Perfect Clone, One-Time System

"You're fucking talented, aren't you?" Jin Yu couldn't help blurting out as he continued reading.

This Golden Horned Beast was truly underhanded. It had actually kept something in reserve, setting the Cosmic Bank account number and password separately so they would automatically be erased if it was possessed.

It was purely meant to spite others at its own expense.

And that was only possible because account information was limited. Secret techniques could easily contain millions or tens of millions of words, so there was no way to pull off little tricks like that with them.

At this point, Jin Yu finally understood why Luo Feng hadn't gotten a single cent from the Golden Horned Beast in the original story. The thing had flipped the table. ╮(ω)╭

"Not bad. I like your style." After mocking it a little, Jin Yu had to give it a thumbs-up. In the end, all of its fancy tricks had benefited him.

After confirming that he had been born on Earth, Jin Yu began making plans.

There are Space Secret Techniques left behind by Hu Yanbo within thousands of light-years around Earth. The only way out is by flying.

If I want to get that money, the only reliable option is to find Babata and use his power to leave Earth.

Jin Yu knew that he could not leave Earth through his own abilities anytime soon. But to borrow Babata's power, he would have to join Yun Mo Star. And to join Hu Yanbo's Yun Mo Star, he had to be a Mental Master.

But he was currently in monster form. If he went looking for the Yun Mo Star spacecraft, Babata would probably imprison him outright—or even kill him.

I still can't appear on land anytime soon. If the satellites spot me and draw Hong and Thor into action, that'll be troublesome.

Jin Yu carefully recalled parts of the original story. Now that he had reached Planetary level, his memories were much clearer. He remembered that Luo Feng would soon become a Supervisor Envoy, after which Li Dawei from the military region would set him up and send him to the Southeast Military Region to help resist a beast tide.

Hmm, that's good news. I can use this opportunity to obtain Luo Feng's genes. His Mental Master talent is barely enough to catch Babata's eye.

Obtaining a Human Clone was essential. Whether it was dealing with Babata or joining major factions in the future, Jin Yu could not appear in the form of a Golden Horned Beast.

However, just as Jin Yu decided to obtain Luo Feng's genes amid the chaos later, an abrupt voice rang out in his mind.

**Perfect Clone System loaded successfully!**

Host information confirmation in progress... Confirmed. Host: Jin Yu.

Host Jin Yu. Main body: Golden Horned Beast. Loading information...

Loading complete. Thank you for using the system. Instructions have been issued. Goodbye.

And then there was nothing else, leaving Jin Yu completely stunned.

Yet strangely enough, he had already obtained the system's detailed usage instructions in his mind.

More precisely, it was a one-time system. Once it had modified Jin Yu's body, it vanished completely.

Perfect Clone? What's going on?

Jin Yu was briefly immersed in the system's instructions.

The explanation was simple. It had upgraded Jin Yu's Clone talent into the Perfect Clone Talent, allowing him to perfectly replicate the genes of creatures within the capacity of his Inner World.

You might think the Golden Horned Beast already had that ability, right?

But the difference was enormous! A Golden Horned Beast could not copy its own Clone talent. Even if it copied its own genes, the resulting Golden Horned Beast Clone would lose its Inner World.

That was a restriction imposed by the Original Universe and the Supreme Rule, meant to prevent infinite bug abuse.

But after being modified by the system, Jin Yu's Clone talent had broken through the restrictions of the rules. He could perfectly replicate any genes within his capacity.

More importantly, what did "perfect" mean? It meant he could completely replicate both the target's physical and soul talents.

Holy shit! Doesn't that mean I can obtain unlimited Clones?

Without even thinking, Jin Yu immediately decided to replicate his own genes. Copying himself meant gaining three more Clones. What was there to consider?

Inner World.

This was an independent landmass roughly 160 meters long and wide, and its end could be seen at a glance. Beyond 160 meters above the landmass was Golden Mist, while endless Golden Mist also surrounded the land. The land itself was golden, dotted with small mounds that were all made of metal.

At this moment, Jin Yu was only at the peak of Planetary level 1. His Inner World was therefore tiny, with a diameter of just over 160 meters.

