Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1076 - 428: Genetic Inheritance Information_2

"Right now, the pheromones in your genes are affecting your subconscious, forcing you to instinctively search for ways to evolve without realizing it."

"Once one of your attributes hits 50 points, you'll automatically sense the presence of Genetic Species and learn how to extract them. This comes from a deep-seated memory in your genes, passed down through endless generations."

"It's similar to how a kitten instinctively hunts mice from the moment it's born, without any lessons; that's the innate knowledge embedded in the genes."

"You aren't aware of this? Maybe your Four Major Attributes haven't hit 50 points yet?"

Qiu Gongrong appeared stunned, full of disbelief.

Liang Yuan grew wary right away. His Four Major Attributes had surpassed 50 points ages ago, yet he'd never encountered any such gene memory.

"Does hitting 50 points in the primary attribute bring that benefit? I've naturally advanced to the Genetic Species stage."

Hearing that, Qiu Gongrong was shocked once more: "You've reached the Genetic Species? You didn't do it before getting to 50 points, did you?"

A sudden realization hit him, prompting him to probe further without delay.

Liang Yuan inquired, "What's going on?"

Qiu Gongrong eyed Liang Yuan with a hint of sympathy and explained, "Advancing and solidifying the Genetic Species without perfecting your main attribute to 50 points can indeed grant you quick combat strength at the Genetic Species level."

"However, it robs you of the chance for true genetic inheritance, and in this scenario, your main attribute remains impure and incomplete. During the solidification of the Genetic Species, you'll face a flood of data from mixed genes."

"In those circumstances, there's not just a huge risk to your life as you solidify the Genetic Species, but also an ongoing threat of your mind being torn apart by the torrent of genetic knowledge."

"Furthermore, even if you manage to solidify the Genetic Species through sheer luck, your abilities will inevitably lag far behind those superpowered individuals who perfect their attributes to 50 points before solidifying their Genetic Species."

"In Guangfu, folks who advance to solidify Genetic Species without reaching 50 points in their main attribute are labeled Pseudo-Genetic Species, and some even mock them as 'Hybrids'."

With these words, Qiu Gongrong gazed at Liang Yuan, showing clear regret.

He assumed Liang Yuan was one of those pseudo-genetic species superpowered users.

Liang Yuan kept his face neutral, fully aware of his own reality; he was undoubtedly a genuine Genetic Species.

He simply couldn't figure out why he hadn't gotten any genetic inheritance data.

Liang Yuan turned to Qiu Gongrong and questioned, "Is it possible to reach 50 points in the main attribute and still not get any genetic transmission info?"

Qiu Gongrong shook his head at once: "No way. Guangfu's military studies show that the genetic info in our genes is largely in pieces. Only when a specific power awakens does the body start digging up this genetic potential on its own."

"During this, we keep devouring the meat and blood of mutated beings, pulling in matching genes from their flesh to patch up those broken ones."

"When an attribute finally climbs to 50 points, we've pieced together one full gene type at a basic level, and that's when the inherited knowledge from the genes' depths surges in."

"What you're describing just can't happen."

"To access genetic inheritance info, you have to finish patching the broken genes in your body. This ties into deeply exploring your powers, which lifts your main attribute to 50 points."

"But if your main attribute hits 50 points without those genes being completed, wouldn't that mean you've reached the end without doing the work?"

At those words, Liang Yuan abruptly asked, "Do fragmented genes require eating mutated creature flesh and blood to get completed?"

"Absolutely, how else would you gather extra genes in your body to fill them?"

"Think of those botched mutations, the mad ones; they've lost everything but their drives, and don't they ravenously eat others too?"

"Their genes are pushing them to frantically take in outside genes to finish themselves off."

Liang Yuan went quiet.

His Attribute Points had broken through not via eating mutated creature meat and blood.

Instead, purely through manually assigning points, which explained the absence of genetic inheritance info.

In a flash, Liang Yuan remembered the Ice Goddess persona that kept emerging during Yang Mei’s first awakening.

"Was it that during Sister Mei’s awakening, she tapped into memory from her genes' depths? Is her final evolution path toward the Ice Goddess?"

"Afterward, I ensured she avoided mutated creature flesh, sharing only the system-exchanged meat with her, so her Ice Goddess gene fragments didn't grow, and that persona faded over time."

Liang Yuan's mind raced, piecing together a theory fast.

At last, he grasped why his close companions' power growth lagged, while superpowered masters abounded beyond their walls.

Apparently, those outsiders were wildly gobbling mutant beast flesh and blood to fix genetic gaps and boost their might.

His inner circle mostly dined on his system trades, so they couldn't patch their genes or advance swiftly.

Liang Yuan eyed Qiu Gongrong and suddenly queried, "Based on your explanation, can genetic gaps be filled solely by consuming mutated creature flesh and blood, with no alternatives?"

"Definitely, without eating, how do you draw in external genes?"

"Doesn't superpower energy float in the air?" Liang Yuan remarked out of the blue.

Qiu Gongrong paused, then laughed lightly, "Sure, superpower energy is all around in nature. It can nourish human genes too, but it only bolsters the genes already there and won't cover the absent segments."

"Without full genes, you won't unlock inheritance info."

"And consider this: just soaking up the scant energy from heaven and earth to build yourself up—how many years would that take?"

"By then, mutant horrors would have claimed the world outside."

Liang Yuan held his tongue. Before the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique existed, passively drawing in Heaven and Earth energy would indeed drag on endlessly.

Yet with the Gene Activation Technique, the intake speed had soared, and Yangshan's cultivators weren't slacking.

Plus, in Yangshan, it was just his nearest allies who skipped mutated creature flesh—not the whole group.

Still, missing out on genetic inheritance created a real headache.

Had his firm refusal to touch mutated creature flesh been a mistake from the start?

All along, a nagging doubt had stirred in him, sure that such flesh was tainted.

Was that just his imagination?

Liang Yuan's brow furrowed as he pressed, "You talked earlier about what miscellaneous genes are?"

Qiu Gongrong had shattered the ice ahead, uncovering a slim flesh barrier.

Joy lit his face; he ripped the gap in the flesh wall and cried out, "Is this the way out?"

Liang Yuan confirmed with a nod and insisted, "Answer me first!"

Without turning, Qiu Gongrong wriggled through excitedly, calling back, "What's confusing about it? Miscellaneous genes are those not linked to your main attribute."

"For example, in a Water Attribute superpowered user, Fire Attribute and like genes count as miscellaneous."

"The human body holds endless gene varieties, with tons in each chromosome pair—how many in a blood drop? How many drops in a body?"

"Imagine the sheer volume of miscellaneous genes crammed in you?"

"As a superpowered user evolves, it's all about ramping up the gene section tied to your awakened power."

"More precisely, the gene section you select."

"Most folks' powers on awakening link to their deepest wishes then."

"That wish boils down to picking which key genes to ignite."

"Those genes form under one percent of your total, leaving the rest—ninety-nine percent—as miscellaneous genes."

"On your evolution journey ahead, focus on boosting that one percent, filling out those genes, and in the end, solidify your Genetic Species, form a genetic chain, and etch your genetic blueprint."

By now, Qiu Gongrong had slipped fully into the next room.

Liang Yuan trailed after him.

As he stepped in, he sealed the flesh wall shut again, directing his telekinesis to reseal the outer ice block.

Inside the new chamber, Liang Yuan finally posed, "So what happens to that final ninety-nine percent of miscellaneous genes?"

"Do they affect us in any way?"
