Chapter 94 Victory is not in the future, but in the past

The capital star was still bustling at dawn, with crowded crowds and endless traffic.

Su Wudeng stood in front of the residence of the Beidi family master, the cold air penetrated her bones, and she exhaled a breath of white air.

This kind of coldness was not unfamiliar to her, and it was no different from what she had felt on the polar ice field.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young man dressed as a servant came out. He was wearing thin clothes, but he didn't seem to feel cold.

Behind him was the Beidi family master.

He greeted her in person with a gentle smile on his face, "Miss Su, please."

"I asked General Chu to invite you in the middle of the night last night. Didn't it disturb your rest?"

His attitude was unusually enthusiastic. Su Wudeng remained calm, "No."

"That's good," the Beidi family head smiled, "Come in."

Su Wudeng did not hesitate and followed him into the mansion.

The coldness in the mansion was worse than outside. It was different from the cold air from the air conditioner, but more like a bone-chilling coldness that seeped out from the bones.

When following the Beidi family head through the courtyard, Su Wudeng noticed that many clansmen were wearing thin clothes and moving around in the courtyard.

Some were pruning flowers and trees, and some were cleaning the courtyard. They looked no different from ordinary families.

But without exception, they all carried the chill of an ice-type pet.

Especially the young tribesmen, who seemed unable to control their abilities very well. A hazy white mist lingered around them, and a thin layer of frost even formed where they walked.

The head of the Beidi family silently observed Su Wudeng's expression, and when he saw a flash of surprise in her eyes, he knew that she had discovered it. A

smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a bit of pride in his eyes.

It was worth his special arrangement. No one would remain indifferent to this scene. It was undoubtedly a huge temptation for humans to be able to use the abilities of pets.

He didn't believe that Su Wudeng would not be tempted.

Once she was tempted, the matter would be half done.

Su Wudeng probably guessed the Beidi family head's plan. Brother Chu had already told her last night that the Beidi family members were able to use the abilities of ice pets.

Now he arranged for these clansmen to demonstrate in front of her, obviously wanting to use this to seduce her.

So this is the irresistible temptation he mentioned?

But the more so, the more it shows that there must be some fatal flaw behind it.

Otherwise, with the ambitions of the five major families, it would be impossible for them to be willing to lie dormant for so many years.

She is really a little curious now, what exactly is the weakness of the eternal gene?

"How about it, are you satisfied with our Beidi family?" The Beidi family head asked with a smile.

Su Wudeng came back to her senses, "Not bad."

"It is my honor to be invited to the Beidi family as a guest."

The two smiled at each other, knowing that this was just a formality.

The Beidi family head led Su Wudeng through the courtyard and came to a spacious training ground.

This was what he really wanted to show her.

In the middle of the empty field, a young man was training.

A thick chill was lingering around him, and thick frost had formed on the ground under his feet.

"This is my grandson, Beidi Minghui." A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the Beidi family head. "He is a genius that our family rarely sees in a hundred years."

Su Wudeng looked up and saw the young man wave his hands lightly, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air, like a dazzling star rain.

Then, he pointed his finger, and the ice crystals instantly turned into countless sharp ice blades, accurately smashing all the targets around the field.

"It's really amazing." Su Wudeng agreed, but was secretly amazed in his heart.

This kind of precise control is no less than that of a real ice pet.

Being able to perfectly copy the power of a pet... Is this the result of the S-level experiment ten thousand years ago? Is this the real function of the eternal gene?

However, the frost under his feet seemed a little too thick.

"Minghui, come and meet the guests." The head of the Beidi family shouted.

Beidi Minghui stopped his moves and walked towards Su Wudeng.

"I have long heard of the name of the owner Su." Bei Di Minghui's voice was gentle and polite. "I heard that the pets you brought back are very special. Do I have a chance to see them?"

This sounded like an ordinary greeting, but Su Wudeng was keenly aware of the heat in his eyes, especially when he mentioned pets, he did not hide it at all.

It was as if... he was looking forward to a sumptuous meal.

Moreover, it seemed that the coldness in his body was much weaker than when he was observing from a distance just now.

"I am just here to visit today. Next time, I will bring my pets to show to Master Minghui." Su Wudeng said with a smile.

Sure enough, Bei Di Minghui's eyes flashed with disappointment.

"Okay, don't disturb the guests." The Beidi family master spoke at the right time, "Minghui, you continue your training."

When turning around and leaving the training ground, Su Wudeng wanted to look back again, but the Beidi family master blocked his sight without leaving a trace.

"Shopkeeper Su, let's go to the study to talk."

Passing through a long corridor, the Beidi family master brought Su Wudeng to a hidden study.

"I think you have already seen it." The Beidi family master sat down in the main seat, and his voice was confident, "Our Beidi family does have some special power."

"Is this the bargaining chip for you to cooperate with me?" Su Wudeng asked back.

The Beidi family head smiled: "No, this is just the beginning." He took out a jade box, "What I want to show you is the eternal gene that allows humans to perfectly control the power of pets."

