Luo Kai went to the balcony on the second floor and sat cross-legged under the starlight. He tried his best to relax his body and mind as he transferred his consciousness into his body.
This time, he did not look at his internal organs. He focused on the tiniest of cells.
As his life level increased, even the tiniest of cells in his mind would show a macroscopic structure.
The blood-red cell membrane was like a peeled raw egg. It looked like it would break at the slightest touch, but there was a layer of black silk covering the cell membrane. Not only did it strengthen the cell's toughness, but it also prevented foreign objects from invading.
These black webs were the countless Saint Blood Worms. They were creatures on a microscopic level, creatures that were beyond the comprehension of humans.
Of course, Luo Kai couldn't understand. According to the cult saint, Ning Huizhi, the Saint Blood Bug was the blood essence left behind by an ancient saint. This kind of thing had already transcended the concept of living things. After countless years, it was almost an immortal existence.
Luo Kai's consciousness wandered around in thought … There was no doubt that the Sacred Blood Worms were protecting him in some way.
At this moment, he noticed tiny white dots emerging from the cells. They were only one percent the size of the red blood cells. Even with Luo Kai's microscopic vision, it was difficult to see them.
These black dots emerged from the small holes in the cell wall and attached themselves to another cell. It was as if they were exchanging energy with his cell.
He muttered to himself for a moment. His consciousness followed these black dots through the cell membrane and into the cell nucleus.
It was as if he had arrived at a completely different universe. Countless small dots flashing with silver light were like the starry sky that was covered with stars, densely packed and endless. They seemed to be following some kind of mysterious law, quietly circulating and never changing.
This was the most basic DNA helix of life. Its surface was covered with a layer of colloid that emitted a silver light. He could see the double helix structure of DNA inside. They were arranged neatly, forming a twisted ladder.
When he could see through the mysteries of the microscopic world, there would be no more secrets in the macroscopic world. Now, he had finally unveiled a mysterious veil to the mysteries of life.
These spiral ladders determined the type of life. They also determined the birth and death of a human, their height, their beauty, their ugliness, and everything else. The code of life and the origin of species lay here.
He continued to pour more of his consciousness into one of the dots. Just like a normal human, he also had 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Even though he had already become a Saint, his most basic genetic sequence still hadn't changed much. It was only denser, and there were faint streams of light surrounding it. Each strand of DNA was intertwined with each other like a tightened rope.
The white dots he saw were hovering around the DNA spiral ladder, changing the inherent sequence of the DNA in some unknown way.
This process was supposed to be quick, and its nature was similar to genetic invasion. Human genes couldn't fight against genes of a higher grade.
But there was more than one thing inside him that was trying to change him and assimilate him.
The Five Elemental Energy, Baleful Energy, and Dark Energy were all trying to transform his body into a pure existence. Coupled with his powerful mind and willpower, a certain balance was reached.
How life was born had always been a great mystery. All life on Earth originated from a single cell, but how did this cell come to be? Some people believed that there were substances first in this world. Two or countless different substances coincidentally had a chemical reaction to form the first cell, thus giving birth to carbon-based life.
And cells were only the carrier of DNA. Luo Kai suddenly remembered that when the artificial intelligence in his body had identified his race, it had called him a human contaminant. This should be the reason. Some kind of existence was trying to change his inherent human genes.
All of a sudden, his consciousness shuddered, and an ice-cold thought appeared in his body, conveying a thought to Luo Kai, "Submit!"
Luo Kai's enormous mind power went up to meet it. A cold feeling surged over, and the two invisible thoughts collided.
He only felt an intense pain in his mind, as if he had been hit by a large truck. He couldn't help but interrupt the output of his mind power.
That cold thought took away control of his body in an instant. When it wanted to continue to enter his consciousness, it seemed to have felt something and slowly retreated.
Luo Kai opened his eyes and found that his body was drenched in cold sweat. He had underestimated this evil god's thought. In terms of mind power, he was far from it.
His face was ashen, and he looked inside his body again. Countless unknown white substances were gathering in his stomach, and in a short while, they formed a shiny silver sarcoma hanging in his stomach.
This thing was no longer hidden and was directly exposed in his body. It was as if a normal body had developed cancer.
To be precise, it was more like a virus that could deeply change the structure of DNA.
The birth of life was inextricably linked to viruses. Viruses didn't belong to life, but they had all the characteristics of life. They were a transitional body that transformed matter into life.
It was rumored that viruses were a key left behind by God to control the survival and destruction of all things.
Traces of cold energy fluctuations were emitted from the sarcoma, as if it was probing the state of his body.
Luo Kai's expression became even colder. He gathered all his mind power, and a silver light flashed between his brows. The Blade of Severance appeared again, and a destructive aura spread out. He sent a message to them. "This is my body. If you don't know your place, you'll be destroyed together with me!"
Like the Holy Blood Bug, this thing had fused with the cells in the deepest layer of his body. Unless he died, he couldn't get rid of it.
The silver sarcoma stopped squirming, as if it was hesitating. After a long time, it sent a message of submission.
Luo Kai suppressed the killing intent in his heart. He and the Blade of Severance had reached a state similar to that of man and sword. His consciousness could reside in it, and he wouldn't die even if he lost his body. He just didn't know what would happen if he lost his body. He had a feeling that the consequences would be severe, and he might not even be able to obtain a body in the future.
Once a soul lost the support of a body, it would become a lonely soul. The soul in the positive space was an existence abandoned by the heavens and earth. Any energy was its mortal enemy.
In the following days, Luo Kai immersed himself in exploring his body. Just like the heavens and the universe, the human body contained endless secrets.
The human body had about 20000 to 25000 genes, containing about 3.16 billion DNA base pairs.
Different sequences of each base pair would produce different effects, such as life and death, disease, strength, speed, and so on. The combinations of these sequences were almost limitless.
The evolution of life was actually to strengthen these gene chains and arrange them according to a fixed trajectory.
