Chapter 63: Chapter 63: The Divine Human · Ruler of Utopia

Gu Shanhai had indeed considered researching the phenomenon, but after hearing the warning from the Maneki-neko, he lost the interest.

One of his strengths was that he listened to advice. No matter what the other person’s intention was, there was no need to stir up trouble intentionally. Besides, the other person had said not to research the serum itself, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t study the finished product.

When the time came, he could simply borrow some samples from He Lingyun, and then he would likely reap even greater benefits.

By the time Gu Shanhai arrived at the dormitory building where He Lingyun was staying, the place was in utter chaos, and He Lingyun himself had passed out. The muscles under the surface of his skin were writhing, and his bones were even shifting out of place.

He Lingyun had awakened a single ability, yes, and luckily, this ability was not one that enhanced his body but was more akin to a certain cause and effect, indirectly ensuring his survival. However, this ability was indeed too outrageous, causing the awakening to constantly integrate with his body.

In other words, he was still in the process of acquiring the ability. If the acquisition succeeded, naturally there would be no problem, but if it failed, he would be done for.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai had no choice but to take out a vial of the superpower awakening serum and injected it directly into him.

With the injection of the serum, the strange phenomena quickly vanished, and even the high temperature on his body gradually subsided.

"This stuff really works wonders," Gu Shanhai said, looking at the unconscious He Lingyun, and then started thinking about what to do next.

Multiple abilities, eh? Aside from guaranteeing one hundred percent success on examinations, he might gain other, even more outrageous abilities.

Gu Shanhai knew the value of the superpower awakening serum vial well—it was probably made using a complete core of an ability, and it might even enhance He Lingyun’s original ability to pass exams with one hundred percent success.

Half an hour slipped by, and He Lingyun slowly came to. On seeing Gu Shanhai, he seemed not at all surprised but instead said calmly, "I know, you want to say you’re a Terminator from the future, here to help me, the Savior, save the world."

"???" Gu Shanhai was stunned. He hadn’t even started his pitch yet. How did the other guy know what he was going to say next?

But Gu Shanhai was seasoned in such matters and calmly asked, "Future sight?"

"Close enough. The superpower awakening serum you injected me with has awakened multiple abilities in me, in addition to the ability to ace exams that you know of, and a few others," He Lingyun said somewhat vaguely.

Gu Shanhai didn’t ask further; he felt that He Lingyun had changed massively.

"Iron-blood Utopia and Demiurge, what do you think?"

"Alright, I know, you want to say just watch, what else can we do."

He Lingyun answered his own question.

"I know, I will handle it next. Reversing time is impossible; I don’t have that ability. The ability to ace exams didn’t provide an answer either; I’ve tried."

"So, we have to rebuild."

Listening to He Lingyun ramble on, Gu Shanhai frowned. Great, with future sight combined with his proficiency in exams and some unknown ability, He Lingyun seemed to know what he wanted to ask without him even speaking, as well as the solution.

"Where did you get this serum from? Why can’t I analyze it, and its source... seems to come out of nowhere, with no trace at all. Are you saying a higher entity gave it to me?"

"I won’t get hit; I’ll beat them to it first."

He Lingyun said earnestly.

Gu Shanhai wanted to say how annoying it was for him to anticipate his words; it made him an easy target, but it seemed He Lingyun already knew what he was going to say.

And from the other’s words, not only did he have future sight, but it seemed he could also trace origins—past sight? Or was it more straightforward like past and future sight?

"Okay, stop guessing. We still have things to do. You want an easy win, right? You’re supposedly here to assist me. I may be a bit too extraordinary, but I am just one person after all. The Sacred Federation now has so few people left; if you don’t go, who will?"

"Players? Indeed, they would be a fresh force, but players are not my own people, after all."

Gu Shanhai felt a headache dealing with someone who had accurate future sight.

As for mind-reading, Gu Shanhai didn’t believe that He Lingyun could read his mind. With his True Spirit at stake, if it were the Maneki-neko, maybe, but definitely not He Lingyun. After all... he had been cursing in his head for quite a while, and if He Lingyun really knew, he would have called him out on it by now.

Moreover, if such a high-end superpower awakening serum had only awakened the ability to read minds, that would have been very disappointing.

"Alright, I know you’re not great without abilities, but you’re strong, aren’t you? I can give you a sample of mine; that should do, and you can mix in an enhanced version of multiple abilities."

With future sight, He Lingyun realized that Gu Shanhai indeed lacked motivation. Eventually, using the ability to ace exams, he calculated Gu Shanhai’s needs. Of course, He Lingyun was using his ability not only to exploit Gu Shanhai’s help but also continuously planning what to do next.

With future sight, there was no need to activate the ability; he could directly get the answers he needed for the present in the future.

These two abilities combined seemed almost omniscient. Of course, that was just seeming and almost; there was still a huge difference from true omniscience.

"Fine, if you agree, then it’s settled. I’ll give it to you first, and we can go into action immediately." Without any hesitation, He Lingyun broke off his little finger and threw it to Gu Shanhai, and then the flesh and bones at the site of the severed finger began to regenerate: "If it’s not enough, come back for more. This thing has a lot of activity and can last a long time if stored properly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little finger had regenerated.

"Okay, I know you’re annoyed that I keep shutting you up with my words. Later on, we’ll split up. You can help me with a few things. I’ll write you a plan."

He Lingyun had some self-awareness. He didn’t really ask Gu Shanhai to act with him; it would indeed be a waste if he did. He had tasks to perform, and so did Gu Shanhai. With future sight, He Lingyun could see that as long as there wasn’t a significant butterfly effect, Gu Shanhai would be able to complete the tasks.

If there was a substantial butterfly effect, it was beyond control, but He Lingyun had ways to remedy it.

What he wanted to rebuild was not the Sacred Federation but Utopia, a place of fairness and justice.

And he... was gradually moving towards becoming a Demiurge. Gu Shanhai had guessed this from He Lingyun’s actions, but he had not pointed it out. And Gu Shanhai had also speculated about He Lingyun’s third ability.
