019. Bloodline Fluctuations

  【strug Gene Sequence…】

  Lag knowledge in fields like "Pharmaetics," Li Aozi was already on his way to the Grand Duchy of Grant by the time the drug's effects began to take hold. The gene stru process was slow and sometimes even paused, much to Li Aozi's frustration.

  He treated it as a way to pass the boredom of the journey.

  However, the journey was not smooth for Li Aozi.

  First, the private phat Tianhuan promised was grounded due to a natural disaster.

  Fortunately, Tianhuan had prepared all the necessary dots. To avoid arousing suspi from Frost-Pted’s Law III agents, SCIA had him trao the neighb Republic of Sasko and take a train to bypass Frost-Pted aer the Western ti Wastend.

  The vast pteau was majestic but devoid of life. Li Aozi, with his strong stitution, was not afraid of altitude siess and hiked a few kilometers to meet SCIA agents. They provided him with an off-road vehicle loaded with supplies and a tourist visa to Grant.

  “This is your ride.”

  Li Aozi took the supply package, reversed gravity, and took off directly, flying at high speed over the outer nds.

  Driving couldn't pare to the speed of his flight.

  Then, Li Aozi entered two snow tornadoes on his jourhunder roared, winds howled, and the desote, barren nd stretched out endlessly. Li Aozi had to slow down and occasionally stop to create a sturdy gravitational sphere, securely anch himself to the ground.

  After finally waiting out the tornado, the magic field ges caused by the natural disaster rendered his navigation system useless.

  With Azure Star’s atmosphere blocked by Camity, there were no orbital satellites to help with positioning. Li Aozi had no choice but to rest where he was. Leaning against a mountai up a tent, brewed coffee, and took a break while browsing the pyer forums.

  With the beta test tdoroag, forum users had mostly figured out who the first wave of Azure Star settlers would be. Besides a few corporate units and military personnel, ahusiast had piled a detailed list of names.

  Sihe first wave of professional clubs was rather weak, Li Aozi didn’t pay attention to the usual professional pyers. Instead, he focused on the rge guilds and individual pyers, finding a few iing characters.

  Particurly intriguing was an indepe pyer with the ID "Caramel Snail." Acc to veteran forum users, this Caramel Snail was a plete newbie, with no traceable background.

  Li Aozi, however, was very familiar with this person. Caramel Snail was a fellow streamer who would bee a highly popur solo pyer, known for being a 【Twilight Sword Saint】 from the 【Destru】 specialization, holding the all-time record of 209 secutive PK victories in Star Abyss.

  Unlike Li Aozi's path as a 【Starfall Master】, the 【Twilight Sword Saint】 was a highly popur route, and Caramel Snail was sidered the top didate for achieving godhood in that path.

  However, like the 【Starfall Master】, this profession had its limitations and wasn't suitable for petitive py. In trast, other paths in the 【Destru】 specialization, like 【Demon Shura】, 【Extreme Martial Artist】, and 【Shadow Lord】, were on in tours.

  As a rare solo pyer, Caramel Snail quickly attracted attention. When someone on the forum asked which area he would choose to spawn in, he answered without hesitation:

  "Tianhuan. I love the csh of swords."

  Good, this kid had the right mi. Li Aozi found someone who shared his views, lifting his spirits.

  After the storm subsided, Li Aozi suddenly felt a premonition. He opened his palm, and cracks appeared in his skin, from which red-bck crystals began to grow.

  The system immediately popped up a series of prompts:

  【Iing Gene Sequence】

  【Eliminating Invalid Gene Fragments】

  【Replig Gene Fragments】

  【New Omega Energy Gene structed】

  Li Aozi rubbed his neck, admitting that his level was still a bit behind Abyss Humanitarian. At least their drugs worked quickly, while his took a full 40 hours.

  【Child of the Abyss, you have opened a new gateway to the path of domination.】

  【With just a slight mutation, you have gained new power, surprising indeed.】

  【Please choose one of the following as your subordinate Omega Energy】:

  A——【Body Enha】: Zeta-tier (ζ, the sixth Greek letter) Omega Energy, dual bes of 【stitution】 and 【Charisma】. You possess a body of steel, with muscles capable of withstanding ordinary bullets and releasing immense power.

  Omega Energy Maion:

  Active Activation—Muscle fibers across your body are strengthened and proliferated, your muscles bulge instantly, and your bones bee extremely hard (ten times the hardness of steel).

  Passive State—With each adva in tier, stitution +15, Maximum Health +100 permaly;

  “Iron bones, unyielding and uncorrupted.”

  B——【Electric Shock】: Alpha-tier (α, the first Greek letter) Omega Energy, single be of 【Charisma】. You link the peing cells in your body to produce a 30-volt charge, and that's it.

