I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse-Chapter 263 : Heavenly Dao and Human Dao

There were two Daos that always opposed each other but were present in every living being.

It wasn't the Fire and Water Dao, nor was it the Yin and Yang Dao.

It was the Dao of Heaven and Humanity!

These two were complete opposites, yet every living being was made of them.

The universe itself wouldn't function without the Heavenly Dao, and the same applied to the Human Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was a cruel and ruthless path: one had to sever all emotions to reach the peak. It was never fair. Even before birth, one's fate was already decided.

The subordinate Daos of Heaven were Fate, Destiny, Rule—everything that governed and controlled existence.

However, the Human Dao was different. It was the opposite of the Heavenly Dao, teaching the story of love, compassion, pity, and many other emotions.

It was a way of unity and coexistence.

As the saying goes, an elephant cannot be killed by a single ant—but what if there were billions of ants?

But the Heavenly Dao despised the Human Dao. As the ruler and controller of this world, it constantly suppressed it. Even humans, creations of the Human Dao itself, turned to the Heavenly Dao and became subservient, further weakening its power.

That was why the entire cultivation world was cold and ruthless.

Ray looked at the Sanskrit words emanating from the golden beam and deciphered all the information within them.

"Oh, is this your way of conveying that you seek my protection?"

He sneered inwardly. The only reason he was doing this was because it was his own empire—he wasn't selfless enough to protect something without any benefit to himself.

As if sensing Ray's thoughts, the golden rays fell upon him as well. Along with them came a surge of golden runes that entered his inner world.

With them appeared a strange, human-shaped root near his Divine Tree.

Tan Xiang might not have been able to sense it, but Ray could feel a single brown thread trying to escape from his body.

"Heh, I knew you were hiding a secret trick."

Ray used his Chaos Qi and severed the brown thread.

"How could a Dao itself be friendly to outsiders, no matter how desperate it is?" He cast a cold glance at Tan Xiang, who was still in a trance, while carefully comprehending the Human Dao.

They were the laws of the universe, if the laws itself betray the universe, then it was like the universe itself betraying itself.

Now that he had cut the brown thread, he could fully grasp all that it had to offer, filling him with inevitable satisfaction and joy.

After a long time, he finally emerged from his reverie and looked around. Then, in a gentle voice, he spoke:

"Everyone, pray to me with my image in your minds, joining your hands together."

Though his voice was soft, everyone—including the robots—instinctively complied, bowing their heads and forming an image of Ray in their minds.

Blue particles floated out of their bodies the moment they followed Ray's command.

These particles all gathered toward him, and at the same time, everyone—both humans and robots—felt a wave of weakness wash over them.

Ray observed the particles and allowed them to be absorbed by his Divine Tree, instantly triggering another surge of improvement in his Human Dao.

"Did I gain Fate Energy?... No, this is the power of the Human Dao—completely different from the Heavenly Dao. I gathered their power through 'unity.'"

Ray wasn't unfamiliar with this concept or law. It was similar to the one present in his skill, Gene Synchronization—only far more advanced and practical, with no limitations.

Even though Ray hadn't reached Tier Thirteen yet…

"I might finally be able to incorporate the pocket dimension I created into my inner world."

If he could accomplish this, his strength would no longer be so restricted by the universe he resided in.

After this realization, Ray returned to his seclusion, once again immersing himself in study and research. However, before leaving, he gave Vanessa a simple instruction:

"Let her leave."

Tan Xiang stood in stunned silence, her eyes wandering as she processed everything around her. The information she had gained shook her to the core, yet along with it came a renewed vigor—the path to becoming even stronger!

Though she had reached Tier Twelve and was hailed as the most talented, she had long believed there was no hope of advancing further.

And now, there was a way!

At that moment, Vanessa appeared before her, a strange smile on her face.

Feeling the unsettling expression, Tan Xiang grew uncomfortable, a shiver running down her spine.

"You are free to leave now."

"Eh?" She was confused, but before she could ask anything, she received no answer. Instead, she fell into a trance, and in the next instant, she found herself standing in a forest.

Her eyes were dazed. Everything felt surreal and illusionary, as if it had all been a dream. But the human root still remained in her inner world, confirming that it was real.

After some time, she began to walk, eventually entering a village and quietly observing the lives of its people as they unfolded before her.

With each life she observed, there was a unique flavor to existence—a different interpretation of life and everything that came with it.

She was like a third-person observer, quietly watching these people before continuing her journey.

A deep sense of joy filled her heart as she delved further into the comprehension of the Human Dao.

A year had already passed, yet she continued to travel across the land, immersing herself in the experiences of others.

At some point, she stumbled upon an arrogant youth in a small, weak town.

He was frail, far too weak, but the fire of confidence burned bright in his eyes. However, upon returning to his family, he was humiliated—his fiancée divorced him, deeming him trash.

In response, he challenged her to a duel in three years, and she accepted.

Tan Xiang noticed a ring on the youth's finger, and her expression grew even stranger.

Then, as if responding to her gaze, the ring revealed itself—housing the soul of an old man, a fallen Tier Nine powerhouse.

The youth began his journey, growing stronger by the second with unfathomable luck.

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before," Tan Xiang murmured, her thoughts drifting back to Ray's domain. There, countless stories like this existed, popular in nearly every household.

"One of the most common protagonists."

But just as that thought crossed her mind, the human root in her Mental Space stirred. In an instant, she forgot all memories of her realization, leaving behind only pure curiosity about the youth's journey.

Somewhere, this scene was being observed through a screen—live.

Ray watched the scene while sipping his bitter coffee.

"So it really is the case," he mumbled, then fell back onto the bed, wrestling with the beautiful woman beside him.

They were all stunning, and he enjoyed their company with all his heart. They were women from the Devil Dao.

Unfortunately, he could only gain a single cultivation point, which wasn't enough to reach Tier Thirteen.

But there was one great news though, he has finally managed to form the blueprint to combine his inner world with his pocket dimension!
