The Yan God Clan, Yan Ning

Human Territory.

In an unknown secret realm, everything was an empty void.

A fiery-red figure drifted through the void.

The figure was enormous, standing four or five hundred meters tall. A single horn jutted from his forehead, his entire body was fiery red, and he wore a suit of battle armor.

He drifted through this space, with no idea how long he had been floating.

Suddenly, the figure's eyelids twitched, and then slowly opened.

"Where... am I?"

The voice came from the giant's mouth. He seemed a little slow to react.

"Wasn't I dead? How did I end up here? Where... is this?"

Looking around instinctively, Yan Ning was at a loss. He clearly remembered that a moment ago, he'd been hit by a car. How did it feel like he'd only taken a nap?

And yet he'd ended up in this lightless place.

"Could this be the legendary underworld?"

Yan Ning murmured instinctively.

The next moment, an enormous flood of memories rushed into his mind.

He instinctively clutched his head and closed his eyes.

The memories were immense, seemingly spanning endless eras, and left him feeling disoriented.

A short while later, he finally absorbed the massive flood of memories completely.

"So... I've transmigrated?"

Only then did Yan Ning realize that he had transmigrated.

Human Race, Virtual Universe Company, first place in the Genius War, Yan God Clan!

Heavens, he had actually transmigrated into someone from the Yan God Clan.

But it seemed that the Yan God Clan hadn't yet left the Human Race.

He took some time to sort through his thoughts.

Well, the body he'd transmigrated into was also called Yan Ning. He was a genius of the Yan God Clan and had once placed first in that year's Virtual Universe Company's Genius War.

He'd entered the Original Secret Realm, cultivated painstakingly for tens of thousands of years, then broken through to immortality and ventured into the Outer Domain Battlefield.

As a genius of the Yan God Clan, he'd become a Sealed King Undying as soon as he broke through, thanks in part to his Yan God Clan talent.

Which was, in fact, his body.

After transmigrating, he had carefully analyzed the memories.

To his surprise, he discovered that the Yan God Clan's bodies seemed to differ from those of ordinary lifeforms in the Primal Universe.

The Yan God Clan's genes could evolve as their owners grew stronger.

And the original owner, the former Yan Ning, had already evolved five times. He was a super-genius.

His Gene Level was 48 times that of an ordinary lifeform in the universe!

This ability to evolve one's genes reminded him of the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex.

That secret technique could be cultivated by only one person in the entire Primal Universe!

In the original story, Luo Feng's success had relied heavily on the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex.

The Yan God Clan's talent was practically identical to the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex!

No wonder. The Yan God Clan had been created by Sitting Mountain Guest, after all. It wouldn't make sense for them not to have some special talent.

The original story had made it perfectly clear: the Earth Human Lineage excelled at the soul, while the Yan God Clan excelled at the body!

So that was what it meant.

They were born with the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex!

That alone made the Yan God Clan one of the strongest races in the Primal Universe!

Of course, not every member of the Yan God Clan could continuously evolve their genes. That depended on their talent, too.

According to the original owner's memories, aside from Emperor Yan, no one in the Yan God Clan had broken through the limit of a hundredfold Gene Multiplier.

That meant evolving seven times and pushing their Gene Multiplier past 192 times.

Most people couldn't even manage a third evolution in their entire lives.

The original owner had evolved five times. No wonder he was considered a genius among the Yan God Clan.

Yan Ning had just broken through to immortality and immediately reached the Sealed King level. With the General Armor's power, which was equivalent to ten thousand times the power of a Peak World Lord, plus the Blood Luo Force—

His combat strength had been close to the Peak King level!

Unfortunately, his luck had been terrible.

Not long after arriving at the Outer Domain Battlefield, he'd run into a Demon Sealed King Invincible.

The original owner had been severely wounded. He'd burned his divine power and fought desperately to escape, barely managing to get away.

But the strain on his body had been so severe that he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke again, it was now, in his current body as Yan Ning.

Still... this wasn't so bad!

He'd long been sick of the miserable grind of his daily life as a corporate drone back on Earth. Transmigrating to this world was about as good as it got.

Besides, his starting position was practically unbeatable.

He'd started out as a Marquis Immortal! With endless life!

If he didn't want to die, he could live until the Primal Universe was destroyed!

"All right, I should get out of here first. Who knows where I've drifted to. Am I still in Human Territory?"

He reached out to his Divine Kingdom with his consciousness. The next moment, the Divine Kingdom, who knew how many light-years away, responded, and a gate of light opened before him.

He stepped through.

He used Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

He planned to teleport straight to Human Territory. So many years had passed; he had no idea what things were like now.

Divine Kingdom Teleportation was a gift from the Primal Universe to every lifeform that broke through to immortality.

No matter how far away the destination was, as long as one had its Divine Kingdom Coordinate, they could reach it directly through Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

It was by far the best way to travel long distances.

Of course, using Divine Kingdom Teleportation took a fair amount of energy. But compared to Yan Ning's five-hundred-meter-tall divine body, the cost was negligible.

Yan Ning stepped out of the Divine Kingdom Teleportation passage. Endless stars surrounded him, and the light of distant stars dotted the dark universe.

"Is this... the Noah Universe Kingdom?"

He looked around, quickly searching through the original owner's memories to confirm his location.

The Noah Universe Kingdom, one of the 1,008 High-level Universe Countries within Human Territory, wasn't too far from the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, the Primordial Universe.

"Good. I'm still in Human Territory."

Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

He had recovered considerably, but the Peak King from the Demon Clan had dealt him a grievous wound, and he'd lost a great deal of divine power. He needed time to recover.

Besides, he was still a Primal Secret Region Member of the Virtual Universe Company. Now that he'd returned to Human Territory, he naturally had to report in first.

"First, I'll contact the Virtual Universe Company."

Yan Ning's thoughts stirred, and his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe Network.

The Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Primal Region.

As the former champion of the Genius War, Yan Ning had extremely high clearance within the Virtual Universe Company. The moment he logged in, he received a flood of accumulated emails and messages.

"Hm? So many emails and messages. Just how long was I gone?"

Yan Ning furrowed his brow.

It seemed he'd been asleep even longer than he had imagined.

"Did the Virtual Universe Company really not declare me dead?"

He was surprised.

Generally speaking, if an Undying went missing for a long time, the Virtual Universe Company would assume they had perished and revoke some of their privileges.

But Yan Ning's account still retained its Primal Secret Region Member status. He even had several emails urging him to return.

"Looks like the Virtual Universe Company still thinks highly of me."

Yan Ning's lips curled into a faint smile.

He casually opened a few emails. One was from a high-ranking official at the Virtual Universe Company.

"Yan Ning, if you are still alive, return to the company at once and report in. There have been recent developments within the Yan God Clan. Emperor Yan is suspected of having contacted the Mechanical Clan. The company needs your information."

"Emperor Yan?"

Yan Ning's gaze sharpened.

In the original story, Emperor Yan had eventually betrayed humanity, leading the Yan God Clan out of the Human Race and setting up on his own.

Could it be that—

He immediately began searching for information through the Virtual Universe.

As expected, he couldn't find anything!

Could it be that, during all the years he'd been asleep, the Yan God Clan had already left the Human Race?
