Chapter 17: Genes? Qualifications?

Ye Chen turned his head and looked around. On this spacious platform, apart from a large number of high-tech weapons and some exquisite cold weapons, there was no one else. Not far away, there was a white crystal test tube with a diamond-shaped energy crystal suspended in it, emitting a faint halo that illuminated the white spots on the white crystal test tube. These spots were like lines, transmitting the energy of the energy crystal to the surroundings of the spacecraft.

"The energy crystal used to build this rune civilization has not run out of energy in all these years. Although this spaceship is parked in this different dimension and has not moved, it still requires a huge amount of energy to maintain the repair of the entire spaceship."

Ye Chen was surprised, as if he had seen a mobile phone battery that could last for hundreds of days.

"If the spaceship can be energized, then this energy crystal, as the core of the spaceship, as long as we control the energy crystal, it will be the button that controls the spaceship's transformation from matter to energy." Ye Chen groaned in his heart, turned around and walked up, but Bai Long and others did not follow him. Instead, they were enthusiastically selecting various cold weapons on the wall next to them.

There are a lot of cold weapons here, including knives, swords, sticks, halberds, and many other weapons with strange shapes, such as double-edged knives, curved hook swords, etc. The only thing in common is that each cold weapon is engraved with runes of different colors.

Ye Chen walked towards the white crystal test tube and saw the diamond-shaped energy crystal inside, rotating silently and emitting a faint halo, like a flawless gem.

"I wonder where the mechanism to open this test tube is?" Ye Chen looked around and didn't find any special button. He frowned slightly and pondered.

Just then——

Suddenly, the diamond-shaped energy crystal lit up, and an illusory figure floated out from it. He was short, with long white beard, green skin, and was about a foot long. It was a green talisman man.

The old man with green runes had a face full of wrinkles and deep eyes. After floating out from the energy crystal, he was suspended in the air with a translucent body. He looked at Ye Chen with a smile and said, "Hello, adventurer, my name is Nodius!"

Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he looked at the old man with green runes solemnly, and said, "Are you the intelligent system of this spaceship?"

With the experience of his previous life, Ye Chen knew that some advanced civilizations had intelligent systems. These intelligent systems could transform into various appearances and were in energy form.

"Intelligent system?" The old man was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "You can call it that, but we are all called energy controllers, and my job is to manage the energy of various channels in the spacecraft. The intelligent system you mentioned is the product of the previous civilization before ours."

Ye Chen looked at it deeply, and said calmly, "Why did you run out?"

The old man sighed softly, his expression somewhat melancholy, and said: "After that devastating war, our civilization disappeared on the Fu Beast Planet (now called Earth). Many elders and gods took their last legacies and entered the third-dimensional space. Our captain, carrying many relatives, fled and started the spacecraft at sub-light speed, preparing to leave the Fu Beast Planet and wander in the vast and mysterious universe."

"But……"

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he said, "That group of dark demons is too powerful. They used the talisman pen to set up a tracker on the spaceship. Before we could fly into the universe, they rushed over and killed the captain and others one after another, and finally abandoned the spaceship here."

He smiled bitterly and said, "With my core energy, I can't remember how long it has been. I just feel like it has been a long, long time..."

This is the feeling of a lonely person, this is the sigh of a lonely person.

Ye Chen was silent for a moment.

Is he feeling the same loneliness? That's why he is speechless?

"Adventurer!" The old man raised his head and looked at Ye Chen with a smile, hiding his previous sadness. He said, "Most of the good things in this spaceship have been looted by those dark demons. Only these things are left. With your strength, they are enough to be used as weapons."

Ye Chen nodded and said in deep thought: "Your Rune Civilization was so powerful in prehistoric times, could it be destroyed by those giant ant beasts?"

The old man sighed and said, "I don't know what the 'ants' you are talking about are, but those dark demons are indeed powerful. They come from the dark abyss. Although there are not many of them, each one is stronger than monsters like Xanla and Jechani. They have the most advanced bloodline genes. Their bodies only weigh 10 stars, but they can exert the power of 10,000 stars, which is 1,000 times their own weight. It's simply terrifying!"

Ye Chen was shocked. If these dark demons were really giant ants, then the ants before the end of the world were the descendants of the dark demons. After the catastrophe, they degenerated into fragile ants that could only exert 400 times their own weight. Now, after the evolution of the virus, these ants will gradually regain their prehistoric ferocity and strength, and once again become the most powerful monsters on earth.

The genes of each animal are different. The cheetah's genes and body structure give it exceptional speed. The eagle's genes and body structure give it the ability to fly. The ant's genes and body structure give it a strength that is 400 times its own weight!

And with evolution——

Some of these genes come from prehistoric civilized creatures, so the prehistoric genetic blood in the body will gradually revive under the stimulation of the virus and evolve towards the time of their ancestors. From this point we can know that when ants evolve to the end, they will become the dark demons of the Rune Age.

What about lions and tigers?

These originally powerful creatures might have been very weak in the early days. Because of the unknown deaths of those powerful creatures, these originally weak lives rose up in the later days.

Different genes are like the potential value of an organism!

The higher the potential value, the faster it can be called a genius! For example, an ant originally had only a little strength, but after the first month of evolution, it had the strength of 30 people. This speed of improvement is simply terrifying! And a blood-toothed tiger, from the original strength of 10 ordinary tigers, has increased to 500 people, which is only 50 times the original strength.

It's far from being comparable to ants!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The first month of the apocalypse is the period of viral outbreaks. All living things can produce the maximum limit of outbreaks, which is equivalent to unleashing the potential of each gene all at once.

Then the second one is normal evolution. The power increased each time will not be too much. For example, in the second month, the ant has the power of 80 to 100 people, which is three times that of the first month. The later it is, the slower the increase in power. After a year, it will not double at all.

After the apocalypse, tigers and lions are not the largest in size. According to Ye Chen's understanding, seven or eight years after the apocalypse, the largest monster on land was a rare animal that evolved into a super land combat beast. It was as tall as a hill and could overturn a building with one claw.

According to research, this animal was originally very small, only the size of a puppy. However, due to its genes, it may be a descendant of a super giant beast from a prehistoric civilization. Its speed and strength cannot be increased as fast as other creatures, but its physique growth is the fastest. It takes ten years for a creature of the same size as it when it was born, but it only needs one year to exceed the size of those creatures.

The quality of your genes determines your future potential.

This is also the reason why Ye Chen did not take the genes of tigers and lions, but instead took the genes of the weakest ant before the end of the world to fuse. Because in the later period, the power of tigers and lions increased slower and slower, and finally they became weak beings. In the early period, these weak beings would surpass them in the later period.

"Adventurer." The old man looked at Ye Chen with a melancholy expression, sighed, and said: "Now you are the hope of the next civilization. I hope you will not encounter extinction again. I still have some remaining things here, which may be helpful to you." As he spoke, a green light flashed in his eyes.

Snap!

A white metal wall rose up, and inside was a small table with a plate of golden fruits the size of soybeans on it, which gave off a rich aroma that whetted people's appetite.

"These are golden beans, which are the daily food of the Green Rune People. Your physical constitution is too weak, only one percent of our Green Rune People's. These golden beans can probably increase your strength and improve your physical constitution. The group of dark demon beasts disdained them and did not take them away, so I kept them." The old man said hopefully.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned. In this case, the Green Talisman people have the strength of 10,000 people. How rich energy must the food that a person with 10,000 people usually eat contain in order to make up for the energy consumed in his daily activities?

However, even though this huge temptation was right in front of him, he did not go up to take it immediately.
