Genetic Ascension Chapter 1214 Adaptation

Chapter 1214 Adaptation.

Sylas' eyes flashed open. He hadn't made the sort of progress he wanted to. Maybe it was because of his own Pride, but he didn't think it would be that hard once he got the idea.

In practice, though? It was a complete nightmare.

The problem with autophagy was that it would only target what your body deed useless or a waste. Logically, if that was going to happen naturally, it would already have done so.

Sylas was a D-Grade, so anything that was inferior should be sothing his body targeted to get rid of.

But if it was that easy, then everyone who elevated themselves to a new level would experience a true rebirth of sorts. While this did happen on a sowhat smaller scale, it wasn't the complete overhaul that Sylas was looking for.

He was trying to use \[Madness Control] to force the issue a bit, but the level of understanding that would take was sothing he wasn't prepped for at all.

It would definitely take the UniForge for him to have the ntal capacity to keep such a focused \[Madness Control] active. After all, he would be controlling his body down to a cellular level.

But there was an obvious issue with that.

His Scorned Wraps would destroy Androda if he tried to use it like that. It would register like he was using a Treasure to boost his power, and that would be a big no-no.

There were so blurry lines around that. Like when he used ti dilation to help him accelerate his pace to D-Grade, that hadn't registered as a problem. It wasn't the first ti he had used a thod like that either.

However, sothing so direct would never work.

That ant he had to force \[Madness Control] to a much higher level all on his own… at least in part.

If it was just \[Madness Control] alone he had, Sylas would have already accepted the fact it was impossible. But it was the combination of \[Madness Control] and Demon at that would make all the difference.

There was sothing about ingesting Demon at that forced the body into a hyper state of evolution. It rejected everything that was Demon, so it was doing its best to improve.

If one took a step back and thought about what would help one live the longest, there was one path that seed more obvious than the others.

If you asked a layman how to get soone to live the longest, they might suggest placing them in a sterile, airtight room, that was also perfectly cushioned. Then they'd make sure the person never experienced any hardship in their life.

However, the biology of it was the exact opposite.

To live longer, one shouldn't lock themselves up and avoid danger. In fact, pushing the body, forcing it to adapt, to fight, was a key part of living longer.

Sylas could recall reading an article that the body actually lived much longer when it was slightly uncomfortable. Being a little too cold, a little too hot, constantly pushing it to pull out more of its potential.

Of course, recovery and health were also important, proper nutrients and sustenance, but the body was an engine built on survival. Evolution itself was nothing more than a series of continuous adaptations, small or otherwise, taking place over millions upon millions of years.

If you adapted wrong, you would die. If you adapted correctly, you would live and pass on your adaptation to your offspring, allowing them to benefit from your success as well.

The vaccines Sylas had worked on in his professional career were much the sa. Vaccines were nothing more than small doses or non-lethal doses of diseases—or in his case, venom—that allowed the body to form antibodies of its own.

That was what was so amazing about the body.

Adaptation.

Sothing like vaccines only helped to facilitate that, just like Demon at seed to as well.

The question was… how could he bridge all of that, forcing his body to get rid of its useless bits and pieces all on its own?

Sylas had spent days on this problem, feeling like he was close, and yet still so very far away. It was like he couldn't leap over a hurdle—but the hurdle itself wasn't sothing he could fully understand.

In the end, he had no choice but to place down his angst and desire to succeed.

The odds that he could have figured out sothing like this in a single sitting were next to impossible. So, when he heard that the Young Miss was back, he chose that this was the perfect ti to leave these thoughts behind for now and co back later with a fresher pair of eyes.

As he stood to leave, he didn't notice the gaze of the little girl on him, shaking her head.

'Did he run into such a roadblock already? I wonder if he's going to end up the sa…'

There was sothing about watching Sylas solve one problem after another that had left her feeling like his mind worked in ways that made little sense.

However, it was short-lived. Whether it was Dominus Paragon, the Contested Title, or the True Pride Seed, both seed to lead to the sa downfall.

The Leava Clan Dominus had found himself in a mad loop, trying to solve one problem continuously, and yet being unable to do so.

Now, Sylas seed to have run into his own roadblock—and so soon at that.

It always happened.

Right now, Sylas probably thought that he'd figure it out eventually…

But that was what they always thought.

Every single one of them.

…

Sylas entered a hall with slow, deliberate steps. He hadn't been called, nor summoned—he simply chose to appear all on his own.

It was the epito of rudeness.

But the instant he saw the woman across the room from him, he felt a fire in him flare up to a wild degree. It was almost overwhelming.

'So that's what I was missing…'

Sylas figured it out, but the frown on his face beca heavy.
