338: Flesh and Blood Population

Fen Tian didn't pick up that thread of conversation.

Ye Su's brain worked differently, truly.

He simply reached out his hand.

Constantly shifting the form of his fingers—sometimes lengthening, sometimes forming webs, sometimes becoming withered and hard—he asked, "So, what is the cultivation method for this kind of power?"

Fen Tian said;

"Is it devouring?"

A completion plan?

Absorbing superior cellular DNA from others to complete one's own deficient mechanisms.

Then trending toward perfection.

Thereby becoming more functional and more powerful?

Is that it?

Actually, no one knew.

If they knew, why would they have opened this testing ground?

"We're just amateurs picking this up halfway,"

Ye Su said;

"I have an idea, why don't we..."

"Let's look for the source of the black pearls."

Tracing back to the source!

Since they had decided to join this glorious evolution, how could they not go and see the source?

If the source was a perfect lifeform,

Then atavistic strengthening would be the path.

If the source was a monster,

Then corrective evolution would be the path.

Only by knowing the source could the direction truly be determined.

Guessing blindly—Ye Su could reload, but you, Fen Tian, would be in trouble.

"Makes sense!"

Fen Tian said.

The two stood up.

Since they had decided on the next step, they would go search for the truth.

Walking out beneath the night sky,

The cells were cheering and leaping.

It was as if they were urging you to rush into the hunting grounds of evolution.

A fragrance permeated the air.

It was the craving of the cells, pheromones being transmitted to alter your cognition.

Believe it or not, an average person really wouldn't be able to resist it.

Roar—suddenly,

A roar came from the distance.

A bizarrely shaped creature came tumbling directly into their field of vision.

"This must be a fellow who couldn't control the underlying cravings of his cells and has completely fallen under the control of the desire to evolve."

Ye Su said;

"I'm quite curious, though. What? They can hold it in during the day, but at night they show their true forms and start acting up?"

"Maybe it's a matter of predatory instinct; some creatures are nocturnal hunters."

Fen Tian said.

Then, with a wave of his hand,

Terrifying fire power directly enveloped the monster.

In just three to five short seconds,

Only a puff of flying ash drifted in the air.

Tsk tsk.

This was the power of Ascension Six.

From the fourth stage to the fifth stage of an Ascender is a true qualitative change.

But the sixth stage was completely beyond what Ye Su could imagine.

This ability to control such power from a distance and scatter a life to the winds was truly a bit outrageous.

Fen Tian suppressed the desire, not following the body's instinct to do any devouring.

Instead, he directly turned it into flying ash.

This also showed

That before seeing more information, he didn't dare to casually step onto the path of evolution.

Even if he sensed the ultimate greatness of this path,

He didn't dare to set foot on it for the time being!

"We should find someone to ask about the situation,"

Ye Su said;

"This city is so big, there should be quite a few people who are still sane."

"Senior, you... should you hide yourself a little?"

"Alright!"

Fen Tian immediately understood Ye Su's idea.

Using a sky-concealing stone, he fixed his cultivation at around Ascension Three.

This was the most common Rank for traveling through the universe.

Those at Ascension Four were busy frantically pulling themselves up and had no time to wander around outside.

Existences like Ascension Five were considered pillars of strength; they could find a place anywhere and didn't need to beg for food outside.

Ascension Three was the most awkward.

No money, no power, no say, and no one wanted them—the two walked together toward the city center.

The further they went, the easier it was to see those out-of-control flesh and blood monsters.

Ye Su handled all of these.

He used his long saber to directly absorb their Flesh and Blood Power,

And then used Calamity Aura to compress it.

After killing dozens, the Flesh and Blood Power was actually condensed into a red bead.

It was about the same size as a black pearl, and the aura it emitted was very similar.

This gave Ye Su a new guess about the black pearls.

"I sense living people."

Fen Tian said.

By now, the two had entered the central area of the city.

There was a huge plaza there, a building like a national stadium.

"Let's go in and look."

Ye Su followed Fen Tian; they were almost entirely without taboos.

Ascension Six was truly strong.

In the universe, he counted as a big shot.

Just like that,

The two entered the stadium.

When the scene inside the stadium entered their eyes, it must be said, it was truly fucking shocking.

A grand evolution party!

There were many people who, while maintaining human form, were frantically feeding on flesh and blood on the ground.

And the flesh on the ground was composed of those unconscious shapeshifters.

Wounds appeared on them, and the wounds would heal again.

After multiple ones were stacked together, the wounds healed indiscriminately.

Over time,

Those consciousless shapeshifters healed into a single body.

Like a carpet, spread across the ground.

They were being harvested and eaten as crops by those in human form who had consciousness.

If one really had to find a word to describe it,

It could be called;

flesh and blood ecology!

"Are these still human?"

It was as if Fen Tian's worldview had suffered a heavy blow and then was rapidly reorganized.

It was hard to imagine how humans could do such a thing.

Cannibalism or whatever,

Was simply child's play compared to this.

For the sake of power, it was hard to imagine they would turn into this.

"This power is even more terrifying than we imagined,"

Ye Su said.

"Look at this flesh carpet on the ground? Its life aura is so vigorous! And it seems... very delicious!"

Flesh and blood everywhere.

The smell being emitted wasn't some fishy stench.

Instead,

It was an extremely soul-stirring fragrance.

It was the completion the cells craved, the key to evolution!

"Hi!"

Someone saw Ye Su and the other and waved a greeting.

"I'm Lu Feng, welcome to join the glorious evolution."

"Same old rules."

"Contribute a bit of your flesh and blood to be cultivated in this flesh field."

Fen Tian was wary.

Ye Su, however, immediately guessed the meaning of this flesh field's existence.

"I have no ill intent,"

Lu Feng said,

Or rather, explained;

"The advantages in everyone's genes are inevitable. To prevent us sane ones from devouring each other and causing casualties, this flesh field was created."

"Once your flesh enters it, your genetic advantages will be cultivated, and others can absorb them to complete themselves."

"At the same time, you gain the qualification to enter the flesh field."

"In this way, as long as more and more genetic advantages are stored in the flesh field, the more we can complete ourselves."

"One day, we will all reach the perfect form!"

Life will always find a way.

With new power, someone will always come to establish a system.

Just like this flesh field.

It was a work of Major Achievement.

In an ecological mode, it constantly completed everyone's weaknesses, pushing the flesh and blood form toward the level of perfection.

From Lu Feng's words, it could be seen

That human ethics had already disappeared here.

In its place was a brand new cognitive mode.

Or rather,

A brand new, artificially created new race;

The flesh and blood population!
