Strength, in this relative need to come at a cost. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If you are a person who thirsts for power, you may be willing to burn your life because of this great power.

But I won't, because I'm not a power-hungry person, or that strength means nothing to me, or it's more like a drag.

Great power means responsibility, but also heavier burdens.

So I ...... Refuse!

"The power you are talking about means nothing to me, I'm just a student, just an ordinary high school student."

Now that I have made up my mind, I can only refuse this power.

"You choose to give up?"

When this answer arrived, Eric Wind was not surprised in the slightest, it seemed to have anticipated this answer.

Or rather, this is the standard option that a normal human should choose.

"Although the power you said makes me feel a little excited, I don't have a reason to need this kind of power as a student, not to mention that I'm just an otaku who likes to stay at home and taunt each other with my sister and play games, and this kind of burden of saving the world is really not for me."

“……”

This time, Eric listened to me without replying, as if he were silent.

I continued:

"You introduced me to your country, an interstellar empire that rose to prominence with war. You want me to understand that strength is the foundation of strength, but unfortunately I am a pacifist and have little interest in blood and glory. ”

"That's what you're trying to say?"

"Yes."

When I said this, I felt a lot more relaxed, although I don't know what Eric Wind thinks, but at least I have made it clear that I don't need this kind of power.

"Hahahaha."

Suddenly, Eric smiled, sudden, and grotesquely, as pleasantly as a conspirator succeeds.

"Sure enough, Lin Moshi, Lin Qiancheng, and you Lin Yuchuan, sure enough, the three generations of your ancestors and grandchildren are all carved out of the same mold, even the words spoken are the same, and even the expressions are almost the same, with a righteous and sanctimonious face."

"Uh, you've seen my grandfather and father?"

Suddenly, an artificial intelligence called out the names of his grandfather and father, and my curiosity couldn't help but be aroused by him.

"This is not the key, the key is that your 'Lin family' is a virtue. Your Lin family only has a little ability to predict the future, and as a result, everyone in your family who comes to me is like a monk who has practiced for 500 years and is about to become an immortal. ”

"It's been five thousand years, and the reason for your Lin family's rejection of the Holy Inheritance has not changed much, every time you say that contemptible people look through the secluded mountains and forests of the earthly world, and don't want to get involved in secular struggles, the tone is as if you are saying that you are an immortal who lives in seclusion and does not fight with mortals."

"Uh...... It's not that exaggerated......"

I felt ridiculed, and I couldn't help but argue.

"Peace? I'm sorry, but all the citizens of the Gen Empire are war-torn through and through, and so am I, so I've never been able to understand the boring excuse of 'peace'. Now that you humanity is under mortal threat, and the onslaught of new genes has thrown you humanity into disarray, the 'pacifists' will one day have nowhere to run. ”

"It's not that exaggerated...... I'm afraid that humanity is about to perish to that extent, and I alone can still turn the tide? ”

"In fact, the price I just said is just a temptation, the essence of the mythical gene is immortality, and burning one's own life in exchange for power has already violated the essence of eternal life."

"Then how could Junyi and ......?"

"He lived in an environment where the law of the jungle was predatory, killing or being killed, and he had to use his potential to survive in constant combat, and while doing so gave him near-anti-heaven powers, it also left a fatal wound on his body."

"He's badly wounded?"

"It's not a serious matter, for the 'dragon blood' in his body, any injury is not fatal. From the very beginning, the 'Dragon's Blood', created by the Xuan Empire in imitation of the 'Mythical Gene', gave him the ability to heal himself almost immortally, but this immortality was based on the infinite number of cell divisions in the organism. ”

"Human cells have an upper limit on the number of divisions, and this is the only weakness of 'dragon blood'. Why is there a limit to human lifespan? Because human cells will one day apoptosis and will no longer divide. And the 'Dragon's Blood' gives the user great power, and at the same time, it will also make the person's metabolic speed reach the speed of the sky. ”

"Jun Yihe's frequent use of 'dragon blood' for his strength will shorten his lifespan at an alarming rate, and now the organs in his body are probably no different from those of a centenarian. Death is only a matter of time. ”

"Does he know that using dragon's blood will reduce lifespan?"

"Yes."

"Why did he do it when he knew?"

"Responsibility, or dream. You must know that he was a thorough idealist when he was young, and his biggest dream was not to be a 'holy inheritance', but to become a writer. ”

"But it backfired, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and as a descendant of the 'Jun family', he has the heavy responsibility of inheriting the blood of the Jun family."

"But in the eyes of his family, Jun Yihe's genes are unqualified, and he must use some special methods to make up for the defects in his genes, so he can only accept the selection of the 'Holy Inheritance' and become the ninety-eighth generation of the Holy Inheritance."

"So he was forced." I said indignantly.

"No, he volunteered, I said he was an idealist. He is the paranoid of idealists, a madman who is willing to burn his life for humanity at any time and at all times. ”

"As for you, and the little girl from last time, the next generation of Sacred Inheritance will be decided from the two of you."

"The Ninety-Ninth Generation."
