During this time, he had to make himself strong; otherwise, neither his fate nor that girl's fate would change much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting alone for more than an hour, Ding Huan finally let his mood calm down. He needed to make a plan for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured everything out of his bag. Besides a few books, there was only a property deed. This was a property under his name. Ding Huan knew very well that this house was later sold by his nanny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had neither the opportunity nor the ability to reclaim his house. After learning this news, he was about to leave Earth. This was also the purpose of the Gene Alliance's all-out effort to save him and even perform eye-replacement surgery for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now, he still didn't dare to ask for the house. Showing his face now was just asking for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his wallet from his pocket, which contained his ID card and bank card, as well as a few hundred dollars in cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With genetic mutations and a plummeting population, although online payments were still in use, paper currency was equally favored. Who among those who wandered year-round dared to pin their hopes on a mobile phone balance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not having money didn't matter; he could refine various genetic agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it came to refining genetic agents and understanding gene fusion, who could compare to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't the most popular thing right now longevity genes? The longevity genes on Earth could only extend life by thirty years, but he could refine longevity genetic agents that could extend life by sixty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the longevity genes on Earth didn't even have a grade; they were just the most ordinary low-end genes. He could refine graded longevity genetic agents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the refining methods, he had plenty...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ding Huan thought about how he needed to refine longevity genes, endless types of genes and methods for refining genetic agents suddenly appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had refined many genetic agents in his previous life, he didn't have so many methods and techniques, did he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan remembered the leather scroll he swallowed before he died. That scroll was truly strange, because after swallowing it, he had the information from the scroll in his mind. This kind of bizarre thing was the first time he had encountered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, genetic foundation establishment. He had information about genetic foundation establishment in the scroll he obtained back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become strong, one must achieve genetic foundation establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Ding Huan didn't know how to achieve genetic foundation establishment. He only knew that even on the Changyi Continent, those who could achieve it were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he knew that to achieve genetic foundation establishment, one must have genetic spiritual roots. Those who could achieve it definitely possessed genetic spiritual roots from birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledge about genetic spiritual roots appeared in Ding Huan's mind without warning. He had a feeling that as long as he was given the necessary materials, he could produce a wood-type genetic spiritual root agent right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining methods for genetic spiritual root agents in his mind seemed as if they were etched into his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, he also knew how to extract the various genetic parts needed for genetic spiritual roots from the required species. As for the production method, it was even clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So powerful, Ding Huan muttered to himself. The power he spoke of wasn't the genetic information in the scroll, but how powerful the person who made the scroll was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Perhaps after many more years, this planet will go through another cycle, and genetic spiritual roots will disappear abruptly, just as cultivation spiritual roots disappeared in the previous cycle. I think I can't help anymore. Sigh, let nature take its course...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paragraph that suddenly appeared in his mind made Ding Huan dazed. Was the planet that person spoke of Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't obtain that scroll from Earth, did he? If it was Earth, did that mean Earth would eventually see all life return to zero? And then continue to the next evolutionary cycle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his head a bit dizzy, Ding Huan went to the kitchen and poured cold water over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he have to think about these things? Were these important now? Not important at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing now was that he needed to refine genetic spiritual roots as soon as possible, then fuse with them, and start genetic meditation cultivation to achieve genetic foundation establishment as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, although he was sold by the scavenging old man, he at least saved his life. Who knew if he could survive this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ding Huan thought about genetic cultivation, a series of images appeared in his mind, along with a genetic cultivation method he had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo-Shi Scripture? What a strange name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genetic meditation cultivation method he had managed to get in his previous life seemed much worse than this Luo-Shi Scripture, didn't it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan subconsciously started practicing according to this method. After just a few breaths, he felt a faint stream of heat pour in from his Baihui acupoint and spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this faint stream of heat disappeared without a trace. Clearly, it was useless for him to practice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Ding Huan clenched his fists in excitement. This Luo-Shi Scripture was definitely a top-tier genetic cultivation method. He had just practiced according to this method, and although it was of no use now, just feeling a trace of heat was not to say the Luo-Shi Scripture was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he didn't have genetic spiritual roots now. Once he had them, this trace of heat might very well be converted into his own strength or ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to find the