Time: After the duel between Mu Cang and Wu Zhan.

Location: Lighthouse Free Federation.

Among the desolate mountains, inside the secret base of Fu Company.

After awarding the task of leaving the ‘Angel’s Bones’ to the Dark Star, Monroe Holmes pondered again:

"With Abram's ability, it is somewhat difficult to complete this mission."

On the big screen in front of him, an image of Mu Cang examining a crystal skull was being projected.

"So it's best to use him to test this 'humanoid nuclear weapon'."

Tang Henyu said in a charming voice, "After all, only Dark Star's ability is more suitable, and even if I lose... I won't feel bad."

"Well... okay." Monroe said nonchalantly, "Since the order has been issued, let's do it."

"yes."

"well--"

Monroe sighed, "Looking back at the past, neither Leonardo nor I thought that these two weak flames of science and superpower... would one day be so powerful that they could tear apart the glory of the 'Lord'."

"da Vinci?"

Tang Henyu asked curiously, "Boss, I have always been wondering why you didn't extend Leonardo da Vinci's life back then?"

"This is it."

Munro seemed to be lost in memories and said leisurely, "Because he...has no obsession with immortality."

…

The poet Petrarch once said:

"I don't want to become God or live in eternity. The glory that belongs to humans is enough for me. This is all I pray for. I am a mortal, and I only ask for...the happiness of mortals."

At the beginning of the 16th century, the continent of Europe.

University of Bologna, Italy.

"Ignorance and blind obedience may lead to disaster. Only by relying on rational self-salvation can we gain new life."

The young-looking Monroe Holmes had a clear voice and wrote on the blackboard one stroke at a time.

The students below the podium were equally attentive.

As a rare young talent in this university, Monroe had many admirers, and people were amazed by how knowledgeable and talented he was at such a young age.

But no one knew that Monroe was no smarter than anyone else.

All his knowledge was acquired through hard work on his own.

In terms of age, he may be older than the oldest professor in the school.

Not long after, the class ended.

Wow——

In the corridors that connect the classrooms, students and teachers are coming and going incessantly, and the sound of discussions is endless.

"Please give way, thank you, please give way."

Monroe walked through the crowd holding the teaching materials while smiling and nodding to the students and teachers passing by.

When a familiar teacher saw him, he asked curiously: "Professor Holmes, where are you going in a hurry? I heard that you have asked for leave."

"Oh, Mr. Leicester, a friend wrote to me saying that he has something important to do. You know the guy from the Polytechnic Institute." Monroe hurried past and replied quickly with a smile.

"Polytechnic...friend..." Leicester thought for a while and suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out to be that artist."

By this time, Monroe had already walked away and could not answer him.

The next morning.

Click~click~

The beat of horseshoes slowed down, and Monroe arrived in Milan in a carriage.

After getting off the carriage, he looked up at the distant house shrouded in bright sunshine, pressed his hat and walked slowly over.

…

Looking at the apparently extremely ancient stone carving fragments on the table, Munro raised his head in confusion, looked at his friend opposite who was writing and drawing, and frowned:

"Da Vinci, my friend, is this the important item you mentioned in your letter?"

"It looks like it's just a... stone with some age."

"Well…"

Hearing the disappointment hidden in the other person's tone, Da Vinci pondered noncommittally for a moment, raised his head and said with an incomprehensible expression, "My friend, do you know... prehistoric civilization?"

"Prehistoric civilization? I have heard of this pioneering theory."

Monroe frowned even more tightly, "However, that is nonsense. The world was created by God. Nothing existed before creation, so prehistoric civilization is a paradox."

"This involves another issue."

Da Vinci slowly said, "Does Genesis really exist? Is God omniscient and omnipotent?"

"This..." Monroe's eyes widened and he looked his friend up and down in surprise, "Da Vinci, you should know that you have blasphemed God when you said this!"

"Haha." The other party's beard trembled and he smiled, "We are friends, there are only two of us here, not to mention..."

Da Vinci blinked his eyes and said with a humorous smile: "This is Milan, not the Tribunal of Rome."

"Well..." Monroe folded his arms and pursed his lips without saying a word.

His intuition told him that this genius friend in front of him would definitely say something shocking later.

But his curiosity has grown more and more, so...it doesn't hurt to listen.

After a while, Munro loosened his collar and said solemnly:

"My friend, what did you find?"

Da Vinci sat up and looked out the window.

He did not speak directly about his discovery. Instead, he seemed to be lost in memories and said with a vague expression: "What I want to say is that when I was very young, I could always see some bizarre scenes."

"The roaring sky, the angry ocean, the collapsing earth..." Leonardo da Vinci looked at the lush palm tree outside the window, his eyes flashing:

"This tree is ten times older than me, but now I can see its tender appearance when it just sprouted."

"you mean……"

Monroe looked at Da Vinci with an uncertain expression.

"And you, my friend."

Da Vinci turned around and looked over with bright eyes:

"I saw you, I saw you grow old and regain your youth several times, I saw you fighting with wild beasts in the wilderness, and in the dark corner of the village, struggling to avoid the pursuit of ignorant villagers."

"You..." Monroe looked at him blankly with his eyes wide open, speechless, "You, you also have the power given by God?! You can see the past of things!"

"Has God given you the power..."

Da Vinci pondered this term carefully, shook his head and said: "Maybe, but I would rather define our kind of people - people with special abilities.

Human beings with special and abnormal abilities.”

He turned to look at the brown leather sofa in the living room:

"I can often see what an old sofa looked like when it was younger."

"But for the vegetation and rocks in nature, I can at most see what they looked like hundreds of years ago.

But if it was man-made, I mean, if there was a piece of fine stone that was made into floor tiles by masons in BC and placed in the Senate House in Rome, I might have been able to see the scene when Caesar was killed."

Monroe frowned and analyzed slowly: "What you mean is that when you come into contact with objects made by people, you can break through the boundaries of your vision of spying on time."

Da Vinci said leisurely: "To be precise, I can use the artificial objects that are the result of the change process of natural materials caused by beings with souls and spirits as the main cause, to peek into a certain range of scenes around that point in time, and

The precise moment when that artifact was born.”

"call--"

Monroe took a long breath and asked nervously, "So, what exactly did you find?!"

"What I want to say is, when I touched this stone carving brought from an underground cave by an explorer friend...guess what I 'saw'?" Leonardo da Vinci tapped the table gently.

"I'm a little angry." Monroe frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "I found that you like to show off. This is not a good habit."

"Okay, okay." Da Vinci shrugged and smiled, "I'll tell you everything."

"Yeah." Monroe straightened up and looked like he was listening.

Da Vinci dropped his smile and said firmly: "Genesis does not exist!"

"What?!" Monroe's eyes widened and he was speechless in shock.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
