In the base located in the Twilight Forest, two months had passed. The original Insectoid Base had expanded exponentially, with millions of insects constructing a vast underground city comparable to Source City.
The entire Twilight Forest had become a granary for the swarm, with various Radiation Monsters being devoured. They were even forced to begin conscious breeding; otherwise, they risked complete extinction.
There was no choice. The Zerg's reproduction and evolution were on par with those Radiation Monsters, and their plundering of resources left those creatures far behind, making them utterly incomparable.
For the Zerg, everything could be consumed as a source of energy—plants, animals, minerals, even underground magma—allowing them to spread and expand continuously.
If left unchecked, the insects could devour all trees and plants in their path, leaving nothing but barren land—no, it could extend for dozens of meters, with even underground creatures and minerals unable to escape their fate!
Now, the Zerg had formed a complete system for invasion, reproduction, expansion, and adaptive evolution that allowed them to evolve and expand in various environments.
The Zerg Queen, Kerrigan, had cultivated special mother insects that acted as her avatars. These could establish perfect cocoons elsewhere, providing facilities for incubation, breeding, and evolution.
Of course, these avatar mother insects could only nurture Ultimate Evolution Bodies in limited numbers; for stronger insects, they had to be bred personally by her.
The Twilight Forest spanned about two million square kilometers but had been nearly scoured by the Zerg. Their search was thorough enough to dig deep into the ground, leaving no mineral unturned.
Mining bases had been established throughout the forest, continuously supplying various refined resources like gold, silver, copper, and iron to many cities. This became the strongest driving force behind the modernization of industrial development in major cities, leading to the widespread adoption of steam engines in factories.
However, Xiar was not here for another inspection; he was here to conduct an experiment.
The target of this experiment was Vaxinger, who lay quietly on the Experiment Table. His bare body was muscular and marked with scars.
“Next, I will conduct a brand new experiment on you—one whose outcome I cannot guarantee. If successful, you will possess limitless evolutionary potential; if it fails, you may die. I ask you one last time: are you ready?” Xiar inquired.
“Please proceed! I will not regret it regardless of the outcome!” Vaxinger responded firmly.
“Okay then. The experiment begins now. It might hurt a little at first, but it will soon become comfortable.”
Xiar waved his hand as his tangible mental power immersed Vaxinger in a red liquid that resembled fresh blood.
The effects of this liquid were even more astonishing than the Secondary Source Elixir, and its potency was equally remarkable. He could immerse his entire body in it, fully enjoying the baptism of the potion, which would brutally transform his body.
No pain, no gain; only through rebirth could he truly be renewed!
In the next moment, Vaxinger instantly understood just how painful his earlier claim of "a bit of pain" really was.
“Ah!”
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, feeling every inch of his body in agony, as if countless knives were slicing through his flesh, subjecting him to an endless torment of a thousand cuts.
Soon after, this pain rapidly morphed into an itch—an indescribable itch that burrowed deep into his bones, making him want to tear off his own flesh and break his bones to stop this maddening sensation.
Terrifyingly, this was not merely a psychological sensation; it was a horrifying reality unfolding before him.
His skin began to peel away in chunks, revealing the tender muscles beneath, with veins and even bones exposed to the crimson liquid, enjoying a unique massage from within.
If such a scene were to be broadcast on the Magic Web, it would leave viewers utterly dumbfounded; even the bravest adventurers would struggle to endure such horrific torment.
But this was just the beginning!
“These liquids are the essence of Cultivating Ultimate Insect Beasts. Although they have been diluted many times over, their potency remains too strong for humans. However, only in this way can you acquire a certain degree of Radiation Monster traits and fully embark on your path of Evolution.”
Xiar waved his hands while calmly narrating.
From Vaxinger's bloodied body, grayish halos slowly rose, quickly forming a Grayish White cocoon that completely enveloped him.
Above it, a mysterious and complex bizarre diagram emerged—one that belonged to humanity.
“The True God Cult has long been researching how to turn humans into Totem Beasts. Morent studies how to merge with Totem Beast powers, while I focus on unlocking the hidden Inheritance Factor unique to the human body, allowing humans to undergo transformation into powerful beings. And you have the honor of becoming the first true Experimental Subject; you may also become the first new human!”
The brilliance of the Inheritance Factor shone brightly as Xiar squinted at the various luminous patterns above him, each containing endless secrets.
Even he—the first person in history with a Totem Drawing level exceeding that of a master—found it exceptionally challenging to interpret.
Humans, seemingly fragile, became the rulers of this planet shortly after their emergence, which in itself is a miracle.
Thus, Xiar believes that within the human body, which appears so weak compared to beasts, lies boundless potential.
Now, he aims to uncover this potential, enabling this Experimental Subject to embark on the path of Evolution—a path that truly belongs to humanity!
For this experiment, he has already consumed tens of thousands of Evolution Points, elevating various fields of knowledge beyond the master level. He has become the most terrifying knowledge master in this world, capable of freely altering and integrating Inheritance Factors.
Many of the new types of insects were transformed only after he uploaded his knowledge to the Magic Web, allowing other Spirit Masters to download and learn it!
Fortunately, when the insects kill Radiation Monsters, they also provide him with Evolution Points. Although these points are less than one-tenth of what he would earn from personally slaying them, the sheer number of insects ensures that their efficiency far surpasses his own efforts.
Next, a Large Combination Spirit Technique was unleashed, originating from that Frog Teacher's Infinite Transformation Technique!
"Infinite Alienation, infinite Evolution! Whether it succeeds or fails depends on your own fortune," Xiar murmured as the light of the Spirit Technique shone brightly, enveloping everything completely.
Zizz! Gurgle! Boom!
Various sounds suddenly erupted from the subject's body; chunks of flesh fell away while new ones grew back in their place. This process continued uninterrupted.
After more than an hour, Vaxinger suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up from the crimson liquid. He touched his bald head and murmured, "I feel like I've become many times stronger!"
