<h4>Chapter 793 Golden Leek!</h4>
A small silver cube floated above the totem, gushing out ck cloud-like energy.
Evolution energy spread in the nest, covering the ck Spirit Race one after another. In just a short time, the nest was already filled with ck cocoons.
With a sh of Mechanical Force on Han Xiao’s fingertips, the small silver-white cube obediently returned to his hand, and he wore it back on his neck.
Han Xiao nodded. “Now, I just have to wait. I wonder what the ck Spirit Race will evolve into.”
Advanced civilizations more or less controlled secret technology that others could not replicate. The Evolution Cube was a relic of a civilization very close to bing a Universal Civilization. The technological essence within it had long been lost. Even when it was in Psyker’s hands, the Arcane Church could not understand it. Han Xiao had only tested the various parameters of the Evolution Cube.
There wereparatively fewer restrictions on this Universal Treasure. The Evolution Cube would absorb multi-dimensional and dark energy to charge up automatically. The method to use it over arge area was to cover an entire area with the Evolution Cube. That way, all the creatures within that area would be evolved.
This evolution energy was considered in the rage of Space Wonders—safe, no side effects, and exceeded all kinds of gene medicine and gene hormones. It was as if countless years of natural evolution were all concentrated in one individual.
After a short wait, a sudden clear and crisp sound appeared.
Ka-cha!
One ck cocoon cracked open, showing the ck Spirit Race member inside.
The ck Spirit Race were originally ck insects with strange appearances—they had hair between the gaps of their carapace, and their mouths were cone-shaped and could prate stone. They had no eyes, only four antennae that functioned as their sight organs. They had four muscr legs and a shovel-shaped tail covered in carapace. Basically, they looked like very vicious beasts.
Now, however, the appearance of the ck Spirit Race had drastically changed.
The proportion of their carapace and their muscle became much more bnced in a streamlined shape, much more aesthetic to the eyes. The hair in between the gaps on their carapace was all gone. They looked much neater.
The sharp fangs in their mouths became tidy. Two of the four antennae on their heads became longer and thicker, hanging on the back of their head like hair. The two antennae below disappeared and became bean-sized azure eyes. The antennae were previously organs to help them to adapt to living underground, but now the ck Spirit Race had started to get used to sunlight and were trying to live above ground. Originally, it would take many years for them to slowly develop and evolve into having eyes. However, the Evolution Cube had drastically reduced this process.
The ck Spirit Race still used four feet, but their two back feet became much more muscr as if they could easily stand up.
Kaching!
With the first ck Spirit Racepleting its evolution, it seemed to start a chain reaction. Tons of ck cocoons started to shatter. The brand new-looking ck Spirit Race appeared and looked around with confusion.
The surprise of the ck Spirit Race spread quickly in the Mind Network. To Han Xiao, these internal thoughts sounded as young as the voices of a child.
“Wha—What is this feeling?”
“I can see so clearly. Is this what sight is?”
“The sun is so blinding...”
Having gained normal sight for the first time, countless ck Spirit Race members felt curious and adapted to their new organ.
Han Xiao suddenly realized—the biggest change that the ck Spirit Race had undergone was not their appearances but their minds. They were born with connective minds, which meant that the ck Spirit Race had a very high talent in that area. Now, that talent was amplified... The most direct impact was that the brains of the ck Spirit Race became much more developed.
This time, a clear voice appeared in Han Xiao’s mind, which shocked him a little. This voice did note from the Prophecy Stone group chat server but was a voice sent to him through direct psychicmunication.
“ck Star God, we will remember the blessing you’ve granted upon us forever.”
Han Xiao looked over and saw that the Germinal Tribe leader was noticeablyrger than the normal ck Spirit Race members and was staring at him with his bean-sized eyes. The voice came from him.
“You can use psychic power?” Han Xiao wondered.
The Prophecy Stone was the base station of the ck Spirit Race’s Mind Network. Without it, the ck Spirit Race could not previously connect their minds. Now, however, the Germinal Tribe leader was able to transmit his voice without the help of the Prophecy Stones. This had exceptional meanings.
“I don’t know. I just felt that I could suddenly do it. I seem to be able to do this too.” The Germinal Tribe leader shook his head and suddenly picked up a small Prophecy Stone, bit it, and swallowed it. Right after, a circle of invisible energy spread from his head.
