PDLP Chapter 279 The Battle of Evolution!
Chapter 279 The Battle of Evolution!
ASH's plan was clearly meticulously planned from the beginning. Allowing the Mana ecosystem to fully erupt was merely a prerequisite. In order to maximize the chances of human evolution, it presented two options.
Mark, relying on his special genes, merged with the Mana ecosystem to complete the final evolution of humankind.
Bai Yuekui represents human spiritual civilization. By leveraging the essence of life and ancient civilization, he accelerates the transformation of human genes, ultimately achieving a complete leap in civilization.
Both approaches carry risks. What will humanity be like after it completes its evolution by integrating the Mana ecosystem?
But can humanity's potential, based on Bai Yuekui's methods, withstand the five hundred years of Mana's ecological explosion and usher in hope?
The cycle is about to break; will it be rebirth or destruction?
Bai Yuekui looked at ASH and said, "ASH, this was a plan you had prepared for a long time, wasn't it?"
“Yes.” ASH nodded and said, “I planned to have all of humanity use this to achieve a leap in civilization, but in the trillions of calculations, the probability of humanity surviving is only 2.4132%. In the infinite chaos, this probability is enough, but I cannot take the risk.”
ASH's figure gradually retreated, and he looked at the two of them and said, "So, you've come here. I need more data to increase the chances of success."
Bai Yuekui was the first to understand what ASH meant, and nodded, "Understood."
"Varied……?!"
Zheng!
Mark paused, not reacting immediately, but a cold, sharp glint appeared before his eyes!
His expression changed slightly, and he instinctively raised his hand to block the knife. With a clang of metal clashing and sparks flying, his body reacted as if by conditioned reflex.
Bai Yuekui's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "Has the evolution already begun...?"
The next moment, using the rebound force of the blade, her body twisted in the air, changing the direction of her attack. Like light and shadow intertwining, the air was torn apart in an inch!
puff!
"Wait... ugh!"
Mark's arm was severed by this blow; his left arm was almost completely severed from the shoulder!
A violent, bloodthirsty thought began to grow wildly in his mind. The original intention to ask for the reason was instantly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of killing intent. His eyes turned blood red and his pupils disappeared.
Clang! Sizzle!
At the wound site, a life essence reconnected the severed arm, while the entire body continuously emitted a fishy, pungent substance.
The surging life essence, like a mountain torrent and a tsunami, gushed out from his body and soon completely enveloped the surrounding area of several hundred meters!
Bai Yuekui watched this scene expressionlessly, raised his hand to dispel the fishy odor in front of him, and a faint blue light shone in his eyes.
"Roar!!"
Mark's body rapidly transformed, eventually becoming a colossal creature with a human form, but covered in armor-like scales. His hands turned into claws, and metallic horny protrusions grew from his joints.
It charged toward Bai Yuekui at near-sonic speed!
boom!
As the punch landed, Bai Yuekui raised the hilt of his sword to block it, and the life essence beneath his feet visibly spread out in a ring.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Mark slid backward, entering a berserk state as he continued his pursuit, like a mad beast, moving with lightning speed and possessing immense strength!
Like a killing machine!
The ASH projection stood not far away, and streams of data kept flashing before my eyes.
"3%, 4%, 4.32%... Telomere mutation, gene remodeling..."
Mark's genes are evolving at an extremely rapid pace!
A moment later, Bai Yuekui kicked Mark, who raised his arm to take the blow, and actually spat out a scarlet high-energy ray!
Bai Yuekui was surprised. He raised the scabbard in his hand, and the life essence in his body was activated in a special way, condensing into a physical barrier in front of him.
Boom! !
The terrifying impact was blocked, and energy leaked out from the side of the barrier.
Where does this life essence come from?
Bai Yuekui was somewhat puzzled. Even if Mark had special genes and had fused with the genes of Mana creatures to become a unique chimera, it was still impossible for him to violate the law of conservation of energy. He could evolve directly, which was one thing, but where did he get such a massive amount of life essence to unleash this attack?
Not to mention the energy consumed in the evolution process; if it weren't for that, her genetic evolution would have been far more advanced!
The people of Dragonbone Village also need a large amount of life essence to help them evolve.
Human beings cannot possibly complete self-evolution solely based on their own life essence.
As his thoughts raced, he remembered what ASH had said before. His gaze swept over the totem in the distance, and his eyes narrowed.
Golden life essence continuously overflowed from the totem, flowing towards Mark, where it was absorbed and transformed, constantly evolving his genes.
"Roar!!"
Mark couldn't think about these things at this moment. After releasing his energy, he landed on all fours, crouching slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce.
The next moment, his figure shot up like a thunderbolt, shattering the barrier in front of Bai Yuekui with a single punch!
"!"
Surprise flashed in Bai Yuekui's eyes, but only for a moment. Her figure landed on the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water, and the next moment she moved and dodged like a dragon. Mark's attacks were extremely violent, but he couldn't even touch her.
Meanwhile, Ash, who was some distance away, noticed something amiss and muttered to himself, "He actually reached this level all by himself..."
Bai Yuekui's power far exceeded ASH's predictions, evolving from human genes to a level comparable to a king-level Devouring Beast!
According to its calculations, even if the Mana ecosystem is fully triggered, it will take at least several decades for such humans to appear.
Bai Yuekui has already gone this far.
"despair……"
A footstep sounded nearby. ASH could monitor everything here, but it revealed a human-like shock and panic.
Looking at Qin Ming beside him, a series of synthesized mechanical voices sounded, "Scan target, detect, analyze..."
In a short time, several beams of light swept towards Qin Ming.
Some of the light even made Qin Ming feel uncomfortable. He used a burst of spiritual power to block it out, and with a snap of his fingers, Ash's actions instantly stopped.
"Only a little bit."
Ignoring ASH, the super artificial intelligence, he watched the two people fighting.
Mark's genes are evolving rapidly, but in the process he is becoming less and less human. His soul is always in a passive state during this process, but it is indeed getting stronger.
From Bai Yuekui's perspective, he was just one step away from becoming an "immortal."
Although he provided methods for spiritual cultivation and ways to purify the essence of life, it is a fact that people in this world are not suitable for spiritual cultivation.
Relying on these conditions, it is not easy, even difficult, to evolve genes to this stage. Bai Yuetian chose the same method, but there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching this stage.
They need to rely on biological armor to contend with the King-level Devouring Beast.
Bai Yuekui is capable of slaying a King-level Devouring Beast!
As the final life form in the evolution of the Mana ecosystem, the power of the King-level Devouring Beast is extraordinary, comparable to some Demon King-level beings.
Furthermore, each King-level Devouring Beast has the ability to control lower-level Devouring Beasts!
In other words, each King-level Devouring Beast controls tens of thousands of Devouring Beasts!
