Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Ding, Ding, Ding!

On the second morning, the notification sounds of Feng Lin’s microchip rang out, startling him awake.

“Who?” Feng Lin opened his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.

Being awakened in the morning like this made him extremely unhappy.

He activated his microchip and saw a projection of a figure with large head and big ears staring right back at him, causing him to feel a great shock.

“What the hell?” Feng Lin leaped up.

That figure resembling a giant pig started to speak. “Are you master Hongjun? I’m Zhu Tiangang. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! No, I’m the poster in the Mythological Forum and my id is ‘Fatty with a cultivation dream’. You said that if the Obese Gene, Binge Eating Gene, and Pigskin Gene combine, they can be evolved into the Big Belly Gene? I’m truly filled with gratitude that you are helping me to achieve my dreams. The reward money has already been sent to your account, master Hongjun. This time, I wish to purchase the full genetic evolution formula…”

He continued speaking words of gratitude and respect.

Do Pigs know how to speak?

Feng Lin had just woken up; thus, he still felt somewhat in a daze. In his vision, a giant egg was bobbing agitatedly about.

After he returned to his senses and took a closer look, he discovered that this was not a pig. It was a human!

This human with a pig-like face was speaking continuously, and his two large ears wobbled about.

How obese was this man?

For a moment, Feng Lin was truly shocked. But after he paid attention, he calmed himself down.

So this fatty was the poster with the id ‘Fatty with a cultivation dream’?

Feng Lin activated his id microchip and discovered that 10,000 star coins had indeed been transferred into his account.

This amount of money was pretty huge, but this poster had directly sent it without confirming the truth with him? It seemed like this fatty was an extremely wealthy money lord!

As the saying goes, seeing a spot on the leopard’s skin is equal to seeing the entire leopard. Seeing the head of somebody is equivalent to seeing the person completely.

Although the projection only showed the huge face of this fatty, Feng Lin could very well imagine the size he had ballooned into.

His weight was only 500 kg? It should be almost 1,000 kg already, right?

Did he eat too much after he posted the question and gained more weight since then?

…

Being so obese to such an extent could be considered a talent too. It was truly impossible for ordinary people to achieve this!

Feng Lin was speechless.

Also, this fatty referred to himself as Zhu Tiangang earlier. Was that his real name?

Feng Lin had a look of contemplation on his face after he heard that this man wanted to purchase the full evolutionary genetic formula. His heart couldn’t help but stir.

Although genetic formulas were valuable, to Feng Lin, the vast majority of them were useless.

There was a limit to human’s energy. He could simply choose the path with the brightest future or a few paths with good prospects. By then, his own future would be boundless.

This Big Belly Gene was merely a mid-grade primeval gene that would cause one to be as fat as a pig. Other than a ‘genius fatty’ like this man, ordinary humans would never choose this cultivation path.

Feng Lin naturally didn’t have any regards or any use for this gene formula.

If this useless genetic formula could be used to exchange for star coins, wouldn’t it be great?

But the prerequisite was that he had to see if this man was reliable.

Feng Lin opened up the projection function on his microchip and started to converse with the fatty.

Naturally, he didn’t reveal his true face. He used the virtual simulation to create the image of Dao Ancestor Hongjun that radiated an air of celestiality and started to converse with the fatty through the internet.

“Are you Master Hongjun?” The fatty glanced at Feng Lin and passionately asked.

One had to say that this image of Hongjun, which Feng Lin had created, was extremely imposing and real. It had perfectly matched with the image of a respectable and powerful senior in the fatty’s heart.

Feng Lin nodded, smiling but not commenting. He intentionally wanted to project an ethereal feeling of mystery, causing others to feel that it was not so easy to get close to him.

To a stranger, such an image was of miraculous effect. It would cause others to easily be convinced by him.

“Master Hongjun, you are a geneticist right?” Feng Lin didn’t even say anything, but the fatty already silently agreed that Feng Lin must be a mysterious and powerful geneticist. He excitedly continued, “Master, the evolutionary path of the Big Belly Gene is something I’ve never heard before. All the various geneticists I hired before are completely useless. They are unable to let me set my foot on the pathway of cultivation. If you can allow me to cultivate successfully, money isn’t a problem!”

Fatty spoke with conviction and confidence. Feng Lin could sense how rich this fatty was from his tone.

Feng Lin wasn’t surprised at how eager the fatty seemed.

