    Chapter 201

    For the first time in a very long while, Su Hao once again experienced the feeling he had when he lived with Old Zhao.

    He felt completely relaxed.

    The constant sense of danger that had lingered in the back of his mind seemed to have disappeared.

    No illness threatened him.

    No powerful enemy lurked in the shadows.

    Nothing seemed capable of taking his life anymore.

    Without danger...

    Without worries...

    He could quietly lose himself among books, slowly building his own private world of knowledge without the slightest pressure.

    It was a wonderful feeling.

    Like suddenly being freed from endless monthly burdens—mortgages, car payments, living expenses...

    For the first time in years, he could truly live exactly as he wished.


    ---

    Inside Marble Space...

    Su Hao sat quietly in a chair.

    A book rested in his hands as he slowly turned each page.

    It had been a very long time since he had seriously immersed himself in academic study.

    At first...

    It was surprisingly difficult.

    Not because he lacked interest.

    Rather, after so many years away from formal learning, much of his foundational knowledge and even his habits of thinking had gradually faded.

    So instead of forcing himself forward...

    He returned to the beginning.

    He picked up the books he had once studied, reviewing them from the simplest concepts to the most advanced, patiently rebuilding his entire knowledge system.


    ---

    He began with mathematics.

    Just relearning everything he had once mastered took nearly two months.

    Only after completing that review did Su Hao suddenly realize something.

    The mathematics he had recovered...

    Was merely a tiny fraction of everything stored inside Marble Space.

    How long would it take to truly master all of mathematics?

    Ten years?

    Twenty?

    Perhaps even longer.

    And mathematics was only one subject.

    There was still physics...

    Chemistry...

    Biology...

    Astronomy...

    Information science...

    Engineering...

    Every discipline possessed an ocean of knowledge.

    If each one demanded twenty years...

    Even if he lived until old age, he might never finish learning everything before his body naturally died.


    ---

    Su Hao couldn't help sighing.

    "In the end..."

    "My brain simply isn't good enough."

    "If I possessed the talent of someone like Einstein..."

    "My learning speed would be countless times greater."

    "I could save decades."

    "It's unfortunate..."

    "I'm nothing more than an ordinary person."


    ---

    Then...

    A thought suddenly flashed across his mind.

    "Genius..."

    Su Hao slowly raised his head.

    "What exactly is a genius?"

    In his understanding...

    Genius was nothing more than talent combined with effort.

    He had never lacked effort.

    What he lacked...

    Was talent.

    That mysterious one percent of inspiration people always talked about.

    Then another thought emerged.

    His eyes gradually brightened.

    "...Wait."

    "I don't naturally possess talent..."

    "But can't I simply create it?"


    ---

    He had already created entirely new extraordinary bloodlines.

    Creating a more intelligent brain...

    Shouldn't be any more difficult than that.

    "It sounds perfectly reasonable."

    The more he thought about it...

    The more excited he became.

    "I may never become one of those once-in-a-millennium natural geniuses..."

    "But I can study why they're geniuses."

    "And then reproduce those traits."

    "As the saying goes..."

    "As long as the mind doesn't give up..."

    "There are always more solutions than problems."

    "If I understand genius itself..."

    "Then I can become a genius."


    ---

    "A Genius Gene..."

    "What if I simply designed one for myself?"

    The more he imagined it...

    The happier he became.

    Learning mathematics had unexpectedly led him toward improving his own intelligence.


    ---

    Soon...

    His thoughts shifted toward another possibility.

    The Prophet sequence.

    According to everything he had learned...

    The Prophet possessed four extraordinary abilities:

    Acquisition.

    Analysis.

    Recording.

    Simulation.

    To support those abilities...

    The Prophet naturally possessed an exceptionally powerful brain.

    Almost every Prophet was born a genius.

    If he could integrate those capabilities into himself...

    Combined with Marble Space...

    And Little Light...

    The results would be unimaginable.

    Even Little Light itself might evolve further.


    ---

    Su Hao immediately made his decision.

    "My next upgrade..."

    "Will be my brain."

    "I'll evolve into a Prophet."


    ---

    It was also the first time he intended to use one of his own gene modification serums on himself.

    To be honest...

