Chapter 2546: Perfected Heavenly Refinement

"Enough of your farce. Follow me. I am going to check your identity again," Officer Mei said to Yuan before bringing him back to the previous room to collect his blood with the machine again.

This time, there was no error, and Officer Mei could finally see Yuan’s identity.

[Name: Yuan]

[Age: ???]

[Cultivation: Third Level First Ascension]

[Physique: Perfected Heavenly Refinement]

[Credential Rank: 1]

"?!?!?"

Officer Mei’s eyes widened with shock after seeing Yuan’s information on the machine.

She rubbed her eyes a moment before looking again, as if hoping to see something different, but everything remained the same.

Although Yuan’s age being unknown was puzzling and his low cultivation was baffling, they were nothing compared to his physique.

"Perfected Heavenly Refinement?! Impossible!" she cried out loud.

"What?" Yuan raised an eyebrow at this new term.

Officer Mei turned to look at Yuan’s puzzled face and swallowed nervously.

"H-How did you achieve Perfected Heavenly Refinement?" she asked him.

"What is that?" Yuan asked, still with an eyebrow raised.

"Stop messing with me already!" she shouted in anger.

Yuan frowned. "I really am not. I have no idea what this Perfected Heavenly Refinement is."

"It is your physique!"

"Uh... Even if you ask me that, how am I supposed to explain it? And even if I could explain it, what would be the point when you do not possess the physique?"

"What nonsense are you spewing? Of course, I have the same physique," Officer Mei responded with a frown on her face.

"What?" Yuan wore a dumbfounded look after hearing her expected words.

"You... also have the Heaven Refining Physique? I thought only one person could possess it at any given moment?"

Officer Mei shook her head and sighed, "There must really be something wrong with you. Acting like you’re the only one in this world with that physique when everyone in this world possesses the Heavenly Refinement physique."

"Everyone?!" Yuan exclaimed in disbelief. "I don’t believe you. How can everyone possess such a powerful physique?"

Officer Mei shrugged, "Whether you believe it or not won’t change reality. Whatever. Don’t tell me if you don’t want to."

"..."

Yuan fell silent.

’Everyone in this world possesses the Heaven Refining Physique...? What the hell is going on?’

Suddenly—

<Lockdown has ended>

<You may return to the surface>

"It ended quite swiftly this time..." Officer Mei mumbled after seeing the same notification.

Yuan looked at her and asked, "You can also see the notifications?"

He already had a feeling that would be the case, but needed confirmation.

"Isn’t it obvious? Everyone registered in the database has access to Gaia’s System."

Yuan then asked, "Who is Gaia? Are they the Eternal who created this world?"

"Huh? What nonsense are you spewing now? Eternal? What is that?"

’Gaia isn’t an Eternal? Or maybe they’re not aware of their existence...’

"Never mind..." Yuan shook his head before asking, "So, what now?"

Officer Mei narrowed her eyes at him.

A moment later, she spoke, "Since the lockdown has ended, everyone will be returning to the surface soon. As for you... Although it’s a crime not to register in the database, there’s clearly something wrong with you... mentally. Therefore, instead of putting you in jail, I’ll recommend you for psychiatric care. Consider yourself lucky."

"Psychiatric care...?" Yuan’s jaw dropped, as he could never have imagined being put in such a position.

<Officer Mei has recommended you for Psychiatric Care>

<You must visit a Psychiatrist within 14 days or face penalties>

"Done. You may leave now."

"Just like that? But I still have some questions for you," Yuan said.

"If you have any questions, ask your psychiatrist. If you linger around any longer, I’ll throw you in jail."

With no other choice, Yuan left the room. By the time he stepped outside the station, the once-crowded streets had become completely empty, and the underground city suddenly looked like a ghost town.

"How do I return to the surface?" Yuan mumbled.

Ding.

<Return to the surface now?>

When Yuan saw the notification, he wondered if the system would teleport him back to the surface.

He tapped on ’Yes’.

<Initializing Teleportation>

<Teleporting in 3...2...1>

Yuan’s vision blurred for an instant, and before he realized, he was back inside the building he had entered with the children before arriving at the underground shelter.

"...What now?"

He still had many questions, especially about Gaia’s System.

However, he didn’t know where to start.

Then, he looked at a certain notification that wouldn’t disappear.

<Visit a Psychiatrist>

<Time Limit: 13 days, 23 hours, 55 minutes, 27 seconds>

"It’s almost like a quest... Do I really have to visit one?" he sighed out loud, wondering what sort of penalties he’d face if he disobeyed it.

"System, where can I find a Psychiatrist?" he then asked, hoping the system could hear and answer him.

<Locating nearest Psychiatrist>

<Found Psychiatrist>

<Begin Direction Assistance?>

"Wow, this thing is pretty convenient..." Yuan stared at the notifications with awe.
