Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 165 Berlan: The Galactic Lord has acknowledged me! (3.3k)

“Berlan, I need to find someone to do my experiment.”

"The content is to help the experimenters improve their genetic level. I want to analyze and record every stage of improving the genetic level."

"You should know what the gene level is, right? If not, there's information below."

"In short, you need to cultivate a secret technique. Although it is life-threatening, I can resurrect you if you die."

"If you succeed."

"Your genetic level will directly reach a hundredfold level, and if you perform very well, I may provide even more assistance."

"If you're willing, just reply to me."

Berlan looked at the letter.

My gaze fell on the sender's notes:

'Forever number one'!
His eyes widened in shock, his memories began to flash back, and he started to recall the past tens of thousands of years.

Luo Feng has existed for tens of thousands of years.

The same goes for Berlan.

He was a genius from a very young age.

The laws governing space are exceptionally advanced.

During the selection process for the Genius Battle, he was unrivaled in the universe, and everyone called him the inevitable champion of the Genius Battle.

He thought so too.

During the finals, he heard that a peerless king named Zhenyan Wang had taken one of their genius contestants as his apprentice ahead of time.

That man's name was Luo Feng.

At the time, Berlan disagreed.

But
The trial tower alone made him realize that he had been too arrogant. He looked through the records again and found that Luo Feng was only in his thirties when he participated in the Genius Battle.

He understands.

He overestimated himself.

During the competition, he was instantly defeated and chose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'. He was also compared to Luo Feng by the higher-ups of the virtual universe.

He wants to surpass Luo Feng!
but.
From his perspective, Luo Feng's continuous improvement seemed almost unattainable.

He gradually came to his senses.

He rose to second place in the Genius Battle, growing stronger along the way, fighting for his life at the cosmic level, and taking many risks. He experienced several life-and-death trials and nearly lost his life several times.

But Berlan persevered.

Aiming to be like Luo Feng.

But only a century or two after the Genius Battle, Luo Feng was already out of reach. Luo Feng directly cleared the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge at a cosmic level.

At that time
It greatly shocked him.

This gave him the impression that whatever heights Luo Feng would reach in the future was perfectly normal.

"Lord of the Galaxy, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"Remember me, a guy who's no match for you at all."

Berlan smiled.

He then sent a message saying:

"Berlan is very grateful for this opportunity given to him by the Lord of the Galaxy! I will set off immediately whenever I am needed."

Soon.

Berlan received the message.

The content is:
"Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up and take you to my territory later."

Milky Way.

That massive mountain range, around which a continent was built, was where Bolan was brought by the Golden Axe Venerable.

now.

The Galactic Sanctuary already has quite a few members.

They are divided into peripheral members and internal members. Internal members are actually equivalent to the core members of other major forces.

because
The requirements for core members of the Galactic Sanctuary are too high.

Berlan gazed into the distance; he was already deep within the Milky Way Holy Land, surrounded by boundless divine power, which was immense.

He murmured to himself:

"Is this the legendary Holy Land of the Milky Way?"

"Yes." Luo Feng's human god form appeared here, looking at Bolan. He hadn't seen Bolan for a long time.

Having become the ruler of the universe, he is now among the most exalted people in the human race.

"Berlan pays his respects to Lord Galaxy Lord!" Berlan immediately greeted him respectfully. Although they were both genius contestants back then, he knew that their status was now completely different. If he were to actually call Luo Feng by his real name, he would be incredibly foolish.

even
Over the years, what many strangers know most about Bolan is not that he is the "greatest genius of mankind" or his real name "Bolan".

But:

'Second place in the genius battle of that year'.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Just call me Luo Feng. I'm still a little uncomfortable with you calling me Lord Galaxy. It reminds me of what you said before the Genius Battle finals: 'I hope you can give me some challenges.'"

"Lord of the Galaxy, you flatter me. I was ignorant and arrogant back then." Bolan's expression was calm. He didn't think Luo Feng was mocking him. Being able to reminisce about these past memories with him was itself a way of getting closer to him.

He remained polite to Berlan.

Luo Feng didn't correct him anymore, and instead started to get down to business.

He first took out his self-compiled "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual - Beggar's Edition", which was the secret method that could enhance the genetic level by a hundredfold.

The secret method that cannot break through the limitations of the original universe.

If he wanted to break through the limitations and reach the secret method of perfect genes, he would have to go through the system's channels. Although it wasn't expensive, he would also have to see if Berlan had the comprehension to keep up with his analytical cultivation, and he would also have to study whether this method would be effective for his cultivation.

"Stand here and don't move."

Luo Feng was giving instructions.

Bolan immediately and respectfully replied:

"Yes, Lord of the Galaxy."

Luo Feng closed his eyes.

The massive mountain began to activate its innate secret technique, forming a domain fluctuation that enveloped Berlan...

Berlan only felt...
A force analyzed and recorded every single life cell in his body. The 'Spirit of Origin' talent!
Just like the creation of the Nine Nether Sea, it can analyze other life forms, which was also an important reason why Chen Qi and Luo Feng chose this clone.

If you don't have that ability.

It would be better to choose the Nine Nether Sea and analyze the essence of life, which would be of great help in pursuing the path of divine power!

