Cain was surprised and confused by those words. As a member of the Godslayer Humankind and having access to an immense amount of scientific knowledge, he knew what genes were. Still, he had no idea what this new module would do for him or why the Absolute Life Form System’s Creator thought it would be good to have it at the start of his journey.

Luckily, a moment after Cain activated the module, the Absolute Life From System gave him a detailed explanation.

[Genetic Coder Module: Module meant to grant Vessel the means to control life’s fundamental building blocks.

-Tools: – Basic Genetic Stimulation

– Basic Genetic Suppression

– Basic Genetic Enhancement]

.....

Although Cain got an idea of those tools’ purpose by their names, he was still full of doubts, but a voice interrupted his train of thought.

“It is late, and remaining here is not a good idea. Get rid of the body, destroy the jamming sphere, take the weapon, and burn your clothes before returning home. I will guide you since it’s your first time using the [Genetic Coder Module].”

Apex’s voice drew Cain back to reality, and he stared at the corpse close to him. When he decided to kill Kiron, he already shredded any idea of involving the authorities, so he followed the System Spirit’s instructions.

Cain did his best to harden his spirit and grabbed the corpse before running for almost two hours. He reached a cave home to some wild beast and threw the corpse.

No one should know that Kiron came here. After all, how could that youth go telling people he would go to kill someone. By the time someone found his body, he would be nothing more than animal waste.

After that, Cain went to a river where he started a small bonfire. Before washing his body, he burned all his clothes, destroyed the sphere, and threw the pieces in the water. After ensuring there was no iota of Kiron’s blood or DNA, he returned to his training center.

He started a controlled fire to burn any sign of struggle and evidence left from the battle before going toward the spear still embedded in the tree.

As soon as Cain touched the spear, he felt an electric current emerge from his body into the weapon.

“Done. I have erased the serial number and any digital information about it. You can use it freely now.”

Cain was surprised by Apex’s words. He trembled for a moment as he imagined what would have happened had he shown this spear on the outside. It would be like shouting to the wind that he had killed Kiron.

As for how Apex did it, Cain guessed that he used the [Basic Hacking] tool from the [A.I. Chip Module].

It took a lot of effort to bring the spear out of the tree, but once Cain did it, this one shrunk to a small rod less than twenty centimeters long.

Next, a somewhat bizarre scene occurred, as a naked youth ran through the forest before sneaking back into his home. Luckily, it was night, and few people were on the streets, so he went unnoticed.

Cain put on some clothes, and after making a reverence to the altar with the picture of his father, he sat down and adopted a meditative position as he figured out all that had happened.

Apex allowed the youth to rest and spoke only after seeing Cain’s eyes regain their usual firmness.

“Pay attention, brat, as I don’t like to repeat myself. You have unsealed the [Genetic Coder Module] and accessed three tools, including the [Basic Genetic Stimulation].

According to your Empire Science Academy records, members of the Godslayer Humankind have different types of bloodlines latent inside your bodies.

Your ancestors obtained those bloodlines in many different ways. However, due to the descendents’ lack of training, they were diluted and slowly became dormant, with only some genes left, so weak that they were incapable of expressing their might.

The [Basic Genetic Stimulation] will locate and activate those hidden genes, allowing you to awaken a dormant bloodline.”

Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that, and he could not help but tremble as excitement filled his heart. There were many ways to improve one’s Wave Talent, and bloodlines were one of the most common and effective ways!

“Before you get too excited, unlike the [A.I. Chip Module], which was part of you from the beginning, to use the [Genetic Coder Module], you need to spend Destiny Force.”

When Cain heard that last term, he immediately remembered the last question he had about the Absolute Life Form System.

Apex knew the question that appeared in Cain’s mind, so he began to explain what Destiny Force was.

“The Absolute Life From System is not omnipotent, brat. Everything must come from somewhere, and the system uses Destiny Force as fuel.

To understand Destiny Force, you must first grasp the concept of destiny.

A life form’s destiny can be considered the amalgamation of his entire existence. Its core components are talent, willpower, perception, background, and even luck.

Destiny is not static. It grows and weakens according to your actions and decisions.

When you decide to enter a danger zone searching for a treasure, and against all odds, you manage to return alive, that will evolve your destiny. And when you chose to escape as fear overcame your will, that would also change your destiny.

Lucky changes present themselves at all times. Whether or not one takes them is what separates shooting stars from mere moths.

Thanks to the flawed connection between your soul and the Eternal River of the Afterlife, the Absolute Life Form System can transform your destiny into a quantitative force, useful for its modules.

You are lucky as the system came with 10 Destiny Force points, which will be enough for the first activation of [Basic Genetic Stimulation].”

Although the concept of destiny still felt illusory for Cain, he understood enough of it from Apex’s explanation. Still, there were two questions in his mind.

“Will the Absolute Life From System give me missions to obtain more Destiny Force? Also, you say the system came with 10 points, but I have 10.2, so where the rest from.”

“Hmph, brat, do you think the Absolute Life From System is your babysitter, guiding you by the hand? If you want Destiny Force, go out and get it. Only garbage needs others to tell them what to do when the answer is right in front of them.”

Apex’s tone showed that he clearly had a negative picture of those who refuse to take their lives into their hands and let others decide for them.

He made a slight pause before continuing speaking, and this time his voice carried a sense of viciousness.

“As for the extra 0.2 points. While lucky chances are the most effective way to obtain Destiny Force, they are not the only ones. You can steal destiny, and the way to do it is very straightforward.”

Cain froze as he figured out the hidden message behind Apex’s words.

“Hahaha, that is right, brat. You can steal the destiny of others by killing them! The one you killed before was garbage, but his destiny was still great enough, so killing him granted you that 0.2 Destiny Force.”

Killing a man who wanted to take his life shook Cain to his core, yet the Absolute Life Form System wanted him to go on a killing spree.

“Brat, the world is cruel and full of danger. Killing is a part that no one can avoid. Showing mercy to your enemies will only bring you suffering. You should learn that soon, or else you will regret it.”

Cain did not attempt to argue with Apex since he knew he would not win. He took a deep breath before stabilizing his emotions, and then he sent a command to the Absolute Life Form System.

“System, activate [Basic Genetic Stimulation].”

[Basic Gene Stimulation requires 10 Destiny Force points. Does Vessel want to continue?]

“?Yes!”

[Activating Basic Genetic Stimulation.]

Cain felt how his blood and flesh began to burn the next second. A sense of utter exhaustion assaulted him, and he fell asleep.

As the power of the Absolute Life From System through the [Genetic Coder Module] changed the essence of his body, Cain began to dream.

He had lost his body and was now mighty lightning that moved through storm clouds. All creatures beneath him lower their heads, except for one.

A giant gorilla, the size of a mountain, roared at the sky. However, it did not do it for long, as a lightning pillar descended and split its body in two!

After the lighting pillar butchered that massive gorilla, it began to condense into a majestic two-meter tall wolf.

Cain’s size was nothing compared to the gorilla, but he managed to kill the latter in a single strike. There was blood all over his fur, giving him a terrifying look.
