Chapter 493: True Essence of Transformation

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Divine dragon emerges, auspicious clouds manifest!

The moment this divine dragon of Huaxia appeared, there was a surge of water content in the surroundings. Moisture began to gather over.

The entire laboratory was filled with colored clouds as well as mist, which caused people to not be able to see clearly what was before them.

The moment the divine dragon appeared, it instantly began to ‘swim’ in the clouds as it bellowed continuously.

The dragon roars echoed through space and took a long time before they faded away.

As it danced, the clouds churned. Lightning flashed as storms began to build, filling the lab with the breeze of wind.

Dragons could be large or small, and they could soar or conceal themselves. Large dragons could breathe out clouds; small dragons were capable of concealment. They could both soar through the universe or submerge themselves within the waves...

The divine dragons of Huaxia were different from the evil dragons of Western Mythology.

Some of the Dragons of Western Mythology were merely huge winged lizards, a type of monster that would invoke fear in the hearts of those who saw it.

Meanwhile, Huaxia divine dragons were innately divine creatures. The moment they were born, phenomena would appear all over in heaven and earth.

Although the divine dragon in the lab was only two meters long and seemed pocket-sized, its essence was of divinity.

Feng Lin lowered his eyes, feeling great waves of shock in his heart.

Were these creation cells truly the cells of the creation god that had the ability to transform into all creatures?

It first became a Balrog and then into a beautiful elf. Now, it transformed into a divine dragon, seemingly without limitations...

One must know that the Huaxia Mythology System and Western Mythology System were two completely different main systems of the universe.

These creation cells could effortlessly transform into anything in different mythological systems. This ability was truly frightening now that he thought about it.

Feng Lin’s body began to tremble.

Obtain it, he had to obtain it!

His spiritual instinct kept reminding him.

These creation cells would be of extraordinary benefit to his future. He must not miss it.

Staring at the divine dragon turning back into a meatball, he noted that the energy fluctuations also began to dim. Feng Lin’s eyes flashed as some thoughts flashed through his mind.

As long as someone inputted the command, the creation cells could transform into any mythological form. But every time it did so, huge amounts of energy would be exhausted.

This was logical and illogical at the same time.

The law of energy conservation was the most basic law in the universe. And consuming energy for each transformation tied in with the laws of physics.

However, when this was placed on the creation cells, it didn’t seem suitable.

Since these cells were the cells of the creation god, they should have the characteristics that could surpass the basic laws in the universe. They could create something from nothing, including energy and all lifeforms in the world.

But now, the cells were obeying the law of energy conservation. This clearly indicated that the creation cells weren’t as powerful as what he had imagined.

The so-called creation cells were just the source code of mythological genes. They could only reassemble the cells through inputs and transform into the mythological form that was inputted.

Genetic potential + 8,200!

In an instant, given Feng Lin’s attainments in mythological theory, he quickly understood the crux of this matter and his genetic potential immediately soared.

Although he had deciphered its secret, its creation process was still a riddle.

Upon thinking of this, he tried to probe. “If you say that the creation cells are the base of all lifeforms, and the codes imprinted in it are like data models, then you are a multi-dimensional printer, right? The so-called mythological lifeforms are merely unique objects you ‘printed’ out through inputting data into the creation cells!”

“Mhm?” When Kennard heard this, he was visibly shocked.

He didn’t expect that just after a short moment of display, Feng Lin had already seen through so many secrets.

Feng Lin’s attainments in mythological theory were much deeper and more profound than what he had imagined earlier. At the very least, Feng Lin’s understanding was not in any way inferior to him.

Upon seeing his look of wariness, Feng Lin laughed silently in his heart. After that, his thoughts flashed as he suddenly discovered an area that he had neglected earlier.

Creation cells had the ability to effortlessly transform its shape. Wasn’t this complementary with his Sun Wukong Mythological Path?

Sun Wukong was also known as the heart monkey. His spirit and thoughts had the ability of endless transformations.

If he could see through the secrets of the creation cells, wouldn’t that allow him to transform into any mythological creatures and also possess their true strength?

That must be the true essence behind Sun Wukong’s legendary ability, the Seventy-Two Transformations! The true essence of endless transformation, capable of transforming into anything in the world!

Although he had awakened the Sun Wukong Gene and was capable of transformation, he merely would have the external form of what he wanted to transform into. He wouldn’t have the true power level.

It was one thing for ordinary animals.

But a powerful mythological lifeform would have different transcendent essence and would be hard to replicate.

For this point, the creation cells could solve everything. It could perfectly change into any mythological forms.

