Chapter 382: Chapter 288: The Complete Divine Grace of Evolution
Su Ze carefully contemplated the complete version of Divine Grace of Evolution, thinking hard to organize his thoughts.
’The Divine Grace of Evolution skill seems to be complete now,’ he mused. ’But just like my other skills, it also needs to be upgraded.’
Su Ze couldn’t say what specific level the current Divine Grace of Evolution was, but he was certain that it would no longer hold him back, even if he advanced all the way to the legendary tier.
’But what if I have a chance to break through to the divine tier in the future?’
’What if I need to complete my seventh or eighth evolution?’
’It’s hard to say if Divine Grace of Evolution will hold me back then.’
’A skill that holds you back needs to be upgraded. But Divine Grace of Evolution is different from other skills; it’s practically impossible to find materials to upgrade it, let alone find a superior skill to overwrite it with.’
’And the path to upgrading Divine Grace of Evolution lies hidden within that mysterious inheritance.’
’It seems I’m fated to have this inheritance. I’ll definitely have to make a trip there when I get the chance.’
Of course, that was easier said than done. Without all the puzzle pieces, he wouldn’t be able to access the core inheritance.
There were four puzzle pieces. One was with Mr. Ke, one was with Su Ze himself, and the other two were still missing.
Each puzzle piece also offered a unique benefit. The benefit from Mr. Ke’s piece had yet to be claimed. The benefit from Su Ze’s piece was likely the Golden Bloodline Crystal he had just absorbed, so its only remaining use was as a key to unlock the core inheritance.
Since the other two pieces were nowhere to be found, Su Ze temporarily put the matter aside and focused on familiarizing himself with the complete Divine Grace of Evolution skill.
Divine Grace of Evolution: Gain one extra opportunity to absorb an extract at each evolutionary stage.
The effect of the complete Divine Grace of Evolution was no different from before; he could once again absorb an extra vial of extract at each evolutionary stage.
However, Divine Grace of Evolution also had some hidden effects—ones that couldn’t be directly perceived, but that Su Ze had come to understand through personal experience over time.
For example, the ability to freely choose skills when absorbing extracts, an extraordinary sense for suitable evolutionary materials, and the phantom image that had appeared behind him several times to protect him...
Su Ze hadn’t been sure where these abilities came from before, but after absorbing the Golden Bloodline Crystal, he faintly sensed that they had become more stable and powerful.
He suspected these abilities didn’t come directly from the Divine Grace of Evolution skill, but from the Golden Bloodline Crystal itself.
Divine Grace of Evolution was just one skill contained within the Golden Bloodline Crystal, not the entirety of its power. Clearly, the Crystal held other boons as well.
The only frustrating part for Su Ze was that while absorbing the Golden Bloodline Crystal had helped him instantly digest the Evolutionary Material accumulated in his body, saving him a lot of time, the Golden Bloodline Crystal itself also needed to be digested.
This meant that while he no longer had to digest the previous Purple Bloodline Crystal, he now had to digest the even higher-grade Golden Bloodline Crystal.
And a higher grade often meant it was much harder to digest.
Su Ze performed the Swan Dance once to assess the situation, and his face instantly fell.
Digesting the previous Purple Bloodline Crystal had been about as difficult as digesting a vial of tier-five extract. But the difficulty of digesting the current Golden Bloodline Crystal had increased dramatically, likely equivalent to at least a tier-six S-rank extract.
Fortunately, there were still plenty of Heart-shaped Fruits to be harvested on the spaceship, and those could significantly boost his digestion speed.
Furthermore, if the Mother Tree could get on good terms with the other Tier Six Spiritual Plant powerhouses on the spaceship, he might be able to obtain even more effective natural digestive aids.
Just as he thought of the Mother Tree, he heard its voice transmit to him: "The seal is complete. Once the residual soul within the jade awakens, you can communicate with him without worry."
After it finished speaking, the Emerald Spaceship on its trunk opened, and a vine coiled around a piece of jade, delivering it into Su Ze’s hand.
The Divine Residual Soul of the Nian Race inside the jade was still slumbering. Reassured, Su Ze put the jade away, planning to slowly interrogate the guy once he woke up.
Su Ze expressed his gratitude to the Mother Tree and prepared to take his leave.
The Mother Tree’s voice reached him again. "A great chaos is about to begin. If you find yourself in danger, you can always come to the Oasis for shelter. As long as a divine-tier expert doesn’t show up in person, I can still ensure your safety."
Evidently, now that Su Ze had overcome the great trial of dealing with the King of Mu, the Mother Tree valued him even more.
Su Ze naturally agreed at once. He then left the Miracle Oasis with Mr. Ya and sped all the way back to Dongli.
...
When they received news of Su Ze’s return, Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun could finally let go of the worries that had been weighing on their hearts.
The two immediately returned to the villa and prepared a feast to celebrate.
During the meal, Su Ze recounted his trip to Mu Country. When he described his battle with the King of Mu, both Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun were fraught with anxiety for him.
It was safe to say that the King of Mu had been a major hurdle on Su Ze’s evolutionary path.
Now that he had overcome this hurdle, his evolutionary path would be smooth sailing. As long as he had enough resources, he wouldn’t face any obstructions before his seventh evolution.
And right now, Su Ze was not lacking in resources. He still had a Purple Bloodline Crystal and two vials of tier-six extract on him, and he was certain to have more opportunities to acquire resources in the future.
For Su Ze, this trip to Mu Country was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. He had cleared the obstacles from his path and eliminated a hidden vulnerability. From now on, all he had to do was forge ahead.
"It’s a good thing you resolved this vulnerability in time," Mrs. Yun said with a sigh. "Things are going to get chaotic from here on out, and you might not have gotten another chance as good as this one to deal with the King of Mu."
