Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day
Chapter 575 - 457: A Presence More Terrifying Than Iron-Based Lifeforms
The remaining cosmic battleship was allowed to escape by Lu Li.
He also withdrew his "Divine Power" and returned to the super base.
All eight billion people on Earth cheered, encouraged, and celebrated.
Everyone knew that with Lu Li, the "Eternal Star Lord", guarding Earth, not only would the apocalypse not come, but a new Chapter would begin.
Today’s battle seemed to be a collision between Earth’s civilization and an alien civilization, seemingly unrelated to other civilizations.
However, when Admiral Carona, Alzado Staff Officer, and others brought the news back to the super cosmic battleship, and then the super cosmic battleship used the "Space Jump Station" to return to the Spiritual Race’s Mother Star to inform their supreme ruler, all one hundred and eight advanced civilizations of the Orion Arm Alliance were stunned!
...
The sky was so clear and blue.
The air seemed to have become incredibly fresh and pleasant with the remolding of the atmosphere.
In the core control room, Lu Li still sat on the metal chair by the window, as if he hadn’t moved an inch the whole time.
Beside him, Shen Xia looked outside, then couldn’t help but turn her gaze to Lu Li’s handsome side profile.
Since meeting Lu Li, she had always regarded him as a normal human being, never thinking of anything unusual.
Even when Lu Li transformed into a Heaven-Shocking Demon God larger than Earth to sink a peninsula, or resisted a gamma-ray burst, her perception never changed much.
In Shen Xia’s view, Lu Li was just a "person" many million times stronger than normal humans.
However, after witnessing today’s battle up close, Shen Xia realized for the first time that the "handsome guy" sitting not far from her was not actually human, but perhaps the universe’s only True God.
Deep inside, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of awe, making her reluctant to meet Lu Li’s gaze with the same directness as before.
Lu Li could naturally sense this and softly said, "You don’t need to hold me in awe like others."
Shen Xia let out an "ah" and weakly said, "You can sense what I’m thinking?"
Lu Li looked at the starry sky outside, "Not just you, I can sense the hearts of everyone in the world."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xia’s gaze at Lu Li became more complicated, and she took a deep breath before saying, "Am I special in your heart?"
"Yes." Lu Li frankly admitted, "Out of everyone I know, you’re one of the few who can still interact with me equally after knowing I possess boundless power. In you, I can sense my remaining humanity. Only my parents and girlfriend Liu Kexin are like this, even my lover Julia Giannini harbors a slight awe towards me. As my power grows stronger, I become more indifferent to life, so I cherish those around me who don’t feel awe and can treat me equally as friends or family. If even you all began to feel awe towards me, making me feel like my humanity no longer exists, to be honest, I wouldn’t know what terrible things I might do next."
Shen Xia showed a thoughtful expression and smiled playfully as she said, "In that case, I won’t follow the crowd and hold you in awe, but don’t slap me to death one day just because you’re not in a good mood."
Lu Li couldn’t help but smile, turning his head to look at her, "That’s more like it, I’ll reward you with a chocolate."
As he spoke, he extended his left hand, which was empty.
Shen Xia was just about to ask where the chocolate was when a piece of chocolate suddenly appeared in Lu Li’s palm.
Though she was amazed, considering that Lu Li could restore the atmosphere, conjuring a chocolate didn’t seem as surprising.
Shen Xia picked up the chocolate and tossed it into her mouth, chewing gently as she said, "Mmm, it’s delicious."
Lu Li smiled and said, "If you like it, I’ll conjure more for you."
"No need to make too many, a small tin will do; I’m afraid of cavities if I eat too much." Shen Xia said and curiously asked, "Did you really let the last cosmic battleship go just to send a message to the aliens?"
Lu Li shook his head and turned his gaze to the night sky, "Sending a message was one reason, but there were others as well."
Indeed, he still didn’t know the home base of these aliens, so he deliberately let one cosmic battleship escape to return to the super cosmic battleship. This way, Commander Moras would return to their mother star as soon as possible, allowing him to locate it.
...
Inside the super cosmic battleship.
After hours of flying, the first attack ship had returned.
Admiral Carona and Alzado Staff Officer immediately found Commander Moras and thoroughly recounted the events on Earth.
After hearing the story, Commander Moras, Chief Technology Officer Bella, and others all looked utterly shocked.
"Wh...what?"
"That ’monster’ isn’t dead yet?"
"The power he unleashed is stronger than a giant cannon?"
"Not only stronger than a giant cannon, didn’t you hear Carona just say that his power made the entire star system tremble?"
"No wonder a few hours ago, our super cosmic battleship shook. I thought it was hit by a cosmic wind or affected by other energy vibrations. It turns out that ’monster’ was unleashing his power."
"The most terrifying thing isn’t just his ability to unleash energy that shakes the entire star system, but creation! Didn’t Alzado just say that the ’monster’ can transform into a pure energy form and single-handedly reform the dispersed atmosphere? Our technology allows us to create an atmosphere for a planet, but not single-handedly, nor could we do it in such a short time. It requires specific conditions, several Spiritual energy years to remodel and adjust the entire planet, to give the planet an atmosphere. So, do you know what it means for him to remake the atmosphere?"