The genes in a human’s body were countless, like the stars in the sky. For any gene, if one wanted to combine it with other genes to create a new evolutionary genetic formula, there were millions of variations that might affect its success. Every new evolutionary genetic formula would typically have to be supported by a vast amount of scientific data for validation.

Hence, it was so difficult to get a new genetic formula.

This evolutionary genetic formula of the Big Belly Gene was like a stalk of life-saving grass to this fatty who had always been unable to cultivate. It was only to be expected that this fatty would be extremely eager.

Even before Feng Lin made a reply, the fatty already continued speaking, increasing the payment as though he was afraid that Feng Lin might refuse.

“Master, if you are willing to tell me the correct evolutionary path of this genetic formula, I will give you 500,000 star coins. No, a million star coins! How about it?” This fatty truly didn’t seem to care about the price paid. His wealthy aura was rising to the sky, even Feng Lin was stunned by the amount.

This was the Interstellar Era!

Even land itself wasn’t worth any money.

The past tycoons and magnates in the Ancient Earth Era couldn’t be compared at all. The truly wealthy people in the Interstellar Era all had planets among their fixed assets.

These people were known as star magnates.

By possessing a planet, even though that planet might be a barren planet filled with the aura of death, all the minerals and resources that could be excavated from there were still exceedingly valuable.

And there was the fact that those peak-level star magnates would not only possess a single life planet. In fact, humans on the planet, the animals, the companies—all of those would be under their control. Just collecting tax alone would generate them astronomical wealth.

And now, a star magnate character actually appeared before him? If Feng Lin didn’t take advantage of this and give him a good fleecing, who would he fleece?

“Sure.” Feng Lin didn’t hesitate and straightforwardly agreed.

This was just the evolutionary genetic formula for a mid-grade primeval gene, and he had no regard for it.

There were no best genes, there were only the most suitable genes.

This Big Belly Gene was extremely strange. Ordinary humans would never choose to cultivate it and it wouldn’t be worth a lot of money. He would only be able to sell this for a sky-high price if he encountered someone like this fatty.

He didn’t want to miss this opportunity. It wouldn’t come knocking on his door again.

“I do indeed have the complete evolutionary genetic formula. If you want, I can sell it to you.” Feng Lin didn’t beat around the bush. “If you can trust me, transfer half of the price to me first and I will divulge the genetic formula to you. The remaining money can be paid to me after that.”

Feng Lin spoke calmly. He wasn’t afraid that this person would go back on his word.

500,000 star coins were considered a lot as well. Even if this fatty regretted it later on, Feng Lin wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

“Ding, ding! 500,000 star coins were just transferred to your account!” Even before Feng Lin could finish his sentence, a notification already rang out from his microchip.

“The money has already been sent. Tell me the genetic formula now.” The Fatty’s eyes gleamed with a bright light.

“…” Feng Lin was completely speechless. After that, he sent the information regarding the evolutionary genetic formula of the Big Belly Gene over to the fatty.

“Ding, ding. Another 500,000 star coins received!”

A mid-grade primeval gene’s genetic formula actually netted him a million star coins.

After that, there was no news from the fatty. Clearly, the fatty must be impatiently checking the genetic formula out.

Feng Lin was stunned by the wealthy aura of this fatty.

What identity did this fatty have exactly?

A million star coins felt like mere pocket change to the fatty and were paid to him just like that.

He truly couldn’t imagine the thoughts of those who were truly rich!

In the Interstellar Era, the resources of the universe could be considered limitless. It was simply unimaginable how much wealth some of those star magnates possessed.

Feng Lin felt that his horizons were too shallow, and he silently mocked himself for being startled too easily. He shook his head and continued browsing through the forum to answer more questions.

He merely used some time to answer the questions. To think that he would so easily earn a million star coins.

Next, he would still have to work hard and gain more fame so he could become a Mythology Great V as soon as possible.

…

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

In an unknown location in the depths of interstellar space, a burst of loud laughter rang out, reverberating throughout the small planet.

“Hahaha. I, Zhu Tiangang, have finally become an interstellar cultivator!”

“What, you became an interstellar cultivator already?” When Feng Lin received another message from the fatty, there was a blank look in his eyes.

Obese Gene x8 + Binge Eating Gene x10 + Pigskin Gene x6 = Big Belly Gene.

The three basic-tier genes weren’t of high grades, and they were all considered low-grade basic genes. Therefore, it would be tough for ordinary humans even if they merely wanted to strengthen them to three points or more.

However, this fatty managed to do it in a single day! He took only one day to become an interstellar cultivator!

