## Gene Elements

As not all Genes have been elaborated, some are guesswork due to creature and spirit features.

## Gods / Divine

### **Process of evolution**

The gene cultivation system of gods is completely different than that of other classes. Most notably is the fact that all races and creatures start advancing in cultivation the same way.

Spirits, when evolving to gods merge with their spirit crystals, losing the ability to reincarnate.

Beasts, when evolving to gods lose their 'mortal' body and is replaced by their gene crystals, which exist in all super class creatures.

All creatures when evolving go through a 'gene cleanse', hence for a period of time after evolving, they may be weaker than even ordinary creatures of the 4th sanctuary, half-gods.

Evolving to gods from the 4th sanctuary brings creatures through a door leading to a tunnel. Each creature's evolution tunnel differs by their element, hence one creature (usually) is not able to traverse through another creature's tunnel to cleanse their genes; else death is almost certain.

God evolution is extremely dangerous, in fact, many creatures are unable to pass through the cleansing and die midway. A strong foundation is required before attempting the evolution. A creature also needs to be strong enough in the first place to call upon their evolution.

Throughout the process of gene cleansing, beast souls, foreign gene cores, slave-spirits, and other things stored within the sea of consciousness are almost certain to be disintegrated, as they are likely not of the EXACT same element as the one going through the evolution.

Upon the completion of evolution, creatures are usually left with around ~4000 units of strength, maybe 10000 for those with stronger foundation (excluding the fact that a god may be heavily injured right after evolution). Time is required for a newly evolved god to regain their strength, which may reach up to the hundreds of thousands (100,000x).

### **Gods in the 5th sanctuary**

The 5th sanctuary, the last sanctuary, is situated in the 'actual' universe, where humans, Asuras and other hidden races coexist (such as evolved creatures from the sanctuary). This sanctuary is for newly evolved gods, with most having the strength of around 70,000 and not surpassing ~150,000.

Most creatures upon evolving from the 4th sanctuary are unseen from the actual universe, the 5th sanctuary. This is because almost all of them are 'kidnapped' by the *Gods Organisation* which is run by an old Special Ops Division leader of the crystal race, along with many other god class creatures. Which explains why gods are rarely seen in the actual universe. The *Gods Organisation* is not to be confused with *New World Organisation* which is actually only a branch of the organization run by the former.

The gene system, upon evolving to a god will be filled with question marks for most information; losing much of its previous use, and also its guide towards the evolver. This is because genes are no longer classified as ordinary, primary... etc. But are instead classified under 5 other different names, namely:

Baron - Viscount - Earl - Marquis - Duke. With Duke being the strongest, and Baron being the weakest.

But it is to be noted that ALL creatures upon evolving to a god or being born as a god, will not be classified under any of these categories, as it is essential to first form your gene armor before being truly classified as a god.

### **Gene Armor**

Creatures upon evolving to a god have all their gene cores merged (if you have more than 1 in the first place). Hence the next step of becoming a real god tier creature is to condense what is called 'gene armor'. Upon condensing gene armor a creature's strength will explode instantly into the hundreds of thousands (only when wearing the armor). And upon a god's death, this armor can be dropped as an item, allowing other creatures to harness the power of a god that has condensed it's gene armor, albeit with less proficiency, at around 30% of its maximum power.

After condensing the gene armor, the creature will be kicked out of the 5th sanctuary, and into the 'real' world, the outer universe, where true gods roam everywhere. And this is the true beginning of a gods path.

*[It should be noted that there ARE gene armors from dead gods lying within the 5th sanctuary, and this has to do with the Crystallizers breaking the barriers between the outer universe and the 5 sanctuaries, having a great war with many, many creatures.]*

The reason for being kicked out of the 5th sanctuary is much similar to the reason that creatures are not able to go back to previous sanctuaries; their power levels are too strong. The reason that sanctuaries are NAMED sanctuaries in the first place, is because they ARE. Sanctuaries protect endangered species from those of the outer universe, allowing them to thrive in a protected environment, with other species of similar power levels (hence why there are 5 classes of sanctuaries). And upon evolving to a god with gene armor, a creature is no longer qualified to remain in the sanctuary and is therefore released back into the wild, the outer universe.

An exception to this rule is the bloodline of the Nine-Life Cat. People with it are able to shift back and forth between the sanctuaries and the outer universe at will, and take others with them in the process. They won't be rejected themselves, though other creatures will be kicked out on their own if brought inside.

### **Gods in the Great Gene Universe**

All species in the outer universe are gods, and those who haven't condensed their gene armor are in the minority. Han Sen [along with the Nine-Life Cat from the 4th sanctuary], due to circumstances was teleported to the outer universe, arriving at the [Kate Race]. (not to be confused with Nine-Life Cat Race).

Here, power levels are no longer measured the same way but are instead measured using leaves on a tree. A person being tested will drop their blood on a special type of tree, and the tree will drop leaves of a certain color (representing element), with each leaf equating to around 10000 points of strength in the human universe.

