103: New module, Gene Treasury

The plundering lasted for a full hour.

When the golden pillar of Luck that pierced the heavens and earth thinned by ninety percent, and the Five-Clawed Destiny Golden Dragon at its peak withered into a small snake, Chu He finally stopped devouring with lingering interest.

He did not drive them to extinction.

A world that completely loses its Luck would rapidly collapse and perish, which was not what he wanted.

What he wanted was a "Family Ranch" that could continuously provide him with resources, not a one-time deal. By leaving the last spark of Luck, this world could slowly recover while struggling to survive; after several hundred or a thousand years, he could return to harvest another wave.

"Whew..."

Chu He let out a long breath, feeling the subtle feedback within his body brought by the sudden surge in Family Luck. Although it didn't improve his Soul Transformation Stage cultivation much, the feeling of being connected to the Family Luck, as if he could control everything, was very satisfying.

He looked down at Invincible in the East, who was now slumped on the ground, his face as pale as ash.

At this moment, although Invincible in the East still possessed his strength, he had lost the spirit of a "Child of Destiny," becoming no different from an ordinary person. Furthermore, because his Luck had been stripped away, he would likely be plagued by misfortune in the future, possibly even choking on a sip of water.

"From today on, you only need to do one thing well: manage this city for me," Chu He's voice was cold and emotionless. "Do it well, and you and your people can continue to live. Do it poorly, and I don't mind replacing you with someone else."

"Yes... yes, Master, I understand," Invincible in the East replied hoarsely, struggling to crawl up.

He had completely resigned himself to his fate.

Chu He ignored him and instead sank his mind into the System panel to carefully examine his gains this time.

In addition to the advancement of the Destiny Golden Dragon and the new ability [fortune furnace], he noticed a brand-new module icon emitting a faint blue technological light in the corner of the System interface.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has conquered a technological civilization world and acquired a large amount of relevant information and data. System module expansion—'Gene Laboratory' has been unlocked!]

[Gene Laboratory (Rank 1)]:

1. **Gene Analysis**: Can consume energy (Spirit Stones or Crystal Cores) to perform deep analysis on the genetic sequence of any living being, obtaining detailed information such as its talent, potential, and weaknesses.

2. **Gene Optimization**: Can consume Family Luck and specific Gene Materials to perform micro-adjustments and optimizations at the genetic level for Family members (including the Host). There is a small probability of increasing Bloodline potential. (Note: This function carries high risk and may lead to genetic collapse.)

3. **Gene Fusion**: Can integrate excellent gene fragments from different species into a target's body to create brand-new abilities. (Note: This function is extremely dangerous; the success rate is related to Bloodline strength and Physique.)

Looking at the introduction of this new module, Chu He's eyes instantly lit up.

This was simply another Heaven-Defying function tailor-made for him!

The cultivation System of the Xuanhuang Realm focused on Bloodline Legacy and comprehending the world. Meanwhile, the genetic technology of this technological world analyzed the essence of life from another perspective.

What kind of chemical reaction would occur when the two combined?

Countless bold ideas instantly popped into Chu He's mind.

For example, could his cheap old man, who only had an F-rank Bloodline, have his potential boosted through Gene Optimization so he could live a few years longer?

For another example, could he fuse the genes of certain powerful mutant beasts—abilities like "Space Jump" or "Energy Shield"—into his future offspring, allowing them to be born with these supernatural powers?

Even his own "Primordial Dragon God Bloodline"—could he use Gene Analysis to gain a deeper understanding of the Origin of its power?

"Coming to this world was truly the right choice!" Chu He was filled with excitement.

He immediately ordered Invincible in the East: "Pass down my command immediately. Bring all research Materials, experimental data, and the most precious 'S-Rank Gene Original Fluid' regarding genetic technology in Dragon City here. Not a single item is to be missing."

"As you command, Master!" Invincible in the East did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately issued the highest order to the City Lord's Mansion via his portable communicator.

Chu He's gaze became incredibly profound.

He was no longer satisfied with merely plundering the Luck and resources of this world. He wanted to take the "Civilization Core" of this world—genetic technology—and pack it all away to become another great asset for his Chu Family to dominate the heavens!

Just as Chu He was planning his future blueprint, Anya, whom he had left outside the city on guard, sent him an urgent message through the Divine Soul Restriction.

"Master, high-speed flying objects have been detected fifty kilometers east of Dragon City. Based on energy signatures and appearance, it's Eden's 'Seraph' squad!"

"To the west and north, reconnaissance planes from Valhalla's 'Berserker' Legion have also appeared almost simultaneously."

"They... have arrived."

Hearing this, a cold sneer curled on Chu He's lips.

"They've come at the perfect time; it saves me the trouble of finding them one by one."

"This is a good chance to use them to test what level my Soul Transformation Stage power actually reaches in this world."

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly vanished from the underground space, leaving only a sentence echoing in the empty hall.

"Watch the house. I'll be right back."
