Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 609 Gene Sequence

Fifty thousand years ago, during the Scarlet Aberration Era.

Is this our future?

The Lord of Myriad Stars spoke with a trembling tone.

Murderous intent and malice spread across the sky of the era. Han Tao used the engraving of time and space to travel through the years and arrived at the end of his journey.

"We've arrived at the Scarlet Aberration Era, the paradise of bloody revelry."

The blood on the clothes quietly congealed, and the faint scent of "Yellow Spring Dew" was silently seeping into the human skin, guiding the transformation of mental strength while also driving the human to madness.

Han Tao clapped his hands, using his Blue Silver Soul Power to isolate the Yellow Spring Dew from its corrosive effects.

"stop!"

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

A figure appeared ahead.

The soul power of the titled Douluo was surging. Han Tao looked down at his body and sensed its strength and weakness.

It's hard to believe that two completely opposite traits, strong and weak, can coexist in one person.

"Great strength and weak vitality are the tragedy of being born in this era."

Han Tao shook his head, ignoring him, and used the Eye of Time to sweep across all living beings in the world.

They found their goal—the Flower of Distortion.

"The Fallen Feather!"

The man was immediately enraged, his face contorted with madness as he glared at Han Tao, a murderous glint in his eyes.

The feathers on its back revealed a brilliant red, and layers of nested red wreaths circled in the air, piercing through waves of air and sound, and leaped towards Han Tao.

Han Tao's figure was out of place in time and space, and the feathers of the red wreath fell to the ground.

"You want to kill me?"

"You want to kill me just because I ignored you for a moment?"

Han Tao countered with a question.

Dark blue silver grass rose from the ground, its black spiderweb-like form covering his feet, blocking all his escape routes.

"What is this, a vine?"

"No, this is Blue Silver Grass, this is a race of Mutant Flowers, I'm doomed."

His voice trembled, his expression was filled with regret, and his body struggled incessantly.

The vines pulled his head in front of Han Tao. "Who are you?"

"Bai Yueyu".

"Now," Han Tao paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, "what is the current situation of humanity? What are the top powers on the Douluo Continent?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

He struggled and begged for mercy, but Han Tao didn't believe his answer.

As a titled Douluo, even in a timeline 50,000 years later, he would be considered a semi-powerful figure. How could he not even be clear about the basic distribution of power?

So, they used illusions to steal his memories.

Seventy thousand years ago, the once-unbroken continent split into two plates.

According to information circulating on the mainland, the continent's split led to the leakage of a certain virus from underground, plunging Douluo Continent into a strange cycle known as the "Crimson Aberration Era."

"That's just a rumor!" the Lord of Myriad Stars refuted decisively. "Remember the toxin the Imperial High Priest used to kill me? That was the precursor to the Aberration Virus. The Star Empire has long possessed these powers, not because of some accidental event."

"Um"

Han Tao nodded casually, looking towards the southwest.

"The Soul Beasts in Douluo Continent consist of three major groups: the Aberration Flower Clan, the core area of ​​the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest, and the Blood Bat Nest in the southwest corner."

The Blood Bat Nest will become a killing capital in a few years.

The Dark Blue Silver Grass erased Bai Yueyu's life, and Han Tao flew into the sky, arriving at the location of the Aberration Flower.

"Humanity?"

"Humans are an evolved species of apes, beings that haven't yet been tainted by mutation. I never imagined there would be such a powerful being as you in this world?"

Two voices emerged from the blood-red flowers and plants.

One came from the Aberration Flower, and the other from the Aberration Virus. The Aberration Virus was no ordinary child from tens of thousands of years later; the moment it saw Han Tao arrive, it instantly gained the upper hand, using the power of the Yellow Spring Dew to speak with him. "Welcome evolution, welcome my arrival. I can make you stronger; you will become the ruler of this entire continent."

The scarlet virus tells a seductive story.

