In a quiet mountain forest out in the wilds.

Han Ning took out nineteen ingredients from his waist pouch one by one and placed them on the grass.

The little girl, Fei Lin, lay beside him, watching with curious eyes.

Egg Pancake sat squatting on the other side. A pair of curved, sharp horns flickered with bright firelight, illuminating the surrounding several hundred meters in perfect detail.

Yin Yi leaned against a tree trunk not far away, her vigilant gaze sweeping over the surroundings from time to time.

"According to the steps, first pour in 3000ml of Dark Spring, then add the Cosmic Refined Gold Powder... and finally, a drop of the Shadow Reaper’s blood."

He took out an object resembling a stone bowl. He poured the ingredients into the Stone Bowl one by one and, following the panel’s instructions, used a Stone Pestle to gently grind them.

The Heart of the One-Eyed Corpse Demon was relatively large and had to be crushed before it could be added to the mixture.

As for the Stone Bowl, Han Ning had asked Egg Pancake to make it on the spot. For the Bun Master, an Earth Type Soul Beast, creating a stone bowl was a trivial task.

As the final drop of the Shadow Reaper’s blood fell into the mixture,

the liquid before him gradually transformed from a translucent, pale black to a thick, deep black. Specks of shimmering Cosmic Refined Gold Powder floated on the surface, resembling a brilliant river of stars.

The moment this "river of stars" appeared, the little glutton Fei Lin reacted as if equipped with a high-precision radar. Her gaze snapped to the Stone Bowl, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away.

"Eeee~"

At that moment, she felt a powerful throbbing sensation originating from deep within her body.

The Abyss Potion had to be consumed in a dark room with twice the normal gravity.

Before giving Fei Lin the Abyss Potion, Han Ning directed Egg Pancake to manipulate the Earth Element and construct a small stone hut. He also prepared to use his Super Gravity Talent to increase the gravity inside.

With the Bun Master’s help, meeting these minor conditions for the bloodline Awakening was no trouble at all.

RUMBLE RUMBLE~

Massive blocks of rock rose up in an orderly fashion, gradually forming a small stone hut of about a few dozen square meters.

Sealed off from the faint sounds of nature outside, the stone hut instantly fell into an eerie silence.

It was like being in a massive, lightless, dark chamber from the Cthulhu Mythos, as if some mysterious and bizarre entity were silently watching them.

Of course, this was just Han Ning’s imagination.

He turned on his flashlight, handed the Stone Bowl containing the Abyss Potion to Fei Lin, and said, "In a moment, drink this while under the increased gravity. Don’t worry, we’ll be right here with you the whole time!"

"Eeya~" Fei Lin took the Stone Bowl and nodded, still a little dazed.

"Chirp!" Standing outside the stone hut, Egg Pancake received its master’s mental command. An earthy-yellow halo slowly coalesced around Fei Lin, and the gravity around her body changed in an instant.

The twofold gravity made Fei Lin’s body jolt, and the surface of the Abyss Potion rippled slightly.

Han Ning gave her a reassuring look, then walked to the edge of the stone hut. Using his Night Vision and Spiritual Perception, he silently watched in Fei Lin’s direction.

"Fei Lin, drink the potion."

"Eeee~"

Having been waiting impatiently, Fei Lin didn’t hesitate. She lifted the Stone Bowl and tilted her head back, pouring the liquid into her mouth.

One second, two seconds... a full half-minute passed.

In the dark environment, Han Ning could only hear their faint breathing.

Suddenly, he heard Fei Lin’s breathing in front of him grow heavy.

’It’s starting!’ Han Ning’s heart leaped into his throat.

Abruptly, a thick, pitch-black fog seemed to rise up, centered on Fei Lin and spreading for several hundred meters.

Outside, on the lawn that Han Ning couldn’t see, the faint light from the stars was completely devoured by the fog, shrouding everything in a dense blackness.

Wisps of black and grayish-white particles, nearly invisible to the naked eye, gathered from all directions and drifted around the fog.

The surroundings became terrifyingly quiet. Even the sounds of breathing and the wind vanished without a trace, plunging the area into absolute silence.

He strained to open his eyes, only to find that his vision was filled with Nothingness—neither light nor dark, neither black nor white.

He couldn’t smell anything.

He couldn’t feel the touch of the wind on his skin.

Even when Han Ning tried to breathe heavily, he couldn’t hear any sound he made.

He tried to touch his own body with his hands but could perceive no sensation from them.

It was as if he were standing utterly alone in the entire world.

The only things that could move were his thoughts and his Spiritual Power.

Only by extending his Spiritual Power outward could he discern the Dark Particles nearby, which had almost solidified.

SWOOSH~

Another ten seconds passed. The fog’s density seemed to reach its limit, and it contracted as if alive, growing smaller and smaller as it converged on Fei Lin.

Han Ning could finally see the situation clearly.

The dense black fog enveloped Fei Lin, forming a blurry, humanoid shadow.

The sight was like a person’s shadow flickering restlessly on a wall—indistinct and intangible, as if hovering between reality and illusion.

On the panel, Fei Lin’s three core stats began to rise gradually.

The column representing her Talent also started to blur.

Her body, already 1.6 meters tall, began to stretch and grow again.

It grew until she was a few centimeters taller than Han Ning before finally stopping.

Another half-minute passed. The black fog didn’t completely dissipate until Han Ning heard a slightly magnetic "ahem."

A "young woman" with a slightly different appearance from the previous Fei Lin appeared before Han Ning.

A cascade of thick, jet-black hair fell down to her waist.
