019 Bloodline Fluctuation
[Gene Construction in progress...]
Li Aoz lacked knowledge of Pharmacokinetics, and by the time the drug took effect, Li Aoz had already embarked on his journey to Grand. Along the way, the progress of Gene Construction was neither fast nor slow, and sometimes it would even pause, which left Li Aoz speechless.
It's just a way to kill time during the journey.
However, Li Aoz's journey was not smooth.
First, Sky Ring promised to provide Private Plane service, but a natural disaster struck and the flight was canceled.
Fortunately, Sky Ring had prepared all the necessary documents for him. Because they were worried that Frostplate's Law Three Special Agent would become suspicious, the SCIA arranged for him to transfer to the neighboring Sasco Republic, where he could take a train to bypass Frostplate and enter the Western Continent Wasteland.
The vast plateau was majestic, but devoid of any life. Li Aoz, being physically strong and unafraid of altitude sickness, hiked several kilometers to meet with the SCIA agents there. They then provided Li Aoz with an off-road vehicle loaded with supplies and a tourist visa to Gurland.
"This is your car."
Li Aoz took down the supply package, reversed gravity, and took off directly from the spot, passing through the Outland at high speed from low altitude.
The speed at which he drives is far slower than the speed at which he flies.
Secondly, Li Aoz did not expect that he would encounter snow tornadoes twice along the way. Thunder roared, gales swept by, and the desolate land was barren and bleak. Li Aoz had to slow down. Later, he would stop flying from time to time and use gravity to collapse inward, creating a solid sphere that was firmly locked on the ground.
After finally waiting for the tornado to end, the changes in the magnetic field caused by the natural disaster rendered the navigation system unusable.
The Azure Planet's atmosphere was sealed off by the Malefic Calamity, and without orbital satellites to help with positioning, Li Aoz had no choice but to stay put and sleep. He set up a tent against a mountain peak, brewed coffee, rested, and browsed the player forums.
With the countdown to the closed beta test approaching, forum users have basically figured out the list of the first batch of people to join Azure Planet. Apart from a few companies and military personnel, some knowledgeable people have compiled a detailed list of the names of the personnel.
Since the first batch of professional clubs that moved in were incredibly weak, Li Aoz didn't pay attention to the original professional players. Instead, he focused on checking the player lists of large guilds and individual players, and found a few interesting guys.
In particular, there is an independent player with the ID ' Caramel Snail '. According to forum users, this Caramel Snail is a complete newbie, and there is no information about his background.
Li Aoz was quite familiar with this guy. Caramel Snail was in the same industry as him and would become a very popular streamer in the future. His main skill was the [Destruction] type 1v1 king, [Twilight Sword Saint], who had the highest PK winning streak record in the entire Star Abyss history with 209 matches.
Moreover, unlike the [Starcaller] path that Li Aoz belongs to, the [Twilight Sword Saint] path is an extremely popular path, Caramel Snail is considered to be the candidate with the best chance of God Embracer on the [Twilight Sword Saint] path, without exception.
However, this profession has the same problem as the [Starcaller]: due to various restrictions, they cannot participate in competitions. On the contrary, other paths in the [Destruction] category, such as [Delusion Shattering Asura], [Apex Martialist], and [Shadow Lord], are frequent participants in competitions.
As a rare solo player, Caramel Snail immediately attracted attention. When someone asked him on the forum which server he would choose to descend to, he answered without hesitation, "Sky Ring, I really like the feeling of swords clashing."
Great, this kid is on the right track. Li Aoz has found someone who shares his values, and he's in a good mood.
The strong wind lasted for a long time. When it finally stopped, Li Aoz suddenly felt a sudden surge of excitement. He opened his palm, and cracks involuntarily appeared on his palm, from which red and black crystals grew.
The system immediately displayed a series of prompts: [Integrated Gene Sequence]
[Release Invalid Gene Fragments]
[Replicate Gene Fragments]
The New Aura Gene Constructed.
Li Aoz rubbed his neck. He had to admit that his current level was still a bit behind that of the Nethermark Humanity. At least their drugs worked really fast, while he had to wait a full 40 hours.
[Child of the Source Abyss, you have opened a new gateway to the path of domination.]
[It's astonishing that such a slight mutation has granted you new power.]
[Please choose one of the following options as your subordinate Aoneng]: A - [Physical Enhancement]: Zeta-class (ζ, the sixth Greek letter) Aoneng, providing dual benefits to [Constitution] and [Charisma]. You possess a body of steel; your strong physique can withstand ordinary bullets and unleash powerful force.
Aoneng's performance:
Active activation—muscle fibers throughout the body are strengthened and proliferated, muscle groups bulge instantly, bones expand and become incredibly hard (bones are 10 times harder than steel).
Passive state - Each time you advance to a higher level, your constitution increases by an additional 15, and your maximum health increases by 100 permanently;
"Steel and iron-like, rugged and incorruptible."
B – [Electric Shock]: Alpha-class (α, the first Greek letter) Aoneng, [Charm] single benefit. You can connect the power-generating cells in your body in series to generate 30 volts, that's all.
