Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Chapter 136 Awakened Ones and the Mutation of the Source God

Imagine, these powerful beings who once controlled the world have lost their power to rule because of the dissipation of spiritual energy and the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age. How could they be willing to accept this?

Now that they have the opportunity to regain their great power, they would not hesitate to sell their souls to the devil.

As a result, many practitioners, or their descendants, began to try to find a way to control this power.

This plunged the world into a bloody and dark era.

Countless cultivators underwent mutations, gaining exceptionally powerful abilities, but those who could maintain their rationality during these transformations were extremely rare.

Those that failed to mutate were transformed into exceptionally powerful monsters, becoming ancient legends around the world, monsters or demons that only exist in mythology.

The legends of sirens, mermaids, werewolves, vampires, Bigfoot, and centaurs are all monsters created by mutations!

Even among the descendants of cultivators, only one in a hundred can successfully undergo mutation!

Sure enough, these records and Gendagawa's speculations were exactly the same.

However, although the aberration is extremely difficult, and even if one remains rational after the aberration, there will be all sorts of side effects, which are outrageous.

For example, the records mention in detail that many mutants, after their mutation, became humanoid beasts, possessing the same habits as wild animals.

They are bloodthirsty, eat raw meat and drink blood, and have many other horrifying quirks. Moreover, as time goes on, the degree of mutation of these mutants will become deeper and deeper, which makes these forces that possess the Seed of the Source Gods very troublesome.

After all, acquiring a qualified mutant to use as combat power requires an enormous amount of manpower and resources.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the family is or how many members there are, with such a low mutation rate, no matter how ruthless or cold-blooded they are, they cannot keep using the lives of their family members to create mutants, otherwise it would be tantamount to courting their own destruction.

But at this moment, there was good news: the Awakened Ones had appeared!

The so-called Awakened Ones are actually also mutants, but their mutations are perfect, making them completely different from ordinary mutants and mutant monsters!

They will possess the power of mutants, but without any loss of control or strangeness. They will remain just like normal people, only exhibiting slight changes in appearance and some demonic characteristics when fully unleashing their power.

Not only that, but unlike the mutants, the awakened ones do not die young due to their great power; in fact, their lifespan can exceed that of ordinary people, reaching more than twice that of ordinary people!

More importantly, the best among the Awakened can pass on this power through bloodlines, and the descendants of these Awakened are known as the Source God Bloodline.

Upon seeing this information, Genda River couldn't help but touch his nose.

Only then did he understand why he, a down-on-his-luck rich kid, was given such an expensive poison, and why so many eyes were still focused on him after the Genji Group went bankrupt.

Another point is why his transformation into Sesshomaru was so effective at drawing the enemy's attention.

He exceeded his target by a wide margin, and all those who had been watching him vanished without a trace, as if they no longer cared about his life or death.

Now it seems that in their eyes, Sesshomaru is the perfect mutant, that is, the one who has awakened, and the characteristics are exactly the same!

Those forces that had been secretly eyeing the area, after seeing Sesshomaru, naturally stopped paying attention to Gendagawa. It was truly a coincidence.

However, even more outrageous ideas immediately popped into his head.

You think Sesshomaru is an Awakened One, a Perfect Abnormal Being, right? In that case, Inuyasha, Toga, Naraku, even cross-dressing demons, or some stunning beauties from past anime, with a little bit of demon elements added, could all be arranged.

For example, Feng Mian in "Juan Si Liang" doesn't need to have monster elements added. Medusa in "Battle Through the Heavens" and Yan Ling Ji in "Qin Shi" need to have a pair of fox ears added.

Thinking about what I would look like in women's clothing, I'm actually a little excited. Oh dear, I did this just to attract attention.

I absolutely do not have a cross-dressing fetish, absolutely not! Absolutely!

Just imagine, with so many awakened beings appearing one after another, wouldn't that stun all these guys? I'm such a clever little devil!

Then, things entered a new cycle. The cultivators, who had regained their powerful abilities, began to use this power recklessly and waged a great war to seize the treasure that could bring about mutations, namely the so-called Seed of the Source God.

Throughout world history, many major wars that altered the course of history were driven by these forces.

Gendagawa could even conceive that many later major wars, such as the two world wars, might have been influenced by these forces.

The only reason is that the inscription on this stone tablet dates back more than three hundred years, and none of these records exist.

It is conceivable that anyone with extraordinary power will inevitably have extraordinary history.

After various complex struggles, the Genda family unexpectedly obtained a Seed of the Source God, thus beginning the glorious era of the Genda family.

At its peak, the Genda family practically became the true power holders in Japan!

The world has also entered an era where the bloodline of the Source Gods is in control, and a large number of Source God families have emerged.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. Just as these Source God families were using their mutated abilities and combining them with their former power systems to create new ways of fighting, a new crisis quietly arrived.

The strange creatures resulting from the failed mutations began to riot.

It's important to know that, aside from ordinary people captured by various powerful forces for research purposes, many of these monsters are actually descendants of those powerful forces who have transformed into monsters.

More importantly, while these monsters are prone to going out of control, they are not entirely without ways to control them.

If controlled properly, it can become an important fighting force and a cornerstone of deterrence and rule, just like in the mythical era.

However, things quickly took an unexpected turn.

