Chapter 75: Reappearance

The screen of the live stream device flickered, and the signal became extremely unstable. The teenager adjusted the antenna in a panic, muttering: "This piece of junk, failing at a critical moment..."

Suddenly, the screen froze on a strange planet.

This planet was pitch black, its surface covered in a kind of viscous liquid, like a massive black tumor floating in the universe.

"What kind of hellish place is this?" The teenager exclaimed, subconsciously looking at Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue also frowned; the energy fluctuation of this planet was abnormally strange, completely opposite to the energy of the Gene Tree, as if it were some kind of... anti-life form.

Just at this moment, a massive crack suddenly opened on the surface of the planet, and countless black branches surged out, growing and spreading crazily.

These branches were like black mirror images of the Gene Tree, filled with an aura of evil and decay.

Even more shocking was that on these black branches, a strange kind of single-celled organism was growing.

They gathered together densely, like a black tide, constantly surging, emitting a hair-raising hissing sound.

"Reverse-Life Clan..." A low voice came from the live stream device, carrying a trace of unspeakable sadness.

In the image, Tang Yun's phantom appeared again, but this time his transparency reached 70%, almost becoming a physical entity. His expression was solemn, his eyes filled with worry.

"This... what's going on?" The teenager was scared pale, his speech beginning to stutter.

"Reverse-Life Clan, a civilization that refuses to evolve." Lin Xiyue explained in a deep voice, "They use a kind of gene solidifying agent to fix themselves in a single-celled state forever, refusing any form of evolution."

The barrage exploded instantly, and countless viewers expressed their shock and confusion.

"Holy crap! There's such an operation? Isn't evolution the truth of the universe?"

"Refusing to evolve? Is this group of single-celled organisms brain-damaged?"

"Evolution is a curse! Only stillness can be eternal!"

The last barrage caught Lin Xiyue's attention.

She noticed that the account that sent this barrage actually came from the planet where the Reverse-Life Clan was located.

"Stillness is not eternal..." Tang Yun's phantom sighed and reached out, trying to purify those single-celled organisms with Chaos Medical Qi.

However, his Chaos Medical Qi actually had no effect on those solidified genes, disappearing without a trace like a clay ox entering the sea.

Just at this moment, a massive figure slowly rose from the crack in the black planet. This was a giant humanoid creature composed of countless single-celled organisms, holding a black long spear, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Order's Spear..." Tang Yun's phantom's expression changed, "Condensed from my failed memories..."

The giant creature raised the Order's Spear and thrust it fiercely at Tang Yun's phantom.

"Evolution only brings war and destruction!" The giant creature's voice was like a roar from hell, "We choose eternal stillness!"

The Order's Spear pierced through Tang Yun's phantom, his transparency instantly dropping by 10%, and his faith value also decreased accordingly.

"Teacher! The Holy Son is..." The teenager pointed at the live stream screen in terror, his voice trembling.

Lin Xiyue stared at the screen with a pale face; on the Gene Tree, the leaf representing the Holy Son actually had a tiny crack...

After being pierced by the Order's Spear, Tang Yun's phantom did not disappear, but quickly dived toward the roots of the black planet.

He had to figure out what the Reverse-Life Clan was, why they could resist Chaos Medical Qi, and even use his failed memories.

The roots of the planet were a chaotic darkness. Tang Yun's phantom traveled through the viscous liquid, feeling as if he were wandering in an endless abyss.

Suddenly, he discovered a black sphere, radiating rich negative energy.

"Seed of Reverse Life..." Tang Yun's phantom reached out, touching this black sphere, "This... this is..."

He was shocked to discover that this Seed of Reverse Life was actually a gene virus cultivated from the Observer's code and Tang Tian's genetic fragments!

Tang Yun tried to purify the Seed of Reverse Life with Chaos Medical Qi, but didn't expect that it would trigger a strange "code backlash."

His phantom began to show cracks of materialization, revealing the data stream flowing underneath.

"So... the Gene Tree... can also get sick..." Tang Yun's phantom let out an intermittent voice, as if it could collapse at any moment...

The core of the Seed of Reverse Life suddenly projected a light screen. In the light screen, a familiar figure slowly emerged; it was Tang Yun's father—Tang Tian.

Tang Tian smiled weakly, his eyes filled with love and helplessness: "Child, you finally came..."

"Father!" Tang Yun's phantom trembled, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Child, I know you have been working hard, wanting to guard the Gene Tree, to guard the evolutionary order of this universe..." Tang Tian's voice was intermittent, as if he could disappear at any moment, "But, you are wrong..."

"Wrong?" Tang Yun's phantom was stunned, "I... where am I wrong?"

"The Gene Tree doesn't need a guardian, but a guide..." Tang Tian reached out, as if wanting to touch Tang Yun, but then dropped his hand powerlessly, "Evolution is not control, but choice..."

Tang Tian's figure gradually dissipated, leaving only the last sentence echoing in Tang Yun's ear: "Child, freedom... is the true meaning of life..."

Tang Yun's phantom stood still, as if struck by lightning. He had always believed that his mission was to guard the Gene Tree, to control the direction of the universe's evolution, and not let any wrong evolution occur.

But now, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

He had always tried to control evolution, rather than guide it; he had deprived other lives of the right to choose, imposing his own will on the entire universe.

"Evolution... is not force... but choice..." Tang Yun muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming clear.

Just at this moment, the giant Reverse-Life Clan creature appeared again, the Order's Spear in its hand flashing with black light.

"Give up resistance, evolutionist! Only stillness is eternal!" The giant creature roared, thrusting at Tang Yun's phantom again.

This time, Tang Yun did not dodge, letting the Order's Spear pierce through his body.

However, the moment the Order's Spear hit Tang Yun, his phantom suddenly exploded, transforming into countless tiny points of light, merging into every single-celled organism of the Reverse-Life Clan.

"Evolution is not force, but choice..." Tang Yun's voice rang out in every Reverse-Life Clan cell, gentle and firm.

In the live stream room, all the viewers were stunned.

They saw that on the black planet, countless single-celled organisms began to change.

Their gene chains began to fork, the originally simple structure gradually becoming complex, beginning to evolve toward multi-cellular organisms.

"This... what's going on?" The teenager widened his eyes, unable to believe the scene he was seeing. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
