Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 154: I will establish an interstellar prestigious clan myself!

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“Protector?” Feng Lin was puzzled. What did this mean?

“That’s right. As long as you become my protector, you can come with me back to my Interstellar Ancestral Clan!” Feng Shaoyou smiled and nodded, with an expression like Feng Lin had just stumbled upon the greatest fortune of his life.

“Being your protector, what responsibilities do I have? What missions would I need to do?” Feng Lin didn’t lose his calm. He had an indifferent look on his face as he asked.

There wouldn’t be free lunch in the world.

This Feng Shaoyou wouldn’t be so nice to him without a reason. There should be something beneficial to him which Feng Lin didn’t know about.

In any case, the title ‘Protector’ seemed to mean him becoming a subordinate of others.

Feng Lin had to know the reason clearly or he might be sold off by this Feng Shaoyou without even knowing.

Feng Shaoyou upon seeing that Feng Lin didn’t lose his reasoning when he heard of this good news felt even more admiration for Feng Lin in his heart. “The word ‘protector’ is a term from ancient cultivation records. The responsibilities are very simple. The interstellar space is simply too dangerous, not only are there many terrifying alien races, but there are also many conflicts between humans. Things are not calm at all. If a cultivator wishes to grow stronger, their future would be filled with extreme danger and they might even die at any time. Hence, for those cultivators with boundless futures, they would always search for protectors of their own. These protectors need to have combat prowess that far surpassed the peers of their generation. After the cultivator matures, he or she would then pull their protectors along, giving them benefits to raise their cultivation. This is a mutually beneficial relationship!”

After he spoke until here, Feng Shaoyou smiled at Feng Lin. It was like he could already see the joy on Feng Lin’s face as Feng Lin impatiently agreed.

Protector? Isn’t that just a glorified term for someone’s hired thug?

A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin’s lips. Was there anything good about being someone’s protector?

“While the universe keeps rolling on an orbit, a superior man makes a continuous endeavor to advance. Sorry, if I wish to explore the universe, I will depend on my own abilities to enter the interstellar university. I will definitely not become subordinate to someone.” Feng Lin decisively rejected.

“You actually reject my offer?” The smile on Feng Shaoyou’s face completely vanished; his face became as cold as ice.

However, Feng Lin didn’t give a damn. His expression was as calm as ever as he stared at Feng Shaoyou.

“Do you know what sort of opportunity you are missing out?” After being deadlocked for a few moments, Feng Shaoyou icily spoke. His eyes had a resentful expression as though Feng Lin was too dumb for words.

Opportunity?

The smile on Feng Lin’s lips widened.

There are only opportunities where one had to strive constantly to achieve. For opportunities bestowed by others, he disdained to grab them.

“The solar system is one of the star regions with the lowest cultivation standards. It cannot even be compared to the Bermuda Star Region, Carribean Star Region, Mediterranean Star Region...that are infested by interstellar pirates! The reason is simply because the spirit substances have all been exhausted since ancient times, and it has to depend on supply from other places for cultivation resources. In this place, the highest you can progress would be the elite cultivator realm. That’s the absolute limit; it’s possible to climb any higher. For a mountain where there are no tigers, even monkeys can become the king. If you wish for a brighter future, you can only head into the interstellar space. As a member of a Feng Clan, returning to the Ancestral Clan should be your greatest hope. I’m also the only one who can help you...” Feng Shaoyou’s voice was extremely glacial as he harshly spoke.

Upon seeing that he was about to continue, Feng Lin shook his head and interjected, “There’s no need for you to worry about my future. What’s deserved to be mine will be mine; there cannot be a single thing lacking. As for the things others can ‘give’ me, I rather not touch them at all. I will depend on my own effort and strength to enter the interstellar space!” Feng Lin stated.

If he couldn’t depend on himself even after becoming an interstellar cultivator, what was the point in cultivation?

On his path leading to this point, Feng Lin had always depended on himself. When had he depended on others before?

He hadn’t done this in the past, he didn’t do this now, and he definitely wouldn’t do this in the future!

The true logic of cultivators meant that one had to unceasingly break through the limits of their life shackles to evolve into a higher lifeform, gaining the power to control their fates.

Once he depended on others, he would lose his own initiative and freedom, becoming a mere subordinate. What was the point in cultivating then?

In the legends, to break free from the control of the heavenly courts, the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong, wreaked great havoc and turned the entire heavens upside down.

