“Darren, duty comes first. I will not hold you back. In a few days, it will be Ava’s coming–of–age ceremony. Please come then and have a drink,” Jonathan calmly sail as he looked at Darren.

Darren briefly nodded and replied, “Alright. We will heal out first.”

After the group left, Jane lightly nudged Ava with her elbow and quietly asked, “Do you know who that man was just now?”

Ava shook her head.

Someone who looked that important was not someone she knew.

Jane slowly explained, saying, “His name is Darren Sawyer. He is the head of the Special Elemental Power Bureau. If Great–uncle Patrick had not died in that accident, they would have shared the same wife. When news of Great–uncle Patrick’s death came, Granny Yara stubbornly waited for him for twenty years. After that, she left Capitol Planet. From then on, our family gradually drifted apart from them.”

Ava suddenly understood what happened.

No wonder the look in that man’s gaze earlier felt so hard to describe.

There really was history behind it.

Jane dismissively waved her hand. “I am getting off track. You do not need to take today’s matter to heart. It was just a formality. They are waiting to see what kind of title they will grant you.”

Ava widened her eyes and quickly spoke, “No way. I am not an Awakened. My ability is also pretty useless. I am not an offensive elemental power user at all. Even if it is wood type, you could send me to a farm, and I still would not beat a laboratory by myself.”

Jane stared at her as if she were looking at a strange creature.

“Ava, if I did not think I knew you well, those words would honestly make people want to punch you.”

Jane leaned forward and continued, saying, “Do you know how rare the purification type is? In tens of thousands of years, only three people ever appeared. Wood type, too. You do not seriously think wood elemental power is only about making plants grow, do you? When a wood elemental power user matures, they become a healer. Do you know how important healers are? People deeply respect them. Calling them living gods is not an exaggeration.”

Jane firmly wrapped an arm around Ava’s shoulders and pressed her down onto the couch. “Let me slowly break it down for you,” she patiently said.

“Elemental power users, when stripped down, are basically people with special abilities. People early on got used to calling them elemental power users. Later, everyone got lazy and stopped changing the name.

“There are also mental power users. You already know this. When men come out of artificial wombs, their mental power gets tested. Except for artificially cultivated ones, ordinary naturally born men usually have mental power at B rank or higher. The stronger the mental power, the stronger their elemental power tends to be. Higher mental power also brings a greater risk of mental pollution and rampage.”

Jane raised two fingers. “To reduce the rampage value, there are only two ways. The first is to find an Awakened. Through perfect harmony, a man’s mental power can be stabilized to some extent. That is the biggest reason powerful men desperately want an Awakened wife.

“The second is wood type healers. Wood type healers can also reduce mental power rampage. During war, they are like field medics. People jokingly call them nannies. High–level wood healers are not weak at all when it comes to offense.”

Jane slightly leaned back and finished up her explanation, saying, “Finally, there’s the purification type. Purification type is now lost in history except for you. Acording to the records, purification type exists on a higher level than wood type healing. Even if someone had a mental breakdown, they can still be pulled back. The three people whose names remain in history were all savior figures of their time.”

Jane lightly poked Ava’s forehead. “Stop telling me you are ordinary already. People would instantly turn green with envy, alright?”

Ava played with the ends of her hair and quietly muttered, “That means I am basically a living tool then.”

She frowned and added, “Stacking wood type and purification type on one person still feels strange. How is that even possible?”

Ava shook her head. “Maybe the test results were wrong Could that happen?” she incredulously asked.

Jane softly snorted. “Do you think Aunt Claire hires fools in her lab? Your man personally watched over the test. There was no way there could be a mistake. The report was crystal clear.”

Jane’s expression turned grave as she went on. “Mutants Ava. Have you ever seen a mutant? I have.”

She disgustedly continued, “They are so revolting that they make you throw up yesterday’s dinner. Their whole bodies are covered in slime. Their skin is full of bumps. The bumps rot and ooze pus. They have a single red eye and a huge mouth. Their drool is highly corrosive. Their teeth are poisonous. If a human gets bitten and treatment comes too late, the poison paralyzes the entire body. In the end, you can only helplessly watch as you are eaten bite by bite.”

Jane tightly clenched her fist. “They move in packs. Every time mutants appear, loads of people die. Mutant groups are led by high–level mutants. They level up by devouring each other. High–level mutants are mental power powerhouses. They are skilled at mental attacks and sound wave attacks.”

She took a breath and continued. “They also worsen mental pollution in humans. Rampage values sharply skyrocket. You never know where they will appear from It feels like they tear through space and show up out of nowhere. Humans are food to them. Even now, that has not changed.”

Ava fell silent for a moment. Then, she slowly said. “I have only seen mutants in movies and on TV. High- level mental power users, elemental power users, and high–level Awakened can kill mutants.”