  Omega Energy Maion:

  Active Activation—Discharge, 30 volts, 0.2 milliamps, be tent.

  Passive State—Immuo paralysis caused by electric shocks.

  “e on, shake my hand.”

  C——【Rose Dragon Scales】: Kappa-tier (κ, the tenth Greek letter) Omega Energy, single be of 【Charisma】. You’ve ied certain genes into a dragon sequence, enhang your bloodliential. Dragon scales are just the beginning.

  Omega Energy Maion:

  Active Activation—Your body is covered with rose petal-like dragon scales, each scale as strong as stainless steel with 50 times the strength, capable of abs some thermal energy. When a scale sustains excessive impact, it will automatically shed.

  Passive State—Dragoic factors are embedded in yene sequence, gradually evolving your species towards the dragon race.

  D——【Armor of the Mountains】: Kappa-tier (κ, the tenth Greek letter) Omega Energy, single be of 【Charisma】. Yenes have uedly achieved a caster’s gene bination, drawing elemental power from the earth to form an iructible armor.

  Omega Energy Maion:

  Active Activation—es Omega Energy to summon a set of sturdy armor on your body.

  Passive State—You ow absorb elemental power from free space to restore Omega Energy.

  ——————————

  “Tsk, cheap things are never good.”

  Li Aozi muttered in frustration.

  The quality of these Omega Energies was mediocre at best; only 【Rose Dragon Scales】 and 【Armor of the Mountains】 were barely acceptable.

  The problem with 【Rose Dragon Scales】 was that it would modify the heo a certaient, iing dragon race factors.

  Everyone knows that even a tiny bit on blood makes one part of the dragon race.

  Within the dragon race, hierarchy is strict, with the upper css having absolute dominand bloodline trol over the lower css. Higher dragons even sense and trol the behavior and sciousness of lower dragons through bloodline e.

  Li Aozi didn’t want to gain a fatal weakness because of a mere Kappa-tier Omega Energy.

  Moreover, he khat the high dragon, Grina Waterswirl, was currently in Narrative Zone No. 10, so he dared not let his guard down.

  Although the dragon bloodline was extremely powerful, Li Aozi didn’t want to pursue that route.

  As a transmigrator, Li Aozi knew of three bloodline routes to avoid: dragons, Titans, and the Teites.

  The potential of these three races was already locked; there was little future in them. Li Aozi inteo pursue the 【Starfall Master】 path, with o chase after other racial bloodlines.

  Strictly speaking, the Void and Demon races were also out of sideration. The Void had an unstable evolutionary path, extremely trary to reality and physical ws. Who knew what one might evolve into? Some pyers even discovered that after taking the Void path, they turned around and found they no longer had a brain.

  All demons, regardless of nationality or purity, were essentially citizens of the Outer Realm Society of Pergay.

  Demons were a powerful race with both teology and magid each demon had immense casting potential. Even the weakest demon was a born mage. Why is that?

  Why do you think magic is called magic?

  A widely circuted theory suggests that demohe first civilization in the universe, and the way they transformed and uood the world was called magic.

  Long ago, Pergay, as the leader of the demon civilization, was happy to share magical knowledge. But people also discovered that the demon civilization had advaeological means, making them a top-tier civilization capable of dual cultivation in both magid sce.

  For unknown reasons, this ohriving and courteous demon civilization suddenly chose to asd to society, being the enemy of all other civilizations.

  Li Aozi had no desire to be branded as a “traitor to society.” That bel was too heavy and would make him a target for everyone.

  Omega Energy already defied physical on sense. For example, Li Aozi’s 【Gravity】, with only 150G of effect, could bend light and achieve invisibility.

  Anyone who uood gravitational lenses khat even a massive celestial body like the sun could only deflect light by about 1°.

  So how could he bee invisible? Li Aozi really didn’t know.

  One major characteristiega Energy is: even if I don’t know the principle behind it, I still use it, and it produces this effect. And by the time I uand my Omega Energy’s principle, the world will be on the brink of destru.

  Use it first, uand it ter.

  The 【Craft】 specialization was the exact opposite. You had to grasp the underlying cepts and objective theories first before you could release one skill after another. But this behavior had universality and replicability, making it more suitable for widespread dissemination.

  This belongs to the "uand first, use ter" approach.

  For this reason, unless it's Alpha-tier, Omega Energies are too shallow and y real potential—almost all Omega Energies, aside from this, be said to have limitless potential.

  The Zeta-tier 【Body Enha】 was just okay, and this Omega Energy was on enough to be sidered mundane. Upgrading it with gene fragments would be costly… and its future path was quite average.

  Its in was definitely Sequence 82: 【Bloodline】. o think about it; this Omega Energy was exclusive to 【queror】, and the 【Starfall Master】 path had something even more powerful.

  —Sequence 6: 【Strength】.
