2547 Genetic Lock Above That of Alien Insects! Eternal Source had sensed Mexa’s intelligence long ago. But now, he felt that she was intelligent and suited to being a subordinate. There was no direct link between this suitability and her intelligence. Eternal Source was also intelligent but had not performed like she did when he first became Lin Yuan’s subordinate. Mexa could not only provide detailed explanations to Lin Yuan’s questions but also aid in his analysis. Luckily, Eternal Source knew that Lin Yuan was the type to care about ties. Once Lin Yuan acknowledged Eternal Source, he would not abandon Eternal Source just because Mexa was more impressive than him. Otherwise, he would no longer be able to remain by Lin Yuan’s side once Mexa reached the Afterlife Realm. After hearing Mexa’s explanation, Lin Yuan tossed her another Diamond fey storage box full of the Soldier Ration Radish’s vines. Given how special the alien insect world was, it was no wonder that it had been able to nurture four pinnacle insect Samsara Realm Dictators. Lin Yuan needed to properly investigate all of the alien insect world’s secrets. There was still one thing that Lin Yuan did not fully understand. Alien insects increased their power by obtaining vitality, which was extremely important to them. Yet, in all these millennia, no alien insect had tried to consume the egg in the sacred pond. They even periodically sacrificed almost 1,000,000 alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks to the sacred pool. There was no actual difference between the vitality in an alien insect with a Class 3 Genetic Lock and one with a Class 1 Genetic Lock. Not even an insect queen could ignore the vitality within millions of alien insects. The alien insects were basically using up resources and throwing them toward an unknown entity. This would not seem reasonable to anyone. “The alien insects obviously don’t know the exact identity of the insect egg soaking in the sacred pool. So why have you been providing it with resources? Won’t it be more beneficial to consume the egg and absorb the vitality within it?” Mexa had been basking in being acknowledged and praised by Lin Yuan. But now, she was stumped by his question. She had not kept a secret from Lin Yuan on purpose. She simply had not thought that the egg in the sacred pool could be consumed. Lin Yuan had opened her mind to a new possibility. In an instant, Mexa understood something. New insect empresses always automatically took care of this egg, and no insect empress had thought about harming it. When the insect empress desired the two Endless Gems, she had her status forcefully stripped away. Mexa always felt that this consequence was too serious and that insect empresses should not treat each other in such a way. But when she realized that the stone tablet might be related to the insect egg, she suddenly found such strict measures to be reasonable. This control over the mind, thought, and will was exactly that of the Genetic Lock, which the alien insects relied on upon! Female insects could decide if alien insects with Class 3 Genetic Locks lived or died. This was not just because of the female insects’ power but because the Genetic Locks gave those of higher levels the power to commandeer those of lower levels. Could it be that the egg had a Genetic Lock of a higher level and that the alien insects’ existence and derivation were all meant to facilitate the hatching of this egg? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 This thought caused a chill to run up Mexa’s back. In terms of genes, Lin Yuan was an outsider to the alien insects. But it was the words of this outsider that broke the restraints holding the alien insects back. The more she thought about it, the more her fear grew. If this egg hatched successfully, the alien insects would become subservient to it. Mexa was left at a momentary loss. She did not know what the right choice to make was. Should she follow the inclination of her Genetic Lock and look forward to the hatching of this egg, or should she try to preserve her position as an insect empress and attempt to secure her status at the top of the Genetic Lock food chain? The egg was already able to do all this before it had even hatched. Mexa found it difficult to imagine just how much control it would be able to exert once it did hatch. If this egg hatched and was unwilling to allow the alien insects to become loyal to Lin Yuan, what would she do now that she had already submitted to him? She had already told him everything about the alien insects’ Genetic Locks, giving him a degree of understanding. Hence, Mexa told Lin Yuan everything that was running through her mind. The corners of Lin Yuan’s lips curled upward. The more impressive the egg seemed to be, the happier he would be. He could be certain that the egg came from someplace else. The dimensional worlds could not produce a lifeform of such a level. Unlike the Abyss Red Lotus, the Earth’s Sacred Fruit did not possess abilities beyond that of the dimensional worlds. Hence, Lin Yuan could not cement his perception of the Earth’s Sacred Fruit. It was possible that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was a unique lifeform that was created by the subterranean world. On the other hand, the egg was just like the Abyss Red Lotus in that it possessed abilities beyond those of the dimensional worlds. Although a high-level egg had to possess a large amount of vitality, it should not be difficult to hatch. It must be this difficult to hatch because the alien insect world lacked the energy to trigger the hatching. If that were the case, the egg would never be able to hatch unless an external entity stepped in. Only four dimensional worlds had discovered the Class 6 dimensional rifts that linked to the main world. Besides the abyssal world that had yet to notice it, the marsh world only became aware after Lin Yuan enlightened them. The other three dimensional worlds had noticed the link to the main world. Still, only the alien insect world had reacted in such a violent manner and organized an invasion to harvest the main world’s resources. It was likely that the Genetic Lock was at play to give rise to such a situation. The unhatched egg hoped that resources for hatching would be found during the main world’s conquest. The will of the Genetic Locks subconsciously influenced all the insects without their noticing. Mexa was overly worried. Lin Yuan would not help the egg hatch until he was sure that the lifeform inside would be loyal to him. He would not risk losing control of the alien insects by going in unprepared. During his journey, Lin Yuan saw that the alien insect world was basically barren. Almost all of the alien insects had been sent to the main world. The few that had been sent back were guarding the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift’s entrance, awaiting the insect empresses’ return. As a result, no alien insects could be seen on the land where Lin Yuan was standing.
