Superbase Evolution

Chapter 360: Life is Meaningful
“Since ancient times, purple air has risen from the east... It’s the first light before dawn... Vitality turns into the body of a phoenix... The morning light breaks to welcome the dawn... The bones of the phoenix are as proud as plum blossoms... The courage of the phoenix is as righteous as heaven... The heart of the phoenix is courageous and never retreats... The chant of the phoenix is as heavy as a mountain... The spirit of the phoenix is majestic... The death of the phoenix gives birth to all things..." Wei Wufu's voice echoed in Lin Shen's ears. This was the first time Lin Shen heard Wei Wufu speak such a long paragraph and still be able to maintain fluency.

The sound was sonorous and powerful, like the clanging of metal, or like an iron chisel falling on a stone tablet. Every word was touching and the feeling was indelible.

Lin Shen understood that Wei Wufu was telling him the profound meaning of the Phoenix Purple Qi Art, hoping that he would be able to apply it to other situations.

Feeling the power flowing in Wei Wufu's body and listening to his words, a picture emerged in Lin Shen's mind.

There was darkness between heaven and earth. At the junction of heaven and earth in the far east, a ray of purple morning glow broke through the darkness, rising slowly with light, competing with the darkness that covered the sky.

The purple air turns into a phoenix, flying across the sky and earth, rushing towards the dark void without hesitation. It is proud but not arrogant, righteous and courageous, and it values its promises, not life or death, and will leave a ray of light for the world even if it is broken into pieces.

Lin Shen suddenly seemed to understand why Wei Wufu's skill, Phoenix Secret, had the restriction that he could not retreat during the battle.

Maybe it wasn't the Purple Phoenix Art that restricted Wei Wufu. Only when there is restriction can there be persistence, and only when there is persistence can there be restriction. The restriction of the Phoenix Secret Art was not meant to restrict Wei Wufu, but Wei Wufu's persistence gave the Phoenix Secret Art its character.

Lin Shen seemed to suddenly understand why he could not change the theory of evolution.

Because up to now, he has not really understood the true meaning of the wrong version of the theory of evolution, and has only remained at the technical level.

Wei Wufu asked Lin Shen to observe him practicing the Purple Phoenix Technique because he wanted Lin Shen to understand that the art of evolution has its own artistic conception and style.

Only by understanding the artistic conception and character of the misprinted "The Theory of Evolution", or finding your own artistic conception and character, can you know how to go next and it will be possible to continue the part after the misprinted "The Theory of Evolution".

What exactly is the artistic conception and style of the wrong version of "Theory of Evolution"? Is it the enhanced mutation forced by the environment? Is it the mutation of the self to adapt to the environment? It seems that none of them are, and those are just the level of skills. Lin Shen suddenly found that the evolutionary art he practiced had no artistic conception and style, as if he was just riding the boat of fate and drifting with the flow.

"Becoming a person like Lao Wei? I can't seem to do it. I don't have Lao Wei's stubborn persistence. I'm afraid I will never reach Lao Wei's level in my lifetime." Lin Shen thought in his heart: "Then what kind of person am I? What is my persistence? What are my limitations?"

His four innate skills plus his life-based innate skills have almost no limitations.

Superbase can absorb the power of the world, superbase transformation can activate itself, superbase recasting is tempered, and superbase form makes his body alienated.

It seemed as if all of this was for the betterment of himself. He only demanded from the world but gave nothing in return.

"It's not going to work... It's not going to work..." Lin Shen realized that he couldn't follow Lao Wei's path. From the very beginning, he didn't have Lao Wei's kind of righteousness.

"Since I was able to master the wrong version of 'The Theory of Evolution', maybe it just shows that some of my characteristics are in line with the wrong version of 'The Theory of Evolution', but I just don't know it... Then what characteristics of mine are in line with the wrong version of 'Theory of Evolution'?" Lin Shen thought hard but still couldn't get the answer.

Suddenly, Lin Shen realized something, and his eyes lit up: "What on earth am I doing? Why should I set limits for myself? Why should I limit the theory of evolution? There is no need at all. My heart is the bottom line. Since the theory of evolution has chosen me, then I am its bottom line. We have been born as one."

As Lin Shen's mind turned, the power in his body also began to flow automatically, and the theory of evolution freely let itself go in Lin Shen's body. "I was born in this world and grew up by constantly taking. It seems that I only take but not give. But if you look at it from another angle, can you also say that my existence itself is a kind of giving?"

A blank piece of paper and an unused pencil, it's just a piece of paper and a pencil.

If no one uses them, their existence is meaningless.

If someone picks up a pen and writes something on paper, both the paper and the pen will be used up. It seems to be pure consumption, but doesn't it also give different meanings to the paper and the pen?

In the eyes of the world, asking for things from the world is selfish, but in the eyes of the world, this may be another kind of giving.

Without colors, lines, and ups and downs, there would be no painting; without language, scenery, characters, and events, there would be no story.

Different painters have created different works. Those works may be beautiful, tragic, holy, or evil. In any case, they are no longer a blank.

"Perhaps, all I need to do is to survive, and that's the meaning of my existence in this world. I just need to live well, live wonderfully, live freely, live out myself, and live a different life. That's already my reward to this world..." As Lin Shen's thoughts turned, the power in his body flowed faster and faster, as if responding to Lin Shen's thoughts.

"Yes, that's it. There's no point in me looking for the meaning of life. Living according to my own wishes is the greatest meaning of life." Lin Shen was in great joy, as if he had broken free from shackles.

Even the power in his body seemed to be leaping with joy, flowing freely.

Lin Shen felt that the theory of evolution seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Suddenly, the power flowing from Lin Shen's body, after making a circle, actually flowed into Wei Wufu's body along the trace of power that flowed into Wei Wufu's body from Lin Shen, and poured into Wei Wufu's body.

This scared Lin Shen, because that was the most vulnerable part of Wei Wufu's body. Wei Wufu was still practicing the Phoenix Purple Qi Jue, and disturbing him would have disastrous consequences.

But it seems too late to stop it now. Lin Shen's power continuously poured into Wei Wufu's body, like that ray of power, merging into the torrent of Wei Wufu's power, and constantly flowing along with Wei Wufu's power.

Lin Shen felt even more deeply the magic of Wei Wufu's evolution technique, as if he was practicing the "Phoenix Purple Qi Jue" himself.

Lin Shen felt Wei Wufu's artistic conception and character. The power in Wei Wufu's body was also affected by Lin Shen's theory of evolution, and seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

When Lin Shen's power returned to his body, Wei Wufu's Phoenix Purple Qi Art also stopped working.
