  Lordbluefire

  King of the Solar System?

  Yana’s words caused Feng Lin’s heart to leap as he involuntarily paused his steps.

  “What do you mean?” He asked in a heavy voice.

  “Nothing much. But if you want to become the number one candidate in the second round of examinations, it would be too tough to achieve this alone. However, I might be able to help you.” Yana smiled, her eyes gleaming with intelligence as though everything was within her control.

  Although she said the word ‘might’, the confidence in her tone was apparent to all.

  “Are you that confident?” Feng Lin felt slightly puzzled.

  This Yana’s physique was weak; she seemed like she would be knocked down by a blast of wind.

  It wasn’t Feng Lin looking down on her. It was just that such a weak female actually dared to boast of this? Saying that she could help him become the King of the Solar System? Where did her confidence come from?

  Those who heard this would surely feel puzzled.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew Yana was walking on the Athena Mythological Path and had intelligence far surpassing others, Feng Lin might really have thought that she was joking……

  “You actually still dare to doubt my elder sis’s words?” Seeing Feng Lin’s repeated questioning, Aris instantly felt as though he was stepping on her foot. Her slightly childish face frowned as she bared her teeth, like a ferocious young female tiger.

  She growled in a low and threatening voice, “Brat, let me tell you that my sister’s words are never wrong. She has the good intention to help you, yet you still dare to doubt her? You simply don’t know what’s good for you.”


  Aris had a wrathful look on her face, but Feng Lin didn’t care about her.

  Their standpoint was different; thus, their way of thinking would naturally be different.

  This Aris treated the words of her elder sister as a sacred degree. But Feng Lin wasn’t even familiar with them, he naturally wouldn’t trust Yana blindly.

  So what if she was walking on the goddess of wisdom’s mythological pathway?

  Feng Lin had his own measure in his heart, and he wouldn’t trust others easily.

  Yana was truly very intelligent, she also understood why Feng Lin would doubt her. She didn’t explain too much and merely use her dainty finger to point at her forehead. Her countenance was extremely pale, but her eyes gleamed with incomparable confidence, a light so bright that it was eye-piercing.

  “My intelligence can achieve anything.” Her tone was calm like she was stating facts. She was truly confident in herself from the depths of her heart.

  Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed in thought. After all, it was true that Yana was walking on the Athena Mythological Path.

  Athena, as one of the twelve main gods in Greek mythology, both her strength and intelligence could be considered at the peak level on Mount Olympus. It was definitely a paragon mythological path.

  Could it be that Yana had gained some inheritance related to the Athena Mythology Path and obtained some unknown ability? Could this be the reason behind her confidence?

  Should he take a gamble?

  Feng Lin’s heart stirred.

  Over 10,000 students were taking the second round of examinations, and Feng Lin had the confidence to obtain an exemplary result.

  However, if he wished to obtain the top position and become the King of the Solar System among the younger generation, things wouldn’t be so easy.

  He mustn’t lack strength, intelligence, or luck……Each of the three aspects couldn’t be missing.

  Becoming the King of the Solar System would result in countless benefits, be it fame or power.

  Feng Lin didn’t really care about these, but he knew that the King of the Solar System could have an unrivaled influence on everything in the solar system.

  Fame might seem useless and might bring him trouble in the long run. But in the short-term, it would definitely generate huge profits for him.

  As the saying goes, when one attains the dao, even his chickens and dogs would rise to the sky.

  If Feng Lin really became the King of the Solar System, other than himself, his family members would also receive great benefits.

  The only troublesome thing was that a tall tree would surely attract wind!

  But since he was already a cultivator, he naturally planned to fight for the top position.

  In the Interstellar Era, it was basically built upon competition. If one didn’t grow in strife and competition, how would they be able to have the strength to suppress their many opponents and seize opportunities?

  With regards to the great dao, there was the concept of ever-advancing, retreat was not an option!

  Only with a heart that continued to look forward would one be able to push on further with unstoppable momentum.

  Hence, Feng Lin was very interested in the title of the King of the Solar System. But as to how should he obtain this, he wasn’t completely confident.

  Seeing that Feng Lin was somewhat interested, Yana smiled as she continued, her words cut right to the thick of the meat, “Now, there are over 10,000 exam candidates for the second exam. The competition is incomparably intense. If you depend on yourself to hunt the aberrations, the efficiency is simply too low! Others would form teams to hunt the monsters, and their speed would naturally be much faster. Although cultivators usually focused on their own strengths, as numbers are meaningless against a truly powerful opponent, you have to take in mind that this test is a test of how many monsters you can hunt. The more people there are in your team, the faster you naturally would be able to obtain points. As time passed, if you go solo you might be able to gain not too bad a score, but it’s way too far-fetched if you want to become the King of the Solar System!”


  One couldn’t help but say this girl wasn’t someone with long hair but had short sight in terms of her thinking. She instantly listed the points which Feng Lin was worried about.

