Mythological Revival Begins with Sanxingdui

"Teacher, we can't dig anymore! We really can't dig anymore!"

At the Sanxingdui ruins, a young man looks at the bronze door in front of him and tries his best to dissuade the old man beside him.

"Jiang Ran, are you going to stop me too? The truth is right before our eyes. We are about to become witnesses to the ancient ruins. This is my life's pursuit. Otherwise, I will die with regrets!"

Professor Gu Changsong stared at the bronze door that had just been unearthed with an incredibly fervent gaze.

"Teacher, the materials used in these artifacts far surpass any technology we know of. Have you ever considered that this might not be history, but a disaster?"

Looking at the newly unearthed bronze doors, Jiang Ran felt not excitement, but rather a strange sense of fear.

Because these things, in terms of both materials and technology, far surpass current technological means.

The fact that such a powerful ancient civilization is preserved intact underground is enough to demonstrate its danger.

Are they about to open a corner of an ancient civilization, or Pandora's box?

Gu Changsong was completely obsessed and couldn't listen to anything.

This ancient civilization site is a milestone for archaeology in the Xia Dynasty, no, for archaeology worldwide.

Because it not only proves the existence of ancient civilizations, but also proves that the history of the Great Xia Dynasty is far more than five thousand years.

Its historical significance is immense!

Even if it means death, we must keep digging!

[Beep, detection of the spark of civilization genes. Initiating permission scan.]

[Scan complete, permissions confirmed...]

Inferior genetically modified organisms should be eliminated.

Firewall system enabled...

As a synthesized electronic sound rang out, the bronze door that had just been unearthed suddenly lit up with a red light.

Wherever the red light passes, whether it is a person or an electronic device, it instantly disintegrates and turns into the most primitive molecules.

Am I going to die?

Looking at the red light enveloping him, Jiang Ran couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He had imagined all sorts of ways to die, but he never imagined that he would die so casually.

[Dididi...]

[High-quality genes of civilization detected. Permissions granted. Welcome to the Yu King Gene Bank.]

The death he had imagined did not come, which made Jiang Han open his eyes in confusion.

The previously closed bronze door was now open, revealing a scene inside that resembled a starry sky.

【drop……】

A strange creature with a horse's body, white head, red tail, and tiger stripes emerged from within.

Welcome to the Yuwang Gene Bank. I am your guide, Lu Shu.

Looking at the talking creature in front of him, Jiang Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

Because the other person wasn't talking to him, but communicating in a way he couldn't understand.

It was like telepathy; the other person's voice appeared directly in his mind, allowing him to easily understand the meaning behind their words.

"The Deer-Shu, an auspicious beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, symbolizing a prosperous population, actually exists."

He had always thought the Classic of Mountains and Seas was a mythological novel, but at this moment he was surprised to find that the truth was not what he thought.

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

Jiang Ran suppressed his shock and asked the question that had been bothering him.

This is one of the gene banks left by King Yu, a place where the genetic code of the human race was preserved.

Lu Shu's voice was completely devoid of emotion, sounding just like an AI.

Where did my teachers go?

Jiang Ran then asked a second question.

Their genetic code was too inferior; they were failures and have been erased and reintegrated into the gene pool.

As Lu Shu spoke, he raised his paw and tapped it a few times in the air.

A projection appeared instantly, displaying diagrams of human anatomy.

However, these construction diagrams were marked with dense red dots, making them look like the teacher's annotations on a test paper.

"Genetically encoded, inferior product?"

Hearing these familiar words, Jiang Ran felt a chill for some reason.

To the other party, they were just a bunch of code.

It's still the lowest-grade, inferior product.

Are you here for genetic enhancement? Please follow me!

Lu Shu didn't see through Jiang Ran's thoughts. After asking a casual question, she turned and walked inside.

Although Jiang Ran didn't understand what the other party meant by gene optimization, his instinct told him to follow.

The human and the beast walked into the gene bank. Lu Shu casually turned on a projection and then looked at Jiang Ran: "Please select your gene optimization template."

Jiang Ran looked at the projection with a puzzled expression and found that there were hundreds of gene optimization directions on it.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a biology major and couldn't understand the meaning of the gene sequences above.

"Could you introduce these templates to me?"

Jiang Ran tentatively asked a question.

【no problem.】

Lu Shu readily agreed.

The human genetic template is divided into three types: the Yellow Emperor sequence, the Yan Emperor sequence, and the Chi You sequence.

These three gene sequences were developed by three tribal leaders in ancient times. The Yellow Emperor's gene sequence can absorb the power of other living beings to strengthen itself.

[The Yan Emperor sequence gene can strengthen itself by absorbing plant genes.]

[The Chi You sequence gene focuses on strengthening oneself. Although the three have different directions, their ultimate goal is the same: to break through the shackles and reach the level of a primordial demon god by continuously optimizing their own genes.]

Lu Shu patiently explained the three most basic gene sequences.

As for the other gene templates, they are all derived from these three basic gene sequences.

"Descendants of Yan and Huang, the common people, so that's what it means."

Only now did Jiang Ran understand the true meaning of those words.

All the people of Daxia were born from these three genetic templates.

"What do you mean by gene optimization? Does it mean we can re-edit the gene chain here?"

Gene recombination is the most difficult biotechnology, and even the world's top biologists can only attempt it in the embryonic stage.

As for life that has already been born, its genetic chain is already formed, and it is extremely difficult to change it. If one is not careful, the genes will collapse and the person will die.

However, from Lu Shu's words, Jiang Ran could tell that this technology seemed to be nothing difficult for it.

【Yes, but before that, we need to carefully examine your genetic template to better choose the optimization direction. Please follow me.】

Lu Shu led Jiang Ran to a piece of equipment and gestured for him to go inside.

Jiang Ran had no suspicions and walked straight up to him.

Given the other party's methods, if they really wanted to harm him, he would be powerless to resist. He might as well be sensible and cooperate with them.

Lu Shu casually tapped a few buttons on the instrument in front of him, and a beam of light enveloped Jiang Ran.

[Beep beep beep... Alert! Alert! The target's genes have been detected as coded and cannot be deciphered.]

The moment the beam of light fell, a piercing alarm sounded.
