<div> Chapter 523: 521 returns one
 Yu Hong wandered around the safehouse a few times, found some paper and pen, and wrote down all his traits in Chinese characters.
 ‘Tao Breath Circulation, Underwater Breathing, Night Moth, Spiritual Sharpness, Extreme Summoning, Heart Imprint, Elf Ancient Tree’s Call, Steel Fist, Thunder Speed, Tiger Form’.
 A total of ten items.
 Among them, the most practical are Tao Breath Circulation and Thunder Speed, the others are used less frequently except for Elf Ancient Tree’s Call.
 Looking at these traits, Yu Hong pondered for a moment and closed his eyes to explore the dark space in his mind with his consciousness.
 In the dark space, the light orbs belonging to the safehouse Black Black Spirit and the summonings were in one corner. In another corner, the light was dimmer and not noticeable.
 Yu Hong had never paid attention to this place before.
 Upon closer inspection now, he discovered that there were different light clusters corresponding to each trait here.
 A total of ten light clusters, all a dull gray-white color.
 Yu Hong’s consciousness floated in front of the light clusters, and as soon as he slightly imagined touching a light cluster, he could immediately obtain the information of the trait he touched.
 He touched each one, confirming that every trait was here.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> ‘So, how to fuse them?’
 Yu Hong pondered for a moment, imagining his consciousness growing a body, growing limbs.
 Pop.
 Soon, in the dark consciousness space, a real body condensed and appeared.
 After moving his body a bit, he found that compared to reality, the body here was more flexible and reactive.
 Raising his hand, he saw that his palm was light blue, glowing with fluorescence.
 ‘Then, should I push two traits together?’
 He picked two unimportant ones at random.
 Night Moth and Underwater Breathing.
 He grabbed the light orbs of these two traits, one in each hand, and squeezed them together in the middle.
 Biu!
 The two light clusters merged seamlessly together.
 Then they became a slightly larger white light cluster.
 Soon, as Yu Hong touched it, a surge of new information flowed into his hand.
 ‘Do you want to fuse Night Moth and Underwater Breathing into one? Warning, the original traits will disappear after fusion, and the new trait may be higher or lower than the original. It cannot be changed.’
 On the light orb, a clear countdown timer appeared: 11 days, 1 hour, 13 minutes.
 Yu Hong didn’t hesitate and confirmed it in his heart.
 Exiting the consciousness space, he suppressed his curiosity and quietly continued with intense cultivation, waiting.
 Eleven days was not long for him now, so he chose another Red Training Palm Mortal Martial and continued to refine traits.
 The Black Mark continuously enhanced all martial arts’ required elixirs as well.
 Every day followed a cycle of Wanxue Palace, Life Well, and safehouse in three points and three lines.
 Soon, the enhancement time arrived.
 Yu Hong woke up early specially for this day, bathed, changed clothes, and calmed his mind, just waiting to see what trait could be fused.
 Before dawn, he sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, activated the soundproof array, and summoned Cai Jing Taoist to inspect the surroundings.
 Buzz.
 Finally, close to noon, there was a soft sound in Yu Hong’s mind.
 ‘Fusion complete. Acquired new trait—Night Breath.’
 ‘Night Breath (At nightfall, all your recovery speeds increase by 3 times, immune to all normal toxins, and have 80% resistance to extraordinary toxins. Immune to suffocation)’
 “This enhancement…amazing!” Yu Hong’s eyes widened. Previously, Night Moth only increased recovery speed by 75% and provided full toxin resistance, but now it’s a super-enhanced version.
 He immediately tried to start the fusion again.
 But…
 ‘Traits are less than ten, cannot start fusion.’ The Black Mark’s prompt came.
 ‘It seems I must maintain a full ten to be able to fuse…’
 Yu Hong suppressed his expectation and continued to patiently cultivate the newly acquired Red Training Palm.
 After fusion, he now had nine traits, so he at least needed to cultivate one more to be able to fuse again.
 From this attempt, it seems that the fusion is based on the abilities of the included traits, with enhancements and extensions added.
 Given this, Yu Hong most anticipated the fusion enhancement of Tao Breath Circulation.
 Of course, to be safe, it’s best to fuse two traits that both enhance cultivation speed, so no matter which is dominant, he can ultimately gain enhanced cultivation speed.
 For example, Thunder Speed and Tao Breath Circulation.
 In the practice of cultivation, time is immeasurable.
 While Yu Hong is devoting himself to the study of trait fusion and rapidly improving his cultivation, far across two Source Disasters, in the Hope City World.
 The sky was dark.
 Gray-black mists spread out, covering the earth.
 The Spirit Alliance’s top echelons were gathered at a location, gazing at the anomaly in the sky.
 Quan He stood at the forefront, with Qing Huang and Hope City committee member Chen Yaofeng by her side.
 Behind them stood a group of Qingchen Temple elders, including Yu Mo and Yu Hen.
 Everyone’s faces were solemn, with deep worry or anxiety in their eyes.
 “Are you sure it’s the Gate of Despair appearing in the near-earth orbit?” Quan He asked in a deep voice.
