Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 291: Dao Ancestor Hongjun Was Before Everything Else

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The dao song was simple to understand, but the meaning behind it was so audacious that it was frightening. It contained the will of the universe, the myriad manifestations of heavens and earth, as well as the boundlessness of the ancient eras.

Other than Feng Lin, Yana and the others were completely stunned.

The intent this dao song emitted was truly thought-provoking.

Chaos came first before the sky!

But Dao Ancestor Hongjun was before everything else!

How could this be?

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun was born before the universe was formed, wouldn’t he be the omniscient creator that was capable of everything?

Leaving aside whether such an existence existed, even if there was one, he would be beyond the universe.

Compared to him, they were less than a grain of sand in the vast space consisting of the stars, beyond the infinite dimension of mankind. It was impossible for there to be any connection with him and them.

But this so-called Dao Ancestor Hongjun was clearly a great expert. There was truly no reason for him to lie to them.

What was the true meaning of this dao song?

The four of them frowned, all of them were in deep contemplation.

Could it be that the word ‘sky’ didn’t refer to this current sky, but something else...?

Yana’s gaze froze, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She moved forward and respectfully asked, “Dao Ancestor, could you be someone who had survived the ancient mythology era?”

Si~

Aris, Yi, and Su Li all gasped.

How could that be?

All ancient mythology civilizations were already destroyed a long long time ago.

It was only after that did the technological era kick in. As time passed, science and technology improved, and humans began to search for spirit particles again, wanting to find back the ancient mythologies as guides to the path of cultivation.

It was highly improbable that someone could have existed since then up until now.

But now, Yana’s conjecture was that this great senior before their eyes was precisely someone from the ancient mythology era. In that case, didn’t it meant that he knew countless secrets about mythology?

Those missing mythological paths as well as great gaps of current mythology knowledge, were those not a secret to him at all?

This was an extremely terrifying thing. If news of this was to spread, the entire humanity in the Interstellar Era would surely be shocked beyond words.

They didn’t dare to believe in this conjecture, but from the information gained from the dao song, a conjecture like this seemed to be closer to the truth.

“That’s right. In ancient times, I was in a life-and-death seclusion. I didn’t expect that after I awoke, the heavens and earth have changed, the calamity of broken laws arrived and the cultivation level of the ten thousand realms dropped to zero. Those on the same path as me have all died, only I existed.” Upon speaking until here, Dao Ancestor Hongjun revealed an expression of regret, lost in remembrance.

Yana and the others speechlessly exchanged glances.

This great senior, how powerful was he?

How long was a single session of seclusion to him? All those from the same generations had passed away due to the calamity and he only awakened after that?

No wonder if they wanted to obtain information from him, they had to use information about mythological ruins to exchange for it. Most probably for someone of his level, only those obscure knowledge of different mythological systems would move him.

He probably wanted to find out the truth about the calamity of broken laws.

Yana and the others had looks of deep thoughts on their faces. They seemed to have understood something.

“I’ll let you all know the mission again. Let things conclude here today.” After speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun no longer spoke. He didn’t wait for Yana and the others to respond, and he directly vanished from this location.

The boss was the boss after all, there was no need for him to waste words.

Feng Lin controlled his Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s clone perfectly, maintaining an aloof and remote attitude. If not, it wouldn’t be so easy to shock this group.

Yana and the others only felt that it was such a pity. They couldn’t help but sigh.

Feng Lin knew it was time for him to speak.

“Let’s go. Dao Ancestor told me to bring you all around for a look at Mythology Planet. Many constructions here were built from Dao Ancestor’s past memories and contained many secrets with regards to the different mythological civilizations of ancient times. It might prove to be of great inspiration to you all.” He smiled.

It wasn’t easy for them to come here, and they naturally didn’t want to return empty-handed.

Yana and the others nodded and followed Feng Lin.

Feng Lin then brought them to tour the planet.

