CHAPTER 269: CHAPTER 153: DEAL, PRINCIPLES OF EVOLUTION, AND MULTIPLE SUPERPOWERS
However, those evolvers who undertake purity evolution are generally very cautious and are unlikely to enter such restricted relic areas, for fear of even the slightest contamination, which would be a complete loss...
All their efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, over the years, Zong Shiyue has placed great importance on the two Tier Two Purity Evolvers he’s finally found.
Unfortunately, the stronger and more suitable one among them has already mastered spatial superpowers.
Zong Shiyue had actually had his eyes on her for a long time; otherwise, that Tier Three Distortion King wouldn’t have besieged her.
Yet, the spatial superpower truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier ability—even though Bai Ye hasn’t yet reached Tier Three, she can fully unleash its potential, adequately protecting herself from the pervasive pollution within the relic forbidden area.
So Zong Shiyue placed his only hope on the remaining individual.
A Tier Two Evolver can bear his spirit contamination without quickly descending into madness, giving ample time to complete the landing plan for recruiting followers.
"Good!"
Zong Shiyue pondered for a long while and then, after providing an answer, began explaining to Lin Feng about evolution above Tier Three:
"I won’t go into much detail, as time is limited. You have progressed to your current state as a Tier Two Evolver, so you should have a general understanding of the current evolution studies."
"The essence of evolution is to break free from constraints. Primitive and traditional life is actually exceedingly fragile and pitiable, particularly the human genetic sequences of old..."
"According to one researcher, it’s like a heap of code piled into a mountain of shit!"
"Just a mere 5% of it is enough to maintain the normal operation of the human system."
"The remaining 95% is stagnant, and a significant portion of it originates from external contamination, such as bacteria or viruses we once infected, whose genetic codes partially remain."
"Don’t be too shocked; in the general human genome, more than 20% of gene fragments may come from various viruses."
"Perhaps initially to create antibodies, however, even after these viruses have vanished or become extinct, they remain in the human body, passed down through generations, accumulating without purpose."
"Evolution is essentially about discarding the useless parts and emphasizing some useful dominant genes. However, everyone’s different, so the awakened superpowers are also distinct."
"But in reality, every superpower and evolution pathway can find corresponding superpower genomes in other evolvers."
"In other words, others can have your superpower, and you also have the potential to activate others’ superpowers."
Lin Feng was greatly shaken inside; these theories and viewpoints were things he had never heard of before.
Even with the backing of Father Su An from the Holy Spring Sect, or being close to the Tier Three leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, both actually knew little about evolution beyond Tier Three.
Bai Ye might have some understanding, but she surely wouldn’t be so generous as to inform Lin Feng.
Some information and knowledge are merely common sense to those at that level.
Yet, for the new generations on the path of evolution, it serves as a guiding beacon.
The monopoly of information remains a high wall in the current era of evolution, creating deep pits.
Making it difficult for later evolvers to climb over and causing them to fall into those pits, trapped and confined.
The Tier Three evolvers who grasped the truth back then have either disappeared or become the controllers of top forces, promoting fusion evolution massively and using shepherding to suppress traditional purity evolution.
As a result, naturally, the transmission of evolutionary information has dwindled, gradually forming a generational and knowledge gap.
Zong Shiyue, being a Tier Three Mid-Stage King from those times, a figure among the top one hundred globally, who was close to completing the final metamorphosis, naturally knew these "common sense" things very well.
After conveying this theory, Zong Shiyue noticed the change in Lin Feng’s emotions and nodded in satisfaction, pausing to give him some time to digest.
A dozen seconds later, he continued:
"The essence of superpowers is the manifestation of specific dominant gene traits. Since records began, there are thousands of fragmented variations. The most common is physique enhancement, which tends to be balanced across various aspects."
"But these aren’t the focus."
"The focus is that the cells formed by superpower genes, which are essentially evolutionary meat, are the clusters of evolutionary source material, and the improvement of evolution level and strength inevitably leads to stronger superpowers."
"However, during the Old Earth Era, we discovered the current alien evolution, which is achieved by absorbing source material from evolution beasts."
"Thus, evolvers carry the superpower genes of evolution beasts, making them hybrids, limiting their evolutionary potential to the tier of absorbed evolution beasts."
"The only benefit is that during the Tier Two Evolution, beastman warriors of alien evolution can possess two superpowers."
"One is the superpower they originally awakened, and the other is the superpower of the evolution beast they absorbed, although those exotic beasts call it racial talent."
Hearing this, Lin Feng squinted slightly; Bai Ye seemed to have mentioned this but didn’t elaborate.
She only mentioned that the Li Family could control the Rock Horse Armor, greatly enhancing combat power, which even troubled the church in Oasis Town.
So should he, as an alien species evolver of the Rock-Horned Horse, display corresponding traits and talents to avoid suspicion from Bai Ye and the church?
