CHAPTER 34: HUMAN EVOLUTION AND DEMON PROGRESSION

The situation Alan was going through right now was the perfect situation to reap the best benefits from his bloodline.

His Fire Demon Bloodline was improved to a whole new level through the blood of the Demon God.

A strong force was waking up within him.

But Alan, who was going through this process, was completely unaware of it. He was just gritting his teeth and bearing the pain.

After nearly an hour, Alan slowly opened his eyes and looked down.

His clothes had stretched to their limits.

He couldn’t help but take off his t-shirt. The strong muscles appeared in the upper body.

The tight packs with ripped muscles and a wide chest. He looked nothing like a sick person as before.

More importantly, his face had become wider with a sharp, pointed chin and strong jaws. The face muscles were perfectly proportioned and slightly white.

Seeing this, Mia wanted to rush forward, but she stopped.

After taking off his t-shirt, Alan closed his eyes and focused on his body.

The mana gathered in his body was getting bigger.

The human body could easily absorb Mana from the atmosphere. As if they were born with this ability.

But the amount of mana one could absorb and keep within the body depended on their physique.

Those with a strong physique could hold mana for several days, while someone like the previous Alan could only hold it for a few hours.

While absorbing mana had become an instinct for humans, it still required a little bit of concentration.

The amount of mana required to unlock the gene was enormous.

So, he not only needed to have a strong body to undergo the unlocking process, but also needed a strong mental ability to absorb mana while going through the process.

Alan did have a good mental ability, but it wasn’t enough to focus on absorbing mana while his body was going through a nuclear fusion reaction.

But now, his body had begun absorbing a large amount of mana.

At least, the amount of mana he had already absorbed was three times more.

And, he could keep this up for almost an hour.

One Hour Later;

Alan had absorbed ten times more mana than his previous capacity. With that, he was ready to undergo the process of unlocking the gene.

[Divine Fire Body Method]

A powerful genetic method appeared in his mind.

This method allowed him to use his mental energy to manipulate the mana and create an optimal process to produce enough pressure and heat within his body.

This was the ultimate method of the Fire Demon Race.

Upon using this method, his mana began moving through his veins, merging with his blood.

At the same time, it started speeding up his blood flow and kept beating his blood cells with his mental energy.

During this process, it would rupture his veins if it were weak, and the blood itself would be destroyed because of his mental energy.

Not only would he be seriously injured, but also fall into a coma.

Thankfully, his body was strong enough to bear the heat generated by speeding up his blood flow.

Mana was the scattered life force of the universe.

So, when enough pressure and heat were applied, mana would transform into life energy.

Life energy could bring vitality and living beings in the world.

That’s why whenever a planet has certain elements required to merge with the pure life energy, it would produce living beings.

Humans weren’t the first creature born on Earth.

But they were born quite early.

Since every being born on earth could absorb mana to evolve and again spirituality, apes managed to gain spirituality quite quickly and slowly evolved into humans.

This group of hairless apes began separating themselves from apes.

While apes were content with their spirituality, humans were a curious race. They wanted to figure out why they evolved, how they evolved, and how they could evolve.

Slowly, they developed their intelligence and became much more intelligent than other races on Earth.

But other races had already gained spirituality. They quickly copied humans and became equal to humans.

If humans gained intelligence quickly, then others gained strength quickly.

This created a balance between humans and other creatures living on Earth.

Soon, humans began separating themselves based on their parents and powers.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a certain person found the blood pool of the Demon God.

He tried absorbing this blood pool, believing that it was the blood of a powerful creature.

But when he did that, he almost died because of the overwhelming energy within that blood pool.

He had to use his life force to suppress that energy.

It gave him a huge benefit and side effects.

The blood gave him a powerful bloodline that gave him various abilities and evolved him to the top of the world.

But it also made him crazy. It forced him to devour other people through different methods and slaughter people like crazy.

He became a demon in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, he was already one of the strongest people in the world. So, he kept suppressing these side effects and tried creating his race.

He married several wives and gave birth to children who inherited different parts of his power.

Because he had devoured many people and their genes, his children inherited different bloodlines.

But none of them had the same bloodline as his. It was only similar in some contexts.

This made him realize the specialness of that blood pool.

So, he asked his descendants to select powerful people and absorb this blood pool.

Unfortunately, most people couldn’t absorb it and died in the process.

Their ancestor also died because he could no longer suppress the energy of the blood with his life force.

Because of the power and effect of the blood, his descendants forbade others from taking this blood.

Fifty thousand years later, one of their descendant managed to absorb a small portion of the blood and improve his bloodline several times.

Demon Race began to thrive once more.

They realized that not all people could absorb it, but some people did have the potential to absorb it.

They also realized that those who were destined with the blood would be pulled towards it.

So, they began to use to curb out useless heirs.

After all, these people were destined to die.

Maybe their fate would turn around, and they would absorb some of the blood from the Blood pool.

They didn’t have a strong hope. It was just an idea.

Who knew it would work fifty thousand years later.

Not only did it work, but it also worked perfectly.

Alan had absorbed the complete blood of the Demon God.

This blood wasn’t just a drop or less than just energy within the blood.

It was several drops of that blood.

So, when he started awakening his genes, his bloodline started trembling. It could feel mana within his body.

Although it was still scattered life force, Alan was putting enough pressure and heat to combine it.

During this process, his bloodline didn’t do much.

It didn’t need to. His body was fully capable of holding the burning blood cells.

Because of the production of life force, his blood cells were being regenerated.

The life force began merging with the cells of his body.

Every corner of his body had cells, and wherever his blood reached, his life force merged.

At the same time, the heat from burning blood started penetrating the life force and guiding it within the cell.

It was required to create a Genetic Pattern within his DNA.

At the same time, his bloodline finally reacted and absorbed a major portion of the life force into the DNA.

The moment it absorbed the life force, it produced a strange orange flame. This flame captured the burning blood and absorbed it completely.

When Alan noticed it, he was stunned.

Not only because of this, but also because of a message from his AI.

[Sir, congratulations on awakening Phoenix Power! It has produced Phoenix Fire within your body.]

[Your original burning blood cells have been devoured, and the Phoenix Fire has replicated them.]

[Now, your Phoenix Fire has started carving the Genetic Pattern on your DNA.]

Although he could hear it, he could do nothing about it.

He knew nothing about it, but he could feel the power of the Phoenix Fire. This flame was generated from Phoenix Power, and it seemed to be a small portion of the Phoenix Power.

But this small portion was able to devour his burning blood cells.

These were the exact blood cells that he would need to use to carve the Genetic Pattern on his DNA and produce Blood Flame.

The Blood Flame was the most common among heirs, but it was also one of the most terrifying flames in the world.

’My bloodline has become something else. If just a small portion can produce such flames, I can’t imagine its true power.’

Alan thought to himself.
