Chapter 580: Evolution Evolution!

"According to the latest news, the Lesteron Star System has been quarantined. For the past half month, a suddenly erupting large-scale plague has caused over a hundred deaths..."

"The Amethyst Civilization has issued a public statement that they will resolve this issue as soon as possible, reassuring the Interstellar Citizens..."

Li Yu glanced at the latest news. He had been paying attention to this news for a while now.

Mainly because the Lesteron Star System was extremely close to the Xisangke System, being the most prosperous Commercial Star System nearby.

And the Titan Sanctuary was highly likely to appear in the Xisangke System, so he paid more attention to the news around there.

The appearance of this so-called plague was extremely sudden. At first, he didn't take it seriously either.

But after so much time had passed, the Amethyst Civilization still hadn't resolved it, which was why he paid considerable attention.

"Heh, quarantining an entire Star System, and only over a hundred dead? Who are they kidding..." Li Yu shook his head, knowing this data was definitely falsified.

However, it was also difficult for him to know the specific situation. But some time ago, he had already asked Returning Star to activate a Pawn that hadn't been used for a long time.

This prince of Amethyst had deep ties with Li Yu.

Back then, after the Battle of Amethyst, the Purple Crystal Imperial Family pushed the Amethyst Emperor out as a Scapegoat to appease the Star Glory Empire's anger.

And the first in line to the Amethyst succession became the new Amethyst Emperor. As for Kansa, he was recruited by Returning Star as a Hidden Agent.

The current Amethyst no longer had the arrogance of being the Star Glory Empire's number one Lackey, but instead showed a trend of daily decline.

Even if they knew Returning Star was behind Kansa, they didn't have the energy and Strength to deal with it.

After connecting, Kansa's projection appeared. He looked much more mature, unsmiling, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, long time no see. How have you been?"

"Not bad..." Li Yu replied casually without saying much, directly asking: "What exactly is going on in Lesteron? Since you contacted me, you must have found some clues, right?"

"Yes..." Kansa nodded, displaying a trend of remaining unperturbed by favor or disgrace: "Although they are heavily guarded against me, I have also developed quite a few Hidden Agents."

"The problem in the Lesteron Star System is massive. Over a hundred thousand people have died, millions are injured, and this scale is still constantly expanding."

Li Yu was also somewhat surprised. He knew Lesteron definitely had a big problem, but didn't expect it to be this outrageous.

After all, the public reports only stated around a hundred deaths.

"More crucially, this kind of..." He paused, seemingly trying to find an accurate adjective to describe this situation.

"...This kind of thing isn't a virus, nor is it a plague. We find it hard to understand its form of existence..."

"...Amethyst is considering... planet-annihilation!"

Planet-annihilation? Li Yu narrowed his eyes. It seemed Amethyst really had no other options left...

Kansa immediately followed up: "However, when I was investigating the origin, I found a hidden clue. Before the outbreak of this crisis, people from the Black Net had visited this planet..."

Li Yu's mind stirred. Black Net? Why did they suddenly descend on that Star System?

I'm afraid this baffling crisis incident had a high probability of being inextricably linked to the Titan Sanctuary.

"What is the Star Glory Empire's attitude?" Li Yu inquired.

"They haven't expressed any attitude..." Kansa shook his head: "They told Amethyst to handle it themselves, saying this is Amethyst's internal affair and it's inconvenient for them to interfere."

There's a problem... Li Yu's first reaction was that the Star Glory Empire had ghosts in the closet. They definitely knew something.

What inconvenient to interfere in internal affairs, haven't they interfered enough?

Thud!

A knock sounded on the door. Li Yu glanced at the display screen; it was Hunter.

"Continue investigating. Oh right, I'll give you a contact method later. He will send some people to you. Arrange for those people to infiltrate quietly." Li Yu then instructed.

"Yes, Your Excellency..." Kansa lowered his head in agreement, his attitude respectful.

After closing the communication, Li Yu let Hunter in.

"Peyton called you over, saying the thing is ready..." He looked slouched and muttered: "It's not like you guys don't have Smart Terminals, making me pass messages all day..."

Li Yu couldn't be bothered with him. His mouth split into a grin visible to the naked eye, and he had already disappeared from the room.

………

"The thing you wanted..." Peyton handed the black Gene Chain to Li Yu.

"These complex genes have actually allowed our technology to improve rapidly. The next time we modulate something, the speed will be even faster."

