Chapter 77: The Tyranis’ Power Rankings

Potion of Genetic Expansion?

Making space for a third gene?

Xu Zhi frowned.

Lots of junk genetic information would accumulate in the genes of normal creatures throughout their long evolutionary process.

Therefore, their genes would only have enough free space to take in a second gene, and not a third gene.

Feeling as if he had discovered a new continent, Xu Zhi was astonished and asked the Hive Mind: "What do you think of this Potion of Genetic Expansion?"

The Hive Mind mechanically replied:

"This potion that the medical students are trying to develop was very common in the era of the previous Tyranis Queen. The previous Tyranis Queen divided genes into 5 levels The further along you are, the more difficult it gets. Once youve taken in the 5th gene, youll reach the ultimate level! Youll become a legendary Tyranis Hero who can break the genetic lock and freely adjust your genes!"

Xu Zhi was taken aback.

So thats how it is?

The Tyranis has 5 power rankings according to the number of their genes.

You become a Tyranis Hero when you can integrate a fifth gene?

Xu Zhi thought for a while. The Phoenixs genes gave it four innate abilities:

Control over fire, toxic flames, fire immunity, and fiery rebirth.

That is, it was born with the equivalent of four genes.

No wonder the hive Mind said that it was a natural-born Pseudo Tyranis Hero.

It's just that three of its innate abilities were quite ordinary, and only fiery rebirth could be considered a godly gene!

The Hive Mind continued:

"Life-forms with three genes are the standard for Mythic Creatures Presently, it is impossible for low-level life-forms with only two genes to reach the Mythic Eighth Level."

Xu Zhi nodded when he heard these words.

In other words, the Epic Seventh Level could be reached with hard work, but the Mythic Eighth Level was beyond what the sandbox's current level of life-forms was capable of, and they had to integrate a third gene.

Weaker life-forms cannot bear the strain of such great power.

"That is to say, in the previous generation, which focused on science and technology, the Potion of Genetic Expansion is the foundation of your power development?" Xu Zhi frowned slightly. "Without it, its impossible for the people in the sandbox to reach the Mythic Level Eight?"

The Tyranis Hive Mind replied in a mechanical voice: Thats right! Tyranis Queen, continuing down this path is not recommended. The Potion of Genetic Expansion is from the path of science and technology, which depended on all kinds of potions to stimulate ones genes, like the Potion of Strength, the Potion of Speed, the Potion of Dexterity

This generation, which focuses on the development of superpowers, should create a training method that enables an individual to open up space in their genes by naturally breaking through their limits instead of relying on the Potion of Longevity.

Xu Zhi nodded and pondered seriously.

The path of science and technology used the "Potion of Longevity" to break the limits of the human body.

The path of superpowers should focus on training methods instead.

If he used genetic medicine to breakthrough, he would indeed be following the same path of technology as the previous Tyranis Queen.

Breaking through with the help of external factors would leave you with a much weaker foundation than achieving it through your own efforts!

At the moment, these medical students were frantically brainstorming and looking through reference books in the library. After studying the molecular diagrams of the other worlds medicinal plants, theyve somehow managed to start walking down the same path as the previous Tyranis Queen.

"Should I stop this development?"

Xu Zhi frowned and looked at the excited comments on the Internet.

"Forget it. Itll be very difficult for me to stop them anyway. What am I supposed to do? Disconnect their internet? Bonk them on the head? Issue an announcement that would prohibit them from doing this research?

I shouldn't try so hard, and let them do as they wish. This could also be considered a kind of magic potion When Epic Seventh Level Mages ignite their divine flames and ascend the less talented ones would use this forbidden potion, while the more gifted ones would depend on their own strength. Doing so would let them freely choose the properties of their third gene and divine flame. This kind of setting is interesting and would also makes sense"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and decided to leave things be. "However, its as you say, I should put that training method on the agenda."

However, they should be able to figure something out by themselves, right?

  After all, their current level as life-forms was too low. Without a third gene, reaching the Mythic Eighth Level was impossible!

Legendary Sixth Level, Epic Seventh Level, and Mythic Eighth Level. The Mythic Eight Level was a dividing line; life-form with only two genes could progress through the first seven Levels, but from Level Eight on, you must have three genes. This was an absolute and fundamental change.

Although Mythic Creatures haven't appeared yet, Xu Zhi still had to plan for the future.

Xu Zhi frowned slightly. "However, their second gene now is from the Blood of the Evil Eye', but what will they pick for their third gene once they reach the Mythic stage? Thats also something Ill have to consider."

Currently in the sandbox, there were only two other extraordinary species: the Slime and the Pallbearer Chicken.

No matter which gene you picked, they were all rubbish and would affect your future potential!

"Its because these crazy bastards are not working hard enough." Xu Zhi was sitting in his yard eating his apple while enjoying the cool breeze. He ruefully shook his head and looked at the wacky players in the smaller sandbox with a disappointed expression.

"To think that even after all this time, they still havent evolved any new species with acceptable potential. Because of that, I dont have more genetic options."

The players in the forum naturally didnt know that Xu Zhi was chatting with Hive Mind while thinking of better ways to exploit them. At this moment, they were all very excited.

Meanwhile, Grantham was sitting in a daze in front of his computer.

He originally thought that posting online asking for help was just him struggling in vain, and nothing would come of it, but who knew that these medical students would workthishard to prove themselves! They were even crazier than he was!

Theyve actually found a way!

Grantham excitedly clicked on his mouse and started typing a new post.

Future Skywhale: "If you can really help me, I will livestream how the Emperor of Alchemy rises from the ashes in this post. Youll know all about how Ill counterattack and put down the rebellion!"

Then, Future Skywhale posted a pitch-black screenshot, indicating that this was what he could see at the moment: he was currently unconscious.

Hell post a livestream of the Emperor of Alchemy putting down the rebellion in his old age?

Everyone was excited. They felt that this was super interesting.

Cerebral Bluff: "F*ck! You medical whizzes are amazing! People in the Magic World can only take in a single genethe gene of the Evil Eye which lets them become mages, but you guys have found a way to break this rule and allow people to take in one more gene?"

Hands Off: "Our medical knowledge will change another world! Woot! Now that you have found the way, how is this Potion of Genetic Expansion coming along then? Hurry and let the boss reverse the situation and live a third life!"

Cute Girl who wants to evolve into a Dragon: "Quickly, help the boss pull a reversal!"

When the medical students saw everyone was excitedly following their progress, they were also very excited. They hurriedly typed their reply.

Studying medicine to save another world: "At present, we do have a formula for the Potion of Genetic Expansion, but well need the blood of the Phoenix. We speculate that the Phoenixs fiery rebirth should clear up enough junk from ones genetic structure to make room for a third gene."
