I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 123 Descendants of Gods? Extraordinary Cultivation Method!

"Is everything ready?"

Ye Feng finished organizing the thick document in his hand and turned his gaze to Clarice beside him.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty, and everything is foolproof."

"The entire College of Cardinals, His Holiness the Pope, all Saints and reserve members are present and awaiting your arrival."

Clarisse bowed slightly, her tone respectful.

At this moment, there is less than half an hour left before the global press conference held by the Sanctuary officially begins.

The eyes of the world, whether ordinary citizens, rulers of various countries, or mutants hidden among the masses, are focused on this place, holding their breath.

The news that the Sanctuary is about to announce may very well permanently change the existing world order.

If the Holy Land's announcement two days ago is true, if all humans truly possess divine blood, and if the Holy Land has already mastered the method to unlock this bloodline treasure and awaken extraordinary power in mortals—

Therefore, the giant that will lead the next era will surely be the Holy Land.

This is something that countless sovereign states would not want to see.

At the press conference, the initial noise and commotion gradually subsided, replaced by an almost frozen silence.

Everyone could feel the tension and anticipation that permeated every corner of the space.

On either side of the platform, members of the College of Cardinals, dressed in solemn attire, and spirited Saints stood solemnly, like two rows of silent sculptures, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

"Buzz!"

Just then, a slight tremor suddenly emanated from the space above the central platform of the press conference, followed by ripples spreading out like water.

"They're here!"

Someone let out a low exclamation, and instantly, all the reporters sprang to attention, countless cameras flashing...

All the camera lenses were pointed at the center of the platform, and the flashes went off in an instant.

The next moment, Ye Feng's figure calmly stepped out from the spatial ripples.

He wore a magnificent white robe with gold trim, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire room, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate the camera and look directly into the hearts of every viewer watching the live broadcast.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Sanctuary."

"I hereby declare that today's global press conference is now officially open."

Ye Feng spoke, his voice clearly carrying to every corner of the venue, with a peculiar power of reassurance and conviction.

"I'm sure you've all heard about the information the Sanctuary released a couple of days ago, and you probably have many questions in your minds. Now, it's time to answer them. Please begin asking your questions."

As soon as he finished speaking, a forest of arms shot up from below the stage, and the reporters' faces were filled with eagerness and excitement.

Ye Feng randomly pointed to one of them.

The reporter who was called upon almost jumped to his feet, his voice trembling slightly from nervousness: "Your Holiness—Your Holiness—regarding, regarding the statement made by His Excellency the Cardinal a few days ago that all mankind are descendants of God, does the Sanctuary—have any conclusive evidence to prove this?"

He tried his best to make his statement clear and complete.

Thank you for your question.

Ye Feng nodded slightly, his tone calm and steady.

"The Sanctuary naturally possesses sufficient evidence to support this claim. Please see here."

He turned to the side to indicate this, and the huge screen behind him lit up.

The screen is so large that even attendees in the furthest positions can see every detail clearly.

Broadcast equipment in various countries immediately locked close-up shots onto the screen.

"This is the latest analysis report compiled by the Sanctuary Biological Laboratory."

Ye Feng's voice continued to guide everyone's thoughts.

"You may recall that when the Sanctuary first participated in the United Nations meeting, it submitted preliminary data proving that in the distant past, this land beneath our feet was inhabited by powerful beings known as gods."

"The report you are seeing now is based on an in-depth analysis of samples provided by ordinary people and mutant volunteers who recently participated in the Sanctuary's biological experiments."

The screen clearly displays two sets of complex gene maps and data side by side.

"On the left is the genetic analysis of ordinary humans. On the right is the analysis of mutants."

Ye Feng pointed to the screen.

"After comparison, we can clearly see that there is no difference between the two in terms of their underlying genetic structure; they are completely from the same source."

"And the most crucial difference lies here—"

His finger highlighted one of the gene segments.

"The X gene in mutant humans!"

"This is precisely the core issue we will be discussing today."

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened.

"Based on in-depth research by the Sanctuary Biological Laboratory, we have concluded that without exception, every human being in the world carries the X gene!"

"The only difference is whether it is awakened."

"Those who are not awakened have a recessive X gene, which cannot be detected by any advanced detection technology currently available to human civilization."

"Once the X gene awakens, the individual gains the qualification to wield divine power, regardless of the strength of the other party."

"Over the long course of time and evolution, the X gene itself has also shown individual differences and deviations."

