I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 270: Gene Mutation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yes, Lin Yao’s head was hurting because of Electromagnetic Induction. This ability was very powerful and could enable Lin Yao to perceive information within a radius 10 times the radius of his mental strength and then project them into 3D images in his mind.

As this ability was really strong and Lin Yao’s brain cells were too weak, the latter could not process this huge amount of information perfectly. As a result, when it was first awakened, he had suffered from a long period of headaches.

?

At the moment, the aches had resurfaced. This time, the distance he could perceive had been doubled too. He was able to sense the information within a radius of 5.4 kilometers, which had been mapped into 3D images in his mind.

With a radius of 5.4 kilometers and a diameter of about 10 kilometers, this perceiving distance was very exaggerated. Even a genius who had awakened the perception talent might not possess Lin Yao’s wide range of perception after advancing to the gold level.

This was the strange part. At the last moment of the development, Lin Yao could sense most of the failed mutations and had coughed them out. Only his ears seemed to have mutated successfully.

‘But it is my ears that have mutated. Why did my Electromagnetic Induction improve?’

Lin Yao was baffled but he also felt somewhat thankful that both the strength of his body and brain cells had doubled… No. When his mental strength was 240 points and his range of perception 2.4 kilometers, Lin Yao’s physical strength was only Silver Body 45%. It was currently at 180%, which was three times as strong.

The increased physical strength also allowed Lin Yao’s brain cells to withstand more pressure. This was also why he didn’t become an idiot when the huge amount of information rushed into his mind.

Although he was fine, he was not spared from the pain.

‘Thankfully, it only took me one day this time. I’ll undergo another round of physical development tomorrow to increase my physical strength to 360%. That should alleviate my headache.’

As he pondered this, Lin Yao sank his mind into the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness to look at the three sacred trees and check on the changes in his Electromagnetic Induction ability.

However, Lin Yao was puzzled by what he saw. On his attribute interface, his Electromagnetic Induction was clearly at LV2!

‘It hasn’t changed one bit?’

As Lin Yao was feeling puzzled, Professor Li’s voice was heard. The signals received by Electromagnetic Induction would form 3D images in the depths of one’s mind. Lin Yao could hear the professor even if he didn’t go outside.

“I already know what will happen after three minutes of electromagnetic radiation!”

These words attracted Lin Yao’s attention, and he shifted his gaze to Professor Li.

(When he sank his mind into his consciousness, Lin Yao could still control his body, just like he had in the mirror space.)

“Professor, did you discover the reason for the change?”

“I understood something, but it’s just a conjecture. Nevertheless, I’m 80% sure that my guess is right.”

Following that, without waiting for Lin Yao to utter a word, he told him everything that he knew.

“Do you know about the rumor that although human DNA contains countless information, we have only made use of 2 to 4% of it, and the remaining part is useless junk?”

“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”

“The 2 to 4% data is wrong. Due to the limitations of technology, mankind has not discovered much information that is useful to us. However, it is true that most of the genetic information in human DNA is useless.”

At that moment, Professor Li’s stance suddenly changed.

“No, it shouldn’t be called junk. Due to the changes in the environment, humans no longer need these inherited genes.’

Professor Li didn’t say much, but Lin Yao could read between the lines. “Are you saying that during electromagnetic radiation, my cells will mutate after three minutes because genetic information has been released from my DNA and caused my body to change?”

“That’s right, and it’s not as simple as a change. Based on what I deduced, after the cells are fully activated and genetic information from your DNA is released, the cells are not only changing your body but also constantly reproducing and optimizing. The filth that you have coughed out is a product of this failed optimization.”

Upon speaking of this, Professor Li shot Lin Yao a strange glance. “Do you know something? When this type of optimization is carried out by ordinary people, only one in 10,000 of them will be benign. Many years ago, when some countries researched genes, many people died during the experiments.”

“It seems that my luck is fairly good.”

“This is not just about luck.” Upon seeing that Lin Yao was about to say something, Professor Li waved his hand. “Well, there is no need to explain. You are not the only one who can induce genes to evolve benignly. Some of the monster genes in beastified people are even stronger. When they undergo genetic mutation, there are greater chances of their body mutating toward the monster genes. One of the countries went as far as to make the beastified ones mutate but also use medicine and potions to enhance the monster genes. This is how they form their beast troops. action

“Although the research direction is different, another country also researched a medicine that could make the genes mutate benignly. There were also some people with strange and unique abilities, such as a certain country’s Son of Sun, whose luck will peak at noon. By relying on this characteristic, he would inject himself with genetic medicine at noon in order to attain superpowers.”

Upon describing these incidents, he continued speaking without giving Lin Yao a chance to interrupt.

“I’m telling you all of this because I want you to know you are not special and you don’t have to be afraid of how the country treats you. You can safely tell us about your abilities and leave the research to us. If you can provide us with specific statistics, we will be able to set up the best plan for you and you will also research on your own. The country will not force you, but I must give you a piece of advice. Never use the limit value to strengthen yourself when you are doing your own estimations. There have been many accidents during the experiments. Even the most complete, lowest-level gene medicine of some major countries only has a success rate of 90%. You have to leave some buffer to deal with changes.”

Professor Li was very sincere as he spoke, and Lin Yao’s face was blushing slightly after he listened to him.

‘My Celestial Tree is only at the gold level. This level is precious, but based on how much the country values light geniuses, this will probably earn a diamond rating. There is no shortage of diamond geniuses in China, and there are also kings who are stronger than diamond geniuses. There is no need for me to hide anything.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao revealed his abilities without much hesitation.

“My ability is light. I can absorb sunlight to strengthen and heal myself. The light I absorb has another characteristic. It allows my body to optimize continuously. It was protecting me by guiding my genetic mutation in a benign direction.”

“Light? I thought so too, and you confirmed my guess… Unfortunately, I don’t have many light geniuses here. The churches in western countries have the most research regarding this area. I heard they have even mastered turning those without any abilities into light geniuses.”

After sighing, Professor Li conducted a complete cross-examination of Lin Yao, and the careful questioning session lasted for nearly an hour. Afterward, the professor wanted Lin Yao to go through some small experiments.

However, Lin Yao rejected his idea.

“Professor, I don’t have time to do this.”

Looking at Lin Yao’s expression, he said thoughtfully, “Are you planning to go back to Ninghai?”

“Well… Right. By the way, Professor, after I return to Ninghai to pick up my parents, you can come as well. We can conduct the research together then.”

“Ha ha… You care a lot about your family. But you don’t need to go back yet.”

Lin Yao thought Professor Li would say he would take good care of his parents. Just as Lin Yao was about to decline, he heard his voice again. “The fifth spirit energy tide has occurred too suddenly. There are many powerhouses in other places who want to go home, but the country will not let them act alone. This would be a great waste of manpower.”

“But this can’t stop the people’s eagerness to return to their families.”

Upon realizing that he couldn’t persuade Lin Yao, Professor Li shook his head. “What have you learned from history? Have you forgotten the final strategy of the fourth spirit energy tide?”

Lin Yao had always been very interested in learning and acquiring knowledge, as he believed that knowledge was power. However, he had studied only physics and chemistry, so he didn’t know much about history.

He knew a bit about the history before the Spirit Energy Revival but had forgotten most of the history after the revival. At that moment, he recalled something thanks to Professor Li’s reminder.

“The fourth spirit energy tide… The points system!”
