I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

The dragon paused, its green slit pupil fixed on Ray for a long time as it spoke again in its deep, ancient voice.

"This is your last warning, human."

"Alright, I won't go. What are you going to do about it?" Ray casually walked up to it and sat down, a smug smile on his face.

The dragon frowned, its eyes on Ray, a flicker of violence reflecting in its pupils that quickly subsided before it could even emerge.

"What do you want?"

It quickly calmed down, its old body trembling.

"You are a smart lizard, aren't you?" Ray chuckled. "You were a new species born from the dinosaur era, but before you could even materialize, Mother Earth woke up, deemed you too harmful for her nature, and destroyed your entire race. So, you are the only one left in this world."

"You don't want your entire race to be wiped out, do you?"

The dragon's body trembled even more, to the point that even the water around it vibrated.

"How do you know?"

"Haha, you don't need to know that, lizard. I can help you live, and not only that—I can even make sure you have a carefree life in a new home, granting you a new life."

"How can you do that?" the dragon spoke, its deep, ancient voice carrying a sense of uncertainty and disbelief.

"I will tell you when the time is right; for now, you can enter my mini-dimension and rest there," Ray casually shrugged. Although he didn't have the power to do so currently, the only skill that could accomplish this would likely be his Gene Synchronization skill, but he couldn't use it on this dragon.

As for the other method, that was his S-class skill, Supreme Mechanics, which was fully advanced.

The fully advanced Supreme Mechanics skill had shown Ray the path to advance his entire civilization to reach greater heights.

The advancement of civilization wasn't driven by great individuals and their discoveries alone; instead, it was related to harvesting power. Human civilization was just a level zero civilization, capable only of harvesting power from dead animals, coal, and fossil fuels.

With the technology that Ray has introduced to all of human civilization, we are very close to harnessing the power of everything in nature, whether it involves natural disasters, lightning strikes, or even earthquakes.

We were on the verge of achieving this before the apocalypse, and now it can be said that we are infinitely close to reaching it; however, we are still classified as a level one civilization.

A level two civilization can harvest the power of the stars, while a level three civilization can conquer the galaxy after mastering our own solar system. Dark holes and white holes become mere toys to be manipulated, and the mysteries of the galaxy become clearer than ever.

The level four civilization is even more terrifying, as it allows us to travel to and conquer other galaxies. The mysteries of the universe are unlocked, and everything once considered fictional could become possible.

A level five civilization entails the discovery of alternate universes after conquering its own universe.

This marked the limit of what he could achieve with the Supreme Mechanic skill. Don't underestimate this power; although it represents a gradual change, with time, it may indeed become possible to conquer Planetary and Multiverse beings using the full might of civilization alone but for that time to occur he would need time as well as resources.

Resources were insufficient, and even with his Supreme Mechanic Skill, he couldn't pull it off entirely by himself; it required the collective effort of the entire civilization.

"So, are you willing to come with me, dragon?"

Ray spoke lightly, his expression uncaring.

"Just… just who are you?"

"I am a human," Ray replied proudly, a smile on his face.

"Human? Humans have advanced this far to create a monster like you?" The green pupils of the dragon reflected Ray's visage, and he sensed a portion of his power, causing the dragon's heart to palpitate loudly.

"So, are you joining me or not?" Ray asked in a deep whisper.

"Yes."

The moment the dragon uttered the word, his vision shifted to a strange darkness, and he found himself submerged in water.

"You can rest here for now. Once I create a world, you will have a new home," Ray's voice resounded in this dimension.

"This…"

The dragon looked around in disbelief.

…

In the sixth ocean, Ray found no creatures at the bottom, so he moved on to the seventh ocean. Unfortunately, even here, there was nothing but empty darkness filled with undead creatures.

He casually slaughtered all the undead before leaving to return home.

Essentially, the entire continent had already become his base, and people from the other continent quickly settled there as well.

Although there were differences among the majority of the people, under the conditions of survival, they needed to adapt to the city.

As for anyone with ill intentions, Ray's undead carried out their tasks effectively. His Gene Empire was developing rapidly.

After Ray returned, he didn't confront Mother Earth; instead, he spent his time with women and recruited more women to carry his Gene.

Ray also advanced his True Eyes to the maximum level by casually spending a billion mutation energy on it.

As a result, his abilities reached new heights, and he now had the power to bend reality. The illusion skills from his eyes evolved to enable this capability, and he could also become invincible for a few minutes; during this state, any physical, mental, or soul attack became completely ineffective against him.

With his True Eyes, Ray glanced at Elaria again and finally understood the method to reach a Planetary being.

The integration of a being with the planet occurs naturally when the planet's consciousness, upon becoming old enough, directly transforms into a Planetary being, or it can happen artificially through forceful integration with the planet after destroying the planet's consciousness.

Ray didn't like either method!
