All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

However, although he had figured out the true meaning of cultivation, he did not immediately reveal the method. He would tell everyone before the strengthening ceremony tomorrow, which would still be in time.

Seeing Chu Xuan deep in thought, Zheng Zha asked, "Chu Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Xuan nodded in response, "I've been thinking about the enhancements and the next horror movie. We all received so many reward points and side quests this time, the difficulty of the next horror movie will definitely increase dramatically. But the Ju-on we experienced this time was already a level 20 horror movie. How will the main god continue to increase the difficulty of our survival when new horror movies appear?"

Zheng Zha walked over, patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry so much. Now that we're at a banquet, let's eat and relax. If you really want to think about these things, why not spend some reward points to go back to the horror movie world and find a place to relax? You'll have plenty of time to think about it."

Hearing this, Zhan Lan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "That's right! Actually, I've been wanting to relax a bit during my time watching horror movies for a while now. What do you think about going to Hawaii? I've heard the beaches there are amazing..."

Before Zhan Lan could finish speaking, a cold voice said from the side, "I refuse."

Zhan Lan felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this. When she turned around, she found that it was Zhao Yingkong who had spoken.

Zhan Lan asked, "Why did you refuse?"

Zhao Yingkong countered, "Why go back? Although there are many reward points, we risked our lives to earn them. Even if there are many reward points, we can't waste them so easily. We should save them to improve our physical fitness or exchange them for some handy weapons. There's no need to use these reward points for luxuries."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan quickly replied, "What do you mean by 'luxury'? You know I've been on tenterhooks these past few days. Coming back and seeing this unchanging God Space, I'd go crazy if things continued like this. Using some reward points to exchange for a few days of quiet rest seems completely worthwhile. Otherwise, why do you think the God would offer this option of going to a horror movie world?"

Zhao Yingkong coldly objected, "Is Huaguo Mountain unchanging? I think it's much better than Hawaii. That place has a lot of imprints... you'll see them every few steps... never mind, anyway, your will is too weak. Don't even mention the 10-day rest period in the Main God Space. Even without that 10-day rest period, you'd have to fight continuously for a month or even longer, constantly battling just to survive. Once you unlock all your potential or genetic locks, you won't understand any of the painful aftereffects."

Zheng Zha and the others listened with a headache. Could someone say that two people could start arguing? That would be noisier than 100 ducks.

Just then, Ming Yanwei stretched and walked over.

Just when Zheng Zha thought Ming Yanwei also wanted to join the battle, Ming Yanwei suddenly spoke up, saying, "Isn't this matter very simple? Those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go can stay in the Main God Space to train, isn't that enough? Is it necessary to argue like this?"

Her words immediately ended the argument, leaving Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong frozen in place.

Ming Yanwei thought for a moment, then asked, "Speaking of which, from what you were saying before, Sun Wukong, well, Brother Monkey, was able to become so strong because, as a primordial being, he could digest, absorb, and refine spiritual energy, while we, as ordinary people, cannot do that. Even if we exchanged for a bloodline similar to that of a primordial being from the main god, would it not improve the efficiency of that spiritual energy conversion?"

Ming Yanwei's words immediately drew everyone's attention, even Zhao Yingkong turned her gaze to her. She had always been very persistent about becoming stronger.

At this moment, Zheng Zha also thought of something. He said with some doubt, "By the way, Chu Xuan, didn't you guess before that the difference between Monkey King as a natural being and ordinary beings is that it was born with its genetic lock unlocked? Zhao Yingkong, what you meant before was that you also unlocked your genetic lock through training in the real world, but why can't you refine those spiritual energies? In fact, to some extent, your resistance to spiritual energy, or rather your utilization rate, is much lower than mine."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan simply said, "There's nothing incomprehensible about that. There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that my previous guess was completely wrong. Although Wukong unlocked his genetic lock, his ability to refine spiritual energy is different from unlocking the genetic lock. As a pre-natal being, he possesses even more unique abilities. The second possibility is that we haven't unlocked our genetic lock to a very high degree."

