Genes.
This was an area Alice had never touched.
She had even heard of it for the first time.
Looking at Alice deep in thought, the Red Queen's gaze was somewhat strange, with a hint of sadness in it.
Poor High Priestess.
If she ever learned she was a clone, who knew what she would think.
However, I am you too.
Alice. Queen of Fire.
All were created using Alicia as a template.
If Alice could calm down and study the Red Queen slowly, it wouldn't be difficult to notice the other's features.
They would be extremely similar to her own.
At this moment, Alice was still thinking about the question the Red Queen had posed.
Genes.
The advantage of her world was this.
So how should genes be developed?
It all had to be attributed to the source—the T-virus.
This was a super drug that could repair any disease. If absorbed into the body, the human body would gain super vitality.
Now she was using the Eternal Meditation technique.
Her own physique had strengthened countless times over.
Coupled with the blessing from the gods before, Alice could be said to be at the pinnacle of Earth.
An hour later.
Alice sat down cross-legged, closing her eyes and concentrating.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Looking at what's inside my genes. Maybe I can see something incredible!"
"Don't you need me to record the information?"
"There are some things that cannot be explored with current technology. We need a pioneer!"
Alice said calmly.
Then she fell into meditation.
Super mental power continuously poured into her body.
She was searching for something within her genes.
Every road needed someone to forge it, and Alice was no exception.
Search.
Explore.
See the truth.
She didn't know how long it took.
Alice caught a glimpse of the door of truth within her genes.
Gene locks!
Thirteen gene locks were distributed throughout her body.
Humans turned out to be like prisoners.
Trapped within their own bodies.
Suddenly, Alice had an epiphany—so this was the cultivation method of her world.
She was afraid of accidents.
So she observed carefully.
Finally, she found some clues.
Inside the gene locks.
Three were shaking and could break at any moment.
"So I can already unlock these three shackles!"
Her mind moved.
The energy in Alice's body began to flow toward the chains.
The first three shackles shattered instantly.
There was no resistance at all.
When the shackles shattered, a sense of release washed over her.
Her soul felt light and free.
The method was correct!
Alice was overjoyed and blasted toward the fourth shackle.
This time she used some strength.
At the same time, she also exerted her full power, joining the assault.
Click.
The fourth gene lock opened!
Her mental power increased by ten percent.
Then came the fifth gene lock, and the sixth.
Until the ninth gene lock.
Alice stopped, because the remaining gene locks were all located in her mind. She didn't dare act rashly.
"How do you feel? According to my monitoring, your strength has increased by twenty percent."
"You're right. The genes in our world are indeed an advantage. There are gene locks within our genes. When you open them, you can gain extraordinary power."
"Gene locks?"
"Yes. There are a total of thirteen gene locks. I've unlocked nine of them. The remaining chains are all in my mind. I don't dare act rashly."
Alice spoke truthfully.
She didn't conceal anything from the Red Queen.
Because these things had to be made public.
From now on, it would be the era when all people would unlock their gene locks.
The old era would be completely swept into history.
"Thirteen gene locks... Yes, it seems you've found a path for humanity."
The Red Queen said with a smile.
In the following period, Alice selected some people with strong mental power from the city and instructed them on how to unlock their gene locks.
Although practicing divine techniques could grant powerful abilities.
Gene locks were more like an enhancement to one's fundamental being.
If you unlocked the first-tier gene lock.
The speed of cultivating divine techniques would be faster.
Your strength would be ten percent greater than others of the same rank!
Second-tier individuals were about thirty percent stronger.
Looking at the test report, Alice smiled excitedly. "This is it. We've found the path for our world to develop. In the future... the gods will value us as well."
"Indeed. I've received news that the manager of the Umbrella organization has committed suicide, but..."
"But what?"
"There are many key members of Umbrella in underground shelters. Right now, the surface world can't be cleaned up, and they're still sleeping underground."
Hearing this, Alice's happy expression instantly turned cold.
She said indifferently, "Wait a while. I will eliminate these scourges."
"Understood."
The testing continued.
A month later, the human world had undergone tremendous changes.
The old humans were constantly being eliminated.
Anyone who wasn't motivated would be swallowed by the times.
Join the religious teachings and practice the techniques of the gods.
This was the way to protect yourself right now. At the same time, many people had unlocked their gene locks.
Becoming the best.
The divine techniques required joining the teachings to practice.
And gene locks were something only the elite could utilize.
The power structure of humanity had been reshuffled.
Many gathering places that hadn't joined the cult in time had been attacked by armies of zombies and plants.
