Mythological Revival Begins with Sanxingdui

Upon hearing that they could strengthen their bodies, everyone's eyes lit up.

They had already witnessed the benefits of gene optimization; everyone possessed special abilities, which made them even more eager for the upcoming enhancements.

[This is a magnetic field sensor I made for you. It can not only detect the surrounding environment but also monitor various bodily indicators. I have already sent you your enhancement routes; you can choose them yourself.]

Lu Shu handed the three watches to Gu Changsong and the other two.

The three of them took it and immediately began to study it without hesitation.

Master, come with me.

After dismissing Gu Changsong and the other two, Lu Shu gestured for Jiang Ran to leave with him.

"What do you need to hide from them?"

Jiang Ran chuckled and teased.

[It's not about hiding it from them. Their growth path is already fixed; they just need to strengthen it step by step. You're different from them. Your genetic chain isn't completely fixed yet, so I want to ask you if you've decided which path to take.]

Lu Shu looked at Jiang Ran with a serious expression.

The route he referred to was the three gene templates of Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Chi You.

Jiang Ran possesses all three genes simultaneously. Under normal circumstances, he would have died long ago due to gene conflict. However, coincidentally, the human gene lock restricts gene conflict.

This is similar to three different antivirus programs. If they are run in sequence, they will attack each other until only the last one remains.

But modern humans are like the Little Tyrant learning machine; not only is the internet speed slow, but the memory is also insufficient, making it impossible for these three antivirus software programs to perform at their original level.

This, in turn, created a delicate balance.

However, once Jiang Ran breaks the gene lock, it gives these three antivirus software programs more room to operate, and the genes in his body will also be affected as a result.

In severe cases, his genes may collapse on the spot, erasing his existence from its very origin.

At that time, even the most advanced civilization will not be able to revive him.

That's why Lu Shu asked him if he had decided on a specific route.

After listening to Lu Shu's words, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I've made up my mind, I want all three templates."

You'll die if you do that.

Lu Shu reminded him again.

"I know, but have you considered this: these three genes might not exist independently?"

Jiang Ran offered his own guess.

These three gene templates cannot coexist, a theory that has been proven by ancient civilizations.

However, the human race's genes are now mixed, and it's long since impossible to distinguish which lineage one belongs to.

Yet they are still alive and well, which shows that the human body has begun to adapt to this complex gene sequence.

It even developed a completely new gene sequence.

His existence is the best proof.

Are you planning to use these three gene sequences as the basic code for the human body?

Lu Shu understood the meaning behind Jiang Ran's words.

This is an extremely bold idea, and if not handled carefully, it could lead to utter ruin.

In other words, Jiang Ran plans to use these three gene codes to develop a completely new gene sequence.

"That's right. Aren't those three gene sequences you mentioned also developed by leaders from ancient times? If they could do it, why can't I?"

When Jiang Ran said this, his eyes even showed a hint of arrogance.

Creating a completely new gene sequence is something Lu Shu never even dared to dream of.

Because those who could do this were all emperor-level leaders in ancient times.

It originally thought that Jiang Ran's potential to be a "King" was already remarkable, but it never expected that his ambition would be so great, attempting to create a completely new gene sequence.

Have you thought about the consequences?

Lu Shu's gaze towards Jiang Ran changed completely at this moment, and even her tone of voice subconsciously became respectful.

"The worst outcome is death, but I believe that even if I die, there will still be people who will step forward and walk this path. I hope they can learn from my mistakes and avoid some detours."

Jiang Ran smiled nonchalantly.

Lu Shu looked at him silently, without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm being a bit unrealistic?"

Seeing that Lu Shu remained silent, Jiang Ran gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It is an honor for Lushu to serve you.

The deer bowed deeply, and unlike last time, this time it genuinely acknowledged the human before it.

No one has the right to laugh at someone who has a dream and strives for it, even if that dream sounds like a fantasy.

[Since you've decided to create a new gene sequence, our enhancement plan will also need some adjustments, Master. I'll need your full cooperation over the next few years, and I will devise the best gene sequence optimization plan for you.]

"Thanks!"

Jiang Ran also stopped smiling and sincerely thanked him.

Please don't thank me yet, because the days ahead may be more painful than death.

"..."

Jiang Ran remained silent.

As Lu Shu said, he went to great lengths to enhance everyone's abilities.

In short, the message is: if you can't kill them, then kill them as much as possible.

Qiu Yaqin's body contains plant genes, so it cultivates various plant genes from the gene pool, and she frantically absorbs various poisonous flowers and fruits.

Diarrhea has become the norm, and in severe cases, the entire body is covered in sores, leaving no intact skin.

Not only that, in order to enhance her water-based abilities, Lu Shu even simulated various water environments, allowing her to soak in them for a whole month.

As for Gu Changsong, he was in an even worse situation. Because his abilities were related to soil and rocks, Lu Shu made him eat all kinds of minerals and even let him absorb and transform them on his own. As a result, his stomach swelled up into a ball, and he suffered from constipation for more than half a year, which almost killed him.

Sun Ming must be the happiest person.

Because his abilities are related to electronics, Lu Shu only has one requirement for him: to keep learning, from theory to practice, without neglecting either.

It's just that the base has limited materials; otherwise, Sun Ming would have been able to build an ancient civilization laboratory by hand.

Spring comes and winter goes, countless seasons have passed...

Arctic Circle.

A poaching gang, bundled up in thick winter clothing, searched for traces of polar bears in the snow.

"Captain, is it really possible for polar bears to appear in this kind of weather?"

Feeling the blizzard whistling through the air like knives, one team member couldn't help but complain.

"Shut your crow's mouth. You'd better pray we run into a polar bear soon, or we'll be starving."

The leader rebuked the other person, then tightened his clothes.

"What is that?"

Just then, a sharp-eyed member spotted a figure in the blizzard ahead.

Naked, wearing only a pair of shorts, he walked through the blizzard.

"Oh my god! It's a person!"

Someone saw the person through binoculars and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The next second, a beam of light descended from the sky, and the figure vanished instantly.

"Oh my god, the person is gone!"