Han Tao continued to examine the deformed flower, which displayed various extreme tissues that were interlocked and pieced together.

It is ugly in appearance but extremely strong.

As Han Tao observed it, it was also constantly evolving and degenerating, with its resistance and immunity increasing while its defense and vitality decreased.
Countless variations shimmer on its body. If a being were to record everything and repeatedly examine and verify the optimal structure, it would receive unimaginable rewards.

"No!"

Han Tao shook his head. "Scarlet Virus, you are beyond my control. I will not allow my body to be contaminated by uncontrollable forces."

"Then what brings you here?" the Abnormal Flower asked.

"for what?"

Han Tao remained silent for a moment,

Suddenly, he opened his hand, and the sixth soul ring shimmered in spacetime. The Aberrant Flower, which had completed its ultimate sublimation, stretched out its branches and leaves under the gazes of many.

"This is."

"Has the evolutionary sequence of the virus been perfected?"

The distorted flower couldn't see the contents clearly; it seemed that due to the constraints of time, it would never get the answer from Han Tao.

Han Tao stopped walking, and after a long while, he sighed, "It's normal that I can't see clearly."

"This is the evolutionary sequence that you will discover in the future. Before you discover it, the truth of history will be buried in the fog."

Han Tao could not tell the Star Empire the information about the "Star Body," as this part of the truth had to be discovered by them. Just as Han Tao could not deliver the final sequence of the "Flower of Anomaly" to it at this moment.

No, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Although I can't see the details clearly, I understand that I succeeded. I successfully controlled the virus and everything I wanted."

Therefore, it released its own shackles, and external information guided its beliefs forward.

Ugly forms and structures rise and merge in a short time, following the will toward perfection.

"Hmph, wishful thinking!"

The scarlet virus will not allow it to continue evolving. "Before you successfully reach the other side, I will devour your life force, and you will go to your grave with your proud evolutionary sequence."

The sky was filled with rising winds and swirling clouds.

Tick-tock, tick-tock
The red raindrops dripped slowly onto the soil, carrying the unique sweetness of blood.

"Heavenly tribulation? It's nothing more than a mere heavenly tribulation!"

The red flowers, with branches and leaves extending in all directions, are quietly drawing the lifeblood and vitality of countless Blue Silver Grasses from the outside world into its body.

"The Scarlet Virus cannot control me, nor can the Heavenly Tribulation destroy me. I will grow stronger under your strangulation!"

Han Tao stepped back several paces, watching the heavenly tribulation descend time and again, and witnessing the moment when the red flowers were sublimated.

"I seem to understand."

Fairy Grass asked, puzzled, "What do you understand?"

"The six-dimensional adaptation of the Blue Silver Clan and the foundational benefits of the Earth Lotus Root enhance the Blue Silver Grass. Compared to the results of the Scarlet Virus's transformation, they cannot be considered microscopic."

"Scarlet virus, the era of aberration, and countless creatures evolved along with it. They evolved not only in form and structure."

"They have also elevated their own genes."

Gene evolution originates from the lower layers, not from higher sequences.

"Similar to the replenishment of martial spirit foundation and basic six-dimensional adaptation, the modification of gene sequence can make each Blue Silver Grass stronger."

"Simply put, the strength of my martial soul will also leap forward."

Lightning bolts rained down in a crisscrossing pattern ahead, while crimson flowers were reaching their ultimate sublimation.

Han Tao, far beyond the Heavenly Tribulation, has already completed the ultimate sublimation of the Abnormal Flower, and has begun to pull the strength of the entire race forward.

Blue Silver Demon Emperor: 1.0 → 1.1
The Eyes of Time: 1.1 → 1.2
The distorted flower conveyed the message, "You possess a familiar aura."

"Blue Silver Grass? The long-lost past, I have long forgotten my origins, I have already stepped into a stronger sequence."

Han Tao looked at it and thought, "At this moment, it seems I made the right decision to come."