The mutations had caused these monsters' strength to grow rapidly.
One gathering place had actually been destroyed by a monster dragon.
Strong genetic ability.
Had allowed a crow to evolve into a dragon.
"According to the latest report from cult headquarters, after unlocking the third-tier gene lock, you can develop abilities. Some can even transform."
The screen switched to the sect headquarters.
A man of Chinese descent roared and transformed into a small Tyrannosaurus rex about three meters tall.
Being small didn't mean his destructive power was weak.
It just so happened that many zombies were imprisoned here at headquarters.
As a result, hundreds of zombie beasts were killed by this man in ten seconds.
This terrifying power was suffocating.
Next, they even used drones for testing. As a result, at a height of five hundred meters, these third-tier gene evolutionaries could reach it in a single leap.
The aircraft made of alloy couldn't withstand even one of his punches.
After returning to the ground.
The man smiled brightly at the camera and said, "Followers of the cult, don't worry about the zombies and the army of plants. We humans have the help of the gods. This is just a little test given by the gods!"
Some young people couldn't hold back immediately.
They asked to join the ranks of fighters.
Study?
What good was studying?
Gene warriors and fanatics were now what people aspired to become.
Regardless of gender or age, as long as they became genetic warriors, the benefits were so rich that civilians could hardly imagine them.
First was immortal grain.
Second, there was special training equipment.
These things could continuously strengthen oneself.
And what was in the gathering places?
Food was almost running out.
The outside world was occupied by plant monsters and zombies. Going out to farm was a difficult problem.
In the Myriad Realms Chat Group.
Ding... Group member Alice has uploaded a file.
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Gene Lock? What is this... is it some kind of magical technique?"
The Fox Who Only Loves Money: "Sister Piggy-Head Solanum, don't you know how to download it?"
Spirit of the Demon Sword: "Oh, that's right. Hehe... I was half-asleep and confused."
Iron Guts: "What is a gene lock? Can Alice explain?"
Alice: "Well... it's actually very simple."
Chu Dashan: "Brother understands. When the spiritual energy of my world revived, there were similar shackles. Isn't it the same thing?"
For Peace: "Brother, are you uncomfortable if you don't interrupt? Let me give you a punch—hit!!!"
Tosaka University: "Quiet. Let's listen to Alice first, alright? She's reporting to the gods."
Chu Dashan: "Ahem... my apologies, my apologies."
...
Alice: "Actually, just as Chu Xuanfeng said, my world is very barren. Our technology isn't advanced enough to reach Sam's World level, and martial arts are even more laughable. Only our genetic engineering isn't bad.
So, with the help of artificial intelligence, I came to understand the Divine Lord's intentions.
I piously studied my own body, and finally discovered the existence of gene locks. As long as you open a gene lock, you can gain powerful strength."
Junior Brother of Dazhufeng: "Wow... what a comfortable cultivation method. Just turn on the gene lock? That's really simple."
The Fox Who Only Loves Money: "I can't stand it. If there's such a beneficial thing, then how could they have been bullied by those corpses?"
Well, Tu Shan Yaya did look down on zombies.
A bunch of mindless things.
Their movement speed was slow.
One handful of fox fire and they'd all be wiped out.
How boring.
The Fox Who Only Loves Money: "I just asked Third Sister to analyze this gene lock, and she finally identified a problem. If the human body cannot withstand the opened gene lock, they will die directly!"
Pursuing Sentient Beings: "It seems that any cultivation is accompanied by danger. But as long as you practice divine techniques and strengthen your physical fitness, you can progress step by step."
Alice: "That's exactly what I think. That's why I paused after opening nine gene locks."
Pirate King of the Caribbean: "So have you mastered any powerful moves?"
Alice: "Yes. My mental power has been strengthened considerably, my overall strength has risen, and I've gained three abilities."
Chu Dashan: "What kind of powers? Tell us..."
General Yuwen: "I want to see if I have gene locks too!"
Bearded Swordsman: "Don't even think about it, brother... we're not from the same world."
Alice: "You're all so funny. My powers are Time, Substitution, and Accelerated Regeneration!
The Time ability allows me to clearly predict what the enemy will do next.
Substitution is probably a spatial ability. It consumes a lot of energy.
As for Accelerated Regeneration, it goes without saying—as long as my brain isn't fatally injured, I can regenerate quickly."
For Peace: "It feels like your Time ability is a bit like the Observation Haki of our world! I can predict what will happen within ten seconds."
Ninja Scientist: "The spatial ability is similar to Sasuke's Amenotejikara. A very good ability."
