Chapter 42: Unknown Hard Work

It was late at night, and the Roman-style terrace was filled with secondhand sunlight from the moon that turned silver after being refracted.

The cool night breeze gently blew the blood-red curtains on both sides of the porch in the terrace, as if expressing its tenderness.

But the curtains made of heavy silk brocade were accustomed to this and indifferent, only the tassels at the bottom responded to its touch unwillingly.

Calvin sat in the center of the quiet room, and the quiet and low heartbeats of the two paladins on duty outside the door were clear and powerful in such a night.

With the help of the paladins, Calvin, who took off his armor and washed up simply, just wore a simple linen shirt and sat in the center of the quiet room to start a day of meditation.

At this stage, Calvin's meditation occupies most of his time in his daily practice.

In the eyes of the paladins around him, the Primarch has too many inhuman characteristics.

Without the need for hard training like mortals, Calvin just sat there quietly, and his body strength and combat experience were growing at an amazing speed that ordinary people could not understand.

Considering his special status, the people around Calvin are used to it.

After all, what is the growth path and principle of the Primarch? In the entire empire, except for themselves, perhaps only the Majesty on the throne can explain it clearly.

So when a "cub" of the Primarch appears in front of you and starts to grow rapidly from a small one every three days to a big one every ten days, what you can do is just to witness this magical process.

But unlike the inhuman eyes of the outside world looking at Calvin, family members know their own affairs. Calvin's seemingly relaxed meditation every day actually contains a huge and unknown workload.

From a broad perspective, he needs to do two things:

First, he will continue the cell-level transformation work that was stimulated by the "Holy Blood Trial".

Once this work started, his body's evolutionary instinct to a higher level of life form has spontaneously begun to promote the process of this transformation.

In an unconscious state, the self-evolution of these cells will abandon Calvin's active choice when he intentionally pays attention to and interferes, and ignore his imitation of the basic energy runes from the Blood of the Emperor through microscopic psychic transformation.

Instead, they follow the instinctive pattern of biological evolution, transform themselves by exhaustively using the information in RNA, and finally approach the target Blood of the Emperor in continuous iteration.

It is conceivable that if Calvin just left this process alone after the initial trial, then based on this efficiency alone, the progress of the transformation may remain unchanged after hundreds of years.

Therefore, active interference has become Calvin's helpless move, but the side effect of abnormal small batches of high-frequency high-energy cell iterations is the desire for energy intake.

This is also the main reason why Calvin still needs to maintain a long-term intake of high-energy food in his daily life after the transformation operation.

And considering the relevant records provided by the mentors about the huge appetite of other gene primarchs during the growth period.

Calvin had reason to suspect that they actually had similar abilities, but according to the different progress of each of them in the cultivation of the soul side, their utilization rate of this gift from the Emperor was also very different.

In contrast, Calvin, who appeared last, might be the luckiest one.

Before accepting this gift, the growth of his soul side had already reached a state that no one else could reach except the Emperor.

And the reverse catalysis of the spark of the divine soul to the high-energy biological cells on the physical side is probably something that other gene primarchs cannot have.

The future is a good check, but the work that can't see the end at the moment still makes people feel tired.

It has been three years since Calvin passed the "Holy Blood Trial", but his transformation and imitation of cells has only barely broken through less than 3%. Coupled with the active cooperation of those cells at the last moment, Calvin's progress in this project is just less than 10%. What a huge difference.

Perhaps in the eyes of mortals or even Astartes, Calvin, as a gene primarch, is close enough to the Emperor.

But in Calvin's eyes, the less than 10% completion of the reverse structure of the primary cells just solved the problem of "existence or non-existence".

Calvin's current physical strength is still far from the original owner of the blood.

Now thinking about it, Calvin's own credit for winning the victory by chance is probably not as big as he originally thought. The Emperor's initiative to let go and the weakening of the holy blood itself are probably the real reasons.

But in any case, one day's work will pay off. Since the Emperor has handed the key to the Holy Heaven to him, there is no reason not to make full use of it.

There will be a day when Calvin will get his own harvest in this seemingly useless effort day after day.

The other side of the work is about his soul, about how to inherit those "his own heritage".

This is different from the former. Although it is also long, every reading will bring immediate results.

The positive feedback of daily gains makes Calvin much more enthusiastic about this work than the former.

The complete hymn of the Virgin Mary played a crucial role in the initial memory sorting, and now Calvin can multitask and read these memories in parallel.

But such a vast memory treasure trove reminded Calvin of an idiom in his previous life that he thought had more symbolic meaning than practical operation: Yugong moving the mountain.

"When a mountain is blocking your door, even if your will is strong enough, if you want to move the mountain, there is really no difference between one person and several people."

This is his perhaps one-sided understanding of this allusion.

The last task is the ability to simulate the battlefield in the shortest time. This simulation has been carried out so far, and the target is no longer limited to the objects that Calvin can contact in real life.

After completing a memory sorting work, he accidentally discovered that in these completely absorbed memories, the enemies encountered by Calvin and others can also be pulled into the simulated battlefield.

This also greatly enriched Calvin's possibility of accumulating combat experience, and also calmed his slightly impetuous heart who always wanted to go out to fight before.

In terms of the living habits of Calvin, or the nation of Jiang Wen in his previous life, patience is definitely a virtue.

Concepts like "Shilipo Sword God" are more in line with their aesthetics.

The above three tasks basically fill up all of Calvin's time except for traveling during the day and resting his left and right brains at night.

And many of the gains and possibilities in the future also come from these unknown efforts.

Time shows its most rare and precious quality here - fairness. Let these efforts inevitably be rewarded, and all the gains come from these initial hard work.
