Chapter 747: Life Leap Potion

The scene was cleaned up. The traces of battle here would also be erased, not letting anyone know what had happened here.

Even using time projection to backtrack wouldn't be able to find any traces.

Although he was preparing to go back and ask the Fallen Titan, according to the intelligence reports, there was still a Civilization Ruins on this planet that needed to be handled.

"I was just about to say, why is it you kid again? You don't really have some special Identity, do you? You run into everything."

Li Yu glanced at Ron. This was already the third time he had seen this kid, and every time some wondrous things happened.

"What special Identity? I'm just a normal Citizen, I don't have any Identity." Ron hurriedly explained, thinking Li Yu suspected he was an undercover agent sent by some organization.

Li Yu shook his head, knowing the other party didn't understand his meaning, and added: "Just joking. What's the situation with this Civilization Ruins?"

Hearing this, Ron hurriedly pushed his friend forward and said: "Your Excellency Dragon Lord, being able to discover this Civilization Ruins is entirely to the credit of this Friend of mine."

"Oh..." Li Yu glanced at Joseph. This guy looked somewhat uneasy, and the Life Aura on his body was somewhat weak, as if he was heavily injured or sick.

This thought flashed through Li Yu's mind, but he didn't care either. Then he heard Ron continue:

"You don't know, this Friend of mine is very impressive. Since we were young, he frequently picked up Star Coins discarded by others. I always hung around him when I was little."

"This time it was also him feeling that there was something over here, which is why we were able to discover the Civilization Ruins here..."

"Hm?" Hearing this, Li Yu became slightly interested. Through the other party's emotional fluctuations, he could basically confirm that these two people weren't lying.

"What kind of Superpower is this?" he inquired.

"We can't detect a Superpower, but it's definitely not simple. This was our very first operation, and we directly found a Civilization Ruins..." Ron explained.

This was indeed something to marvel at. Given how massive the Ancient Starpath was, Civilization Ruins were extremely rare within it.

For these two guys to find one on their first operation could indeed prove some things.

However, besides this kind of "unseen guiding hand" feeling, there was no other substantive evidence to prove this point.

But this wasn't an urgent matter anyway, it could naturally be verified after some time.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said: "I understand. Let's go to that Civilization Ruins you discovered earlier first. I heard there's a special item inside that temporarily cannot be opened."

Since they were already here, they might as well go take a look on the way.

Ron and Joseph hurriedly followed. Before long, the group returned to the Civilization Ruins. Li Yu sized up the surroundings; it indeed had experienced a long period of time.

"There's a Recording, but we aren't clear what's in it. Lord Claptrap is currently deciphering this civilization's language, there should be results very soon," Ron reported.

"No need, just play it directly." Li Yu shook his head. He had a language buff and could understand it directly.

"Alright..." Ron didn't know why, but he didn't hesitate either. The Recording from earlier was subsequently played.

It was another series of narrations. The others had already watched it; only Li Yu's eyes flickered, and a hint of surprise even surfaced at the end.

"Lotus Civilization..." he muttered in a low voice.

"You can understand this language?" Ron heard Li Yu's words and said somewhat astonished.

This language wasn't recorded in the interstellar Translator. It was obviously an undiscovered civilization, and he didn't know how the Dragon Sovereign understood it.

"Yeah, they call themselves the Lotus Civilization... In their civilization, this has the meaning of being as bright as a gem..." Li Yu raised his hand, the Infinity Gauntlet surfaced, and the Reality Stone flashed.

A stream of red particles surged out. This Research Base, which had experienced a long time of decay, began to radiate new Vitality. The mottled and decayed metal walls gradually returned to silver-grey.

The power supply channels, which had long since ceased to have any Energy flow, also gradually lit up.

This wasn't reversing time. It was unknown how long ago this Research Base existed from the present. If he really used the Time Stone to reverse time,

He was afraid he might reverse the Tree of Life, which had just entered its growth phase, back to its infancy.

Him using the Reality Stone to restore the Research Base to its original state was taking a different approach, greatly reducing the burden.

The lights lit up. On the massive screen in the center of the Research Base, a mimetic sound wave surfaced, emitting sounds that the crowd couldn't understand.

