Chapter 135: Mythological Genes Association
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The virtual universe had unlimited freedom. There were only things that hadn’t been imagined yet. Anything was possible.
As the second world for humans, the virtual universe could ignore the actual physical distance and allow humans to interact face to face with each other with no delay. Things were extremely convenient.
The most important thing was that one’s identity would be kept an absolute secret and no one would be able to pry into it. This gave everyone a sense of safety and security.
Although its original base was virtual in nature, to humans, this could already be considered a real world of sorts.
This was a completely free world belonging to all interstellar humans.
The major countries, minor countries, businesses, secret powers—all of them would build a virtual territory for themselves in the virtual universe.
Hence, virtual territories were extremely valuable. One could either obtain world-creation treasures in the virtual universe and start creating a world from scratch, or they could seek out the virtual universe’s auto A.I. and spend astronomical amounts of star coins to purchase one.
Feng Lin didn’t expect that he would be able to obtain an ownerless virtual planet.
Since this was the case, he might as well use this virtual planet to build an independent power belonging to him.
He had already thought of the name—the Mythological Genes Association!
This would be a secret power that was primarily used to exchange knowledge regarding mythological genes.
One couldn’t help but say that since Feng Lin knew the myths and legends of almost every ancient cultivation, he undoubtedly possessed an immense advantage on his cultivation path.
However, he knew a little too much. After all, he was just a single person and could only pick a single or just a few mythological paths.
It was impossible for him to tread on all the mythological paths he knew.
Quality was the essence, not quantity.
Feng Lin only needed to pick the few mythological paths with the brightest future, and his potential would have no limit.
One must know that the pathway of cultivation was a road that only led forward.
The journey of life was simply an unending race against time.
If one wasn’t able to break through to a higher cultivation base before their lives reached the limit, they would simply die. Cultivators had to continuously break through to extend their lives.
No matter how high your current cultivation base was and how strong you were, after you died, you would return to being part of the earth. There was no meaning in that at all.
Human’s energy was limited.
Right now, just treading on the mythological path of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, already made it so that Feng Lin couldn’t be distracted. Although he knew of other mythological paths, it was impossible for him to use them, and it would be a waste to keep them with him. Why didn’t he use this knowledge to exchange for cultivation resources?
For those extremely powerful mythological pathways, he naturally would keep them a secret.
But for those that weren’t that important, Feng Lin didn’t mind trading them away, and he wouldn’t be worried that by selling such knowledge, the knowledge would come back to bite him one day.
The four critical points needed for cultivation was wealth, companion, laws, and location.
One needed a vast amount of resources to cultivate. The higher one’s cultivation was, the more astronomical the amount of resources needed.
The interstellar space was boundlessly vast, and the human population had long reached tens of trillions in number.
Although interstellar cultivators were rare, in perspective of the human population, there were simply too many of them to count.
The competition for resources was extremely fierce, resulting in great pressure. Everyone was competing against each other to gain more of the universe’s resources.
Hence, a cultivator had to display his greatest advantage before he would be different from the others and obtain an unending flow of resources.
After the journey to Mars, although Feng Lin had obtained a large amount of cultivation resources, he was very clear that this was only temporary.
These resources were able to allow him to cultivate regularly, but that was the only thing they could do.
When his cultivation base reached a profound state, the amount of money he would spend would be like flowing water. These resources would soon dry up.
If a human had no long-term considerations, they would definitely bound to experience failures in the near future.
If one asked the question, what was the most expensive thing in the interstellar age? The answer was obvious.
There was a saying that knowledge is priceless!
Hence, Feng Lin decided to make use of his advantage. He planned to earn resources by displaying his proficiency of mythological knowledge and genetic processes to correct those who had the wrong idea about genetic cultivation.
In the real world, there were too many people with loose lips. If he sold his knowledge of mythological genes simply like that, it would be too conspicuous.
The interstellar space was so vast, and there were all sorts of bizarre methods and abilities.
No matter how careful he tried to conceal things, it was possible that others might notice it.
This was not secure at all.
Even if he peddled his knowledge through the web, his web’s IP address would also be tracked by hackers.
But there was no such danger in the virtual universe. The secrecy of humans who used it was absolutely secure.
In there, everyone could casually mask their true identities. No one would be able to tell or spy upon you.
Hence, Feng Lin wanted to build a secret power that belonged to him alone in the virtual universe.
By doing so, not only could he protect his greatest secret, but he was also able to make public and peddle some of his mythological knowledge to others and gain huge amounts of cultivation resources in exchange. This would be killing many birds with a single stone.
As he was thinking of this, he connected mentally to the virtual cabin in the flying shuttle. The familiar data flows akin to waterfalls appeared before him. At the next instant, he had already arrived inside the virtual universe.
The familiar starry space was all around him, and every cluster of nebula represented an independent world.
Below Feng Lin, there actually was a gigantic planet floating in the darkness. It revolved continuously, and there was some information labeled below it, “Giant Pharmaceutical Company.”
As he slowly moved nearer, the clouds surrounding the planet naturally parted, opening up a pathway.
As Frank died, this virtual planet became a completely ownerless land. Now, it all belonged to Feng Lin.
Feng Lin set foot on the planet and discovered that there were various rare and precious herbs grown all around here. The fragrance they exuded was so thick that fog was formed, on the verge of condensing into substance. Clearly, these herbs were all extremely valuable.
The Giant Pharmaceutical Company had transformed the planet like this. Clearly, they had wanted to use the virtual universe’s simulation ability to simulate experiments with different medical substances to improve the genetic potions.
Feng Lin’s heart stirred. A ball of light floated in his hand; this was evidently the model of Giant Planet.
From within the virtual cabin, he logged in and gained the authorization of the control hub. The data about Giant Planet was then shown to him.
=====
Name: Giant Planet
Grade: Virtual
Perfection Index: 100%
Star Coins: 1,202,638
=====
Virtual grade?
Feng Lin silently felt bewildered. Could it be that this grading could be further upgraded?
Was there an even higher-graded virtual territory?
He did a quick search and soon found the relevant information.
So it turned out that territories in the virtual universe could be classified into different grades as well. The lowest grade was virtual-grade. After that, there were the minor-thousand, medium-thousand, and major-thousand world grade.
The latter three grades were all known as world grades because they had completely independent world laws. For example, the alternating period between the sun and the moon, the movements of the stars, etc. It was a completely independent world.
Some examples were ‘World of Warcraft’, ‘Naruto World’, ‘Avatar World’ that existed in the virtual universe. All of them were considered minor-thousand graded worlds.
Feng Lin discovered that the perfection index for Giant Planet had already reached 100%. He only needed to spend star coins, and he would be able to upgrade Giant Planet to a minor-thousand graded world.
In that case, what was he waiting for?
Feng Lin decisively upgraded it, and the number of star coins in the virtual universe’s bank instantly depleted by over 200,000 coins.
The Giant Planet before his eyes instantly expanded; the space in the surroundings transformed into a region of primal chaos with no end and beginning.
Feng Lin stood there, but he wasn’t affected by the chaos qi at all. He was like a god or devil that was born when the heavens and earth were created.
The chaos churned wildly, transforming into a gigantic vortex, seemingly nurturing the seed of a brand new world.
In that case, all that remained was to...split it open to create the heavens and earth!
