CHAPTER 529: CHAPTER 248: JI LU’S SECRET (6K)_4

And the second outcome...

"Since there’s this gene that can enhance combat power, it must be because there’s a corresponding need.

And the need for immediate combat power can only be because of the appearance of an enemy...

So, calculating from this, maybe when the Starry Sky People were initially modified, it was because they encountered a powerful enemy and urgently needed combat power.

But weren’t there several strong ones?

Unless..."

Those strong ones were not as powerful as she imagined, or the enemy’s strength was extraordinary.

Bai Yi also realized that she seemed to have fallen into a misconception; accomplishing those things does not necessarily require a strong person.

Just like her, she also grew from the 1st Rank, even if at the 1st Rank she could use her superpower to achieve some seemingly advanced abilities.

Just like this gene adjustment, she could do it at the 1st Rank.

The only issue is that, even if the person adjusting genes or constructing a Spirit network is not a strong person, the one responsible for granting power, as a source of power, should still have enough strength.

Moreover, there’s an even more important point, that even if the power is granted in whatever way, the source nonetheless remains that of the strong person.

If dispersing the power could win the battle, then wouldn’t gathering it in one body achieve victory even faster?

The only explanation Bai Yi could think of was that the strong person’s condition was not good, or maybe not even a "strong person" but rather a special source of power...

If it’s that this power source can only be used indirectly in this way, then it makes sense.

Using this deduction, one can further infer the time point when the ancestors of the Starry Sky People were modified.

After all, the combat power achieved by borrowing power would inevitably not be too strong, and seeing the Starry Sky People now spread across the Starry Sky, it must mean that the Starry Sky People’s ancestors were the ultimate victors.

Then the enemy back then was definitely not too powerful.

This space transfer station journey also allowed her to understand the civilizations of the Starry Sky, roughly discerning the gaps between different levels of civilization.

As long as they are different levels of civilization, they can easily crush lower-level civilizations; the higher the level of civilization, the more severe the oppression on lower-level civilizations.

Considering comprehensively, Bai Yi inferred that when the Starry Sky People initially made contact with space, they encountered an interstellar civilization.

A certain planet where the origin of the Starry Sky People lay was invaded, and the strong individuals among them initiated self-rescue, attempting to mobilize the power of all to counter the invasion with collective Transcendence.

Afterwards, the Starry Sky People entered the Starry Sky smoothly after their victory, continuously expanding, splitting, and aggregating into the current scale.

This also explains why the current Starry Sky People all follow the same template.

As for the lack of records, according to Xiao Teng’s explanation, the continuous development of the Starry Sky experienced countless chaotic periods, so the absence of corresponding records is normal.

"However, even if some smart people inferred this outcome, it probably wouldn’t stir up much of a wave..."

Bai Yi thought with emotion about how, before she became a Lord, didn’t tens of billions of people also share a common ancestor?

But in the end, those who wanted to fight fiercely did so regardless, sparing no effort for their interests, what does a bit of prestige matter?

Moreover, there’s also the possibility of a better scenario, where the enemy the ancestors of the Starry Sky People faced back then was not insurmountable, and simply hoped to use this to elevate everyone to Transcendence.

In all fairness, if it were her choice, even if she faced a powerful enemy, even if she could solve it herself, whether to better protect her people or just for a better future, she might also grant such a modification.

After all, if it were before she became a Lord and encountered various Transcendent powers, having such deity-like power might have been a scramble...

"I still have to test first!"

In the network, messages from volunteers for the experiment came in, and Bai Yi was already eager to try.

Although the origins and history of the Starry Sky People have little to do with her, she’s very interested in the modifications made to the Starry Sky People back then.

It’s not only because the ability is similar to hers, but also because of the gene itself...

...

Research report on the origins of human ancestors: ...By consolidating the genes of humans from different star domains, and according to the latest technology detection results from the Jiang family Gene Technology Group, the genetic similarity of Starry Sky Humans is almost 100%, which can prove that before the great chaos, all humans may have originated from the same planet...
