Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day-Chapter 407 - 355: Fifth Deep Evolution Complete

At this time, it’s been almost eleven or twelve days since Lu Li revealed he was an Ancestor human on Earth.

Lu Li’s mom and dad have been in a state of extreme bewilderment and worry these days.

The bewilderment goes without saying; they never imagined their son would be the "Murderous Demon King" that makes nations worldwide turn pale with fear.

As for the worry, it’s that during these ten-plus days, the couple has tried to contact their son numerous times but to no avail.

They were so worried that just a few days ago, they returned from Shanghai to Su City, hoping to find out where their son actually is.

Unfortunately, Lu Li has seemingly vanished into thin air, and they couldn’t find any trace of him at all.

In the countryside, in the living room of their house.

Mom sighed, "Where on Earth has that brat gone?"

Dad comforted her, "The news said someone detonated a nuclear bomb with a magnitude of millions of tons on Xiaoli, and he was fine. He shouldn’t be in any big trouble. Don’t worry; he’s probably just busy."

"No matter how busy, he shouldn’t have his phone turned off."

Mom was extremely worried. "No, I have to go search again."

Saying that, she stood up and got ready to go to the city to find her son.

Suddenly, her phone in her pocket rang.

Mom thought it was her son calling back and quickly took it out to check.

To her disappointment, it wasn’t her son calling.

Instead, it was a relative they weren’t very close to before.

They had even had fierce arguments due to some issues in the past.

Although their relationship wasn’t good, Mom, being kind-hearted, answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, before Mom could speak, an old male voice came through: "Cheng Lin, are you busy?"

Cheng Lin is Mom’s name.

She casually responded, "Not busy, Second Uncle, what’s up?"

Hmm, the caller was Lu Li’s grand-uncle.

He spoke with a mix of fear and a desire to flatter, "Um, I’m calling to apologize to you."

Mom was puzzled, "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me without any reason?"

The grand-uncle quickly said, "Isn’t it that a few years back, I argued with you over your grandfather’s funeral arrangements? It was my fault back then, my fault. Don’t take it to heart."

If someone randomly came to apologize for something from years ago, most people’s first reaction would be that this guy probably wants to borrow money.

However, Mom didn’t think that way.

Because she has experienced similar things way too often in these ten-plus days.

For instance, a neighbor from behind, who almost got into a fight over a boundary line dispute with Lu Li’s family, also came to apologize a few days ago.

Or when she went to buy groceries,

a vendor she often bought from suddenly gave her a few hundred bucks once.

The reason for giving so much money was entirely because the vendor had been shortchanging weights for a long time.

There are too many similar things.

At first, Mom and Dad thought these people were having a conscience awakening, but as similar situations increased, they realized something was off. After quietly investigating, they found out these people were apologizing out of fear after learning Lu Li was an Ancestor human, thinking he might annihilate their families.

As for why Lu Li’s grand-uncle called after over ten days, it was probably because of his old age and lack of media exposure, only learning today about Lu Li being an Ancestor human.

Mom furrowed her brows but smiled, "Second Uncle, don’t be ridiculous. Do I look like someone who holds grudges? Alright, it’s been years since then. Don’t overthink it."

"Yes, yes, yes," Lu Li’s grand-uncle bobbed his head, quickly adding, "You must tell Xiaoli that I’ve apologized to you and he shouldn’t take it to heart."

Mom couldn’t help but roll her eyes; she’d anticipated this kind of situation long ago.

She casually brushed off the matter and hung up the call.

Dad looked over, asking, "Second Uncle is scared stiff by Xiaoli?"

Mom said speechlessly, "Isn’t he? This kind of thing has happened at least fifty if not a hundred times lately. Look how scared they are; is our son really that terrifying?"

"Just because we don’t find our son scary doesn’t mean others don’t,"

Dad said, handing her his phone, "Look at the online ’Global Top Ten Influential Figures’ list."

Mom was taken aback, "’Global Top Ten Influential Figures’ list? What’s it got to do with our son?"

Dad urged, "See for yourself, won’t you?"

...

Online, the preliminary voting for this year’s ’Global Top Ten Influential Figures’ is underway.

This selection generally depends on online voting and social media participation, going through a relatively long process to choose the top ten figures of the year who impacted the world.

For instance, last year’s top ten influential global figures included, besides the fifth-ranked famous singer Dao Lang from our country, almost all major figures from countries or armed organizations.