  Feng Lin pondered, he didn’t disagree. “Since this is the case, what idea do you have that can guarantee I will be the top scorer?”


  Yana mysteriously smiled, she confidently continued, “To a cultivator, strength is indeed important but intelligence must not be lacking. Intelligence can be likened to a weapon, which would amplify one’s natural strength by many folds. With a strong enough lever, one can even manually move a planet. For those famous experts, all of them had equal strengths in intelligence and power. I have a plan that can allow us to obtain the highest score and become the top scorer within a short period of time. This is the power of intelligence……” She unhurriedly spoke.

  Seeing how confident she was, as if everything was already in her control, Feng Lin also felt curious. “What plan do you have?”


  Yana softly laughed. Her dainty finger pointed to the center of her brows. “Because all the information about Asura Planet is already in my mind. The different types of aberrations, their distribution and races…… I know everything. Feng Lin, you must know that there are differences between aberrations. The points we get awarded with, are also dependent on the types of monsters we kill. I know what we should do to raise our efficiency to the max when killing aberrations.”


  “Mhm?” Feng Lin felt something was very strange. From the start until now, Yana had been talking about aberrations, she didn’t mention anything about biochemical monsters.

  Also, by claiming that she had ALL the information about Asura Planet in her mind, wasn’t this too much of an exaggeration?

  This was a gigantic planet with environments that were much more complex than normal planets. The different living things here, the death criminals, the aberrations, the biochemical monsters, the changes in weather, geographical location, and many different types of sciences etc……

  Even though the brains of cultivators were more developed, it was also impossible to store so much information at the same time.

  (Can this Yana really accomplish this?)

  (The Wisdom Gene?)

  (Or is it some other ability?)……

  Feng Lin had some guesses in his heart, but he had no definitive conclusions.

  “That’s right!” Yana could see the doubt in his heart. She didn’t feel that there was a need to conceal this. Earlier, she had already divulged some information. Any intelligent person would be able to sense something.

  She then honestly admitted, “My mythological gene has something to do with increasing my wisdom and intelligence. My thinking power isn’t weaker than the optical A.Is. I’ve already memorized everything there is to memorize about the Asura Planet.”


  Yana’s tone was calm like it was an extremely ordinary thing.

  Not weaker than A.Is?

  Feng Lin was stunned.

  However, mythological genes did possess boundless potential. He already didn’t feel strange no matter how wondrous the ability of a gene was.

  If Yana truly had such an ability, his earlier doubts could be perfectly explained.

  “Aberrations?” Feng Lin pretended not to know anything as he asked.

  “Aberrations are the name of those biochemical creatures. This is a very remote area of knowledge and only a few people know about this.” Yana honestly replied. “In the Ancient Era, there was once a horror sci-fi movie called Alien. In the movie, there was a race in the universe named the Engineer Race. Their biotechnology has already been developed to the peak and they created a mysterious substance with life called the black water. This substance would usually take the form of a black liquid, yet it contained genetic codes for life. It is able to fuse with the genes of different biological creatures and undergo mutation and evolution, granting the creatures with limitless evolutionary power. There would be different lifeforms formed when the black water interacts with different biological creatures. And now, those lifeforms that were created are all known as aberrations.

  And in that movie, the rough evolutionary formula was:

  Black Water + a Man = Zombie

  Zombie + a Woman = Tentacle Monster (Trilobite)

  Tentacle Monster + Engineer = Aberrations.”
……

  “As the science and technology of interstellar humans evolved, some mad scientists would often try to recreate the bio weapons of what the sci-fi movies in the past had shown.

  “And somehow, they managed to succeed in creating the black water. A small bottle of black water would spread like the plague in a life planet, destroying the entire life planet effortlessly.

  “The thought of doing so seemed ridiculous to many people, why would someone destroy a life planet to test out something? But for scientists, what they pursue was the truth of the universe. They naturally didn’t mind making sacrifices to reach the peak of science, making the imaginary into reality.

  “Once such a bio weapon was used, an entire life planet would be doomed. There was no need to sacrifice any soldiers, just a bottle of that black water would do.

  “When the mad scientists reveal their great creation, terror soon began.

  “With great anticipation, humanity stepped upon the planet which was cleansed of its former lifeforms, wanting to take over it fully. However. what awaited them was only terror. They became the targets of those who mutated into aberrations.

  “The ‘self-control codes’ inputted by the scientists during the creation of the black water were all completely devoured by the mutation process when something became an aberration. This was something the scientists had not foreseen.

  “Only then did those humans find out how terrifying the aberrations were. In their minds, there were only slaughter, eating, and evolution. They had no other emotions and even dared to rebel against their masters which were humans. They were even more fearsome compared to some plague-type bug races in the universe!

