Attributes are infinitely increasing, I dominate multiple

Card ~ hang up the phone.

Luo Yixue raised her head, took a deep breath, and continued to look into the laboratory.

There, Mu Cang was standing quietly and thinking.

once.

Mu Cang was also curious about the genes in his body.

After the soul and physical attributes have continued to expand to such an exaggerated state.

Have his genes become completely different from those of normal humans?

If his complete genes are extracted, another 'Mu Cang' can be cloned.

So, can this clone also possess all of his powerful attributes?

With this profound question in mind, Mu Cang once conducted extremely in-depth research on this issue.

He controlled his body and broke a hair of his own accord.

Then he used powerful telekinesis to crush this hair, which was much tougher than the spiritual crystalline carbyne bundle tube, into micron-sized pieces.

From the fragments of this hair, Mu Cang spent all his energy to extract his complete genes.

After careful observation and research on his own genes, Mu Cang learned a surprising fact.

That's his DNA.

Surprisingly, the difference from normal humans is not that big.

Or rather.

Theoretically, 'Mu Cang' cloned with this gene would not have such super powerful attributes as he does now.

Even the strength of the clone itself.

None of them would be much stronger than a martial arts master at the level of refining the orifice.

This extremely paradoxical phenomenon made Mu Cang very puzzled.

Until I acquired a massive amount of life science knowledge and conducted more in-depth study and research on nature and genes.

Mu Cang finally came to his senses.

It turns out that my past self was just like ordinary people.

Falling into a misunderstanding called [genetic determinism].

According to his research.

It turns out that genes cannot truly perfectly express all the abilities and attributes he possesses.

Qi and blood, true qi, divine power, and the consciousness of destroying all illusions, all these cannot be expressed.

And Mu Cang discovered it after a lot of experiments.

The fundamental source of some rare superpowers may not come from genes.

More likely, it comes from the soul.

And after using his psychic abilities many times to sense and interfere with other people's spirits and souls.

Mu Cang also discovered that the information abundance of the human soul seems to be far greater than its external material body.

Then follow this logic.

Some superpowers do not produce clear abnormal organs or physiological tissues in the bodies of superpowers.

For example, abilities such as prophecy, curses, remote sensing, walking through walls, seizing bodies, space teleportation, and force field control, etc.

The source may be in the depths of the soul, rather than one's own genes.

The so-called super genes are probably just some manifestations of the corresponding super powers on the material level.

Not its true nature.

Of course, most conventional superpowers still have their roots deep in the genes.

However, even if the same super gene is implanted.

Two different individuals, the effects and magnitude of their abilities.

Many times, it's not the same.

This is most likely also related to the soul.

When I was on earth in my previous life.

Mu Cang, like thousands of others, is a cloud reader of "The Selfish Gene".

I haven't really read the full text.

If we just read business from the word "selfish", we will take it for granted that human beings are just slaves of genes.

Or rather.

Mu Cang took it for granted at that time.

Human nature, talents and talents are all determined by the genes in the body.

But in fact, this is a deep misunderstanding.

According to his current research.

In the entire nature, not only humans, but cats and dogs, chickens and ducks, mosquitoes and flies, tigers and lions, and even bacteria and viruses.

The same thing counts.

Basically, the traits of all organisms on Blue Star are not entirely determined by genes in the body.

Genes cannot control living things.

The talents, abilities, and characteristics possessed by a creature.

In fact, most of them are shaped by their own characteristics, the close interaction between the individual and the surrounding environment, the various events experienced by the individual, and many random factors.

The real influence of genes is very limited.

Similarly, there are many factors that lead to developmental changes in biological traits.

Genes are just one of them.

There are also biological macromolecules, environmental factors, random factors, etc.

All will affect the development and changes of biological traits.

You can try it, start from the most basic concept of manipulation, and think about it carefully.

Can the manipulated person modify, exploit, or abandon the manipulator?

If so, what kind of manipulative relationship is this?

But as manipulated (so called) human cells.

\u003c--\u003e\u003e

br\u003e But you can change the expression of your own genes through methods and pathways such as transcription factors, second messenger systems, epigenetic modifications, etc.

It can even change the sequence of the gene itself through the break repair mechanism of the DNA chain.

To put it bluntly, with the genetic technology Mu Cang currently possesses.

It is easy to modify, utilize or discard multiple gene segments in organisms.

Whether it is human genes or genes of other species.

As far as Mu Cang knows.

Many microorganisms in nature can even pick up genes from other organisms and corpses and add them to their own cells.

For example, bdelloid rotifers.

This strange species can extract genes from other species by eating and add them to its own cells to function.

Moreover, organisms can voluntarily or involuntarily not produce offspring throughout their lives.

Even commit suicide.

Genes have no ability or mechanism to stop it.

Therefore, genes have never been the design drawings of organisms, but only the toolbox of cells.

From the human genome, even the information of "how human organs should be arranged" cannot be found.

Humans have never been built by genes commanding cells.

Instead, cells look for usable things from genes according to the internal and external environment.

Then interact with the environment and jointly shape the constantly deformed things.

This is particularly evident in cancer cells.

Therefore, the definition of life should be [information shaped by natural selection].

Rather than the humble slaves of genes.

As genetic material, genes are essentially carriers of information.

Its most important property is the continuity of information.

Even the existence of genes itself is not necessary for life.

Let's talk about something bigger.

If we look at the world from a broader perspective.

It can be said that anything that can self-produce and undergo natural selection meets the definition of life.

Whether it is a macromolecule with replication function but without any DNA structure.

Or an electronic program in a computer, it can be considered life.

For example, there is a cellular automaton that is specifically used to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution of complex systems.

It can be regarded as a special dynamic model or as life.

Thoughts flowed.

Mu Cang thought of the Aurora Clan again.

"However, the Aurora Clan is a little different. The backbone gene of this ancient group is so strong that it is almost unshakable.

It is not affected by natural selection at all. Even if a small section of the gene fragment is removed, it will cause the overall structure to completely collapse.

It is as if a special anti-disassembly device is installed.

Add to that the super-powered components surrounding the outer periphery of its gene chain...

It does not look like a gene structure that can evolve in nature at all.

The structure is too regular, and this regularity with a clear sense of deliberateness seems to be artificially made."
