"Every myth and legend is a path to godhood! May the genes be with you! "
"All spirits return to the genes. Genes are the source of life for all living things. They might seem to be formed from four types of deoxynucleotides, but they contain all the information of life. From the five senses and four limbs to the smallest pores and hair, they are all controlled by genes. On humanity's mother planet, Earth, in an unimaginably ancient era, there was once a brilliant ancient civilization. Some humans possessed extraordinary strength and were thus revered as gods. And their genes are passed down in our bodies. And if one wishes to become an interstellar cultivator, the first thing they have to do is to awaken the mythological genes in their bodies and obtain that extraordinary strength … "
In a classroom filled with futuristic technology, a group of students in uniform were having a mythological gene theory lesson.
A holographic projection floated before everyone, and the content of the lesson flowed down like a waterfall.
The theory lesson was extremely dry and boring, but everyone was listening attentively.
The knowledge of mythological genes was related to whether they could become cultivators or not. No one dared to be careless.
The stern-looking female teacher on the rostrum had a stern gaze as she surveyed the surroundings. Seeing that everyone was extremely serious, she couldn't help but nod.
"Eh?" A strange figure attracted her attention.
Different from the others who were listening attentively, that person was sprawled on the table and in a deep sleep, not fitting in with the surroundings.
In his dream, it was unknown what terrifying thing he had encountered. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead was filled with cold sweat. Occasionally, he would mumble some strange words.
"Galactic calendar year 9991. What … era is this?"
"Why … did the memories of another person suddenly appear in my mind?"
"I … I didn't transmigrate, right?"
…
His voice was very soft, and his words were unclear. No one could hear what he was saying.
"So it's him! The last-ranked student of Class 17, Feng Lin! "The female teacher's brows twitched, and she was about to flare up.
But when she recognized the student's identity, her anger dissipated completely. She shook her head and didn't look at him again.
Sorrow for his misfortune, anger for his lack of ambition!
Awakening mythological genes undoubtedly required talent.
Although humans in the Interstellar Era could more or less awaken their genes …
There was also a huge difference between genes.
Some genes were completely useless and even had the opposite effect. After awakening, they would allow a person to grow a monkey's tail, black hair, a sixth finger … and other strange organs, harming themselves.
Once some genes were awakened, they would be able to allow one to be reborn, controlling wind, rain, thunder, lightning … gravity, gravity … becoming a transcendent lifeform that could control mysterious powers. These were the mythological genes.
There was no doubt that genes were a person's greatest talent.
Feng Lin had awakened the Monkey Gene, which was the most ordinary of the basic genes. Recently, it was said that in order to obtain the qualifications to participate in the college entrance examination, he had awakened another type of Stonebirth Gene, which was also the lowest-tiered basic gene.
According to the current genetic research, there was no genetic formula that could allow the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene to evolve to a higher grade.
In other words, these two genes were completely trash genes.
Right now, Feng Lin's vitality stat was only 0.4, not even 1. He wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate in the college examinations after his third year of high school ended.
This was the limit of Feng Lin's potential!
There was no future in his life.
In just an instant, the female teacher gave Feng Lin a judgment in her heart.
In the Interstellar Era, not having genetic talent was the greatest misfortune.
This Feng Lin was even worse. He slept in during class and didn't work hard at all.
Of course, it was useless even if he worked hard.
Talent wasn't something that could be made up for with just hard work.
Now, it seemed that this person had given up on himself and was completely crippled.
The female teacher shifted her gaze away and didn't look at Feng Lin again.
The theory class ended very quickly, and the others left one after another. No one cast another glance at Feng Lin who was in a deep sleep, and no one called for him to wake up.
Very soon, the huge classroom was empty.
After an unknown period of time, the sleeping youth slowly raised his heavy head and looked at the unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar classroom. His eyes stared blankly and his face was filled with confusion.
Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I? …
A new virtual projection, a classroom that was filled with a sense of technology. Outside the window, there were flying cars that were spewing flames as they flew past …
Everything was like a dream, yet it was happening before his eyes.
Was this a sci-fi movie?
Before he could think too much, countless memories surged out from the depths of his mind like a tidal wave.
Intense pain assaulted his entire body.
Feng Lin's face contorted. After a long time, he finally caught his breath. His expression was extremely interesting.
So, it was already year 9991 of the galactic calendar.
He was originally an ordinary citizen of the Republic of Huaxia in 2018 AD. After graduating from university, he drank too much and didn't expect to wake up in this interstellar era.
Was this the original parallel universe or was it the future world of Earth?
None of this was known.
And the truth might not be important to Feng Lin at all. He had already transmigrated and there was a high possibility that he wouldn't be able to return. There was no meaning in dwelling on this.
According to the interstellar historical records, in 2160 AD, humans finally walked out of Earth and colonized the solar system.
