Chapter 548: 241 The so-called fate_2
Catherine said, “Why does she want to devour you?”
“Uh, this is actually sothing I didn’t want to talk about, but since it’s you, I can tell you, hoping you’ll keep it a secret for .”
Yang Ming turned over and lay on the pillow, sighing softly:
“This has to do with the nature of the Ancient Gods.
“The Ancient Gods are a mysterious cosmic species, essentially made up of countless single-celled organisms, possessing the characteristic of infinite self-replication.
“The largest Ancient God Life Form ever encountered by humans was the size of a standard planet, though of course its mass would be relatively low.”
Catherine said thoughtfully, “It’s like super cancer cells that can survive under any condition.”
Yang Ming smiled and said, “That comparison is a bit crude. Ancient Gods have self-awareness, which cancer cells do not have.”
“Alright, what then?”
“As long as cells leave the body of an Ancient God Life Form, they quickly self-destruct, and only very special thods can preserve a few clusters of Ancient God cells. This is the selfish characteristic of the Ancient Gods.”
Yang Ming continued in a softened voice:
“Genes are selfish, and the genes of the Ancient Gods are even more so; they do not allow their own genes to be separated from the self.
“I carry the genes of the Valkyrie, which is the source of my power, and she does not allow her genes to be separated from herself.
“The only outco for us both is for one side to devour the other.”
Catherine pursed her lips lightly, her eyes shining brightly, “I will help you.”
“Thanks,” Yang Ming smiled, “Actually, the best outco for
would be if the Empire didn’t interfere with my confrontation with the Valkyrie. I am fully prepared to face her.”
Catherine asked, “Like that powerful gunship before, at the cost of sacrificing your small spacecraft?”
“Yes,” Yang Ming said, “Ultimately, it’s about finding the cells the Valkyrie has hidden away. I don’t even know how many tis she has evolved to have such an abnormal survival ability… Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. I’ve told you all my secrets, so you should share so of yours to show good faith.”
“I don’t really have any secrets.”
Catherine imitated Yang Ming’s posture, lying there and looking at him.
She spoke softly, “If we’re talking about secrets, I guess there’s a bit… What do you think Supermodified people are?”
“The Empire’s blade.”
Catherine gently shook her head.
Yang Ming asked in confusion, “Then what?”
“Why the Supermodified people organization is directly subordinate to the Elder Court is actually known by very few,” Catherine spoke softly, “You’re now a mber of the Supermodified people, so I suppose I can tell you.”
Yang Ming suddenly perked up.
Catherine’s gaze held traces of recollection, as she continued softly:
“Before I turned sixteen, my world was very simple, with walls everywhere in light tones, and the people who interacted with
all wore white lab coats or thick protective suits.
“The experints on the Supermodified people are also known as the Human Limits Exploration Experint.
“Having great strength is just a ‘side effect’ of the experints, and our true mission is not necessarily to fight for the Empire.
“Do you think that the average lifespan of Supermodified people being only thirty-nine years old is because they are worn down in intense wars? Where are there so many intense wars? The most dangerous battles are just to eliminate the New Federation’s transford people agents, whose strength usually… isn’t even up to Griss’s level.”
Yang Ming frowned, “Then why? And, you said before that you could only live to the age of forty-five.”
Catherine removed her Golden Mask, and as she looked up, her long hair fell like a waterfall.
She gazed at Yang Ming, speaking softly:
“Everything is for the purpose of civilization ascending to a higher dinsion.”
Puzzlent filled Yang Ming’s eyes.
Catherine spoke softly:
“The Human Limits Exploration Experint is to seek life forms that can adapt to the high-dinsional, those of us who were cultivated from embryos, are born to seek this destiny.
“We are the pioneers of exploring the high-dinsional, and also the vessels of human hope.
“However, so far, they have only collected so data, and are unable to unlock the mystery of how to make human beings live in a high-dinsional world, but this mystery is certainly solvable.”
Yang Ming asked in astonishnt, “Are all Supermodified people related to this experint?”
“Yes,” Catherine nodded gently, “I can live to forty-five because the experint I’m involved in will start when I’m forty-five, and it’s very likely I won’t survive, but…”
“But what?”
“If I can make myself strong enough, even just lasting for one more high-dinsional coordinate point in the high-dinsional space, I can make great progress in the experint.”
Catherine sighed softly:
“So, there’s no need to feel sorry for ; everything has been predetermined since my birth, just to explore the limits of humanity.”
“This is…”
Yang Ming looked at Catherine intently, “Don’t you think there’s sothing wrong with this?”
“Thought imprinting,” Catherine said, “From a young age, we are influenced by thought imprinting, and every Supermodified person is like that… Bryant couldn’t bear this pressure, so he beca a murderous maniac. He is the most special Supermodified person, possessing strong spiritual power, and is considered a key to this experint, so he will keep living on, until his powers reach their peak.”
Catherine’s eyes were very bright, shining with calmness like a mirrored lake.
“The reason I’m telling you this is because… if you like , Hanton, if we both feel that we are suitable partners, I can spend so years with you, but I can’t give you my everything.
“They allow
to fall in love, to marry, to experience life, they also want to know if I can give birth to strong offspring.”
