020 Perfect Mutation!

After comparing them, Li Aoz felt that the passive effect of [Mountains Armor] was better.

After all, no one would complain about having too little mana; Free-Floating Elements are the most abundant thing in the universe.

Putting aside other Hydrogen Element, Helium Element are found everywhere in the universe.

Battles in the universe often last for years, or even decades or centuries. During such a long period, who has time to replenish supplies? The strong can only rely on their own slow refinement of cosmic energy.

Not to mention, if it really turns into a protracted war, it would be even more agonizing.

Li Aoz thought about it for a moment. He had the mutation option of "Iron Stomach", but the thought that he was already in space and still had to eat asteroids to regain blue energy was too embarrassing.

The impact on morale is immeasurable.

As for [Mountains Armor]... this Aoneng is obviously related to Magic Side.

Many of the Aoneng that have been awakened this time are related to magic and dragons. Li Aoz probably thinks it's because he added magical materials to his Biochemical Pool.

This is a good thing, after all, when it comes to biodiversity, who can compare to Magic Civilization?

You have chosen [Mountains Armor]

[Gene Fragments has been attached]

[Due to the influence of Aoneng, your Gene Load has increased]

Li Aoz's lifespan has been extended considerably after the restoration through the slumber of the [Blood of Immortality], so accommodating a few more wouldn't be a problem.

As the Aura Awakening was completed, Gene Fragments were attached to the sequence. Li Aoz's pale skin gradually gained some human color, and his temperament became more calm and dignified. He took deep breaths and could clearly feel that his respiratory system had improved significantly. Free-Floating Elements in the air entered his body through breathing, were converted into energy, and subtly affected his body.

That's a good thing.

The [Dominator] class is the only one that doesn't value bloodline, because theoretically they can use all excellent bloodline factors for their own purposes. Even if you start as a slime, joining the [Mutant] class could eventually turn you into a world-destroying, battle-hardened slime.

The human race that Li Aoz currently belongs to on the Tech Side is New Generation Homo Sapiens, with average potential, but they can evolve towards the three Cosmic Human Race of A1, B2, and C3—which is quite interesting.

A1 has a long lifespan, B2 is intelligent, and C3 is a good fighter.

In particular, the C3 Luca-type Cosmic Human Race, known in the universe as the 'terrifying upright ape among terrifying upright apes,' possesses extremely ferocious war potential and almost single-handedly dispelled the stereotype that Cosmic Human Race are adept at warfare.

Civilizations love to recruit a portion of C3 humans, as they are useful and capable fighters, making them ideal as pioneers and mercenaries, as if they were born to colonize and expand.

For his own reasons, Li Aoz did not intend to evolve into C3 Luca-type Cosmic Human Race. The Racial Talent of the New Generation Homo Sapiens was an experience bonus, which was quite useful, and he could not find a more suitable one for the time being.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll have to find the answer to how our race will evolve in the future by venturing into the universe."

Li Aoz stretched, and the system quickly popped up a new interface: [Warning: Gene Sequence unstable!]

You have experienced a Benign Mutation; Gene Fragments integration is underway...

Your superior genetic traits are evident; please choose one direction from the following groups of mutant traits.

Li Aoz glanced at them and saw that none of them were perfect mutations, so he directly chose to use the one-time mutation option for a perfect reset.

[Reset complete]

[To show you, Perfect and Flawless genetic engineering:]

A – [Gene Grafting Enhancement Ability Pod]: Foreign genes are further absorbed and received by you, and the original Ability Pod is further enhanced. You can now combine multiple stored Aoneng simultaneously before releasing them.

If you choose to retain this trait, your Ability Pod's maximum Aoneng storage capacity will be increased to 22.

B— [Gene Editing·Reproductive System Ex vivo]: Re-editing genes to specifically modify all your cells. All your cells can now be transformed into reproductive cells. It's time to create a race that belongs only to you.

If you choose to retain this trait, your biological sex will be transformed into 'everything,' meaning any creature of any sex can court you.

C - [Gene Splicing · Combat Race Factor]: Composed of two terrifying genes from invaders, you will gain the memory of your ancestors as invaders who slaughtered, annexed, and integrated other races, and gain powerful Combat Power. Your genes will have a stronger aggressive and polluting nature.

By choosing to retain this trait, you can Gene Pollution any other organism during pregnancy, causing it to give birth to offspring that are absolutely loyal to you.

"Oh ho!"

Li Aoz's eyes lit up.

These three perfect mutations are incredibly powerful, especially the latter two, which perfectly demonstrate the selfishness of genes and their desire to perpetuate themselves.

With the combination of the "Reproductive System Exposed" and "Charm" attributes, Li Aoz could become a cosmic socialite, completely abandoning all labor, acquiring the genes of powerful individuals from all over the world, and then mass-producing racial legions.

Does this sound familiar? That's right, Li Aoz is certain that this is the essence of succubus.

"It's a real shame, I still don't want my child to go to the battlefield and die."

As for the [Battle Race Factor], this mutation option undoubtedly reveals the essence of ethnic expansion and aggression—killing all the men of a race, leaving the women alive, and perpetuating a bloodline and factors full of evil.

Every civilization rises in this way; powerful empires are never clean. But conversely, precisely because of this, every living person today can trace their origins back to a powerful paternal ancestor, laying the foundation for the unity and solidarity of human civilization.

The winner takes all, and the loser is condemned; in the universe, this competition is only more brutal.

However, with the progress of civilization and consciousness, people have gradually been able to suppress their genetic instincts and choose to replace war with competition.

Of course, the [Battle Race Factor] is of little use in improving Li Aoz's Combat Power.

That's the potential of the races on Azure Planet. There's nothing shameful about it. Races that can't enter the universe through independent research and development simply don't have potential. Don't be unconvinced; this is an irrefutable rule of the universe. Some civilizations have managed to build rockets out of springs and planks and send them into space, while others are still throwing stones at each other to boil water—the latter kind of races simply don't have the universally recognized 'potential'.

For genes, consciousness and the body are unimportant; as long as the tasks of reproduction and transmission can be accomplished, anything goes. Therefore, the latter two mutation options are undoubtedly the most perfect.

But as a natural person, Li Aoz is not satisfied with merely becoming a genetically manipulated 'bio-mechanical machine'.

[Gene grafting complete]

Your [Ability Pod] has been upgraded.

Just as Li Aoz completed his mutation option, the land of Gurant was already within reach.

The prototype of the "Mutant" comes from a book called "The Selfish Gene," which contains many interesting viewpoints. You can check it out.

In addition, new players will be joining soon. If you'd like to participate, try your luck in the comments section, you might just get selected.
