Lu Zhiyu felt that something was about to grow out from between his eyebrows. Finally at the end of his meditation, with sufficient mind power, the thing broke through and came into the real world.

Lu Zhiyu saw the external world, not with his eyes or with the introspective senses that he had been using earlier. Instead, he was actually observing the world from an entirely different angle. His mind power had broken through the limitations of his body and was influencing the real world.

The real world that he saw through his mind power was made up of information formed by dots and lines. There were no colors or light, only information in the form of dots and lines.

From the moment Lu Zhiyu extended his mind power to explore the world, he could feel a vast amount of external information flooding into his brain. The humidity of the air, the size of the room, and the length, structure, quality, and density of his bed all continuously gushed into his brain.

Suddenly, Lu Zhiyu realized that he had never understood his room so well. However, the huge amount of information was too much for him to handle, causing him to feel as if his brain was going to explode.

Is this how the world looks like using mind power? The world is created from information!

After withdrawing his mind power, Lu Zhiyu felt dizzy at once. Information from the whole world kept entering his brain. Although he enjoyed the feeling, he found it unbearable at the same time.

After Lu Zhiyu calmed down, he started to carry out his initial plan. He began to observe the inside of his body and the deep parts of his cells, just like how the queen insects did.

His mind power turned more refined and went deeper into his body. Lu Zhiyu could see his body become continuously enlarged. He saw his muscles, blood vessels, blood, and then, his cells flowing. They looked like bubbles that converged into an endless stream of river, rushing into the distance.

As Lu Zhiyus mind power ventured even further, he could see what was happening inside the cells. He found the nucleus, which was the small walnut-shaped tissue in every cell. The function of each cell was carried out by its cytoplasm, while the nucleus was its core.

Lu Zhiyu once again made his mind power even finer. At this stage, it was already extremely tough for him. His mind power had reached the realm of the microscopic world. This was the most magical and mysterious corner of the world. As compared to the macroscopic universe, humans were more interested in the microscopic world.

Finally, Lu Zhiyu saw his own DNA. It was like a spiral staircase, and contained the greatest secret of the human body. Human genetic materials were found here, as was all the information in the body. This was a mystery that mankind had always wanted to unravel but could not do so completely.

Lu Zhiyu was elated. He went straight in and saw an endless amount of information flooding into his brain in the form of visible texts. He felt as though he was standing naked in front of a long stream of information. An infinite amount of information dating all the way back to the beginning of life presented itself beneath his feet.

What is this? The memories of life?

Lu Zhiyu saw the information about his ancestors and the beginning of mankind. As he moved up the stream, Lu Zhiyu could even see the shadows of people which were his ancestors. As he advanced further, their faces became simpler and unadorned. Their clothing also kept changing, and ultimately, he saw the primitive period.

He moved all the way from homo sapiens to homo erectus, homo habilis, and Australopithecus. Then, Lu Zhiyu realized that the road ended abruptly. This was the first template of man and no more genetic backtracking was available.

Perhaps, this was actually the origin of man. The other species further up the stream already had nothing to do with mankind. Lu Zhiyu could see directly the origin and evolution of man. It was like an enormous slideshow which greatly astounded him.

At the moment Lu Zhiyu withdrew his mind power, he felt wobbly, nearly falling down from his bed. He covered his face and panted non-stop. It took him a long while to recover.

After some time, Lu Zhiyu roared with laughter. He felt that he had been to the edge of the evolution of man, and finally understood the secret of genes.

Lu Zhiyu realized that the insects had actually changed their genes through pheromones after observing the secret of genes. Lu Zhiyu had a more frightening thought, all because he had seen the genetic template of the ape-like ancestor in the deepest part of his genes.

What if I change the template? If I change the source of the genetic information and tell the gene that its ancestor is not an ape, but rather a Titan, or a god, or even a dragon in the legend, what will happen to mankind? Will it cause atavism, with man suddenly becoming extraordinary beings?

The thought thrilled Lu Zhiyu, but he also felt that the task would be extremely challenging. Countless experiments would have to be done before he could realize his goal. Lu Zhiyu was not even sure if it was feasible.

Lu Zhiyu had set up a laboratory upstairs. It was not professional, but he had bought many pieces of biology-related equipment, which were expensive and hard to get. Fortunately, he only required a few basic facilities, as his mind power was much more powerful in terms of accuracy and fine tuning. In particular, during observations, Lu Zhiyu could accurately detect the changes in the experiment.

There were a CO2 incubator, biological safety cabinet, ultra-low temperature freezer, and other equipment, as well as a wide range of consumables. Lu Zhiyu had used up all of his money, including the funds that his parents had left behind for him, in order to purchase all these items.

When Lu Zhiyu made the investment, he had asked his primary school classmate, Wang Yi, for help. Lu Zhiyu attended primary school in his hometown. Back then, both of them had lived only a few hundred meters away from each other, and they were on good terms.

Wang Yi was currently working as an assistant in a research institution that was jointly owned by a pharmaceutical company and the university. Lu Zhiyu and Wang Yi had not seen each other for a long time, so Wang Yi was rather amazed when Lu Zhiyu suddenly contacted him.

Lu Zhiyu started his experiment with mice. That was right. A pitiful mouse lay on the lab bench, and Lu Zhiyu started to play with the root genetic template of the species according to his own imagination.

However, every time he altered it, the entire genetic chain would collapse at once. The blood in the culture flasks would also lose its bioactivity and was unable to tolerant such random alterations.

Lu Zhiyu realized that the root genetic template must be logical. It must be something that he could understand too, or else it would result in a chain reaction that would cause the genes to collapse.

He started to try putting the information of the humans root template into the animals . After a few trials, Lu Zhiyu successfully created the genes of mouse-people, a hybrid between mice and humans.

Using polymerase chain reaction, Lu Zhiyu immediately duplicated the genes of the mouse-people, using which he created the first generation evolution plasma. He named it the Mouse-people Blood Plasma.

However, when Lu Zhiyu exultantly injected the plasma into the bone marrow of the mouse, it exploded right away! Immediately, Lu Zhiyus heart sank.

After being depressed for quite a while, Lu Zhiyu felt that he might be able to breed a new generation of life from the embryo, instead of directly and brutally trying to modify the genes of a mature animal. It would just be like the way cloned sheep were created!

At this time, a tremendous change in the painting space was noticed!
