I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 562: 【187】Final reward, genetic limit enhancement
999,999.999 jin seems to differ from 1,000,000 jin by only a tiny bit.
But the gap between the two is as vast as between the clouds and the mud; they are not in the same league at all.
1,000,000 jin doesn’t merely represent a power impact.
It also symbolizes a threshold, above which lies the 1st-level life forms.
Below this threshold are substandard life forms.
The silver greatsword in Barbarcan’s hand suddenly snapped open, swiftly shattering.
His entire body cracked open, ultimately exploding in an incredulous scream.
He turned into millions of tiny fragments of minced meat, which were blasted forward by the shockwave of Wang Longhu’s Spiritual Telekinesis, spraying everywhere.
Wang Longhu laughed heartily in silence; this was the first time he fully exerted the maximum of his Spiritual Telekinesis since he became a Spirit Body.
This feeling was incredibly exhilarating, like a sprinter who hadn’t raced in years finally stepping back onto the track and hitting their peak limit.
"Who would’ve thought that there’s such an alien expert imprisoned inside the Kukulkan relic? Does this mean the aliens who built this ancient civilization relic were far more powerful than this dragon man could ever be?"
After feeling relieved, Wang Longhu had a thought, and worry filled his heart.
Undoubtedly, his strength was only slightly superior to Barbarcan. If Wang Longhu encounters the true master of the Kukulkan relic at this moment,
if the opponent wants to imprison him on this tower’s 100th floor, Wang Longhu estimates he would have no power to resist at all.
That would be an absolute crush.
"The enemy, at the other end of the universe, is the enemy," Wang Longhu thought seriously.
He truly doesn’t believe that the entire Milky Way would only have this one life-sustaining planet; surely, in places beyond human astronomical technology’s visibility, there must be other life planets.
In interstellar civilizations, from Wang Longhu’s personal vantage point,
he feels that concepts like ’cooperation’, ’alliance’, ’friendliness’ are unlikely to exist.
Once they discover another life planet existing, they’ll survey information, compare military power, initiate invasions, plunder resources, and establish colonial enslavement.
This would be the real outcome, Wang Longhu believes.
Every life-sustaining planet that can give birth to life is a fat sheep; no civilization would choose to ignore.
It’s just like seeing a one-hundred denomination bill on the ground—no one would not pick it up.
At this moment, Wang Longhu felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
His current strength is more than enough to dominate this planet.
But in the cosmos, it might become utterly insignificant.
Even an alien life form imprisoned in the Kukulkan relic for an unknown duration could push him to his limits.
Then what about this dragon man’s friends? His parents?
What could the forces or the civilization he belongs to be like?
The thought was so terrifying that Wang Longhu dared not dwell on it, fearing his spirit might succumb to madness.
After Barbarcan’s death, just like the previous 99 floors he had cleared,
A platform rose slowly from the center of the hall floor.
This time, two items were placed on it simultaneously.
A silver battle knife of unknown metallic makeup with a smooth surface capable of reflecting like a mirror.
This battle knife was one meter long, about 20 cm wide, and had a very thin blade, but when Wang Longhu gripped the handle and lifted it, he realized it was incredibly heavy.
It likely weighed over 3,000 jin.
Beside the battle knife was a bone bowl with a ragged edge and a surface crack.
At this moment, the bone bowl contained a steaming bowl of green goo.
Even though the lighting in the hall wasn’t very bright, this goo still emitted a fluorescent green glow.
It appeared... not quite edible.
"This thing." Wang Longhu suspiciously reached into the bowl and scraped out some with a finger, elevating it slightly to his mouth for a taste.
Instantly, the taste and smell reminiscent of beast milk assaulted his taste buds, causing Wang Longhu to wrinkle his entire face.
This flavor was indescribably tangy.
Not entirely disgusting, but not quite normal either.
Next, Wang Longhu felt a significant change taking place in his body.
This change was incredibly profound, impacting him from the deepest layers of his being, and if Wang Longhu’s spirit weren’t strong enough,
he might not have sensed it at all.
Because the source of this change was genetic.
The renowned biochemist and science fiction writer, Asimov, proposed in one of his articles a hypothesis on ’six life forms’.
1. Fluorosilicone-based life forms.
2. Sulfur-based fluorosulfur life forms.
3. Water-based nucleic acid/protein (oxygen-based) life forms.
4. Ammonia-based nucleic acid/protein (nitrogen-based) life forms.
5. Methane-based lipid compound life forms.
6. Hydrogen-based lipid compound life forms.
The first type of life is the silicone-based life form, which was quite popular in the science fiction community years past, an opposite to the carbon-based life form.
Defined as life forms composed of biological molecules with a silicon framework, containing mixtures of silicon nitride, iron sulfide, ferrosilicon, and other silicon element compounds mixed with metals.
The third type of life is the sole life form of this planet, carbon-based life.
Just like humans and all known species on Earth, these are typical carbon-based life forms, relying on carbon as the foundation of organic matter.
In human life, composed of various cells, further subdivided internally into nuclei within the cells, chromosomes within the nuclei, and DNA within the chromosomes.
