Chapter 381: Chapter 288: The Complete Divine Grace of Evolution
After absorbing Su Ze’s evolutionary power, the Golden Bloodline Crystal radiated a light as scorching as the sun.
Then, the light seemed to melt, suffusing into Su Ze’s blood and causing it to glow.
As his blood circulated, the light coursed through him, illuminating his entire body.
The light radiated from within, rendering Su Ze translucent. The fine blood vessels beneath his skin, each of his muscles, and the organs within his thoracic and abdominal cavities became clearly visible.
By now, the Golden Bloodline Crystal that had been embedded in Su Ze’s arm had vanished, completely absorbed into his body.
The radiance emanating from his blood was no ordinary light. It was rapidly strengthening and transforming Su Ze’s body.
Every part of Su Ze’s body touched by the light was strengthened and transformed.
His physical attributes were improving at an incredible rate, and even his Spiritual Power was being enhanced.
Even more incredibly, the Evolutionary Material from the previous Bloodline Crystal, which he hadn’t yet had time to digest, was now rapidly being assimilated under the light’s glow...
Like solid ice under a scorching sun, the Evolutionary Material melted away and was quickly absorbed by Su Ze.
This process alone saved Su Ze at least several months of time.
The light within him still burned fiercely. Su Ze let it continue to strengthen his body as he turned his head and saw the indistinct phantom behind him.
’This phantom really does come from the Divine Grace of Evolution skill!’
Before, the phantom had been so blurry he could barely make out a humanoid shape. Now, it seemed to have sharpened slightly. He could vaguely discern that it was a man—not some bizarre, monstrous alien, but a male human.
As Su Ze gazed at the phantom, the phantom gazed back.
Their gazes met. Su Ze’s pupils rapidly dilated and contracted. His vision lost focus as he was plunged into a series of fragmented images.
Su Ze already knew that Bloodline Crystals could pass down more than just skills—they could also transmit memories, something he had learned when he absorbed the last one.
Now, a new set of memory fragments appeared in his mind.
The memory fragments were disjointed, like a few pages torn randomly from a picture book. Su Ze tried to string them together, to piece together the original scene.
In the memory, he saw a colossal butterfly. Its size was beyond his imagination, and its colors were indescribable, unlike any he had ever seen before.
The butterfly was beautiful. Both its sheer scale and its dreamlike colors were breathtaking.
However, in the memory, its body was maimed and battered. Its wings were torn with large holes, and it lay perfectly still, making it impossible to tell if it was alive or dead.
And he—the person whose memory this was—was lying prone on the butterfly’s back. He seemed to be in terrible condition; even the scene before him was blurry and overlapping.
Su Ze knew this wasn’t his own experience. He was merely viewing the memories of the Bloodline Crystal’s original owner from a first-person perspective.
’The Golden Bloodline Crystal is indeed connected to the butterfly that came from beyond the heavens before the Era of Evolution began.’
’And the butterfly, in turn, is connected to the mysterious inheritance that Lin Hua’s Legend discovered.’
’This further confirms my suspicion. The Golden Bloodline Crystal most likely comes from that mysterious inheritance.’
The battered butterfly, its fate unknown. The person on its back, consciousness fading, heavily injured... ’It looks like they were fleeing for their lives.’
’Could it be that, like the master of the Mother Tree, they were also being hunted and had fled to Blue Star?’
Su Ze continued to sort through the memory fragments and, sure enough, he saw an azure planet in the memory—Blue Star!
He saw hundreds of ultimate weapons launching from Blue Star and the fiery blaze of their detonations...
He saw the man on its back gently pat the butterfly, and he saw the colossal creature, which had been unharmed by the explosions, suddenly disintegrate into countless fine particles and fragments...
’So that colossal butterfly from beyond the heavens wasn’t destroyed by the world’s ultimate weapons after all. It disintegrated on its own.’
The subsequent memory fragments were even more shattered, offering very little information... However, he could confirm that the person on the butterfly’s back did eventually arrive on Blue Star and left behind an inheritance.
The very same mysterious inheritance that Lin Hua’s Legend had found.
After the memory fragments faded, a stream of information flowed into Su Ze’s mind.
’So Divine Grace of Evolution is also part of the inheritance!’
The man on the butterfly’s back—the same man whose phantom now hovered behind Su Ze—had left behind a core inheritance, and Divine Grace of Evolution was merely its prerequisite.
Four puzzle pieces had to be collected to unlock the complete inheritance.
’So is my Divine Grace of Evolution skill considered complete now or not?’ Su Ze was a little bewildered.
He’d gone through so much trouble to complete Divine Grace of Evolution, and now he was being told there was more...
Once Su Ze had finished absorbing all the memories from the Golden Bloodline Crystal, the light radiating from his body rapidly dimmed, and the enhancement of his physique and spirit began to slow.
Finally, when the light vanished completely, Su Ze returned to normal. The Golden Bloodline Crystal had been thoroughly absorbed.
He felt that his life level had undergone another significant leap. The flaws in his genetic code had been patched, leaving his genes with no weaknesses.
The path of evolution toward a higher life level was clear once more. All of his skills were now Tier 4 or higher. As long as he could absorb and digest the second vial of Overlord-level extract, he could attempt his fifth evolution!