Feidin was slightly shocked. “Such special energy, there are traces of the Prophecy Stone in it...”
The next moment, the Germinal Tribe leader’s psychic energy formed a new Mind Network and turned him into a chat server. He had undergone some kind of positive mutation during the evolution, which tremendously stimted his psychic talent. There were dozens more mutants just like him.
Han Xiao was surprised. Everyplete Prophecy Stone was equivalent to an individual Mind Network server. Only the ck Spirit Race members in the same server couldmunicate with each other. Now, however, some mutants had be able to create their own servers, once again increasing the mobility and unity of this race.
This had extraordinary meanings to a race. With their race-specific talent enhanced, they would be able to adapt to more environments.
With such high potential, maybe this race can really grow into a powerful civilization in the future.
That was how Han Xiao sincerely felt.
He was truly d that he had kept the ck Spirit Race alive back then. Han Xiao had a feeling that this insignificant investment of his might yield more profit than he had ever expected.
After bidding farewell to the Germinal Tribe, Han Xiao did the same for the other tribes one after another.
As the ck Spirit Race had migrated as an entire race back then, although the various tribes lived separately throughout the years, they were still rtively close in terms of distance. So, it did not take too much time.
Han Xiao had gifted them the evolution opportunity, so the ck Spirit Race felt gratitude toward this ‘god’ of theirs from the depths of their hearts. Their belief became more deeply rooted, and they believed that they were a race blessed by God.
After Han Xiao left in the spaceship, all the tribes started to sculpt new wall paintings—of a small man representing Han Xiao floating above the ground, worshipped by the ck Spirit Race under him.
This day was forever recorded in the ck Spirit Race’s history.
...
Completing the ck Spirit Race’s evolution had taken less time than Han Xiao expected. He took his time looking for Fixed Stars to train Heber’s Energy Training Technique on the way and finally arrived at Aquamarine.
“Wee home.”
At the dock, Bet looked at Han Xiao as he walked down the spaceship, smiling with the joy of reuniting with an old friend.
Home...
Han Xiao’s thoughts drifted away for an instant before he suppressed the sudden surge of some kind of emotion and sized Bet up.
Bet still stood as straight as he always had, and his white hair was neatlybed.
Behind Bet were a ton of officers that looked like they were filled with nervousness and panic. When facing ck Star, their protector, only Bet could remain casual. Everyone else was overwhelmed by the pressure.
ck Star’s ‘wiping away nations with a few words’ deed had only been a few years ago. The example of the Six Nations was still crystal clear in the minds of these people. They could not control their anxiety when facing someone who could decide the life or death of their entire government with a few words.
However, the impact of what ck Star had done back then had already shown throughout the past years. From the perspective of an entire civilization, uniting the government was indeed beneficial. It drastically reduced internal conflict, and making decisions was much more efficient. Had they entered the gctic society with multiple governments, they would have ended up like the Luhan Beastmen.
“You look well.” Han Xiao nodded. He then looked at the small boy beside Bet.
Nero looked up and stared at Han Xiao with curiosity.
He had seen Han Xiao countless times in textbooks. He even memorized his deeds before. However, this was the first time that he had seen him in person.
“God—Godfather,” Nero stuttered with a shy tone.
“Good boy.” Han Xiao smiled. He then lowered his waist and picked Nero up, firmly holding him in his arms and tapping Nero’s forehead.
Nero was Bet’s child. Bet had decided to stay and guard Aquamarine and given his child to Han Xiao to take care of. Of course, he was willing to take care of an old friend’s child.
Nero had initially been a little nervous because of how high Han Xiao’s position was, but Han Xiao was very friendly and warm to him, so he became rxed in no time andughed joyfully.
“This toy is for you.” Han Xiao casually waved. Nanoparticles flew out from his shirt and quickly turned into a ck and gold hovering guard flying around Nero.
This was high-level Orange equipment; its energy core was a stable dark energy reaction furnace. It had both offensive and defensive abilities and multiple other functions.
A bright blue and gold electric spark lit up on Han Xiao’s palm and flew into the floating guard. He gave this machine permanent [Emperor’s Gift] and [Machinery Fusion] blessings, giving it increased capability.
“This Hovering Guard is a gift for you to protect yourself. You can give it a name.”