How fast was this speed when compared to Feng Lin?

When humans compared themselves to other humans, they would surely be angered to death.

Feng Lin had the assistance from his genetic equation ability and was able to swiftly strengthen his genes. But even so, he had to experience the internal clan’s conflict, the warfare on Mars, the dangers in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company before he became an interstellar cultivator. His path was filled with thorns.

Yet, this fatty succeeded in a single day.

How much talent did this fatty have in the aspect of being fat?

Feng Lin was speechless. When had it been so easy to become an interstellar cultivator? No, it was useless if one just had talent! They also needed vast amounts of cultivation resources as support before they could achieve this miracle of becoming an interstellar cultivator within a single day.

Even so, this fatty definitely had an extraordinary future on his cultivation path of the Obese Gene. His talent was unprecedented, and it would be tough for anyone to ever match it.

Given how vast interstellar space was, there truly was no lack of wonders.

Feng Lin reminded himself that he absolutely could not underestimate anyone.

He might have his own miraculous encounters, but others might be the same as well. Some geniuses were just waiting for an opportunity. Once that opportunity arrived, they would fly up to the sky in a single leap!

Although Feng Lin was shocked, in order to preserve that mysterious feel, he calmly nodded in response.

Upon seeing how calm he was, Fatty’s joy slowly subsided. He silently mused, “A master is truly a master. I thought I could shock him by becoming an interstellar cultivator in just one day. I didn’t expect him to be so calm. Most probably, he has seen countless cultivation geniuses before. I cannot be considered anything in his eyes.”

The image he had of Feng Lin began to elevate again in his heart, becoming a reclusive expert that stood at the peak of interstellar space. However, he had no idea that this Master Hongjun’s heart was currently trembling from shock.

Before this, the fatty was trash. Right now, he became an interstellar cultivator in the span of a single day.

The fatty was unable to hold back the resentment in his heart. “Master, you don’t understand. I was born in an illustrious aristocrat clan and is of direct descent, the son of the clan leader. However, I couldn’t cultivate and others called me trash. I suffered endless mockery!

“At the start, I’ve already accepted this in my heart. I felt that I was like the trash-like characters in the novels of the Ancient Earth Era. By enduring, accumulating knowledge, and building up my foundation, I thought I could shoot up to the skies with a single leap in the future. However, as time passed by, I discovered that other than being fat and having money, I completely had none of the fortunes that favors those novel’s main characters.

“I have a powerful background, yet I didn’t have any talent in cultivation. A hundred years later, I thought I would only be buried into a hole in the ground, and it’s useless no matter how much money I have. I also have no wish to undergo genetic engineering and become a monster with a strange appearance. But who would have imagined that I, Zhu Tiangang, have really become an official interstellar cultivator! HAHAHA..”

It felt like there were so many negative feelings in his heart due to all the humiliation and mockery he suffered. Right now, the fatty was venting his emotions out as he laughed uproariously.

Feng Lin quietly listened. He could completely understand this fatty’s emotion.

However, he wasn’t simply listening. He had another intention.

Dragons wouldn’t mingle with snakes.

Although this fatty had an ugly appearance, it was true that his talent was extraordinary and he was also from an illustrious aristocrat clan. He had great potential.

Although he was deemed as trash by others in the past, after he obtained the cultivation pathway, he only used a single day to become an interstellar cultivator.

The four precepts of cultivation… Wealth, Companion, Earth, Law… This fatty only lacked ‘Law’!

Once he managed to obtain ‘Law’, he would instantly soar up to the heavens and have a boundless future.

For Feng Lin, things were the opposite. He lacked ‘Wealth’, ‘Companion’, and ‘Earth’; however, because of his mythological knowledge and genetic equation, the thing he didn’t lack most was ‘Law’.

Adding embroidery on a perfect brocade, how could it be compared to someone sending hot coals to a person in need in winter?

This fatty was a money lord and had enough value to be roped in by Feng Lin.

Feng Lin’s heart stirred. He wanted to see if he could form a friendship with this fatty or even make him into his subordinate. That might really happen in the future.

Upon seeing the calmness in the face of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, this fatty couldn’t help but feel impressed secretly in his heart.

As expected of a mysterious geneticist. It seems that this Master is truly unmoved by favor or disgrace. He is capable of remaining indifferent in the face of everything.