He cut open his fingertip with a claw, then used his Devouring talent to directly swallow a cluster of red blood droplets into his Inner World.

"Clone Talent, gestate!"

With a thought from Jin Yu—

Rumble!

The entire metallic land shook. That cluster of red blood droplets floated above the metal ground as though supported by an invisible force.

This was one of only three opportunities the Golden Horned Beast possessed in its lifetime. The Inner World had to grow to Universe level before it could be used a second time. Yet now, Jin Yu was using the one Clone talent available to him at the Planetary level to begin gestating a Clone!

"Hiss—" It was as though it had been broken down.

The floating blood instantly vaporized.

"Whoosh, whoosh—" Countless streams of Golden Mist that had originally filled the sky above the metallic land and the space beyond it surged madly toward the center, swiftly wrapping around the trace genetic material left behind by the vaporized blood. In mere moments, it became an oval Golden Egg.

"It's begun!"

After using his Clone Talent Secret Technique, Jin Yu naturally received some information.

For ordinary Golden Horned Beasts, the time needed to gestate a body depended on their own strength and the genes of the body being gestated. The stronger the Inner World, the faster the gestation. And the lower the genetic material, the easier it was to gestate.

But Jin Yu was different. He discovered that the time he needed to gestate life was extremely short. According to the feedback, it would take no more than a day to succeed.

I thought it would take a long time, but it only needs one day? That's absurdly overpowered! But I like it. Once he learned the exact gestation time, Jin Yu was filled with delight. He could not have been more satisfied.

Some noble and powerful races might require centuries or even millennia to be gestated. Yet this only required a single day. It was perfect beyond perfection, just as expected of a Perfect Talent modified by the system.

One day later.

August 21, 2057, Earth calendar.

"Finally, the gestation is complete." Jin Yu lay quietly on the ocean floor, his consciousness focused on the Golden Egg within his Inner World.

A massive oval Golden Egg floated in the sky. It had been small when gestation first began, but it gradually grew larger. It now stood sixteen meters tall.

As the eggshell slowly thinned, a new Golden Horned Beast had fully matured within.

"Crack, crack." Cracks gradually appeared on the shell. Then a vicious claw stretched out from within. Finally, the eggshell shattered, and a new Golden Horned Beast floated in the air.

The Golden Horned Beast opened its tightly shut eyes, revealing cold dark-golden pupils. Then it looked around the Golden Continent with slight curiosity.

"So this is my Inner World?" A strange glint flashed through the Golden Horned Beast's eyes.

Then, with a thought, it left the Inner World.

In the deep sea, another identical Golden Horned Beast abruptly appeared beside the original pitch-black one.

"It really is strange. The two sets of senses are independent, yet their thoughts remain synchronized and unified."

Through the bodies of the two Golden Horned Beasts, Jin Yu discovered that their thoughts and memories were completely synchronized.

Clones truly were an incredibly miraculous existence.

"Huh? Fluctuations of the Law of Gold?" Jin Yu suddenly widened his eyes. He had actually sensed strange fluctuations in the universe. His Inherited Memory allowed him to confirm that they were fluctuations of the Law of Gold!

"Is this the effect of Talent Amplification?"

According to the information he had learned from the instructions, Clone talents could be amplified. After the modification, there was a mysterious connection between the Clones, allowing their talents to stack.

Moreover, unlike ordinary Clones, the three Clones separated from the main body and the original body were completely independent. In other words, the original body and its three separated Clones existed independently as entirely new individuals.

They were connected, yet independent. Even if a Clone's soul was destroyed, it could still be revived.

This ability absolutely surpassed the so-called God King level. After all, once one reached the True God level, all Clones had to merge into one.

Yet Jin Yu's Clones were completely independent and unaffected by the rules. Even God Kings could not accomplish this. Perhaps Origin Lords could, but even they could not possess multiple independent Clones. Otherwise, City Lord Luo and the others would not need to nurture successors—they could simply send their Clones into battle together.

This Clone system might be far more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.

As for its specific functions and subtler details, he would need to uncover them bit by bit in the future.