    He hesitated.

    What if the experiment destroyed his brain?

    Would he simply die and begin wandering through the universe once again?

    "...No."

    "I shouldn't rush."

    "I'll test it on someone else first."


    ---

    Two months later...

    The experiments succeeded.

    The test subjects successfully acquired two of the Prophet's innate abilities.

    The improvement before and after modification was astonishing.

    Their logical thinking improved dramatically.

    Their learning speed became frightening.

    Their imitation ability also increased enormously.

    Combined with Acquisition and Analysis...

    The difference was almost like comparing two different species.

    After confirming everything was safe...

    Su Hao finally decided...

    It was his turn.


    ---

    What he didn't yet realize...

    Was that self-experimentation was something impossible to stop once begun.

    There were only two possibilities.

    Never.

    Or endlessly.

    The moment he performed the first modification on himself...

    There would inevitably be a second.

    And a third.


    ---

    Before beginning...

    He carefully removed several unnecessary genetic segments.

    He had no intention of permanently turning those two condemned criminals into geniuses.

    After trimming away those portions...

    The two test subjects returned to normal.

    Only...

    They had forgotten many things.

    They vaguely remembered once being extraordinarily intelligent...

    But couldn't recall why.

    This immediately caught Su Hao's attention.

    "So..."

    "Reversing genetic enhancement can erase memories?"

    After additional experiments...

    He confirmed it.

    Unexpectedly...

    He had discovered an entirely new application.

    Memory modification.


    ---

    After making every preparation...

    Su Hao finally injected himself with the refined genetic serum.


    ---

    "Let's see..."

    "Can an ordinary person truly become a genius?"


    ---

    Darkness quietly swallowed his consciousness.


    ---

    When he awoke...

    His head felt unbearably heavy.

    Almost as though it had been filled with liquid metal.

    His thoughts were sluggish.

    Everything seemed distant.

    His first reaction was disappointment.

    "...Did it fail?"

    But as his consciousness gradually recovered...

    He quickly noticed something different.

    "No."

    "It succeeded."

    "My brain simply needs more time to finish adapting."

    Activating the Prophet abilities...

    And synchronizing with them...

    Would likely require several more days.


    ---

    Unable to suppress his excitement...

    Su Hao gently touched his forehead.

    "So..."

    "I'm finally a genius."

    He couldn't help laughing.

    What delighted him most wasn't becoming a genius in this lifetime.

    It was knowing...

    That in every future world...

    He would always be able to recreate this enhancement.

    From now on...

    He could permanently leave behind the limitations of ordinary talent.

    "If I wanted..."

    "I could even create an entire race of geniuses."


    ---

    At this moment...

    Su Hao became completely certain.

    His path had been correct from the very beginning.

    Knowledge...

    Was the true source of strength.

    The more knowledge he accumulated...

    The stronger he would become.

    And once his knowledge reached a sufficiently high level...

    He would finally possess the qualifications to step beyond the boundaries of a single world...

    And explore the universe itself.


    ---

    Because his body was still adapting to the new genetic changes...

    Su Hao decided to rest for a while.

    He walked into the courtyard.

    Created a small cushion with Diamond Armor.

    Sat down cross-legged.

    And quietly entered meditation.

    This habit had begun during his lifetime as Wu Xiangwu.

    Since then...

    He had never abandoned it.

    Although his spiritual power no longer seemed to improve noticeably...

    He continued meditating regularly.


    ---

    When he finally opened his eyes...

    His mind had become perfectly calm.

    As always...

    He began reviewing everything that had happened recently.

    Examining his thoughts.

    His decisions.

    His actions.

    This had long since become his own method of cultivation.

    Even if the improvements were subtle...

    Su Hao valued this practice immensely.

    He understood one simple truth.

    Only through constant reflection could a person continue moving forward.

    Only by repeatedly examining oneself...

    Could one avoid straying onto the wrong path.

    The journey ahead was unimaginably long.

    Taking a wrong turn now...

    Could cost thousands of years later.

    He emptied every distracting thought from his mind...

    Leaving only quiet contemplation.

    After an unknown amount of time...

    Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.

    A trace of confusion appeared on his face.

    "...Hmm?"
