## Description

Life Gene Level (生命基因层次, *Shēngmìng jīyīn céngcì*, lit. Life Gene Level, also seen as 基因方面, *Jīyīn Fāngmiàn,* lit. Gene Aspect, or 生命层次, *Shēngmìng céngcì*, lit. Life Level, or 基因进化, *Jīyīn jìnhuà*, lit. Gene Evolution, or 基因层次, *Jīyīn céngcì*, lit. Gene Level) can be considered the summation of the foundation of an organism. Within each race there are differing levels of genetic quality; when Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen meet Ming Yu, he explains that the tens of millions of races within the Human Race are sorted into 10 large groups, with the highest-quality group reaching Domain Master at maturity and the lowest grade (such as Earthling) reaching nothing at maturity. While using things like bloodline catalysts to evolve the quality of one's Bloodline is possible, this is still different from the Life Gene Level of an individual. As an individual cultivates to World Master, their cells grow and evolve, and in the end, without any means of augmentation or evolution, all of the Human Race reaches the same foundation level at the pinnacle World Master.

However, across races, species, etc. this limit is different. The story treats the human race's Life Gene Level as the standard, essentially you can say that a human pinnacle World Master without any encounters, augmentation, etc., has a Life Gene Level of 1. Different species have a Life Gene Level equal or higher than this (we never see anyone with a Life Gene Level lower than 1); the Golden Horned Beast race has a Life Gene Level of 10, so 10 times that of a human. Life Gene Level may also be related to the Lifespan; for example, the Golden Horned Beast can live 10 times longer than a human. The royal bloodlines of the Demon Race also exceed that of humans; we explicitly learn that the Sky Wolf race has a Life Gene Level of 6. Generally speaking, the higher the Life Gene Level, the larger the body. Individuals can work to increase their Life Gene Level, but without something that breaks the Universe Laws, there are still limits. For example, ordinary lifeforms can only reach a Life Gene Level of 100, but Special Lifeforms have a limit of 10,081 times. If one could perform Possession on a Special Lifeform, they could increase their limit from 100 to 10,081. According to Primal Chaos City Leader, many Universe Venerables only improve their Life Gene Level to 10, so one can imagine how difficult it is.

## Immortals

While the differences in Life Gene Level can be apparent even at World Master level (remember that simply in terms of the body's ability, a pinnacle World Master Golden Horned Beast is 10 times stronger than a pinnacle World Master Human!), the differences become extraordinarily important when one cultivates to Immortal level. When breaking through to Immortal, even the strongest World Masters have a limit of immediately having the strength of a pinnacle Immortal King, that is 100,000 times that of a pinnacle World Master. However, this limit is multiplied by the body's Life Gene Level. That means that when Luo Feng became an Immortal, because his Earthling body had a Life Gene Level of 3,000, his Earthling body became 300 million times stronger than that of a pinnacle World Master! To power a body with that level of strength, upon becoming Immortal, a user would require a larger amount of divine power, but the resulting Immortal Body would be incredibly large, able to fuel powerful techniques and provide divine power to a body as needed. Their God Country is also augmented to be stronger than ordinary lifeforms'. These differences can cause clear discrepancies between tiers. Bark Mirror King, a Special Lifeform with a Life Gene Level of 2,000, was respected as an Immortal King who could fight Universe Venerables!

The importance of Life Gene Level carries on even as a cultivator gets stronger. When a cultivator breaks through to Universe Venerable, their Divine Body becomes 100 times stronger than their Immortal fighter body. If one's Life Gene Level has been increased, you can see the differences between Universe Venerables; their bodies can swallow much larger amounts of power from the universe origin than ordinary lifeforms. A human Universe Overlord is a different level from a Special Lifeform Universe Overlord; while a human Universe Overlord can be expected to have a Life Gene Level of 100, high-level law comprehension and can rival mediocre Universe Masters, a special organism Universe Overlord would be expected to have a Life Gene Level in the thousands! This would mean their Immortal Body would be at least 10 times larger than a human's, their Divine Power would be at least 10 times more pure, and their attacking power would be at least 10 times stronger! They would be able to obtain stronger Arcana, and with their huge Divine bodies, they would be able to stay alive against Universe Masters for a longer period of time. However, this also meant that resurrecting a Special Lifeform would be much more difficult than resurrecting an ordinary life form. In addition to making their divine power stronger, once a Universe Master reached a Life Gene Level of 10,000, they would be able to activate the secret engravings on their Xeon Arcana, allowing them to execute a True God-level secret technique (so top-tier Universe Master Level 6).