"No problem..."

Li Yu had been waiting for several days and was long since Impatient. He casually replied with a few perfunctory words, left the place, and found a Clearing.

"Claptrap, keep an eye out later, don't let it cause any damage." Li Yu instructed. After receiving a response, he directly began injecting the Gene Chain.

As the black liquid merged into his Corporeal Form, a Metamorphosis began.

Cells operated rapidly, and the brand-new Gene Chain washed through his body, as if suffering a terrifying energetic ravagement.

Boom!

A Metamorphosis was occurring within Li Yu's body. His Cells vibrated continuously, bursting out with powerful Energy.

The massive fluctuations emitted directly affected the surrounding environment, continuously vibrating out rings of Shockwaves.

Claptrap was actively suppressing it, mobilizing energy to suppress the fluctuations here, trying hard to prevent the impact from expanding.

In the distance, Peyton, Sakura, Hunter, and the others stood there, watching the environmental changes induced by Li Yu.

"What a terrifying High-Energy Reaction. Is Lord Li Yu certain he is undergoing his fourth Evolution?" Sakura was extremely shocked in her heart.

This kind of Power Level was truly alarming.

"He is the most special person I have ever seen. Even among the Empire's Nobles, there has never been anyone like this..." Peyton shook his head, then suddenly paused and said: "Perhaps... the Emperor could compare..."

Sakura glanced at him. Through their interactions during this period, she had roughly figured out Peyton's origins.

However, she was still very surprised by this statement.

Although to Ordinary Citizens, the Emperor seemed like just a political symbol.

But in the eyes of people like her, who knew more, he was an even more powerful, unrivaled figure.

"Sigh, I've watched him grow up with my own eyes..." Hunter's tone was full of amazement, yet also carrying a Sour-grape feeling.

He was almost the first person to come into contact with Li Yu. When they first met, this guy was still that shy youth in the Garbage Pile.

Back then, he even made a Gamble with others, betting this kid wouldn't survive half a month. The result was that in the blink of an eye, he had become such a big shot.

Comparing people to people will piss you off...

It wasn't just him; the other experts from Returning Star also looked shocked.

The Duke's growth rate was truly beyond their imagination. They really wanted to Slice him up and research him.

A long time passed before the High-Energy Reaction gradually subsided.

"Looks like it succeeded."

Li Yu's figure appeared. Before the crowd could even offer their Congratulations, they saw him hurriedly open a Dimensional Rift, off to who knows where.

"What are you going to do?" Hunter asked loudly.

"I've only Evolved halfway, there's still half left. I was afraid of causing damage, so I'm going outside to Evolve." Li Yu said. By the time his words fell, the person had already disappeared.

The numerous experts were dumbfounded, feeling utterly bewildered.

"Evolution, can also be paused?" Peyton rarely furrowed his brows tightly.

"Shall we go take a look?" Sakura suggested.

Hunter glanced at her and added: "Alright, but we need the Twelve Golden Immortals to follow."

The subtext was to prevent this woman from causing trouble. After all, the time she had joined was too short to put people at ease.

Sakura had no objections. She was fairly satisfied with the current situation and didn't think about causing trouble.

The Dimensional Rift opened, locking onto the location Li Yu had just headed to. This was a Barren Planet, where dark yellow sandy grounds stretched to the ends of one's sight.

On the Ground, the remnants of metallic high-rises occasionally protruded diagonally from the soil. This seemed to be a Civilization Ruins, exuding an aura of decay everywhere.

The sky was grey and hazy, thick smog wrapping the entire planet.

A fierce wind blew in their faces, carrying countless fine grains of sand. The immense wind force tore at the smog on the surface, also causing dust to soar into the sky.

Looking down from the Outer Space Layer, one could see the general shape of the planet. It was basically completely desolate, with nothing left.

Perhaps there was once a thriving civilization on this planet, but due to some unknown disaster, it was now ravaged by wind and sand, leaving only The Ruins.

"Here should be fine..." Li Yu estimated.

He hadn't expected the commotion to be so big this time. Just mounting the Gene Chain made the Jade Void Palace feel the pressure, almost failing to suppress it.

Then there was no need to mention fusing the Titan Gene Chain. To avoid unnecessary losses, he decided to come outside to fuse the Titan Gene Chain.

