The Strongest Gene

“You want to resurrect her?” Luo Yuan’s father asked. Perhaps, as Luo Yuan’s father, he understood his son the most. There was a saying that one’s first love would always be their most beautiful memory. However, when one caused one’s first love to die, that was unforgettable. His son had always kept that event dearly in his heart.

Resurrect a human? The gods exchanged glances when they heard this. For gods, resurrection was extremely normal. They were too powerful, to the point they couldn’t be killed. At most, they would fall into a deep slumber and awaken—one could say “resurrect”—sometime in the future. As such, they were very familiar with resurrection.

As for humans? Resurrection did not seem too possible. If the human had died recently, perhaps they might be able to save her or something. But a human that had died way back then, before the descent of the primordial, during the early Genetic Era? That... was too far in the past. That human had long since thoroughly died.

Even with their mighty godly power, they would not be able to resurrect her. Oh, yeah, some people had time-traveling abilities. Perhaps if one traveled back to the past to rescue that young missy...

However, if that truly happened, how would the future, the present timeline, be affected? If that young missy had been rescued, the Luo Yuan from back then probably wouldn’t have crippled himself. The Stormtech Company that he had subsequently created probably wouldn’t have come into being. Would that Luo Yuan still have the undying will he had displayed?

This was a question nobody could answer. What about Ye? Returning to the past, back before Ye’s death...

At present, Ye was indeed thoroughly dead. However, if one dared to travel through time as one wished and Ye somehow discovered the truth... It was quite terrifying to think about what he would do. That fellow’s strength... If they met once again, perhaps even Luo Yuan himself would not have complete confidence in surviving his onslaught. And if one was unlucky enough to directly encounter the Ye of the past, they would probably directly die. As such, did he truly intend to rescue that young missy from the past? Everyone looked at Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan shook his head calmly. “No. Why would there be a need to rescue her? She does not belong to this era. All paths to the past have been sealed by me. It is no longer possible. From today onward, in this world, transmigration and time travel are impossible,” Luo Yuan coldly concluded, “regardless of the past or the future.”

“Then what do you want?” Luo Yuan’s father asked in a daze. He was of the belief that he knew his son well. Over the years, Luo Yuan had constantly been woken up by nightmares. Hadn’t each of his nightmares been about that young missy?

Had he not always wanted to return to that era, to once again return to the side of that young missy and make a different choice? Why... would he lock down all paths of time travel?

“Your insight is too narrow,” Luo Yuan said calmly. How could these idiots ever hope to understand his plan? He, Luo Yuan, had fought his entire life. Could it be merely to relive history? To return to that era he both loved and hated? How ridiculous.

“I am Luo Yuan,” he muttered.

Shua!

He stood up, surrounded by boundless power. He stared into the distance. There, a certain god was standing and observing the happenings here. Yes, he was standing there rather than kneeling. This was one of the gods that had avoided his control by severing his own limb. However, he hadn’t left. Rather, he had stayed behind hoping to know the truth. Only when Luo Yuan’s gaze landed on him did his entire body turn cold.

Luo Yuan smiled. “You should have left.”

Shua!

That god’s face fell. He immediately turned around to flee. Alas, it was too late.

Pu!

Luo Yuan flickered and reappeared behind that god. Next, blood splattered everywhere. That god couldn’t even react before he died. Everyone went cold as they saw this scene. So was this Luo Yuan’s true strength?

Bang!

After killing the god, Luo Yuan formally ascended to godhood. And thus, his already powerful strength went through another transformation.

Luo Yuan spoke softly. “Submit to me. You all, are after, my people.” His faint voice was transmitted worldwide through the wristband communicators. Nearly every life-form heard his words.

Plop.

More people knelt down on the ground, including Luo Yuan’s father. That voice seemed to be filled with a certain sense of majesty, a certain sense of awe that left nobody daring enough to not submit. At the instant those people knelt down, a boundless power of faith surged out. Instantly, the numerous life-forms of the world became the believers of Luo Yuan and Luo Yuan alone.

Bang! Bang!

Boundless faith surged out. Under the control of the wristbands, these people did not have a choice.

Even the believers of the other gods switched their belief. However, those gods could only smile bitterly. They couldn’t say anything, as even they themselves had submitted to Luo Yuan. At this instant, numerous life-forms submitted to Luo Yuan. His majesty stretched out, enveloping the entire world. This newly awakened world had instantly entered the era of Luo Yuan after experiencing the eras of Ye and Chen Feng.

Now, this was Luo Yuan’s world, Luo Yuan’s era.

Bang! Bang!

He enjoyed the surging faith. The god had he killed earlier had just been a minor god. However, in a short period of time, he reached the elementary stage, then the journeyman stage, and he was still growing. After all, the amount of faith he was gathering now was terrifying. He was gathering even more faith than Chen Feng had back then.

Luo Yuan’s father sighed. “I should have listened to him.”

“Yeah.” Some members of the senior generation shook their heads. “We made the wrong choice back then... and now we are again making the wrong choice.”

“Do we even have a choice now?” a particularly powerful old man said with a bitter smile.

A sigh resounded. “Well, we can only atone for our crimes now...”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Astonishing everyone, the few people that had been conversing suddenly exploded, their blood splattering everywhere.

Everyone’s eyes widened. This... Luo Yuan was killing again! This was too excessive! Even scarier was the fact that even his father was among those killed.

“What are you doing?”

Some were furious. They had compromised, so why was Luo Yuan still killing? Could it be that he wouldn’t let even those who had submitted to him off? If so, what was the point of submitting? And yet when they looked over at Luo Yuan, they saw that Luo Yuan was dumbstruck as well. He was drenched wet with blood, yet he stood there unmoving.

He stared at the dead in a daze and suddenly lashed out in anger. “I already have control of you all, yet you are still capable of suicide? Who gave you guys the courage to commit suicide?”

He dared not believe this. Under the control of the wristbands, they shouldn’t even be able to control their own bodies. How did they commit suicide? This should only be possible if they had prepared well in advance. They had long guessed that this would happen. And thus, something had been done in their bodies. They had been waiting for this single opportunity to die.

However, how was that supposed to be possible? He had never allowed his plan to be leaked...

Hold on.

Suddenly, Luo Yuan realized something. He looked at the various gods, the various races, and finally the humans before asking, “Has anyone seen Chen Feng?”

No response came. Not only Chen Feng, even Chen Feng’s companions had all suddenly gone missing as well.
