Gene Multiplier Enhancement

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: [I know saying this makes me look clueless, but I can't help asking—how are the strength levels divided across the Myriad Realms?]

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: [The strength level division for the Myriad Realms is explained on the chat group's public screen. Go check it yourself. Also, the group rules are posted there too. Take a careful look.]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Order: [I'll log off for now, then. I need to understand things first, so I don't accidentally break any rules without knowing.]

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Order: [No problem. Go ahead if you have things to do. Just hop on and chat when you're free. One reminder though—time flows differently in each world. It only syncs when everyone's logged into the group.]

Yue Ming exited the chat window and entered the group's public screen. It recorded a wealth of information, mostly common knowledge about the Myriad Realms, including an introduction to the Myriad Realms Rank.

The chat group's rules were few and quite lenient. As for the strength level division across the Myriad Realms, there were ten ranks in total, not including ordinary beings.

First Order: Initial contact with supernatural systems. Second Order: A single punch shatters a mountain; one sword stroke destroys a city. Third Order: Breaks mountains and rivers, overturns rivers and seas, wipes out the surface. Fourth Order: A wave of the hand cuts down stars; one strike annihilates a planet. Fifth Order: With a casual motion, destroys a star system. Sixth Order: Effortlessly wipes out a universe. Seventh Order: Multi-dimensional universe; a single thought creates or extinguishes. Eighth Order: Thoroughly understands all things, impervious to eons of tribulation, untouched by cause and effect. Ninth Order: Transcends all shackles, roams the Myriad Realms, once proven, eternally proven, coexisting with the Dao. Tenth Order: Source of the Great Dao, unknowable, indescribable.

The strength level division across the Myriad Realms was based on destructive power. Considering that each world had a different cultivation system, using destructive power as the standard was undoubtedly the most suitable method.

However, Yue Ming could still understand the ranks up to Seventh Order. Beyond that, they gave a profound, almost inscrutable feeling.

Analyzing the known information, the transmigrator Sect Master Tongtian from the Primordial World was born at Seventh Order strength and advanced to Eighth Order after proving the Dao and becoming a saint. That meant a Heavenly Dao Sage was equivalent to Eighth Order.

Ninth Order was also called a Transcender, able to freely travel across the Myriad Realms. Its trait of "once proven, eternally proven, coexisting with the Dao" was quite similar to the legendary Mythical Great Luo.

As for the final Tenth Order, just from the description of "Source of the Great Dao," one could tell how powerful it was. It represented the pinnacle of existence across the Myriad Realms. The Lineage of Transmigrators was founded by several Tenth Order progenitors.

"That guy who transmigrated into Tongtian sure is lucky. Born with Seventh Order strength—a starting point that surpasses countless people. Thinking about it makes me envious and jealous..."

Also, judging from Chat Group No. 98, since it was No. 98, there must have been No. 97, 96, 95, all the way down to No. 1.

"Let me check out the Chat Group Mall. I only have the 100 points the group gave me. Hope I can find something that regrows severed limbs. Otherwise, I'll have to take a desperate gamble."

There were only three short months until the start of the Swallowed Star plot. Using normal means to scrape together thirty billion for the Water of Life in such a short time was nearly impossible. If not for being at his wit's end, Yue Ming really didn't want to risk selling information about Mist Island.

When he obtained his exclusive Golden Finger, it came with an Attribute Panel. However, the panel had no functions like stat allocation or proficiency tracking—it simply recorded Yue Ming's status information.

Yue Ming opened the Attribute Panel. Sure enough, it showed 100 points. This was the chat group's starting capital for new members.

Many transmigrators had a rough time right after crossing over and could easily die before growing strong. So the group gave each new member 100 points to get through the initial phase.

Swallowed Star - Yue Ming Rank: First Order (Collapsed) Golden Finger: Law Fusion Device Points: 100

Behind "First Order" in the rank column, there was a collapsed prompt. Yue Ming tapped it with his mind, and a more detailed, semi-transparent Attribute Panel appeared before him.

