He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

Based on gene therapy and combined with the vast amount of scientific knowledge he had accumulated in this lifetime, he designed a complete gene optimization system.

The ultimate goal of this system is an evolutionary path aimed at pure physical strength.

He named this system: the Source Project.

After filming wrapped, the movie entered the post-production and marketing phase.

The production company had extremely high expectations for this film and invested heavily in its promotion.

Trailers, posters, roadshows, variety shows—they're everywhere.

Yun Yi's portrayal of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong became the focus of the promotion.

The trailer, featuring a barefoot child standing in the morning light, with clear, golden eyes and the line "I come from the dawn, born to protect all living beings," sparked an explosive discussion online.

The movie was released when Yun Yi was six years old—to be precise, two months before his sixth birthday.

On the day of the premiere, Yun Yi wore a well-tailored suit and walked the red carpet with Shen Ruoqing.

Flashbulbs went off everywhere, and reporters were shouting frantically, "Look this way!"

"Look over there."

Yun Yi remained calm, his gaze sweeping across the camera lens, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The next day, the top three trending topics on social media were all about Xi Shengyuan Tong:

#XiShengYuanTong#

#TheGreatestChildActorInHistory#

#Who is Yunyi?#

The film grossed over one billion yuan in its opening week, becoming a phenomenal film of the year.

Yunyi's performance was praised by major media outlets.

"miracle"

A masterpiece

"Cannot be copied"

One professional film critic wrote, "In my twenty years in the industry, I have never seen child actors like this."

"His performance is not an imitation—the moment he stands in front of the camera, he is Xi Sheng Yuan Tong."

The film's global box office surpassed six billion three months later.

Yunyi's name has become popular both domestically and internationally, with discussions about Xisheng Yuantong on social media exceeding 10 billion views.

Fan art, fan fiction, hand-drawn animation, and cosplay are everywhere.

Many die-hard fans even began to "believe" in this character, and at one point believed that "Yunyi" was Xisheng Yuantong himself.

They believed that the child in the morning light was the true god.

Yunyi was busy.

The third phase of gene optimization has entered a critical period, and the framework of the source body project is constantly being improved. He has no time to browse social media or see the overwhelming praise.

But some things won't happen just because he doesn't care.

It was an ordinary night.

Yun Yi was making routine data records in the underground laboratory when he suddenly felt a strange power surging from the void—a pure, fervent faith that had gathered from countless people.

That power surged into his body, flowing through his meridians, and then—

The power of [False Imitation] has been triggered.

In that instant, Yun Yi felt the power of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong.

The morning light rises from my fingertips, a warm, golden, gentle light, full of life.

He activated that power. Morning light spread from his palm, enveloping a nearly withered potted plant in the laboratory.

The withered leaves trembled in the morning light, the withered veins turned green again, and the curled leaves unfurled one by one, completing the reversal from withering to flourishing in just a few seconds.

Then came the second flower, the third flower—all the plants in the laboratory had revived.

As Yun Yi looked at the blooming flowers, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

At that moment, he finally understood the true meaning of "false imitation": as long as enough people believe you are a god, you are a god.

His portrayal of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong convinced hundreds of millions of people worldwide that the child in the morning light was a true little god.

And so, he truly became Xisheng Yuantong.

Faith is truth.

The original is a copy.

Yun Yi stood among the blooming flowers, looking down at the lingering morning light in his palm, a slow smile curving his lips.

"I see."

"This is the true usage of the term."

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the ceiling of the underground laboratory, as if he could see the countless people online cheering for him, shedding tears for him, and having faith in him.

The adults' faith may be insufficient—after all, many of them are materialists.

But in those secluded corners, and among the children watching with their parents, they don't believe it's all fake.

Children, in particular, will instinctively believe that something is real, strong, and cool enough when they see it—just like they believed in light when they were young.

At this moment, all that faith, all that madness, all that belief, transformed into true divine power.

Yun Yi took a deep breath, feeling the increasingly abundant power within his body.

Morning light, life, purification, revival, protection... all of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong's abilities are gradually becoming a part of him, like an inscription—true abilities that belong to him.

Even if these people no longer believe in him, the power still resides within him.

This is so much better than those systems that rely on faith.

The power of faith will collapse instantly once people stop believing.

But the [illusory imitation] imitates the true God and obtains true divine power, which will not disappear with the collapse of faith.

He closed his eyes and whispered a sentence.

The sound was very soft, like a murmur in the morning breeze.

But in those open, gilded eyes, a true light, belonging to the gods, had already shone.

"The play is over."

"But now, the game has only just begun."

"I hope the other reincarnators won't bore me too much."

Three months after the movie's release, Yunyi's life returned to a certain superficial calm.

The popularity of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong continues to grow, with new fan art emerging on social media every day, and discussions about "young actor Yun Yi" never cease.

Some die-hard fans even petitioned on the film's official website, demanding that a standalone film about Xi Sheng Yuan Tong be made.

But none of this concerns him.

In the underground laboratory, the formula for the fourth-generation gene agent has already taken shape.

Yun Yi sat at his workbench, sketching out new molecular structural formulas on a tablet.

A gentle night breeze blew outside the window, causing the lab notebook spread out on the table to rustle.

Although I now possess some divine power, the research on the gene serum cannot be stopped—after all, we've already gone this far, and since I can't cultivate right now, the extra time is perfect for researching the serum.

"younger brother--"

Hurried footsteps could be heard at the laboratory entrance.

Yun Jin pushed open the door and came in, followed by Yun Yao.

The young woman was wearing her junior high school uniform today, with her ponytail tied high and round-framed glasses perched on her nose.

She is twelve years old this year and has grown into a graceful young lady. You can vaguely see the outline of Shen Ruoqing between her eyebrows and eyes.

Yun Yao was ten years old. She had her hair in pigtails, was holding a plush rabbit, and hopped along behind.

"sister."

Yun Yi didn't even look up.

"I got a perfect score on my math exam today."

Yun Jin put her schoolbag on the table, her tone slightly smug, "The teacher even praised me in class."

"oh."

"Can't you act a little happier?"

Yun Yi raised his head, looked at her, then at Yun Yao behind her, and a smile curved his lips:

"I'm very happy."

Yun Jin: "..."

Her brother is good in every way, except that he's sometimes too perfunctory.

"Little brother, I want to eat that gummy candy from last time."

Yun Yao leaned over and tugged at Yun Yi's sleeve, her eyes sparkling.

"That's not a gummy candy, it's vitamins."

"As long as it tastes good."

Yunyi took out a small bottle from the drawer, poured out two pale green sugar pills, and handed them to her.

Yun Yao took it, put it in her mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Yun Jin shook her head as she watched this scene.

That's definitely not a gummy candy—it's a prototype of a third-generation gene therapy drug, a finely tuned version diluted 120 times, whose main function is to improve the reaction speed of the nervous system.

Yunyao has been taking it for almost half a year, and the effects are remarkable.

At the kindergarten sports meet last month, she ran the 50 meters in 6.8 seconds, leaving the second-place runner two whole seconds behind. The teacher almost thought the stopwatch was broken.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Yunyi closed the tablet and stood up from the chair.

He had just taken a step when he stopped.

wrong.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze passing through the half-closed laboratory door and landing on the iron door leading to the ground at the end of the corridor.

Someone is spying on us.

It was as if something was lurking in the dark crevices, breathing heavily and erratically, with an almost frantic thirst.

It's not one person, it's multiple people.

And they've just appeared—who did they come with?
