In a quiet room, a 15-year-old boy with black hair and deep green eyes is sitting in a lotus position while white mist is surrounding him. His appearance isn't anything special—an ordinary fit teenager living in the city of Viro in the duchy of Astland. But what nobody knew is that on Earth he is the first human who has ever become a cultivator.
Finally, after 1 year of coming back to this new Earth timeline, I have finally gained access to the Gene Force, a necessary element for one to practice genetic martial arts. In my last life I was a True Human God in the Universe Guard Organization that governed over 3650 worlds ruled by the human races. Humans, elves, dwarfs, beast-men, the divine god race, and the devil race. All of these are the primary branches of the human race in their many forms through 100 million Grand-Mist Eras.
(*1 Grand-mist Era is 1 trillion Earth Years in scale.)
As I finish my circulation of the Gene Force through my 369 meridians, I finally feel the weight of mortality fall off as my physical attributes are enhanced by 1000x compared to before. I then use a secret technique and use a special Gene Force technique to force my mentality to awaken. Around the room, objects start to hover as my spiritual power is awakened through artificial means. The reason I even bothered to awaken my spiritual power is because in earlier stages in cultivation, spiritual power is more powerful than gene force. The human race in the universe is divided into ranks by the purity of their genes' ability to gather cosmic energy, from rank 10 to rank 1, with rank 10 being the lowest and rank 1 the highest. But before that topic can be discuss before the mumbo-jumbo about genetic purity makes sense, there is genetic cultivation
Oh yeah, I forgot to explain the realms of cultivation! Cultivation in our universe is divided into 6 primary realms of force cultivation. The Student Realm 1-9—that's what human psychics and martial artists of Earth are currently at. The Planetary Realm ranks 1-9, the Star Realm ranks 1-9, the Universe Realm ranks 1-9, the Domain Lord Realm ranks 1-9, and the Immortal Lord Realm ranks 1-9. There are higher realms of genetic and spiritual cultivation, but these are, at my current level, irrelevant. After all, there is no need to overthink about the heavens while living on the ground, so to speak.
In my last life, I was researching Earth's historical archives after the Universe Marketplace annexed Earth and all the remaining Earthlings as slaves. That was because Earth was a world modified by a powerful precursor race to amplify one's soul.
It is a classical story in the universe of the exploration of the weak race for resources, after all.
Okay, back to reality, use my newfound Genetic Force along with Soul Power and open my Soul Storage. But right as I try to fuse my genetic force and soul power, I can't do it right. Both powers dissipate into the air as my control over the Genetic Force is quite low right now.
What the fuck do you mean that I have to start to practice control over my Genetic Force from scratch?!
Okay, calm down and start over again. I sit down and start to practice energy control from scratch. As a few hours pass, I am slowly regaining control over my genetic force as I circulate it within my body. As a final test, I try to manifest a small ball of cosmic energy above my outstretched palm. That will be my final test so I don't fuck up opening my Soul Storage Space, and after a few hours I finally manage to create a small air distortion above my palm, using Gene Force.
Oh yeah, finally a mini Rasengan has been formed. Fine its a pearl sized Rasengan, but still I did it.
I am so happy after all this time I can finally restart my cultivation path.
Next I start fusing Gene Force and Soul Power together. But it takes over 10 minutes for me to finally create a Soul String stable enough to open my Soul Storage. As I use Soul String to open my Soul Space, I finally synchronize their frequencies, and I feel a shift 1 meter before me where a portal 1 meter wide opens in front of me.
Before I could react, 7 items fell out of the Soul Storage, and the spatial opening closed with a snap. These 7 items are Primordial Chaos Grade Gene Awakening Serum, a Smart Brain device with built-in loyal A.I. , a World Ring with a helluva lot of concealment formations of unknown level, a martial artist/spirit master's weapon, the 81 Blade Blade Shuddle, a World Origin Armor, and 3 Immortal Grade Female Martial Spirit Puppets.
I bite a wound to the tip of my finger, and the first thing I do is make a spiritual imprint on the World Ring, as it contains about 20% of my gathered wealth from my last life. I then do the same with Blade Shuddle along with World Origin Armor. I then place 3 Immortal Grade Female Martial Spirit Puppets into my World Ring and pick up Gene Awakening Serum.
