Chapter 1646 - 978: Gaia’s Rejection

Chapter 1646: Chapter 978: Gaia’s Rejection

It wasn’t until several kilometers away that everyone felt as if they had come back to life.

They all gazed at the energy vortex with a hint of excitement and thrill.

"Now that Master has achieved a breakthrough in genetic recombination perfection, reaching the Star God Realm, isn’t he invincible?"

"Our Dragon Country has never heard of anyone breaking through to the Star God Realm; with this breakthrough, can Master walk unhindered across Blue Star?"

"Does that mean we can check out the plateau areas? The terrain is higher there, so even if floods erupt and water levels rise, it shouldn’t be easily submerged. There might be a lot of land over there."

"That’s right, I wonder if any armies have relocated over there." Wang Tianyi also chimed in.

At this point, the few of them exchanged glances, their expressions complicated.

If there are indeed still armies, they’re probably ruling on their own, just like them.

In summary, the national system really exists in name only now.

Currently, everywhere operates on an island-based system.

Regardless of what they think, presently, Liang Yuan, located in the energy core, furrowed his brows.

In the silver Giant Ape form, his brow furrowing didn’t show his eyebrows, only the wrinkles on his brow.

Liang Yuan felt the energy within him surging like a vast ocean, nearly a hundred times more than his previous gene recombination form!

Before, his body was only a hundred meters, but now, after a 100% genetic recombination, his body size unexpectedly surged tenfold, reaching a kilometer scale!

However... this is still not the Star God Level!

Because Liang Yuan didn’t feel the presence of his Heart Core and Brain Core!

"Why haven’t I formed my Heart Core and Brain Core?"

"But I’ve clearly already condensed an energy field similar to a domain, what... does this count as?"

Liang Yuan was puzzled; logically, at this stage, he should be considered Star God Level.

But in reality, he hadn’t fully transformed into a Star God yet.

Because at the Star God Level, one must have a Heart Core and Brain Core.

"Perhaps the condensation of Heart Core and Brain Core still requires time."

Suddenly, Liang Yuan felt a strange force acting on his body.

This force was repelling him, pushing him away from this planet!

"Is this..."

Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, immediately following this energy to perceive.

He only felt that in the void, such consciousness existed everywhere.

"Is the planet repelling me?"

Liang Yuan instantly realized the source of this awareness.

It was the Gaia Consciousness, the consciousness of the entire planet.

Before the apocalypse, someone proposed the concept of Gaia Consciousness, but back then, it was mostly humans speculating on their own.

After all, no one had truly seen the so-called Gaia.

But different places had different names for Gaia Consciousness.

In Dragon Country, people liked to call it Heavenly Dao, Nature.

Abroad, some consider it God, the Deities.

In various countries, more or less, there would be concepts of Gaia Consciousness.

However, previously people only imagined, but now, Liang Yuan could responsibly say that Gaia Consciousness really exists!

Liang Yuan stood in the void, closed his eyes, hoping to communicate with this consciousness.

However, he quickly failed.

"Gaia Consciousness is not a pure consciousness entity, but a kind of collective consciousness formed by countless life forms."

"It could be the mountains and lakes of this planet, or the countless subconsciousness of the planet’s beings."

Liang Yuan realized this collective consciousness of the planet was repelling him!

"Is it because I broke through genetic recombination, becoming a Star God Level giant beast?"

"No, it’s because I’m about to become a Star God Level giant beast, embodying a domain magnetic field. Strictly speaking, I am essentially a small planet now."

"So it is repelling another small planet."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but think, Blue Star, as a planet with life forms, evolved an ozone layer capable of deflecting incoming meteoroids, protecting life on the planet.

It inherently has a sufficiently strong magnetic field, repelling other celestial bodies, while attracting smaller celestial bodies to orbit around it.

In fact, thinking of it this way, these planets truly seem to have some sort of special consciousness.

Especially a planet like Blue Star, every function it has, whether it’s the ozone layer, land, oceans, mass, or gravity, seems to be meticulously designed.

If it wasn’t designed by higher-dimensional beings, then only innate evolution could achieve this.

Liang Yuan’s thoughts were churning wildly.

Soon he dismissed the random thoughts and began to quickly consider his current issues.

"I have clearly reached 100%, yet I still haven’t condensed the Heart Core and Brain Core."

"Do I need to go to outer space to do it?"

"Or perhaps I need time to slowly ferment, allowing my heart and brain to gradually develop Heart Core and Brain Core?"

Liang Yuan actually leaned more toward the latter; Heart Core and Brain Core shouldn’t appear instantaneously.

It should follow a process, like cell development, slowly forming.

This isn’t a Xianxia novel where a golden elixir can be instantly condensed.

Even having reached this stage, the growth of Heart Core and Brain Core needs time.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan steadied his mind.

"I wonder if the system has anything to accelerate the formation of Heart Core and Brain Core."

"However, I mustn’t rush. Now, even without the Heart Core and Brain Core, just condensing a domain magnetic field has already provoked Blue Star’s repulsion."

"If I truly form Heart Core and Brain Core, this repulsion would be even stronger, then I must leave Blue Star."

Liang Yuan shook his head; he still had many things left undone and wasn’t prepared to leave Blue Star.

He needs to prepare more for leaving Blue Star.

What lies in space, Liang Yuan doesn’t know.

But he is clear about one thing: space is definitely not peaceful.

Retracting his thoughts, Liang Yuan slightly moved his heart, dissolving the gene recombination form.

Instantly, his body continuously shrank, returning to human form.

"Thankfully, the gene recombination form can be switched; otherwise, if one couldn’t revert to human after gene recombination, that would be quite a joke."

Liang Yuan thought to himself, restraining the power of the domain magnetic field, flying quickly toward the Floating Island.

Soon Liang Yuan returned to the Floating Island, Wang Ling’Er and others hurriedly came over, each with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liang, on your genetic recombination breakthrough." Wang Ling’Er said with a smile.

In crowded situations, She would still address him as Mr. Liang.

Hong Tianyi and the others also gathered to congratulate Liang Yuan.

"Congratulations, Master, genetic recombination perfection. Now Master is likely the first human to reach this realm."

"Certainly, no matter how fast cultivation speed is, it can’t be faster than Master, especially since achieving the latter stages of genetic recombination is harder," sighed Lu Yuanshan.

"Isn’t Master invincible now?" Jiang Wenbin asked.

Facing their curious inquiries, Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "Not invincible, but among humans, I should be considered ahead."

"The greatest threat now is possibly the Mutant Beasts."

"Of course, the Mutant Beasts of Blue Star are no longer a concern, only surviving ancient exotic creatures need vigilance."

Liang Yuan naturally referred to the likes of the Eight-headed Great Serpent.

"You all came at the right time, let’s have a meeting, I have something to discuss."
