Barkley felt a warm and powerful force flowing into his body, and the genetic code that had just been activated seemed to resonate with the power of the mysterious woman. Holding her hand, the scene in front of him suddenly changed dramatically. The cold enemy in the void and the broken starry sky disappeared in an instant, replaced by a completely different world.
This world is full of vitality, the air is filled with the fragrance of grass, there is a blue sky above, and the soft sunlight shines on them, like a dream. Surrounded by emerald green forests, a huge mountain can be seen in the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if leading to the sky.
"Where is this?" Barkley looked around, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.
"This is one of the intersections of time and space," the mysterious woman replied softly, "a shelter created by your mother and father, and it is also the last gift they left for you. Here, you can learn how to control your power safely without being disturbed by the outside world."
Barkley nodded, but his heart was still full of questions. He wanted to know more about his parents, more about the forces that were hunting him, and more about the genetic code that suddenly entered his life. But he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to find the answer and learn to control these incomprehensible forces.
The woman seemed to see through his thoughts and said slowly: "You must have a lot of questions, and I will try my best to answer them. But first, you need to understand that your genes are not just the product of a scientific experiment, they represent a great secret in the entire universe."
Barkley held his breath involuntarily. Her tone was calm and mysterious, as if every word hid an incredible truth.
"Your parents are not ordinary scientists," the woman continued, "They are time travelers, an existence called myth by the outside world. They discovered the essence of time and space, and can not only travel through time and space, but also walk between different dimensions. This power comes from their in-depth research on genes, and they discovered the secrets in the genetic code."
"Genetic code?" Barkley repeated in a low voice, thinking quickly in his mind.
"That's right," the woman nodded, "Everyone's genes contain infinite possibilities, but most people have never realized these possibilities. Your parents discovered that genes not only determine a person's appearance and abilities, but may even control the flow of time and space. They cracked the mystery and implanted this ability into your genes. You, Barkley, are the first person who can fully control this power."
Barkley felt a chill rising from his spine. He had never imagined that there was such an amazing secret hidden in his genes. More importantly, he was the only heir to this power.
"Then why did they disappear?" He couldn't help asking the question in his heart, "Why did they leave this secret to me instead of using it themselves?"
The woman's expression became slightly serious. "Your parents disappeared because they realized that the existence of this power is not only a scientific advancement, but also a huge danger. Once controlled by someone with bad intentions, this power will become a catastrophe. In order to protect you and this research, they decided to retreat to the depths of time and space, waiting for you to be strong enough before entrusting everything to you."
Barkley felt bitter in his heart. His parents did not leave him voluntarily, but to protect him and to prevent this power from falling into the hands of the enemy.
"Who are those who are chasing me?" Buckley thought of the terrible enemy and the cold leader. They obviously knew his genetic code and had been tracking his whereabouts.
The woman sighed softly. "They belong to an organization called the 'Terminator Alliance'. The members of this organization were originally scientists and explorers, but after discovering the secret of time travel, they embarked on a completely different path from their parents. They believe that the power to control time and space is the next step in human evolution, and they attempt to completely open the shackles of time and space by controlling you."
"So they have been hunting me because the code in my body is the key to unlock these shackles?" Barkley frowned.
"Yes," the woman nodded, "They have tried many ways to unlock this secret, but all failed. Only you, Barkley, have this power and can use it. You are the key to time and space, and they want to take it away."
Barkley was silent for a moment, full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew he could not escape this fate, but the sense of responsibility made him breathless. He never felt like a hero, and he was not even sure if he could bear this burden.
"What should I do?" he finally asked, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
The woman smiled gently, soothing Barkley's emotions. "You don't need to understand all the answers right away, nor do you need to master all the power right away. Your mother has left you a path to power here. We will start training here and teach you how to awaken the genetic code in your body step by step."
Barkley nodded. Although he still had many confusions in his heart, he realized that this was the only choice at the moment.
They continued to walk deeper into the forest. The trees towered into the sky, as if guarding this mysterious place. Along the way, the woman explained to Barkley more about the genetic code. She told him that this power can not only manipulate time and space, but also affect the basic structure of matter and energy. Barkley's genetic code is the key to connecting different dimensions, which allows him to travel freely between multiple time and space.
"However, your power has not yet fully awakened," she reminded, "Your parents have designed a gradual activation process for you. Only when you pass a series of tests can you gradually unlock your full potential."
Barkley listened to her words, and the tension and pressure in his heart gradually eased. He knew it would be a long road, but he finally found the way forward.
They finally came to the end of the forest, and an ancient temple appeared in front of them. The outer wall of the temple is engraved with complex symbols, as if telling an ancient story. In the center of the temple is a huge altar, emitting a faint light.
The woman walked to the altar and gently stroked the symbols, as if awakening some long-dormant power.
"This is the first test your mother prepared for you," she turned to look at Barkley, "This will be the beginning of your activation of the genetic code."
Barkley took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the altar. He knew that once he stepped into this mysterious realm, his fate would be completely changed. He had no way to retreat and could only face it bravely.
He stood in the center of the altar and felt a powerful energy pouring into his body from his feet. This feeling was similar to the previous awakening, but it was deeper and stronger, as if it was going to completely decompose his entire person and then reassemble him.
The woman's voice sounded in his ears, gentle and firm: "Remember, Barkley, you are the key to time and space, and this is just the beginning."
At that moment, the symbols on the altar began to flicker, and a low resonance echoed throughout the temple. Barkley felt the genetic code in his body being activated again, and the energy surged like a tide. He closed his eyes, and his consciousness gradually merged into the torrent of this power.
This was the beginning of his destiny and the prelude to the battle of time and space.
