Legend of the Mythological Genes

Ever since humanity expanded through the stars, their steps had never stopped. They were like locusts spreading through the milky way galaxy incessantly, exploring further and further.

Every place they arrived at, as long as a planet had an abundance of resources, humanity would soon begin to take root there and colonize that planet.

What?

What happens if there are already aboriginals residing on the planet?

Hehe?

What do you think? Is there even a need to ask this question?…

Interstellar humans seemed magnificent in their glory, appearing extremely prosperous. But in truth, behind the glory, everything was covered in fresh blood.

The more prosperous and magnificent they appeared to be, the crueler and callous were the deeds they had done in the back.

The cruel law of the jungle in the universe resulted in bloody battles between different races. For the sake of territories and living space, the weak would be eaten by the strong.

Just like the overlord of Earth in Ancient Era. Didn’t the United States of America brutally murder the Indians at the start to gain the precious lands?

A seemingly civilized race could be incomparably cruel once there were conflicts. They might be even more brutal than wild beasts.

After all, a wild beast whose hunger was assuaged, wouldn’t hunt any other animals.

But for intelligent creatures like humans, they would always be a potential threat. Once there were benefits to be gained, they might even massacre entire species regardless of whether they were enemies or not.

And when humanity colonized other planets, the tool they used most often would be a colonial flying shuttle. A colonial flying shuttle was also known as a foundation base flying shuttle.

This kind of flying shuttle was much more valuable compared to normal flying shuttles. They could travel at light speed and pass through wormholes to traverse astronomical distances.

Once the flying shuttle landed on a planet, it would automatically switch over to foundation base mode, laying foundations suitable for human life and setting roots in the new planet.

Every colonial flying shuttle contained all kinds of knowledge regarding science and technology of humankind. Also, an internal ecological cycle system could also be formed spontaneously.

When humans entered a new planet, once they decided to colonize it, they could control the A.I. of the flying shuttle to use robots to harvest the natural resources and produce various goods and supplies. They could then swiftly build a base of operations where humans could reside in.

After that, the A.I. would use the energy source to purify the water and soil and start to sow the plant seeds they had preserved in the flying shuttle, even reproducing animals using the fertilized ovums.

If this continued, it would be inevitable for the base of humanity to expand further and further gradually as they transformed nature, turning the entire planet into one fit for humanity to reside in.

Every colonial flying shuttle was considered the pinnacle of humanity’s science and technology. They had a diverse range of functions.

Just with possessing such a flying shuttle, no matter how vast the universe was, one could go anywhere they wanted to. It was completely self-sufficient.

No wonder the people from the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was so confident that they could rise up again once they left Mars. So they had this ultimate move in their hands.

Feng Lin nodded, feeling joy and surprise in his heart.

Compared to common flying shuttles, a colonial flying shuttle was much, much higher in value. It could even be said that there were demands for it, but no one was willing to sell it.

Feng Lin also didn’t expect that he would gain such a benefit.

With ‘The Flowerfruit Mountain’, he had no worries no matter where he wanted to go in space. He could even survive in the vast universe alone with no restrictions. His degree of freedom would increase greatly.

Feng Lin was like an emperor surveying his territory. Under the guidance from the beauty A.I., he took a quick tour inside the flying shuttle.

After browsing for a round, he was finally satisfied. He felt the joy of a pauper suddenly becoming a parvenu.

Everyone would hate a parvenu!

But who would reject becoming one?

Although Feng Lin’s personality was considered calm, he was also still a human. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel happy.

“Zixia, are there only these?” The flying shuttle was so big, and there might be some details that were left out. Hence, he asked this question.

“All corporeal objects have been inspected. There is still a virtual item!” Zixia replied.

“Virtual item?” Feng Lin’s heart stirred. “Bring me there!”

“Please come with me!” A.I. Zixia smiled and led the way, bringing Feng Lin to a completely sealed game cabin as she introduced, “Captain, please enter the virtual universe from here. After doing so, you would be able to gain the control rights which the Giant Pharmaceutical Company possessed in the virtual universe. For example, you will gain control of the virtual planet they owned.”

Virtual planet?

Feng Lin felt emotionally moved.

Although in the real universe, the vast majority of human territories were occupied by the Supreme Interstellar Empires, the second universe, which was the virtual universe, was an exception.

Three thousand years ago, the father of the virtual universe—Caesar Lee—was unhappy with the fact that the various Supreme Interstellar Empires had occupied the vast majority of human territories, not leaving any free land for humankind.

His ambition was to build a second universe where everyone was equal. No one would have to be pressured by a higher authority of high-handed governments. One would have absolute freedom in there.

As long as anyone was willing to work hard, they would be able to find their lives there, which contained limitless possibilities.

Finally, after spending a hundred years of time, he finally managed to build an A.I. server that was not controlled by the Supreme Interstellar Empires, managing to create the virtual universe that linked the entire interstellar space. Anyone could easily enter there and their identities would be kept top-secret, putting an end to all snooping by the official governments.

The currency used there was star coins, the same as reality.

Once the virtual universe was created, it instantly caused a gigantic commotion among humanity and spread like an epidemic through the whole universe.

Every virtual planet was considered a unique virtual world. Movies, games, animations…there were all sorts of elements being put together. Everything humans had ever imagined was transformed into a virtual truth through digital data. Anyone could enter casually and enjoy life to the max.

A unique worldview without restrictions contained countless possibilities!

The virtual universe became the second world for humanity.

But because the creation of the virtual universe had exhausted too much of Caesar Lee’s energy, his cultivation was delayed and he died after living to three hundred plus years. Ultimately, he was stuck at the interstellar cultivator realm.

However, in order to commemorate and thank him for his great contribution, humanity decided to refer to him as the Father of the Virtual Universe from then on, carving his name into the interstellar age’s history. For a certain perspective, this could also be considered eternal glory of a certain degree.

What was peculiar was that after the Father of the Virtual Universe—Caesar Lee—passed away, given how vast the universe was, no one could find out where the virtual universe’s server was located.

Seeing that the server was able to project its signal through interstellar space without regard for distance, it should definitely be an incomparably wondrous treasure.

If someone could obtain that, it would mean that they would be able to control the entire virtual universe, the second lives of countless humans!

Sadly, this huge project of creating the virtual universe was accomplished by Caesar Lee alone. After his death, the secret of the virtual universe’s location had completely become an unsolvable mystery!

The virtual universe was still in operation. Countless people expended lots of time and effort in order to search for that obscure location of the server, but none had found it.

And it was precisely because the virtual universe had absolute secrecy and freedom, the formless territories in the virtual universe also became a type of valuable virtual assets.

A virtual asset as large as a planet was of inestimable value. In fact, it might be even more valuable compared to a planet in reality.

The interstellar space was far too vast. The majority of planets in there were dead planets containing only useless stones and rocks. They were not valuable at all.

Only an extremely few—maybe about 1% of the planets—were considered life planets. Not only life planets, but mineral planets containing natural resources were also considered to be of astronomical value.

And the virtual universe was able to change according to the user’s will, becoming a virtual world, containing countless possibilities. It was truly extremely mystical.

He didn’t expect that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company actually left a virtual planet behind!

To Feng Lin, this was truly a pleasant surprise. For some reason, he thought of the gigantic virtual planet he had seen when he had had a virtual interview with the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.

Feng Lin’s heart stirred. Controlling a planet, didn’t that mean that he could build a power that belonged to him alone in the virtual universe?
