From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

At least in his investigation, it had not affected the genetic level; it was just a special energy affecting the physical body, which could indeed be broken.

Perhaps if there were more of this energy, it could influence evolution at the genetic level?

"What about the second method?"

Zheng Zha held onto hope and didn't want to simply cripple the vampires' abilities.

Putting aside whether he's strong or handsome, just upgrading him to the Viscount level cost him a lot of reward points and side quests.

If it were just "washed away" by the river—

It breaks my heart!

"The second method involves constructing magic circuits..."

"Let's choose this one."

Zheng Zha hurriedly replied, "A combination of East and West is invincible!"

Jiang Liu was silent for a moment, then said, "This relates to the experiment I mentioned—"

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Zha was stunned.

"I only have a general understanding of Western alchemy, but don't worry, I also have the techniques for alchemy, and I can assure you that this technique is extremely powerful, so powerful that it's possible to assimilate the life of others!" Jiang Liu tempted Zheng Zha.

The golden branch on the iron rod, which most likely originated from the divine tree, enabled Jiang Liu to comprehend the principles of alchemy and human transmutation. After learning Western medicine from He Anxia and combining it with his basic alchemy skills, he could say that he had a complete understanding of seventy or eighty percent of the path of alchemy.

However, it would be somewhat unrigorous to use oneself as a test subject.

Jiang Liu was also unwilling to let his friends do this experiment.

Seeking Quanxing—

I'm afraid of going too far.

So the idea was shelved.

But now there is a perfect experimental subject!

Zheng Zha!

The internal energy clashes with the vampire energy. After cultivating the Small Heavenly Circuit, the vampire energy becomes superfluous. You either have to dissipate it or try alchemy. It's a choice between two options!

Furthermore—

Aren't the Reincarnators just "extraterrestrial demons"?

Even if they are extraterrestrial demons, do we need to consider any humanitarian issues?

Absolutely not!

Zheng Zha stared blankly, questioning his existence: After returning to reality from *Alien*, he was tricked by Chu Xuan; before that, he was tricked by the Main God; now it seems he'll be tricked by characters in the plot again...

What sins did I commit in my past life?

Why torture yourself like this?

Finally, he asked, "What does it mean to assimilate the lives of others?"

"This alchemical technique was derived from vampires and involves human transmutation and faith. As far as I know, on a smaller scale, it's like vampires creating followers; on a larger scale—"

Jiang Liu recalled the effects of the sacred tree on Nathan Island: "It can merge with the life force of others, control their spirit, and never betray them."

"Sounds pretty good, huh?" Zheng Zha wondered why Jiang Liu would call such a powerful technique "weird."

Was she "teasing" him?

Or is there something else?

# Chapter 331 The Forbidden Fruit of God and the Gene Lock

"Want to give it a try?"

"I can only guarantee that your life will not be in danger. As long as you have a breath left, I can save you."

With a method to "avoid death and prolong life," Jiang Liu naturally dared to make such a guarantee.

"try!"

Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble: "Fortune favors the bold!"

So Jiang Liu didn't hold back and used his magnetic field to control the mass of vampire energy to begin constructing the corresponding magic circuits for Zheng Zha.

According to Jiang Liu's current understanding of alchemy, alchemy, like Qi refining, also has a cyclical nature, or energy circulation, and involves the five internal organs. However, unlike Qi refining, which treats the human body as a macroscopic natural ecosystem, alchemy is closer to a practical factory or production workshop.

In other words, once you learn it, you don't need to spend time cultivating your life force; you can immediately begin alchemy, casting spells, and so on.

The reason is simple.

The so-called magic circuit is based on the central nervous system of the brain and spine. It uses Qi to connect the nerve nodes throughout the body, inside and out, to form unique energy circulation paths. This is the magic circuit. When multiple magic circuits are combined together, they form alchemical array patterns.

Magic circuits and alchemical runes are like extensions of the human nervous system, a mimicry of the nervous system!

While Qi cultivation also involves the nervous system, it tends to use intention to drive the circulation of Qi throughout the body. However, alchemy is different; it is directly linked to the nervous system. Therefore, once the magic circuit is completed, it is easier to perform magic and alchemy.

The simplest way is to strengthen the muscles in your body!

As can be seen from the Nathan Island arc, a large part of the abilities of Western superhumans are manifested in their muscle strength, rather than the diverse abilities of Eastern Qi cultivation.

What Jiang Liu is doing now is extracting the vampire energy from the blood core in Zheng Zha's head, and according to the principles of human alchemy he has comprehended from the golden branches of the divine tree, connecting all the nerve nodes inside and outside Zheng Zha's body to form a complex and perfect alchemical array.