In order to commemorate this great moment, humans changed the calendar, abandoning the Gregorian calendar of the ancient Earth era. They used quantum computers to deduce a calendar that was more in line with the universe's time.
This year was the first year of the galactic calendar.
Year 9991 had already passed by.
This meant that from the year 2018 of the Gregorian calendar before Feng Lin transmigrated, he had crossed at least 10,000 years.
Was this a dream?
For a time, Feng Lin felt that things were gone, but people were different.
After entering the interstellar era, the technological development of humans was even more unimaginable.
In year 3628 of the galactic calendar, humans conquered the entire solar system, and all the planets had human bases.
The desolate and dry Mars was transformed into a green planet with life. The gigantic Jupiter had a floating human space station, the asteroid belt was filled with mining spaceships, and Pluto, which was at the edge of the solar system, became a vacation planet … The footprints of humans covered every corner of the solar system.
However, humans were also trapped.
The technological development of humans had reached the peak, but at the same time, they encountered a bottleneck that was hard to break.
Outside the solar system was the endless dark vacuum of the universe. Tens of light years became a distance that humans couldn't cross.
The solar system also became a cage for humans.
After over 3,000 years, after countless generations of scientists had advanced wave after wave, human technology achieved a major breakthrough. With the use of wormhole technology, humans finally rushed out of the solar system.
In the endless outer space, there were treasures everywhere, endless planets, and energy sources …
However, before the beautiful dream of humans began, it was completely shattered. The real nightmare had just arrived.
Only then did humans realize that the solar system wasn't just a cage. It was also a protective umbrella for humans.
Terrifying monsters that were as large as planets, all kinds of strange alien life forms, and universal disasters that could destroy the heavens and earth …
Humans were instantly dealt a heavy blow.
And in the battle against powerful enemies, humans themselves were also evolving rapidly.
At this moment, humans realized in a dramatic yet tragic manner that compared to the vast and boundless universe, humans themselves were the greatest treasures.
Back on Earth, those ancient myths and legends were refuted as feudal superstitions. However, in the Interstellar Era, humans discovered to their astonishment that these myths and legends were actually all true.
They were all true!
Those mythological characters were all powerful lifeforms from the ancient human civilization. Based on scientific research and computer simulations, these people were revered as gods because they possessed unbelievably great strength.
As the civilization died out, the whereabouts of those mythological characters were unknown. However, their genes remained in the bodies of humans on Earth.
Humans could obtain unimaginable strength through awakening genes through cultivation. Therefore, these genes were known as mythological genes.
The human body was like the universe, and each gene was like the stars in the sky. There were countless of them.
The ancient cultivation path was once again filled with vitality.
Each myth and legend was a path to becoming a god.
"A path to becoming a god?" Feng Lin mumbled this word and could clearly sense the profoundness contained within it.
The human he transmigrated into was also called Feng Lin. He was an ordinary student from Earth High School's Class 17. He had the same name and surname as his original self. Even their appearances were somewhat similar.
Over ten thousand years of human development, they had experienced three world wars, two interstellar wars, and five interstellar wars. After the calamity of many civilizations, no one paid much attention to the human myths and legends from Ancient Earth. Now, more than half of them had already died out. Only an extremely small portion of them remained, but they were all in fragments and didn't form a complete system.
The myths and legends from Ancient Earth had left behind large areas of blankness, waiting for interstellar humans to excavate mythological ruins to find and fill in the gaps.
Although humans realized the existence of mythological genes, the inheritance of myths and legends had been broken. They had no way to crack their own genetic code.
The path to becoming a god was also forgotten. Humans suffered the consequences of their own actions and could only search for it again with great difficulty.
However, Feng Lin discovered that this had become his greatest advantage.
It turned out that he, a modern person from the 21st century, had come to this Interstellar Era with advanced technology. Regardless of whether it was knowledge or thoughts, they were far behind this era.
He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to establish a foothold in this world.
However, things were different now!
This Interstellar Era had actually developed a set of theories about mythological genes. However, after ten thousand years of changes, more than half of the mythological knowledge from Ancient Earth had been lost.
Feng Lin came from the past and knew the myths and legends from Ancient Earth like the back of his hand.
Each myth and legend was a path to becoming a god.
If this was really the case, wouldn't he have grasped countless paths to becoming a god?
Huaxia's War God Erlang True Lord, Great Sage Equal to Heavens Sun Wukong, Northern Demon Subduing Zhenwu Great Emperor …
The Western Saint Jesus, the Demon King Satan, the ancestor of vampires Cain …
Greek God King Zeus, Sun God Apollo, Mother Earth Gaia …
Norse Odin, Egyptian God Death Anubis, Indian God of Destruction Shiva …
These myths and legends had all been forgotten. Not a single one of them had been preserved.
