Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 163: Mythological Forum

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Mythological Forum!

This was the largest cultivation forum in the entire interstellar space. Countless cultivators would discuss their knowledge and experience regarding cultivation there.

Interstellar humans were all on their respective mythological paths. If there was a complete pathway, the cultivators would be clearer of each evolutionary route, and their future would be boundlessly bright. Cultivators on such a pathway were usually envied by the vast majority of others.

As long as one’s talent was high enough, they would be able to smoothly continue cultivating down their path until they reached the realm where they could dominate the starry space.

For those interstellar aristocrat clans, the number of those who possessed a complete evolutionary mythological pathway could be counted on one hand. For those who had a complete path, they started to rise extremely quickly when humanity first began cultivating and became overlords of the starry space with a single leap.

Other than those few complete mythological paths, the vast majority were all incomplete as they lacked too much knowledge. Without a predecessor to guide the path, the cultivators on the incomplete paths could only explore themselves and forcibly evolve their genes into the ones they thought were right. This was an extremely dangerous practice.

For light injuries, their cultivation bases would suffer setbacks. For heavy injuries, their genes might even collapse as they became cripples. In extreme cases, they might even die.

Now, all the mythological knowledge humanity possessed had been excavated from ancient ruins, and they were severely lacking in content.

There were huge blank gaps everywhere with regards to the various mythological systems of different civilizations. The interstellar humans had to fill up the gaps themselves.

This mythological forum was precisely a forum to allow cultivators who had experienced different things to share their knowledge and experience freely.

This was an internet Q&A community that connected cultivators from all around the universe which allowed the forum to be filled with all sorts of information.

As long as you wished to answer something, you could visit the forum and search through it.

However, all this knowledge wasn’t free. There might be some cultivation knowledge that was commonly shared. But those valuable cultivation secrets were priceless in value; one had to pay enough star coins to obtain them.

Knowledge was priceless.

Mythological knowledge was priceless upon priceless.

“Is this the mythological-version of Quora?” Feng Lin mused.

However, he came here not to get answers. On the contrary, he came here to answer questions.

The greatest unique characteristic of the mythological forum was that there was a special community with specialists named “Mythology Great V(s)” existing.

The people there understood mythological knowledge and would guide people in their cultivation. Through answering questions, they would be able to earn large amounts of star coins.

But with regards to mythological knowledge, who would be able to compare to Feng Lin?

Feng Lin was simply a natural-born Mythology Great V.

He could completely depend on this advantage to earn star coins in the mythological forum.

However, no one was following him yet. It was better for him to start small by answering bits and pieces of the questions of others as he earned fame for himself.

Some people were too poor. They had no way to pay large amounts of money to ask those Great V specialists. Hence, they would usually offer a reward for a question to attract different people to answer. If in the end they found an answer they were satisfied with, they would send the money over.

Behind this transaction, the forum’s A.I. would monitor everything. There was no need to worry about any cases of deceit.

Although the offered reward wasn’t high, no matter how tiny a mosquito is, it is also meat. Right now, Feng Lin didn’t have the qualifications to demand anything.

The most important thing for him now was to build up fame.

For the specialists in the Mythology Great V community, as long as one had enough fame, they could have anything.

First, he had to register an ID.

Feng Lin didn’t bother to think too much and directly inputted two words. “Hongjun”.

“Registration completed. Hongjun, welcome to the Mythological Forum!” A notification rang out.

Feng Lin’s eyes flashed. He knew that his idea was right. At the start when he knew about his overwhelming advantage on mythological knowledge, he had already searched the internet.

Humanity had rediscovered stories about “Pan Gu”, “Fuxi”, “Nuwa”, and a portion of the various mythological stories about the different gods.

However, nobody knew about the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

One must know that even in the era before all myths and legends disappeared, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already an extremely mysterious existence that only appeared very briefly in stories like the ‘Investiture of the Gods’.

As to Hongjun’s origin and how he succeeded in his Dao... all these were unsolvable mysteries.

Even Feng Lin had no idea, let alone the people of this era. They had long since lost all records about Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Before this, when Feng Lin established the Mythological Gene Association, he gave himself the name ‘Lord Hongjun’ because he knew about this point.

Now in the Mythological Forum, he also used the same name for his ID. As expected, things were the same as his ID in the virtual university ‘Wukong’—no one had used it before.

Feng Lin silently marveled at how lucky he was!

With a good name for his id, he felt that this was a good omen.

After awakening the Spirituality Gene, Feng Lin’s foresight was extremely powerful. He felt that it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to become a Mythology Great V.

He opened up the interface of the Mythological Forum and started to browse through it. He discovered that there were countless posts here but they could roughly be classified into four types: “Wealth”, “Companion”, “Law”, “Earth”. These four words were precisely the four critical components of cultivation.

These simple four words consisted of the true logic of cultivation.

Wealth equaled to cultivation resources.

Without wealth, no matter how high your talent was, you would be nothing but an ordinary mortal without enough cultivation resources to nurture and support your growth.

In the Ancient Earth Era, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Sun Lutang—these people were at the peak of martial arts, possessing extremely profound skills. However, they were still unable to break through the limits of human’s natural lifespan and eventually died.

No matter how great your skill was, you were unable to go against the heavens.

If there were no spiritual substances like cultivation resources, even supreme geniuses would have no way to become extraordinary.

Hence, the word, “Wealth”, was the hottest section of the Mythological Forum.

Feng Lin clicked in only to see a flood of posts. There were also many replies to each post and were all with regard to the transaction of cultivation resources.

“Buying spirit crystals in bulk! One for a million star coins! If keen, please contact... – King Purchaser”.

“Selling fire-bellied salamander scales, 10,500 star coins for one portion!... – Beast Hunter 123”

“Mid-martial basic-grade genetic potions for sale. I also have a Transformation Potion, the highest bidder wins! – Medicine Demon Zero”

...

Feng Lin browsed through the posts. The replies were extremely lively.

For a moment, he felt as though he had entered a city’s food market; everything was bustling.

“Companion” referred to dao companions. “Laws” referred to cultivation arts and secret techniques. “Earth” referred to the various cultivation-based powers.

The content for each section was naturally different.

Feng Lin skimmed through “Wealth”; he didn’t spend too much time on this. After that, he clicked into the “Laws” section.

This section was divided into “cultivation arts and secret techniques”, “martial arts”, “experience”, “insights” and many smaller segments. It also gave an introduction to the various methods of cultivation.

This was the place with the greatest number of offered rewards.

Feng Lin focused and started to search.

The more questions he answered, the more fame he would accumulate about his mythological knowledge. Then he would be able to easily attract the attention of others. There was no need to doubt that he would be able to become a Mythology Great V very quickly too.

He clicked into the first offered reward question. This was a question that offered 10,000 star coins as a reward and had attracted many people to browse it. However, no one managed to claim the reward yet. Clearly, those who had tried to answer before this didn’t have the correct answer.

What question is it exactly? Is it really so difficult?

Feng Lin felt curious in his heart. He discovered that the question was posed by a person with the id “A fatty with a cultivation dream”.

When he saw the content, Feng Lin involuntarily laughed. This question was simply too marvelous...

“Sincerely asking this question. Since young, I’ve awakened the Obese Gene and my weight reached over 500 kilograms. Now, I can’t even walk properly. Everyone says that I am trash. Do I have any hope? Is there any mythological path that can allow me to become a genetic cultivator? We can slowly discuss the reward if you find the 10,000 star coins insufficient.”

Below the question, there was even a JPG file denoting helplessness.
