Chapter 1: Genetic Heritage

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:01:27
    Ding Huan has already added his No. 5 star speed to its maximum, but the spotlight on the screen of the No. 5 star is still getting larger and larger, it is the battleship chasing him.

    A sense of despair surged deep within Ding Huan's heart. He stroked the dial of the No. 5 star, and at this moment, he even detected a burning smell from the partial components of the No. 5 star rubbing due to its excessive speed.

    Having roamed the universe for nearly two centuries, only by sitting in the cockpit of the No. 5 star can his heart find peace.

    If it were in normal times, the No. 5 star would have been as if it had scratched a mark, and he would have been hurt for days. Now, however, he has to mercilessly abuse the No. 5 star, and even more, he can't escape the people chasing him from behind.

    He was all too aware that the No. 5 star, which had been by his side for nearly a century, was about to perish with him.

    Seizing the rolled skin lying on the control panel again, the skin was filled with dense characters. This is Cang Yulin.

    He's had this scroll for several years now. Over these years, he has memorized every character on the scroll, but unfortunately, he still doesn't understand what the characters on it are about.

    In order to understand this scroll, he even learned the Universal Cang Yulin Language. Although he knew all the characters, they still looked like a mystery to him.

    Just like learning English when he was a child, he recognized every letter, but when they were combined, most of the time he had no idea what they meant.

    Ding Huan always felt that the scroll was not ordinary, but despite studying it for so many years, he still had nothing to show for it.

    Feeling the Starfighter chasing him from behind, Ding Huan's anger reached its peak.

    Exclusive, he's been fighting for Exclusive for so many years that he's almost sold his life to Exclusive, but when it comes to killing him, Exclusive doesn't seem to care that he once fought and died for them.

    Exclusive is pursuing this lowly soldier who had risked his life for them, all for this tiny scroll that was placed before him.

    Ding Huan is very clear that even if this scroll were given to Exclusive, Exclusive would still not be able to figure out what it is. Knowing that Exclusive getting the scroll is useless, Ding Huan is unwilling to give the scroll to an Exclusive who is merciless and heartless.

    Unfortunately, he was about to perish. Otherwise, even if he couldn't wipe out Exclusive, he would have tried every possible means to carve out a huge chunk of Exclusive's flesh.

    "Ah..." Ding Huan longingly exhaled a breath of resentment, but this was futile. Without strength, even anger seemed laughable.

    Ding Huan's eyes gradually lost their luster. Was he born to be bullied and endure hardships? In the past, on Earth, he was bullied, his father disappeared, his inheritance was taken away, his legs were broken, and his eyes were plucked out...

    Leaving Earth for another life planet, he was still bullied...

    Is he the only Earthling to have left Earth and still be alive?

    Does it matter? The outcome remains unchanged regardless.

    The alarm of the No. 5 star awakened Ding Huan, and on the monitor screen of the No. 5 star, a reddish-brown planet appeared. This was a reminder from the No. 5 star that a celestial body had been detected ahead, and it needed to stop for maintenance.

    Ding Huan's gaze fell on the pursuing light point that had already taken on some contours, and he murmured, "Let this place be our resting spot. For so many years, we have all been exhausted..."

    Ding Huan was grateful to have encountered this reddish-brown planet just before he left. From the day he was forced to leave Earth, he had yearned to return to it one day.

    Nearly two hundred years have passed, and he hasn't been able to return to Earth. But just before his final moment, the heavens finally gave him a favor, allowing him to rest in peace rather than extinguishing in the vast void.

    He came from a traditional family on Earth, and even in death, he did not wish for his soul to wander aimlessly in the void without a place of peace.

    Rolling the scroll in his hand into a ball and stuffing it into his mouth, Ding Huan calmly opened the self-destruct program of the No. 5 star, then activated it by placing his hand on the fingerprint plate.

    Big men die, and Ding Huan has lived for nearly two centuries since leaving Earth. What hasn't he seen? Now, he and his No. 5 star are both extinguished here, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

    Just as Ding Huan faced death with composure, the scroll in his mouth seemed to melt into a ball of flame, and then a surge of heat rushed into his brain instantaneously.

    Ding Huan's whole body seemed to be struck by an electric current, and an endless stream of information rushed into his mind. It was like stuffing things into a room, with someone continuously stuffing various types of information into his brain.

    It turns out that this scroll is not for viewing......

    "......Our planet's human race is about to be destroyed, and the vast civilization and Taoist heritage we have built over countless years will also dissipate completely. But I know that this is just one of the countless cycles of our planet. Until one day, our planet will also disappear in the vast universe..."

    Many years later, our planet will once again have living beings appear, then slowly emerge humans, and then they will slowly develop a new civilization. However, it is impossible for them to break free from the shackles of the human body and become gods. Without me, the Taoist civilization will be lost forever from this planet.

    This is because after the first reincarnation of this planet, there will be no ling roots, so there will be no Taoist cultivation.

    When this planet once again emerges with humans, they can only develop genetic modification in the process of civilization. That's right, it's genes. I have already calculated the role of this word in promoting future civilization.

