Chapter 100: The Secret of Superpowers: Only synchronized heartbeats can ignite a new world...
Wen Yi took a step back suddenly, her fingertips clasping her chest tightly, as if something was wriggling there.
Reality hits my heart like a heavy hammer, and after the loud bang, only desolation remains in my heart.
She suddenly felt that her skin, blood, and bones no longer belonged to her. This thought made her feel confused, lost, and horrified.
"What... did you put in my body?" Her voice trembled, and she could barely hear what she was saying. "Is it your cells? Genes? Or... some kind of higher-dimensional parasite?"
"We never invaded," Mimic Wen Yi said, her voice devoid of emotion. "Seventeen billion years ago, when your ancestors were still swimming in the ocean, we had already infiltrated our 'seeds' into the dimensional rifts."
Wen Yi's breathing stopped.
1.7 billion years ago...wasn't that the time when life was just born?
It turns out they already existed.
"So... you transformed humans?" she said with difficulty.
“It’s not a transformation.”
“It’s sowing.”
"We cannot descend directly into the three-dimensional world. We can only seal the 'prototype of consciousness' within your genes."
“Wait for the seeds to sprout.”
Sealed... in genes?
Wen Yi suddenly thought of the Wen clan members and the people with special abilities scattered around the world.
Oh……
She sneered in her heart, there is no such thing as special talent or special bloodline.
It was merely a seed that had sprouted. Those various supernatural powers were, in fact, the seeds that had blossomed into a dazzling array of flowers.
"Then can I give up this power?" she asked hoarsely. "Can I rip you... out of my body?"
"Stripped?" The mimic tilted his head slightly. "No, we've already merged with your genes."
"Fusion?!" Wen Yi repeated in a daze, subconsciously clenching her fists.
"She" raised her hand, and countless particles in the void condensed into a picture - when seven-year-old Wen Yi fell from the cliff, at that moment, the power in her blood began to roar, resonating with the heaven and earth. The moment the dark blue wormhole opened, it tore through the dimensional barrier and opened the door to time and space that had been blocked for 1.7 billion years.
"That was..." Wen Yi was shocked, "When I first awakened my abilities!"
"Yes." The voice was still cold, but surprisingly contained a hint of approval. "That year, you awakened the 'us' that had been dormant in your blood."
"From that moment on, you are no longer a human being. You are the first life to perfectly 'merge' with us."
"And every time you use your ability thereafter, you will accelerate genetic recombination and further deepen the fusion."
"Why do you want to peel off?" The Mimic stared at her. "You are already the future itself."
Wen Yi took a sudden step back, a chill running down her spine. So every time she used her ability... she was... deepening the fusion?
She suddenly remembered what Wen Chi had said to her when they first came down the mountain: "Remember, talent is just talent. Only by sticking to your heart can you be yourself."
She also remembered what her father told her before he left: "You think you are in control of your destiny, but in fact... destiny has already been eroding you."
…She couldn’t understand these words at first, but now it seems that they had already noticed them, right?
"Fusion..." she muttered to herself, then suddenly changed the subject, "So you've waited 1.7 billion years, only to find me, a qualified 'vessel'?"
She raised her eyes, a sarcastic smile on her lips. "I suggest you go back and change your seeding strategy. This success rate is embarrassing for high-dimensional civilization if you tell anyone about it."
The mimic was stunned. He had been single-player for 1.7 billion years and had never suffered such a loss as never before.
But its learning module was already running, and just as it was about to respond, it was interrupted by Wen Yi.
"Um..." Wen Yi waved her hand in disdain, "Please change your expression. It's a bit uncomfortable to look at my face and talk to me."
The mimic's movements came to an abrupt halt.
It pulled its lips stiffly, and the next second, the figure turned into countless light points and dispersed, condensing into a slowly rotating ball of dark blue light, with billions of particles flowing like plankton in the deep sea.
The inhuman chorus sounded again:
"Is this okay?"
Wen Yi looked at the ball of light silently without saying anything.
She was surprised that it had so easily agreed to her request. She replayed the conversation in her mind, vaguely sensing that this highly intelligent lifeform was... unusually tolerant of her words and actions.
There was no threat, no coercion, and even when she questioned, resisted, or even ridiculed it, it never put pressure on her.
Why?
She couldn't help but guess that perhaps they had waited for more than ten billion years before finally finding a perfect container, which was as precious as a child born to a ninety-year-old man. He was afraid of dropping it if he held it in his hands, and afraid of it melting if he held it in his mouth.
In this case, as the container itself and the only variable, she should still be qualified to negotiate and compete with them.
She doesn't want to be a new human being, nor does she want to be "the future itself."
She just wants to take back control of her own body and the right to choose the future of mankind.
A faint yet sharp thought flashed through her mind, like a glimmer of light piercing the darkness. She slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the swirling blue light. Her voice, no longer trembling, now held a hint of confusion. "Since we've already merged... what would happen if I died?"
The ball of light paused slightly, as if there was a moment's delay.
"We won't let you die." The ball of light continued to flow slowly. "Not just you, we won't give up on any fusionist easily."
Wen Yi lowered her eyes and nodded inwardly, "Okay. That means I have a golden ticket to avoid death."
After a pause, she suddenly changed direction, looking a little uneasy, and said, "But I'm very stupid. What if I kill myself?"
The ball of light was silent for a few seconds before fluctuating slightly: "We cannot interfere with your consciousness."
