Chapter 15: The Thing Behind The Door Was Actually The Semen Of The Ancient Sages?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Legend had it that the ancient sages of genetic warriors had left behind some necessary means in order to prevent their high-quality genes from being completely cut off in the future, causing mankind to be unable to deal with the attacks of the mutated creatures.

According to the records in the ancient books, these methods were stored in many cities like the Eternal Stairs, which was compressed by a mysterious power and used as a testing space.

As long as someone could reach the final destination, the answer to the riddle would be revealed.

There were a total of 4 such spaces in Iron City. Other than the Eternal Stairs, the other 3 were small spaces that could only be used to test a single genetic attribute.

Although the Eternal Stairs was the most difficult one in terms of difficulty, these spaces all had a unique characteristic.

That was to test the power of a person’s genes. It had nothing to do with one’s strength.

It was like a tier 9 genetic warrior coming to the Eternal Stairs, enduring 5 times the gravity. When a tier 8 genetic warrior challenged the Eternal Stairs, they would have to endure 10 times the gravity, or even more.

If the strengths and weaknesses of 2 people’s genes were the same, the heights they could climb would be the same.

Only genetic warriors with higher quality genes could go further.

Originally, Viscount Green was the person who had the best hope of solving the mystery of the Strength Gene testing space in the Indigo Empire.

However, he still failed in the end. He was still a distance away from the finish line.

However, they did not expect that a young man who came out of the slums in Iron City would solve the mystery today.

Grandpa Elrond then turned his gaze to Emerson.

“He… is really surprising.”

Having seen countless geniuses, Grandpa Elrond could not help but sigh. “I didn’t expect that there would still be someone who could control the power of space in such a short time. Perhaps the genes in this kid’s body are not worse than those of the first generation genetic warriors, right?”

That was an extremely high evaluation. In Elrond’s life, even when he was facing Viscount Green, one of the most outstanding geniuses, he only say that Viscount Green was good.

In the space of the Eternal Stairs.

As Emerson reached the top, all the fallen stairs were restored to their original state.

He placed his hand on the door and, driven by curiosity, opened it.

Elrond, who was looking forward to the scene, suddenly realized that the crystal ball had actually exploded at that moment. He could no longer see the scene inside the Eternal Stairs.

The heavy white jade door let out a mournful cry from the ancient times. It had been sealed for many years, but it was finally opened again.

After a dazzling flash of light, Emerson found himself in an empty room.

There seemed to be no boundary around him. It was a vast white scene. Only the table in front of him, made of an unknown material, had 2 things on it.

One was a small blue ball that was emitting waves of cold air, and the other was a piece of paper.

Emerson walked forward and first picked up the paper to read it.

On it were the names of some people, as well as their genetic data and types.

There were a total of 10 high-quality genes with an S+ score. He did not know what they meant.

However, when he saw the milky-white stuff stored in the blue ball, Emerson’s expression immediately became strange.

“Could this be the semen of those 10 people?”

Emerson was somewhat speechless. Could it be that he had risked his life to come here and only obtained these semen that were completely useless to him?

F*ck!

What a huge loss.

However, after pondering for a moment, Emerson realized that this thing might not be useful to him, but it might be useful to others.

There were people in the black market of Iron City who had sold the semen of genetic warriors before. As for its usage, everyone knew about it.

Since he was unable to become a genetic warrior, he would place his hopes on the next generation. There were many people who had such thoughts.

Emerson was not someone who liked to waste things. Since he was already here, he might as well sell these 10 sets of semen. Perhaps he could earn a large sum of money.

“I wonder if there’s such a thing in the other spaces.”

As Emerson thought about it, he wrapped the small blue ball up with his clothes and hid it properly. Then, he walked out of the space.

In the end, he ran into someone he had never expected to see.

Grandpa Elrond!

The king of Iron City!

Just the aura Elrond gave off was enough to scare people away.

‘He won’t know that I got those things from the test, will he?’

Emerson muttered in his heart as he watched Grandpa Elrond walk closer and closer.

Elrond smiled amiably and said, “Your name is Emerson Cole, right?”

“Yes, Grandpa Elrond.”

“Just now, you passed the test and ascended the platform of the Eternal Stairs. You also saw that big door, right?”

“This…”

Emerson’s heart skipped a beat. If he told Elrond, he would definitely demand those things. If that was the case, he would have suffered for nothing.

“Don’t be afraid. I just want to know what you got from the place behind that door.”

Elrond thought that the prestige he had accumulated in Iron City over the years had frightened this child, so he lowered his tone again.

In fact, Emerson would not be frightened by Elrond. He just did not want to suffer a loss.

Should Emerson give it to Elrond or not?

Grandpa Elrond seemed to know that there was something behind that door. If he said that there was nothing behind it, he was afraid that a mysterious person would come to his new home to steal the blue ball.

Grandpa Elrond might even hate him as well. If that happened, he probably would not be able to survive in Iron City.

After thinking for a while, Emerson took out the piece of paper from his pocket and decided to hide half of it.

“Grandpa Elrond, I found this in that space. I can’t understand what it means, do you know anything about this?”

“Oh?”

Elrond did not expect Emerson would hand over the item so easily. Instantly, he had a good impression of Emerson. Then, he took the paper and read it carefully.

However, just as Elrond’s gaze landed on the first line, his pupils contracted.

Amken?

Legend had it that in the ancient times, Amken commanded 3,000 genetic warriors and reclaimed the territory of 5,000,000 square kilometers that had been occupied by mutated creatures.

He was dead for thousands of years. How did Amken’s name appear on this list.

Elrond looked down and was even more shocked.

There was a total of 10 people on the list. None of them had strength below King Level. All of them were extremely powerful humans recorded in the ancient books.

King Level was an existence that surpassed a tier 1 genetic warrior. Currently, there were only a few of them left.

However, what did that mean?

The piece of paper only contained the names of these people and their genetic data. What did that mean?

Elrond could not figure it out. He raised his head and asked Emerson again, “Didn’t you find anything else in that space?”

“No.”

Emerson’s face did not turn red when he lied. “However, I’m guessing that there might be similar spaces in the other 3 tests. There might be something in there which is related to this piece of paper.”

Elrond heard Emerson’s words and was immediately enlightened.
