Chapter 937 - 281: Giant Elephant_2
Previously.
This thing never appeared in the Mysterious Shop before. After the pollution from the divine creatures exploded in District Thirteen, someone discovered this thing in the Mysterious Shop but didn’t know how to use it.
Until a powerful Extraordinary emerged from the remaining humans in District Thirteen, and single-handedly stopped the attack of the decaying humans. That’s when they understood the true purpose of the so-called Genetic Chain.
The blood of divine creatures can activate the Genetic Chain, allowing the user to gain unimaginable abilities. It is also known as the Divine Inheritance, considered to be a treasure left behind by the gods.

Without the blood of divine creatures, the Genetic Chain is no different from a stone, yet it is hyped up to sky-high prices on an advanced trading platform, enough to buy a complete settlement.
Now this thing actually appeared on the body of this divine creature before them.
A strange thought popped into He Yu’s mind—what would happen if this divine creature used its own blood to activate the Genetic Chain?
If it could obtain strong power, wouldn’t that become a self-serving business?
Su Changxing raised his eyebrows at He Yu’s expression, realizing this human probably knew what was in his hands. He kicked He Yu’s backside, signaling for him to speak about the Black Crystal, "Shh shh."
He Yu realized this was a terrifying thing; if he spoke, he would become an enemy of humanity.
The Genetic Chain is the inheritance the gods left for humans; once stolen by this monster, it could become unimaginably powerful, leading to devastating disaster.
"..."
He Yun didn’t speak, keeping his head down. He was clear in his intentions—not even death would make him talk.
This dead pig isn’t afraid of boiling water attitude slightly troubled Su Changxing; they couldn’t communicate through language or writing.
"If you can tell me the purpose of this thing, I might let you go."
Su Changxing placed the Black Crystal back into his backpack, gesturing as he spoke. He realized this thing was more remarkable than he thought, important enough for a Tier Eight Extraordinary to care so deeply.
"Even in death, I won’t yield to you!" He Yu suddenly shouted madly, grabbing a spear from the ground and stabbing it into his chest.
Thud~
He pierced his heart with the spear. Due to the act of suicide, his body lacked any defense and he died almost instantly.
Su Changxing watched him commit suicide without preventing it, unable to understand why such a powerful Extraordinary suddenly lost the will to live and chose to die. He shouldn’t be that terrifying.
Why is this happening...
He felt there must be something he hadn’t noticed; otherwise, an Extraordinary with decent strength wouldn’t need to commit suicide. Even if he didn’t want to bend to the will of this zombie, resisting with everything he had would be the proper thing to do.
Su Changxing examined the belongings of the dead Extraordinary, finding only weapons—nothing but weapons, not even a bit of food or water, just a cigarette and a match in his pocket.
"He came with the intention to die..." Su Changxing fell into a brief silence.
The man seemed to be heading to battle the boss, knowing he might die, so he brought nothing but equipment. "Could these people also sense the terrifying aspect of my ability? So they can feel it..."
His usage of this extra ability was unclear and indirect, only able to passively influence the timeline, temporarily treating it as a displacement surprise attack skill, while also subtly instilling fear into the target.
Looking back, the Big Horn remained in the trap, but it had calmed down and quietly gazed in his direction, filled with bewilderment, unable to understand what happened, nor could its mind figure it out.
Su Changxing approached and rescued the Big Horn from the trap. Despite its severe injuries, it possessed a strong self-healing ability, capable of accelerating recovery by devouring corpses; within a half day, it could heal seven to eight-tenths, so there wasn’t much too worry about.
At that moment, Su Changxing lowered his head and noticed his left foot was unharmed—the wound that should have been caused by a wooden spike was gone.
"..."
A faint sense of dread appeared in his heart, increasingly convinced his extra ability was changing the direction of the timeline.
This seemed like something worthy of happiness, but the timeline of a world couldn’t possibly be changed that easily. Moreover, his clone was still merely an ordinary Extraordinary Zombie, only a Tier Nine Extraordinary Creature.
The tier divisions of the Extraordinary are very meaningful; each tier of extraordinary creatures has its limits, like a fixed-sized glass bottle, the amount of water inside can’t be more than the bottle’s capacity.
A Tier Nine Extraordinary Creature couldn’t possibly influence the world’s timeline progression; only gods might accomplish such feats, and even for gods, it might be difficult.
Time should be sacred and inviolable!
Su Changxing felt this should be the only way to guarantee truth; if time could be arbitrarily altered, then what would be true?
The greatest possibility is that there’s a problem with this world; the fundamental rules of this world itself are flawed, which is why this is happening.
