Chapter 606: Join the Glorious Evolution
Another few years passed.
The culture tanks in the deepest part of the incubation pool finally finished their final debugging.
Jie Ming stood before the control panel, his fingers sliding rapidly across the rune panel, lines of data flowing across the light screen.
The new incubation pool was not only the crystallization of his research on Rong Shan, but also integrated the core biological modification technology of the parallel world wizard civilization. He stopped his fingers and pressed the final confirmation key on the panel.
The runes at the bottom of the culture tanks lit up simultaneously, silver-white light spreading along the tank walls, finally converging on the fist-sized crystal core at the top.
That was another key modification of the incubation pool: the automatic extraction device for Lunar Power.
Jie Ming spent three years turning this thing from theory into reality.
The magic array would automatically extract Lunar Power from the moonlight of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, blending it into the culture medium in precise proportions, allowing every Black Giant being gestated to receive strengthening from the embryonic stage.
The only drawback was that it required quite a bit of time.
Lunar Power was not infinite; the amount that could be collected per unit of time was just that much.
Every time the new incubation pool incubated a batch of Black Giants, it needed to wait for a period of time to accumulate enough Lunar Power before it could start the next batch.
But Jie Ming didn't care.
It didn't matter if the efficiency was slow; as long as the quality was improved, it would be fine.
He checked all parameters again, confirmed they were correct, and turned to the Black Giant priest guarding behind him: "Start." The Black Giant priest pulled the starter lever.
The culture medium in the incubation pool's culture tanks began to roll, and countless fine silver light spots rose from the bottom of the tanks, dancing in the liquid like fireflies. This was the phenomenon produced the moment Lunar Power was injected into the culture medium.
The embryo slowly took shape in the culture medium, gradually differentiating from a blurry metal sphere into a head, torso, and limbs.
The silver light spots converged toward the embryo, merging into every inch of its tissue.
The unique silver-white patterns began to emerge on its body surface, denser and deeper than the previous generation of Black Giants.
Time passed in waiting.
When the light in the culture tank finally stabilized, a Black Giant, pitch black all over with silver-white patterns flowing on its body surface, stood up from the culture medium.
Its body was slightly smaller than the previous generation of Black Giants of the same level, but the liquid metal layer on its body surface was denser, and its eyes were clearer.
It looked down at its hands, then looked up at Jie Ming, its gaze filled with curiosity, awe, and an agility that the previous generation of Black Giants had never possessed.
Jie Ming mobilized his mental power, activating the Eye of Universality and the Fate System.
His gaze swept over the Black Giant's entire body, and he quickly obtained the corresponding data.
Physical fitness was 30% stronger than the previous generation as expected, energy absorption efficiency improved by 40% due to the influence of Lunar Power, and the increase in soul strength was the most exaggerated, directly doubling.
According to the promotion conditions he had researched from Rong Shan, this meant its probability of promotion was a whole order of magnitude higher than the previous generation.
And although there was no specific data, Jie Ming speculated that the probability of hatching Black Giant priests in the future should also be significantly increased. "Not bad." Jie Ming withdrew his gaze and nodded with satisfaction.
That newborn Black Giant seemed to understand, grinning and revealing a mouthful of obsidian-like sharp teeth.
Jie Ming let it find the Black Giant priest on the side, turned, and walked toward the control panel to record the experimental data.
The effect of the new incubation pool was indeed very good, allowing the new generation of Black Giants to complete their "evolution," but a problem also emerged: the old Black Giant population was somewhat backward by comparison.
He stopped his pen and looked out the window.
On the plain, hundreds of millions of Black Giants were busy.
Let them be eliminated just like that?
Jie Ming shook his head; that was a bit too wasteful.
"Hmm... although the consumption might be a bit large, the reserves should be enough."
He closed his eyes, golden light shining brightly between his brows.
The Fate System operated at full power, his consciousness following the network of the Incense God Dao, instantly connecting to the soul of every Black Giant in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
"Attention all." His voice sounded in the minds of all Black Giants simultaneously, "Do not resist."
Over ten billion souls trembled simultaneously.
Then, Jie Ming began to mobilize the belief network of the Incense God Dao.
The race characteristics of that newborn Black Giant were stripped, copied, encoded by Jie Ming through the Incense God Dao network, and then infused into the soul of every old Black Giant.
Which was the so-called—bestowal.
The entire process needed to be carried out extremely meticulously.
It couldn't damage the soul structure of the old Black Giants, couldn't cause rejection reactions, and couldn't make any mistakes.
The load rate of the Fate System soared, all the way from 10% to 70%, 80%, 90%.
Jie Ming's face was calm, his mental power pouring out like a flood.
In the Incense God Dao, the incense divine power accumulated for nearly a thousand years began to burn crazily.
Every wisp of incense divine power was used to drive this evolution program covering the entire plane, carving the new race characteristics into the depths of every Black Giant's soul.
On the plain, countless Black Giants froze simultaneously.
Their bodies were trembling, the liquid metal layer on their body surfaces was rolling, and silver-white patterns emerged from within their bodies, spreading to their whole bodies like lit fuses.
Because there were too many of them, the entire bestowal process lasted for a full day and night.
When the evolution of the last Black Giant was completed, Jie Ming opened his eyes, feeling as if his whole person had been hollowed out.
The load rate of the Fate System dropped to the bottom in an instant, and the incense divine power accumulated for nearly a thousand years in the Incense God Dao was almost only a few drops left. He leaned back in his chair, gasping for air, but the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears: "Worth it."
Over ten billion Black Giants, all evolved to the level of the new generation.
Their intelligence was significantly improved, and every one of them possessed wisdom close to that of the old version of Black Giant priests.
This meant that their efficiency in collecting incense divine power would be several times higher than before.
It wouldn't be long before the consumed incense divine power could be replenished, and they could even make a profit.
Jie Ming rested for a moment and sat up straight again.
He raised his hand and brought up the holographic map of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane on the control panel.
On the light screen, the distribution of over ten billion Black Giants was clearly visible.
They lived in eleven major tribes, each occupying a relatively rich area.
He marked eleven points on the map, each corresponding to the core area of a tribe.
Then he turned and issued an order to the Black Giant priest guarding on the side: "Build another incubation pool, and then install all the incubation pools in each tribe."
The Black Giant priest was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Lord, if all the incubation pools are dispersed, will there be... security issues?"
"It's fine; even if they are broken, new ones can be built, and if the incubation pools can be damaged by enemies within this plane, then what needs to be considered is not the problem of the incubation pools." Jie Ming interrupted it.
"The collection range of Lunar Power is limited; gathering them together will only lead to fighting over it. So dispersing them to different tribes, each incubation pool can cover an independent area, and the total efficiency will be higher instead."
Jie Ming thought for a moment and added, "Tell the leaders of each tribe that from now on, the incubation of the new generation will be concentrated after every full moon night." In this way, not only could Lunar Power be collected more efficiently, but the concept of the moon could be further strengthened. ===== CHAPTER 607 =====
