I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 56: The Horrifying Research Institute

As he thought about this, Lin Yao realized that this was truly possible. The mythology of the One God differed from other mythologies in the sense that this god was perfect and flawless. He was the King of Kings and the Lord of Hosts and had created light on the first day of the creation of the world.

Therefore, light and the One God shared an indissoluble bond, and to a certain extent, the attribute of light represented the One God. Though incorrect, this was the opinion of the general public.

Nourishing the human body with the light that separated heaven and earth and transforming a sin-ridden mortal into the perfect being (god) was a recurrence of mythology.

Furthermore, the light attained by Lin Yao came from the Tree of Light. The Tree of Light originated from the Celestial Tree, and the Celestial Tree was a descendant of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, which had been planted in the Garden of Eden and supposedly contained the secret mystery to becoming a god.

‘From man to god… This sounds great.’

After knowing all the reasons that had caused the change in him, Lin Yao was no longer surprised when he looked at his face in the mirror. Instead, he was trying to suppress the ecstasy on his face.

“Come to think of it, I’m just slightly more handsome than before. Brother and Sister are making a fuss over nothing.”

As he said that, Lin Yao stepped out of the room and continued to wash up nonchalantly while his two young siblings looked on enviously. Lin Yao was rejoicing inwardly…

“I really admire Brother’s dashing looks.”

Lin Yao’s younger siblings were not the only ones taken aback. When Lin Yao’s parents got up, they also had looks of amazement on their faces when they saw that Lin Yao’s entire body was glowing and had become more refined and perfect (the transformation that had occurred due to last night’s advancement was equivalent to a year of normal nourishment).

In particular, when Lin Yao’s mother found out that he would be free of illnesses henceforth and would only become increasingly more handsome, she looked envious.

“Son, do you think Mom can also awaken this kind of ability? I don’t need to become more powerful. I just need the adjustments of the light.”

“Uh…”

The special effect of constantly perfecting oneself was already enough to make a woman, including his mother, feel jealous.

…

After a busy day in the morning, Lin Yao’s parents went out to exercise and his two young siblings followed suit. Lin Yao opened the window in the room and sat by the window to study.

He spent most of his time browsing through various battles on the Internet and contemplating ways to deal with them, thus increasing his own knowledge.

While browsing on the Internet, Lin Yao also calmed down and sank into his Sea of Consciousness to observe the two young saplings. He felt puzzled.

‘The Tree of Heaven Punishment needs 3,000 grams of energy points to advance, but the Tree of Light only needs 1,000 grams of energy points. Why is the ability of the Tree of Heaven Punishment not as good as that of the Tree of Light?’

Although the Tree of Light only had one ability and this ability also required some prerequisites for activation (Lin Yao needed to absorb sunlight to fill the body cells in order to activate the ability), this one skill came with four special effects, so Lin Yao was very astounded by it.

In particular, all four skills were very practical. In comparison, the Tree of Heaven Punishment did not seem that wonderful.

After frowning and pondering this, as well as checking the information on the Internet, Lin Yao gradually came up with a guess.

‘I remember the record in the Bible of the One God. Yahweh pointed to the Garden of Eden and told Adam that all the fruits in this garden could be plucked except for those of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden because they ate the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil after being tempted by the snake.’

The main reason for Adam and Eve’s expulsion and punishment was that they had violated Yahweh’s orders and committed an act that had defied god. However, besides the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the other fruits in the Garden of Eden could be eaten. This went to show that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was extraordinary.

‘At the same time, the Bible also says that before they ate the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve lived together naked. It was after eating the fruit that they were able to distinguish good from evil and have feelings of shame…

‘I always feel that the ability to distinguish between good and evil is more than that. Forget it, I’m not going to think about this anymore. This is an ability that can only be comprehended at a high level. I should focus on my current situation.’

Lin Yao studied the entire morning. When it was around eight o’clock, he called the school and said that he needed to practice independently for the day and would go to school tomorrow for the official competition.

