Chapter 260: More Is Strong, Bigger Is Good!

As he sensed the crazy starving sensation of his body cells, Lin Yao very much wanted to ask the science professors who studied these techniques what they had done. How had they modified an orthodox, profound technique into Cthulhu’s style of immortal cultivation?!

He wanted to holler at them, “This should be an adaptation, not a random modification!”

Unfortunately, he no longer had the time or energy to think about this.

The strengthening speed of this technique was alarming. Ordinary people could actively cultivate but were passive in terms of strengthening their body.

Now, all 60 trillion cells in Lin Yao’s body had been resurrected and filled with the desire to devour all energy. Furthermore, a massive amount of energy was flowing into his body to feed the demand. As a result, Lin Yao’s body strength was advancing rapidly every second.

It was as if all 60 trillion cells had attained consciousness and were breathing and cultivating at the same time.

If he were to enter his consciousness at this time, Lin Yao would discover that the physical statistics of his personal information above the sacred tree was changing once every 10 seconds.

Nevertheless, as mentioned before, he didn’t have the time or energy to think about all this. The characteristic of Cthulhu Cultivation was gaining instant, powerful strength. However, his body would become deformed, and his mental strength would get distorted.

Lin Yao was not affected by the external forces, and his mental strength was unharmed. However, his body was distorting and mutating due to the high-intensity electromagnetic radiation.

As they devoured energy crazily, some of Lin Yao’s cells were strengthening, while others were dividing and proliferating. This was not good news. When a large number of cells proliferated together, they were akin to cancer cells congregating to form tumors.

One could clearly see some parts of Lin Yao’s body bulging from time to time. His entire body was like a toad becoming increasingly twisted.

At that moment, Professor Li’s voice was heard. “Use electricity! Use thunder electricity to destroy the severely distorted parts!”

In his panic, Lin Yao had already unlocked the brain domain limiter and increased his arithmetic ability. He quickly understood Professor Li’s words and realized why thunder geniuses were more prone to benign mutations than ordinary people.

“Use the power of thunderbolt to blast the body parts where the mutation is severe. As thunderbolt contains the creation power of Yin and Yang, the destroyed body parts will possibly regroup and regenerate. There is a certain chance that these reborn parts will be affected by the creation power of the thunderbolt and become benign.”

‘Using thunder electricity to annihilate what is useless. Damn! Can this be described as a great power that makes miracles happen?’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao didn’t dare dawdle. He immediately filled his body with the power of thunderbolt and blasted and destroyed the parts where malignant mutations were occurring.

By doing this, Lin Yao was slowing down the mutation speed and strengthening his body cells instead of dividing and proliferating them.

Suddenly, Lin Yao’s situation became stabler.

Of course, he also wondered, ‘What if the malignant mutation occurs inside the body? Can thunderbolts destroy it then?’

Lin Yao was puzzled. If one had the best technology, numerous professors guiding them, and drugs that could cure mutations, why did thunder geniuses still have a 95% chance of mutation?

The reason was that once malignant mutations occurred in certain parts of the body, they couldn’t be cured.

At that moment, Professor Li’s gaze was fixed on Lin Yao’s projected personal data. There were images of Lin Yao’s internal organs there. As soon as some of the important organs showed signs of mutation, he would stop them immediately.

On the other hand, after removing the brain domain limiter, Lin Yao was racking his brains and trying to find a solution to this.

At last, in this critical situation, he had a Light-Bulb Moment and found some solutions. This was related to the changes in his body.

‘All my cells have come alive, but most of the changes have occurred on the surface of the body and very few inside the body. This cannot be because of good luck. It must be due to some differences between the body surface and the inner body.’

Thanks to his quick wits and the Light-Bulb Moment, Lin Yao quickly discovered the differences. ‘The strengthening of the body surface is dominated by the inflow of electric current. Layer by layer, a large amount of current radiates into the body and is being devoured. However, the energy has already weakened by the time it reaches the internal organs.’

As he thought about this, Lin Yao shouted toward the observation room situated on the platform, “Professor, slow down the inflow of electrical energy!”

“This won’t do. Slowing down energy will cause autophagy to occur.”

“I still have energy in my body.”

Professor Li heard Lin Yao but shook his head.

“It’s useless. We have tried replacing electric current with nutrient drinks before, but this worsened the mutation. Thunder electricity suppresses evil and can suppress malignant mutations better than other types of energy.”

Professor Li and the others had naturally thought of replacing the fiery thunder electricity with other kinds of energy. With the support of the country, they had experimented with the Water of Life, but they’d soon discovered that this method was not feasible.

It was true that the cells could devour a milder form of energy more easily, but if the cells were not suppressed, the body would become more prone to the occurrence of malignant mutations. On the contrary, the thunderbolts of the spirit energy era represented the interaction of Yin and Yang and contained the power of creation, as well as the positive energy of heaven and earth, and could restrain malignant mutations. This was also why thunder geniuses would have a 5% chance of benign mutation in the end.

However, Lin Yao insisted on his idea.

Upon seeing the determined look in Lin Yao’s eyes, Professor Li hesitated for a moment before slowing down the inflow of electric current into Lin Yao’s body slightly.

The external energy supply had been reduced, but the appetite of the cells remained. As a result, their devouring ability strengthened and their desire intensified. Fortunately, there was still a lot of sunlight in Lin Yao’s cells at this point, and the Great Sun God Pattern imprinted on his chest was also releasing sunlight and nourishing his body cells continuously.

Unlike the excruciating pain caused by the stimulation of the entire body by thunder electricity, the sunlight nourished the body and mind, giving Lin Yao a warm, fuzzy feeling. This was a wonderful feeling, and as he felt this way, a sensation of sudden growth and sprouting also filled various parts of his body.

Lin Yao knew that this was granulation from the mere sensation of it. Once this happened, there would be many twisted arms and tentacles of different lengths. Even eyeballs, teeth, and internal organs would grow all over the body, turning Lin Yao into a deformed monster.

This was not because the body cells were upset and wanted to commit suicide. It happened for Lin Yao’s own ‘good’. Having many long arms would make him more agile, many eyeballs would lead to a sharper vision, and many tentacles would increase his body mass and give him more energy reserves. Having more hearts was no doubt good, as the heart was a source of vitality, and a huge mouth and teeth could increase one’s digesting ability…

Lin Yao’s cells were doing everything for his sake, but although the cells were alive, they had no IQ. They only understood one thing—bigger was stronger, and more was good.

Every single one of his cells wanted Lin Yao to become better, but there was no overarching plan. Most of the 60 trillion cells were fighting against one another. As a result, a hundred eyeballs were growing on his body, and he had countless arms and seven or eight hearts. Furthermore, the layout of these arms, eyeballs, and hearts was also very messy. It was as if the body surface cells wanted more power sources, therefore exposing the newly-grown hearts on the body surface…

Allowing the messy organs to grow arbitrarily on the body was a form of malignant mutation.

Usually, it was good to absorb the power of thunder electricity. Violent thunder electricity posed a huge threat to the body’s cells and could suppress the body’s indiscriminate growth. However, the situation would become serious when the electricity suppression was reduced.

This warm, fuzzy feeling intoxicated Lin Yao, making the cells on his body feel safer.

‘It’s time to reproduce and build more organs now that we don’t need to resist foreign enemies.’
