Chapter 360 I am not interested in power
Du Tianming said that he stole Tianguan's research results, and when he confessed Shen Cheng's origins, he also said that Shen Cheng was stolen from the Life Tribunal by him.

Myself = Tianguan’s research results?
The fishing float in the water was still shaking, creating ripples.

Shen Cheng was no longer interested. He asked in a low voice, "What research did you steal?"

Du Tianming looked at Shen Cheng, but did not answer his question directly. Instead, he said, "It's not safe here. Let's go somewhere else."

Lao Ruan walked over from the woods not far away and stretched out his hand towards Shen Cheng and Du Tianming, obviously preparing to take the two to a parallel world.

Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment and grabbed Lao Ruan's hand.

Darkness flooded the vision, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness appeared again.

When the darkness faded, Shen Cheng's vision became bright again, and he found himself in a strange parallel world. There were furniture and televisions around him, and even the lights were on, as if he was inside a residential house.

Shen Cheng clenched his hands, looked at Du Tianming and Lao Ruan standing in front of him, frowned and asked: "Why is most of my body left in reality?"

He found that his strength suddenly dropped to an exaggerated level, and at least 99% of the eternal blood and dragon blood in his body disappeared.

This situation immediately reminded him of Jin Xing, who had been tricked by Du Tianming before and had lost half of his body.

Then the instigators are undoubtedly the two people in front of us.

"Then you have to ask him."

Lao Ruan looked at Du Tianming standing aside, his eyes as if he was looking at a scumbag: "You are really cruel, you even schemed against your own son."

"He is not my son."

Du Tianming pushed his glasses up with his fingers and said in a terrifyingly calm tone: "Appearance is the most deceptive thing in the world. People who look good are not necessarily kind-hearted, and people who look ugly are not necessarily bad-mannered. So, are people who look exactly the same related by blood?"

Lao Ruan raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Alright, alright, don't give me a long lecture. I really can't win the argument with you."

Du Tianming ignored him and said to Shen Cheng: "I left most of your body outside because I don't want you to resist too violently what's going to happen next."

Shen Cheng looked at him for a few seconds and suddenly smiled.

Seeing a sofa next to him, he sat down and said, "So, what are you going to do to me?"

Shen Cheng has always been very wary of Du Tianming, and even made special preparations before setting out to meet him.

However, he did not expect that Du Tianming would disrupt his thoughts with an important piece of news, and then cooperate with Lao Ruan to carelessly make him step into the trap.

"You will soon find out what I am going to do to you."

Du Tianming also sat on the sofa opposite Shen Cheng: "But wait for me to finish what I just said."

Of course Shen Cheng was extremely happy and acted as if he was all ears.

"Since I learned about the existence of the Lord of the Sky, I have been very anxious and want to find a solution."

Du Tianming's eyes were slightly empty, as if he was lost in memories. "During that time, I stayed in the laboratory day and night, constantly performing various calculations and simulations, but in the end, I gained nothing. When I was extremely desperate, I turned my attention to Tianguan. As a survivor of the previous civilization, he must have unknown information in his hands. With my unremitting efforts, I finally discovered that Tianguan was conducting a very secret research, which even the entire Life Tribunal did not know about."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng immediately questioned: "Since no one in the Life Court knows about it, how did you know about it?"

Du Tianming crossed his fingers, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses: "The process of my discovery was full of surprises and coincidences. Perhaps this is fate's favor to me."

This answer, which was full of the flavor of charlatanism, left Shen Cheng speechless.

Du Tianming continued, "Tianguan got a living seed from nowhere. This seed has the possibility of infinite evolution. It can simulate all abilities and forms in the world and find the most suitable evolutionary direction for itself, thereby constantly breaking through the shackles of humans, demons and Eternals and reaching an unprecedented new height. As long as it is allowed to evolve infinitely, its power will eventually grow to a level high enough to defeat the Lord of the Sky and save the entire planet from crisis."

At this point, even the usually calm Du Tianming showed obvious excitement. His speech speed quickened and even his tone rose by several centimeters.

And Shen Cheng's heartbeat also started pounding.

The possibility of infinite evolution? Simulating all abilities and forms in the world?
These two descriptions hit his brain like a sledgehammer, creating a tsunami-like wave.

Isn’t this describing his golden finger?
"Tianguan was the loser of the previous civilization. I cannot leave this only chance in his hands."

Du Tianming's tone regained its composure: "So I have been trying to find a way to steal the seed, and the opportunity soon appeared. A strange enemy appeared at the headquarters of the Life Tribunal, and Tianguan was forced to leave the black building. So I took the opportunity to steal the seed, and then left the Human Federation overnight and fled to the Eternal Empire."

Shen Cheng understood. This was why Du Tianming was wanted by the Life Court with the highest arrest warrant, because he stole the most important treasure of Tianguan.

But describing himself as a baby made him feel a little disgusted.

"This seed soon showed unparalleled abilities in my hands. I injected some gene fragments from a human baby into it, and it began to mimic the baby's form, transforming itself into a human baby."

Du Tianming stared at Shen Cheng closely. "I adopted this baby and wanted to raise him myself, but I accidentally fell into the hands of Bai Jun and was forced to become an Eternal. After that, my situation in the Eternal Empire became dangerous, so I had no choice but to send the baby away and give him to Du Haijing to raise."

It is already clear at this point that Shen Cheng is the baby that was transformed from the seed.

Shen Cheng was silent for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Are you so confident in handing over such an important thing?"

"Because I don't have a choice."

Du Tianming's tone revealed a hint of helplessness: "I was already being targeted by Jin Xing at that time. It was too dangerous to keep you by my side. I could only take the risk of putting you in a place where no one would pay attention to you."

