The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

In Taichu Lake, on the island.

"Shuling, fuse all light-related abilities, and invest 500,000 reading points."

Wang Mingyang looked at the azure-colored energy ball in his mind and issued another order.

[Consume 500,000 reading points, and the fusion begins...]

[This fusion takes 7 hours. ]

[The host's current reading value: 36,236,700 points. ]

Before New Year's Eve, Wang Mingyang invested 500,000 reading points and fused the wind-related abilities.

The final result was the S-level wind-related ability [Hand of Storm].

Unlike other wind-related abilities, the Hand of Storm seems to be more inclined to large-scale attacks.

A random attack will form a tornado, and countless fine wind blades will automatically cut the target.

Wang Mingyang can even condense it into a spear, exerting extremely powerful penetrating power.

Zhu Bai's previous control of the wind can also do this.

But the power and release speed are obviously not as good as [Hand of Storm].

And the Hand of Storm can also launch a strong wind to carry people flying, just like the wild wind in Journey to the West.

Well, the comfort level is much worse than the control of wind.

Wang Mingyang didn't feel anything about this, he just needed an A-level or above wind ability.

It takes seven hours to fuse the light ability.

Wang Mingyang didn't plan to wait like this.

He also had a commonly used ability to be upgraded.

A-level wood ability-Life Bloom.

"Shuling, invest one million reading points to upgrade Life Bloom."

Wang Mingyang didn't plan to fuse this ability, he had already created another A-level wood ability [Heart of the Forest].

It can gather forest guards from the energy of heaven and earth to fight, which is quite similar to the elemental summoning of time philosophy.

Not only that, it can also establish a certain connection with plants, so as to obtain the effect of reconnaissance.

Being in a place with lush vegetation, the combat power is even stronger.

However, Wang Mingyang obviously doesn't need such an ability to enhance combat power.

Therefore, this ability can only be used as a material for fusion.

[Upgrade successfully, obtain S-level wood ability-rotation of withering and flourishing. ]

[rotation of withering and flourishing: one thought withers, one thought flourishes. The host can control the life force, withering and flourishing in just one thought. 】

[The host's current reading value: 35236700 points. 】

"One thought withers, one thought flourishes..."

Wang Mingyang murmured in a low voice, and realized something.

The original bloom of life was pure flourishing, healing injuries and restoring vitality.

Now it has become a cycle of withering and flourishing, perhaps...

Wang Mingyang's mind moved, and a third-level mutant fish immediately flew out of Taichu Lake.

Controlling the fish to float in front of him, Wang Mingyang gently grabbed it with his palm and activated [Withering and Flourishing Cycle].

The next moment, the life force that seemed to exist emerged from the fish.

It was like a stream converging in his palm.

And the third-level mutant fish gradually became dry and visibly dried up.

It was as if all the water and life energy in the body were sucked away by Wang Mingyang's palm.

Wang Mingyang paused slightly, and the life energy gathered in his hand flowed back.

The mutant fish, which was not yet dead, showed amazing changes again.

The flesh and blood quickly became full, and it swung its tail again and struggled continuously.

"Withering and flourishing... the cycle of life and death..."

Wang Mingyang's eyes gradually lit up. This [Withering and flourishing] actually has the power to control life and death.

In other words, it can inject life energy for healing.

At the same time, it can also absorb life energy and deprive the other party of life.

It really deserves to be a thought of withering and flourishing!

Wang Mingyang casually threw the mutant fish that came back to life back into Taichu Lake and pressed his palm on the sand.

The surrounding energy quickly gathered towards his palm.

The majestic vitality poured into the ground with his palm.

The grass twisted wildly and grew rapidly.

In less than a few seconds, the grass had grown to half a person's height.

The island that had originally turned into a sandy land unexpectedly became lush again.

Wang Mingyang floated into the air and grabbed the island below with his palm.

The green life energy gathered rapidly.

The grass became withered visibly and quickly turned into ashes.

Finally, it became a green ball of light in his hand.

"Not bad..."

Wang Mingyang nodded slightly and slapped the green light ball into his body. The surging vitality made him feel refreshed.

Ignoring the small island below that turned into sand again, Wang Mingyang flew back to the Genting base.

...

In the Genting villa, Lin Xiangyi rushed in with a report in his hand. Seeing Wang Mingyang alone in the villa, he immediately whispered.

"Boss, the report is out."

"Any findings?"

Wang Mingyang put down the book in his hand and poured Lin Xiangyi a cup of tea.

"Boss, your blood is very...strange."

Lin Xiangyi took a sip of the teacup, his face looked a little strange, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

Handed over the report in his hand.

"Strange? Tell me the details."

Wang Mingyang was slightly startled and waved his hand indifferently.

He couldn't understand such a complicated report, so it was more convenient to listen to Lin Xiangyi's report directly.

"Well, I studied it for a whole day and did find something."

Lin Xiangyi adjusted his glasses and continued to speak carefully:

"First, your cell activity factor is very strong, stronger than you can imagine. This was observed when making the regeneration potion before."

The manufacture of the regeneration potion has always been controlled by Lin Xiangyi.

He had long suspected that the pale golden blood provided by Wang Mingyang was the boss's own blood.

This time, Wang Mingyang did not hesitate to let Lin Xiangyi study the blood, which also confirmed his guess.

Therefore, he completed this research completely by himself.

He did not reveal anything to anyone.

"Second, there is a very strange phenomenon in your blood cells."

"To be precise, your genes should have changed."

"Normal humans, including those with superpowers, only have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Even if you awaken superpowers, this does not change."

"At most, some so-called gene locks are opened, thus awakening various superpowers, or... becoming a zombie."

Lin Xiangyi seemed to be much calmer, and slowly expressed his views.

"So, where is my change?"

"There are 24 pairs of chromosomes in your genes..."

"One more pair?!"

Wang Mingyang was stunned and felt very strange. Why did he suddenly have an extra pair of chromosomes?

Is it really because of the source blood?

"Yes, this pair of chromosomes... how should I put it, it seems to give you new abilities, boss."

"It should be able to make your body undergo a huge change, similar to the transformation ability, but more powerful!"

Lin Xiangyi's eyes lit up and whispered. He had studied the bodies of many superpowers in Yunding.

Especially the fat man and Nie Chuan who have the transformation ability.

It made Lin Xiangyi very interested.

"Transformation ability... Do the fat man and others have an extra pair of chromosomes?"

Wang Mingyang nodded slightly. The Yinglong transformation brought by the Dragon Ancestor was indeed very powerful.

"No, their genes are still 23 pairs of chromosomes."

Lin Xiangyi shook his head and continued: "Boss, I have done a comparison. The extra pair of chromosomes you have gives me a feeling..."

"It seems that they should be there by nature, but I don't know why we lost them..."
