Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Mom rolled her eyes and said, ”At your age, isn’t this a bit corny?”

Dad, speechless, replied, ”You’re really hard to please. If I compliment you, it’s corny. If I say something else, you want to scold me. I really don’t know how to say anything right to you.”

Mom retorted, ”You’re just tired of me, aren’t you?”

Realizing that things were going off track, Dad quickly thought that at this rate, he might not even make it to bed tonight.

He hurriedly changed the topic, ”Hey, Xiaoli, are you planning not to go to the Small Magellanic Cloud anymore?”

As expected, Mom was very interested in this topic and also asked, ”Yeah, son, you made a big deal about it three days ago. Are you not going now?”

Lu Li laughed and said, ”I’ve already been there and back for a while now. I was just talking to Kexin and Shen Xia about it.”

”Huh?” Mom was slightly surprised, ”You already went and came back so quickly? I recall that the Small Magellanic Cloud is very far from Earth, supposedly about 200,000 light-years?”

At this point, she turned her head to her husband and asked, ”Old Lu, how many kilometers is 200,000 light-years? Didn’t you ask about this online before?”

Dad replied, ”One light-year is 9.461 trillion kilometers, so 200,000 light-years is 189.22 quadrillion kilometers.”

”Oh my, 189.22 quadrillion kilometers? That’s such a vast distance.” Mom looked at her son and said, ”Even traveling 100 kilometers by car takes an hour and a half, and you’ve nearly traveled 200 quadrillion kilometers in such a short time? Son, how exactly did you get there? Isn’t it said that nothing can exceed the speed of light?”

Dad was also very curious, staring intently at his son.

Lu Li patiently explained, ”189.22 quadrillion kilometers is an unimaginably great distance for any intelligent creature, but for me, it’s nothing. I can now cross over 30 million light-years in a second. As for how I got there, to be precise, I didn’t fly but directly crossed. I can’t explain it; you can think of it as a kind of Immortal Technique.”

Mom was taken aback, ”Over 30 million light-years? How many kilometers is that!”

Dad, speechless, said, ”Can you stop fixating on kilometers or not? Didn’t I just tell you that one light-year is 9.461 trillion kilometers? If you want to know how many kilometers over 30 million light-years is, just multiply it.”

Saying this, he didn’t bother calculating the kilometers for his wife but instead asked, ”Xiaoli, have you wiped out the Eternal Motion Race and destroyed the entire Small Magellanic Cloud?”

Mom attempted some mental calculations, but her mental arithmetic wasn’t strong, so it might take her a while.

Lu Li chuckled at his mom’s persistence and casually replied to his dad, ”Yeah, I’ve already wiped out the Eternal Motion Race, and the Small Magellanic Cloud has been destroyed.”

Dad, very intrigued, asked, ”Can you tell us how you wiped out the Eternal Motion Race and destroyed a Small Magellanic Cloud with a diameter of 7,000 light-years?”

Lu Li was always patient with his parents and explained in detail, ”First, I used the ’Law of Death’ to create a black ripple that instantly swept across the entire Small Magellanic Cloud, exterminating the entire Eternal Motion Race. Then, I created a Higgs Field, using the low-energy space bubble generated by the Higgs Field to disassemble everything within the Small Magellanic Cloud into atoms. That’s roughly the situation.”

Mom, who was still calculating how many kilometers over 30 million light-years was, curiously asked, ”’Law of Death’? What’s a Higgs Field, and what is a low-energy space bubble?”

Dad was also very interested, pricking up his ears to listen to his son explain.

Lu Li briefly explained, using relatively simple language, to help his parents understand what the ’Law of Death’, ’Higgs Field’, and ’low-energy space bubble’ were about.

The Higgs Field and low-energy space bubble were relatively easier to explain.

Lu Li used a few examples, and Mom and Dad understood.

As for the ’Law of Death’, it was a bit more challenging to explain.

Although it was challenging to explain, Lu Li still used a few examples.

Basically, he combined the concept of the ’Book of Life and Death’ and ’plague’ to explain.

In essence, the power of the ’Law of Death’ is like a black beam of light, instantly killing any biological entity it touches, but explaining it this way wouldn’t give Mom and Dad a detailed understanding, so Lu Li used the ’Book of Life and Death’ and ’plague’ for description.

Fortunately, Mom and Dad roughly understood.

Mom, a bit scared, said, ”Son, the power of this ’Law of Death’ is so terrifying; you must not use it recklessly. Otherwise, with so many intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy, how many would die? It’s just too sinful.”

Dad agreed, ”Those in the Eternal Motion Race shouldn’t even count as people. It doesn’t matter if they die, but the intelligent beings of our Milky Way Galaxy are real, living people. You mustn’t use that ’Law of Death’, understood?”

Dad and Mom had seen video footage of the Eternal Motion Race and had always associated them with ”filth” instead of considering them as living beings.

Moreover, the Eternal Motion Race had committed many heinous acts without declaring war on the Milky Way Galaxy, and upon hearing about their atrocities, Mom and Dad were already filled with indignation.

Lu Li, helplessly smiling, said, ”Why would I randomly use the ’Law of Death’ on the Milky Way Galaxy? I’m not that idle. Besides, it consumes energy. With that energy wasted, I’d rather do something meaningful.”

Mom said, ”That’s good, that’s good.”

Dad continued, ”By the way, what does the low-energy space bubble look like? Will Mom and I get a chance to see it?”

Lu Li said, ”You might have a chance. Shortly, the news might report it. Keep an eye on the ’River Entertainment Network’, and you might see the low-energy space bubble. I deliberately didn’t destroy it, keeping it to intimidate other intelligent species, letting them know that if anyone dares to invade the Milky Way Galaxy like the Eternal Motion Race, the low-energy space bubble would expand to cover them.”

Indeed, he deliberately didn’t destroy the low-energy space bubble to intimidate other star systems.

Otherwise, given its dangerous nature, why would he leave it after destroying the Small Magellanic Cloud?

Moreover, maintaining the low-energy space bubble consumes energy.

Why waste energy if not for deterring others?

Mom’s eyes lit up, ”We can see it on the ’River Entertainment Network’? Great, I’ll log into the ’River Entertainment Network’ now to find out more.”

Lu Li quickly stopped her, ”Don’t rush. There won’t be related news just yet. It’ll probably take more than two hours. You can watch after dinner.”

Mom said, ”Dinner is hours away. How can I wait that long?”

Dad agreed, ”Exactly, our son destroyed a dwarf star system with a diameter of 7,000 light-years, and your mom and I have been curious beyond belief, wanting to know the specific details. How can we wait until after dinner? Alright, you have fun. Your mom and I will log into the ’River Entertainment Network’ to focus on the news.”

Lu Li: ”...”

Alright then, seems like I’ll entertain myself for now.

...

Two to three hours later.

The Milky Way Galaxy, Andromeda Galaxy, Triangulum Galaxy, Local Group, and even every Star System Group or Star System Cluster in the Virgo Supercluster all erupted with activity. Every intelligent living species in the entire Virgo Supercluster was astounded by an earth-shattering piece of news!