The Titan Gene Chain was slowly pushed into his Corporeal Form, the Golden Liquid bottoming out.

In an instant, Li Yu's pupils shrank violently, and an incomparably blazing Strength suddenly surged up within his body!

Golden aura soared to the heavens, tearing through the Atmosphere, like a Divine Arrow piercing into the Universe!

The commotion this time was indeed much bigger than just now. Annular Shockwaves continuously erupted, with a wider area of effect than before.

Some Withered peaks began to Collapse, the Ground cracked open, seemingly unable to bear such powerful Energy Fluctuations.

In the distance, the Twelve Golden Immortals stood tall on the Ground, forming a barrier that protected everyone tightly.

Just the Residual Energy wasn't enough to break through their defenses.

"He really can... pause his Evolution..." Peyton's tone was enigmatic.

Some experts were incomparably excited, their faces flushed red, clamoring that they absolutely had to Slice up Li Yu.

"If it weren't for the fact that my expertise doesn't lie in genetics, I would want to research him too." Even Sakura became interested, pushing up her Glasses.

According to the detection data, his core Energy Level had already exceeded 20 million, approaching 25 million.

This was already over three times that of a normal A4 Level. And this was only in the middle of Evolution, not yet finished.

If the Evolution completed thoroughly, the Energy Level would probably surpass what it was now.

Meanwhile, in a certain Interstellar Probing Station not far from here, ear-piercing alarms sounded.

"Super-high Energy Fluctuations detected, please proceed to investigate immediately!"

Hearing the alarm, the expressions of the soldiers inside the probing station changed, and then they immediately took action.

The pilots arrived at the port, entering their Spaceship Cockpits, and then the probing station released the Spaceships.

The probing fleet turned into streaks of Flowing Light, flying towards the coordinate point of the energy eruption.

They were a probing station of the Hebrew Civilization, intended to monitor their Civilization Territory to prevent surprise attacks.

Now detecting this kind of High-Energy Reaction, they were also extremely anxious, because this was clearly not an incident they could handle.

If they really encountered a large-scale fleet, they'd be doomed.

However, no matter how anxious they were, they still had to go investigate the specific situation.

They quickly arrived at the coordinate location, only to be somewhat stunned.

It was completely empty here, with only a nearly split-open Barren Planet, and an Atmosphere that practically no longer existed.

"What... happened here?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

Along with their confusion came rejoicing. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any large-scale fleet, otherwise, they would be done for.

"Report this to the civilization and file a record..." The person in charge issued the command, then prepared to lead people down to survey the specific situation.

………

In the Jade Void Palace, Li Yu's entire body exuded a powerful Aura. Golden Flowing Light occasionally flashed across his skin.

Because he had just finished Evolving, he temporarily couldn't control his power, so everyone kept a relatively far distance from him to avoid accidental injury.

Clenching his fist, relaxing, clenching his fist, relaxing... Electric Arcs shot out. The Strength in his body had completely surpassed his past self, even arguably reaching another tier.

A preliminary estimate was that in his basic state, Li Yu's Combat Power Level was around 30 million, which even surprised himself.

More crucially, under the amplification of [Hunger], [Power of Ash], [The Braver the Battle], [Red Lotus State], and other methods, his burst Energy Level would probably be even more unimaginable.

"The improvement from this Evolution is far greater than I imagined..." Li Yu's eyes flickered. He felt an urge to vent in his heart, knowing this was brought about by the sudden surge in power.

"Billion-Tier Level... I wonder if I've touched this boundary."

The Billion-Tier Level was the standard for an A5-Tier Lifeform. At the same time... it could also cause permanent damage to the Universe, representing that one had thoroughly stepped into the Apex of the Food Chain in the Interstellar.

It was just that, to rapidly develop the Titan Gene Chain, it would probably fall upon this [The Braver the Battle].

This state was similar to the Saiyan State, but even more powerful. After all, the Royal Blood Titans were the Old Ancestors of the Gold-Blood Clan.

As battle maniacs, Royal Blood Titans definitely needed to continuously battle to improve themselves.

However, regarding this point, Li Yu wasn't worried.

After all, he had quite a few enemies, and next, he would set his sights on the Titan Sanctuary.

When the time came, would he have to worry about not having opponents?

"Ultimately... I have some capital to Walk unhindered..." Li Yu clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed, using this most basic method to grasp the skyrocketing power within his body.
