Deep beneath Antarctica, Long Bixian had found a peculiar virus. What made it peculiar was its ability to
alter a creature's DNA and accelerate evolution.
When Fang Yinglong learned of this, he invited Long Bixian to join him, offering to "cure your daughter's terminal illness." Others who joined
included Tang Xintian's father and
Long Tianfeng's father.
As research into the virus progressed, humanity's biotechnology advanced rapidly as well. But in the end, Fang Yinglong's health still failed
him. He had not managed to treat his own
terminal illness in time. The others had suggested cloning his body and transferring his brain into it, to see whether that could sustain
him, but he had rejected that option.
His choice... had been to connect his brain directly to a supercomputer. Having abandoned his body, Fang Yinglong
researched the virus like a man possessed.
Before he died, he preserved his genetic material, his DNA, and found a healthy woman to
artificially inseminate. The child eventually
born was Fang Yuxuan.
Because Fang Yinglong's own genes were flawed, when he preserved his DNA, he also
extracted DNA from another woman's
body and combined them. In truth, Fang Yuxuan had two biological mothers and one father.
At that point, someone copied his DNA, cloned several other versions of Fang Yuxuan, and released them into the
world, hoping to see whether
another exceptional individual like Fang Yinglong might emerge from these clones. That person... was Fang Yinglong's brother.
Unfortunately for him, once this matter
came to light, he was eliminated. The clones, however, survived unharmed.
Afterward, to protect Fang Yuxuan, Fang Yinglong concealed his identity and entrusted him to a paternal cousin who was originally a distant
relative of his family.
The reason Long Tianfeng treated Fang Yuxuan so well was that he knew perfectly well that
