Chapter 908: I Really Won't Be a Human Anymore

Meanwhile, in the Cosmic Garden.

Young Shi Ji, witnessing this scene, found it hard to imagine. This system was simply terrifying, truly unfathomable, based on quantum laws...

"Is this the legacy system of your lineage, Sister?" Shi Ji was greatly astonished by this sight, her eyes shining brightly. Every powerful and ancient legacy system in the universe possessed inherited memories and cultivation methods. To her, the inherited memories of the Cthulhu race were precisely this terrifying.

"Sister, I want to learn too," she said coaxingly.

"If you want to learn, I can certainly teach you," Medusa simply smiled. "Although you can integrate Cthulhu genes, you cannot become a composite creature like me. You will only possess the Cthulhu's exclusive evil psychic energy... but you can still cultivate quantum martial arts." After all, this quantum cultivation system was derived from her Cthulhu psychic energy bloodline. It is a special psychic energy cultivation method that can sense quantum phenomena.

"Of course I know that integrating the bloodline won't turn me into a Cthulhu..." Shi Ji nodded in understanding. After all, integrating genes from other races is certainly not as effective as being the original race; even the resulting forms would be different. For example, if others integrated Iron-based genes, would they grow into enormous Iron-based life forms like them? Naturally not. At most, their own bodies would ironize, turning them into iron people... In this case, this gene works much the same way.

"By the way, Sister, have you cultivated this quantum martial art? Could you demonstrate it for me?" Shi Ji asked.

Medusa paused, then shook her head. "I haven't formally cultivated it yet. After all, I have too many things to cultivate. I haven't even had time to fully cultivate this body. How could I possibly have time to pursue the Yin-Yang resonance of martial arts and entangle a Cthulhu quantum combat body?"

Indeed. Having an additional quantum combat body would double her own potential. However, the amount of cultivation required would increase significantly. It was as if she was constantly focused on late-game strategies, advancing further and further down the path of 'ultimate late-game' development. Just by looking at the quantum martial arts of this unusual civilization, one could tell that it inherited Medusa's 'late-game' spirit. It was unimaginably weak in its early stages; Eight-tier deities could barely begin to utilize it, and its full power would only be unleashed on the path to the Ninth Tier.

"However, I had them use the cloning factory to clone an arm for me, and I barely managed to complete a partial resonance..." She made a delicate, jade-white girl's arm appear in the void. Her first reaction upon seeing it was to clone a part of herself and attempt the Yin-Yang resonance. "Although it's an inferior one, it can still demonstrate a few things."

She extended her hand and flexed her palm. The other hand, in the void, also flexed its palm in unison.

"Is this quantum entanglement? Like another self from a parallel dimension! Instantaneous synchronization, ignoring space and transcending the speed of light." Young Shi Ji clapped happily and suddenly realized, "So, the senior Cthulhu Qiu Bai from before also cultivated such powerful martial arts to traverse the universe unopposed and be unrivaled!"

Upon hearing this, Medusa's mind reeled. She recalled the stone steles from earlier, especially the last line:

After forty thousand years of age, unhindered by physical form, even falling petals and plucked leaves could serve as weapons, piercing planets. From then on, with diligent cultivation, gradually advancing to a realm where nothingness surpassed existence. Forgetting the Dao, thus becoming the Dao, directly entering the Ninth Tier, unrivaled in the universe.

So that's it! At this moment, the Cthulhu lineage cultivation method she had guided into creation, utilizing the Crystal Wall System universe, was actually not a creation, but rather... a revival!

"I merely revived this cultivation system... And before, Rennimansgar didn't suspect that I was possessing someone else's body because I already had the quantum martial arts system at that time. It then believed that I had inherited the Cthulhu's memory and cultivation legacy, whereas someone who possesses a body cannot inherit memory legacies." She felt her heart pound with fright. She had narrowly escaped disaster! Before, she hadn't known Rennimansgar was an Iron-based life form and had thus escaped a great calamity. Who knew that she had already unwittingly escaped a coming death even earlier than that...

"Thankfully, I successfully revived the ancient Cthulhu cultivation system, effectively usurping the magpie's nest," she thought to herself, glancing towards the study inside the courtyard.

Xu Zhi was still in the study, researching. He felt that life was just so difficult. Some things were right before his eyes, but he could only look at them.

"I have already perfected five genes: the human immortal gene, the whole-race gene, the elemental true energy gene, the inner space gene, and the demonic core gene..." He sat in his chair, resting his chin in his hand, deep in thought. "But this gene right before me looks incredibly powerful, and I want to cultivate it. What should I do? Should I abandon being human?"

Xu Zhi felt a little distressed as he looked at the human gene. For the sake of a so-called 'substitute body,' is it truly worth abandoning my humanity? The other genes were difficult to abandon, as they were all extremely powerful core genes. Currently, only the immortal gene was of no immediate use to him... Although he, like Medusa, Di Qi, and others, was using a Mother River civilization to develop a cultivation system corresponding to this immortal gene, and even life-burning techniques had appeared, it had not yet truly matured and perfected.

"My lifespan is still very long; I don't need to consider death." Xu Zhi pondered and felt this was a good option. He could reintegrate it later if needed. After all, he was a five-gene Zerg hero, unlike others who could freely replace or alter genes... However, for his cultivation, there would be a significant loss, equivalent to severing that path of gene cultivation.

"But it's still acceptable," Xu Zhi mused. "After all, the cultivation method for the immortal gene hadn't developed into a complete system in the first place, so there's practically no loss in severing it. Moreover, I intend to walk the path to the Ninth Tier, which is incredibly long. Removing half of the immortal gene's dormant state would essentially halve the time required." He weighed his options repeatedly. He felt that removing it in the short term, and then cultivating the path to the Ninth Tier, was the best choice; the quantum gene would be a suitable replacement for that gene. What's more, they were entering a 'new era,' and if he didn't keep up, he would seem to fall behind.

"I can truly abandon my humanity." He suddenly made up his mind, his expression turning strange. "I also want to cultivate a substitute body. One must know that a quantum combat body, due to its characteristics, would be more powerful than the main body in combat, as well as more convenient and faster... Furthermore, the God of Creation might truly be related to the quantum system... It would be much more convenient for me to appear as the God of Creation in the future."

His gaze drifted into the distance, towards the Crystal Wall System universe. "They will be in seclusion for two days to cultivate, entangling a true self in a parallel universe within the chaos. I will also use these two days to cultivate a substitute body... a true God of Creation, perhaps?"

Xu Zhi looked at their Scripture Repository, and some of the conceptual techniques within, which were still theoretical and half-finished future cultivation methods, gave him some novel ideas.