Then, with a snap of Han Xiao’s finger, he created a nano-level nerves connection device and nted it into the back of Nero’s head without him feeling any pain. He added, “It can move with your thoughts. However, this thing is very powerful. You’d better not use it recklessly, especially not to hit your father.”
An orange equipment made by a Beyond Grade A Super was extremely powerful. Even without his Mechanical Force bonuses, this hovering guard alone would be able to easily defeat any Grade C Supers. This type of machine had no level limit. It was basically god-tier equipment to low-level Supers. He did not even sell this to the yers.
Nero tried to control the hovering guard. With a thought, the hovering guard followed hismands and moved around smoothly as if it was his own body. Nero’s eyes sparkled immediately as if he had discovered a new continent.
“Thanks, godfather!” With a face full of surprise, Nero hugged Han Xiao’s neck and expressed his excitement.
“Go y.” Han Xiao chuckled, put Nero down, and turned around to head to the political building with Bet.
On the way, Bet started to report the situation.
“I’ve announced gathering orders in the various cities. It’s almost done. There’s nothing I can do to those we’ve missed.”
He had exined the situation about the Evolution Cube to the people of Aquamarine. Those who wanted to evolve would gather on their own. This would save a lot of time.
However, some people were unwilling to gather due to various reasons.
“Let them be. I’m not forcing everyone to ept the evolution.” Han Xiao shook his head. “By the way, I’ll let you use it first.”
Bet smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t actually want to use it...”
“You’re different.” Han Xiao waved his hands. “This is an evolution involving an entire civilization. Don’t you want to experience it for your people beforehand so that you have nothing to worry about?”
Bet shook his head with resignation and did not oppose it.
“By the way, Nero too...” Han Xiao paused. “Let me take him into the gxy. I’ll help him be a Super.”
“Isn’t he too young?” Bet hesitated.
“The earlier he bes a Super, the better. Since you’re nning to let Nero live his life in the universe in the future, it’s best to let him get used to that life as early as possible. Plus, there’s me. What do you have to worry about? He’s my godson. I’ll take him to travel for a few months in the universe before bringing him back.”
“Sigh, alright then.” Bet was initially hesitant, but he nodded in the end. He decided to stay and guard his mother, but he did not want to limit Nero’s future because of his own reasons.
This time, Han Xiao suddenly thought of something.
He thought about seeing Nero’s attributes.
He turned and looked behind. Nero was following behind them and ying with his new toy.
Han Xiao secretly released a tiny bit of Mechanical Force, turning nanoparticles into a metal needle invisible to the naked eye. He remotely controlled it and stabbed Nero’s butt.
“Ow!” Nero felt a pain on his butt and yelled with shock. He looked around hastily but did not notice anything.
As this dealt 1 damage to Nero,bat information appeared on the interface, and Nero’s attributes were fully listed in Han Xiao’s eyes.
Han Xiao scanned through. Suddenly, a tint of shock shed past his eyes.
Nero was still an ordinary child, so his attributes were basically empty. However, under the list of talents, there was a bright and shining list that shocked even Han Xiao.
The Molding Talent—[Advanced Luck Glow]!
Thi—This is Feidin’s level of Luck Glow. This kid is a high-level protagonist character? Han Xiao was so in disbelief he almost wanted to rub his eyes.
In his previous life, Bet’s life had beenpletely different, and Nero did not even exist.
Bet had Basic Luck Glow, and his son had Advanced Luck Glow. What are the chances of that? Did this thing run in their blood?
This time, a daring spection appeared in his mind.
Could it be that... Nero’s Advanced Luck Glow has something to do with me?
Come to think about it, Nero’s dad is the Aquamarine Federation’s leader, his godfather is ck Star, who’s known across the entire gxy, and he will receive personal mentorship from a Beyond Grade A at a young age! Isn’t that exactly extraordinary luck?
Han Xiao had no idea that such a high-quality leek woulde to grow in his own leek field. He was so surprised that even the way he looked at Nero changed.
Although Nero was just a kid, in Han Xiao’s eyes, this kid had be a treasure overflowing with luck.
If he had decided to take care of Nero because of personal reasons before, he now truly wanted to train this potential stock!
For a high-level protagonist-type character, he would at least be a Cmity Grade in the future!
What a pleasant surprise...
Han Xiao was thrilled.
