Chapter 812: The Path Forward for Super Lifeforms

Overall, this wave of Evolution wasn't a loss no matter how one looked at it, but there was one thing that was rather troublesome.

That was because Li Yu's main body had strengthened, leading to a further increase in the cooldown time for deploying Avatars, which had already reached nearly ten years.

However, Li Yu didn't care too much about this. Under normal circumstances, the rewards deployment could bring him were already very low.

Himself becoming a Super Lifeform was more important, and a longer cooldown time wasn't unacceptable.

"It's just that before breaking through the Barren Universe Zone, there are still some matters that need to be dealt with."

Li Yu immediately cleared all traces of this area, returned to the Dimensional Rift, and found Peyton.

"According to our construction progress estimates, to what extent has the Forerunners' connection channel been built?" Li Yu asked.

Peyton felt inexplicably that Li Yu had undergone a peculiar change, but he couldn't put into words exactly what the manifestation was.

He estimated while pulling up data: "Our construction progress has reached around 90%, but our speed of gathering resources isn't considered fast."

"70%... that's about enough," Li Yu estimated inwardly.

He was preparing to go Snatch the spoils directly soon. If he wanted to return from outside the Barren Universe Zone but didn't want to force his way in, he had to rely on this channel.

He could just take the Forerunners' Connection Device.

Moreover, the body of the Pioneer Chief was also a special Titan Artifact Prototype.

Source Matter could be extracted from it, so naturally, he wouldn't let it go.

"You, you, you..."

Just at this time, a voice filled with shock and uncertainty suddenly came from the side. It was Andrei.

He stared intently at Li Yu, his expression extremely horrified.

This guy had initially gained Li Yu's trust and, being bored out of his mind, often wandered around the Jade Void Palace.

This time, hearing that Li Yu had returned, he was preparing to come over and make his presence known.

As a result, as soon as they met, he felt a sense of terror coming from Li Yu.

And after focusing his Attention on the Dragon Sovereign,

He could feel the vast pressure coming from the other party's body even more strongly; that was a Lifeforce Suppression.

"You've become a Super Lifeform!?" His tone carried disbelief.

As an Antique left over from the Titan Civilization era, he clearly knew how difficult this threshold of Super Lifeform was to cross.

Yet it hadn't even been a month since he last saw Li Yu. How could he suddenly become a Super Lifeform?

"Super Lifeform?"

Peyton, who was querying data, froze slightly, suddenly turning his head to look at Li Yu. His eyes gradually changed from surprise to burning fervor, looking as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"I just broke through not long ago. Don't look at me with that Guinea Pig-watching gaze of yours." Li Yu glanced at Peyton.

Because he had just evolved into a Super Lifeform, there was still some residual Aura that could be perceived by Andrei.

But one had to be at least a Tier A5 Lifeform. Peyton, for instance, couldn't feel it at all and merely faintly felt that something was different.

"You really are..." After this news was confirmed, Andrei couldn't calm down for a long time, eventually spitting out two words: "Unparalleled."

How old was Li Yu actually? Less than thirty...

No, according to the information he had gathered during this period, Li Yu hadn't even stepped onto the Path of Evolution during his childhood.

He truly started his Evolution in some place called The Junkyard, and the time up until now was less than ten years.

This was too terrifying. Becoming a Super Lifeform in ten years, there was no similar record even in the Titan Civilization.

This news instantly caused a small sensation in the Jade Void Palace. Hunter, Sinai, Tu Ying, a large number of autonomous Researchers, and even Bloodlust all came over one after another...

"What does it feel like to become a Super Lifeform?" Hunter looked him up and down curiously, occasionally pinching Li Yu's relaxed muscles.

"The feeling that I can glare you to death with a single look," Li Yu said neutrally.

This made Hunter, who was about to pinch Li Yu's Buttocks, stop his hand mid-air and give a hollow laugh, "Couldn't you do that before too?"

"Why don't I have an impulse towards you now?" Keller's face showed some confusion.

In the past, every time she saw Li Yu, she would have a desire in her heart to rush up and suck his blood.

But today, she didn't have that feeling, even though Li Yu had clearly become stronger.

Li Yu was somewhat Speechless. Could the little one be more careful with her wording? What did she mean by "impulse"?