The jade box slowly opened, and a stream of blue light flowed out.

It was an ice-blue crystal placed in a small bottle, a sample of the eternal gene.

"Is this the key to your pet power?" Su Wudeng pretended to be surprised.

The Beidi family head's eyes flashed with pride, "Yes, this is the foundation of our Beidi family. With it, humans can gain real power, instead of relying on the poor imitation of those mechanical pets."

"Only power in the hands of humans is real power."

He looked at Su Wudeng meaningfully, "You know better than me how rare and precious pets are now."

"But you, owner Su, can always bring back such precious real pets. Your secret realm must be very special, right?"

He said in a tempting voice, "But that is the power of pets after all. If you can master the eternal gene, then all of this will be yours."

Finally, he got to the point.

Su Wudeng's expression did not change, but he sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, their target is the secret realm, or more precisely, the pets in the secret realm!

"It seems that if I want to obtain the eternal gene, the bargaining chip is the secret realm."

Su Wudeng showed hesitation, "But, can the eternal gene really allow humans to perfectly control the power of pets?"

"If I'm not mistaken, after Master Beidi released his ice ability, the coldness has weakened a lot."

"And," she narrowed her eyes and asked deliberately, "Since the family already has the eternal gene and the power of pets, why are you still interested in my secret realm?" "

As far as I know, the strength of the Beidi family has always been stable, and it seems that there is no plan to expand?"

"You can't say you don't want to, right?"

"Master Beidi, if you want to cooperate, you should be more honest."

A flash of surprise flashed across Master Beidi's eyes, and his expression relaxed for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Master Su is really smart."

He pondered for a moment, "Since Master Su is so honest, I might as well be frank."

"Every great power requires corresponding energy to maintain." He chose his words carefully, "Just like pets need food and rest..."

"So the Eternal Gene also needs energy to maintain?" Su Wudeng asked, "What kind of energy?"

The air was silent for a few seconds.

"Source power." Master Beidi finally spoke, "The purest power in the pet's body."

She understood, no wonder Master Beidi was so interested in the secret realm.

The eternal gene needs the power of pets to maintain it, and there are countless pets in the secret realm, with an endless supply of power, enough to support the operation of the eternal gene.

"So, this is your purpose?" She sighed, "Use the pets in the secret realm to maintain your eternal genes?"

The head of the Beidi family did not deny it, but just smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Su, you are a smart person."

"This is not just a transaction, but a win-win situation."

"Think about it, if you are willing to cooperate, you can not only get the power brought by the eternal gene, but also share the resources of our five major families."

"Are you really not tempted?"

As long as Su Wudeng nodded, she could become one of the top people in the human race, with resources, status, and power at her fingertips.

So, how could she not be tempted? The head of the Beidi family was quite confident.

Su Wudeng lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.

In this case, everything made sense, why did pets disappear, why did the ecology collapse, and why did humans fall to the point where they could only rely on mechanical pets.

Perhaps... there is more to it than what Patriarch Beidi said.

The ecology has collapsed so severely, and only a handful of the five major families have eternal genes, which means that the consumption of eternal genes is far beyond imagination.

Perhaps, the demand for source power will increase the absorption effect over time.

That would be terrifying.

She asked back: "But I'm curious, what will happen if the source power supply is insufficient?" What

if even the pets in her secret realm are gone after the source power is extracted, then what happens after that? What happens after there is no more source power?

"This question is not important." The Beidi Patriarch waved his hand.

He leaned forward, his eyes burning, "Shopkeeper Su, you haven't answered me yet, are you willing to cooperate?"

He pushed the jade box in front of Su Wudeng, "As long as you are willing, the Eternal Gene can be given to you now."

"And you, just need to tell us how to enter the secret realm."

Su Wudeng didn't look at him, her eyes fell on the jade box, then she slowly stretched out her hand and picked up the jade box containing the Eternal Gene.

"Finally made up your mind?" The Beidi Patriarch's eyes flashed with joy, in his opinion, this action was undoubtedly a promise.

Su Wudeng played with the jade box and chuckled, "Master, do you really think I'm easy to deceive?"

The smile of the Master of Beidi froze, "What do you mean?"

"Let me guess, if the source power supply is insufficient, the ability will weaken or even disappear, right?" Her voice was cold, "and as time goes by, the source power required will become more and more, and it can't be stopped at all."

The face of the Master of Beidi changed instantly.

"That's why you are so eager to find me, because the existing source power is almost insufficient." Su Wudeng continued, "and once the eternal gene goes out of control, the end result will be..."

"You five major families, the entire clan will be buried with you."

"Shut up!" The head of the Beidi family stood up suddenly, his breath rising, "So you saw through it from the beginning and you didn't intend to cooperate at all, right?"

"I just came to confirm some things." Su Wudeng looked at him calmly, "For example, why the ecology collapsed, why the five major families were willing to lie low, now I understand."

