Gene Activation

Seeing that Cang Yu's attention was completely drawn to the ball of light, He Xi helplessly reminded him:

"Alright, drink this first. We'll have plenty of time to study your cheat system later. The three of us still need to plan your upgrades."

Cang Yu was taken aback. Upgrade? Isn't that something you just need to accumulate resources after activating the genes?

Seeing his expression, He Xi knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him:

"You think upgrading is that simple? Those so-called 'sufficient potential and adequate resources' that can upgrade are because their genetic upgrade paths have already been perfectly designed."

"Your genes incorporate too many traits, making your upgrade process far more complex than that of ordinary people."

Currently, the three of us have only deduced up to the third-generation super soldier stage. As for your exclusive divine body... it's still just a concept.

After hearing the explanation, Cang Yu smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Indeed, compared to the insights of these three, my own understanding was as naive as playing house.

"Alright, drink up, then get familiar with your cheat system. We need to get back to working on your divine body scheme."

He Xi shoved the reagent into his hand and then turned and walked into the depths of the consciousness space.

Keisha stepped forward and gently instructed:

"Once successfully activated, you will become the first generation of super soldiers."

"However, at this stage, the abilities you can utilize, besides achieving top-tier physical attributes, are..."

Only by initially deploying the Wings of Time and Space, utilizing basic anti-void abilities, and activating the defensive characteristics of the 'Invincible Body' can one achieve this.

"You should understand that we are all on the path to becoming gods through technology. There is still a lot for you to learn..."

"Keep it up, little one," she said with a smile, a smile as warm as the sun.

After giving her instructions, Keisha turned and left gracefully. In the end, only Liang Bing remained standing there.

Cang Yu looked at her, somewhat curious about what she would say next.

Liang Bing strode forward and, without saying a word, reached out and rubbed his face:

"Ugh...!"

Seeing that she was having so much fun, Cang Yu could only make indistinct sounds.

Liang Bing burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, I've been wanting to rub your cheeks for ages! Back in your crappy world, there were too many restrictions, it wasn't fun at all!"

"And you, you better explain to me what 'smoky makeup is terribly ugly' means?"

"This is the exclusive charm of a demon queen, don't you even have any sense of aesthetics?!"

As she spoke, she vigorously ruffled his hair until Cang Yu's head was a messy, tangled mess, at which point she finally stopped, satisfied.

However, when the demon was mentioned, a complex emotion flickered imperceptibly in her eyes, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

She forced a smile and whispered, "Little brat, you're the one with the most mischievous ideas..."

If there's a chance in the future, I'll find a way out for my demons... After all, they've followed me for so long...

She stopped halfway through her sentence, shook her head, and continued:

"Forget it, these things are none of your concern. You should hurry up and become stronger! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if you couldn't even break through the Queen's defenses!"

Back to the real world

With his hair all messed up, Cang Yu rubbed his face, feeling both amused and exasperated.

As expected of Liang Bing, she really is... unconcerned with details.

(Some things within the consciousness space can affect Cang Yu in reality.)

He quickly tidied his hair, which had been ruffled by the cold ice. Just then, the dishes he had ordered were finished and brought to the table by the waiter.

However… looking at the silver-haired girl holding a plate in front of him, Cang Yu couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback.

This isn't... God King... oops, it's Riven? No, in this universe, she should be called "Rui Mengmeng".

However, he only glanced at it before looking away.

After all, even the three queens in their pajamas were still "living" in his consciousness space, so it didn't seem like there was anything to be surprised about in a little Rui Mengmeng.

Rui Mengmeng carefully placed the plate on the table and said softly, "Guest, your food is ready."

Cang Yu nodded without saying anything more.

After she turned and left, Cang Yu slowly picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the home-style dishes he had ordered.

He ate quickly, paid the bill, and left the restaurant immediately.

He then found a budget hotel nearby to stay temporarily. It was late, and he figured he'd better wait until tomorrow morning to consider such an important matter.

Once in the hotel room, Cang Yu finally had a chance to calm down and carefully examine the gene serum that He Xi had given him, as well as the "golden finger" bestowed upon him by the planet's will.

He stared at the potion in his hand, its black, blue, and gold colors intertwined and shimmering with light. This time, without hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

He wasn't worried about whether the awakening process would cause any unusual noises that would attract attention.

He believed that, given the experience and shrewdness of those three, since they hadn't specifically mentioned it, either they had already prepared a way to cover it up, or they had their own plans.

The medicine didn't feel special when it first entered my mouth; it was as if I had just drunk a mouthful of spring water.

However, just a few seconds later

A surge of hot, yet painless energy erupted from his heart, like a surging torrent, washing over every vein and every cell.

He could clearly feel his body undergoing tremendous changes.

A sense of power surged forth at an unprecedented speed, and the five senses became extremely acute, even to the point that one could "hear" the subtle sounds of one's own cells dividing and strengthening.

At the same time, the sphere of light that had been hovering in his consciousness seemed to be activated.

Transforming into countless warm points of light, they merge into this torrent of evolution, bringing an indescribable sense of peace and stability, as if providing the most solid foundation for this dramatic evolution.

The whole process lasted about ten minutes. When everything calmed down, Cang Yu slowly opened his eyes.

He clenched his fist lightly, feeling a power far greater than before. His body felt so light that he seemed to defy gravity, and his thoughts moved at an astonishing speed.

With a slight thought, a pair of shimmering golden wings unfurled behind him.

Cang Yu was taken aback. Gilded gold? He had expected it to be pure white wings like an angel's or black wings like Ge Xiaolun's.

However, the gilded gold color is actually more beautiful.

Feeling himself completely different from before, Cang Yu couldn't help but whisper:

"Is this... the power of a super soldier?"

But soon, he calmed down. Just as Keisha had said, this was only the beginning; he still had a lot to learn.

Cang Yu shifted his attention to the cheat system.

And within his consciousness space

The three were currently studying Cang Yu's path to divine body, and upon sensing that Cang Yu had already activated his genes, they all smiled.
