"This is …?" Feng Lin's eyes narrowed as he stared at the strange scene before him, feeling extremely shocked.
In the empty and desolate void, a transparent figure stood in front of him, bathing in the stars. It was his own appearance.
There were two conspicuous golden balls of light in the chest of the silhouette. They were as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
The surroundings were densely packed with dim silver specks of light, scattering like stars in the sky.
These light spots were either bright or dark. They flickered incessantly, resembling human figures.
A person had become a starry sky.
A row of numbers floated above the figure's head.
Vitality: 0.4
This golden ball of light is …?
Feng Lin instinctively sent his will over, and two rows of information appeared in his mind.
Monkey Gene: 2
Stonebirth Gene: 1
Could these be genetic points? Is this some kind of ability to digitize the body?
Feng Lin instantly had many guesses. Comparing it with his own situation, he was certain of it.
The development of genes was focused on the cultivation of genetic points. It consisted of three aspects: awakening, strengthening, and evolution.
Gene Awakening was the stage where the gene changed from a recessive state to a dominant state.
After the gene was awakened, it would control the life elements of the human body, producing new organs and abilities.
Originally, the human body wouldn't be able to control transcendent powers. However, once one grasped the Flame Gene, they would be able to control the power of fire. If they grasped the Ice Gene, they would be able to control the flow of water and freeze it into ice …
However, this process was not something that could be achieved in a single step. Rather, it was a gradual process of change. This was the awakening of genes.
And when the genes were completely awakened, it meant that the body had completely adapted to the awakened mythological genes and their own transcendence.
The next step was to use certain cultivation methods to strengthen the genes and stimulate the greatest potential of the genes.
Different genes could be strengthened differently as well.
The higher the grade, the more times it could be strengthened.
These two balls of golden light clearly represented the two mythological genes that Feng Lin had awakened.
The Monkey Gene had been strengthened twice, while the Stonebirth Gene had only been strengthened once.
After the gene strengthening was completed, the gene evolution would begin.
Gene evolution was the process of combining two genes of the same grade to evolve into a higher grade gene.
Once the evolution was complete, the cultivator could step into a higher realm.
So what was this silver dot?
Feng Lin's will probed over and countless pieces of information immediately popped up.
Muscle Gene: 0
Turtle Breath Gene: 0
Tigerfang Gene: 0
…
It turned out that these were recessive genes that had yet to be awakened.
Feng Lin understood.
It turned out that this was a genetic map of the human body.
There were so many genes in the human body that they were like the stars in the sky. No matter how powerful the technology was, it was impossible to accurately detect all of them.
And now, all of this was clearly displayed before Feng Lin's eyes.
This scene reminded him of a national treasure in ancient Huaxia, the Acupuncture Diagram of the Bronze Man.
However, what Feng Lin saw were the acupoints and meridians marked on it.
The number of genes was as vast as the stars in the sky, and there were at least a trillion of them. Feng Lin took a closer look and felt his head spinning.
Although every single one of them was clearly visible, it was impossible to grasp every single one of them.
His mind moved, and he saw clusters of nebulas circling in his Dantian. There were a total of fourteen of them, and they were bright and dazzling. They were like clouds or mist, constantly flowing and changing.
There were also wisps of star mist circling around him, gradually converging as if they were forming a new cluster of stars. However, they had yet to completely condense.
Clusters of nebulae as large as plates formed one after another, supporting the entire starry sky.
Genetic potential: 1468%
For some reason, Feng Lin understood the meaning behind this.
In conclusion, this silhouette could digitize the genes of the human body.
And Feng Lin's current data was …
Name: Feng Lin
Vitality: 0.4
Monkey Gene: 2
Stonebirth Gene: 1
Genetic potential: 1468%
There were no messy things like strength, agility, or physique. There were only vitality and genes.
Genes were the foundation of life, and vitality was the comprehensive embodiment of life's condition. Strength, agility, and physique were all different aspects of vitality, but the essence was the same.
As one's vitality increased, these attributes would also increase correspondingly.
However, this human genetic diagram wasn't just that. As he probed it repeatedly with his will, a strange feeling rose in Feng Lin's heart. It was as if his will had a mysterious connection with these genetic points. It was as if he could control them.
Let's try it out!
Feng Lin's heart stirred, and he decided to try it out. He used his will to guide the three unrelated genes together.
