Super Gene Hunting Ground

The Great Elder Gu Bo holds a very high status across the Witch Star.

Though Witch Star doesn’t have a formal unified organization or supreme leader, the Genetic Store acts as a special organization spread throughout Witch Star, practically becoming Witch Star’s ”United Nations Organization.” As the Chief Elder of this organization, Gu Bo is naturally considered the supreme leader.

Moreover, his leadership is not nominal but backed by strong authority; whether it’s the former Emperor of Great Dragon, Long Heng, or the current White Elephant Emperor, they both hold Gu Bo in awe.

Even though everyone is familiar with Gu Bo,

familiarity does not eclipse the respect he’s shown upon meeting.

Few people have a close relationship with Elder Gu Bo like Yang Xiao does.

This close relationship transcends age and power levels.

Everyone was astonished to see Yang Xiao tug on Elder Gu Bo’s beard.

Especially the White Elephant Emperor, who earlier was acting superior in front of Yang Xiao, was left utterly embarrassed.

Damn, when did this kid get so close with Gu Bo? More than I am!

Gu Bo and Yang Xiao burst into laughter.

Gu Bo held Yang Xiao’s hand, his eyes full of admiration.

”You brat, I have heard some things about you, and they far exceed my expectations. Hmm, very good!”

Yang Xiao then respectfully bowed to Gu Bo, saying:

”Thank you, Elder, for your care. I, Yang Xiao, wouldn’t be where I am today without your support. Words cannot express my gratitude, but I promise to repay you in the future.”

”Haha, alright, I’ll remember that. I have a great-granddaughter, quite a beauty; would you like her to be your wife?”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

”Haha, just kidding, I know you have many wives already; I wouldn’t dare push my great-granddaughter into the fire pit.”

”...”

Yang Xiao felt immensely embarrassed, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Long Jing beside him.

Long Jing only gave Yang Xiao a sidelong glance and quickly resumed her normal expression.

She had long known about Yang Xiao having wives on Purple Origin Star and Earth, and though it hurt and made her jealous at first, she has come to terms with it over time.

In Long Jing’s heart, she feared she might never be with Yang Xiao, because recalling her deceased father would always unsettle her.

Gu Bo stepped onto the podium and addressed the crowd:

”Ladies and gentlemen, I just returned from Gamma Star. I am aware of the situation on Witch Star; there’s no need to panic. As long as we unite, we can overcome this challenge.

Since I’ve just returned, I need to gather some information. Emperor of Great Dragon, White Elephant Emperor, Flying Leopard Emperor, and Yang Xiao, along with the eight elders of the Elder Court, please stay behind for a brief meeting to communicate. The rest may leave for now; we will hold an assembly later for detailed discussion, how about that?”

The crowd immediately responded, saying,

”We follow the Great Elder’s instructions!”

Everyone left the hall with excitement and hope.

The nine elders from the Genetic Store Elder Court, along with Yang Xiao, entered a small room for the meeting.

Gu Bo spoke first, saying:

”People, I’ve been away from Witch Star for nine years, traveling across different planets. Do you know what I’ve been searching for?”

Yang Xiao, White Elephant Emperor, Long Jing, Wanyan He, and the seven elders of the Elder Court aside from the Second Elder all looked at Gu Bo in surprise.

”Five hundred years ago, the Thanos Saint from Dwarf Star invaded Witch Star with his army, initiating a battle. Eight Saint Level Supremes from Witch Star combined their forces against him, ultimately using mutual destruction to defeat Thanos Saint.

At that time, two Saint Level Supremes were elders from our Elder Court. Before dying, they imparted a secret to the next Chief Elder.

They said Thanos Saint would resurrect and invade Witch Star again in a few hundred years.”

The Third Elder paused, asking:

”May I ask, Great Elder, how did the two Supreme ancestors discover such a thing? Also, one thing I’m puzzled about is, wasn’t Thanos killed alongside eight Saint Level Supremes? How can Thanos Saint be resurrected when human genetic evolution hasn’t reached immortality?”

The rest nodded in agreement.

Yang Xiao knew the truth but kept it to himself.

Gu Bo nodded.

”I had the same question until I became Chief Elder and the previous Chief Elder shared with me,

On Witch Star, there’s a mystical cultivation method that allows one’s spirit and soul to be condensed from a dying physical body to seek new host bodies, seizing possession to control their consciousness and achieve rebirth.”

Everyone, except the Second Elder and Yang Xiao, was shocked.

”Oh, such a mystical cultivation method exists?”

Gu Bo glanced at Yang Xiao with a hint of surprise but didn’t inquire further.

”After the battle with Thanos Saint, six Saint Level Supremes from the Gu family weren’t killed instantly; the other six died.

The two elders saw the light surge from Thanos’ corpse, forming a sphere that was stolen by several Dwarf Star beings,

Upon capturing several Dwarf Star leaders and interrogating them, they learned about the Dwarf Star’s mystical cultivation method.

They also told the two Supreme elders that Thanos Saint would likely break through to Saint Level Realm again in two centuries, and he would surely return to Witch Star Continent.”

The crowd listened to Gu Bo’s speech, astounded.

”After the battle, Witch Star suffered severe losses, heavily depleting its Qi, the two Supreme elders instructed the next Chief Elder to keep the secret to prevent panic,

and the Genetic Store was commanded to cultivate Witch Star talents for the war hundreds of years ahead,

However, Thanos Saint didn’t reinvade Witch Star in two hundred years directly; decades ago, spaceships from Dwarf Star secretly visited Witch Star, and upon capture, we learned.

Thanos Saint had transmitted his spirit successfully back then but couldn’t establish a host capable of breaking through to the Saint Level Supreme Realm until a hundred years ago.

This recent host with high evolution talent finally showed hope for Thanos Saint’s rebirth and evolution journey.

For five hundred years, this is why Thanos Saint hasn’t yet reinvaded Witch Star.

Now, Dwarf Star has sent large forces twice to Witch Star, indicating Thanos Saint’s invasion is imminent.

But with our current Witch Star strength lacking even a single Saint Level Supreme, I truly don’t see anyone capable of defeating Thanos Saint.

Witch Star’s fate is at stake!”

The meeting room fell silent, everyone feeling pressured.