"Super Lifeforms do not intertwine with the Universe. Your external perceptions all extend along the Universe, so you can no longer perceive his existence."

Peyton explained, then turned to look at Li Yu again:

"Since you've already become a Super Lifeform, can you let me enter the Other-Dimensional Camp?"

In the past, when he wanted to contact the Other-Dimensional Camp, Li Yu always used the excuse that his Status wasn't high enough.

Now that he had become a Super Lifeform, his words should carry some weight, right?

Following Li Yu all these years, he had seen too many unimaginable methods.

Answers to these methods couldn't be found on Li Yu himself; they could only be found by looking into the Other-Dimensional Camp.

As a dedicated scientific research expert, he held unparalleled curiosity about this.

"Uh..." Li Yu paused and said, "If you want to contact the Other-Dimensional Camp, it's actually very simple. Just go back and look in the mirror."

"What do you mean?" Peyton was a bit confused.

"From the mirror, you might just see the chief research expert of the Other-Dimensional Camp," Li Yu blinked, hinting slightly.

The corner of Hunter's mouth twitched beside them.What chief research expert? Isn't that just Peyton himself?

"Are you sure?" Peyton asked hesitantly. "Have you greeted him? Are you sure he'll meet me through the mirror?"

"I have a lot of questions I need to ask him."

"Yeah, you'll see him as soon as you look in the mirror. He has helped me tremendously," Li Yu said solemnly.

Even now, Peyton hadn't thought of himself.

After all, the inexplicable things that happened to Li Yu, one after another—if they weren't explained by a mysterious organization like the Other-Dimensional Camp, then no answers could be found at all.

Why was his Evolution speed so fast?

Why could he display the Strength of a Super Lifeform at a low Life Tier?

Why...

There were too many unexplained questions. Hunter had been troubled by this for a long time, but later he figured it out.

These matters had absolutely nothing to do with him, and thinking about them only added to his worries.

And Peyton would never guess that the so-called chief research expert of the Other-Dimensional Camp was none other than himself.

After hearing this news, Peyton was somewhat Impatient and hurriedly returned to his Laboratory, obviously going to look in the mirror.

Apart from Hunter, the others didn't react much to this, and even felt vaguely envious.

After all, besides Li Yu, Peyton was probably the second person to start contacting the true High Echelon of the Other-Dimensional Camp.

As for the Red Metallic Man in the corner, he Withdrew due to defeat even more; the hope of freedom had become incredibly slim for him.

"My Lord, following your previous exploration, we have gained more understanding of that Wormhole," a white-haired interstellar human spoke up.

This was Dr. Dolson, a spatial expert hired by Li Yu from the outside at a high price, having signed a series of agreements.

There were quite a few people willing to work for him now, but true top-tier experts weren't so easy to get.

"Mm, how many people do you estimate can pass through that Wormhole at most?" he asked.

"With the help of the stabilization equipment we developed, it cannot exceed three lifeforms at most, and Space Compression Equipment cannot be carried," Dr. Dolson answered.

"Is that so..." Li Yu pondered. That Wormhole could save him a lot of trouble.

He had already noticed last time that Space Compression Equipment couldn't be carried.

In that kind of chaotic Spatial Channel, compressed space was easily pierced.

"I should be able to cheat using the Eternal Core, thereby carrying the Primal Transformers and a large number of Transformers..." he thought to himself.

After fusing through the Eternal Core, the Transformers and Li Yu could be considered a single entity, greatly enhancing his own Strength to counter the unknown risks of the Barren Universe Zone.

Heading outside the Barren Universe Zone was definitely a secret operation; he wouldn't inform the Star Glory Empire or anyone else.

"Andrei, Bloodlust, soon you will follow me outside the Barren Universe Zone..." he ordered.

These two guys were both Antiques and had some understanding of the outside world, so he wouldn't be Completely in the Dark.

"Go outside the Barren Universe Zone?" Andrei was instantly dumbfounded.

He knew very well how dangerous the Barren Universe Zone was. Even with Li Yu's protection, he might not necessarily survive.

But he had no capital to resist and could only agree with a bitter face.

As for Bloodlust, he didn't have much emotion. Anyway, it couldn't be worse than it was now.

"Right, do you know how the Super Lifeforms of the Titan Civilization continued to evolve?" he suddenly asked again.

