• Yuan told Li Ze that cultivation at high realms depended on comprehending Dao, and that integrating the Myriad Daos into one’s genes could make the body indestructible and immortal.
• Yuan recounted how factions researched the Gene Dao Source Diagram after discovering it in the Eternal Star Ring, but every lifeform who altered their genetic framework died, leading to a ban on the practice.
• Yuan said the failures likely resulted from the researchers’ genes being unable to bear the Daos and from their having comprehended too few Daos.
• Yuan explained that Li Ze’s limit-breaking Gene Level, Inner Universe, and ability to comprehend and fuse the Myriad Daos made him unusually suited to the path.
• Yuan warned Li Ze that he must thoroughly comprehend all 10,081 Gene Dao Source Diagrams and fuse them together before he could embark on the path.

Li Ze comprehended all 10,081 Gene Dao Source Diagrams and fused them within his Inner Universe, causing a powerful cultivation path to begin emerging. An unknown pressure from the Origin Source of the Infinite Source Space nearly shattered the fused diagram, but the Chaos Bell protected it and Li Ze.

• The fused diagram began evolving and drew an immense pressure from the Infinite Source Space that cracked it and overwhelmed Li Ze.
• The Chaos Bell appeared and shielded Li Ze and the diagram, causing the mysterious pressure to vanish.

• As Li Ze meditated inside the Source World, his complete comprehension triggered an unprompted transformation of his genes, and his physical body began approaching the Origin Lord Level.
