God's Gift

Lu Keming narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, then turned to face the door and said to Yu Youyou inside with a serious expression:

"Youyou, I have to leave for a while and go to the Abyss Factory."

"Ah?" Yu Youyou, who had just changed her clothes, heard this and ran to the door barefoot. She opened the door a crack, poked her head out, and looked up at Lu Keming.

"What happened?"

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou who poked her head out from the crack in the door. The solemnity between his brows disappeared, and a faint smile spread in his eyes. He lowered his head and replied softly:

"There's a psychic in the Abyss Factory that has undergone a mutation. I need to go check it out now."

"Psychics?" Yu Youyou opened her eyes wide, her voice full of doubt, "Aren't mutations only seen in people without psychics? Now mutations have spread to psychics?"

Lu Keming frowned slightly and said carefully:

"At first, only those without psychic powers would be transformed, then those with psychic powers who lost their psychic powers, and now those with psychic powers. The scope of the transformation is constantly expanding."

Things they thought would never happen are now happening.

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming's thoughtful expression with his eyes downcast. Her bright eyes rolled around, and she rolled her fingers on the handle with a clear and pure voice:

"My mother once said that if the human spirit cannot overcome the flesh, it will eventually be enslaved by the flesh. Is this the case now?"

Lu Keming's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Yu Youyou, and heard her continue:

"Gene mutants have their bodies and minds mutated. People without mental power have no mental power to protect them and are the first to be defeated by the mutated genes in their bodies and become monsters."

"And those who have lost their spiritual power, without the protection of their spiritual power, will soon be devoured by the mutated genes."

"Then there are the current psychics. Although they still have psychic power, perhaps the mutated genes in their bodies are even more powerful, and in the end, the body triumphs over the spirit."

Yu Youyou made a very clear analysis, "If the mutation in the body of the genetic mutant continues, then their mutated body will become stronger and stronger. As long as their mental strength becomes weaker, they will be controlled by their body."

“This is called one thing growing while the other shrinks.”

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou who was analyzing everything clearly, his eyes became more profound. After she stopped talking, he responded in a low voice:

"It is indeed as Youyou said, mental power is a protection for genetic mutants, but we did not expect that the mutation in the genetic mutants' bodies has not stopped."

"The genetic mutations caused by fire have not stopped. In the past two years, more and more ordinary humans have experienced genetic mutations."

But almost everyone believes that for those who have completed the mutation, the genes in their bodies have matured and stabilized and will not mutate further.

"Perhaps it is true as you said, the genetic mutation in the mutants is still continuing."

Yu Youyou responded and waved to Lu Keming, "Then go and take a look."

Lu Keming did not move. He stood still, staring at Yu Youyou, the light in his eyes flickering.

"Yuyu, you once mentioned the Dark Star in class. Do you know much about it?"

Or, have you seen it?

This question has a special meaning. After Lu Keming asked it, he waited quietly for Yu Youyou's reply.

Yu Youyou's expression did not change at all. Her moist eyes were clear and bright, and she answered without hesitation:

"Of course there are a lot. When I was sleeping in the sea, I heard the passing fish mention it every day. I wrote it all down."

"It's just that I slept too long, and when I woke up it was gone."

“But I don’t think it’s a good thing.”

When Lu Keming heard this, he looked up at Yu Youyou, with countless questions turning on his tongue, until he finally condensed them into one sentence: "Have you slept for too long?"

"Yes." Yu Youyou made an exaggerated gesture, "After the other gods perished, I slept for a very - very long time."

"Then why did the other gods perish?" Lu Keming's eyebrows twisted into a knot, and he asked almost immediately: "Aren't gods said to be immortal? Why did they perish? Will it have any adverse effects on you?"

Yu Youyou shook her head slowly. "Gods have existed since the day life was born on Earth. They have existed for hundreds of millions or tens of millions of years, which is almost eternal for all the finite lives in the world."

"But they don't exist forever. Just like the cells in a living body undergo metabolism, gods can also perish and be reborn."

"When the time comes, the old gods will voluntarily perish." Her voice was clear and bright, as pure as a child's. She slowly explained to Lu Keming, "Only when the old gods perish can new gods be born."

"It didn't have much of an impact on me. I just took a nap." Yu Youyou paused, then muttered in distress:

"But who knew that I would sleep so deeply that when I woke up, my body was gone and the world was torn apart."

The doubts that had been lingering in Lu Keming's heart for a long time were answered, and he whispered: "So this is why your divine power is scattered in various small worlds and why you came to this world."

Yu Youyou raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Keming, and answered honestly: "That's not the case."

After these words were spoken, Lu Keming was stunned for a second, then lowered his eyes to look at Yu Youyou, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Their eyes met, Yu Youyou's dark and moist eyes were full of sincerity, and she spoke:

"I'm here to find you."