Aoneng's performance:
Active activation – discharge, 30 volts, 0.2 milliamps, be content.
Passive state – immune to the paralyzing effect caused by electric shock.
Let's shake hands.
C - [Rose Dragon Scale]: Kappa-class (κ, the tenth Greek letter) Aoneng, [Charm] Single Benefit. You have synthesized certain genes in your body into a dragon sequence, which helps you improve your bloodline potential. Dragon scales are just the beginning.
Aoneng's performance:
Active activation – The body surface is covered with dragon scales that resemble rose petals. Each dragon scale is 50 times stronger than stainless steel and has a certain heat absorption effect. When the scales are subjected to excessive impact, they will actively fall off.
Passive state - Dragon genes are implanted in your Gene Sequence, and your race will gradually evolve into a dragon.
D - [Mountains Armor]: Kappa-class (κ, the tenth Greek letter) Aoneng, [Charisma] single benefit. Your genes unexpectedly achieved a Spellcasters's genetic combination, drawing elemental power from the earth and converging it into this body to form immortal armor.
Aoneng's performance:
Active Activation – Consumes Aura Value to summon a set of sturdy armor on your body.
Passive state - You are able to draw elemental power from free space to restore your Aura Value.
"Tsk, you get what you pay for."
Li Aoz somewhat disgruntled.
These Aoneng items are only of average quality, with only [Rose Dragon Scale] and [Mountains Armor] being passable.
The Rose Dragon Scale has a fatal flaw: it modifies the genes of those who possess Aoneng to some extent, allowing them to incorporate dragon genes.
As everyone knows, what is a dragon? Anyone with even a trace of dragon blood in their body is a dragon.
The dragon race has a distinct class system, with the upper classes having absolute dominance and bloodline control over the lower classes. Dragon Race can even remotely sense and control the behavior and consciousness of Dragon Race through bloodlines.
Li Aoz didn't want to create a fatal weakness because of a mere Kappa-class Aoneng.
Moreover, he also knew that Grina·Water Vortex, a Dragon Race, was in the tenth narrative, so he dared not let his guard down.
Although the dragon bloodline is extremely powerful, Li Aoz does not want to follow that path.
As a transmigrator, Li Aoz knew there were three bloodline routes he couldn't cross: the Dragon Clan, the Titan Giant, Technico Human Race.
The potential of these three races has been capped, so their future prospects are limited. Li Aoz intends to pursue the path of the Starcaller and has no need to pursue alien bloodlines.
Strictly speaking, the races of the Void and Demons are not even considered. The Void has an unstable evolutionary path that is extremely anti-realistic and defies the laws of physics. Who knows what it will evolve into? Some players have even found that when they follow the Void path and evolve, they turn around and realize: wow, they've lost their brains.
All demons, regardless of nationality or blood type, are essentially citizens of the Outer Society, Pergalai.
Demons are a powerful race that combines technology and magic. Every demon possesses great potential as Spellcasters. Even the lowest-ranking demons are born magicians. Why do I say that? Guess why magic is called magic?
There is a widely circulated saying that the civilization of demons existed first in the universe, and the means by which demons transformed and understood the world were called magic.
Long ago, Pergalai, as the leader of the Demon Civilization, was always happy to share magical knowledge. However, people also discovered that the Demon Civilization possessed powerful technological means and was a top civilization that could truly achieve both magic and science.
For some unknown reason, the seemingly thriving and polite Demon Civilization suddenly chose to evolve into a society, becoming the enemy of all civilizations.
However, Li Aoz really didn't want to be labeled a 'traitor to society,' as that label was too much and could make him a target of public criticism.
The concept of "Aoneng" is inherently contrary to the laws of physics. For example, Li Aoz's "gravity" only has an effect of 150G, but it can distort light through gravity to achieve invisibility.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of gravitational lensing knows that even a celestial body as massive as the sun can only deflect light by about 1°.
So why is he able to become invisible? Li Aoz really doesn't know.
One of the key characteristics of Aoneng is that although I don't know the principles behind Aoneng, I can still use it and achieve the desired effect. By the time I understand the principles behind my Aoneng, the world will be close to destruction.
Use it first, then learn about it.
The "Mastery" system is the opposite; one must first understand the concepts and objective theories before one can unleash the effects of each skill. However, this approach is also universal and replicable, making it more suitable for widespread dissemination to a broad audience.
This is about understanding first, then applying.
For this very reason, any Aoneng that is not at the Alpha-class is simply too shallow to tap into any potential—otherwise, the potential of almost all Aoneng can be said to be limitless.
Zeta-class [Physical Enhancement] is only so-so, and this Aoneng is quite common. Upgrading it with gene fragments is too costly... and the subsequent paths are also rather ordinary.
Its source is definitely Sequence Eighty-Two, Bloodline. Without a doubt, this Aoneng belongs exclusively to the Conqueror. There are even more powerful ones on the path of the Starcaller.
