this infinite world

"Oh!"

In Chu Xuan's carefully designed laboratory, bursts of explosions continued to reverberate in the confined space. Each explosion was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the surrounding walls.

What is shocking is that these deafening roars are not caused by any experimental device losing control. They originate from the center of the laboratory, where Zheng Zha, sitting cross-legged, is experiencing an inner storm that no one can see. There seemed to be an invisible arsenal of explosives hidden in the man's body, and every implosion caused his body to withstand unimaginable impact.

With each explosion, Zheng Zha's face became paler, and his muscles continued to expand and contract, as if fighting against the internal forces. Blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his mouth, but he did not utter a groan. Only his closed eyes and clenched fists reflected the pain and determination he endured.

As the last burst of explosions dissipated, silence returned to the laboratory. Zheng Zha slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which was the trace of pain and struggle accumulated in his body. The blood seeping from the corners of his mouth overflowed as he breathed, making him look particularly eye-catching.

The man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with persistence for the future. He whispered to himself, with a hint of dissatisfaction and determination in his voice: "It's not enough..."

"This level is not nearly enough."

……

Zheng Zha has come a long way on the road to the fourth-level gene lock. He can change his genes at will and freely change his genetic characteristics according to environmental needs, thereby achieving active adaptation to various external conditions. He can evolve corresponding genes to resist attacks such as fire or frost, and he can also actively create organs that he should not have.

Two hearts can beat in his body, supplying oxygen to three lungs; wings for flying may be spread out on his back; gills may grow on his neck to allow him to breathe freely underwater. ; Even the end of his spine may have a powerful dragon's tail.

Zheng Zha's ability to control his genes has reached an incredible level. He had conquered the genetic code in his body before and understood that although genes determine the basic form of a life, in those microscopic gene sequences, there is also hidden the unique will of each individual - they are not always the same. Completely obey Zheng Zha's wishes.

But this was just a small problem. When he found that he was subtle enough to solve this problem, Zheng Zha easily overcame this difficulty that others could not even think of and suppressed the genes in his body. He even deliberately suppressed his breakthrough and did not enter the fourth intermediate level.

In other words, it is not that Zheng Zha cannot break through to the fourth-level intermediate level, but he is unwilling to break through to the fourth-level intermediate level. The accumulation of three worlds has long allowed Zheng Zha to reach a new level on the road to the fourth-level gene lock. realm. After seeing the perfect body of his own clone, he was determined to completely surpass the clone... It was precisely because of this exquisite mastery of genetic micro-manipulation that Zheng Zha was able to challenge Chu Xuan without any hindrance. Showing the extraordinary transformation of his fingers and his vision of the perfect body.

The smallest unit of strength is actually the implementation of one's own will, whether it comes from within the body or outside the body, from the macroscopic level or from the microscopic level.

But this is not enough, as Zheng Zha himself said, and it is far from enough.

Genes have power. Zheng Zha has a deep understanding of this. When he came into contact with the legacy of the pioneers, he learned that many races have the ability to encode knowledge and inheritance in their genes. This information will be revived with the awakening of the bloodline. Like a sleeping memory being awakened.

In Zheng Zha's own experience, from the moment the first-level genetic lock was unlocked, he also felt the fighting instinct deep in his genes - those instincts that were burned down by ancient humans, which is a kind of transcending era. inheritance, a priceless legacy. These memories hidden deep in the DNA are not only for survival, but also for future generations to evoke the time-honored strength and wisdom when facing challenges.

"So, you mean that I need to start from this aspect and dig out the treasures hidden deep in the genes?"

"Yes, gene locks are an undoubted avenue to the sky. Perhaps you will feel that compared to the fourth-level 'nuance' and 'gene control', the fighting instinct of the first-level gene locks has gradually become incompetent. There are so many uses, but going from zero to one is often the hardest step to take.”

Facing Zheng Zha's slightly frowning inquiry, Chu Xuan's eyes once again ignited the enthusiasm for gene lock research that they had when they first met in Alien. For Zheng Zha, this expression was something Chu Xuan had not shown for a long time.

"As it is now, although I can understand the principle of engraving genetic information in genes, but to do it like a genetic lock, through some extraordinary way, inscribe countless fighting instincts into it, and maintain the integrity of the information, This is almost impossible to achieve.”

Chu Xuan's expression became serious and fanatical, and he was the most terrifying in this state. Even Zheng Zha couldn't help but shrink back half a minute: "Stop, stop, stop for a moment, Chu Xuan, you are like this." A little scared..."

"...For now, your best choice is actually to tap into the potential within your own body and the secrets deep in your genes, because the depths of your human body itself are the largest treasure trove."

As if aware of his gaffe, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and reluctantly returned to his usual calm look. But looking at the emotion in his eyes that had not faded, you could tell that this young man was actually just suppressing his desire for knowledge for the time being. , but his inner pursuit of the unknown has never disappeared.

"You are different from Yang Yun. Yang Yun's path is to move closer to the world. Since he has saved the world at least twice, faced the world's will three times, and even had the experience of becoming one with the world's will, he The road to becoming stronger in the future will definitely be affected by his experience... To be more precise, he is letting his body gradually adapt to the world."

Having said this, Chu Xuan paused for a moment, then looked at Zheng Zha more seriously and said: "But you are different. Leaving aside the 'Tang Kai', all the remaining self-created skills you have developed, whether it is 'explosion' and 'Destruction', or the subsequent 'Falling Star' and 'The Heavenly Thunder Severs the World', actually all have your strong personal style and corresponding self-will... In other words, the path you take is different from other It can’t be imitated.”

"so?"

"So, you need to look within for strength." (End of Chapter)
