Chapter 982: Chapter 375: The Situation in Guangfu
Floating Island?
Liang Yuan furrowed his brows slightly. When he heard the term, his first thought was actually the Turtle Island he had encountered before.
That Turtle Island seemed like an island but was actually an enormous mutant giant turtle.
Otherwise, there’s no way to explain how an island could drift along the waves.
Unless the island itself was able to move.
"Why do they say that finding the Floating Island would provide a way to survive in the apocalyptic flood world?" Liang Yuan asked with curiosity.
The tall man quickly responded, "I’m not exactly sure; I think perhaps it’s because the Floating Island is full of spiritual energy and floats above the water, so there’s no worry about being submerged by the flood..."
Liang Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, what this man said made some sense.
But surely it couldn’t be that simple.
"What is a Genetic Species?"
Liang Yuan stopped pondering these matters and turned his attention to the thing he cared about most.
He learned about the Genetic Species from the system. How did the people of Guangfu know about the Genetic Species?
This was what concerned him most.
The tall man hurriedly said, "A Genetic Species is a seed that must be obtained after spiritual energy irrigation when the mutation degree reaches 100%."
"After we receive spiritual energy irrigation, the Four Major Attributes of the body will continuously enhance. Once the mutation degree completely reaches 100%, one of our body’s Four Major Attributes will reach its limit."
"The limit value, when seen through an Investigation Rune, is about 50 Points."
"And upon reaching this limit, if we don’t acquire a Genetic Species to rewrite the genetic map within the body, we can never breakthrough this limit."
Liang Yuan listened to this, his eyes narrowing slightly.
What the other party described was almost identical to his own experience.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Where did you get this information?"
"Ah? Um... this is known to everyone among the Guangfu Three Great Sects." The tall man quickly replied.
Liang Yuan’s expression turned solemn. How can there be so much information discrepancy between his side and the Guangfu side?
What stage had Guangfu developed to, that they had researched superpowers so quickly in comparison to his side?
He took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts and suspicions in his heart.
"Where did this information originate from in the first place?"
"This, I don’t know; I heard it from people within the sect." The tall man said.
Liang Yuan also inquired, "So how does one acquire Genetic Species; where can they be obtained?"
The tall man promptly responded, "I don’t know about others; within our Spiritual Ability Sect, if one wants to awaken a Genetic Species, there’s only one way, become a high rank within the sect and receive the Sect Leader’s baptism to awaken the Genetic Species."
Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes, asking, "The Spiritual Ability Sect has a method for superpower users to awaken Genetic Species?"
"Yes, the Sect Leader has a method; I don’t know what it is."
"Then, do all awakened Genetic Species and genetic maps look the same?"
The tall man nodded, "Yes, within the Spiritual Ability Sect, it is the same."
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered for a moment, "What does this mean? Other sects in Guangfu have different Genetic Species awakening?"
"They’re different; the Water God Sect’s Genetic Species is [Divine Water Kite Phoenix], and the Earth Mother Sect’s Genetic Species is [Mammoth Giant Elephant]."
"Water God Sect, Earth Mother Sect?"
Liang Yuan quietly noted down the names of these two sects.
These two sects are renowned alongside the Spiritual Ability Sect in Guangfu, and their power is likely not to be underestimated either.
Especially given that these two sects also have methods to awaken Genetic Species.
This indicates that there must be experts within these forces that have awakened Genetic Species.
Of course, the so-called sects are likely the creation of a top-tier superpower user.
Using the survivors’ despair towards the apocalyptic flood to shape the existence of a savior faith.
This approach undoubtedly offers many benefits over laboriously constructing a survivor shelter.
Because religious nature groups directly control the beliefs of their followers.
Liang Yuan glanced at the tall man, asking, "What is the Genetic Species of your Spiritual Ability Sect?"
"It’s the Golden Pattern Blood Locust."
Liang Yuan instantly raised an eyebrow, "Golden Pattern Blood Locust? Is that the thing inside the bottle?"
The tall man immediately fell silent.
It seemed that whenever the contents of the blood bottle were involved, he dared not say anything.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan decided not to inquire further about matters related to the Spiritual Ability Sect and instead focused on the other two sects.
The tall man also breathed a sigh of relief; matters regarding the Spiritual Ability Sect couldn’t be discussed, but those of the other two sects could be talked about freely.
As Liang Yuan inquired, he slowly learned about the general situation on the Guangfu side from the tall man.
Guangfu’s terrain is higher, with many hills.
The apocalyptic flood has come, submerging Liang Yuan’s side to over twenty stories deep, whereas Guangfu’s hills merely turned into islands.
There are many survivors over there, gathered on the islands, having an inherent development foundation.
Therefore, despite facing the newly emergent superpowers, their adaptation and research on superpowers are undoubtedly deeper than on Yangshan’s side.
Because where there are people, there is conflict, and superpowers as the main tool of conflict naturally develop rapidly in such circumstances.
I’m afraid that over in Guangfu, there are countless powerful superpower users.