In my last life I was unable to use it because when I finally had access to them, I was already at the peak of the Immortal Realm in cultivation and unwilling to damage my cultivation foundation for maybe a chance of it working. Gene Awakening Serums need to be injected into one's body before they reach the Immortal Realm in their cultivation. Otherwise, there is a 90% chance of death in using the serum.
I look at the small mechanical clock that my dead father gifted to me at my 7th birthday. Oh, I haven't spoken about where I currently am, have I? Currently it's the year 1904, summer, and I am living in the Estland Duchy of the Russian Empire. Unlike my previous Earth, spiritual power existed, like telekinesis, healing, and all that shit. The people with these abilities are called hunters; their duties are to clear the dimensional gates that are formed in pocket worlds near Main Earth's dimensional membrane.
The gate opened all over my old universe too and was associated with the invasions by the foreign dimensions into our space-time. Similar cases with the Earth have happened before, and normally they expel the foreign forces by 500-1000 years. If the defense of the world fails, the enemies either will use it as a beachhead for an invasion of our universe or will claim the entire world in the form of various resources.
Current Astland is ruled over by the duchess Anastasia Oswald, the widow of Duke Boris Oswald, who died in war against the steppe people of the Kahnnate. Also known as the 7th Holy War, the previous khan and king, both along with their armies, basically killed each other along with my father, who was a military healer at the time.
My mother, Ana Cup 35, is a language teacher in Viro School for Young Ladies, a fully female-oriented school to raise proper young ladies. I also have Sister Stephy Cup 18, who is currently working as a nurse in a Viro People Hospital. As for me, I am currently attending my last year at Viro University of Economics. I have also started the company called Ast Tech. Its main purpose is to research medicines and claim their patents.
Currently I have reinvented penicillin, birth control pills, insulin, aspirin, the polio vaccine, and the measles vaccine. Thanks to these revolutionary inventions, I have been given Imperial Protection and lots of money. Through selling my patents to the medicine makers, I alone made 30 million rubles of profit. I was also given an honorary noble title as a goodwill gift by the royal family and am openly protected by the Oswald family. Well, except for birth control pills that were sold to the wealthy in the last 6 months, all the hospitals have the drugs and vaccines mass-produced by the Imperial Health Ministry order. Then they are provided to the hospitals and clinics all over the empire.
But enough about that; now it is time to inject the Genetic Awakening serum and start my cultivation journey as a true cultivator toward the peak.
As I hold the syringe in my hand, I am surprised that in my hands is probably the only Primordial-Grade Gene Awakening Serum in the entire universe. That this little syringe is worth more than the value of entire universes' worth of resources. Hell, if any Immortals or even true gods were to find out about the existence of this serum, they would raze entire civilizations just to get their grubby hands on it.
As I remove the cap from the syringe, I place it near my heart and push the button that releases the serum directly into my heart. As I push the button, a sudden pain hits me as the serum enters into my heart and spreads throughout my body.
In that moment I suddenly remember these cultivation novels I used to read about cultivating body refinement techniques or pills and heroically enduring it. Well, they were lying, and they were definitely lying about that.
Why?
Because having your body rewritten at the genetic level fucking hurts, and this is where a very heroic moment of my life is enacted as I grit my teeth so I don't cry out from pain!
As my body slumps to the floor while unconscious, my muscles twitch from the shock. As the process ends, so does my body expel impurities, encasing my body in a black rock.
----
As my consciousness returns, I am shocked by the darkness around me, and I start to panic. Luckily, as I start to move around, I hear the sound of glass shattering, and there is light. Seconds later I notice that I am covered in some foul-smelling rock that has covered my body from head to toe. Reflexively I get to my feet, and I see the black substance that has covered me start to dissolve into nothingness.
Was that the legendary Rebirth that cultivators who evolve their existence to the next level go through, spoken of in ancient texts of the Demonic God Sect I used to be an elder in?
As I check my cultivation, I am shocked I have broken through to the Star Travel Stage of the Immortal Realm already. Previously I was only in an Apprentice Stage 1 as a newly awakened cultivator, but seriously, just improving my genes from Level 10 to Level 1 is insane.
No wonder these old monsters were so frantic when gene awakening resources came out to sell in the Universe Marketplace for such insane prices.
Next I open my SmartBrain Computer and let it Scan my current bodies state.