The one-eyed instructor granted Lin Yao permission without giving him a hard time. He only reminded Lin Yao not to slack off and let his guard down just because he was very talented.

“I won’t slack off.”

Thinking of the malice he had encountered last night, Lin Yao gritted his teeth and headed toward the research institute that Professor Li had told him about.

On his way there, sunlight absorption LV5 was unleashing its effect and absorbing the sunlight in the sky.

In the past, when Lin Yao had absorbed sunlight without training, this light energy had soon gone to waste. However, it was different this time. When sunlight entered his body, it would penetrate Lin Yao’s body cells directly, making him feel warm all over.

This warm feeling was the embodiment of the light energy that nourished Lin Yao’s body and mind. Lin Yao was enveloped by this light energy, which activated the special effects of his Body of Light. As Lin Yao’s body was filled with the power of light, his basic qualities also increased by 10%.

Lin Yao could sense that the power of light had not yet filled his entire body. When his whole body was filled, his basic qualities would increase by 30%.

The power of light stored in Lin Yao’s body cells could increase his strength. In addition, positive energy from the combination of light and spirit energy also filled his cells and made up for his defects, perfecting him bit by bit.

The only thing Lin Yao was a little dissatisfied with was that his body still couldn’t absorb 100% of the sunlight. During the absorption, some of the sunlight would spill out, making Lin Yao look brighter than the people around him.

In contrast, it was as if other people had turned black and white whereas he had color, which made him stand out in the crowd.

At the same time, the advancement of the Tree of Light last night had caused Lin Yao’s body to undergo major fine-tuning, although he had been sleeping and had been oblivious to this. Nevertheless, this had happened, and that round of fine-tuning had repaired Lin Yao’s defects and improved his appearance greatly.

He was already handsome. In combination with the exuberance of the special effects of the “light” all over his body, Lin Yao attracted the attention of countless people, especially ladies, when he headed to the research institute. All of them were watching Lin Yao in secret. He felt somewhat speechless as a result.

‘Sigh… I wanted to keep a low profile.’

When he realized that a beautiful Lolita was staring at him, Lin Yao responded with a smile.

However, as he smiled, the Lolita’s eyes looked dazed and she could not move further. Her legs twisted together, and she fell to the ground.

‘Oh no, is the effect that powerful?’

After touching his face, Lin Yao didn’t dare smile anymore. He quickly ran toward Professor Li’s laboratory.

Half an hour later, Lin Yao’s cells had been filled with the power of light and he reached Professor Li’s research institute.

It was a place that occupied a vast area, and Lin Yao was not the only person there. However, as soon as he stepped into the research institute, he trembled in fear at the sound of a sharp, terrifying scream that seemed to be a result of bone-chilling torture.

“Ahhhhh!!!!!!”

The shrill, horrifying scream continued. As he listened to the scream and glanced around the research institute in front of him, Lin Yao had a feeling that he was stepping into a demon’s cave.

‘What a horrifying scream. Don’t tell me this is another Professor Yang.’

Lin Yao hesitated as he stood in front of the door.

While he hesitated, a yawning researcher in a white lab coat with dark circles that looked visibly fatigued approached Lin Yao.

“Y-Yawn… You must be the thunder genius Professor said would come today. Come with me, I hope you can… persevere…”

The researcher in a white lab coat who had approached him was a woman. She was a little distracted initially, as she was still looking at the chart in her hand when she walked over. Coming to fetch Lin Yao was a trivial errand, and she was a little impatient.

However, her attitude changed completely when she looked up and saw Lin Yao’s face.

As if she had discovered a rare treasure, the woman from the research institute immediately fixed her appearance, not even caring when the chart in her hand dropped to the ground. Furthermore, she gave Lin Yao a big smile after freshening up.

“Hello, my name is Jiang Rong. I’m also a student. I’m a third-year student at the University of Monster Science and Technology. You seem to be a third-year student in senior high school. You may call me Senior Sister.”