  “What was even more terrifying was that these aberrations, under the control of their queen, could leave their eggs in living humans. When these humans returned to their respective home planets, the egg would hatch and burst out from their stomachs, feasting on the other uninfected humans in the surroundings. At that time, it could swiftly spread to over a hundred life planets, turning all of them into hells of blood and flesh.

  “This disaster drew the attention of the other humans in the universe. They joined forces and paid a great price before they managed to exterminate the vast majority of aberrations.

  “However, as aberrations were one of the peak-level biochemical creatures created by human science, humanity chose not to annihilate them completely. They brought the surviving aberrations to this Asura Planet and deported death criminals here as they continued with their experiments and observation. One can even say that Asura Planet was a giant laboratory while the death criminals were the materials needed for the experiments……”


  Yana slowly spoke, speaking of an incomparably cruel truth.

  Feng Lin and Aris didn’t have any looks of shock on their faces.

  Since they were criminals on death rows, it naturally meant that they had committed unpardonable sins and had lost all human rights. They were expelled from humanity. It was naturally for the best to use them to deal with the aberrations.

  Evil people would naturally be punished by evil!

  Keeping the aberrations in captivity…… Wasn’t this a little too daring?

  But after some thought, Feng Lin understood.

  Aberrations were such terrifying lifeforms. Maybe in the Ancient Earth Era, such creatures were something that ordinary humans couldn’t handle. But in this current era, they were no different from pets.

  The power of the current age’s science and technology had far surpassed the imaginations of the past. Destroying a planet or even the universe could actually be accomplished as long as one paid heavy enough price……

  In the past, didn’t the aberrations spread to over a hundred life planets? But weren’t they exterminated after that?

  Although these were biochemical monsters, they didn’t have any transcendent abilities. They couldn’t threaten interstellar humans.

  From this, Feng Lin understood even more about how terrifying interstellar science was.

  But why did Yana speak so much about this? What does this has got to do with him becoming the King of the Solar System?

  Feng Lin went straight to the point. “You said so many things, but what’s the use of it?”


  Yana’s dainty finger rubbed the center of her brows gently. She turned even paler, but the light in her eyes grew so bright that people wouldn’t dare to look directly at them.

  Thinking too much would lead to excess exhaustion of her brain power. It was an incomparably huge burden for her with her weak physique.

  “Because I know everything, I can accomplish anything! I have all the information I need. As long as I have enough power to ensure that my plans are going smoothly, I can produce an unimaginable effect. According to my research, the social structure of these aberrations was like ant colonies. Large groups of aberrations would gather at their mother nests, forming a stable ecological structure. The different types of aberrations have different abilities, and their statuses in their race were also different. The one with the highest status was none other than the queen mother. She is equivalent to a queen bee and is the mother of all aberrations. A queen usually won’t have much combat strength, but she can depend on the genetics of the lifeforms she devoured to produce different aberrations. She is like a huge production machine, but she herself is the greatest flaw to their ecological structure. You should know that the higher the rank of the aberrations we kill, the more points we would score. If we can kill a queen……”


  Yana calmly stated and her words were simple enough. Even ordinary humans could understand what she was trying to get at.

  Aris at the side had a look of wild anticipation on her face, like she desired nothing more than to storm into a nest and kill a queen now.

  “You are saying……?” Feng Lin’s heart stirred.

  “That’s right, we should assassinate a queen. Once we kill her, we will definitely get the highest score. At that time, we will split the points evenly and as for which among us who can become the top scorer, that would depend on our capabilities. The more other types of aberration we kill, the more points we would get.” Yana explained, sharing her idea of splitting the spoils.

  Feng Lin sank into contemplation.

  This Yana truly surprised him.

  He didn’t expect a young woman with such a weak physique would actually have such an audacious and incomparably dangerous plan.

  One couldn’t help but say the greater the risks, the greater the returns are.

  If this plan truly could succeed, becoming the King of the Solar System might really be possible.

  Should he take a gamble?

  Feng Lin’s heart stirred but he didn’t rush to make a decision. His eyes gleamed as he asked, “You know so many things and your plan is also perfect. Why do you still need me?”


  Yana didn’t conceal things from him because she knew if she didn’t have a logical explanation, Feng Lin definitely wouldn’t take the risk.

  “This plan is extremely dangerous and requires a combat strength on the level of elite cultivators, the stronger the better. With me and my younger sister, our strengths are insufficient. And why you? Because others are not worthy of our trust, and you are the only one currently that met with all the requirements.” Yana calmly stated.

  “Do you trust me that much?” Feng Lin didn’t think that it would be so simple.

  “After all, you saved our lives and from a certain perspective, we definitely trust you more than other strangers who are taking the exam. We have already cooperated once before and you also have some understanding about both of us. Wouldn’t that become the basis of the second time of our cooperation? No?” Yana lightly smiled as she counter-asked.

  From her words, Feng Lin also smiled. He no longer hesitated. “Fine then!”


  Great fortune comes with the danger……

  (Let’s do it!)