    To reach the level of civilization we now have would take them even longer, perhaps tens of thousands of years, and that doesn't even include the Taoist civilization.

    I don't believe there are any other geniuses like me who can understand the relationship between genes and the Dao. They can at most merge some genes into the human body, making humans go from insignificant to merely weak.

    In any case, they will not change the fundamental weakness of humans.

    Because they can only think that gene fusion can enhance physical fitness, ability, and even lifespan. They will never know that gene foundation is the first step for humans to leave this planet.

    The essence of gene foundation is understood only by me.

    Before this planet goes through its cycle, I have taken these five scrolls away from the planet, hoping that someone will bring them back one day. After all, this is where I was born. I do not want to see this planet destroyed in the future.

    I hope even more that the person who gets the scroll one day meets me, and I also want to know which type of foundation, gene or otherwise, can go further.

    ……

    After humans have completely lost their spiritual roots, they can only move forward by engaging in gene cultivation. The root of gene cultivation, I believe, is gene foundation.

    Gene cultivators without gene foundation are like water without a source, or wood without roots. Just as practitioners who want to build a foundation must have spiritual roots, I believe that in order to achieve gene foundation, one must have gene spiritual roots.

    The first step of gene cultivation is to find one's own gene spiritual roots. Only with gene spiritual roots can one tread the true path of gene cultivation……The vast universe has deprived us of our spiritual roots, but it hasn't cut off our path to greatness. All we have to do is rely on ourselves..."

    Spiritual root gene?

    Gene foundation?

    Ding Huan's hands were trembling. He had heard of gene foundation, and there were people on Chang Yi continent who had gene foundation and became top-level strongmen. He also finally understood why there were few people on Chang Yi continent who could gene foundation.

    Everyone on Chang Yi continent knows that to advance further in the process of gene evolution, one must undergo gene foundation. Although they know it, very few people actually achieve gene foundation. It turns out that gene foundation requires spiritual root genes.

    Compared to Chang Yi continent, people on Earth have never even heard of gene foundation. After the environment on Earth deteriorated, and humans entered the gene era, no one has ever achieved gene foundation.

    Everyone only knows to continuously fuse various genes, and the stronger the fused genes, the better.

    The deepest understanding of gene evolution on Earth is that the higher the purity of the fused genes, the greater the potential. Whether one is practicing martial arts or gene cultivation, it is just easier to advance in level.

    Chang Yi continent has people who can achieve gene foundation because even without fusion genes, there are a few people who possess gene spiritual roots, or true cultivation roots.

    On Earth, unless one can generate their own gene spiritual roots through external gene fusion, no one can possess gene spiritual roots.

    "The gene for the wood-type gene spiritual root needs to be extracted and fused from light sassafras, catalpa, yuan pine, banyan, and fu kui. However, these are not the most important things; they can even be substituted."

    "The truly important thing is the blood of reincarnation. I think it's this one thing that will cause everyone to lose hope for obtaining gene spiritual roots..."

    It seems that only catalpa is something he has heard of, but the other species are so clear in his mind...

    Isn't that just sassafras, catalpa, five-needled pine, banana, and oil pine fruit?

    "Wheel of blood"? I have no idea what that is.

    Ding Huan was completely immersed in the information he had obtained until a massive explosion interrupted his thoughts, followed by a blinding flash of white light before his eyes.

    The No. 5 star had collided with this reddish-brown planet, and at the same time, the self-destruct program of the No. 5 star was initiated, causing it to explode. Just as Ding Huan had just understood the secret of gene cultivation, or rather, just as he had just understood the secret of gene evolution, he perished on a foreign planet in the universe.

    Ding Huan closed his eyes, feeling neither sorrow nor joy. On this shattered planet, he would sleep forever with his No. 5 star.

    In that instant when his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness, a slightly hoarse voice echoed in his mind, "After I die, please give my eyes to him. He is still so young, let him see the beauty of the world with my eyes..."

    ...

    The massive explosion and bursting flames forced a crimson spacecraft to come to a halt, hovering outside the airspace of the exploding reddish-brown planet.

    A seductive woman stood at the bow of the spacecraft, looking through the transparent shield at the white light rising from the reddish-brown planet below due to the explosion, her eyes filled with murder.

    "This beast, instead of giving us exclusive things, chooses to self-destruct the spacecraft. How can something like this be tamed?" A young man walked up to the woman's back and said angrily.

    The seductive woman frowned slightly, taking a moment to say, "Something seems off. I have seen Ding Huan's spacecraft before. Even if it was set to self-destruct, it shouldn't produce such a grand scale of explosion, nor should it generate white flames."

    The young man said, "There are many abandoned planets in the universe that contain combustible materials and various unstable elements. That guy Ding's spacecraft self-destructing might just be a trigger."

    Qi Rao said, "Let's go back. Even with this level of explosion and combustion, that thing wouldn't leave any dust behind."

    Qi Rao continued to stare at the white light burning and exploding on the reddish-brown planet, lasting for several minutes. She finally sighed, "He got off cheap. Let's go. Tell my father."