medicinal materials for genetic spiritual roots as soon as possible and then refine the genetic spiritual roots he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to Yujiang University was truly the right choice. Yujiang University was close to Mount Qianluo, and there must be the genetic medicinal materials he needed in Mount Qianluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that it was getting dark, Ding Huan wouldn't have been able to sit still for even a minute and would have headed to Mount Qianluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Qianluo stretched for over a thousand kilometers and was considered one of the top ten mountain ranges in China. Not to mention that it was the era of gene fusion now, even before the genetic mutation, Mount Qianluo was full of dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Mount Qianluo was even more filled with fierce beasts that could take human lives, as well as various mutated man-eating plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan made up his mind that no matter how dangerous it was, he had to go to Mount Qianluo tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his two hundred years of experience surviving in the universe, what kind of dangerous situations hadn't he seen? As long as he was careful and cautious, he should be able to survive in Mount Qianluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait until tomorrow. But the next moment, Ding Huan overturned his own idea. His two hundred years of wandering in the vast universe made him understand better than anyone that harboring luck was just asking for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like a gambler, once there was a first time of luck, there would definitely be a second, and eventually, one would die on that luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed used methods to avoid the crisis of being plotted against, and for a short time, no one noticed that he had come to Yujiang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party was determined to kill him, it wouldn't be difficult to find out that he had come to Yujiang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was getting late. Going to Mount Qianluo at this time was definitely very dangerous. The fact was that even in the daytime, his current strength made going to Mount Qianluo a life-of-nine-deaths situation, but he had to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't go to Mount Qianluo, he had no way to obtain genetic spiritual roots. Without genetic spiritual roots, he couldn't practice. If he couldn't practice, how could he take revenge? How could he survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a ten-death-no-life situation for ordinary people to go to Mount Qianluo, but he was different. He was experienced, and at least he had a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of it, he left. Ding Huan made some inconspicuous marks in his room and then left Yujiang University wearing a mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two things he had to do immediately: first, buy some things for disguise, and second, buy some necessities for entering Mount Qianluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qianjiang Gate restaurant was the best restaurant in Luohe City, and it was crowded every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qianjiang Gate restaurant being crowded wasn't because the dishes were good—of course, the dishes here were indeed the best in Luohe City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were willing to come to Qianjiang Gate restaurant, besides the good food, more importantly, it had the best service and scarce fierce beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth's environment mutated, and a large number of mutated fierce beasts appeared. While these beasts had a powerful impact on human survival, their flesh and blood also allowed martial artists to take their cultivation to the next level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gene fusion had become the mainstream of the era, but the prices of those mature genetic agents were staggering, and not everyone had the ability to fuse with them. So, most people still chose to practice martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one practiced martial arts, eating fierce beast meat had great benefits. It could not only quickly improve a martial artist's physical fitness but also quickly improve a martial artist's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a true internal cultivation method, fierce beast meat could make a martial artist's internal energy surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Youlan proposed holding a graduation party at Qianjiang Gate, also because Qianjiang Gate had fierce beast meat to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to buy a small amount of fierce beast meat and then use this to tell everyone that if they wanted to eat fierce beast meat often, they had to strengthen their own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the 610 private room of Qianjiang Gate, the students of Class 62(3) of the Mutated Species Department of Luohe Upper Martial University had arrived one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Youlan was almost the last one to arrive at the private room. His gaze swept over the lively classmates in the large private room and he said with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone is here, right? Since everyone is here, let's start. Everyone can eat and drink to their heart's content today, and all expenses are on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Wang, Ding Huan doesn't seem to be here,\" Jia Youjian said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their class, he seemed to be the only one who paid attention to Ding Huan. It wasn't that his relationship with Ding Huan was very good, but because they were not only desk mates but also roommates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Huan isn't here? Why?\" Wang Youlan frowned slightly. He remembered that no one had asked for leave saying they wouldn't come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xinwei was also very puzzled. Ding Huan would definitely come tonight, why wasn't he here? No, why was she so sure that Ding Huan would definitely come tonight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's not wait for him, the party starts now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Youlan just let the thought turn in his mind and then threw the matter of Ding Huan not being here aside. To him, whether Ding Huan came or not almost didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Requesting recommendation tickets, today's update ends here, good night friends!) ===== CHAPTER 8 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",2045,"2026-06-17T22:42:55.149Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","eb3a91a42f66bd63f7535b72ff4b8a5adb8f89875971f9d5db67dbce4209b0ca","after-the-myth-chapter-8","after-the-myth-chapter-6",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-myth-cover.jpg"]