The nebula in his Dantian separated out a cluster of star mist and infused it.
Genetic potential -15%
The three genetic light spots expanded and shrank unceasingly, as if they had eaten a great tonic. They underwent a miraculous change and kept combining, showing different sequences.
Ding ding ding …
Five consecutive sounds rang out.
The starlight connected the three genetic light spots together, leading them to five unknown genetic light spots in the depths of the starry sky, forming a shape similar to a genetic tree.
Airflow Gene x2 + Cloudmist Gene x3 + Water Vapor Gene x1 = Frost Gene
Airflow Gene x3 + Cloudmist Gene x4 + Water Vapor Gene x4 = Rainstorm Gene
Airflow Gene x4 + Cloudmist Gene x2 + Water Vapor Gene x1 = Hurricane Gene
Airflow Gene x2 + Cloudmist Gene x5 + Water Vapor Gene x4 = Lightning Gene
Airflow Gene x6 + Cloudmist Gene x7 + Water Vapor Gene x5 = Wind Thunder Gene
Five formulas in a row!
Feng Lin was instantly shocked. He actually obtained five genetic formulas in one go!
There were also grades between genes. They could be classified as tier-0, tier-1, tier-2 …
0 was the starting point of numbers. Hence, tier-0 genes were also known as basic genes.
1 was the basic element of numbers. All numbers originated from 1. Hence, tier-1 genes were also known as primeval genes.
Every tier-1 gene had different abilities. They could complement each other, combining and evolving into higher-grade genes.
Tier-0 genes could be combined into tier-1 genes, tier-1 genes could be combined into tier-2 genes, and so on and so forth …
This was the genetic formula.
And when the genetic formulas of each tier were combined, from the bottom to the top, they would form a tree-like genetic map. This was known as the genetic tree. Because it looked like a pyramid, some cultivators also called it the genetic pyramid.
Genetic cultivation arts = genetic tree + genetic formula + genetic development.
The genetic tree was the evolutionary path of genes. It would guide the overall direction of cultivation in the future. Genetic formulas were the method for low-level genes to be combined into high-level genes.
And genetic development was a method that targeted the refinement of each and every gene.
From high to low, from macroscopic to microscopic, it involved all aspects. Only by including the contents of these three aspects would it be considered a complete genetic cultivation art.
…
The wind blew and the rain moved. The water vapor could turn into frost when it was cold, and when it converged, it could cause a rainstorm …
The Airflow Gene, Cloudmist Gene, and Cloudmist Gene were all tier-0 basic genes that could control the weather. The three of them could be combined into the Frost Gene and Rainstorm Gene, two tier-1 primeval genes. This was an open secret among the interstellar humans.
However, Feng Lin didn't expect that under the simulation of genetic points, he would be able to deduce three new genetic formulas based on the different strengthening points of the genes.
The wind and clouds howled and formed a hurricane, the rain and clouds collided and formed thunder, the air currents were intense, and the wind and thunder were densely packed …
Who would have thought that these three most ordinary genes could be combined into three powerful genes — Hurricane, Thunder, and Wind and Thunder?
These three genetic formulas might seem inconceivable, but they all followed the laws of nature. It was impossible for them to be fake.
"My god! Just these three genetic formulas alone would be worth an unimaginable amount of money! "Feng Lin's breathing quickened.
It wasn't that he wasn't calm. It was just that these genetic formulas were too precious!
Genetic formulas were an important part of genetic cultivation arts. The appearance of a new genetic formula would usually signify the beginning of a new genetic cultivation art.
Knowledge was priceless!
And the knowledge of cultivation was even more priceless.
Although these were only the three most basic genetic formulas, Feng Lin was clear that if he sold them, he would immediately be able to obtain a large amount of star coins.
Each genetic formula would be worth at least a million star coins. Adding them together, it would be sufficient for him to leave his clan and buy a house in the city, allowing his family to change to an incomparably comfortable environment.
However, unless he had no other choice, Feng Lin wouldn't do this.
Genetic formulas were simply too eye-catching. Only the most top-notch genetic grandmasters would be able to create new genetic formulas.
Right now, Feng Lin wasn't even a cultivator. He didn't have enough strength and wouldn't be able to protect his secrets. In fact, he might even invite trouble to himself and be devoured by others.
Feng Lin didn't stop and continued to experiment.
