Gene Collapse had countless possible forms, and their number grew every year. The more advanced a civilization's augmentation technology, the more so.
Just as no medicine could cure every virus, no method could permanently cure every form of Gene Collapse once and for all.
Newly emerging types of Gene Collapse required at least a 1-star physician to analyze them and arrive at a solution through technology, inspiration, and a bit of luck.
But even the strongest known 8-star physician could not guarantee they could resolve an unknown Gene Collapse. The stronger the doctor, the greater the chance of solving it—that was all.
As the price of highly advanced life sciences, no one in modern advanced civilizations died of old age. They were either killed or died from Gene Collapse.
The more powerful someone was, and the older they became, the more prone they were to Gene Collapse.
The current Shacha Civilization Emperor was already thirty-three thousand years old. He looked young and powerful, but in truth, he had reached the point where Gene Collapse could erupt at any moment, every single day.
No one knew when it would become beyond saving.
So Si Pike was truly gambling with his life. If luck was against him and the doctors could not decipher his collapse in time, he would die.
However, Huang Ji was probably the only doctor in the universe capable of curing every form of Gene Collapse.
Because every Gene Collapse had a solution, and those solutions were faithfully displayed in the information.
"Mr. Han Bi, the doctor you know has an extraordinarily ingenious mind. His skill is practically miraculous." The resident doctor in the flying hospital stared in amazement at the treatment plan Han Bi had sent over.
Han Bi asked, "Is this plan viable?"
The station doctor smiled.
