Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning

He shifted his gaze away from the egg and looked at the bone tablet. When he first obtained this item, he only briefly read through it. The item inside was all-encompassing. It was basically an encyclopedia from the Primordial Wilderness.

Now that he did not lack food, Ye Chen planned to study it carefully here.

...

What Ye Chen did not know was that while he was reading the Great Wilderness Handbook, the World Chat went completely crazy.

“We will jointly report Ye Chen. This person is extremely cold-blooded. He attacked more than 30 people without any warning.”

“Fortunately, our mutated beasts are faster. Otherwise, no one would know about this.”

“A few days ago, a secret realm appeared. Almost everyone in the area went there.”

“As for him, Ye Chen, he’s fair and clean. I didn’t expect him to have such a dark heart.”

“We thought he was weak. Let him walk behind us. If there’s danger, we’ll go.”

“However, when we took out our treasures, the Heaven-devouring Demon Clansmen immediately started killing us.”

“Blocked the entrance of the Mystic Realm and used the two Divine Beasts to force us to hand over the treasures.”

“Of course we wouldn’t listen to him. We didn’t expect him to kill us.”

“We fought to the death. Ye Chen made use of the two Divine Beasts to seize the opportunity. We were injured…”

“If not for the death of the brother who brought the heavy treasure and delayed Ye Chen’s speed, I’m afraid all of us would have died under Ye Chen.”

“There are too many of such scumbags!”

These few hundred words made Ye Chen look like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Initially, no one believed their words. They only confirmed the story after knowing that those who escaped later also spoke up.

All of a sudden, the power of public opinion fell on Ye Chen again.

“Really? Ye Chen is actually such a person?”

“Previous poster, what do you know? Don’t you know that it’s hard to read people’s minds?”

“Oh my god, I’m also in this area. Fortunately, I didn’t go there at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to send this message.”

“This is too savage. Could it be that before coming here, Ye Chen was one of them?”

“I think so. Let’s not even talk about killing someone. Even killing a chicken would look creepy to me, let alone thirty people.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

“I’ll just watch and not comment on it.”

“Observation+1.”

“There’s a problem. When Ye Chen appears, can’t you see his two Divine Beasts?”

“I was also watching. This matter is debatable.”

Rumors stopped at this position. There were still quite a few people who didn’t quite believe what that person said.

There was no reason. Ninety percent of them were killed while being in a group. This was too ridiculous.

“I’m with Ye Chen. I have something to say.”

“Ye Chen is very domineering, fierce and ruthless. He did kill so many people and all the treasures are indeed with him.”

“However, that brother from earlier spoke too much.”

“The truth is that the five of us and Ye Chen were the first people to go in.”

As this person stated the facts objectively, he didn’t say anything else.

The other three also stood up and agreed with this statement.

For a moment, there were two explanations. Those who were eating melons were more in favor of the last one.

It was because this was the strength that two Divine Beasts should have. At the same time, there were many people who despised the person who said those words.

“Big brother, that’s not right. Are you using us as cannon fodder?”

“There are really all kinds of fish in the sea. There were so many people and 80 to 90% of them were killed. Why are they only talking here?”

“If I had the ability, I would do the same thing as Ye Chen. I won’t attack unless I’m attacked.”

“Even if it’s their fault, how can Ye Chen bear to kill so many people?”

“The person above must be a girl. Don’t be a saint in the vast wilderness. What era is this? Survival is the only thing, no matter what methods you use.”

“I agree with the previous poster. In this era where people eat raw meat and drink blood, you’re talking about morals to me?” 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

“This lady is probably quite upright. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so brainless.”

Many people agreed with Ye Chen’s way of doing things. There were also quite a number of people who now accepted the survival principles of the wilderness.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

“Where’s your mother?”

As long as he lived on, there was no bottom line to speak of!

If it was during the period when he had just arrived, Ye Chen’s actions would definitely not receive support.

At that time, humans were still protected under the Protection of the Wilderness. They did not experience the feeling of survival of the fittest and survival of the wisest.

In the few days since the Protection of the vast Wilderness disappeared, some of the more powerful people had gradually adapted to this life.

Only the weak would still insist on staying in the World Chat.

At one point, you would need food and resources. Who could help you?

...

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was studying the Great Wilderness Handbook seriously in the tribe.

There was only one cultivation method recorded within, which was the forbidden cultivation method mentioned by Hei Wen. When Ye Chen read up to here, he was shocked by the various techniques within.

He really could not imagine what kind of monstrous genius would be able to think of such a method to cultivate.

It recorded the extraction of the Blood Essence of wild beasts and fierce birds, coupled with special medicines to refine the body. The stronger the beast, the greater the benefits the cultivator could obtain.

“Could this senior be a transmigrator?”

Ye Chen could not help but exclaim.

This was because it already involved genes and other advanced things. They used medicines to stimulate the Blood Essence of vicious beasts and reach the limit that the human body could bear.

Then, he would combine the medicines and inject the Blood Essence into his body to absorb it, thereby obtaining certain abilities of the vicious beast.

The specific ability depended on how much you could absorb. Although it was not a 1: 1 replication of the beast’s ability, it could be used indefinitely. There was a premise that your body could withstand it.

Ye Chen looked at the Divine Phoenix playing not far away.

As if sensing Ye Chen’s gaze, the Immortal Phoenix looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

“Master, there’s something wrong with you.”

“My instincts tell me you’re not pure right now.”

The Divine Phoenix’s voice became more and more hoarse.