Flights of stairs appeared as the clouds parted. Feng Lin then led them down the stairs.

“This Mythology Planet contains Huaxia Mythology, Greek Mythology, Christianity Mythology, Norse Mythology, India Mythology...there are many different regions. You all can go to any of the regions that interest you. But currently, the strand of Grandmist White Qi you all possess can only last a single day. Beyond the white qi, there’s the red qi, the green qi, allowing you to stay here for a month and up to a year. After you gain the Grandmist Purple Qi, you all would become members of the association and can enter anytime and stay as long as you like to; there would be no restrictions.” Feng Lin stood on the clouds and explained to them.

Yana and the others nodded, noting down this point. After that, they all went to the regions that interest them, and the directions they moved was markedly different.

Yana and Aris naturally walked toward Mount Olympus, the place where gods gathered in Greek Mythology.

For Yi and Su Li, both of them went to the Huaxia Region, yet they went to different areas in the region.

Yi went to the desolate plains, wanting to search for shamanic arts of ancient shamans that used to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

Su Li went to the Ten Thousand Mountain Range located in the Southern Border. He wanted to search for secrets about ‘Mount Qingqiu’ with regards to the demonic races.

A shaman and a demon, both were clearly on seperate paths.

Feng Lin sat cross-legged on the clouds and stared down imperiously, watching the four of them exploring the different corners of Mythology Planet. Their gazes were filled with admiration, deep contemplation, and also enlightenment.

Only when a single day ended did they come back. They had smiles on their faces, feeling that this was not a wasted trip.

Feng Lin laughed but he didn’t ask if they had any harvest or not. He simply changed the topic and started talking about the examination held by the Cosmos Universities. “Are you guys recruited in advance by one of the top ten universities?”

Yana and the others were momentarily speechless.

After some time, Yana spoke. She didn’t conceal anything. “We sisters are already recruited by the Gods University of Rome Federation.

“Me too. I’m recruited by the Kunlun University of Huaxia Star Republic.” Su Li’s calm voice sounded out from under his mask.

“I’m also recruited by Buzhou University,” Yi stated.

The atmosphere instantly grew heavy.

Just after a single exam, their team would have to part ways. All of them actually felt somewhat helpless.

Their team’s performance in the exam was simply too dazzling or they wouldn’t have been recruited in advance.

“It’s good then.” At this moment, Feng Lin actually laughed. “I’m also recruited in advance by the Great Wall University. Seems like all of us will enter the Cosmos Universities; there’s no longer a need for our team to exist. In the future, all of us will go our different directions and enter different schools. Everyone, take care of yourself!”

He clasped his hands and didn’t reveal any other emotions other than one of unconstrained carefreeness.

Each of them already had a future place belonging to them in their respective universities. There wouldn’t be a sense of burden to anyone even if their team was to part ways.

“Take care!” The others nodded as well.

After that, all five of them vanished from the virtual universe.

All of them were clear that although they would part ways, they had already expressed an interest in joining the Mythological Genes Association. There would still be a chance for them to meet in the future!

...

Feng Lin opened his eyes. He was in his residence.

He didn’t waste any time and immediately began to cultivate. He consumed a marrow-cleansing pill first, and his genetic potential surged as he cultivated. +1.6, +1.6,+1.6...

Very soon, three days passed.

Feng Lin opened his eyes as light gleamed within. He didn’t hesitate and directly left, showing no reluctance at all.

When he arrived at the public square, a flying shuttle in the shape of a long sword appeared before him.

Feng Lin boarded it and the flying shuttle then launched into motion, soaring into outer space.

Through the windows of his seat, Feng Lin could see that he was moving further and further away from the golden pyramid formed from the alignment of nine planets. A serene look could be seen in his eyes, as calm as water yet as bright as the stars.

(I came, and I saw.)

(However, I didn’t conquer anything yet!)

(There will be a day when I return here and stand at the peak of the interstellar space. That day definitely wouldn’t be too far away!)