## Perfect Life Gene Level

Without breaking Universe Laws, the Perfect Life Gene Level for creatures under Universe Master is 10,081 times that of an ordinary life form. It is very rare even for special organisms to reach this level; it is implied that neither Venerable Ancestral Tree nor Nine Remoteness Master have reached 10,081, just somewhere around 10,000. When a flesh-and-blood body reaches the perfect life gene level, its Divine Body becomes over 90,000 kilometers. When an individual reaches the perfect life gene level for the first time, if they are present in the Original Universe or another universe with a similar level of power, they will be bestowed a gift from the universe origin - a supreme inherited technique! This is a one-time occurrence, but the techniques bestowed are incredible and difficult to imagine.

However, once one becomes a Universe Master, they are no longer bound by the limit of 10,081! As they essentially live outside of space and time (due to their comprehension of Law of Space and Law of Time), even ordinary lifeforms could exceed a Life Gene Level of 100 once they became Universe Masters. That being said, most Universe Masters were able to improve their Life Gene Level to 1,000, but the vast majority of them couldn't increase it to 5,000. As for reaching 10,081, that was legendary. When one became a True God, they wouldn't be able to use divine power exceeding a Life Gene Level of 10,081 in the Original Universe or Universe Ocean.

Once one attempts to become a True God through the use of Divine Power rather than the use of comprehension of the Original Laws, they must surpass the Perfect Life Gene limit of 10,081. While this is much more difficult than following the law path, it has great benefits to those who reach certain thresholds. Once someone's Life Gene Level exceeded 10,081, they could immediately change their God Country into a Miniature Universe, but the power improvement was negligible. If one's Life Gene Level reached 30,000, their Divine Body would become 10 times larger when they became True Gods, with a limit of 1,000,000 kilometers. This would also mean that their divine power would be multiplied by 1,000; additionally, this advantage would remain even after they surpassed True God level! If they reached 60,000, their Divine Body would become 1,000 times larger, with their divine power multiplied by 1,000,000,000 and a size limit of 100,000,000 kilometers. If they reached 90,000, they would theoretically have an Divine Body of whatever size they wished, and limitless divine power! This was complicated by the need to draw power from the universe origin; in the Wu Kingdom, if an inheritor reached the Life Gene Level of 90,000, the previous inheritors would prepare a large number of valuables to store the divine power necessary for the new inheritor to form an Immortal body of the maximum size. However, if one has a sufficiently large Divine Body, they can use it to absorb the power. One has to know, even though these bodies reached these amazing sizes, because the Life Gene Level surpassed perfection, not only were their bodies not cumbersome, their speed and agility increased!

## Ultimate Life Gene Level

The true maximum Life Gene Level we see in the story is 100,000. When Luo Feng's original body reached this level, the supreme law descended to congratulate him, causing every life form within the Original Universe to kneel to show respect; only Zuo Shan Ke was able to resist kneeling! When he reached this level, not only did he get the benefits of a Life Gene Level of 90,000 but he saw the limit of the third level of Divine Body; his Remote Ocean Divine Body reached a diameter of 12 light-years.

Life Gene Level also impacts the size of one's Miniature Universe. The smallest miniature universe of a True God of Void Space had a diameter of about 1 billion light-years. The legends stated that for a True God of Void Space who attained a Life Gene Level of 90,000, their miniature universe would have a diameter of 10 billion light-years - comparable to the smallest miniature universe of an Eternal True God!

Luo Feng's miniature universe exceeded the size of a True God's; for the all other True Gods, the diameter of their universe was 100 million light-years. This was because their genesis was always the same situation; once they reached 100 million light-years, they would begin working out their internal structures, and when True Gods broke through to True God of Void Space, those structures and the powers of the True God would affect the size of their miniature universes. In Luo Feng's case, the genesis of his miniature universe was something unrecorded! With a Life Gene Level of 100,000, his miniature universe had a diameter of 1 billion light-years. Additionally, as the origin of a miniature universe is tied to the heart of a True God, his origin and his heart were both 1,000 times stronger than of a True God at the same level.

He also came across other benefits; he was able to hide his life forces so no one could detect him. He also obtained a power called 'Invisible and Formless,' which allowed him to change his body structure and life forces to anything at his level or below! He could even emanate forces the exact opposite of divine power; that is, he could emanate the forces of a Sector Beast! Reaching this level also made it so his miniature universe could not be devoured by a Sector Beast as long as his 'Beginning of the Origin' existed. He was able to comprehend the insight of universe operations, and his Willpower evolved to the limit of an Eternal True God.
