Chapter 760: Chapter 760 – Awakening

The faint sunlight radiated through the window, illuminating the spacious room before him. A warm feeling surged and filled his entire body, giving his body an instinctive feeling of laziness. He felt comfortable and unconsciously wanted to have a good sleep.

Grissom woke up from his deep sleep and felt the situation on his body. He could not help but open his eyes. He was lying on a wooden bed at this moment.

There were not many decorations around him, making it look monotonous at a glance. The only advantage was that the spacious place seemed very bright, making people feel good and not tired and gloomy, at least in a small room.

Grissom looked at the scene in the room and could not help but be stunned. How many years has it been...

After meditating for a long time, Grissom could not remember the last time he left the minaret. He had never left the dark prison or the minaret, let alone slept in peace in other places.

‘The power in my body…’ Feeling the gentle sunlight around him, Grissom quickly reacted and sensed the situation in his body.

The situation immediately appeared— very weak. Grissom’s body had become incredibly weak after an experiment and did not have any strength left in his body at this moment. Even getting out of bed was difficult for him, let alone compared to before. He was completely different before the experiment.

At least before this, he could still display sufficient strength if he was ruthless enough. It was just that he would very likely fall into a desperate situation after an outburst.

However, falling into a desperate situation was much better than being in such a weak state. Nonetheless, Grissom was not sad. On the contrary, he was very excited, and his heart was filled with joy.

Lying on the wooden bed, he raised his hands with difficulty and looked at his two arms with excitement. His arms were a little different now compared to before.

Before the experiment, Grissom’s arms looked thin and dark, like the arms of an old man. However, it looked fairer and more tender now, at least not as ugly as before. It didn’t look like an old man’s arm but more like a middle-aged man’s hand.

From the calluses on his palm, it could be seen that Grissom had undergone a lot of training, so much so that he had many marks left on his body. These marks were still there and had not disappeared due to the experiment.

‘My body, my bloodline…’ Grissom’s face gradually revealed a look of joy, as if his entire body was trembling due to excessive excitement.

As for why he was so excited, the reason was simple— the bloodline in his body had already changed its appearance. If the bloodline in Grissom’s body was previously like a powder keg that could explode at any time and was supported completely by Grissom’s own will, then the situation was much better now.

The power of the bloodline was flowing. Although it still looked active and somewhat chaotic, it was much better than the previous powder keg. The chaotic bloodline in his body was now under control. Therefore, Grissom couldn’t help but feel a trace of joy as this thought flashed through his mind.

This was a pleasant surprise. Before this, Grissom had never thought that Chen Heng’s bloodline experiment would be successful, but he had agreed to try it, more or less a part of his intention to use this as a way to escape.

However, now, this experiment seemed to have achieved its intended effect. The bloodline in his body was once again controlled, and his body was no longer as chaotic as before.

The only drawback was that his strength seemed a little weak, and he was now in a state of weakness, let alone those powerful bloodlines. So even an ordinary person would be able to kill him here easily.

However, this didn’t matter. The bloodline’s power was still there, and the reason he was weak at the moment was just a side effect of the experiment that had just ended.

To ensure that the experiment would be successful, Chen Heng had thought of a way to exhaust the power in Grissom’s body, which caused his body to be empty and weak.

Nonetheless, this part of the power could be recovered. It was only a matter of time.

With Grissom’s foundation, as long as he was willing, this part of the power could be recovered speedily without needing much strength. It was like a new life.

Sitting on the wooden bed, Grissom tried his best to walk. He walked forward slowly with some difficulty. Every step seemed to use up all the strength in his body, looking extremely difficult. Finally, he walked to a mirror and saw his current appearance.

Beside the wall, a somewhat blurry glass mirror stood. Grissom’s appearance appeared in it. Grissom’s face appeared similar to the past, but there were some big differences. The most obvious difference was that he was much younger.

Previously he looked like an old man who was about to die of old age, but the current Grissom looked like a middle-aged man. Although there were still signs of aging, it was completely different from his previous appearance.

As for other aspects, it was the same. Grissom’s life had already reached its limit due to the bloodline chaos. Yet this time, the bloodline replenishment had replenished him with brand new vitality. With the steady exertion of the God of the Sun’s bloodline, there was a significant increase in his life, extended for at least a few hundred years.

A single transformation had produced such an outstanding result. Grissom stared silently at his appearance in the mirror and could not help but be stunned as if he had missed it.

There was a time when he still looked like this and was even much younger than before. However, as time passed, he lost everything during an experiment and became an old man from then on.

He once thought he would spend most of his life in a minaret like this and would just quietly die and bury the last glory of the Sun Royal Family along with himself. He never thought that the day would come when he could recover.

He could not help but smile when he thought of this, and his feelings were inexplicably complicated at this moment. There was some nostalgia but also some joy. In other words, he felt hopeful for the future compared to before.

Ta… Ta...

In the outside world, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It was the sound of someone approaching. Grissom turned around and looked outside and saw a figure.

The wooden door was pulled open with a sizzling sound. A young man came in with a smile on his face.

