Chapter 145: The Jiao Dragon About to Be Born

In an instant, his potential changed.

From now on, even if he relied solely on this ability, as long as he fully developed it, he could completely become a giant beast powerful enough to affect an entire planet—and that was why this ability carried the suffix "Planet."

This was a planet-level ability!

A terrifying ability sufficient to affect the ecology of an entire planet!

Unfortunately, for him this was merely icing on the cake; for one who possessed the panel, he believed his future would not stop here.

But for ordinary creatures, this could perhaps be called a divine spark or bloodline potential or something of the sort.

Once possessed, one could ascend to the heavens in a single step!

LV5—ah, this was an ability tier unlike all the previous ones; it could actually carry inheritances like those from those mysterious, ineffable worlds.

At this moment, Baichuan, drawing on the enlightenment brought by that special inheritance, reviewed all the ability tiers he had evolved through along the way, and finally sorted out the meaning they represented.

If LV1 and LV2 were ones ordinary creatures could possess, then the three LV3 tiers—"Banzhu," "King," and "Transcendence"—represented the absolute pinnacle of creatures in ordinary worlds.

Those who possessed them would surely be extraordinary, capable of becoming one of the topmost species in the ecology of an ordinary world.

And LV4 (Limit) represented a creature that had broken through the limits of its species and reached the extreme; without external influence, this might be a miracle that ordinary planets could not produce even after thousands, tens of thousands, or countless years.

Once such a miracle appeared, it could almost be treated as a deity by those ignorant creatures; just like "Chenmian LV4 (Limit)," which by relying on this ability alone could nearly achieve immortality, and over those long ages gradually become a god in the eyes of ordinary creatures.

And having reached the extreme, the next step was to enter the LV4 (Extraordinary) tier, transforming into a true extraordinary creature, no longer on the same level as mundane things.

And above that, LV5 (Planet), in a certain sense, could truly be called a god—and not the false god mistakenly identified by those ignorant ordinary creatures, because it represented a terrifying power capable of affecting a planet.

Now, Baichuan, who was about to possess a LV5 (Planet)-level ability, once he could shed his burdensome wings and still fly, might perhaps be called a Jiao Dragon.

Only such power was worthy of the Jiao Dragon in his heart.

Having sorted out all his doubts, he no longer hesitated; first he directly extracted the ability representing the wings on his body, confirmed it repeatedly, then directly paid 16 points and once again entered slumber.

He believed that after this time, having mastered flight, he would completely transform into a Jiao Dragon!

Before the familiar darkness fully arrived, this thought flashed through Baichuan's mind.

Then the familiar viscous liquid slowly covered him completely, forming a massive sphere like an eggshell.

Evolution had begun.

……

Time drifted by, and half a year had already passed.

Perhaps because this evolution's abilities were basically of one body with the last, the time required this time was not as exaggerated as before—only half a year had passed.

Accompanied by a tremendous cracking sound, Baichuan slowly swam out from the center of the great commotion.

The Jiao Snake, whose body had once again become elongated and even somewhat slender, did not hesitate; familiar white light points instantly spread wildly from within its body, devouring every creature along the way completely clean once again.

In an instant, the white light points spread far farther than last time, reaching a full five kilometers from Baichuan as the center.

That is to say, at this moment, all creatures within a five-kilometer radius centered on Baichuan vanished once again; this stretch of sea completely became a dead zone—though fortunately the ocean was vast, so this distance did not have much impact.

Baichuan once again felt his no-longer-hungry stomach, and his body, no longer deformed by massive energy accumulation turning into fat, and he let out a comfortable sigh.

Thanks to the newly evolved "Star Bag" ability, he finally had a stable energy storage repository from now on, no longer needing to convert energy into piles of fat that ruined his figure.

Even a Jiao Snake fears being too fat and ruining its figure.

After sighing this in his heart, Baichuan did not choose to leave, but slowly gathered the remaining flame and frost light points, moving these light points into his palm.

Feeling the light points in his palm beginning to die, he also sighed.

These were ones he had plundered from the Fire Bat and Ice Silkworm before, but after that battle at Tiandu, he had paid them no more attention.

Although back then the frost light points' burst had nearly all died, perhaps because his Regeneration was too powerful, even though the source of these powers had now died, they overall showed a dying and dissipating trend.

But his body had forcibly, passively nurtured a small cluster of frost light points, barely maintaining the soil for their survival.

But this was ultimately just a last gasp; no matter how powerful the Regeneration ability, it would gradually fail to keep up with the ever-faster rate of dissipation—ultimately a rootless duckweed.

He slowly sighed; previously he had always ignored these powers—after all, they had accompanied him for so long, so he had not been ruthless and driven them all out.

But now they were about to be completely devoured by him; feeling the power stirring restlessly within his body, Baichuan finally understood why that bloodworm back then had no particularly special element light points on it—not that it didn't want them, but that it couldn't do it.

Using mutated light points to change one's own power was not on it; this was a power belonging to flesh-and-blood bodies, the ability of that young beast.

But now he was complete; he would surpass that Tiandu bloodworm!

In thought, a large number of white light points flew out from Baichuan's palm, wrapping around these light points—some pale white, some crimson—like flowing liquid, and directly dragging them into his body, into that new organ that fused the characteristic storage repository and the flesh-fusion repository—the Star Bag.

Accompanied by a slight tremor, those light points that did not belong to him vanished, and Baichuan's Star Bag organ showed a slight change.

Feeling the change in his body, Baichuan once again controlled the two streams of light points to flow separately to his two palms; in an instant, one stream of crimson and one stream of pale white light points flowed out.

These were clearly his previous heat storage light points and frost light points, but these truly belonged to him—he had manufactured them himself.

Having obtained the complete Bacterium Lord ability, his light points had now completely split into two parts.

Just as his ability's explanation stated, divided into inner and outer.

The outer layer could carry the characteristics stored in the Star Bag and drift outward, granting mutation to all things; the inner could devour already-mutated light points, fusing their characteristics into himself.

That is to say, at this moment he could completely use frost and heat storage light points at will, no longer needing to worry about quantity or any dying dissipation.

As long as he still had energy, he could completely convert white original light points from the flesh-fusion repository into special light points.

This was his true path of development—unfortunately he currently only had these two kinds of special light points!

But soon there would be three.

And the third was the ability he had used the longest—electric current!

In thought, Baichuan also smiled; then two tiny, minuscule light points slowly flew out and landed between his palms.

Accompanied by a flash of black lines in his eyes, a panel abruptly unfolded!
