The five-piece individual combat package Nie Yun had tailored for humanity covered offense, defense, speed, intelligence, and physique!
The first four already had preliminary enhancement equipment: the Blazing Flame sword! The Heroic Armor! The Silver Shuttle! The Brain Chip! Together, these could instantly turn an ordinary person into a miniature superhuman!
Only physique remained!
Gene Reversal was one of the physique projects Nie Yun had recently been tackling! Its ultimate goal was to keep the modified subject's body in peak condition forever. It could also be called-immortality!
The mysteries of the human body were as vast as an ocean. In terms of technical sophistication, the Brain Chip and Gene Reversal, both enhancements to the human body, actually far surpassed even the Super Sea Wolf!
The breakthroughs he had made were entirely thanks to the "Nie Yun-brand human model" he had automatically acquired after merging with the Mechanical Insects!
After observing and analyzing it over this period, he had finally identified the gene segments that controlled aging in his body, along with their operating mechanisms.
He discovered that every time his cells divided, certain gene segments induced deliberate damage to their own DNA. As that damage accumulated, the cells' metabolism slowed, and the number of divisions they had left decreased!
This was why ordinary human cells could only divide around fifty to sixty times, and it was also the key to human growth and aging!
Nie Yun called these dominant gene segments the aging gene!
He first tried cutting out the aging gene outright, but to his surprise, this gene segment was also an indispensable part of cell division!
Cells without the aging gene could no longer divide at all! He had no choice but to abandon that approach!
The other approach was what Nie Yun had just done: reverse-modifying this