This year’s preliminary voting includes, besides major figures from countries and armed organizations, many business people, celebrities, and the like.

Most of these people have quite a few fans.

For example, Zhao Chun’ai, who once met Lu Li, released a song about peace this year, causing quite a stir globally and now is listed as a candidate, participating in this voting.

A lot of her fans are supporting her.

"Wow, goddess!"

"My sexy goddess is nominated for the global top ten influential figures list. Support, definitely support."

"Aibao, go for it! We will surely elevate you!"

"The song ’Love and Peace’ is fabulous. It’s one of the few songs in our language to cause a global sensation. I will definitely support Aibao!"

"Aibao! I love you so much!"

Looking at the supporters’ usernames, it’s clear that Zhao Chun’ai’s fan base is relatively stable, mostly consisting of guys.

Of course, the candidates in the Huaxia region are not limited to Zhao Chun’ai.

There is also the goodwill ambassador Zhao Xueli.

This year, she has been traveling around the world to aid disaster relief and support impoverished children in their studies.

Many people support this woman.

Bigwigs from various countries, such as the Big Goose, Black Rooster, and Old Ugly, are among her supporters.

Many people are casting their votes.

Even though it’s only the primary stage, the number of votes is quite substantial.

For example, Zhao Xueli is ranked sixty-third, and her votes have reached an astonishing 3.6 million.

Zhao Chun’ai is ranked higher than Zhao Xueli.

After all, the exposure of a star can’t be compared with that of a goodwill ambassador.

She is ranked forty-second, with votes reaching 5.5 million.

Currently, in second place is a certain bigwig from the Big Goose, who topped last year’s global top ten most influential people list.

His votes are around 23.76 million at the moment.

However, what comes as a shock is that the first-place votes have reached a terrifying 90 million.

Moreover, this first place doesn’t have a known name like the other candidates.

It’s just a blank name, without even an introduction.

That is to say, apart from the candidacy, there is no other information.

Yet even so, this candidate’s votes continue to climb.

Below, many people are commenting.

"It has to be him!"

"He must be the most influential person in the world this year!"

"Hey, guys, why are you all voting for a candidate with a blank name? Who on Earth is he?"

"Wow, you still don’t know who this blank name is?"

"No, who is he?"

"He is an entity whose name cannot be spoken, someone we can’t afford to offend, or else one slip of the tongue could lead to the demise of your entire family. Voting for him can’t be wrong."

"Yes, we don’t dare to mention this gentleman’s name."

"Don’t mention his name. I dare not touch anything related to him. Even my favorite McBao King, because he endorses it, I don’t dare to eat it anymore, fearing that one day I might give a bad review and incur his wrath leading to my downfall."

"Oh, are you talking about the Ancestor?"

"Damn, how dare you mention that gentleman’s name? Are you tired of living?"

"Quick, delete it! Delete that comment now!"

"If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!"

Countless netizens were terrified.

They urged the netizen who mentioned the Ancestor’s name to delete the comment.

It was evident how much fear they held for that name.

A moment later, the comment was deleted.

At first, many netizens thought it was deleted voluntarily by the netizen.

However, someone took a closer look and found that the netizen’s account had been directly banned by the website, citing reasons of jeopardizing online security.

The website got so scared that they banned the account of the netizen who mentioned the gentleman’s name?

While the netizens found it ridiculous, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

They probably knew that the gentleman was far more terrifying than they imagined.

Finally, the two-day primary voting concluded.

The final result was that the blank name in the first place topped the list with 234.63 million votes.

The second place?

Only had a total of just over 46 million votes!

The gap was a staggering nearly 200 million votes!

However, no one was surprised by this result.

Some were still commenting over there.

"As expected, he’s in first place."

"Well, 200 million votes are still too few."

"Many people probably didn’t dare to vote, or else there would have been more."

"Indeed, if there was a ’Top Ten Most Terrifying People in the World’ list, I bet he could break a billion votes!"

"Pfft, if such a list existed, would you dare to vote? I wouldn’t dare, fearing that gentleman might kill my entire family."

Netizens kept sighing and expressing how much fear they truly had of that unmentionable gentleman.

...

On Mercury.

Lu Li finally woke up after sleeping for two days and nights!

At this moment, he still didn’t know that he had been voted to the top spot in the preliminary selection of the ’Top Ten Global Influential People’ by netizens from various countries on Earth.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

Because at this moment, Lu Li had completed his fifth deep evolution.

He felt an incredibly powerful force surging within him!
