The scene was simply extremely spectacular and shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who saw it would feel the incredibly vigorous vitality within it, as if someone had condensed the \"evolutionary history of ten thousand races\" into this scene; the brilliant light of life was flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was incredible was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These \"evolutions\" were all genuine and flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every scene that each corpse was demonstrating contained a concrete evolutionary path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, if Li Yu had descended upon Takros’s homeland, this scene could turn from fantasy into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point, Takros himself had to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience of the myriad worlds outside the arena were also plunged into shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Ancient Saint himself let out a sound of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have known?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Li Yu was the Son of the Vortex God, but in a sense, he could also be counted as an \"Ancient Saint’s successor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, Li Yu had obtained the Saint Nest Flesh Secret Art and the core inheritance of the Modifier race... Both were direct lineages of the Ancient Saint, especially the Modifier race, which was the Ancient Saint’s most beloved devotee race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the battle began, the audience had imagined how Li Yu would struggle and how he would resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just never expected him to take the initiative to launch such a tricky attack: You say my flesh talent is bad, I will demonstrate it directly, and target the part you are best at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the even trickier part was yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those synthetic beasts and stitched humans that had revived and were demonstrating the great prosperity of life, while wearing the faces of Takros’s loved ones, all repeated Li Yu’s words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takros, you are just a hypocritical human. You like to see other humans suffer, you like to torture everyone except yourself, and you are also a despicable promise-breaker...

Because of the Vortex God’s characteristics in this aspect, once the Sage of Life-Stitching cannot curb his jealousy, he is likely to be gradually possessed by the Son of the Vortex God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a subtle pollution, extremely difficult to defend against.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at the critical moment, the divine artifact Sage’s Stone saved Takros’s life, at the cost of the artifact being one step closer to destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say, the Son of the Vortex God is quite right. If not for the Sage’s Stone, this Sage of Life-Stitching would probably already be dead...

No, the Son of the Vortex God moved first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This commentary, which clearly contained personal bias, had to change its tone halfway through.