“Mr. Grissom.” Chen Heng walked in from the outside.

After he entered the room, he looked at Grissom before him and could not help but be stunned, but then, a smile appeared on his face, “It seems that you have recovered quite well.”

“Barely.” Grissom had a smile on his face, looking much more confident.

If it were before, he would be smiling with some reluctance, only made to comfort Chen Heng. However, his smile now came from the heart. It was the most genuine expression of his emotions.

The changes in his bloodline and physical condition also greatly impacted him. Apart from being affected by one’s circumstances, one’s emotions were also affected by the state of one’s body. Even if one’s willpower were strong enough, it would still be somewhat affected in an aging body. Many people were ambitious when they were young, but when they were old, they would shrink, which was partly the reason.

Grissom’s change at this moment was obvious. From aging to reuniting with youth, he had gained the ability to move. He looked particularly excited at this moment. Even though his body was weak now, he could not control himself and wanted to get up. He even wanted to leave the room and go out for a walk.

Chen Heng stopped Grissom’s thoughts and said, “Your body is still weak now. Therefore, it would be best to take some time before you leave this place and go for a walk. Moreover, if the council knows about your situation, it may be trouble.”

“Rest assured about that.” Grissom smiled and said, “Although I have stayed in the minaret for a long time, I still have a lot of friends in the council. My experiments failed in the past, so I naturally didn’t need their help. Now that I’ve recovered, I think it’s not a problem for me to leave this place.”

“Anyhow, what you said makes sense.” He thought for a moment and then continued, “It’s not appropriate for me to leave based on my current condition. I can only think of a way to leave after I’ve recovered a part of my strength.”

The sudden recovery of a disabled person was a curious occurrence in itself. Perhaps some people might have evil thoughts due to Grissom’s sudden recovery, especially since he was of pure royal blood.

Grissom had many friends in the King’s Council in the past, but it was hard to tell what they would think when he lacked strength. Therefore, out of caution, it was better to remain in hiding for some time.

“Kling, do you have any suggestions?” Then, after some thought, he asked Chen Heng.

He had an unusual trust towards Chen Heng because of their time together. This came from both his bloodline and the experiment this time.

“For the time being, I suggest you continue staying in the minaret, Mr. Grissom. I will dress you up as you used to be.” Chen Heng thought for a moment, then said with a smile, “While I am still here, I will try to mobilize the resources in the minaret to help you recuperate and recover some of your strength. Then, when I leave the spire and go to the council for the experiment, I will announce your death to the council.”

“Death?” Grissom was stunned for a moment and then understood Chen Heng’s meaning. He could not help but nod and praise, “It’s a rigorous plan. You’re a wise man.”

Grissom’s current situation was indeed not suitable for exposure. Staying in the minaret was a kind of protection for him, so he could not be noticed by outsiders.

When Chen Heng went to the council, everyone’s attention would probably be attracted by the Saint Child Plan, and no one would notice Grissom. So nothing would happen even if Grissom’s death were announced.

After all, although he was the previous experiment subject of the Saint Child Plan, too many years had passed. The long time was enough to wash away all impressions and make people forget his existence. At that time, even his old friends would only sigh and let it go. He could use this opportunity to leave this prison and truly be free.

“There’s nothing wrong with the plan, but...” Grissom expressed his appreciation for Chen Heng’s plan but said, “The danger of that experiment is too great. It’s not good f you join it, I’m afraid...”

The danger of the Saint Child experiment was obvious. Grissom was one of the experimental subjects, so he knew the risks very well. If possible, he did not want Chen Heng, an outstanding junior, to join the experiment. In his eyes, it was a complete gamble.

“You’re different,” Grissom said solemnly.

Although his face was still pale, one could see its majesty, “Back then, I had nothing, and my family was destroyed. So I had to give it my all for my dream. But you don’t have these burdens and are even a researcher. In my opinion, your level of bloodline research is definitely above most people in the council.

With your talent, there might be a day when you’ll be able to improve further even if you rely on yourself. So why take the risk?” He spoke solemnly.

Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart, as he sincerely agreed with Chen Heng’s level and attainments in the aspect of bloodlines. Grissom knew better than anyone how difficult the problems in his body were.

He was the royal family with the purest and rarest Sun’s bloodline. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, the King’s Council would try its best to save him. However, even if the King’s Council tried their best, they could not solve the problem on his body.

Chen Heng had a way of solving the problem that the King’s Council could not solve. This in itself already demonstrated Chen Heng’s ability. In Grissom’s opinion, Chen Heng did not need to rely on the Saint Child Plan, as his talent would suffice. Perhaps there would be a day when he would advance further. However, there was no need to take the risk.

“I understand.” Chen Heng stood where he was, listened to Grissom’s words, and smiled after silence, “It’s just that I have a reason that I have to go.”

Contrary to Grissom’s thought, Chen Heng did not want to join the Saint Child’s experiment for the sake of the experiment itself but only wanted to obtain the King’s Council’s materials for free.

For a grand experiment like the Saint Child experiment, the materials used must be terrifying, just what Chen Heng needed.
