After agreeing to join Pei Yan's plan, Ye Jiumu gradually calmed down and asked the concern in his heart: "Pei Yan, how confident are you about the origin conversion? Is there any danger in between?"
Pei Yan pondered for a long time before answering: "If it was before, I was only 60% confident, but now I am at least 80% confident."
"That's promising! 80% confidence is worth the risk! Should we tell Gu Chu? We haven't seen the upper team for many days, and the message from above is that they want to talk to you again after you wake up." Wang Wenze hesitated for a moment and then reminded.
"Tell them! This matter can't be hidden for long and will eventually be discovered. Rather than letting the office find out, it's better to speak frankly about it."
Two hours later, in the office of the troop.
Gu Shenghui looked at Pei Yan, who was calmly sitting in front of the conference table having dinner, and tapped on the table before asking solemnly: "If it weren't for the sudden incident with your sister, would you have failed to report this to the office?"
"Yes, at least not in the short term." Pei Yan answered vaguely, bowing his head as the sliced jellyfish crackled in his mouth.
Gu Shenghui sighed, took out a cigarette pack in front of him, and said with emotion: "Are you so disappointed in the office? Or are you so disappointed in me? Is it necessary to be this guarded?"
"Gu Chu, don't use such words to bind me. You know I still have feelings for the investigation office, but the number of people a person can genuinely trust isn't many. Unfortunately, Gu Chu, you're not on my trust list. Forgive me, but I must consider my safety and future." Pei Yan, having carefully prepared his argument, finished speaking and picked up the beverage beside him.
Seeing Pei Yan speak candidly, Gu Shenghui spread his hands and went straight to the point: "Well, then tell me, besides yourself, can other origin owners achieve this internal origin conversion ability?"
"You want to ask if Mu Fanchen can do it, right? Rest assured, he cannot perform this ability to convert internal origins to the origin. Except for the origin body girl, only a few possessing her crucial fragments can do it. Mu Fanchen still can't." Pei Yan put down the drink bottle and glanced at Gu Shenghui.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
At this time, Engineer Li, who had been listening, couldn't wait to ask: "We have also conducted experiments on internal origin conversion, but we can only achieve partial assimilation. In the end, it is diluted by new internal origins continuously pouring in. Can you tell me how you managed to completely convert a person's internal origin?"
Regarding Engineer Li's question, Pei Yan still held respect. He put down his chopsticks and explained seriously: "Because your experiment didn't perform a crucial step. The key to internal origin conversion into the origin is utilizing the power of the origin fragments to forcibly close the interdimensional passage inside the body of the ability user connecting to the internal origin, and use this closed passage as the 'seed' to transform and condense internal origins into an origin cluster. This cluster becomes the new energy source for the ability user, and from then on, this seed will continuously absorb hidden energy from this world, growing stronger, and rooting in the body, thereby making the ability user more powerful."
"Oh! I see." Engineer Li nodded in understanding and fell into thought.
"Since that's the case, let's choose a convict in the Secret Prison to conduct the experiment first." Elder Lin, who hadn't spoken, interjected.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan showed hesitation. He struggled internally since his current ability to convert internal origins to origins was limited in number, and he didn't want to waste this quota on a convict. However, considering safety, he also didn't want his companions to be the first guinea pig for experimentation, as he would feel guilty for a lifetime if something went wrong.
"No need! Pei Yan and I had agreed early on that I would be the first experimenter! I've already prepared myself!"
Wang Wenze's voice rang out beside Pei Yan, who turned to look at him and saw the worry in his eyes. Wang Wenze patted his shoulder, encouraging: "Don't think too much, I believe in you! Helping me convert would be at least ten thousand times more focused than those convicts, right?"
"Heh heh heh heh! Of course!"
Time was pressing, and as soon as the conversion matter was finalized, no further delays were made. Pei Yan, after finishing his meal, accompanied the senior members of the investigation office back into Jiezhi Space once again.
This time, the number of people coming to observe was significantly larger than last time, and someone had specially set up cameras. The focus of everyone's attention was on Wang Wenze and Pei Yan in the venue.
"Are you ready?" Pei Yan asked Wang Wenze nervously.
Equally nervous, Wang Wenze shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed: "Come on! Uh, wait, are there any important precautions?"
"Just relax, and when my origin enters your body, don't resist my power, let it convert your internal origins." Pei Yan paused here, recalling the conversation with the girl last night, spoke uncertainly: "When closing the internal origin passage for converting into the origin, it might be painful, you must endure!"
"OK! It's going to be a bit painful, right? Um, got it!" Wang Wenze nodded strongly to show composure, took a few deep breaths, slowly closed his eyes, and after calming his mind, whispered: "Come on!"
Pei Yan placed his hands on Wang Wenze's shoulders, also closed his eyes, and cautiously injected the origin into him, feeling the origin flow and assimilate within his body.
As time passed by minute by minute, more than 90% of Wang Wenze's internal origins had been assimilated by Pei Yan, the fully assimilated origin tightly encircling the passage to Wang Wenze's interdimensional source, and finally, reached the most critical step.
Pei Yan clenched his teeth, tightened his grip on Wang Wenze's shoulder, and the origin in the other's body acted like soldiers receiving orders, launching an attack on the final territory. As the origin steadily compressed and squeezed the passage within him, Wang Wenze's expression grew increasingly grim, with cold sweat drenching him, biting his lips hard as he clearly bore immense pain.
Since closing the internal origin began, only less than five minutes had passed, but it felt like an entire day and night for Pei Yan. He could feel Wang Wenze enduring pain, wanting to speed up the refining process but he couldn't. For Wang Wenze's future, he had to refine the most perfect internal origin seed.
Compression, condensation, then compress and condense again, finally forcing the closure of the internal origin passage with repeated manipulation by Pei Yan, completing 100% conversion of internal origins to the origin. What's next was to condense all the origin at the seam's opening into an origin seed.
The continuous refining process made Wang Wenze unable to bear the pain any longer, opening his mouth wide and letting out painful wails. Watching him, Liang Qian sobbed and dared not approach, only bowing her head to silently pray for him.
Ten minutes later, Pei Yan's hand lifted from Wang Wenze's shoulder, collapsing into a seat, while Wang Wenze exhaled a breath of origin energy through his mouth and collapsed weakly down.
