The Ancient Genes - Chapter 187 - A Terrifying Possibility

New book launch! “Little Fortunate Treasure of the Farm Family: Breaking Boundaries”. All investors are welcome!

Brief Description: (Rebirth+ Farming+Magic Cave+Trashing Scum+Becoming Rich)

Jiang Sanlang finds a newborn girl on the hill, and raises her as his own daughter. Not long after, his barren wife becomes pregnant with twins.

Then, the Jiang family is showered with good fortune, gradually embarking on a road to wealth from being penniless.

All the villagers are envious of the Jiang family’s good luck and want to partake in the little Fairy Child’s fortune.

Yingbao waves her tiny hand: Come on everyone, let’s go plant some gold and Xue’er. I guarantee you’ll have enough food for a year, be rich in two years, and reach the peak of your life in three years.

In the end, all the villagers do indeed become wealthy, much to the envy of other villages.

Then one day, the family that abandoned the baby girl came to the Jiang family to demand their child back.

The entire village is enraged, fists at the ready at the door: Bah! What shameless people dare to steal a child, they should taste some punches first.

Yingbao dies, then reincarnates. She never imagined that she was actually a ‘throwaway character’ from a story, and all her experiences were engineered to drive the plot forward.

In this life, Yingbao is determined to steer clear of the female protagonist and supporting characters, avoiding all storyline drama. She aspires to lead her adoptive parents and siblings to a good life, building a prosperous home.

Talented in Magecraft but useless in physical combat?

Chen Sansi traveled back to the chaotic end of a dynasty, thankfully with the hardworking system by his side. He originally wanted to hunt to earn money and someday go to the Martial Arts Hall to learn some basic fist and foot techniques, aspiring just to be an ordinary rich man. Yet, fate had other plans. With officials imposing heavy taxes and the Martial Arts Hall bullying the citizens, he had no choice but to enlist in the army to survive, becoming an archer. From “archery (entry-level),” he worked tirelessly up to “operating a ten thousand weight bow, where arrows cannot be dodged,” taking the heads of enemy generals from a hundred miles away! From “basic soldier’s spear technique,” he worked tirelessly up to “National Guardian Dragon Spear, growing more valiant with each battle,” standing firm with a spear on horseback, alone turning back the Enemy Army of a million! Years later, Chen Sansi, having campaigned in the south and battled in the north, was truly invincible under the heavens, commanding two hundred thousand of the Iron Cavalry. Watching his subordinates forcibly ascend him to the throne and become emperor, he felt quite helpless: ’You... you have really caused me trouble!’

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?
