Leaving aside what happened afterward at Primordial Tri-Unity Peak, Su Hao woke the next day and went to a nearby city, where he collected over a hundred blood samples from ordinary people as research references. Then he returned to the Temporary Base and immediately immersed himself in research.
The sooner he thoroughly understood Cultivation Talent, the sooner he could gain greater autonomy.
Su Hao was already thoroughly familiar with comparing genes to study talent. Not to mention that he dealt with genes every day in the Zhu Huo People world—even in the previous world, he had modified his own Summoner talent himself.
After only three days, Su Hao discovered an anomaly in the genes carried on Cultivators' chromosome 3. Chromosome 3 just so happened to carry the greatest number of protein-coding genes! Upon making this discovery, Su Hao blurted out, "Proteins! Cultivators' talent is related to proteins!"
This speculation greatly shocked Su Hao. "How could a Cultivator's talent be related to proteins? This isn't scientific!"
Still feeling that it was unreliable, Su Hao conducted the investigation again. Yet after repeated tests, the results remained the same.
However, he also made a new discovery. The genes on chromosome 8 showed slight differences as well, but the differences there were nowhere near as significant as those on chromosome 3.
In other words, the greatest genetic difference between people with Cultivator talent and Mortals supposedly without talent lay in the gene sequences on chromosome 3!
"What exactly does cultivation have to do with proteins?" Su Hao racked his brains, but found no answer.
Then it seemed as if he had grasped something. "No! Perhaps it isn't proteins, but something similar to proteins... But what would that be? What does this gene sequence actually represent?"
For a moment, it felt as though ten thousand