Shen Cheng's mind was completely confused. He thought of many possibilities about his origins. Maybe he was born in a laboratory, maybe he was a clone, or maybe he was someone's illegitimate child.

He had made sufficient mental preparations, but the final answer still shocked him.

I am actually a person transformed from a seed?
This answer was so outrageous that Shen Cheng found it hard to accept it for a while.

He had to question Du Tianming's statement again: "Before I was transformed into an Eternal, I was undoubtedly an ordinary person, without the mysterious abilities you mentioned."

He himself was a time traveler, and the original owner he traveled through was even beaten to death by two homeless people. Is this the only hope to save the planet?
Du Tianming explained calmly: "That was my doing. In order to prevent you from being discovered to be special in your childhood, I implanted a lock in your genes. It will suppress all your abilities and make you behave like an ordinary person before you grow up."

Shen Cheng sneered: "Is this really not a patch you applied later?" Du Tianming was a little confused and obviously didn't understand what this sentence meant.

Shen Cheng could only change the subject: "Aren't you afraid that I might die in an accident?"

"Will not."

Since Du Tianming dared to do this, he must have a good reason: "If you die in an accident, you will degenerate into your original form and then evolve into a new form. You will not really die."

Shen Cheng frowned slightly.

Assuming that what Du Tianming said was true, then if he had not traveled through time, the original owner would not have really died after being beaten to death by the two homeless men, but would have degenerated into the original seed state and then evolved again?
Seeing Shen Cheng silent, Du Tianming dropped a heavy bomb: "After you became an Eternal, did you find that you could master multiple abilities at the same time? That's because the restrictions I left in your genes are gradually being lifted, and you are recovering your unique evolution and simulation functions. The different abilities you have now are all acquired through your unconscious simulation of others."

Shen Cheng retorted: "Are these settings you mentioned just the abilities of the Memory Envoy changed in appearance?"

"Different."

Du Tianming shook his head: "Memory Messengers rely on peeping into other people's memories and copying other people's abilities from their memories, but these abilities are not theirs after all and will disappear over time. You are different, you simulate other people's abilities, which originally belong to you."

Du Tianming leaned forward slightly, staring into Shen Cheng's eyes: "Do you sometimes fail in simulation? And those abilities that succeed in simulation can evolve into even more powerful powers?"

Shen Cheng had no expression on his face.

It was no secret that he had multiple abilities, and many people knew about it.

But no one knows how he did it, and people generally speculate what his relationship is with the Memory Messenger.

Only Du Tianming revealed the true source of his various abilities.

Shen Cheng's abilities were acquired by fulfilling other people's last wishes, but on second thought, isn't this also a simulation through observing other people's memories?

If you can't fulfill someone else's last wish, then the simulation has failed? If the two abilities merge into one, then evolution is successful?
Shen Cheng suddenly became alert and realized that he was using the reasons given by Du Tianming to convince himself.

After all, the origin of the golden finger is too mysterious. On the contrary, the reasons given by Du Tianming are more reasonable and well-founded, so I subconsciously think that his words make more sense.

Shen Cheng took a deep breath and put aside all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

I can't follow Du Tianming's pace, otherwise I might really be framed by his words.

"I assume that what you said is correct."

Shen Cheng stared at Du Tianming's face, which looked exactly like his own. "What are you going to do now? Are you going to let me become your experimental subject again?"

"You are already perfect enough. There is no need for any more tests. In fact, your performance has far exceeded my expectations."

Du Tianming did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly: "Next, I will use a special operation to exchange my soul with yours, and I will control your body."

Hearing Du Tianming reveal his purpose, Shen Cheng was not surprised at all.

After all, villains are all like this, either they are after power or they are after selfish desires, they have no vision at all.

"Looking at your expression, you must think I did this to take away your power."

"Is not it?"

"You are wrong. I am not interested in power itself."

Shen Cheng's expression was a little bit awkward. The way he looked at Du Tianming was like he was looking at an old man who said he was not interested in money.

Du Tianming pushed his glasses up with his fingers and said, "There are two reasons why I want to exchange souls with you. The first is my selfish desire, because I want to witness with my own eyes how far your future can go and what infinite possibilities your evolutionary path can bring."

"Secondly, I am not confident in leaving the task of defeating the Sky Lord to you. Countless talented people in the past civilizations have failed. You are not as good as them, so I need to complete this task myself and put an end to the destruction of the civilization cycle."

Shen Cheng asked back: "Do you think you are better than all the geniuses?"

"Yes."

Du Tianming actually admitted it himself, his tone was very firm: "Yes, I am better than all the geniuses in the past, not because I am stronger, but because I stand on the shoulders of my predecessors."

Shen Cheng didn't know whether Du Tianming was arrogant or confident. His reason seemed to be for the public good, or simply for his dream.

But everyone can shout slogans. The key is not what a person says, but what he does.

Shen Cheng sneered: "No matter how big your dream is, no matter how good your reasons are, I only see that you are plotting against me and want to take my body away."

"I'm not going to convince you with words."

Du Tianming slowly stood up from the sofa: "I told you so much just to tell you one thing, your mission has ended."

After saying that, he extended his hand towards Shen Cheng.

Snapped!
Shen Cheng grabbed his outstretched wrist and smiled: "Whether my mission is over or not is not up to you."

Du Tianming replied: "Stubborn resistance is not a good option. Most of your strength is left in reality. You are no match for us now."

"I know, but do you think I didn't make any preparations before I came to see you?"

Shen Cheng raised his other hand and snapped his fingers.

"Come out, three of you."

As soon as Shen Cheng finished speaking, Du Tianming and Lao Ruan only felt a flash before their eyes, and three figures appeared out of thin air beside Shen Cheng.

These are three women with outstanding looks and different postures.