Yue Ming began searching the Chat Group Mall. But there were too many treasures inside—all kinds of rare wonders, peerless techniques, and secret manuals that dazzled his eyes.

Fortunately, the Chat Group Mall was user-friendly and had a search function. Otherwise, Yue Ming figured he'd need years to find what he needed.

"Search for treasures that can regrow severed limbs!"

[Source of Life]: From the Tomb of Gods World. Formed from the ocean-like life energy left behind after countless gods and demons died... [Purple Sun Spirit Fruit]: From the Primordial World. Blooms for a thousand years, fruits for a thousand years, ripens for a thousand years. Contains boundless Life Force... [Life Tree Sap]: From the Eternal World. The sap left behind after the Life Tree's Nirvana. Contains endless Life Potential...

The search results were just as numerous—probably no less than hundreds of thousands of types. Unfortunately, Yue Ming couldn't afford almost any of them.

"Search for treasures under 100 points that can regrow severed limbs!"

[Thousand-Year Blood Fruit]: From the Magic Gourd Cultivation World. Can reshape the body and forge a Perfect Dao Foundation... [Filthy Blood]: From the Weird Martial World. Remains left behind after a weird dies. Swallowing it grants some of that weird's special abilities. Side effect: may cause mutation... [Dragon Crystal Rice]: From the Dragon Clan World. Spirit rice mutated after being stained with dragon blood. Contains vast life energy...

Several dozen treasures appeared in the list. Most cost only one or two points, and limb regrowth was almost always a secondary effect.

Among the treasures, the most expensive was the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit, costing a full eighty points to purchase. The description stated it could forge a Perfect Dao Foundation.

"Purchase the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit."

"Eighty points deducted."

Yue Ming deliberated for a long time. The Thousand-Year Blood Fruit came from a cultivation world and could not only rebuild one's physical body but also forge a Perfect Dao Foundation.

Yue Ming was not a cultivator, nor did he plan to become one—after all, the cultivation system of the Swallowed Star universe was among the best across all worlds.

Still, that Perfect Dao Foundation was surely no simple matter. It might even be able to increase his Gene Multiplier. That was the reason Yue Ming gritted his teeth and chose the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit. Besides, the remaining twenty points were enough for him to break through to the Planetary level.

Yue Ming guessed that the so-called Perfect Dao Foundation was a transformation of the body, reshaping it into a physique more suited for cultivation.

"So this is the Thousand-Year Blood Fruit?"

A bright red fruit, about the size of a fist, resembling a ripe apple, exuded a faint fragrance. Just one whiff left a person feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

Yue Ming picked up the fruit and began to eat. The flesh melted on his tongue, turning into a surge of life energy that flowed through his limbs and bones.

The Thousand-Year Blood Fruit not only contained vast life energy but also carried a special force that continuously transformed Yue Ming's body.

A torrent of vitality merged into every part of Yue Ming's body, causing astonishing changes in his cells. His genes evolved and underwent a qualitative leap at an incredible speed.

This transformation brought Yue Ming no pain at all; instead, it felt as comfortable as a massage.

At the same time, Yue Ming felt sensation gradually return to his right leg, until finally, it was completely healed.

"So the eighty points weren't wasted. Not only did my strength break through to the Beginner War God level, but my Gene Multiplier seems to have increased as well."

A Beginner War God's strength ranged from 64,000 kg to 128,000 kg, but Yue Ming felt his own power was several times greater than that of an ordinary Beginner War God.

Opening the Attribute Panel, he saw that the Gene Multiplier had indeed increased. It seemed his choice was correct—the Perfect Dao Foundation was a transformation of the body, raising his Gene Multiplier.

Yue Ming tried circulating the genetic cultivation method and found that his absorption of Cosmic Energy was several times faster than before.

Silently sensing his body's condition, he realized that while before his body would reach saturation after two hours of daily training, now he could train for at least five or six hours a day.
