Chapter 336: Origin of Species

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[About 40 years ago, 1 launched a formula project for the Ancient Genetic Recovery Project and successfully obtained enough funds.]

[1 have to admit that our culture of always having a positive evaluation of archaeological behavior is very effective. It allowed me to start this plan without much effort.]

[In name, my project is to preserve and restore those extinct genes, but in fact, I’m searching for the secrets in these genes.]

[I’ve analyzed more than 200,000 genetic samples of lifeforms from different civilizations, races, species, and even different cosmic eras, but I still have no clue.]

[In the final stage of the project, I chose to mix all the genetic samples together and let them settle naturally.]

[There’s no lack of precious ancient samples that are still alive, but for the sake of the truth, everything is worth it.]

[The miracle didn’t let me down. It still came.]

[After the scattered genetic samples were mixed, without any external force, they seemed to have spontaneously combined as if they were alive.]

[This stage lasted for five years. After a series of complicated changes, those genetic samples were magically arranged into a genetic sequence.]

[The legendary God of Creation seems to be about to appear in front of me. If it were you, would you not investigate to the end?]

[However, my act of causing certain genes to be lost forever is still against the law. 1 will face prosecution and at least five years of imprisonment.]

[However, the heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. 1 took the risk of increasing my sins and secretly obtained a genetic sample of the Firechaser from the Biochemical Weapon Research Institute.]

[This place is developing chemical weapons to deal with the Firechaser. Only here can there be genetic samples of that ancient species.]

[Through comparison, I finally confirmed that the genetic sequence that was mixed was completely identical to a certain section on the Firechaser.]

[What does this mean? It means that the origin of all our lives comes from this ancient civilization.]

[After the genes in their bodies were separated and combined, they became us.]

[They are like a huge gene bank. Countless samples of life are stored in their bodies. As long as they want to, they can resurrect a species that has already died.]

[To a genetic scholar like me, the Firechaser is already equivalent to the God of Creation. All of us should be their subjects, their descendants, and their successors.]

[Since Gods are right beside us, what’s so impossible about becoming Gods?]

[This galaxy is entering darkness. For this, a new God is needed to lead the people out of this place… And 1 will become the founder of a new era.]

So much for the records in the dilapidated journal, and the Solar Engineer discovered a startling secret.

It was also at this moment that a scientist who also specialized in genetics arrived. His eyes were filled with curiosity. When he saw the Solar Engineer, he asked with great interest, “Hey buddy, do you also want to explore the mysteries of genetics? I knew that no one would be uninterested in their body. This was once the famous scientist, Forster…”

His companion behind him was telling him stories related to this laboratory, but he quietly stuffed the diary into the compartment of his protective suit.

When he turned around again, he had become an engineer who was suddenly interested in genetics. Although there were changes, he would not attract attention.

The exploration of the scientific research area came to an end just like that. The area that was supposed to be related to this Homeship was not discovered after a thorough search, which puzzled the expedition.

However, the exploration still needed to continue. They could not stay here for too long. After searching for a long time to no avail, they continued to the next area.

The Solar Engineer was also on the team, but there was a potion that could attract the translucent plants in his personal items.

While Lightchaser was still searching for a solution to the Firechaser problem, Li Wenyuan was also constantly analyzing all the information related to the Firechaser that the Lightchaser had sent over.

There were some things that the Lightchaser Civilization could not do on its own, so he had to deal with them himself.

The most important point was the calculation of parameters related to dimensions. The parameters used to help the Ether Dragon adapt to this place might not be applicable to plant lifeforms like the Firechaser. They might need to be re-established.

Calculating this kind of data was not a problem for him at all. He still needed to rely on the data from the Lightchaser for analysis. However, the space over there could not warp, so the efficiency of many things was not high in his opinion.

Helpless, he could only pass the time and continue to save all the historical information preserved by the Lightchaser Civilization in the Cradle Galaxy bit by bit in his own database.

It was already his habit to record the history of civilizations wherever he went. Although he had never been to the Cradle Galaxy, having the Lightchaser Civilization there was equivalent to him personally arriving.

During this process, he would also learn about the history of those civilizations and various major events. He would treat it as reading a history book of the universe.

As more and more history was read, Li Wenyuan gradually discovered something unexpected.

“…What about the theory of evolution?”

When he looked at this historical information, he would usually first look at the great people in the history of civilization. Through those books, he could roughly determine how the technological change of this civilization was.

However, this time, he did not find any evolutionary theory that was closely related to the origin of species in the history of these civilizations.

Even though the theory of evolution might not be the utmost truth, and not all lifeforms would grow according to the rules of evolution, it was undoubtedly extremely abnormal that there were no theories related to evolution in an entire galaxy.

It was impossible for intelligent lifeforms not to pay attention to the origin of life. Even artificial intelligence would pursue the possibility of their appearance, let alone organic lifeforms.

Even if they didn’t realize the origin of their bodies, they would still realize that lifeforms were evolving from their interaction with their surroundings.

In the end, Li Wenyuan discovered that the popularity here was a unique origin theory bestowed by the heavens.

The civilizations in the Cradle Galaxy believed that all species on the planet had existed since the birth of the planet.

Primitive organic matter was continuously assembled and arranged in the natural disaster-like planetary environment, forming an organic block that contained a large number of genes. As the planet cooled and the environment changed, it turned into a pot of organic soup. Then, after a series of complicated reactions, this pot of organic soup directly formed species.

In their theory, the more complicated the species, the later it would form. The simplest single-celled lifeforms were the first to form, and as the most complicated and advanced species, they were the last to form.

According to the inexplicable calculations of these scholars, their birth consumed 99.8% of the mass of the organic soup, while the rest of life consumed only 0.2% of the mass.

They even linked it to the birth of a celestial body because almost all the stars in the galaxy accounted for more than 99% of the total mass of the entire galaxy. This was similar to the mass ratio of the organic soup that they had calculated as the most important lifeforms on the planet.

After many more verifications, Li Wenyuan finally realized that genetics was actually categorized as Gods in the Cradle Galaxy. Even if biology required a lot of genetics, these two theories were separate.

“It’s impossible for Planet Gaia itself to cause such a situation, at least not in the Milky Way… The Planet Gaia here was modified by the Firechaser. Could it be that… The Firechaser’s Planet Gaia is actually very different from the ordinary Planet Gaia?”

For no reason, Li Wenyuan suddenly thought of a technology that he had never used before—the Bao Gaia Seeder.

This was a technology used to transform ordinary planets into Planet Gaia. However, because he had the complete replacement of the circular world, he had never used this technology.

From the looks of it, perhaps the Firechaser’s method of modifying Planet Gaia was completely different from what he had imagined.

This method could even reverse the origin of species there..
