Countless extradimensional insect beasts attacked Earth, and human researchers discovered that they could strip away and fuse the genes of these insect beasts to strengthen themselves… Yet an anomaly appeared during this process.
Everyone else obtained ordinary insect-beast genes, but he obtained mythical genes that no one else possessed.
Others received the Wind Demon Gene of the Wind Demon Insect, allowing them to slash out two-meter-long sword beams… Zhou Lin looked at his Sword God Gene, which came from Ximen Chuixue, and lightly swung his sword. Sword energy stretched for ten thousand miles, sweeping across the mountains and rivers!
Others received the Herculean Gene of the Mighty Insect, allowing them to shatter boulders with one punch… Zhou Lin looked at his Battle Gene, which came from Sun Wukong, transformed it into a Ruyi Staff, pierced the firmament, and struck straight into the nest of the extradimensional insect beasts!
Others received the Lightning Gene of the Thunder Insect, which could charge a flashlight… Zhou Lin looked at the God Gene he had obtained from Zeus and snapped his fingers lightly. Clear skies stretched for ten thousand miles before thunder boomed, and countless bolts of lightning descended from the heavens!
While everyone else was still questioning why Zhou Lin was so powerful, he could only stammer out an explanation: “Maybe I ate too much genetically modified rice when I was little, causing my genes to mutate rather severely now!”
(Do not ask why Ximen Chuixue has a mythical gene. That is simply how this novel is written. First, Ximen Chuixue is not a mythical figure but an ordinary person. Second, the mythical gene does not come from Ximen Chuixue, but from his swordsmanship, which is comparable to myth. He is also the only non-mythical figure to possess a mythical gene.)
I find Ximen Chuixue's genes to be a really unsettling point. They say it's a mythological gene, but is Ximen Chuixue a mythological figure?
Chapter One: Classic Taunting; The Bystander's Perspective is Always on the Protagonist; Taunting Buff Maxed Out
Looking at the title, I suddenly remembered Super Gene from a few years ago. It's really nostalgic. Although the book was a flop, the subject matter still feels very novel when I think back on it now. I'm getting off-topic. I hope the author of this book can keep it up!
What kind of mythological genes does Ximen Chuixue possess?
After reading the introduction, I'd already finished the book. It's not the introduction that's the problem; it's just that the formula is too old-fashioned.
Ximen Chuixue: Don't drag me into your bragging.
Whether Ximen Chuixue is at the mythical level or not is another matter, but his genes allow him to use sword energy? Is he out of his mind? You'd be more likely to say his genes have a bonus to sword-learning aptitude.
The author went to great lengths to create conflict, but he probably didn't even know how Rome fell. Such a vast empire disintegrated due to insufficient citizens, and your family, which needs to continue its lineage, dares to resort to a system of elimination and purge? I'm afraid that in a few generations, the entire bloodline will be replaced... I can't stand it anymore... I'm outta here... Good luck, author!
Regarding the mythical genes of Ximen Chuixue
I've seen some discussion in the comments section about whether Ximen Chuixue's genes are truly mythological. To put it simply, Ximen Chuixue is probably the least mythological of all the characters. Why did I write this? Firstly, the premise is that the protagonist's sword god gene doesn't actually come from Ximen Chuixue himself, but from his divine swordsmanship. This is explained in the novel.
Can you go a little further...? Are Sun Wukong and the staff two separate entities, one that transforms into another...? Does he transform using his tail?