Everyone initially thought it was just a side effect of the mutation and didn't pay much attention to it. They only suppressed it appropriately and didn't try to eliminate it completely. They even tried to regain control.

However, the target of these mutated monsters was the hidden Source God Seeds of various forces. Moreover, once they got close to the Source God Seeds, these monsters were willingly devoured by the Source God Seeds without any resistance!

In this way, all the forces realized that this was all a conspiracy by the Seed of the Source God!

The Seed of the Source God first releases a certain energy, causing those who approach it to mutate. Once the mutation reaches a certain level, it will attract these mutated individuals back, devour these mutated monsters, and increase its own power!

After devouring the flesh and blood of these monsters, the Source God Seed, which was not particularly powerful to begin with, began to grow stronger rapidly!

Thus, a catastrophe known as the Origin God Mutation quietly arrived.

Chapter 137 Studs and Bloodline Degeneration

really!

Genda River had already guessed that this damn Seed of the God of Origin was definitely not a good thing!

This thing arrived in the Dharma-ending Age, giving these practitioners a new way out; it was like a gift from nature.

Nature may bestow a red-clad female ghost upon you, but it cannot bestow a black octopus upon you!

Clearly, the aberration is actually a conspiracy by the Seed of the Source God!

One can imagine that those who were able to cultivate in ancient times must have been the best among the human bloodlines. The Seed of the Source God used the power of mutation to transform them into monsters, making them stronger, and then when they were strong enough, they were harvested all at once!

It's like a different version of fattening up pigs before slaughtering them!

However, the major forces would not sit idly by and immediately launched a counterattack. But after absorbing a massive number of mutated monsters, the Seed of Origin God had become unimaginably powerful.

However, although the Seed of Origin God is powerful, it is gradually weakened in the face of attacks from a large number of powerful individuals, especially now that dozens of powerful Awakened Ones have made their move!

These awakened beings not only possess exceptionally powerful strength, but also, through the powerful strength generated by their mutated physical bodies, they can utilize some of the methods they once used in the Dharma-ending Age!

Furthermore, they developed many new abilities by using their mutated bodies, and their strength was no less than that of the powerful figures of the mythical era!

That battle was extremely fierce, with countless powerful figures perishing. Fortunately, the problem was largely resolved, and almost all the Source God Seeds were wiped out, with only a handful remaining.

The one from the Genda family is one of the surviving Seeds of the Source God. As for why they were able to obtain this Seed of the Source God, the reason is quite simple: in the battle to exterminate this Seed of the Source God, the Genda family's ancestor was the last survivor, and everyone else died.

It wasn't exactly luck, because the ancestor who went into battle was an Awakened One, and extremely powerful—the strongest among that group.

He could have destroyed the Seed of the Origin God at that time, but just as he was about to make his move, he heard a 'divine decree' that prevented him from destroying the Seed of the Origin God.

According to this ancestor's description, this so-called 'divine oracle' was a voice that suddenly entered his mind, just like when he used the Seed of the Source God to obtain the mutated power!

However, this time it was much more thorough; not only was the physical body undergoing distortion, but even the mind was being severely twisted and changed.

According to him, 'Once the thought of destroying the Seed of the Source God arises, the body and spirit will suffer hellish torment, as if some unseen being is watching over everything. That power must be the source of the Seed of the Source God, a true god!'

Genda River naturally held a skeptical attitude towards his judgment. Rather than believing it to be a divine revelation, it might be more plausible that he had been unknowingly corrupted by the distortion.

However, due to this, the Genda family inadvertently preserved a Seed of the Source God, which was secretly hidden underground in the castle, becoming the Genda family's greatest secret.

After this upheaval, all the Source God families suffered heavy losses, and the ordinary mutants suffered enormous losses, with only a small number remaining.

However, the major families did not pay too much attention, because although the ordinary mutants suffered heavy losses, some of the core awakened ones still survived.

After all, no one would be so foolish as to stake all their resources on dealing with the Seed of the Source God; each faction has its own reservations.

Awakened beings are not only powerful, but they can also pass on their power through bloodline inheritance.

Although the losses suffered by each faction were significant, it didn't matter. Given time, they could rebuild their families and, having eliminated the chaotic bloodlines of ordinary mutants, might even become stronger.

Thus, these surviving awakened individuals transformed into studs and embarked on a difficult and arduous path to family revival, working hard every day—it was truly exhausting.

Seeing this, Genda River couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. These guys actually had a legitimate reason to build a harem. It was unbelievable!

In order to build a harem, he not only has to use all sorts of methods, but also be a good man, cook for the girls, and use food to entice their taste buds.

These guys were actually "ordered to pick up girls," and the entire family tried every means to ensure they left behind more descendants. The ancestor who erected the stone tablet was also a beneficiary of this.

Although he only mentioned it briefly, as a man, he could sense the other person's smugness!

I hate smug people the most, even if they are the original owner's ancestors!

However, things did not develop so smoothly.

It's not that this trick is useless; it's very useful. After having many wives, each awakened individual also has many offspring.

They have enough time, enough physique (meaning good enough kidneys), and good enough conditions, so having many children is a certainty.

Just like a certain prince in the Ming Dynasty, in order to produce more offspring, he lined up the menstrual periods of his many wives and concubines, had someone specially record and archive them, and then went to his wives to play cards according to the time that was most conducive to pregnancy, that is, the so-called dangerous period.
