Chapter 21

Early in the morning, the sky of Cerule was blue.

"Pearson returned to the Skyriver Prison Headquarters last night. He even turned down Old Henry's dinner." Neptune brought Gu Ding a message about Pearson early in the morning.

"Is there any other news?" Gu Ding did not care about Pearson's message. According to him, the two of them had settled their differences and no longer had anything to do with each other. If Pearson still refused to let go of him and his friends, Gu Ding would have no choice but to send the video information to the higher-ups of the Federal Government and completely ruin Pearson's reputation.

"There's a message that you might be interested in. It just came in early this morning and has not been confirmed yet." There was a hint of anticipation in Neptune's voice. "The message says that the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation secretly visited our Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation a few days ago. The Lords of both countries have discussed opening up to each other these days."

"Are you sure it's Faye Cosmic Nation?" Gu Ding did not quite believe the news. Faye Cosmic Nation was different from Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. It was a top-notch five-star Cosmic Nation. Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation, where Gu Ding was from, was only a two-star Cosmic Nation. It was completely different from Faye Cosmic Nation in terms of strength. Generally speaking, five-star Cosmic Nations rarely dealt with Cosmic Nations below four-star. They were the top overlords among the Cosmic Nations. With the gods overseeing them, they had a strong say in any Cosmic Nation below five-star.

And a 2 star universe country like Long Teng is usually attached to a 3 star universe country. Three-star Cosmic Nations also existed as attachments to four-star Cosmic Nations. If Faye Cosmic Nation really wanted to establish diplomatic relations, they could directly communicate with the four-star Cosmic Nation that governed Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. In order to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, it was normal for four-star Cosmic Nations to send a few two-star Cosmic Nations under their jurisdiction.

It was unheard of for a five-star Cosmic Nation to take the initiative to visit a two-star Cosmic Nation.

"Is this news reliable?" Gu Ding asked.

"I'm not sure. The level of authorization for communication between Cosmic Nations is too high. I can't hack in yet." This was the first time Neptune admitted to Gu Ding that there was something he could not do.

Gu Ding was a little stunned. Ever since he met Neptune, he had always thought that Neptune was omnipotent. He finally realized that there were things in this world that Neptune could not do.

"Hurry up and increase your strength. The higher your gene level, the more authority you can activate. I estimate that as long as you reach the level of a Rank 10 Gene Body, Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation should have no more secrets to me. "Gu Ding was speechless at Neptune's words.

A Rank-10 Gene Body was too far away for Gu Ding. Even Uncle Cain, a powerhouse with a bounty of hundreds of millions, was only a Rank-6 Gene Body. A Rank-6 Gene Body would also be able to get a position as a senior colonel in the Federation in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation.

Gu Ding felt a little depressed when he thought about this. "I still don't know when I'll be able to break through to Rank 2 Gene Body. My Cell Index is now at 19 points, but I still haven't broken through my Gene Level. The good thing is that cultivating Ultimate Arts every day can strengthen your cells. Most people have a Cell Index of more than 10 points before they break through their gene level. "

"Your genetic condition is a little special …" Neptune wanted to say something but stopped.

"Do you know something?" Gu Ding could tell from Neptune's tone that he knew something about his genes.

"Your genes are in a blocked state, and it's a double blocked state. One is a gene lock that you were born with, and the other is a seal lock that someone deliberately added after birth. " Neptune had actually detected Gu Ding's abnormality at the first instance. "Actually, the main reason I recognized you as my master was because of this genetic condition."

"Is it a good thing that my genes are blocked?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. He did not care too much about the gene lock that he was born with. What he cared about was the seal lock that was added after birth. His father was the only family member he had since he was young, and the seal lock was most likely added by his father. "My father must have a reason for doing this … It doesn't matter. I'll find him and ask him face to face!"

"Only people who are born with extremely strong genes will have a congenital gene lock. Usually, such people have powerful ancestors like deities. Once the heir shows signs of genetic atavism and inherits certain characteristics from the deity genes, they will be born with this gene lock. If they don't actively break this gene lock before adulthood, the terrifying power hidden in the genes will not only automatically break the gene lock, but it will also cause the gene chain to break or even collapse. In this case, the heir will die within three days. "

"Moreover, the Acquired Gene Seal was also an extremely powerful technique in ancient times. Even if the person who performed it was not a deity, I'm afraid their strength was infinitely close to that of a deity, "Neptune continued to explain. Neptune continued to explain, "Acquired gene seals are usually done by the elders in order to temper the younger generation who have awakened powerful abilities in their genes. The purpose is to let them have their feet on the ground and to prevent them from wasting their cultivation by relying too much on their special abilities. This kind of seal is generally not very strong. As long as the younger generation's strength exceeds the capacity of the seal, it will automatically be unlocked. "

"In other words, even if my Cell Index exceeds 20 points, if the gene lock is not unlocked, I still won't be able to break through to a Rank 2 Gene Body, and I won't be able to awaken my abilities?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. If he could not break through his Gene Level, the time of his ability awakening would be delayed. Humans only had a certain chance of awakening special abilities when their Gene Level was promoted.

"If the gene lock is not unlocked, you won't be able to advance to a Rank 2 Gene Body," Neptune gave an affirmative answer. "However, people who are born with the gene lock will have a 100% chance of obtaining abilities once the gene is unlocked. Moreover, the abilities they obtain will be very powerful."

"Let's not think too much about it. I'll exercise early and then go for breakfast." Gu Ding got out of bed. He had to do a morning jog every day. Although the effect of this kind of exercise was minimal with his current cell strength, it was still a good habit. This habit was also forced by his old father.

After leaving the door and jogging around, Neptune's voice suddenly rang out. "Gu Ding, the news from this morning is true!"

"What news?" Gu Ding asked casually.

"News of the visit from the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation. The Lord of Dragon Soar just announced that Faye Cosmic Nation has officially opened an interstellar route to Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation." There was a hint of excitement in Neptune's voice.

"In other words, Dragon Soar Interstellar Pirates don't have to bypass three three-star Cosmic Nations and a four-star Cosmic Nation in the future. They can directly enter the Cosmic Sea through Faye Cosmic Nation's five-star route?" Gu Ding's eyes lit up. "I've decided. I'm going to buy a Kittyhawk Model. I'm leaving now!"

"You haven't graduated yet, have you?" Neptune reminded him. He felt that Gu Ding seemed to have forgotten something.

"Yes, I'll go through the withdrawal procedures later." Gu Ding gave a surprising answer without hesitation. "Actually, the courses at the Military Academy are basically over. I had enough credits to graduate half a year ago. Moreover, I don't plan on going to the Advanced Military Academy. It doesn't matter if I don't get the graduation certificate. If the new route is not open, it doesn't matter if I leave a few months later. Many people have already walked the road ahead anyway. However, now that the new route is open, I want to leave as soon as possible to explore this new route that no one has walked before. I can't fall behind! "