However, according to common sense, they could also deduce that it was probably asking for Authority and the like.

And Li Yu walked directly up. The Symbiotic Colonization Armor derived a probe and plugged it directly into the external interface.

A moment later, the massive display screen flashed continuously, and then a familiar Unicycle Robot popped out——

"Master, I have taken over this Research Base and am synchronizing the Database information."

"Did you find the formula for the Life Leap Potion?" Li Yu asked.

Claptrap replied: "Found it. At the same time, I also discovered some interesting things. I think you should be interested."

The others were listening in a fog. Why did it feel like the Dragon Sovereign was so familiar with this Research Base?

Claptrap projected a Holographic Screen. Playing behind it was a scene of war, accompanied simultaneously by a massive amount of static and roars.

One of the sides should be this so-called Lotus Civilization. They were putting all their effort into resisting the enemy's invasion.

But judging solely from this war scene, they and their enemies were completely not opponents on the same tier.

Those black and red interwoven fleets, their numbers and scale couldn't compare to the Lotus Civilization's fleets, yet they beat them to a pulp.

"Eh, isn't that civilization Emblem..." The Hunter was somewhat surprised, but then closed his mouth again, not finishing his sentence.

Li Yu nodded, confirming his guess. Those black and red interwoven fleets were precisely Li Yu's old acquaintances——the Creator Civilization.

The Lotus Civilization was also destroyed by the Creator Civilization.

"It seems the civilizations Outside Civilizations don't exist in the form of a galactic union." Li Yu pondered inwardly.

According to the information left behind by the Lotus Civilization, after experiencing a long period of development, they basically hadn't encountered a civilizational structure similar to the Interstellar one.

The civilizations they encountered during this period were all very cold towards them, and several wars had also broken out.

It was completely unlike the Interstellar space he was in, where although large civilizations sat high above,

There was indeed the Interstellar Convention protecting some civilizations that hadn't yet stepped out of their Star Systems, or relatively weaker civilizations.

The outside civilizations were more like the "Dark Forest Law" Li Yu was familiar with from his past life, yet slightly different.

Li Yu thought carefully and realized that the fundamental reason this Interstellar space formed such an environment was because of the Titan Civilization's legacy.

There were people Loot Drops everywhere, and everyone's development level was similar. From the very beginning, it was a situation of struggle plus cooperation.

Ultimately forming the situation of a galactic union.

But the outside civilizations weren't like this; war was the main theme.

"Interesting..."

He wasn't interested in pondering the pros and cons of these two universal societal models, just somewhat surprised.

The Lotus Civilization's evolution method and genetic evolution had the same result but different approaches. They concocted various leap potions, first-rank, second-rank, third-rank, and so on.

Using this to master various powers that surpassed their own Life Tier.

The Genetic Evolutionary Path, placed on the scale of the entire Interstellar space, might not be considered top-tier, but it was also considered very good.

Relatively speaking, it achieved a balance of combining Technology and personal effort.

Genetic Serums were more like "Foundation Establishment pills" and the like, used to break through bottlenecks, but primarily one still relied on their own development and integration of Genes to slowly progress.

And the Lotus Civilization's life leap evolution was similar. This meant that if one wanted to undergo sustainable Evolution, the lifeform's own effort was indispensable.

If one wanted to purely rely on technological means, the path of Cybernetic Enhancement was a living example.

"There are only formulas up to the ninth-rank Life Leap Potion, there is no tenth-rank..." Claptrap continued.

"Tenth-rank should roughly correspond to a Super Lifeform." Li Yu pondered: "I'm afraid it's not that there isn't one, but rather there is no record of it in this Base."

"Synchronize the Database, and have the gene experts create feasible substitute plans based on material characteristics." Li Yu issued an order.

"Yes..." Claptrap replied.

He naturally didn't need to walk another Path of Evolution. He just wanted to experiment to see if this Life Leap Potion could have an impact on Gene Chain Development Progress.

Ron and Joseph still didn't understand what was going on, but they also had a premonition that the Civilization Ruins they found was probably not simple.

While the data was synchronizing, Li Yu arrived in front of that thing that looked like a cryo-chamber.

