Myth Forum!
This was the largest cultivation forum in the interstellar realm, bustling with countless cultivators actively discussing various cultivation knowledge and experiences.
Interstellar humanity followed the path of mythology.
If one possessed a complete mythological path and clearly understood each step of evolution, their future would be boundless, earning the envy of countless others.
As long as one's talent was strong enough, they could smoothly cultivate step by step, reaching the supreme realm of suppressing the stars.
The few prestigious families in the interstellar realm each held at least one path to godhood, which allowed them to rise rapidly when humanity first began cultivation and leap to become rulers of the stars.
Apart from these rare complete mythological paths, most mythological knowledge was too fragmented. Without guidance from predecessors, recklessly forging ahead and forcibly evolving one's genes was extremely dangerous.
At best, one's cultivation would regress, difficult to recover; at worst, genetic collapse would reduce them to a useless person, their very life at risk.
The mythological knowledge rediscovered now was all unearthed from various ancient mythological ruins, incomplete and fragmented.
The mythological systems of different civilizations had vast blank spaces waiting to be filled.
This Myth Forum was a platform where interstellar cultivators of all backgrounds could freely exchange mythological knowledge and cultivation experiences without limitations.
It was an interstellar network Q&A community, connecting cultivators from every corner of the stars, sharing their cultivation knowledge, experiences, and insights, continuously supplying the Myth Forum with diverse information.
If you wanted an answer, you could find it in this Myth community.
But not all information sharing was free.
Common cultivation basics were shared openly, but precious cultivation secrets were priceless, requiring enough star coins to obtain.
Knowledge was invaluable.
Mythological knowledge was the most invaluable of all.
"Isn't this just a mythological version of Zhihu?" Feng Lin thought to himself.
But he wasn't here to ask questions; on the contrary, he was here to answer them.
The biggest feature of the Myth Forum was the existence of a special group: Myth VIPs.
These individuals had an immense understanding of mythology and could guide others in cultivation, earning large amounts of star coins through paid Q&A.
And when it came to understanding mythology, who could surpass Feng Lin?
Feng Lin was practically a born Myth VIP.
He could rely on this to earn star coins in the Myth Forum.
But with no followers yet, he had to start small—answering others' questions one by one to build attention.
Some people were too poor to pay large sums to ask questions of the VIPs, so they used bounty-style questions to attract various answerers. If they found a satisfactory answer, they would pay up.
This transaction was monitored by the forum's AI system, so there was no fear of defaulting.
Although the bounties weren't large, every bit counted, and Feng Lin couldn't afford to be picky now.
His top priority was to build his reputation.
As a Myth VIP, once he gained fame, everything else would follow.
First, he needed to register an ID.
Without much thought, Feng Lin directly entered the name "Hongjun."
"ID registration successful. Hongjun, welcome to the Myth Forum!" An electronic prompt sounded from the forum.
Feng Lin nodded with understanding, his guess confirmed.
From the start, when he realized his advantage in mythological knowledge, he had specifically searched the star network.
Mythology was fragmented. Although humanity had recovered some mythological stories of gods like "Pangu," "Fuxi," and "Nüwa," no one knew about Hongjun, the Ancestor of Dao.
Even in the era before mythological stories were lost, Hongjun the Dao Ancestor was an incredibly mysterious figure, appearing only briefly in a few myths like *The Investiture of the Gods*.
His origins, when he attained the Dao—these were all unsolved mysteries.
Even Feng Lin didn't know, let alone the humans of this interstellar era, who had long lost records of Hongjun.
Feng Lin had previously established the Myth Gene Society and adopted the alias "Hongjun" precisely because of this.
Now, in the Myth Forum, he used the same ID "Hongjun," and just like with "Wukong" before, no one had taken it.
Feng Lin secretly felt he had hit the jackpot!
Getting a good name felt like an auspicious sign.
After awakening his spiritual genes, Feng Lin's intuition was sharp, and he felt that becoming a Myth VIP might not be so difficult.
He opened the Myth Forum interface and began browsing. He found countless posts, but they were divided into four major sections: "Wealth," "Companions," "Methods," and "Territory," corresponding to the four essentials of cultivation.
These four simple words encapsulated the essence of cultivation.
"Wealth" referred to cultivation resources.
Without wealth, one couldn't sustain the Dao. No matter how great your talent, without sufficient resources, you were just an ordinary person.
In the ancient Earth era, figures like Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, and Sun Lutang had profound martial arts, but they could never break through the limits of the human body, dying of natural causes.
No matter how high your martial arts, you couldn't defy fate.
Without spiritual substances and other cultivation resources, even these prodigies couldn't transcend.
Thus, the "Wealth" section was the most popular in the Myth Forum.
Feng Lin clicked into it and saw numerous posts, each with many replies, all about trading cultivation resources.
"Mass purchasing spirit crystals! 1 million star coins per unit! Interested, please contact..." — "Whale Spender."
"Selling fire lizard scales! 10,500 star coins each!..." — "Star Beast Hunter 123."
"Mid-martial-grade gene potion, transformation potion! Sold to the highest bidder!" — "Medicine Demon Zero."
...
Feng Lin browsed carefully.
The Myth Forum was filled with countless posts, bustling with activity.
For a moment, he felt like he had stepped into a bustling market, full of noise and excitement.
"Companions" referred to fellow cultivators, "Methods" to techniques and martial arts, and "Territory" to cultivation factions.
Each section had different content.
Feng Lin glanced briefly at the "Wealth" section without lingering, then purposefully clicked into the "Methods" section.
This major section was further divided into sub-sections like "Techniques," "Martial Arts," "Experiences," "Insights"... introducing various knowledge about cultivation methods.
The most common here were paid Q&A about cultivation knowledge.
Feng Lin focused and began scanning questions.
The more questions he answered, the more points he earned as a mythological self-media creator, making it easier to attract attention and faster to become a Myth VIP.
He clicked on the first bounty Q&A. It was a question with a bounty of 10,000 star coins, attracting countless viewers, but no one had claimed the reward, meaning no one had answered it yet.
What kind of question was it?
Was it that hard?
Curious, Feng Lin saw the post was initiated by an ID called "Fatty with a Cultivation Dream."
Reading the content, even his usual calm demeanor couldn't stop him from laughing. The question was too bizarre...
"Sincerely seeking advice. Since childhood, I awakened the obesity gene, weighing over 1,000 pounds. Now I can't even walk. They all say I'm useless. Is there still hope for me? Is there any mythological path that can let me become a gene cultivator? Price is negotiable?"
Beneath the post, there was even a...
