Zhou Hong frowned slightly and asked somewhat doubtfully, "What do you mean by perfect genes?"
"As we all know, current human genes are imperfect and have many defects. With the help of new substances, we can perfectly repair these defective genes. For example, every time a cell divides and replicates, it will automatically repair itself to be better. Thus, eternal life may even be possible in the future. In short, there are countless possibilities in research focusing on genes and cells. In the future, humans on Earth will not need to rely on traditional methods like absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate. By modifying and optimizing genes, they can achieve the same results. Isn't that exciting?"
Zhou Hong chuckled. He hadn't expected humans to have such capabilities. This was the first time he'd heard that cultivation could be achieved through other means, making the absorption of spiritual energy a traditional method.
"It's quite interesting, a new cultivation method through gene optimization, sounds quite plausible. Then why didn't humans discover this before?"
"That's all thanks to the abundance of resources in your sub-world. After arriving here, Earth's scientists discovered at least over 200 new elements. The current periodic table of elements in the sub-world has hundreds more entries than on Earth. Naming these newly discovered elements has become a difficult task. Zhou Hong, just wait and see. Your sub-world is about to undergo a complete transformation."
"That's good, I'm looking forward to it." Zhou Hong nodded. He also wanted to see if Earthlings' new cultivation method could truly contend with the traditional one. Coincidentally, he had brought in 38 billion giants. These giants were undoubtedly traditional cultivators. Let them engage in a clash between traditional and new methods in the sub-world.
"By the way, Zhou Hong, you mentioned earlier that you also had something to tell us. What is it?" the others finally asked.
"It's like this, our sub-world now has an additional 38 billion people."
"What? So many people?" Everyone was startled. After all, only 3 billion people had come from Earth, and now there were ten times that amount.
"Where did they come from? Did you bring people from another world into this one?"
"To be precise, they are giants. However, I've now shrunk their bodies by 100 times, making them indistinguishable from ordinary humans. The thing is, these giants are originally a powerful cultivation race. Their strongest cultivators are at least at the Soul Division stage, and there are many of them. Following this, this sub-world will witness a major upheaval. I don't know how these powerful giants will treat Earthlings, but it's undeniable that Earthlings will face their greatest tribulation, and it's possible that more than half of them might perish."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
"I'm not joking. Hurry and inform all the Earthlings here to come up with countermeasures. I will give everyone 100 years. During these 100 years, the giants will not discover the Earthlings. After 100 years, the game officially begins."
"Why would you do this? The initial 3 billion Earthlings chose to come to your sub-world because they trusted you. Now you're introducing such a powerful race," Qiao Xiaoyu asked Zhou Hong, unable to comprehend.
"Don't blame me. It's for everyone's benefit. Comfort breeds decay. Only external stimuli can make everyone stronger. Originally, I was still worried, but after hearing you say that Earth's scientists have discovered new substances that can continuously perfect genes and invent a new cultivation method, I'm not worried at all now. I have full expectations for Earthlings' new cultivation method. Keep it up, Earthlings, you can do it."
Although Zhou Hong was full of anticipation, his wives felt worried for the Earthlings.
Currently, Zhou Hong's wives had almost become the leaders of all Earthlings. Whenever Earth's scientists made any significant discovery, they would report it to them immediately.
This was understandable, as they were Zhou Hong's women and the closest to him.
Over the years, they had unknowingly become the highest echelon of the Earth Federation.
"We must accept what comes. Perhaps Zhou Hong is right. Life for Earthlings here has become too comfortable. 99% of ordinary citizens have nothing to do besides eating, drinking, and having fun every day. They don't worry about getting sick, nor do they worry about not having enough to eat. They spend their days chasing girls, drinking, and enjoying life. Only the scientists are crazy about scientific discoveries. What's the point of continuing like this? It's just living a peaceful 100 years," Changsun Qinghe sighed.
"Yes, I've also seen this phenomenon. Since arriving here, everyone has been free from disaster and disease, and material resources are abundant. There are no worries about food or housing. Everyone has forgotten how they struggled for survival and mortgage payments back on Earth."
"Therefore, what Zhou Hong is doing is right. There must be a crisis for better development. Moreover, there is still a hundred-year buffer period."
Soon, Zhou Hong's wives came to terms with it.
"Then let's immediately convene a global assembly."
"Okay."
Zhou Hong's wives left immediately.
"Hey, don't all leave, at least leave one to keep me company!" Zhou Hong shouted.
"No time, entertain yourself!" the women said in unison.
"Damn it." Zhou Hong was speechless.
However, Zhou Hong then chuckled. Seeing his wives on Earth busy with their own affairs made him happy.
"Keep it up, Earthlings. I hope you create a world that is different for me," Zhou Hong said to himself.
As Zhou Hong's strength grew, the area of his sub-world would also expand, and subsequent layers would emerge, much like the distinction between the mortal realm and the immortal realm.
As the master of the world, Zhou Hong naturally hoped that his world would have something different in the future. The new cultivation method created by Earthlings had caught his eye, and he was full of anticipation for it.
Without further thought, Zhou Hong withdrew from the sub-world. As its master, he would naturally not interfere with its development. Even if, in the future, Earthlings were wiped out until only a few hundred remained, Zhou Hong would not intervene.
Upon returning to the outside world, Zhou Hong smoothly passed through the passage and returned to the Tian Yang Continent.
Zhou Hong slowly descended from the sky and landed at the Taigu Academy.
However, the Taigu Academy was now in ruins, overgrown with weeds, a far cry from its former appearance.
Zhou Hong sighed. He knew that several years ago, at least 100 billion humans on this continent had been exterminated by giants. The remaining survivors must surely be hiding in corners, no longer daring to appear here openly.