The path Feng Lin was walking on was Sun Wukong’s path. He had even experienced the Great Sage Will and there was no doubt that he would never agree to Feng Shaoyou. If not, wouldn’t he have thrown face for the Sun Wukong’s mythological path?

“In that case, you are unwilling to be my protector, right?” Feng Shaoyou’s gaze was as sharp as swords. A dangerous aura began to radiate from his body.

Upon seeing the malicious look on Feng Shaoyou’s face, as well as the fact that he kept hinting that he would miss a huge opportunity if he didn’t become his protector, Feng Lin couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He felt that his choice was the correct one.

Leaving aside the fact that Feng Lin would never become someone’s subordinates, even if he was willing to, given how narrow-minded this Feng Shaoyou was, Feng Lin would never choose him as his master.

“That’s right. As a cultivator, I naturally have to depend on my own strength. How can I depend on others? There’s no need to mention anything more about being your protector. I won’t agree to it.” To stop Feng Shaoyou from talking more on this subject, Feng Lin directly severed all possibilities.

RUMBLE!

Feng Shaoyou’s eyes flared with anger, no longer suppressing himself.

A terrifying pressure gushed forth. It felt as corporeal as a gigantic mountain that wanted to crush this disobedient Feng Lin completely.

If soft tactics couldn’t work. Let’s try hard tactics then.

Feng Lin kept laughing in his heart. He wasn’t afraid and was still looking at Feng Shaoyou directly.

He had to admit that the latter’s vitality force was extremely strong. He was the strongest out of all people Feng Lin had ever met and might be equivalent to the titan created by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.

Feng Lin was convinced by his judgment. This Feng Shaoyou must be an elite cultivator.

As expected of a descendant from the ancestral clan. Any casual person there would be an expert.

But if Feng Shaoyou felt that he could force him to submit just from his aura alone, he was sorely mistaken.

Feng Lin had experienced the wars on Mars and the slaughters in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company... What had he not seen before?

He had even fought with a titan before. Although it might only be an artificial god created by genetic engineering and its combat prowess couldn’t be considered peak-tier among elite cultivators, the titan gene was a perfect primeval gene. It absolutely couldn’t be considered weak.

Yet even so, Feng Lin depended on himself and had bitterly struggled through the doors of death, eventually managing to defeat the titan.

This Feng Shaoyou might be a level stronger than him, but Feng Lin wasn’t afraid.

Who was the stronger and who was the weaker? One would only know the answer after they had fought.

What did he have to fear?

Waves of pressure akin to violent gales gushed forth, yet Feng Lin felt as though a cool breeze was brushing across his face. A faint smile appeared as he calmly held his ground.

“Eh?” Feng Shaoyou was startled. This Feng Lin was just an interstellar cultivator, yet he could withstand his aura so easily in such a relaxed manner? This must mean that Feng Lin’s cultivation base should be infinitesimally near the elite cultivation realm.

Being able to reach this standard in the chaotic star region was truly excellent. His talent was boundless.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted Feng Lin to become his protector. He tried to recruit him again.

“Do you know how high the status of our Feng Ancestral Clan in the interstellar space is? We are truly the progeny of the Three Sovereigns and have inherited the Fuxi Gene. We are also an interstellar prestigious clan that’s publicly recognized by everyone, possessing astronomical amounts of cultivation resources!

“The Huaxia Star Republic occupies the entire Eastern Milky Way Galaxy and possesses endless territories that are unimaginably vast. Our Feng Clan is considered a supreme aristocrat clan. We will receive and enjoy special privileges wherever we go. For some, being able to return to the ancestral clan means that they have cultivated good karma for three lifetimes! Originally, there should have been no chances for you people, who are members of the branch clan, to ever go back to the Feng Ancestral Clan. Don’t be so foolish as to reject my offer.”

Upon seeing how lofty Feng Shaoyou appeared to be, Feng Lin coldly laughed once again in his heart.

One had to become his subordinate before they could return to the ancestral clan?

In that case, so what even if he missed this opportunity?

Feng Lin had gone through so much effort to break the restriction of his clan on him. How could he be silly enough to jump into another pit of fire?

If he did so, wouldn’t all his earlier efforts become nothing but a great joke?

An interstellar prestigious clan, a great aristocratic clan?

“There’s no need. I will never return to the ancestral clan. Because...”

“I will establish an interstellar prestigious clan myself!”