Something Blade Noble couldn't open naturally posed no difficulty to him. He easily cut it open. Condensation gas leaked out, causing everyone to be somewhat astonished.

The long age of this Civilization Ruins was unquestionable, yet they didn't expect there would actually still be condensation gas in this cryo-chamber.

"Stasis Container. This is a creation from the Lotus Civilization's peak, specifically used to store Life Leap Potions."

Li Yu raised his hand, and a crystal bottle about the thickness of a baby's arm floated up from within.

The advantage Life Leap Potions had over Genetic Serums was that Genetic Serums required specific Gene Chains to be forged.

For high-level Genetic Serums, every single one was different. It was very difficult to capture powerful organisms in advance to manufacture them.

They could only wait for someone in need to provide requirements, and then go forge it.

But Life Leap Potions were different. The formula was basically the same, which meant they could continuously manufacture them.

But similarly, once Potions like this were manufactured, they would naturally continuously lose their vitality.

How to effectively preserve them became a problem.

The Stasis Container was a preservation method; even low-level A-Tier Lifeforms couldn't open it.

And this one before him, because the time had been too long, the stasis effect was long gone, leaving only the low-temperature storage effect.

The crystal bottle fell into Li Yu's hand. On the surface was a strange symbol. Li Yu knew this was the character for "nine" in the Lotus Civilization.

It meant this was a bottle of Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion. The pale red liquid inside was slightly viscous, mixed with some pale golden specks of light.

"What a pity. Without an eighth-rank Lifeform, this bottle of ninth-rank life Potion is also just a decoration." Li Yu shook his head.

The people of this Base naturally didn't specifically leave this Potion behind, but rather because there was no suitable user.

After sizing it up for a moment, Li Yu used the Time Stone to forcibly reverse time a bit, recovering more vitality.

He opened the bottle mouth and drank it in one gulp. This gave Ron and the other a fright.

After all, who knew from what year and month this thing was, yet the Dragon Sovereign just directly drank it. If something went wrong, wouldn't they be dead meat?

But on second thought, with the Dragon Sovereign's powerful Strength, he shouldn't be in any danger no matter what.

And while they were thinking, an incomparably powerful Aura had already burst forth from Li Yu's body.

Fortunately, there was an invisible barrier helping them isolate this Aura, otherwise these two little squirts would likely have been directly torn apart.

And Li Yu, who had drunk the Life Leap Potion, felt as if he had swallowed a Fireball. He hadn't had this feeling in a long time.

Rolling hot currents surged into each imperceptible Cell, causing them to let out long-absent groans.

It's going to overflow!

Blazing high temperatures surged within his body. He immediately put on the Virtual Glasses and found a buff.

[Life Leap: You are currently undergoing a life leap, but due to your own Life Tier being too high, as well as the loss of medicinal efficacy, it cannot achieve the effect of a life leap.]

Because the Stasis Container had lost its main "stasis effect" over the long passage of time, although low-temperature storage could delay the loss of vitality,

The time that passed was simply too long after all, and a large portion of the vitality had inevitably been lost.

A moment later, the Aura on Li Yu's body gradually disappeared, and the [Life Leap] buff also changed into another buff.

[Leap Stasis: You have already undergone a life leap within a short period of time. Before your body adapts, you cannot undergo another life leap. Forcibly leaping will cause harm to your body.]

Isn't it just a cooldown period, he understood.

It was just that, regarding the harm caused to the body, could it be made up for using the Tree of Life?

This speculation surfaced in his mind.

However, whether it was worth it still depended on another result.

Li Yu opened the gene detection Equipment, and then a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Just as expected, the Gene Chain Development Progress jumped 2% and had already reached 3%.

Life leaps, fundamentally, were also the excavation of a lifeform's potential.

And Gene Development Progress was also developing potential. These two indeed produced a chemical reaction.

Combining this thing with [Creation of Heaven and Earth] was simply delightful, the development progress getting straight onto the highway.

Li Yu felt quite happy inside, and the look in his eyes towards Ron and Joseph also became much kinder.

He now basically believed that these two guys definitely had a buff like "Child of Destiny".
