Chapter 1397
"Are you still planning to go?"
"You really won't come back with me?"
Blinking her eyes, she clearly had Fourth Stage strength, but aside from possessing strong mental power, Luo Si was essentially no different from an ordinary girl.
After hearing Lin An's brief description of the Earth world, Luo Si actually felt a sense of seeing her own kind, of sympathy.
In her view, she should persuade Lin An to go back with her and hide.
Let the Alien Species and mutants fight it out; anyway they're all monsters, and it has nothing to do with us.
As for Earth being destroyed? If it's gone, it's gone; she didn't think the destruction of civilization was a big deal. Everyone hides, living one day at a time.
Especially, Lin An's genes look good.
Their population is very few; if they could bring Lin An back to have children, perhaps they could give birth to a stronger next generation?
"No."
Lin An gave Luo Si a somewhat strange look and politely declined.
He naturally saw that this girl had an impulse to tie him back and give birth to monkeys.
The native humans of this world are quite strange; they are born with strong mental power. Moreover, the entire tribe actually has a strange "resonance".
They are born with telepathic communication, and whenever a tribe member dies, the newborn humans gain even stronger mental power.
According to Luo Si, she has had third-stage mental power since birth, and she can share her mental power with others.
This reminded Lin An of a certain existence that also exists on Earth.
"Mental power mutant, Wen Ya."
Recalling in his mind when he saw Wen Ya, Lin An also understood why he felt a strange familiarity toward Luo Si.
She and Wen Ya are extremely similar in ability to mutants.
Just that she seems to lack patterns? Of course, it's also possible the patterns are in more private parts.
Before leaving, Lin An, as if it were the last question, suddenly asked out of curiosity:
"Actually I'm curious; according to your information, the fewer your people, the stronger the innate mental power of the humans that appear next."
"Have you... not considered... well, self-sacrifice, piling up a super strong being to turn this all around?"
He asked this somewhat vaguely.
In Lin An's view, these native humans are practically an enhanced template of Perfect Beings and mutants.
Unlike humans, where a Perfect Being only appears after massive human deaths, and who this Perfect Being is remains unknown.
Compared to the inaccuracy of Earth humans, the native humans of the Fei Yi Shijie can obviously be artificially forced to produce Perfect Beings.
If the Perfect Being is a genetic mutation product of a civilization, Earth humans are recessive genes, while the native humans are dominant!
Given that they simultaneously possess strong mental power and Perfect Being traits, logically someone should have thought of this and attempted to create them.
However, upon hearing Lin An's question, Luo Si was first startled, then clicked her tongue.
"How can you have such an idea!"
"Self-sacrifice!? If everyone dies, what meaning is there!"
"Moreover, this enhancement seems to have a limit. Our numbers have been dwindling lately, but the enhancement of newborn compatriots compared to before is not that great."
"When we still had around several hundred thousand people, the newborns were peak Second Stage, right? At around a hundred thousand they became Third Stage, but now we have only several ten thousand? and they're still Third Stage..."
"The path from Third Stage to Fourth Stage then requires gradual strengthening."
"So instantly producing a super powerful child is not possible!"
"Of course, perhaps the child you and I have could."
She interjected softly and abruptly, then after subconsciously blurting out her inner thoughts she immediately corrected herself, as if trying to cover her guilt.
"Not just this.."
"And there's more, there's more else!"
She couldn't help but glance at Lin An's body beneath his battle armor, her eyes full of envy.
"What use is strong mental power... our bodies are too fragile."
"Before, no leader hasn't tried, they tried strengthening the body. But without exception, they all failed..."
"Our mental power repels spiritual energy, so we must either strengthen the body or strengthen spiritual energy."
"Moreover, we cannot grasp any rules. Aside from basic simulation rules, other rules require spiritual energy support...."
"We... find it very hard to become strong..."
Saying this, Luo Si felt somewhat secretly disheartened.
While native humans are born with strong mental power, this also locks their upper limit.
Although theoretically they can also absorb spiritual energy, compared to the easy path of becoming third- or even fourth-stage mental power, the spiritual energy path is too difficult and offers little chance.
They have no experience in killing Alien Species.
What they can kill are only zombies and mutants. The absorption of spiritual energy in this world is also too slow...
Thus, under these factors, many native humans believe they have been eliminated, and the destruction of civilization is unavoidable.
Hearing Luo Si's explanation, Lin An nodded and instantly understood this.
So...
Actually it's like flowers in a greenhouse; having power already, they instead cannot pursue greater power.
Native humans cannot accept sacrifice.
In other words, those native humans who can accept sacrifice and are willing to give up shortcuts and talent have chosen the most cruel and painful path.
Abjure spirit, become mutants. Strengthen the body, master spiritual energy!
Having confirmed there was nothing more to ask and having obtained no further information, Lin An nodded and planned to infiltrate the battlefield of death.
Luo Si and the others' understanding of the rules is probably not as high as Xiong Hanzi's.
Therefore, continuing to associate with them is pointless.
Compared to genuinely useless native humans, even though Luo Si repeatedly told him not to contact the mutated ones, Lin An still intends to give it a try.
Not only for other reasons; even if the mutated ones merely do not view him as an enemy, he can mingle in the Death Battlefield and secretly kill Alien Species.
Compared to having to be located each time he kills one outside, in the Death Battlefield where Alien Species suffer successive defeats, his survival odds undoubtedly increase dramatically!
Of course, danger and risk coexist.
It's also possible that more Overlords will act against him in the Death Battlefield.
"Let's gamble once..."
"The killing speed in the Death Battlefield is faster... compared to outside, where I flee while hunting Overlords. In the battlefield, in the melee, my strengthening speed is the fastest!"
"And..."
Unconsciously glancing at his palm, Lin An actually felt a throbbing sensation.
The perfect being he fused with—is it truly the perfect being of the Alien Species?
Why would a perfect being like him die?