Yet, he had no idea that this Master before him had malicious intentions toward him, hehehe…

“Master, I’ve already become an interstellar cultivator. I wish to know how I should proceed on my future cultivation path. I wonder if you can continue to guide me? I want more evolutionary genetic formulas. As long as this can be settled by star coins, the amount you want isn’t a problem. If 10 million star coins are not enough, let it be 20 million star coins then…” After becoming an interstellar cultivator, that fatty couldn’t control his impatience and wanted to continue to break through. The wealthy aura from him was rising so high now that it almost broke the dome of the heavens…

He was simply trying to smash Feng Lin with star coins. No matter how calm Feng Lin was, he couldn’t help but pant as he opened his mouth, preparing to accept.

However, his rationale told him to calm down. After thinking about it a little, he felt that something wasn’t right.

His image was that of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He naturally had to give off a sense of etherealism as a lofty individual that stood above everyone else. How could he show no restraint? If he gave in now, wouldn’t his image collapse and attract doubts? That would be extremely detrimental to his future plans.

After whetting the fatty’s appetite, he might even gain a more wondrous reaction if he showed restraint now.

Having what the fatty desired in his hands, Feng Lin felt no worry at all. This fatty could do what he wanted to, but he wouldn’t be able to swim out of his palm.

“There’s no hurry about this.” Feng Lin shook his head lightly as a mysterious smile appeared on his face. It was like his heart wasn’t moved by the astronomical price the fatty stated.

His projection started to fade away, on the verge of going offline.

“Master Hongjun, don’t do this to me. I have money, I have plenty of money. As long as you tell me the following genetic formulas, I’m willing to pay you as much star coins as you want. If 20 million is not enough, how about 50 million? If not, how about 100 million?!” Fatty hurriedly called out.

However, Feng Lin’s projection already vanished. He had already gone offline. It was useless no matter how loudly the fatty continued to shout.

The moment Feng Lin went offline, he clutched his chest with his hands, feeling pain in his heart.

Damn it! In order to appear mysterious, he actually gave up on such a chance to make good money.

How extravagant was that fatty?

Was it very impressive that he had money?

So what even if that fatty gave him 1 billion or 10 billion in the future? That fatty shouldn’t expect him to cave in right…?

NOOO, it was truly very awesome to be wealthy!

In truth, Feng Lin wanted to have a transaction with the fatty very much. After all, that was an offer of 100 million star coins. Who didn’t want to earn it?

However, he had already run out of genetic potential and temporarily wasn’t able to deduce new genetic formulas.

Feng Lin decided not to browse the mythological forum any longer and focused on cultivation instead.

He gulped down bottles of potions of life and spent a total of two days in cultivation. Other than his daily needs of eating and relieving himself, he spent all his time on cultivation.

Genetic potential +45%, +46%, +48%…all the way until 518%.

Feng Lin wasn’t in a hurry to add points to his strengthening tally. He used his genetic potential to deduce the genetic formula for that fatty instead.

He wasn’t in that much of a hurry to strengthen his genes.

Now, the target of 100 million star coins was right before his eyes. No matter what he tried, he wasn’t able to remain calm.

Very swiftly, after 182% of genetic potential was consumed, a brand new genetic formula appeared.

Big Belly Gene x8 + Demonic Aura Gene x10 + Pig Fetus Gene x9 = Pig Demon Gene

=====

Gene: Pig Demon Gene

Grade: High-grade transcendent gene

Strengthening Tally: 0

Ability: Pig demon in human form, boundless strength, endless capacity in the big belly, capable of devouring the heavens and earth.

=====

Pig Demon Gene?

Feng Lin didn’t expect that the Big Belly Gene could evolve into such a gene. From a mid-grade primeval gene, it could be evolved into a high-grade transcendent gene.

Not only did the tier improve, but the quality of the grade also improved as well.

What made Feng Lin taken aback was that this was also a singular pathway of evolution. This was the same as his Sun Wukong’s mythological path.

Could it be that the Pig Demon Gene can further evolve into…

A wondrous premonition appeared in Feng Lin’s heart. He felt that if this Pig Demon Gene was to continue evolving, the result might end up having a very close connection with him.

He didn’t hesitate and continued to use his genetic equation to deduce the future evolutionary pathway.

This time around, a total of 316% of genetic potential was consumed and the evolutionary genetic formula for the Pig Demon Gene finally appeared.

Pig Demon Gene x10 + Heavenly Dipper Gene x8 + Banished Immortal Gene x6 = Zhu Ganglie Gene

This is…???

Zhu Bajie’s (Pigsy) mythological pathway to godhood!!!