As he spoke, Chu Xuan's eyes became blank. He turned to look at Zhao Yingkong, who also stared wide-eyed at the sight.

After a moment, Chu Xuan's eyes returned to normal, and he said, "I forgot to mention, I actually unlocked my gene lock before, the first-level gene lock. Of course, before hearing Zhang Jie's words about the gene lock, I didn't know that the gene lock was divided into so many stages, but I guessed that Wukong's unlocking of the gene lock would be even deeper."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha turned to look at Zhe Xingsun with curiosity and asked, "Brother Monkey, speaking of which, what level of gene lock have you unlocked? If we're talking about the classification like Zhang Jie's..."

Upon hearing this, Zhe Xingsun nodded in response, "According to this, more than three levels have already been unlocked."

Zhang Jie asked with some confusion, "Brother Monkey, third rank is third rank, fourth rank is fourth rank, what do you mean by 'more than third rank'?"

Zhe Xingsun said, "The third level refers to combat instinct, body control, and brain liberation. I don't understand the meaning of the liberation gene, but I am somewhat clear about some of the changes."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha asked with some curiosity, "Brother Monkey, what are the changes in the fourth-tier gene lock? Can you tell me about them?"

Zhe Xingsun said, "The fourth-order gene lock may be related to the thirty-six or seventy-two transformations. If one obtains this gene lock, one will not drown in water, will not burn in fire, will be able to transform into a bird and soar into the sky, will be able to leap into the water like a fish, will be indestructible, will be able to harmonize yin and yang, and may even be able to comprehend some supernatural powers."

Zhe Xingsun gave a brief introduction to the fourth-order gene lock, but it was very general, leaving plenty of room for everyone's imagination.

Chu Xuan said from the side, "It seems that the key to refining spiritual energy may lie in the degree to which the genetic lock is unlocked. Perhaps unlocking the fourth-order genetic lock will increase the efficiency of refining spiritual energy. If it still doesn't work, then it's because Wukong is a pre-natal being."

As the group discussed the matter, it grew late, and they all found places to stay and rest on Flower Fruit Mountain.

The next day at dawn, when they gathered in the main city square, they saw a huge golden stone tablet appear on the square. The stone tablet was suspended five meters in mid-air, and the whole stone tablet emitted a soft golden light, which greatly attracted everyone's attention.

Chu Xuan looked at everyone and said, "This stone tablet has the same ability as the main god. By staring at it, you can receive some information."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to that direction, and some information surfaced in their minds:

"...When the team has three or more members who have unlocked their genetic potential, this information will automatically appear and remain in the Main God Space..."

"...There is no manipulation, no cruelty, and no distinction between justice and evil. Only one team can survive in the end. If you don't want to die, then surpass yourself and keep evolving..."

As everyone read through the information, they discovered that it was somewhat incomplete and seemed to abruptly stop at crucial points.

Zheng Zha coughed and looked at Chu Xuan beside him, saying, "Chu Xuan, can you analyze this?"

Chu Xuan responded, "This information can be understood as a message left by the creator of the Main God Space. This information appears directly in our minds and is also transformed into text that we can understand, indicating that its working principle is similar to that of the Main God. The general content of this information can be understood as: when three or more humans in our team unlock their genetic locks..."

He paused, then turned to Zhe Xingsun and continued, "When three or more reincarnators unlock their genetic locks, the Central Continent Team will randomly encounter reincarnation teams from other continents in the horror movie world. Moreover, the Main God doesn't want multiple teams to return to the real world separately, so he has set up very generous rewards to encourage the reincarnation teams to fight each other. I suspect it's not just because of the rewards; they might even be deliberately setting up the opposite mission for us."

"In short, if nothing unexpected happens, in the next horror movie world, we will not only face the dangers of the horror movie world, but also the tasks set by the main god. Most importantly, we will also have to fight and kill other reincarnation teams. But this is a good thing for us."
