What are you?

Such a question... is indeed easily misunderstood. But this was indeed the question that Gu Shen was very curious about.

"You're right... I am indeed curious, what am I?"

Gu Shen looked at his hands and murmured softly.

In the Sea of Consciousness, he existed in the form of a soul, but in the real world, he had perfectly merged with the body of the Divine Infant.

After learning about the existence of the "Gene Law," Gu Shen began to suspect his origins.

That time on Lintel Mountain.

He even looked for his "life pod." Unfortunately, he didn't find it.

Turing said vehemently, "As for the clan issue he is worried about, that is not the issue. It never has been... If the Azure Continent civilization is not worth protecting, then why would I be standing here?"

But Gu Shen was different from others. His Chi Huo could absorb external source matter...

...In the early stages of cultivation, for the sake of the growth of the Seven Season Wilderness, he once racked his brains to find extra extraordinary source matter.

"You should have discovered long ago that disordered source matter is ineffective against his Chi Huo, and that Chi Huo even needs to feed on extraordinary source matter," Turing said slowly. "In the extraordinary world, all rules need to be built on the foundation of 'source matter,' and his 'Chi Huo' is above the rules. As long as it is willing, it can devour all rules. That is also why Gu Xiaoman gave him the Seven Season Wilderness. In all the world, only you, Gu Shen, could afford to raise a miracle domain like the 'Seven Season Wilderness' in the early stages of extraordinary cultivation."

Xiao's birth should have been earlier than his!

S-grade ability, Chi Huo.

And at this moment, it finally formed a closed loop.

Turing teased with a slightly sarcastic tone, "He can't even be considered human. A long, long time ago, we all thought he was a freak... The reason he was able to survive was because of Zhu Shijun."

He suddenly thought of the "sense of kinship" he always inexplicably felt when he was with Gu Changzhi.

"Of course, neither is he." This sentence contains a lot of information.

"I escaped the Azure Continent through the Northern Fortress, but this was not the end of everything..."

"Gu Xiaoman eventually caught up with me. He came on behalf of the [Deep Sea] wanted order, but was eventually persuaded by me. I showed him some things from the Starship Era, as well as some of the ultimate problems that human civilization must face."

"No one is born with only a spirit." "Of course not."

The more Gu Shen listened, the more silent he became.

Turing made a pouring gesture and said softly, "So... the Azure Continent civilization's most outstanding 'gene construct' appeared. Even if it only had a portion of his Chi Huo's abilities, the Blood Fire ability could be considered an absolute S-grade. If there were no restrictions, Xiao would definitely be able to grow to the Origin stage in the future."

"Also... he." Zhu Shi was stunned.

Gu Shen frowned slightly, puzzled.

"The most successful 'creation' of the Gene Law is actually 'Xiao'," Turing said softly. "In a sense, it can also be considered a copy... Because its 'Blood Fire' is just the Ancient Text Society's imitation of 'Chi Huo.' At the time, I hoped to create a kind of 'extraordinary power' that would not be affected by extraordinary rules."

Even from this blurry image, one could see the "vitality" contained in this vast wilderness.

Turing said frankly, "That should be something even an idiot could see, right? The grave that I left behind will last longer than the Azure Continent civilization."

So fate... had already laid the groundwork many years ago.

Gu Changzhi's Gu is Zhu Shi's Gu. Many people know about this past event. The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. "You guessed most of it correctly."

If it were any other extraordinary being, they would have been drained long ago. But the swaying branches had already begun to thaw.

The information on Chi Huo was constantly being updated. Even Gu Shen himself had not fully explored this ability.

It has to be said...

That figure was none other than Gu Xiaoman!

And many years ago, he met that little girl. Zhu Shi looked at Turing and asked softly, "Is that so?"

Gu Xiaoman's back was like a golden sun. He held a small swaddled infant in his arms, which was the imprisoned Divine Infant.

"But I chose to give that 'vitality' to the dying Divine Infant at the time."

Whether it was those life pods on Lintel Mountain, or those at the bottom of the Flower Banner...

"I am able to live... because of Mr. Gu Xiaoman?" "That fire was caused by the uncontrolled 'Blood Fire'." After hearing these words, Gu Shen's mind went blank, like a bolt from the blue.

"A Divine Infant who never grows up can never become a leader."

"I suspect that I am a creation of the Azure Continent Council's 'Gene Law'."

S-grade is just the upper limit of the Council's rating, not the upper limit of the Chi Huo ability.

Turing gently waved his sleeve, summoning a mental projection in the Sea of Array Boxes.

Turing stopped speaking.

A figure stood above a giant tree, holding a swaddled infant in his arms.

A brief pause.

Turing said, "Rather than saying that we copied it, it's better to say... that I copied it."

In fact, they are all "failures" of the Azure Continent Council.

Turing revealed a cunning smile, but before Gu Shen could relax, he continued, "With the current level of civilization development in the Azure Continent, how could they possibly succeed in the Gene Law?"

"Gu Xiaoman comprehended the last scroll of the Breathing Technique, from life to death..."

"My... Chi Huo?"

And Gu Shen's Gu is Gu Xiaoman's Gu. But in fact.

