From Godhood to the Heavens

Queen Maeve kissed Jane deeply on the cheek, her face filled with emotion, and then watched her walk away until her figure gradually disappeared.

Then he turned his head, looked at Fang Ping's position, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Nobody here knows. The people of my homeland don't allow me to contact other people, not even women."

Jane wouldn't betray me; I swear on my life.

Fang Ping reappeared, shrugged, and said, "It doesn't matter, I just don't want to be disturbed."

"You can rest assured, it's very quiet here!"

Without further hesitation, Fang Ping went inside, found a sofa, sat down, and seeing Queen Maeve standing awkwardly to the side, he waved his hand and said, "Get me some food, ready-made is fine!"

Once the other party left, Fang Ping regained his composure and looked at the backpack, which contained a large quantity of Compound No. 5 and Temporary Compound No. 5.

Having an item in the character's equipment slot has one more advantage than having it stand alone: ​​you can easily view the item's attributes through the inventory.

That's quite a skill!

In this way, Fang Ping can obtain more information through the backpack.

For example, compound number 5, as described below.

[Compound No. 5]: A drug that awakens superpowers. The probability of an adult awakening superpowers is about 0.001%, and the probability of a juvenile awakening superpowers is about 1%.

Fang Ping gasped. The difference was tens of thousands of times. With his luck before he transmigrated, the chance of winning even with a guaranteed drop in ten draws was almost certain. He was practically doomed!

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the temporary compound No. 5.

[Temporary Compound 5]: Derived from Compound 5, it can temporarily and randomly awaken 1 to 5 superpowers, lasting for 24 hours. The maximum number of injections is 5. It requires a large amount of energy to supply gene mutations. If the body's energy is insufficient, gene cells will undergo autonomous mutation.

Upon seeing this, Fang Ping frowned and fell into deep thought, combining his knowledge with various depictions and situations in movies and TV dramas.

The true principle of temporary compound No. 5 was also roughly deduced.

Researchers have shown that genes in organisms are highly variable, with different genes representing different abilities in cells, although the vast majority are recessive.

So-called superpowers are simply the development and enhancement of these things, activating them.

Among living organisms, there are electric eels that can generate electricity, and mantis shrimp that can unleash hundreds of times their normal force in an instant.

There are countless examples of women who start cars with their bare hands during an adrenaline rush, and men who drive hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads for nine hours without stopping.

Compound No. 5 is administered by continuously injecting a temporary compound No. 5 into an infant's body before the organism is fully developed. This activates a specific cell type in the infant's body, which then grows and develops on its own. It's like putting on a shackle, allowing the organism to enhance itself entirely on its own.

Before breaking through a certain limit, the body's instincts will protect itself to prevent the host from dying prematurely, thus revealing the upper limit of superpowers.

In reality, it may not be the upper limit of superpowers, but rather the upper limit of the human body itself, which cannot provide enough energy to develop more powerful superpowers.

After Ge Xiaolun and others activated their super genes, they received initial awakening energy from the sunlight. Later, they began training to further enhance their abilities, and then started using high-energy energy bars. Later still, they leveraged dark matter energy to directly replenish their super genes and the backstage core.

The same applies to Compound 5. In the story, only one person clearly demonstrates the process of self-training to become stronger, and that is Starlight. In order to be selected for the Super Seven, he started training himself from a young age.

Therefore, Starlight's superpowers actually surpass those of the vast majority of superheroes, which is just one piece of evidence.

In order to win the match against Shockwave, Locomotive injected himself with Compound 5 before the match, saying it would give him a stronger performance.

However, it puts a burden on the heart. It's like depleted genes being replenished all at once, resulting in an excited state, increased gene activity, and enhanced superpower gene division, thus greatly improving abilities.

However, the burden that comes with it must be borne by the heart, which is like the heart acting as an engine, working under excessive load.

For ordinary people, Compound 5 is a poison that almost always results in death, but for superhumans, it is an essential item for enhancing their abilities.

Perhaps, if one is strong enough to withstand the genetic mutations caused by compound 5, then it is equivalent to inevitably awakening at least one superpower.

Because the change in compound 5 originates from the genetic base, it is essentially permanent.

The temporary compound 5 contains certain substances that can only exist for 24 hours. During this period, awakening superpowers is equivalent to temporary gene activation, and the temporary compound 5 bears the energy cost of the genes consumed during these 24 hours.

When energy is depleted, genes fall into dormancy, but with each repetition, this portion of genes essentially begins the path of evolution.

The body's instincts will then drive it to continue evolving, requiring more energy, which the body cannot replenish.

This triggers the body's self-protection mechanism, preventing energy from being supplied to these genes. As a result, these genes begin to undergo autonomous mutations, and they will die as well when the host dies.

Therefore, the only option is to accelerate the mutation process in an attempt to evolve and achieve immortality of the body. However, the faster the mutation, the faster the host dies.

Until this part of the gene begins to realize that the host cannot be saved, it gradually evolves self-awareness and even begins to break away from the host.

The butcher in the main characters' group, with its tentacles and eyes that evolved at the end, probably confirmed Fang Ping's conjecture.

If you survive, you'll undergo mutation; if you don't, you'll die. Biological evolution is inherently cruel.

To leapfrog hundreds or thousands of years of biological evolution in a short period of time, such costs are all too normal.

You could even say that exploding into a bloody mist in the lab is the normal occurrence, while something like the Butcher's explosion might just be the so-called protagonist's halo.

Fang Ping's thoughts gradually returned to calm. He roughly understood the principle, but when it came to making improvements, he was at a loss. So he whispered and called out to the Emperor, "Is there a way?"

"Big data analysis, using massive amounts of data for verification, and gradually eliminating potential risks, might be the way to achieve this!"

"How long will it take?" Fang Ping couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps 10 years, or perhaps a hundred years..." The Emperor's words were uncertain, and he began to explain: "Based on current knowledge, every step of the advancement of biological genes may be an insurmountable chasm."