Han Sen, a human, basically non-existent in the outer universe measures 10 leaves upon testing at first, while most cat race civilians measure at around 20 leaves, showing the baseline strength of all those in the outer universe.

It is, however, to be noted that Han Sen triggers a resonance between the tree with his blood, signifying that his gene purity is at a very high level, meaning that his chances of becoming a noble is much higher (50%) than when compared to others (<1%).

[Nobility will be explained in the next section]

Other than that, the outer universe no longer operates the same as within the 4th sanctuary and below, and is relatively more structured and contains a legitimate governing system, making needless slaughter much less prevalent.

Races also occupy their own planets, and in some cases, regions in space. Stronger races naturally occupy more regions, while weaker races may not even own planets of their own, resulting in slavery.

### **Nobility**

The core cultivating system of the outer world. Those gifted with the ability to condense their own geno weapon begin their journeys as a noble, starting as a Baron. Geno weapons are not the same as gene armors. For most, upon completing the condensation of their gene armor, they will have a chance (<1%) of having a second round of condensation, forming their geno weapon or becoming xenogenic.

It is a common thought that once a gene armor is formed and the geno weapon isn't the creature will no longer have any chance of re-condensing their geno weapon, losing the chance of being a noble forever. This is false, though it requires specific types of rare materials to do so.

Geno weapons are looked up upon by the masses, as they are quite rare within normal races, and are considered the backbone of weaker races. Those who have condensed geno weapons are MUCH stronger than those who haven't, creating a rift in power levels much like those who are of the super rank, and those who are of the sacred blood rank in creatures of the sanctuaries.

While Han Sen did NOT condense his geno weapon on his first attempt at condensing his gene armor, he does have the help of the sanctuary system, which finally recovers its abilities once Hansen had condensed his gene armor. It allows Han Sen and others from the sanctuaries to increase their strength through consuming xenogenic genes much like consuming regular creatures in the sanctuaries, which can allow him to reach a threshold for evolution before consuming the relevant materials. This also only applies to his armor corresponding to The Story of Genes, as he succeeded with every other armor.

Geno weapons can also have different forms, the primary one being gene armor [armor], as the original form. Other forms usually include equipment [tools, weapon, etc]. A geno weapon MAY have more than 2 forms, but this is extremely rare.

### **Xenogenics**

While condensing a geno weapon, ALL species without exception have a chance to turn xenogenic. Instead of condensing a geno weapon, the core instead melts and fuses with a creature's body, strengthening it and making it at least as strong (but often stronger) as a species with a geno weapon.

While xenogenics are predominantly stronger than other noble class species [Baron and above], the setback is they lose their sanity in most cases. While this can be reversed by very rich upper-class races, this is usually not something that would be done by average nobles.

The xenogenic change is irreversible, and also unpreventable. While most lower class noble species fear the xenogenic change, most upper classes welcome it, as they are usually much stronger than those of the same class.

Since xenogenics no longer have gene armor, a certain part (or parts) of their body will usually contain their xenogenic genes, which when killed, can be harvested by other species to forge weapons or medicinal pills to enforce cultivation. They can also be consumed directly by creatures from the sanctuaries to strengthen themselves. These body parts are usually the specialty of a certain species, so for a wolf, it might be their claws, and for the angel race, its a bone in their wings. These body parts are also classified into 2 main types among the races, one being the weapon forging type (hard) and the other being the pill forging type (soft, less expensive). Weapon forging types are more sought after for their uses.

Such xenogenic body parts are known [xenogenic materials] in the Great Gene Universe, and many are required to forge even a single pill or weapon (up to hundreds), meaning noble races have to be massacred for other noble races to expand.

[It should be noted that species MAY have more than one xenogenic type if they have more than one gene core, and it is also possible to be a xenogenic and have a geno weapon at the same time.]

*to be continued.*

### **Upper-Class Species**

short summary - OP races that are certain to become nobles once condensing a geno weapon.

### **Geno Palace - Species Ranking**

short summary - a palace where all races fight and kill to have a position in. A position which grants a race a huge boost in gene level, to the point where all members will go up by 1 qualitative class.

There is a fixed 10,000 lanterns. By convention, the one to light a lantern takes their race name as a last name and Alpha as a first name. Lighting a lantern makes the race a high race, while not having a lantern makes it a low race.

The Geno Being Scroll occurs once every 100 years is used for the ranking. Kings and Half-Deified are considered the same level for the purpose of Geno Being Scroll: A half-deified 1st layered domain is a King 10th layered domain, a half-deified 9th layered domain is a King 18th layered domain.

### **Crystallizer's Legacy - The Crystal Palace**

short summary - the crystallizers were very strong, not in genes but in their technology. But their ego was stronger, they developed a deified weapon and tried to take a spot away from the demon race in the god's palace, then got annihilated.

### **Demon Race - Asura race Origins**

short summary - The Asura race in the Alliance originates from one of Ancient Devil's generals. Asura betrayed Ancient Devil and killed the God Ancient Devil summoned.
