. Only Qu Fei knew, Ding Huan was definitely not Qu Yi's lover. Ding Huan stood like a statue, motionless. Ten minutes, twenty minutes... Half an hour later, Qu Yonghe couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Ding..." Before Qu Yonghe could finish, Qu Fei excitedly said, "There's color returning to Yi Yi's wrist..." Everyone's eyes fixed on Qu Yi's wrist, where a hint of color emerged against the normally pale flesh. They then noticed that the color was not just on her wrist, but also on the palms of her hands. This indicated that blood was starting to circulate in Qu Yi's body, a sign of life. "Yi Yi's face..." Yan Quan covered her nose, tears once again uncontrollably rolling down. She saw color returning to Qu Yi's face. Qu Yi was coming back to life. "Mr. Ding, has Yi Yi been saved?" Qu Fei asked incredulously. Ding Huan sighed in relief, thankful he still had another bottle of injury recovery Genetic Potion prepared for Qu Yi. "Qu Yi has come back to life," Ding Huan's voice also trembled. In his most helpless moment, even when embracing a fatalistic mindset for the next human gene experiment for the Genetic Potion. Qu Yi's last words, "Please donate my eyes to him after my death... let him see the beauty of the world with my eyes..." Gave him new life. It wasn't that he regained vision, but he started to believe that even the ugliest world could possess beauty. He fostered hope for life and a pursuit for good things. Even though in the two hundred years that followed, he constantly struggled between life and death, living in torment, and even though he was ultimately hunted down to his death, His inner longing for light and a beautiful future never wavered. "Thank you," Ding Huan, once again, said these three words to the lying Qu Yi. Only he understood the significance of these words. Qu Yi's survival was his redemption for his own heart, his desire for the future, his steadfast belief in the good, and even his faith in pursuing the status of an Immortal God. If Qu Yi had died today, even if he had tried to establish new beliefs for himself, the desires and pursuits deep within his heart would have inadvertently collapsed. Without the internal belief in love and beauty, what would he become? He could no longer ascend to higher levels—an intuition and two lifetimes of insight about life. So, today he wanted to thank Qu Yi again. At the same time, he was also thankful for the Fire Kirin, a Genetic Potion for injury recovery containing a trace of Divine Beast Bloodline, which did not disappoint him. It seemed that Ding Huan heard his words, as Qu Yi's dim, withered eyes shed a trace of blood again. "Mr. Ding, how is Yi Yi now?" Yan Quan could no longer bear the agony in his heart and asked. "Yi Yi is fine now, please prepare a gene laboratory for me and purchase some medicinal materials. I need to make some potions for Yi Yi." Perhaps influenced by Yan Quan and Qu Fei, Ding Huan unconsciously started calling Qu Yi 'Yi Yi.' "Yes, we have one at home," Qu Yonghe responded, his excitement making him a bit incoherent. Others might talk nonsense about testing Genetic Potions, but not Ding Huan. When Mr. Ding says he'll test Genetic Potions, it's a tremendous opportunity. In this world, who wouldn't crave a Genetic Potion made by Mr. Ding? If Qu Yi's body weren't still recovering, Ding Huan would want to merge the Antidote Gene Potion for Qu Yi right now. He feared that merging the two potions simultaneously might cause conflict, and that Qu Yi's body wouldn't withstand it. After hesitating, Ding Huan decided to wait until Qu Yi had fully integrated the Injury Recovery Genetic Potion before doing anything else. ... Ding Huan, with some blood collected from Qu Yi, went to the Qu Family's gene laboratory. Indeed, the Qu Family had a gene laboratory, and it wasn't shabby at all. In an era marked by the outbreak of Genetic Beasts and the proliferation of Genetic Potions, gene laboratories were essential for wealthy families. The Qu Family might not be considered a wealthy family, nor did they specifically outfit their facilities with a gene laboratory. But the Qu family was not short of money; they made their fortune from Cold Weapons, which were nationally renowned. Thus, it was proposed within the Qu family's business to expand the Cold Weapon factory and step into the Genetic Potion industry. The gene industry was not only trendy but also a sunrise industry of the future. The Qu Family's move into the Genetic Potion industry wasn't wrong, as everyone was thinking along similar lines. Qu Yonghe himself was quite tempted; he had bought a set of gene laboratory equipment, ready to make a big splash in the gene field. Unfortunately, though gene laboratories could be bought with money, talented individuals in genetics were exceedingly rare. Some moderately capable genetics talents were either scooped up by the Genetic Alliance and Blue Star Ten Great Colleges or snatched by various major universities or research institutions. For a private enterprise to secure top genetic talents was a pipe dream. Not to mention a family business that dealt in Cold Weapons trying to break into the gene industry. As for Geng Qianxing from Yujiang University, he was an exception, or rather, an undiscovered gem—such occurrences were exceedingly rare. In fact, even if Qu Yonghe found a talented geneticist like Geng Qianxing, he couldn't retain such a talent in the Qu Family once they had achieved results. If Ding Huan hadn't intervened, after Geng Qianxing developed the Endurance Gene, his fate would have been to disappear. ... What Ding Huan actually intended to create was the Spirit Root Gene Potion, not the gene that enhanced physical fitness he made for Fang Chong and others before. The reason he asked Qu Fei to purchase some medicinal materials was that Ding Huan worried that Qu Yi might not be able to merge with the Spirit Root Gene. The reason Qu Yi was struggling was due to the failure of the Alien Gene fusion. Whether or not the failed fusion of Alien Gene would allow for a Spirit Root Gene fusion, Ding Huan wasn't sure. The medicinal materials needed to make the Spirit Root Gene Potion were on Ding Huan, prepared earlier on Beilong Mountain for Qu Yi, but he hadn't used them as he didn't have Qu Yi's blood. Among the materials prepared by Ding Huan was a precious Mutated Gene Medicinal Material, the Mutated Ba You. That particular plant of Mutated Ba You, even guarded by the Gold-faced Coarse-tailed Monkey as a treasure, contained elements that strengthened the meridians. The second creation of the Spirit Root Gene Potion was much easier than the first. Ding Huan took just one day to complete the production of Qu Yi's Spirit Root Gene Potion. ... Carrying the newly made Spirit Root Gene Potion, Ding Huan arrived at Qu Yi's sickroom. Qu Yi was noticeably much better, not only recovering bodily functions but also able to consume some liquid nutritional potions. What worried Ding Huan was that one of Qu Yi's eyes was already hollow, and the other obviously hadn't improved. "Mr. Ding, is Yi Yi alright?" Yan Quan anxiously asked from the side. Ding Huan first administered the Antidote Potion to Qu Yi, and then said, "She's fine. She needs some time to recover." "Mr. Ding, you've also been tired. You haven't rested at all these two days. Why don't you go rest now? Leave this place to us. If anything happens to Yi Yi, we will call you." Qu Yonghe well knew that since Ding Huan had arrived here, he hadn't rested even for a minute. Ding Huan said, "I'll rest here. I need to practice cultivation for a while. You all go out for now. It's best not to come in and disturb Yi Yi's recovery before I go out." Ding Huan didn't want any third party present while he merged the Spirit Root Gene Potion for Qu Yi. (Today's update ends here. Good night! The focus is still on asking for your monthly ticket support!)
