Low Dimensional Game-Chapter 34 - Elixir Of Life

This was the second time Lu Zhiyu 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.

Lu Zhiyu 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 more risky. 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 like this. However, after experiencing many alterations to his body, Lu Zhiyu now had a greater understanding about the mysteries of the genes as well as what the building blocks of life entail. The skill that went into creating the elixir of life was the peak of Lu Zhiyu’s abilities!

He felt pain coursing through his body, his nervous system then shut down. Lu Zhiyu quickly laid down in the pool of nutrition liquid and almost stopped breathing. The liquid in the nutrition pool would make sure that his body would receive proper nutrition during his transformation.

Lu Zhiyu noticed that he had become thinner when he came out of the nutrition pool. His entire body felt much lighter, and his senses were heightened. His eyesight became much sharper. He took one sniff of the air and seemed to be able to distinguish various different scents that were present in the room. He felt as though he had shed a layer of skin, and was now more closely connected to the world. He knew that this ability was due to the plant genes.

Lu Zhiyu stood up, then felt as though he could not stand stably by himself. He was still not used to the changes made to his body, and his movements were restricted. He stumbled out of the tub and sat down on a nearby wheelchair. He used his mind power and got one of the ant-people push him out of the lab. Lu Zhiyu only saw how he looked like in front of a mirror in the corner of the room. He had become skinnier and his skin was soft as silk. His features had become more defined. He had undergone a huge transformation. If he was described as handsome before, he might be able to topple nations with his appearance now. Sure, those words should be used to describe beautiful women, but Lu Zhiyu was so beautiful that he might be called a demon. Lu Zhiyu had not wanted to turn himself into an elf; this was only an unintended side effect of the elixir.

Lu Zhiyu stood up, feeling the vigor of youth. He cut himself on the arm with his nails purposefully. Even the bright red blood on his pale skin looked beautiful. But within a few seconds, the wound pulled itself together and healed. “I really have such powerful regenerative ability, and have inherited the powerful life force of plants. More importantly, my circulatory system and metabolism have become more comprehensive and harmonized. My heartbeats are stronger, the energy in my blood increased and became more pure. This blood can provide my brain with a better environment and energy, making my thoughts faster and more nimble!”

Lu Zhiyu felt for his body’s vital signs. It was different from observing others. Observing himself was more delicate and accurate. Now, the most important thing:

“Sub-brain, estimate my lifespan based on my current body template!”

“Confirmed! Calculating!”

Lu Zhiyu saw the model of his body start to age in the simulation only after 900 years. His body approached its end after 1050 years in the simulation!

Lu Zhiyu was very excited. From this point on, he was no longer an ordinary human. Instead, he was now a true long-lived race. The human history was only a few thousand years. Every twenty years or so, a new generation of human could be born, yet Lu Zhiyu could live long enough to witness fifty generations. He now had a longer lifespan to achieve all of his goals and plans. He believed that with his thousand-year life, he would have no problem figuring out a way to extend his life to ten thousand, a hundred thousand or more years! In the end, even if the universe would be destroyed, Lu Zhiyu would still arrive at the eventual eternity. Even though Lu Zhiyu knew that it would not be that easy, but at this point, he knew he could continue to live on, at least until he was bored of living!

Lu Zhiyu sat on his wheelchair and went through his library. He recorded and organized all the information he had used for this experiment. After that, he checked on Yala again. The elves were still in their infancy, and were still under the ant-people’s care.

After a few days, Lu Zhiyu gradually got more used to his body. He opened the dimensional door and returned to his home world. The light in his storage room was still on. It was still dark outside, and he could see the lights of other buildings near him. It had not been long on Earth, however, it had been more than a year that he spent in Maria’s world.

Every time he came back, he felt strange, as if he was a stranger in his own world. It was more serious this time as Lu Zhiyu’s appearance had undergone a huge change. He already had difficulties using his ID in the past, now that his appearance had become more exquisite, it might become even more challenging. He would also attract too much attention.

He also knew that he would need more money and resources in the future. He had ways of getting money, but his current identity was a major limiting factor. It was probably a good time for him to get rid of the identity of Lu Zhiyu and start a new one. He would have freedom afterwards. No one would be able to track his background and his past, and he would be freed to do whatever that he desired going forward!

But Lu Zhiyu found it hard to give up his identity and name that he had used for the past twenty plus years. It represented his past and experiences.There were also his friends and classmates. Thinking about Xia Fan, Wang Yi, Li Wei, Cai Jiajia and Xiao Le, Lu Zhiyu realized that he needed more determination to to give up his past. He would have to totally end all the connections he had. All families and friends would have to be disconnected and never be part of his life again. Emotionally, Lu Zhiyu was still a normal human-being, and he hadn’t been able to give up his heart yet.

He made some dinner and watched the TV for a while, then took a shower. In the shower, he looked at himself in the mirror, at his foreign face. He touched his face, his beautifully exquisite face. He looked as though he was an angel that had descended from heaven, or an elf that had came from the forest. He might even be falling for himself.

“I have already become like this, I guess I don’t really have a choice?”