Under the control of his will, the silver-colored genetic dots continued to assemble, and the genetic formulas were deduced one after another.
Flame Gene x7 + Rock Gene x3 = Magma Gene
Muscle Gene x5 + Hormone Gene x1 + Protein Gene x3 = Bodybuilding Gene
Fish Skin Gene x3 + Breathing Gene x5 + Diving Gene x3 = Amphibious Gene
…
The genetic formulas were deduced one by one. At the same time, he also tried to reverse the deduction.
He already knew a high-tier gene and wanted to find its synthesis formula.
Divine Movement Gene = Muscle Gene x2 + Speed Gene x6 + Airflow Gene x3
Fiery Eye Gene = Flame Gene x3 + Vision Gene x5
Giant Gene = Bone Gene x3 + Muscle Gene x3 + Growth Gene x5 + Hormone Gene x3
…
Many new formulas were deduced, and his genetic potential was rapidly depleted. Very soon, it was reduced by 30%. Feng Lin also gradually understood the general use of this ability.
This might be an ability that his soul mutated after transmigrating through time. Its effects were simply beyond imagination, and it was a little similar to mathematical equations.
Yes, this was a genetic equation!
Similar to mathematical equations, it could be deduced and solved.
Genes became the variables in the genetic equation. He could deduce the results by depleting his genetic potential, or he could use the known high-tier genes to reverse engineer the genetic combinations.
Genetic equation, this is my ability!
Feng Lin made a judgment in his heart.
To him, the genetic equation ability wasn't just limited to this.
If others obtained this ability, they might only be able to deduce genetic formulas.
Every myth and legend was a path to godhood.
However, myths and legends could only know the direction of cultivation. As for how to cultivate each step, one still needed to explore it repeatedly.
Feng Lin was clear about all the myths and legends of Ancient Earth. Based on his understanding of myths and legends, as well as the deduction ability of the genetic equation, he might be able to deduce all the cultivation paths of the myths and legends.
This was the greatest use of the genetic equation ability to him.
If he could really reach this step, he would be able to understand what it meant.
He might be able to …
Become a god?
Of course, the prerequisite was that he must have sufficient genetic potential.
Although the genetic equation ability was powerful, it wasn't something that could be used recklessly. It would require the consumption of genetic potential.
According to the rate of consumption, he reckoned that it wouldn't be enough after deducing tens of times.
However, Feng Lin had no idea where genetic potential came from for now.
Oh right!
Feng Lin's eyes brightened as he thought of a point that he had neglected earlier.
Since this was the case, why didn't he deduce his future path?
Everyone said that there wasn't any genetic formula that could allow the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene to fuse into a higher-tier gene. He was already crippled and had no path of advancement.
Since this genetic equation could deduce all sorts of new genetic formulas, he might be able to deduce the evolution method of the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene.
It was worth a try!
Feng Lin's heart palpitated. If this could really work, his seemingly dead-end cultivation method would be able to be taken.
There was an ancient poem that said, "At the end of the mountain and the river, there's no road ahead, but at the darkest hour, there's a glimmer of hope."
Wasn't this the situation before him?
Under the immense computing power of the genetic equation ability, even a dead-end path could become a path leading to the heavens.
He acted immediately upon thinking of it.
Feng Lin was clear that this was his only chance. He used his will to guide the fusion of genes.
Genetic potential -10%, -10%, -10% …
His genetic potential was like a flood that broke the dam. Very soon, it was reduced by 60%.
However, the derivation speed of the new genetic formula was surprisingly slow.
The Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene continued to combine, but they were incompatible. They were like fire and water, completely unable to be compatible.
"Could it be that I really have no way to walk on the path of cultivation?" Feng Lin started to feel anxious.
It wasn't easy for him to come to this majestic world. If this was the end of his path, how could he be willing to accept it?
No, he definitely wouldn't give up!
Feng Lin staked everything on this and continued to inject genetic potential.
Finally, after the genetic potential -360%, the four nebulas were destroyed.
A brand new path of genetic combination appeared before his eyes. It was unique.
There was only one genetic formula, and it was also the only one.
Feng Lin looked over in surprise. His expression immediately became incomparably strange. Shock, ecstasy, sluggishness … all sorts of emotions appeared.
Monkey Gene x10 + Stonebirth Gene x10 = Stone Monkey Gene???