 “Confirmed, various devices linked with satellites have captured photos from different angles and sent them back. It’s 100% confirmed.” Chen Yaofeng solemnly replied, “We have already confirmed seventy-nine gates. Obviously, they didn’t open in a short time but started much earlier. It’s just that they were far from us, so we didn’t notice.”
 “Any solutions?” Quan He asked.
 “The distance is too far. Many weapons are hard to send up in time… We attempted to launch some large hydrogen bombs, but they were detonated before getting close.” Chen Yaofeng shook his head.
 “What worries me is not the Gate of Despair….” Quan He gazed at the sky, her eyes heavy.

 <div></div>
 </div> “According to the pattern, each Source Disaster is stronger than the last. We repelled it last time, and this time it’s undoubtedly far stronger. I fear that what’s coming this time won’t just be the Gate of Despair…”
 Chen Yaofeng did not speak further, as he didn’t know how to answer or solve the issue.
 The only hope now was to see if Quan He could propose a suitable solution.
 “I will….” Quan He was about to say more when her expression suddenly changed dramatically.
 “Be careful, it’s coming!!”
 She quickly raised her hand and formed a seal.
 Her hand released a burst of golden light that shot toward the sky.
 Screech!
 The golden light rushed toward the dark clouds above.
 At that moment, a colossal black meteorite suddenly burst out of the clouds.
 The meteorite nearly filled the entire sky, pushing apart all the clouds.
 The surface of the meteorite was jagged and crawling with countless wriggling Black Disaster Monsters.
 Elephant worms, speak-men, three-headed birds, Black Giants, three-eyed Black Giants, a countless number, perhaps millions, perhaps tens of millions, stretching as far as the eye could see.
 Boom!!
 Just then, the golden light launched by Quan He collided with the center of the meteorite.
 The golden light exploded, flattening into a disk with countless golden runes swirling and rotating, stirring up fierce winds all around.
 The golden disk forcefully held the enormous meteorite back.
 Quan He channeled endless power from her body into golden beams that bolstered the disk.
 Whoosh!
 The people below finally relaxed slightly, exhaling heavily.
 In that brief moment, they almost fell into despair, as the meteorite was overwhelmingly massive.
 Luckily, Quan He Monarch was there….
 Chen Yaofeng and Qing Huang, feeling relieved, couldn’t help but look at Quan He.
 But upon seeing her, their hearts sank.
 Quan He’s eyes and nose were slowly bleeding. No power was escaping her body, meaning all her strength was concentrated in the golden disk above.
 Despite this, they could see the golden disk sinking gradually.
 Crack.
 Some parts of the meteorite began to fracture, sending varying-sized fragments flying as a meteor shower across the world.
 The fragments were crawling with Black Disaster Monsters.
 Ranging from weak to strong, everything was there.
 Simultaneously, huge three-headed goddess statues with eight arms crawled out from deeper cracks in the meteorite, wearing eerie grins as they flew out.
 Each stood over a hundred meters tall, covered in patterns like porcelain cracks, trailing thick plumes of red value black smoke, shooting as hundreds of meteors relentlessly crashing into the golden disk.
 Crack.
 Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the disk.
 “Jade Pearl, with all my heart!” Quan He’s whole body burst with golden light, and a golden Jade Pendant was thrown high, transforming into a giant immortal crane fashioned from gold in mid-air.
 The immortal crane rapidly expanded, its wings spreading to nearly cover everyone’s sight.
 Buzz!
 The golden crane collided head-on with hundreds of three-headed goddess statues.
 Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
 The crane’s body released countless golden feathers that turned into blades, swiftly piercing through the goddess statues.
 Feathers and statues exploded into brilliant golden lights in the sky.
 At this moment, Quan He was taking on the enormous Black Disaster army amassed from more than seventy-nine fused Gates of Despair all by herself.
 “Another ray of light….” In a trance, a black figure resembling deadwood appeared on the surface of the giant meteorite.
 The figure wielded a staff with its legs fused to the meteorite. Beside it were innumerable pale skeletons.
 Beyond the skeletons, more three-headed goddess statues madly rushed out.
 “Destruction, unstoppable… Sorry, only through your disappearance can we survive….”
 The deadwood figure raised its staff, aiming far below at Quan He.
 “May the Holy Tower bless you….”
 Hiss.
 The tip of the staff quietly gathered a black-purple aura.
 Within the aura swirled a deeply concentrated red value energy.
 Bang!!
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> The next moment, the black-purple aura shot out violently.

 Hmm!?
 On the Mining Star.
 Yu Hong, who was immersed in cultivation in the safehouse, suddenly felt a massive surge of Spirit Light frantically pouring into his body from some unknown source.
 The previously sealed Light Well was immediately impacted by this external force, stirring restlessly from the inside and the outside.
 “Not good!” Yu Hong’s expression changed slightly. Such a situation would only arise if a significant number of the Spirit Light Seeds he had sent out were destroyed.
 This meant that the seeds he left behind might be in trouble.
 Immediately, Yu Hong put his cultivation aside, looked at the sky outside. It was still afternoon. He dashed out the door, quickly heading towards Wanxue Palace.
 No matter where the problem occurred, he must find a way to take a look!</div>
