I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early Chapter 1101 - 654: The Target Being Captured Is Actually Me

Lu Yuan laughed heartily: "Of course, it’s my extraordinary sensing ability as a Great Spirit Rhythr. Do you really think I’ve been using all these Divine Skills for nothing? How’s your research progressing?"

Beiming shrugged helplessly: "Great Commander, the bloodline is already the underlying chanism of the rules. With our current research capabilities, I’m afraid we can’t figure it out clearly."

"At least a Level 5 Civilization, or even a Sixth-level Civilization, might be necessary."

Lu Yuan felt a bit disappointed. Could it really be that the only way to cultivate the bloodline is through the incredibly precious ’Xuanhuang Qi’?

"However, being unable to fully perceive the truth doesn’t always hinder developnt," Beiming continued, "It’s like Newton’s laws of motion; we know they aren’t the ultimate truth, yet we still use them as normal."

He took Lu Yuan to visit the bloodline laboratory.

Professor Lu Tiantian was busy with so experint. Upon seeing him, she waved through the glass window, greeting him.

This place was actually quite clean. There were over a hundred animals in cages, along with Petri dishes, incubators, and so experintal farms with waterless cultivation boxes and so on.

There was even the shell of an Undying Giant Turtle, along with so strange, wriggling flesh?

Lu Yuan grimaced slightly at the sight.

"This is our latest result in bloodline research, an extraordinary animal called the ’Vermilion Fox,’ cloned using cell culture technology."

"Clone?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Beiming pointed to a small embryo in an artificial womb and explained: "Extraordinary animals have low reproductive capability, a problem that has always troubled us. Why does this happen, and what would occur if the world were full of extraordinary creatures?"

"Thinking about it, it’s still because of the constraint of the Mind bloodline. To give a simple example, humans have varying IQs, yet the offspring of two intelligent parents often have an IQ that returns to the norm. Unintelligent parents could hit the genetic lottery and produce intelligent offspring."

"The proportion of intelligent people in the population is a constant value. Human society needs red flowers but also needs more green leaves. If everyone were intelligent, our world might not necessarily beco better."

Lu Yuan fell silent. What he said wasn’t entirely wrong either...

"Extraordinary animals and plants are actually similar. Most of their offspring are diocre."

"But unlike humans, their offspring are unlikely to be born. They die imdiately at the fertilized egg stage, so it seems like infertility," Beiming made an exaggerated exploding gesture.

"Why... why?"

"It’s likely due to bloodline restrictions. If extraordinary beings could pass on their bloodlines at will, there would be no room for ordinary creatures on the Pangu Continent."

Lu Yuan pondered. Old Wolf, during the phase of mutated creatures, reproduced many offspring.

But after evolving into an Extraordinary Life, it enjoyed itself while producing very few offspring.

"Then why can humans reproduce?"

"Humans aren’t really extraordinary animals; at least, newly born humans are ordinary creatures without superpowers. Most humans ascend through postnatal cultivation, and intelligent life is more favored by Pangu Continent."

"I see..." Lu Yuan nodded.

Beiming continued: "The world’s evolution sotis really resembles a scale. It treats both extraordinary creatures and ordinary ones equally."

"So we are now just starting cloning to bypass the constraints of the bloodline. Cloning cos with many challenges, such as a significant shortening of lifespan for cloned organisms and potential decay of extraordinary traits. But these are mainly technical challenges, and given enough ti, we are confident in overcoming them."

Beiming then took Lu Yuan to visit the botanical garden: "The cloning propagation of extraordinary plants is also under research... Cloning propagation is a form of vegetative reproduction, which doesn’t alter the original bloodline. However, it poses a major problem, typically requiring a large amount of ti and cultivation cost."

Like Crystal Valley, a renowned extraordinary species in the Northern Territory, reproduces through vegetative reproduction.

However, its reproduction is extrely difficult, requiring long-term cultivation by those with Plant Affinity, where it splits open significantly before it can be divided into two.

That ans a small twig can’t propagate; only when the mother plant’s Essence is greatly depleted can it reproduce asexually. This might be a rule created by the Pangu Continent to maintain ecological balance.

The more Lu Yuan looked, the more he felt a sense of somberness: "Damn Pangu Continent, adhering to a stringent philosophy of all beings. Now the ecology is balanced, but what about ? I can hardly introduce any bloodlines..."

"Wait!" A flash of light suddenly crossed Lu Yuan’s mind!

"It seems my thoughts have fallen into a ntal trap!"

"It’s those [Spirit] bloodlines that misled . I always thought there had to be a myth before there could be a concept of bloodline."

"But at the beginning, the Pangu Continent must have had life, otherwise who would absorb that Xuanhuang Qi?"

"Yet, all these life forms are ordinary creatures. How did they appear, were they all primordial spirits? Or perhaps the Pangu Continent also had the very first life?"

At this thought, he beca excited, searching through a large amount of information in the biology lab and even questioning the Strangers in the Different Space.

Researching the first life in the world proves extrely difficult.

Because the First Epoch was incredibly long, lasting tens of billions of years, civilization only erged in the later stages of the First Epoch, equivalent to the Stone Age, without any civilization; at most, there were only groups of primitive people who wouldn’t leave any original records.

However, a small amount of literature suggests the first primordial spirit was nad "Pangu." What he looked like, how powerful he was, whether he was an animal or plant, no one knows.