Genetic potential +6,800!

Subconsciously, Feng Lin understood the crux of the matter, yet it was tough for him to link that with his understanding.

Only the surge in his potential represented the truth.

The Sun Wukong Mythological Path combined with the creation cells, how much potential would it have?

Simply inestimable!

Feng Lin started to tremble just by thinking about it. Even goosebumps surfaced on his skin.

Since this was the case, Feng Lin no longer masked it. He didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke, “What must I pay in order to get the technology of creating this cell?”

“Knowledge is priceless. The most valuable of all is naturally mythological knowledge, and it naturally can only be exchanged with other mythological knowledge. The creation cells are my greatest achievement in this lab. If you wish to exchange it, you have to take out all of your mythological knowledge.” Kennard smiled confidently, seemingly knowing that the creation cells were something Feng Lin had to obtain no matter what. He didn’t hesitate to quote an astronomical price.

When Feng Lin heard this, his expression instantly sank.

(The greed of this man knows no bounds!)

He had knowledge of all the mythological systems in the world. And no matter how valuable the creation cells were, they were not enough to exchange for it.

Although he truly wanted the creation cells, Feng Lin’s desire for them had not reached a state of frenzy yet. But even so, it would be too much of a pity to give up on them.

Therefore, he mixed the truth with lies. “Other than the remaining information about the Norse Mythological System, I still have the majority of information about the Japanese Mythological System. I can only give you this much. I want to use them to exchange for the creation technique of creation cells, as well as the original-generation gene code!”

The original-generation gene code touched on the ultimate technique with regard to combining mythological genes. As long as one mastered this technique, they could easily deduce and create any type of mythological form.

Upon seeing Feng Lin taking out knowledge of two mythological systems, Kennard’s eyes gleamed.

Mythological knowledge was extremely fragmented. Hence, they were priceless.

These two mythological systems had remnant pieces of knowledge floating around. However, information about them was truly too little.

Kennard didn’t think too deeply. He continued to ask, “Does this include your own mythological path? If it doesn’t, it’s impossible for me to exchange the creation cells with you!”

Greed like this was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!

When Feng Lin heard this, his expression instantly turned ice-cold.

Seeing the protruding eyes of Kennard as well as the drool at the side of his mouth, how could Feng Lin still not understand? Gaining knowledge of other mythological systems was merely of secondary importance to this man. What he truly wanted was Feng Lin’s Sun Wukong Mythological Path.

He was truly the epitome of greed!

One’s mythological path was the greatest secret of any cultivator. It involved one’s secret of transcendence and would never be told to anyone else.

Once it was revealed, wouldn’t others know of his own foundation and weaknesses? Wouldn’t that bring him increased trouble and danger?

Although the creation cells were rare, the benefits it would bring Feng Lin were still unknown!

Moreover, Sun Wukong Mythological Path was a genuine, bonafide paragon mythological path!

The values of the two didn’t match at all.

Feng Lin wanted to obtain the creation cells very much, but the desire for them hadn’t reached the extent where he would lose his mind.

“Sir, you are too greedy. If you are determined on your ludicrous request, it seems like we have nothing more to talk about.” Feng Lin openly spoke, his voice was filled with resolve.

The creation cells might be of great use to him, but he wasn’t in a hurry to obtain them now.

Right now, he already roughly knew the fundamental principles behind the creation cells. With his own trove of mythological knowledge, Feng Lin didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to figure this out. It was only a question of time.

Upon seeing Feng Lin not wasting time and turning to depart, Kennard’s expression grew extremely unsightly. He had estimated things wrongly.

He overestimated the attraction the creation cells posed to Feng Lin and underestimated Feng Lin’s determination.

Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it!

If Feng Lin really left here, it meant that he would never have the chance to find out the mental/spirit-type mythological path Feng Lin was walking on!

His countenance drastically transformed, becoming as sinister as a ghost as he maliciously spoke, “Do you think that my gene origin laboratory is a place where you can come and go as you wish to? Now that you’ve seen the secrets of the creation cells, it is impossible for you to leave unless you reveal your own mythological path to me!”

As the sound of his voice faded, a strange mental fluctuation gushed forth as this mad scientist began to input commands into his id microchip.

ROAR! BOOM! SHRIEK!!...

Those artificially created monsters in the life cabins began to open their gleaming red eyes. They instinctively roared and howled.

The doors of the glass cabins opened.

Numerous mythological monsters climbed out from the life cabins under control. They then surrounded Feng Lin, making sure that he had no way to escape.
