Chapter 29: Ahenaten

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the next few days, Lu Zhiyu took Ahenaten to all the other few cities which the orcs had just built. He showed the boy the cities of the tigers and the leopards, which were designed like military bases. He also showed the boy the city of the foxes, which was the orcs’ largest center of commerce in the North. Then, Lu Zhiyu took Ahenaten to visit the tribes of the dog-people and cat-people, which were still primitive and not yet cities.

After that, he showed the boy the orcs’ farms and ranches, and told him that he could domesticate animals and raise crops too. Humans had been doing these as well, but because the South was filled with natural resources, they did not carry these processes out fully and also did not understand why they had to.

In these few days, Ahenaten finally had a basic idea of how powerful the orcs were and how weak the humans were. The orcs were already an army equipped with weapons and civilization, while humans were only a group of wild monkeys in the forest.

A few days passed. Finally, Lu Zhiyu took Ahenaten back to the plain where he had lived. It was the end of the day, and the sun was setting slowly. “Do you understand now?” Lu Zhiyu asked.

Ahenaten nodded, “I understand. In the name Goddess Maria, I will bring light to humans!”

Lu Zhiyu nodded, “Before I go, I want to give you something.”

Ahenaten looked at Lu Zhiyu in surprise. Lu Zhiyu held out his hands; in his left hand there was a bag of seeds, while in his right hand there was a longsword. The sword was a customized order Lu Zhuyi had obtained online. Made from alloy steel, it was strong, durable, and resistant to friction and corrosion. Its appearance was even more astonishing, with special patterns and a blood groove on it.

To someone like Ahenaten who had not even seen the Bronze Age, such a sword was just like a divine artifact. He took the sword with much excitement and asked, “Is such a divine artifact really for me?”

He stared at the gleaming mirror-like surface of the sword. The sword was sharp and strong, and only gods could have created it. He knelt down on the ground. “Praise Goddess Maria!”

“Another thing,” Lu Zhiyu said. Right then, Lu Zhiyu tapped on Ahenaten’s hand with his finger. In these few days, he had lied to Ahenaten and given him a pill to eat, telling him that it was a divine medicine, when it was actually just a piece of candy. That way, he could secretly strengthen Ahenaten’s body with his mind power so that he would be able to unlock the abilities in Ahenaten’s genes before he left.

Lu Zhiyu unlocked the restrictions Ahenaten’s brain had on his body, activating two powers in Ahenaten’s genes, namely mastery of swords and the Golden Eye. The so-called Golden Eye was an ability formed from the fusion of eye-related abilities such as dynamic vision, eagle’s vision, and night vision.

Lu Zhiyu believed that with the sword, his extraordinary sword skills, and his eyes which could detect any incoming attacks, Ahenaten would be able to defeat a hundred normal humans easily.

With these powers, it would pose no challenge for Ahenaten to become the leader of a tribe. In addition, with the knowledge that Ahenaten had gained from the trip with Lu Zhuyi, he would also be able to easily build a human city. As for resisting the invasions from the orcs, as long as Ahenaten could build a civilization which was strong enough to fight against the orcs, everything would be fine. After all, the orcs might be strong, but they were not unified.

If I fail this time, Lu Zhiyu thought, I can still select someone else.

Lu Zhiyu watched as Ahenaten collapsed onto the ground with many hormonal changes occuring in his body. Even his pupils slowly turned gold. Lu Zhiyu picked up the boy and placed him on a haystack, after which Lu Zhiyu turned around and vanished under the sunset.

When Ahenaten woke up, he felt extremely hungry and thirsty. At the moment, it was already nighttime, but he still felt that the world actually looked bright to him. Although it was not as clear as it would have been in the daylight, he could still see everything very well.

He picked up the sword Lu Zhiyu had given him, and put the bag of seeds into his clothes. Then, he walked into the forest and found a small stream right away. Just as he was lowering his head to drink, a dark figure appeared beside him.

Ahenaten was able to react immediately. He quickly drew his sword, realizing that the attacker was a black leopard. His pupils contracted, and his golden pupils seemed to shine in the darkness. The leopard’s lightning-quick, deadly attack was actually rapidly slowed down in his eyes.

Ahenaten quickly bent down, turned around, and pierced the sword into the leopard’s neck, as if he had practised this action with the sword for thousands of times. The whole series of movements was very smooth, as though he was a top-tier swordsman!

Panting, he stared at the leopard in bewilderment. Even his father would have had a tough battle with such a wild beast in the forest. How did he kill the beast so easily?

Ahenaten gripped his sword tightly. The sword felt like his closest buddy, as if he had already practised sword skills for tens of years. Using the sword had become one of his instincts.

After glancing at the already dead leopard on the ground, he lowered his head to look at the river. Moonlight poured down and he could see his reflection on the surface: red hair, a firm face, and a pair of golden pupils.

“My eyes?”

As soon as Lu Zhiyu returned to the castle, he took his mask off. It did not feel great to go down and do some work himself. Lying was an art, after all. Although he could read minds and was especially powerful in Maria’s World, he was still an ordinary human.

Moreover, his Immortality Gene Editing Plan was entering a critical stage. The development of Maria’s World would only affect the growth of the civilizations inside, his World Reform Plan, and how much Source Form he could get.

On the other hand, Immortality Gene Editing Plan would directly determine how long Lu Zhiyu could live. If he could solve the lifespan problem, he could even stay in the castle for as long as he wanted to speed up his research and various plans. In other words, he did not to have to worry about staying in the castle for too long and forgetting about time. If that happened, by the time he returned to the outside world, he would already be old!

From the insects, he had learned some of the secrets to immortality genes. In particular, maintenance and constant restoration were the key factors. At the moment, he already had some preliminary ideas and results, and was still implementing them. However, several of his experiments had gone wrong, proving his ideas wrong. That had made him slightly discouraged.

Where should I start? Strong restorative powers and vitality, not needing tons of energy, and able to maintain the processes in the body...

Lu Zhiyu was sitting down in the large laboratory, looking tired. He got up from his chair, walked to a door on the side of the room, and opened it. It was a freezer room he had specially built. The room was filled with various labelled animal and plant genetic templates. The temperature in the freezer room was almost equivalent to outer space, and the room was isolated from its surrounding.

As he sealed away a few failed templates, he suddenly noticed a small plant in a bottle with his peripheral vision. “Huh? What if I insert sections of plant genes into animal genes?”
