“You must be the one to avenge the lives of your loved ones with your own hands,” Vincent said, leading Akhenaten away from the hut. “I am only here to provide you guidance from the glorious Goddess of Light, Gaia.”“But why won’t the gods kill off the evil wolf-men?” Akhenaten asked, clearly unsatisfied with Vincent’s answer. “Why did the gods watch the orcs killed my parents and my clansmen? How could gods who stood by and watched these things happen still be called gods?”“What do you think gods are? Your servants?” Vincent turned back and looked at Akhenaten. “They gave you lives, intelligence and power. They also gave you lush lands and a world to explore. Do you still want them to watch over every second and every aspect of your lives? Fulfil your every wish and desire? You are too greedy!” Seeing that Akhenaten didn’t say anything in response, Vincent continued. “The
In the next few days, Vincent took Akhenaten to all the other few cities which the orcs had just built. He showed the boy the cities of the tigers and the leopards, which were designed like military bases. He also showed the boy the city of the foxes, which was the orcs’ largest center of commerce in the North. Then, Vincent took Akhenaten to visit the tribes of the dog-people and cat-people, which were still primitive and not yet cities.After that, he showed the boy the orcs’ farms and ranches, and told him that he could domesticate animals and raise crops too. Humans had been doing these as well, but because the South was filled with natural resources, they did not carry these processes out fully and also did not understand why they had to.In these few days, Akhenaten finally had a basic idea of how powerful the orcs were and how weak the humans were. The orcs were already an army equipped with weapons and civilization, while humans were only a group of wil
“Fetal movement undetectable. Signs of life undetectable!”“It’s not working… it failed again!”Vincent watched as the few lives that had just been born vanished before him, causing him to be very depressed. Genetically, there was nothing wrong; their life templates were complete and their designs were logical. He did not know why he kept failing over and over again.After he had begun the Immortality Gene Editing Plan, he had been trying to create an intelligent species with an extremely long lifespan. To achieve this, he had been adding sections of plant genes to existing genes of new humans.The self-repair abilities and vitality of plants far exceeded that of animals. Even if a plant was chopped up into a few pieces, as long as there were water and sunlight, it could grow out again. Whether it was underwater or on land, cold or hot, plants could be seen; they were even found in harsh environments such as dese
“What’s wrong?” Vincent asked.He had gone to the mall with Sophie and was having lunch with her, when he noticed that she looked like she wanted to say something but was holding back. Therefore, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Sophie.Sophie shook her head. “Nothing,” she said. “It’s just that every time I see you, it always feels like you have become a bit distant and unfamiliar, even though we have just met up not long ago.” Vincent knew that this was because he had been frequently entering the Scroll of Creation, where he would spend a few months each time. Whenever he met up with Sophie, only one day would have passed for her since their last date, but to Vincent, it would be a reunion after parting for a long time.“Doesn’t that make me seem more mysterious? I feel different every time!” Vincent remarked with a smile.Today, Sophie seemed to have lost her usual queen-like tem
On the bed, Phoebe clung onto Vincent’s back, her hands roaming over his lean muscles as if she was not willing to let him go. Vincent turned around and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. With their bodies touching, they stared into each other’s eyes.Phoebe grinned and said, “I kept having dreams about you after we were apart. Vincent, you’re a perfect lover to me!”“A lover? What do you mean?” Vincent immediately questioned.Phoebe smiled at once. “It means that you’re not a suitable husband or boyfriend for me. Whether it’s me, your Sophie, or your future girlfriends, we’ll all feel that you’re unreliable!”“…”Vincent suddenly remembered something. “Wait. I thought you said that your ex-boyfriend came back. So why are you here now?”Phoebe held out her right hand to show Vincent the ring on her slender finger. “That&rsqu
As he grew older and closer to death, Akhenaten became increasingly fearful. He feared the feeling of growing weak and knew that death was creeping closer and closer. Recalling his glorious life, he did not want it to end just yet.Akhenaten remembered the burly man he had encountered when he was young, the archangel Faros that had held his hand and told him he would one day become a king of mankind. He was the messenger of the gods that had given him his divine sword and godly powers, and the man who had bestowed him knowledge of the gods. Akhenaten wanted to meet the angel again. Even if he had to die, he wanted to go to the Divine Kingdom and become an immortal being like that angel!He began commissioning many temples dedicated to the Goddess of light Gaia. He became a pious believer, spending a large amount of time praying in front of the statue of Gaia every day.During the last two years of his life, he took all the gold he had accumulated and ordered the best sculptors in his
This was the second time Vincent was trying to alter his body, and he was getting more practiced at it. The biggest difficulty when it came to creating the elixir of life was solved when the elves were created. The only thing left to do was experimenting with the elixir and trying to get the success rate as high as possible.Vincent injected the elixir into his body and immediately felt his body changing. He was experiencing an immense change straight from within his genes. However, it was different this time. He was changing his entire body, not just a specific part of his body, and thus this attempt was much riskier. The elixir was not directed at altering a specific organ in his body. Instead, the elixir was made to change the very genetic components of his body, turning his genetic makeup into something akin to the elves.This transformation was much more difficult than the ones he tried out before. In the past, he could never even dream of attempting something lik
Vincent walked out from a police station in a small town in Nanyang County, Chuang Province. He had contacted a friend of his that was selling forged identities and procured a list of people who had died, but had not yet been recorded by the authorities. He highlighted a few men that was of the same age as him, then went to the cities they lived in to apply for a replacement national identification.Vincent’s method was simple. All he had to do was slightly hypnotize the officers with his mind power to take his cues, and they would approve the application. After that, the officers took new photos of Vincent and issued him the replacement national identification and the household register.He used his mind power to affect the optic nerves of the officers, then used his sub-brain to create an image that he wanted the officers to see and sent it directly into their optic nerves. Thus, whatever they were seeing through their eyes were all things that Vincent wanted t