"It seems to be to Devour Information State... to make themselves further stronger," Andrei said uncertainly.

Hmm?

Devour Information State?

Not Devour Source Matter?

Why does that sound so similar to the growth process of the Tree of Life?

The Titan Civilization wasn't the Star Glory Empire; they possessed the means to extract Source Matter.

"Incorrect..." Bloodlust suddenly spoke up: "It's to Absorb Energy to Temper Oneself, to become even stronger."

Andrei frowned and looked at Bloodlust, but didn't argue with him. Instead, he said, "I'm not entirely sure either. After all, I wasn't involved at the Super Lifeform tier, so what I know is just superficial."

It seemed they didn't know clearly either. He'd wait until the Destruction Prime Matter was extracted and try it first.

Li Yu pondered slightly and said again, "Then have you ever heard of an existence surpassing a Super Lifeform?"

Andrei didn't answer immediately but recounted, "My Lord, the classification of the Path of Evolution is different for every civilization."

"For example, the Titan Civilization used the Soldier, General, King, Emperor Grade Classification. Emperor-level Titans were the strongest, and in terms of Strength comparison, they should be equivalent to a Super Lifeform."

"But there has never been a Titan surpassing an Emperor-level Titan, otherwise the Titan Civilization would have been unified long ago."

"Never." Li Yu nodded slowly, but he was still a bit puzzled: "Then why did the civilization that possessed the God's Throne classify Twelve Main Gods, Four Pillar Gods, and the Genesis God?"

According to common sense, there were two more tiers above the Twelve Main Gods, and the Twelve Main Gods themselves corresponded to Super Lifeforms.

Then there should be two more tiers above Super Lifeforms.

But if it was understood this way, how could the Titan Civilization, which had never birthed a Titan surpassing the Emperor-level, have defeated the civilization that possessed the God's Throne, and even snatched the God's Throne?

"Regarding this matter, not many people know about it either. The snatching of the God's Throne happened a very long time away from the late period of the Titan Civilization," Andrei shook his head and analyzed:

"However, according to my understanding, the Twelve Divine Thrones are merely 'Authority.' As long as the 'highest Authority' can take back the Twelve Divine Thrones at any time, then it doesn't matter what kind of power is bestowed upon the Controller of the Divine Throne."

Li Yu slightly narrowed his eyes; this was indeed a line of thought.

Those Four Pillar Gods might only be slightly stronger than the Twelve Main Gods, but their "Authority" was higher.

"Forgot to ask a few more questions before sending the Fallen Titan to die," Li Yu muttered, though the Fallen Titan had already been determined to die.

Without the Tree of Life keeping him hanging on, he wouldn't have survived much longer anyway.

And the Fallen Titan might not necessarily have known the answers to these questions.

After getting a general understanding, he turned to look at another person in charge: "How is the Supreme Forge? Has the Destruction Prime Matter been extracted?"

He hurriedly answered: "According to calculations, it will take about another month or so."

"Is there any news on the Titan Sanctuary?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Anthony stepped out and answered: "Not for the time being. Lord Claptrap is currently analyzing based on information from the Black Hole Network."

Li Yu's thirst for Source Matter was now quite urgent.

Every portion of Source Matter could allow a Primal Transformer to evolve, roughly equivalent to a Super Lifeform.

And because of the existence of the Eternal Core, these Primal Transformers were his combat power, so naturally, he was eager.

It was just that the task of finding the Titan Sanctuary couldn't be accomplished overnight.

He still needed to focus on the already existing Titan Artifacts.

Among the known fourteen Titan Artifacts, he currently held four, Returning Star had one, and the Star Glory Empire had at least one.

There were four more in the hands of other Interstellar civilizations, and as for the rest, their whereabouts were unknown.

And before leaving, Li Yu definitely had to do his best to strengthen himself. Who knew what the situation outside would be like.

"I hope you guys are tactful, to save me the trouble..." Li Yu murmured.

.........

At the same time, Peyton, who had returned to the Laboratory, stood in front of a huge mirror, staring at his own handsome face in the mirror, his eyes somewhat confused and doubtful.

He had been standing here for a long time. Where was the chief research expert of the Other-Dimensional Camp?

Why hadn't he appeared yet?

Was I played by that guy again?
