The weather was cold, with a light rain falling.

In a certain city, outside the Provincial Tumor Center Hospital, Ye Wen walked out with despair in his steps.

He let the rain drench him, and also soak the report in his hand.

In Ye Wen's hand was the diagnosis from the Provincial Tumor Center HospitalLung Cancer, late stage!

Ye Wen had just graduated from a prestigious university and joined a large company that his friends and family envied.

Because the company's pre-employment physical examination found abnormalities in his lungs, suspected to be Lung Cancer. For the past few days, Ye Wen had been rushing between major hospitals, undergoing detailed examinations.

Until today, three Class A hospitals had all diagnosed him with late-stage Lung Cancer.

Especially the confirmation from this Provincial Tumor Center Hospital completely destroyed Ye Wen's last shred of hope.

Ye Wen didn't even know how he got home.

Every time he thought of late-stage cancer patients, emaciated to the bone, slowly dying in despair and pain.

Ye Wen became extremely scared, he was terrified of dying such a painful death!

"Why? Heaven, why are you so unfair? I, Ye Wen, have never done anything evil in my life, why must you punish me like this? My wonderful life has just begun!"

He couldn't help but cry out loudly, screaming hysterically!

"No!!!"

He finally sat by the window helplessly, looking at the starry sky, his mind filled with the despair of a broken heart.

So he left a suicide note for his parents and went to the Yangtze River Bridge alone.

Looking at the rushing floodwaters below the bridge, and then at the city he had lived in, Ye Wen jumped without hesitation.

Just as he fell into the water, Ye Wen's vision suddenly went black, and he completely fainted.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a lush green forest.

The trees here were probably so large that it would take at least ten adults to encircle them.

Birds sang, flowers bloomed, insects chirped melodiously, the scenery was incredibly beautiful.

"Is this paradise? It's so beautiful!"

Ye Wen couldn't help but exclaim!

Suddenly, a voice appeared in Ye Wen's mind.

"This is not paradise, this is the former Ancestral Star."

The sudden voice startled Ye Wen. He looked around but found nothing unusual.

"Stop looking, I am in the depths of your consciousness!"

After the voice spoke again, Ye Wen realized that the voice seemed to bypass his ears and directly appeared in his brain.

"Who? Who is speaking?"

"I am a piece of inherited memory, and also a key, a key that can unlock the secrets of your body!"

Ye Wen was confused. I'm not dead, what body do I still have?

"No! You are not dead, I have merely teleported you back to the former mother planet.

Because your cancer cells have broken the seal that bound us.

Thus, just as you were about to die, you awakened me."

Ye Wen was shocked!

"I'm not dead? I'm still alive?"

"Yes, the humans on Earth originated from the Hongmeng Human Race. We were jointly slaughtered by other supreme races, and all the experts within our race were exterminated.

In the end, only some ordinary people were left, and they were exiled to the spirit-deprived planet Earth. They stimulated the planet to release Poison Gas—Oxygen!"

Hearing this, Ye Wen was greatly astonished. Was he dreaming?

Was this a dream before death?

How could Oxygen be Poison Gas?

And cancer cells could break seals?

"In the past, our race's physical bodies were coveted and envied by many other races.

We could absorb Spiritual Qi from the air without eating anything, and we would grow, grow infinitely.

Therefore, this also brought about the disaster of our race's extermination.

They placed the remaining humans on a spirit-deprived planet for research.

On a planet without Spiritual Qi, to make it suitable for life, they stimulated the planet to release Oxygen.

Oxygen pollutes all pure substances, including the human body.

This caused our bodies not only to be unable to become infinitely powerful but also to live only for a few decades."

Then they would be stimulated by Oxygen, completely lose vitality, and thus head towards death.

However, the powerful instincts of the Human Race would drive some individuals with exceptionally high aptitude to mutate their cells, breaking the rule of dying after 50 divisions!

These are what you now call cancer cells.

Cancer cells are a characteristic of devolution, allowing you to be like the ancestors in the Ancestral Star. Cells divide infinitely, and without external interference, they achieve immortality!

But Oxygen simply cannot provide the energy required for cancer cells to evolve!

This leads to cancer cells dividing infinitely and uncontrollably. This is also why they felt at ease placing the Human Race on a spirit-deprived planet.

Even if mutations occurred, they would instead be stimulated by Oxygen to divide rapidly and infinitely, leading to the body's death!

You must quickly gain control of the chaotically dividing cancer cells on the Ancestral Star.

And find the first generation of Pre-cancerous Cells within your body, allowing them to help you break through the limitations of your entire body and grow stronger, to save our kin on the spirit-deprived planet!

I have used my last bit of strength to awaken your memories of the Ancestral Star's language and writing.

And I have imprinted our Human Race's most crucial Cultivation Method, the Endless Sacred Dao Scripture, deep within your soul.

I will now fall into slumber.

Perhaps if you awaken more Pre-cancerous Cells in the future, I will awaken as well.
