Chapter 561: Chapter 351: Evolution Across Space (4K)_2
Lu Liu, through evolution, had elevated his life's foundational tier, shortening the time it would take for his breakthrough to the Legendary Realm. Moreover, Lu Liu could also leverage the power of Evolutionary Miracles to deeply study the Extreme Training Method.
At the very least, the enhanced Combat Power of Lu Liu post-evolution would further solidify his chances in arm-wrestling with Werewolf Legends.
His Tianyuan Territory now possessed Dead Bone and Duo Lai, two super Legends, as well as him, Lord Shepherd, a mighty one wielding Great Force, but... the number of their Legends was still far too scarce compared to their enemies.
If Fang of the Jackal Wolf wished to wage war on multiple fronts, their power would be spread too thin.
Among the T1 powerhouses of his territory, Lu Liu, Uta, Rakshasa, and Tree Demon Granny were all capable of standing up against Legends.
Now, with an abundance of Evolution Points, Mu Yuan planned to allocate them one by one.
"There's also the Water Mirror Dragon Difu. If its contributions are sufficient, it too can be given the opportunity for an evolutionary baptism," he thought.
"Tool-type soldier species like giants could also be evolved slightly."
Mountain Giants had always been T0-class soldiers excelling at siege warfare, outperforming even Giants Dragons of the same level in siege and destruction.
Mu Yuan didn't particularly need to besiege cities, but using the likes of the massive-bodied Mountain Giants against 'Aggregated monsters' made for an apt application.
Powerful beings could defeat Aggregated monsters alone but not stop them, while Mountain Giants could.
What if he continued to evolve the Mountain Giants?
"It's a pity the giants have only started being recruited intermittently since three months ago. Their levels are still lacking, so epic evolution will have to come from their own contributions, which is not something we will see for now."
The unification of Evo-power provided him with more possibilities.
As he enlisted batch after batch of common Remnant Souls, the accumulation rate of Evo-power would rise yet again.
Furthermore...
Mu Yuan gazed into the Azure Sky.
He saw, in the extremities of his vision, evolutionary light particles coming in, converging into streams.
These were provided by soldier species from outside his territory. He could vaguely trace the providers of the Evolution Points, noticing Skeleton Morticians moving through dense forests.
A few specks of light also surged out of the void, originating from places far more remote.
That was...
Sophia and her two companions, as well as the elites of Shiling City, providing Evo-power!
"To think that I can collect it from such a distance, and furthermore..."
Mu Yuan focused, tracking the flight path of the evolved light particles, and he had a faint notion that he could also trace the general location of the providers.
There was a subtle connection there.
Among them, the strongest connection point was Seventeen, who had undergone a full five evolutionary baptisms.
"As long as this connection exists, it seems I could transmit the power of Evolutionary Miracles across the distance."
The range he could evolve things from afar was a few kilometers before but now was... limitless.
Of course, this was as long as they were his own soldiers and had undergone at least one evolutionary baptism.
If they were not his own soldiers...
"It seems, even then, evolution is not impossible."
He was now able to grasp the Miracle Power of evolutionary miracles in the unknown; this meant he could begin to use the power of Evolutionary Miracles without being confined to a framework.
However, evolving outsiders was more difficult, requiring two prerequisites.
"One is close proximity."
Mu Yuan raised his hand, the palm of his right hand swirling with a mass of Miracle Power visible only to him.
This was the Hand of Evolution.
"Secondly, the resistance to this kind of evolution is greater, potentially causing a lot of Evo-power to diffuse throughout the process. The same evolution would require several times or even more than ten times the Miracle Power. This is an action with a low cost-benefit ratio."
He couldn't possibly do this for the time being.
But in the future, if needed, without ruling out the possibility of this service being offered to outsiders, providing such secrecy measures are in place.
This could be an extremely valuable bargaining chip.
Evolutionary Miracle unified; evolution across space; evolution for outsiders;
These were the three tangible changes brought about by the evolution of Evo-power.
...
After taking hold of Evolutionary Miracles and contacting Sophia and the others, Mu Yuan's first thought was to give the three a round of evolutionary baptisms.
For each of the trio, 20,000 Evolution Points were required; altogether, they would need only 60,000.
Lord Shepherd deemed this a drop in the bucket.
He was also concerned about the three, delving deeper into the wilderness, wanting to bolster their strength a bit more for increased safety and a better chance of finding clues. However...
"Eerie phenomena would appear during the epic evolution process."
This was a troubling issue.
No, it wasn't that troublesome.
It certainly couldn't be concealed, but the real process of evolution only took a few minutes. Even if the light of evolution around Sophia and the others was too dazzling and discovered by surrounding enemies, nothing would go wrong within a few minutes.
What about after?
Sophia and the group would have already made their escape, leaving behind nothing but rumors of Epic Treasures/Epic Lives being born in that place.
In fact, those who often explore the depths of the wilderness know that epic radiance is not that rare. If you spend a lot of time in the wilderness, you would see them now and again.
However, just seeing them doesn't mean you have a chance to obtain them; there may still be a billion miles of distance between the two.
Mu Yuan usually concealed epic phenomena to avoid exposing his own territory. The location of the territory was fixed, but Sophia and her companions were not. They would stay briefly and leave; what does the unearthing of Epic Treasures have to do with them? They were merely passing by.