Wen Yi felt relieved. The implication was that if you were stupid, it was your business, and they were not responsible. At least... her soul was still her own.
The light ball's tone was filled with helplessness: "Even if you really kill yourself, we will reverse the flow of your life entropy and pull you back from the brink of death."
Wen Yi: ...We don’t even have the freedom to die. It seems that this plan of fighting to the death is not feasible.
She took a deep breath and threw out the most crucial temptation:
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
The ball of light rotated slowly, as if weighing whether to reveal more.
Finally, the voice sounded again:
"You are the bridge. And the end of the bridge is not the integration of you alone."
“It’s the birth of a new world.”
Her breath hitched, and she immediately asked, "How did the new world... come into being?"
"Through you."
The light stream condensed, and a vague outline of a baby emerged in the void.
"If you fully merge, you will become the first 'complete being.' And the offspring you bear will be born with interdimensional perception.
Humanity will enter the "post-fusion era," and the boundaries between the three-dimensional world and the higher-dimensional world will become completely blurred.
Wen Yi looked quietly at the child in the light and shadow, and suddenly smiled.
She knew in her heart that they wanted more than just fusion.
It is reproduction.
Without waiting for a response, she took another step forward and continued, "Then you've trapped me here, severing my connection to reality. How can I integrate? How can I... give birth to a child for you?"
"We... have prepared a future for you." The ball of light slowly flowed. "Are you ready?"
Wen Yi closed her eyes, disdainful to answer. She wanted to see what they had "prepared" for her.
At the moment her consciousness was about to sink into the return channel, the ball of light pulsed for the last time, and a whisper sounded directly in her mind:
“Only with hearts beating in sync can we ignite the fire of a new world.”
"We will be watching you from higher dimensions of space and time."
Then, everything returned to silence.
Her consciousness calmly sank into a warm darkness.
*
When Wen Yi opened her eyes again, a familiar sweet fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose.
It’s osmanthus, autumn has arrived.
Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized that it was the smell of the old osmanthus tree in her yard.
Is this...Moon Gap Mountain?
Wen Yi sat up suddenly. Birds were singing outside the window. The morning light shone through the curtains onto the edge of the bed. She was sitting on the familiar rosewood bed.
My heart warmed, she really went home!
Wen Yi was so excited that she didn't even bother to change her clothes. She got out of bed and ran out of the house barefoot.
She couldn't wait to see her father and mother.
Her footsteps paused at the door, and she calmed down... Wait, what year is this?
She immediately turned around and ran back to the dressing table. Her face reflected in the mirror had not changed with time, and she still looked like she was in her early twenties.
From the day she stepped out of Yuexi Mountain, she has been running back and forth at countless points in time. Her age has not changed, but her eyebrows are calm and her lip lines are slightly cold, as if they have been polished by time.
She stood before the mirror, her fingertips touching her heart. Something had finally changed in her.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
It was autumn, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus was in the air, and the shadows of trees were swaying on both sides. Wen Yi walked along the bluestone path towards the main courtyard. At this time, her father would usually be there to handle family affairs.
But when she passed through the first moon-shaped door, the tribesmen who were walking towards her stopped and bowed slightly to her:
"Good morning, Master."
She was startled and nodded in response subconsciously.
The head of the family? She?
She was about to ask further questions when the man lowered his head and walked away quickly.
She continued walking, feeling a strange feeling in her heart. They had never treated her like this before.
As Wen Yi entered the main hall, an elderly deacon who had been waiting for a long time heard her coming and immediately raised his voice:
"The head of the family has arrived, everyone, let's start the meeting."
The dozen or so people who were originally talking in low voices in the courtroom immediately quieted down, waiting for Wen Yi to speak.
At the long table were either clan elders or managers of various branches—those in charge of finances, supernatural affairs, liaisons with the government, and resource allocation. They were all the people in power in the Wen family.
Wen Yi was inexplicably forced to sit at the head of the table, with a pile of documents in front of her:
"2xxx Annual Moon Gap Mountain Budget Report", "2xxx Annual Supernatural Power Research Report", "2xxx Annual Moon Gap Mountain Revenue and Expenditure Statement", "Northern Territory Resource Allocation Plan"
She stared with her eyes wide open. What were these?
She hadn't even figured out when she became the head of the family, and she was about to approve the budget? She just wanted to flip the table and run away!
She lowered her head and pretended to flip through the documents, then her pupils trembled -
can't read.
I can't understand a single word.
She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but everyone in the room was looking at her.
She managed a smile.
Don't show any weakness.
"Master?" the deacon tapped the budget report and softly reminded, "The Supernatural Research Department has requested additional funding for the 'High-Dimensional Resonance Simulation' project. Should we approve it, or reduce non-essential research expenses?"
High-dimensional resonance?
"No, research expenses must not be reduced!" Wen Yi rejected it outright.
Are you kidding? She wants to fight against a high-dimensional intelligent being. It would be better if she spends the entire clan’s budget on it!
The deacon frowned slightly, his tone filled with helplessness: "Then...we can only allocate funds from your special wedding expenses."
He sighed slightly, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Wen Yi nodded subconsciously, then suddenly looked up:
"Wedding ceremony? Whose wedding ceremony?"
The whole room was silent.
Everyone's eyes fell on her again, with subtle surprise.
"Of course it's... your wedding ceremony with Wen Chi."