"Naive!" The head of the Beidi family smiled slyly, "Since you're here, do you think you can still get away?"

He slammed the table, and a dazzling golden light exploded in the center of the study.

The space was distorted, and a huge golden eye slowly opened, like the sun in the abyss.

Then, the huge wings that covered the sky spread out in the narrow space, and the terrifying sense of oppression instantly filled the entire space.

Su Wudeng's pupils shrank. This is...

Experimental subject E-712, codenamed "Endless"!

The experimental subject from ten thousand years ago is still alive!

And this breath is stronger and more terrifying than ten thousand years ago!

The golden giant bird looked down at Su Wudeng, bringing absolute oppression!

"Since you don't want to drink the toast, don't blame me for being rude." The head of the Beidi family sneered, "Wujin, catch her!"

No matter what method he used, he had to pry open Su Wudeng's mouth and get the way to enter the secret realm!

But he found that there was no fear on Su Wudeng's face?

How could it be possible?

This is an existence comparable to a mythical pet, which can cause absolute suppression to all creatures. How could she not be afraid?

At this moment, he saw Su Wudeng slowly raise her head, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"The next time we meet, it will be your death."

Before she finished speaking, her figure suddenly began to blur.

"What?!" The pupils of the Beidi family head shrank sharply, "Catch her for me!"

But it was too late.

At the moment when the claws of "Endless" were about to touch, Su Wudeng's figure completely disappeared from the spot.

"This... How is this possible?!" The Beidi family head looked at the empty study in disbelief, "Where is the person?!"

This teleportation ability... must be the ability of a pet.

But how could anyone other than their five major families have the ability of a pet!

"Bullshit!" The Beidi family head roared and immediately summoned his clansmen, "Chase her for me!"

"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find her!"

"No matter how strong her pet ability is, it has its limits. She can't run far!" He sneered, "Start a global search, contact the other four families, and don't let her leave the capital star!"

Half an hour later, Su Wudeng's wanted order spread throughout the capital star.

And Su Wudeng had already used the teleportation provided by the system to return to the pet family.

This was her first time using this ability, but fortunately the system was powerful enough.

She looked at the jade box in her hand. Inside was the culprit of all this, the Eternal Gene.

Soon, her optical computer received a message from Brother Chu. The message was a wanted order, and the person on the wanted order was her.

"Stealing important secrets of the five major families, endangering interstellar peace..." She looked at the wording on the wanted order and raised her eyebrows.

"This is a really big charge."

But then she sighed. The terrifying sense of oppression from the experimental subject E-712 was still lingering in her heart. That level of existence was not something she could deal with now. It

's tricky, what should I do?

Just thinking about it, the optical computer suddenly popped up a new message: "Joint announcement from the four major families: Important secrets of the Nanyan family have been stolen, and there is a bounty wanted..."

Su Wudeng's eyes quickly returned to the optical computer.

Wait, the four major families?

The Nanyan family?

Su Wudeng sat up straight abruptly.

She remembered clearly that the wanted order just now clearly mentioned the Beidi family...

However, when she opened the news about Brother Chu again, she found that the wanted order mentioned the Nanyan family.

Su Wudeng: "???"

What's going on?

She immediately searched for "Beidi family", but found that all relevant information had disappeared, as if this family had never existed.

A chill rose from the bottom of her heart, and she realized that this was definitely not a coincidence.

Su Wudeng's hands trembled a little. How could the Beidi family suddenly disappear?

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but none of them matched.

No, no!

She hurriedly checked with Brother Chu: "Brother Chu, what happened to the Beidi family? Why did all the news disappear?"

"Beidi family?" Brother Chu's news came back quickly, "What Beidi family?"

Su Wudeng's heart was pounding, and her throat felt a little dry, "It's the Beidi family, one of the five great families!"

But Brother Chu's news made her heart chill, "Hasn't the Capital Star always been one of the four major families?"

Even Brother Chu's memory has changed...

The Beidi family disappeared.

But why did it disappear suddenly?

And it disappeared so completely, without even a trace left.

It was as if it had never existed.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind,

"never existed..."

Wait, Beidi family, never existed?

"It is known that the founder of the Beidi family is Green... and in the past laboratory... due to my intervention, Green was arrested as a traitor..."

If Green died at that time...

then the Beidi family would indeed cease to exist.

Su Wudeng immediately realized that what she had done in the past had actually affected the trajectory of the future!

Green failed to survive to establish the Beidi family, so this family did not exist from the beginning!

But with the huge changes brought about by this butterfly effect, why is she the only one who still remembers the original history?

Unless it is... the pet store management system.

Perhaps, this is the answer. The system allows her to travel back and forth between the past and the future, so it also makes her immune to changes in history.

She suddenly realized a way to break the deadlock.

"Yes, the current five... four major families are extremely powerful, and they have the complete form of the experimental subject 'Endless', and they cannot be directly confronted."

What if we start from the past and change history?

Therefore, the system is the only chance to reverse the future.

Victory is not in the future, but in the past.
