God's Gift

This means that the alienated people who originally lost their humanity and turned into beasts are evolving.

They are no longer beasts without any mental power, but more terrifying monsters that may possess both mental power and beast physique.

Lu Keming stared at the mutant in the isolation room, then turned his gaze to Shen Minghua. Looking at his calm face, he raised his hand and rubbed the silver dragon ring on his knuckles, and asked casually:

"This is a big deal, but you don't look nervous. Why?"

Shen Minghua listened to Lu Keming's sharp questions, shook his head and smiled, then brought Lu Keming to the front of the fire.

"This is the fire we got from the Never-Sleeping City. It is also the fire transported by this member. Although it is only a fragment, it still affects the alienation of living things."

"According to previous research data from Blue Dragon, its energy can change the genetic sequence of organisms, causing mutations. The mutated genes of humans allow humans to gain spiritual power."

“But the fire can also backfire on human spiritual power. On the surface, although spiritualists have gained huge benefits from the fire.

"But the spiritual power that spiritualists generate due to the fire will eventually be absorbed by it again. In essence, we spiritualists are its nourishment."

"It is sorting people. The genetic mutants who have gained spiritual power are the successful ones. These successful ones become its nutrients, while the unsuccessful ones become monsters."

Shen Minghua looked at the fire in the glass box, his expression darkened, "This is a huge conspiracy."

Lu Keming already knew this, and he was not very interested in what Shen Minghua said, so he spoke in a dull tone:

"Speak the key."

Shen Minghua listened to the slight impatience in Lu Keming's tone, retracted his gaze to look at him, and sighed, "You have become less and less patient in the past two years."

Lu Keming was not a person who lived in the sun. He was like a plant that lived in a damp, cold and dark place. Because of Yu Youyou's appearance, he briefly burst into life, but quickly withered because of her departure.

Shen Minghua shook his head and continued:

"We have conducted many experiments in the past two years, including isolating the fire, or letting the mutants directly contact the fire, trying to restore the mutants to human form, but without exception, they all failed."

"The fire is like an unsolvable existence. Its influence on living things is ubiquitous and unavoidable. It constantly creates mutations in living things and absorbs the mental power of the mutants to maintain its own energy."

"But this alienator gave me hope of solving this problem."

There was a hint of seriousness in Lu Keming's eyes. He folded his arms and watched Shen Minghua take out the biological specimens from the storage box.

"When this alienator was alienated, I was always beside him and witnessed the entire process of his alienation."

"He had been trying to use his mental power to suppress the changes in his body, but it seemed as if the changes in his body were fighting against his mental power. In the end, the changes in his body gained the upper hand and completely controlled him."

Lu Keming narrowed his eyes. What Yu Youyou had said in the castle before coincided with what Shen Minghua had said. He pressed his fingertips hard on the sapphire but did not respond.

Shen Minghua handed the specimen test report to Lu Keming and continued:

"I took a tissue slice from him and tested his gene sequence, and found that the gene that had already mutated had mutated again."

"And this gene mutation is not fixed. When it is close to the fire, the mutation speed will increase, and when it is far away from the fire, the mutation speed will decrease."

"The mutated genes will mutate a second time, or even a third time, a fourth time... countless times!"

"This is a historic discovery, but even more incredible is that—"

Shen Minghua looked at Lu Keming, with an expression that showed unconcealable joy.

"When I injected spiritual power into his tissue, it caused an antagonism between the spiritual power and the genetic mutation. As I increased the spiritual power injection and isolated the fire, the mutated genes began to reverse and reconstruct."

"This shows that this genetic mutation is reversible."

"As long as the influence of the fire is eliminated or the spiritual power of the alienated is strengthened, they can become human again."

At this time, Lu Keming's expression finally changed. His eyes darkened. He picked up the piece of human tissue, looked at it for a while, and then asked:

"How much mental energy is needed to reverse the genes of this tissue?"

Hearing Lu Keming's question, Shen Minghua's expression was slightly frustrated, and he responded:

“Almost half.”

It takes nearly half of the mental power of an S-level psychic to reverse the genes of a tiny piece of tissue. How much mental power is needed to reverse the genes of the entire human race?

It's almost a fantasy.

Lu Keming put down the tissue section in his hand and looked at Shen Minghua with a frown.

Shen Minghua saw the disapproval in Lu Keming's eyes and immediately said:

"If injecting spiritual power is not an option, we have another one - completely destroying the fire."

"It's just that the fire is too hard. I tried countless methods, but I couldn't shake it at all."

Shen Minghua sighed inaudibly. He knew how difficult these two paths were. "But at least it gives us hope. The mutants still have the possibility of turning back into humans."

Lu Keming looked at Shen Minghua's dejected look and snorted, "You are so worried about them, but now the people without psychic powers whom you once protected and your former supporters all regard you as an enemy."

"Don't forget, you are now the vice president of Blue Dragon. From the moment you helped Blue Dragon monitor those without psychic powers, you became a rebel in their eyes. You have no obligation to save them."

"The Capet family has become the new leader of the White Doves. They have instigated people without psychic powers and ordinary humans to throw dirty water on you everywhere, turning you into a sinner hated by both humans and gods. They have also continuously provoked disputes with the Blue Dragons."

"Instead of going out to quell the riots, you stay in this laboratory every day, researching how to save the mutants. What's the point? Can they understand your good intentions?"

Shen Minghua's breathing stagnated, and after a long while he responded, "Of course it is meaningful."

"Thousands of alienated people and their loved ones in this factory are waiting."

Lu Keming looked at Shen Minghua's saintly appearance, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

After a while, Lu Keming snorted in annoyance, walked to the fire isolation box, reached into the box, and held the fire.

Shen Minghua watched his actions with astonishment in his eyes. He was about to step forward to stop him, but he did not see Lu Keming being attacked by the fire.

Shen Minghua stopped and said in surprise: "Lu Keming, you are so capable..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Keming's fingers gradually tightened until his knuckles turned white, and a crack appeared in the fire. Then the crack continued to spread and deepen, the flame of the fire slowly went out, and the dark red raw stone in it gradually shattered.