After recording the initial genetic level of Berlan.

Luo Feng tossed him a copy of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" - Beggar's Edition, which didn't offer a doubling of the improvement, but rather a method for gradually increasing the genetic level.

"You should start cultivating. Every time your gene level doubles, call out to me here, and I'll record the progress," Luo Feng said loudly before turning and leaving.

Berlan nodded.

Months passed, and Luo Feng continued his cultivation without paying attention to Bo Lan. He felt that this gene-level secret technique might not be easy to cultivate.

What he created was naturally not as powerful as the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual directly transforms and evolves the cultivator's genes naturally. If the transformation process fails and the genetic level cannot be stabilized, the cultivator will turn to ashes.

And this one.

These are very detailed directions for gene modification, which require the cultivator to actively control the transformation.

What Luo Feng wanted to study was what aspects changed during the process of Bolan's genetic evolution from one to two to three times...

Third month.

Berlan looked tense; he knew the current situation.

Luo Feng is no longer his competitor, nor is he a contestant of the same age or in the same genius competition.

Instead, he was a 'senior' who gave him a great opportunity!
It can be enhanced to a hundredfold at the gene level.

After reviewing the detailed information, he understood what this meant.

Many cosmic masters only reach a hundredfold increase; they need to pay a great price to reach that level, but for him now...

As long as you pass the test, that's fine.

Berlan carefully controlled his genes, transforming them little by little as described in the secret method, and he could feel an overall sense of pleasure in his body and mind.

At last.

He mastered the first image.

The gene multiplier successfully doubled, and the power directly doubled!
"It's done!"

"Lord of the Galaxy, I've succeeded!"

Luo Feng, the ancestral master of the Origin, activated his 'Spirit of the Origin' talent, analyzing and recording Bolan, whose genetic level had been elevated.

A faint voice came:

"Although it's a bit slow, it's still within my acceptable range."

"continue."

"Too slow?" Berlan thought he was getting the hang of it quickly, but then he realized that if he was slow, he should try to be faster!

"Don't be too afraid of death. Reviving you will come at no cost to me." Luo Feng's voice came a second time, and then he continued to immerse himself in his cultivation of analyzing life.

He wanted to confirm and compare the differences between the same life form before and after the genetic upgrade.

Whether it is truly as helpful as he imagines in researching the path of divine power remains to be seen.

Berlan nodded and said:

"I understand."

"Faster, even faster! Focus all your attention and eliminate distractions." Berlan's will grew stronger; he wanted to master it as soon as possible and strive to satisfy the Galactic Lord.

But he found that it got slower and slower as time went on.

Three months later.

During this period, Bolan died three times and was resurrected by Luo Feng three times.

"My lord, I have completed my cultivation; my genetic level has tripled."

"Well, you continue."

A ripple came.

Luo Feng recorded the situation again because he still needed to study a large number of organisms with high gene plurality. He had just analyzed and confirmed the gene plurality of Bolan during his research.

This study investigated changes in the ploidy rate of the same individual before and after treatment.

For analyzing and studying the essence of life, there is indeed a better comparison. Simply increasing the gene ratio can accelerate the process to a certain extent, and the effect is actually better than those superficial divine power routes that are obtained through loans.

After all, the divine power route guidance he obtained through a loan wasn't particularly valuable.

"Faster, faster! I can feel that each doubling of the improvement is actually more difficult. I still managed to achieve it in three months this time. I hope that the Lord of the Galaxy will think I'm doing alright?" Bolan continued to cultivate.

Two months and twenty-eight days later.

During this period, Berlan also died twice.

"My lord, I have reached the fourth time."

"Hmm." Luo Feng analyzed the data for a moment, then said, "Not bad, although it's still a bit slower than I expected, but it's an improvement."

"Yes, sir, I will continue to work hard!" Receiving the praise, Berlan was overjoyed and immediately devoted himself to the next level of cultivation.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

“My lord, it’s already thirty-four times,” Berlan said.

"Hmm." Luo Feng felt that Bo Lan's cultivation speed was actually getting faster and faster, which was beyond his expectations.

Could it be that Bolan's comprehension has been honed?

A little bit.

Bolan's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster, indeed exceeding the speed analyzed by Luo Feng, because Bolan does not understand it at all and is cultivating according to the secret method.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, wanted to compare every subtle change in the life forms before and after Bolan, analyze and experiment to find out which parts increased the genetic level of the body, and thus determine how to evolve and in what direction to change, so as to focus on this aspect of research.

"The Galactic Lord hasn't acknowledged me yet, and hasn't mentioned the next opportunity." Bolan wanted to gain the Galactic Lord's approval, and wanted to receive the praise of the Galactic Lord, who had long been his goal and idol.

Bolan thought to himself:

"I must work hard; this might be the biggest opportunity of my life!"

"Your cultivation speed is acceptable. If you can maintain this pace, I will give you an even better opportunity, namely, to allow your gene multiplier to reach a perfect level." Luo Feng's voice echoed deep within the Milky Way Holy Land.

A smile immediately appeared on Bolan's face, and he hurriedly said:

"Okay sir!"

At the same time, he was overjoyed:
'The Galactic Lord has approved of me!'
