Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

```

"From ancient times, the purple qi comes from the east... the first light before dawn... the morning spirit transforms into a phoenix body... the break of dawn greets the morning light... the bones of the phoenix proud as plum blossoms... the gall of the phoenix, a righteousness thin as the heavens...

the heart of the phoenix, brave and unyielding... the chant of the phoenix heavy as mountains... the qi of the phoenix, vast and enduring... the lament of the phoenix, from which all life springs..." Wei Wufu's voice echoed in Lin Shen's ears, this being the first time Lin Shen had heard Wei Wufu speak at such length while maintaining fluency.

That voice was sonorous and powerful, like the clashing of metal, or a stone chisel upon a stele, each word stirring the soul, making one feel it could not be obliterated.

Lin Shen understood that Wei Wufu was imparting to him the true essence of the Phoenix Purple Qi Jue, hoping that he might gain enlightenment through analogy.

Feeling the flow of strength within Wei Wufu and listening to his words, an image arose in Lin Shen's mind.

Within the darkness between heaven and earth, at the very eastern frontier where heaven meets earth, a streak of purple dawn sliced through the darkness, rising slowly with the light, contending against the sky-covering darkness.

The purple qi transformed into a phoenix that roamed freely between heaven and earth, charging fearlessly into the pitch-black void, proud but not arrogant, righteous beyond the bounds of the sky, forging ahead, valuing promises, light on life and death, and even if reduced to dust, it would leave a glimmer of light for the world.

Suddenly, Lin Shen seemed to understand why Wei Wufu's skill, the Phoenix Mystique, came with the restriction of 'fight without retreat.'

Perhaps it was not the Purple Qi Phoenix Spell that restricted Wei Wufu. Restrictions make perseverance possible, and it is perseverance that leads to restrictions. The limitation of the Phoenix Mystique is not for restricting Wei Wufu, but rather Wei Wufu's steadfastness gives the Phoenix Mystique its character.

Lin Shen seemed to suddenly realize why he could not change the Evolution Theory.

Because up to now, he had not truly grasped the true meaning of the flawed version of Evolution Theory, remaining purely on the skill level.

Wei Wufu had Lin Shen observe his practice of the Purple Qi Phoenix Spell, desiring Lin Shen to understand that the Evolution Skill had its own mood and character.

Only by understanding the mood and character of the flawed version of Evolution Theory, or rather, finding his own mood and character, would he be able to see the path ahead and might even manage to continue the latter part of the flawed Evolution Theory.

What is the mood and character of the flawed Evolution Theory? Is it the forced strengthening and mutation by the environment? Is it the self-mutation to adapt to the environment? It seems like neither; those are just on the level of skill. Lin Shen suddenly discovered that the Evolution Skill he practiced lacked mood and character, as if he was just drifting along with fate's currents.

"Become someone like Wei? I don't seem to be capable of that, I lack Wei's stubborn adherence, and I fear I will never reach his realm in this lifetime." Lin Shen pondered within his heart: "Then what kind of person am I? What do I stand for? And what are my limitations?"

His four innate skills, along with the Life Base innate skill, almost had no restrictions.

The Super Base Pattern could draw the World's Force, Super-Base Change could activate his own body, Super-Base Recast was forged a thousand times over, and the Super Base Form allowed his body to mutate.

It seemed like all of this was for making himself better, only taking from the world without giving anything back in return.

"I can't get through... I can't get through..." Lin Shen realized that he couldn't walk the path Wei had taken; from the start, he didn't possess Wei's kind of righteousness.

"Since I was able to cultivate the flawed Evolution Theory, maybe that precisely shows that some traits within me match the flawed Evolution Theory, only I am unaware of it... So what exactly are the traits within me that match the flawed Evolution Theory?" Lin Shen pondered bitterly yet still could not find the answer.

```

Suddenly, Lin Shen realized something, his eyes lighting up fiercely: "What exactly am I doing? Why am I setting limits on myself? Why should I limit Evolution Theory? There's no need, my heart is the bottom line, and since Evolution Theory has chosen me, then I am its bottom line; we have already become one in essence."

As Lin Shen's thoughts shifted, the strength within his body also began to circulate automatically, with Evolution Theory soaring freely within him.

"I was born into this world, growing by constantly taking, seemingly only taking without giving. But if you look at it from another perspective, could it be said that my very existence is a form of giving?"

A blank sheet of paper, an unused pencil, that's just a sheet of paper and a pencil.

If no one uses them, their existence itself is their purpose.

If someone picks up the pencil and writes something on the paper, both the paper and pencil will be used, seemingly just pure consumption, but isn't that also imparting a different meaning to the paper and pencil?

In the eyes of the people, taking from the world is selfish, but from the world's perspective, perhaps this is another form of imparting.

Without colors, without lines, without undulations, there is no painting; without language, without scenery, without characters, without events, there is also no story.

Different painters create different works; those pieces might be beautiful or tragic, perhaps saintly, possibly evil, but no matter what, they are no longer simply blank.

"Perhaps, just by living on, I'm already fulfilling my purpose in this world. I just need to let myself live well, live spectacularly, live freely, live out my true self, live out a unique life, and that is already my repayment to the world..." As Lin Shen's thoughts continued to move, the flow of strength within his body also sped up, seemingly in response to his thoughts.

"Yes, that's it! Why am I looking for a meaning in life? Living according to my own will is already the greatest meaning." Lin Shen felt an immense joy, as if he had thrown off his shackles.

Even the strength within his body seemed to be leaping for joy, flowing unrestrained.

Lin Shen felt that Evolution Theory was somewhat different now, but he couldn't quite articulate how it had changed.

Suddenly, the circulating strength within Lin Shen's body, after making a round, surged along the force inside Wei Wufu's body and into Wei Wufu himself.

This gave Lin Shen a fright; that was the most vulnerable part of Wei Wufu's body, and Wei Wufu was still channeling the Phoenix Purple Qi Jue. Disturbing him could have unimaginable consequences.

But now it seemed too late to stop it. Lin Shen's strength kept pouring into Wei Wufu's body ceaselessly, merging with Wei Wufu's torrent of strength and flowing continuously with it.

Lin Shen felt even more deeply the wonder of Wei Wufu's Evolution Skill, as if he were personally cultivating the "Phoenix Purple Qi Jue." Continue your journey with m|v-l'-NovelBin.net

Lin Shen grasped the mood and spirit of Wei Wufu, and the power within Wei Wufu was affected by Lin Shen's Evolution Theory, seeming to undergo some inexplicable changes.

When Lin Shen's strength returned to his body, Wei Wufu's Phoenix Purple Qi Jue also ceased to circulate.