Ye Feng continued to explain, his tone like that of a patient scholar.

"Some individuals retain their X gene relatively intact, which allows them to awaken and control powerful forces, such as the well-known Magneto, Erik Lanshere."

"Another group of individuals has an incomplete X gene, which leads to unstable or uncontrollable power after awakening. They constitute the part of the mutant population that makes ordinary people feel most uneasy and fearful."

"And the last part of humanity."

Ye Feng's voice was slightly low.

"The X gene in its body has gradually degenerated over countless generations for various reasons, losing its activity to carry divine power. It is almost impossible for it to awaken naturally on its own."

"This group is what we usually call -- ordinary people."

The screen displays simulated animations of the three gene states in a timely manner to aid understanding.

"In past experiments, the Sanctuary has tried various methods to reactivate the dormant X-rays within ordinary people."

Genes were considered, but the effects were not significant.

Ye Feng changed the subject and continued.

"However, just two days ago, our researchers made a groundbreaking discovery!"

The data chart on the screen suddenly changed, and a curve representing activity began to rise significantly.

"Data shows that the activity levels of the X gene in all volunteers have recently fluctuated abnormally! On average, its activity level has increased two to three times compared to the past!"

Upon hearing this, a chorus of suppressed gasps and whispers erupted from the audience.

Ye Feng raised his hand to signal for quiet. After the noise subsided, he said solemnly, "This means that the probability of new mutants being born naturally in human society will increase dramatically in the near future."

"Considering the recent series of Hell invasions and the continuous emergence of extraordinary phenomena worldwide, the Sanctuary has every reason to believe—"

His gaze swept across the entire room, and he said, word by word, "This is a warning from God! An unprecedented, extraordinary wave is surging towards us!"

"The demons of hell, the gods awakening from their slumber, and even alien civilizations from distant stars—all will one by one take the stage of history in the near future."

"Humanity! Earth! Our shared home, stands on the eve of a storm that will engulf everything!"

Looking at the clear and rigorous data report on the screen, the uproar at the scene could no longer be contained.

The Sanctuary actually produced evidence! And in the form of a scientific report!

"This—how is this possible? I just came to a press conference, how did I become a potential mutant?"

Some reporters looked bewildered and muttered to themselves. Many of them had previously harbored fear or aversion towards mutants, and this news undoubtedly overturned their self-perception.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

Another reporter who was called on stood up eagerly, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Sanctuary previously claimed that it has a way to help awakened mutants perfect and control their abilities, and can also help unawakened ordinary people safely and perfectly awaken their own powers."

"Is this true?"

This question reflects the sentiments of everyone present, and indeed, audiences worldwide.

Countless gazes were focused on Ye Feng, filled with anticipation and longing.

"That is certainly true."

Ye Feng's answer was without any hesitation, clear and certain.

He raised his hand again, and a gentle yet powerful invisible force spread out, instantly calming the commotion and causing everyone to fall silent.

"In order to resolve the increasingly acute conflict between mutants and ordinary humans, and to enable more of our fellow human beings to work together to cope with the coming era of great change, the Sanctuary has been searching for solutions for the past few years."

Ye Feng's voice carried a comforting power and contained a firm belief.

"Finally, we found several feasible paths."

The large screen behind him changed again, displaying a clear tree-like mind map with several eye-catching keywords listed on it:

[Qi], [Magic], [Cosmos] —

"Look, everyone, this is the answer that the Sanctuary has found for all of humanity."

Ye Feng pointed to the screen.

The reporters in the audience looked at these unfamiliar words with mostly puzzled expressions.

"Qi? Magic? Cosmo? What are these?

"These are cultivation systems that lead to the extraordinary."

Ye Feng answered their questions, his voice steady and infectious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Earth is far more mysterious than we imagine. On this planet, besides mutants, there are many other extraordinary forces with long histories hidden."

"They possess ancient cultivation methods, enabling them to elevate their life level and acquire extraordinary power through acquired cultivation."

"The greatest advantage of these cultivation methods lies in their universality. They do not rely on innate awakening and can be mastered through systematic learning and practice. Theoretically, they are applicable to every human being in the world!"

"The methods listed on the screen are the extraordinary paths that have been selected, verified, and confirmed by the Holy Domain to be the most suitable for the general public to begin their cultivation in the current environment."

"The Saints of the Sanctuary, including myself, are all participants in the aforementioned training method."