There are many forces in Guangfu, but the main ones are still the Three Great Sects and the military base.
Among them, the strongest is undoubtedly the Guangfu Military Base.
When the Three Great Sects were first established, the Guangfu Military Base severely cracked down on them, classifying the Three Sects as cult organizations.
There were once extremely brutal battles.
Later, as time went by, it seemed that a series of internal conflicts occurred within the military, reducing their power greatly and giving the Three Great Sects a chance to breathe.
The Three Great Sects seized the time during the military’s internal strife to rapidly develop, and later powerful superpower users with awakened genetic species appeared.
From that moment, the military could no longer suppress the Three Great Sects at all.
Because even though the military’s firepower was fierce, top-level superpower users of genetic species level came and went invisibly, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
Latterly, both sides engaged in a series of assassinations and activities targeting high-level figures.
Eventually, after a period of stalemate, it seemed the high-level figures from all sides conducted tacit negotiations, with the military making some compromises, limiting the development range of the Three Great Sects.
Among them, the Spiritual Ability Sect occupied Mide Mountain, using it as the core territory to recruit followers and develop the sect.
The Water God Sect occupied Denggong Mountain, while the Earth Mother Sect occupied Cangfu Mountain.
The Three Great Sects developed individually but remained wary of each other, and occasional battles would still erupt.
Beneath the Three Great Sects, there were many small shelters, also frequently engaging in chaotic fights over resources.
Against such a backdrop, human application and development of superpowers on the Guangfu side entered an extremely rapid era of growth.
Investigation Runes, Golden Armor Warships, and Talisman Arrays all emerged from these intense conflicts.
Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, subconsciously recalled the years of rapid advancement in modern technology, coinciding precisely with those two world wars.
At the same time, he finally understood why even though Guangfu’s military was in Linjiang City, they were never able to organize effective rescue operations.
Perhaps the flood disaster was only one aspect; the other aspect was their struggle to protect themselves.
Internal military rebellion and the rise of external superpower forces also required their vigilance.
Under such circumstances, how could they have the capacity to venture out and rescue the general populace in other regions?
It’s pitiful how he and others waited for rescue in vain during the great flood.
After knocking out the tall man, Liang Yuan woke up the last skinny man and asked the previous questions again.
After confirming the tall man hadn’t lied about most things, Liang Yuan didn’t end the inquiry.
He forcibly coerced the skinny man to reveal the secret of the Blood Bottle and the Golden Pattern Blood Locust.
This time, he transformed his spiritual power into Puppet Threads, tightly controlling the Golden Pattern Blood Locust to study its attack methods.
As the skinny man was pressured by Liang Yuan to violate his oath and just as he revealed the secret concerning the Golden Pattern Blood Locust, suddenly, a burst of blood flames ignited violently from his body.
Liang Yuan didn’t pay attention to this person at all, his spiritual power completely enveloped the Golden Pattern Blood Locust, probing all its internal movements.
At the moment the blood flames ignited, Liang Yuan felt an inexplicable wave subtly flashing by.
Then those blood flames rose intensely.
"Such a secretive method!"
Liang Yuan’s face showed a stunned expression: "It’s not spiritual power, nor is it any superpower attribute I’m familiar with. Strange, what kind of power is this?"
Although he detected this bizarre attack, it was too obscure.
Liang Yuan fully concentrated, could only sense a faint spiritual warning with no other signs detectable.
In an instant, he became extremely wary of the Spiritual Ability Sect’s genetic species, the Golden Pattern Blood Locust!
"Perhaps when I accumulate a million Points again, I can use the system to inquire what type of genetic species this Golden Pattern Blood Locust really is."
"Besides, different superpower users are certainly suited to different genetic species too."
"For a superpower like mine, Evolution, the system matched the most suitable genetic species for me as the Hundred-Change Demon Ape."
"It’s evident that awakening a genetic species varies from person to person and it is impossible for everyone to choose to awaken the same genetic species."
"Therefore, the genetic species of the Three Great Sects might not be suitable for the people who join the sects."
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
He suddenly flashed an idea.
"Could it be that the Three Great Sects are extensively capturing survivors, not solely for developing followers, but also possibly to find those suitable for awakening their respective sect’s genetic species?"
The more Liang Yuan thought, the more plausible it seemed!
While Divine Skill Manuals are hard to find, seeking individuals suitable for cultivating the manuals is equally difficult.
It’s a mutual selection process between both sides.
The genetic species of the Three Great Sects is fixed and unchanging, there is only one type.
Thus, they can only search everywhere for the right people to comprehend it.
If they succeed in activating the genetic species, they can naturally break through limits and rewrite the genetic map.
However, what Liang Yuan is puzzled about is whether there are many genetic species within these sects?
Only he can exchange one genetic species with a million Points, how are these people getting them?
With these questions, Liang Yuan, using Puppet Threads, manipulated the tall man and swam toward the large wooden ship.
Once onboard the ship, and after deeper contact with this group of people, perhaps things will gradually become clear.
