1 Bloodline Inheritance

Sun Era, Blue Star Alliance, Yanjing Fortress.

Within the new army's Chaos Battalion.

"Ancient humans only had twenty-three chromosomes in their bodies."

"However, after the apocalypse, all humans gained an additional pair of chromosomes."

"This is why we humans now have abilities similar to monsters."

"Inheritance!"

***

On the training field podium, the new army's Chaos Battalion commander was explaining the key points of inheritance to the recruits.

Xu Mo stood quietly at the back of the crowd, his eyes filled with confusion. Large pieces of fragmented memories were surging into his mind.

Just moments ago, he was just an ordinary blue-collar worker.

However, he didn't expect that after coming out of the construction site's elevator, he would find that he had actually transmigrated.

He discovered that he had gone to a world parallel to Blue Star, and it was three thousand years older!

As the Chaos Battalion commander was explaining, Xu Mo's memories had fused with the ones the original owner had.

He was able to read through the memories the original owner had left on this planet.

*

Three thousand years ago, the Blue Star planet suddenly appeared in broad daylight.

After the nine stars aligned, it underwent a mutation and its size expanded countless times.

Affected by it, all the creatures on the planet underwent different degrees of mutation.

Almost none of them were spared!

The genes of animals and plants had strange transformations, especially when their sizes became illogical and huge, and their temperaments became extremely violent.

The originally docile animals became very aggressive and ferocious.

Now, the mutated animals and plants were collectively called monsters by the humans.

Besides that, humans could not destroy mutated monsters with firearms, not even with nuclear bombs.

Thus, the world order completely collapsed, and mankind faced a calamity.

The monsters seemed to have gained intelligence, and their hatred for humans from hunting them for so long rose to the extreme.

Due to this, they formed monster tides and started to attack human cities.

In just one year, the world's population had plummeted by more than 60%, and the living environment for humans had become extremely harsh.

Fortunately, the Nine Stars Alignment did not only affect animals and plants but also human genes.

Under special circumstances, mutated humans inherited special beast abilities.

They named this ability bloodline inheritance!

"The bloodline inheritance that I'm talking about now is a special ability that humans who have reached the age of eighteen will have a high chance of obtaining. However, this chance only comes by on a fixed time every year at the same time as the Nine Stars Alignment!"

Wan Jun's voice was extremely loud at this moment, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Xu Mo was awakened by this loud voice and subconsciously looked up at his commander.

"There's only ten minutes left until your big day!"

"All of you are orphans rescued from the dead by the Alliance. Now, it is time for you to serve the country!"

"You shall receive bloodline inheritance. From now on, just like your seniors, you will contribute everything to the Alliance and humanity. You will contribute everything to the future of mankind…"

The voice of the army grew louder and louder. The recruits who were listening to his speech were all boiling with excitement!

Everyone's eyes were filled with fervor.

For the Alliance's development, for the future of humanity… Just like their predecessors, they wanted to fight endlessly!

Xu Mo's gaze also became firm.

His memory fragments had allowed him to see countless seniors generously die to preserve the human race. Thinking of this almost made him tear up.

"Now that I've become Xu Mo of this world, I'll definitely follow my seniors' wills and become an Inheritor who will fight for humanity!"

From Wan Jun's introduction just now, Xu Mo had already learned that only the Inheritors were the centerpiece of this world!

Expert Inheritors flew into the sky and burrowed into the ground, burning mountains and boiling seas!

A random spell they cast could easily destroy a medium-sized fortress!

Imagining that scene, the passion in Xu Mo's eyes burned brighter!

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Star Glory…"

"I wonder what level of bloodline I will be able to inherit in the end? Gold would be the most suitable, Platinum would be even better, and Diamond would be unbelievable. As for Star Glory…"

Xu Mo recalled the memories that the original owner had left for him, leaving him in a daze.

In this world, bloodline inheritance was only the first step.

After that step, he still needed to work hard to cultivate before he could further increase his strength to match up with his bloodline level.

As an example, those who have a 1-star Silver bloodline initially started in 1-star Bronze in terms of strength.

Only through continuous hard work in raising their strength to 9-star Bronze would they have the chance to break through to 1-star Silver and reach the same realm as their bloodline. From then on, they would be able to unleash their bloodline's true power!

In the original owner's memories, he was Yanjing Fortress's Governor, and his inherited bloodline started in Gold-level.

After pouring in his blood, sweat, and tears did he manage to reach the same level as his bloodline, and that was how he became a powerful person in Yanjing Fortress.

"Everyone, remember. If you don't receive bloodline inheritance, don't blame yourself!"

"You are all the Alliance's pillars, humanity's elites. Our current Alliance is no longer as weak as it was a few thousand years ago!"

"If anyone can't awaken, they can join the big family of our Alliance Munitions Factory and continue to work for us!"

"Alright, let's not talk too much. There are still three minutes until the Nine Stars Alignment. Everyone, make your final preparations. Try your best to relax…"

Almost the second after Wan Jun finished speaking, the originally clear sky instantly turned gloomy.

Suddenly, in the sky, nine bright spots of light as bright as the sun appeared and slowly formed a straight line.

As they connected one by one, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped the atmosphere.

The aura soon covered Blue Star entirely, releasing indescribable fluctuations of energy.

Xu Mo stood in the crowd and looked up at the sky. His eyes were like torches. Just as Wan Jun had said, he completely relaxed his body and mind.

According to what Wan Jun said, only those who were completely relaxed could obtain more benefits from the bloodline inheritance brought by the star alignment!

Soon, the nine spots finally formed a completely straight line!

In an instant, countless thin and dense nine-colored flowing lights descended from the sky.

It quickly and accurately entered the body of every adult on Blue Star who had never received bloodline inheritance.

"Buzz…"

At this moment, the entire Blue Star planet let out a cry that sounded like a divine beast from prehistoric times!

The long cry confused everyone.

However, at this moment, every Inheritor's body suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

Above their heads, images of the bloodline they had inherited appeared.

Xu Mo saw this scene clearly. Although he couldn't see one for himself, he was sure.

These were the beasts that each Inheritor had received!

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly echoed in Xu Mo's mind.