He suddenly remembered that the existence of the Gene Law was told to him by Cui Zhongcheng... It was Turing who told him that this law existed, which is how he came to know about it!

And the background was the Seven Season Wilderness that Gu Shen had copied. This was a scene he had treasured for many years.

Gu Shen smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's just that the Divine Infant is simply not a product that the Azure Continent civilization can create. Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. If the Divine Infant is cultivated to adulthood, whether he would be willing to fight to protect the Azure Continent is another matter... So the very first Gene Law copied the 'Divine Infant' as a template. The Federal Government tried to create its own 'Divine Infant'."

Turing said, "It's like... his Chi Huo." Gu Shen was immediately speechless.

"I am not an Azure Continent person."

But... it was also his own story.

"In order to explore the components of 'Chi Huo,' at the beginning of Xiao's embryonic development, we separated a portion of his Chi Huo."

"The opening of the Gene Law was actually my idea. The existence of the Divine Infant, apart from a very few people, no one else knows... The reason for opening the Gene Law was because I thought the probability of the 'Divine Infant' coming alive was too small. In the Starship Civilization era, this child was already 'alive,' but his spirit and body were both imprisoned in a specific 'time.' He could not grow up and could not develop intelligence."

The source matter consumption of the Pure Land was extremely terrifying. "You..."

"So a long time ago, the Divine Infant was imprisoned in an ice chamber. The Starship Civilization froze him... because he was both powerful and fragile. Bearing the power of innate authority, yet unable to grow. The gears of fate and time constantly turned and overlapped. How long would this child have to live before he died... At least eighty years ago, the Divine Infant was already covered in death energy. Opening the Gene Law was also to borrow some power while the 'Divine Infant' was still alive."

"The more powerful the force, the easier it is to be restricted..."

Turing shook his head, "If he were perceptive enough, he might have been able to perceive the truth... Whether it's Chi Huo or Blood Fire, they will be identified as 'mental abilities' when they 'awaken'."

In the dilapidated Mulberry Continent Cave... it was Gu Changzhi who brought "himself" up.

Gu Shen was stunned.

"The Federation has always hoped that a 'savior' would appear, who could best follow the Azure Continent to escape the erosion of the source matter storm. In order to ensure that the 'savior' they created would not become the sinner who destroyed the world, they decided to activate the 'Gene Law' and keep everything firmly under their control." Gu Shen continued Turing's words, and said slowly, "So there were those life pods on Lintel Mountain and at the bottom of the Flower Banner. Besides those, there should still be many undiscovered pods in other corners... Those are the evidence that the Gene Law was carried out. It's just that this project could never have been launched for no reason... Presumably many years ago, the Federal Government had already seen a 'template,' a feasible template."

Turing lowered his eyes and said lightly, "That time on Lintel Mountain, I searched around, but found nothing... I should have searched at the bottom of the Flower Banner once as well, with the same result."

Gu Shen's heart tightened.

"It's just that... we all failed." "I... am I?"

This was actually the instinct of the Divine Infant.

At this moment, the Seven Season Wilderness was filled with flying pale snowflakes, corresponding to the last scroll of the Breathing Technique, "Great Cold."

The Azure Continent's most mysterious extraordinary ability. The Eastern Continent Council used the highest authority to block information about Gu Shen's ability.

"Finally..."

"To return to his own body." Yes, currently Chi Huo's external information is still mental-type.

Turing looked at Gu Shen and said, "From beginning to end, he is the Divine Infant, and the Divine Infant is him. When he first saw that child, did he not feel familiar? It was because of the 'vitality' given by Gu Xiaoman that he was able to survive and take over the Seven Season Wilderness so smoothly. But that was not enough to break the shackles of fate on him... To truly 'live,' he must first separate his spirit and project it into another body, breaking the 'shackles' that prevent him from growing."

Gu Shen rubbed his head and frowned, "Wait... Didn't Xiao's embryonic development not have a physical body? Also, at that time, I..."

Moreover, Ian indirectly corroborated this incident... A fire destroyed Xiao's body. After this, he frequently activated his Blood Fire ability, constantly seizing the bodies of others to reside in.

But Zhu Shi knew...

Turing sighed softly, "Blood Fire went out of control, leading to Xiao's spiritual independence. I didn't know that when Blood Fire erupted and he lost his physical body, the 'Gene Law' research had already been declared a failure. Because the purpose of the law was to find a perfect and flawless savior who could reach the 'highest' peak. How could a failure who even lost his own body reach that point?"

Turing said leisurely, "I was hunted down very miserably and embarrassedly."

He was listening to Xiao's story.

"Seventy-one years ago, [Deep Sea] launched the first Code War. As [Source Code], Chu Ling was suppressed. After the main system failed in the war, it took a bloody cleansing approach against the Ancient Text Society..."

Chi Huo is a trait-type. Rumble!

Later, the Seven Season Wilderness transformed into the Pure Land. Xiao did mention this.

Its power encompasses the elemental and mental types.

"That is the Divine Infant... A long time ago, the Divine Infant was already alive."

Zhu Shi was speechless.

"Xiao should have told him that the reason he was able to escape back then... was because there was a fire in the Ancient Text Society laboratory."