When Zheng Zha felt that the vampire energy seemed to permeate his entire body in some way, yet without conflicting with his internal energy circulation, he suddenly heard a prompt from the main god in his mind:

[By Jiang Liu, a character in the story, I learned a technique called "Forbidden Fruit of God," which is derived from one of the greatest crystallizations of ancient human witchcraft. Based on vampire energy and spiritual power, it connects all the nerve nodes in the body to construct a complete magic circuit and alchemical array, which can comprehensively enhance physical qualities and greatly improve immortality!]

Provided there is sufficient energy, even a shattered brain or heart can be repaired! Note: If willpower is weak, there is a possibility of losing some memories!

If combined with the power of faith, believers can be recruited and a divine kingdom established!

Technique Level: S-rank!

The bloodline of the vampire viscount has mutated and combined with alchemical runes, rendering his title and rank ineffective and increasing his growth potential.

Calculation in progress...

Upon breaking through to the third stage of the gene lock, the vampire bloodline will undergo a corresponding transformation and enhancement, helping the reincarnator perfectly control the first and second stage gene locks, and involving some abilities of the intermediate stage of the fourth stage gene lock. This allows for the recombination and alteration of one's own genes, adjusting one's metabolism to maintain a long lifespan...

Should the special techniques be recalled?

One B-grade side quest, worth 5000 reward points!

"Recycle your mother's ass!"

Zheng Zha cursed inwardly.

The cultivation technique is valued at S-level, and it involves the fourth-order gene lock level. The recycling price is only a B-level side quest and 5,000 reward points?

Profiteer!

"Calm down, I don't think I hurt you, did I? Why are you so agitated?"

Jiang Liu pressed down on Zheng Zha's chest. "It's not over yet. Although your internal energy and vampire energy will no longer conflict, you can only do two things at a time at the moment, and you can't perfectly combine the two. I have another idea. Do you want to try again?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha swallowed hard, pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't resist saying, "Come on, I can take it!"

"Well!"

Jiang Liu chuckled, and the hand on Zheng Zha's chest rose and fell, the magnetic field of his body constantly drawing Zheng Zha's vampire energy and internal force to converge at his heart, but without allowing the two to come into direct contact. Instead, it formed a peculiar talisman in a rotating manner.

The talisman combines elements of innate runes and alchemical array patterns, penetrating the heart both inside and out. With each heartbeat, Zheng Zha's blood flow accelerated, turning red and hot, directly unlocking the second stage of the gene lock. A scorching aura erupted, but with the coordination of his breathing, he gradually managed to control this power.

Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, allowing for unobstructed airflow during each breath.

[The character Jiang Liu taught him the technique: Hunyuan Yiqi Method! This method originated from Zheng Lun and Chen Qi's "Hum and Ha" breaths. It was originally a technique for targeting the soul, but Jiang Liu modified it by experiencing the body's rhythm when breathing natural air, and used it to regulate the unity of the body's organs and energy circulation!]

In the process of determining the level of cultivation technique...

判定结果：

Between Class D and Class S!

For ordinary people, learning this method can only maintain the harmony of the five internal organs and a clear mind, without involving the application of extraordinary powers; however, those who have mastered both cultivation systems can ensure that the cultivation systems do not conflict!

Note: A special technique is required to create a talisman as a medium; the type of talisman varies from person to person!

[Should we reclaim the Primordial Chaos Technique and Talisman Medium 1?]

[Value: One D-rank side quest, 500 reward points!]

"no!"

Zheng Zha chose not to recycle.

Although the "Primordial Qi Method" has a somewhat special level, with its lower and upper limits being two extremes, its ability to regulate multiple cultivation systems in the human body alone makes it worth S-level in his eyes!

Just give me a D and 500 bonus points?

Who are you trying to insult!

"All right."

Jiang Liu released his grip, looked Zheng Zha over, and said leisurely, "Besides the internal energy and vampire energy built on Qi, it seems there is another power in your body that can greatly enhance your perception and give you a significant degree of control over about 90% of your flesh and blood?"

"That's a genetic lock!"

At this moment, Zheng Zha had fully experienced the benefits of his internal energy completing its circulation and the vampire energy flowing through his entire body—

It's more than ten times stronger than before!

Therefore, he did not hide anything, nor did he care whether the main god would deduct reward points, and said frankly: "This concept was first proposed by Chu Xuan, which can unleash the potential power of human genes!"

Tier 1 grants a powerful combat instinct and the ability to sense danger.

I reached the second tier in the last match. This allowed me to control nearly 90% of my body's movements, greatly enhancing my strength, but the side effects were significant…

As for the third tier, none of us have reached it, so we don't know.

However, when you were teaching me the alchemy technique "Forbidden Fruit of God," the Supreme God hinted that once I break through to the third tier, I will be able to perfectly control the first and second tier gene locks, and will also have access to some abilities of the intermediate stage of the fourth tier gene lock, including the ability to recombine and alter my own genes, and to possess a long lifespan…”
