Chapter 342: Chapter 342 The Absence of Evolution Theory

“`

Supersource Pterosaur 100|100, Supersource Triceratops 100|100, Supersource Velociraptor, 87|100.

After killing the Mutated Pterosaur, although Lin Shen was unable to find any other Mutated Supersource Dragons, he did kill a number of ordinary Supersource Dragons. The harvesting of Death Powder souls allowed for a rapid increase in strength.

Seeing that time was almost up, Lin Shen took a portion of the Ascension Liquid he had collected and went back, a part to exchange for money, and a part to give to his eldest sister as capital.

Lin Shen drank some of the Mutated Ascension Liquid from the Mutated Pterosaur himself, and what frustrated him was that Evolution Theory hadn’t been able to convert the Mutated Ascension Liquid into Base Mutation rate; Lin Shen’s Base Mutation rate was still at one percent.

The Base Mutation rate is the foundation of all evolution. Not only do Ascension Level beings need it, but Nirvana Level beings also need it.

Without a Base Mutation rate, no matter how many cycles of Life Base one has, Ascension to Nirvana is impossible.

Lin Shen knew where the problem lay: his Evolution Theory contained only the Base Mutation part and lacked the Ascension part, so the Evolution Theory could not convert Ascension Liquid.

“This is really troublesome. Without the Ascension part of the Evolution Skill, what should I do? Switch to a different Evolution Skill?” After Lin Shen returned to Giant Ring Star, he managed to get hold of a proper version of “Evolution Theory” and carefully examined it.

The legitimate “Evolution Theory” differed from the pirated version he’d practiced in only a few places, but it might as well have been poles apart.

The legitimate version preached gradual progression, while the pirated version indulged in unscientific mutations—they were not on the same path at all.

Lin Shen tried the Ascension part of the legitimate Evolution Theory, and it was of no use at all; it couldn’t even get his pirated Evolution Theory going.

“When in doubt, sleep on it.” Seeing that it was almost time for nightfall, Lin Shen covered himself with a blanket and decided to sleep first.

He had specifically gone to Ring Mountain Planet during the day so that he could sleep at night and coax the Fire Seed out in his sleep.

Lin Shen slept clutching the Base Mutation Egg without a trace of psychological burden. Even the most significant issues would have to wait until he woke up to be resolved.

God’s Love Base of the Human Mother Planet, Ouyang Family.

Ouyang Yudu’s limbs were chained with materials forged for the Ascension Level; his entire body was stretched out and suspended in the air in the shape of a “大”.

Ouyang Yudu’s eyelids hung low, as if he had fallen asleep.

“Yudu, why must you do this?” Ouyang Juemiao stood in front of Ouyang Yudu, sighing.

“Little aunt, you can go back. The decision I’ve made can’t be changed by anyone,” Ouyang Yudu said with his eyes closed.

“You refuse to break through by dual cultivation; that’s your choice. You don’t want to marry Bai Shenfei, that’s also your choice. But now, the only opportunity lies before you—why do you still refuse? This is your last hope. Even if you don’t care about the Ouyang Family, shouldn’t you at least think for yourself? Do you really want to stay at the Base Mutation level for the rest of your life?” Ouyang Juemiao pleaded.

“I will ascend, but I don’t need to use their methods,” Ouyang Yudu said.

“`

“There’s no other way left. If there were another way, the family wouldn’t have let you take this step. This really is the only option, unless you’re willing to dual cultivate with Bai Shenfei. Otherwise, this is the only path you can take,” Ouyang Juemiao said, pushing a girl about seven or eight years old in front of Ouyang Yudu on the platform, pointing at the little girl and saying, “She is your only choice now, your only way.”

The little girl, pushed by Ouyang Juemiao, fell seated on the ground. She didn’t cry out in pain, nor did she show any intention of standing up, just sitting there blankly with a hollow gaze devoid of any sparkle, as if she was nothing more than an empty shell devoid of emotions and soul.

Ouyang Yudu opened his eyes, his eyes blood red, as if they were dyed with fresh blood.

After glancing at the little girl, Ouyang Yudu closed his eyes again, “Take her away, I don’t need her.”

“No, you do need her. You know that, you’ve already tried hundreds of times, swallowed all kinds of Ascension Eggs, and not a single one could help you break through. Without breaking through in Gift Theory, any Ascension Egg is useless to you. You can only take this step,” Ouyang Juemiao sighed, “Ouyang Yudu, you’re not just living for yourself. You also have to live for the Ouyang Family. You should be very clear about the situation the Ouyang Family is in on the Alien World. The Ouyang Family needs you to step forward, we need an exceptional genius to lead our clan members to survive on the Alien World. Whether it’s for yourself or for the Ouyang Family, you must keep going, even if the road ahead is paved with blood, you have to walk it.”

“I will keep going, but not in the way you all are thinking,” Ouyang Yudu still insisted.

“If you had agreed to dual cultivate with Bai Shenfei before, there might have been a possibility. Now, you have no choice left,” Ouyang Juemiao said, glancing at the little girl on the ground with a numb and empty expression, “Since you can’t make up your mind, let your little aunt help you.”

“Little aunt, no need to waste your efforts. No matter what you do, I won’t take this path,” Ouyang Yudu remained resolute.

But Ouyang Juemiao didn’t pay attention to him; instead, she clapped her hands, and soon several people came in, standing in front of Ouyang Yudu.

These people were of all ages, men and women, seemingly with nothing special about them.

Ouyang Yudu had already closed his eyes, but the sound of their footsteps forced him to open them again.

“You’ve come too? Are you also here to persuade me to take that path?” Ouyang Yudu looked at the people in front of him, his face somewhat contorted.

Among these people were his grandfather who had raised him like his own son since childhood, childhood friends he had played with as he grew up, a girl who had taken care of him every day for over a decade, and a teacher who had always guided him.

“Xiaodu, you’ve grown up, and there are things you should do now,” his white-haired grandfather said with a complex look at Ouyang Yudu.

“Grandfather, please don’t say it, I know what I should and shouldn’t do,” Ouyang Yudu said.

“Child, this is the last thing I can do for you,” the old man said, and pulled out a dagger, stabbing it into his own heart. He then fiercely pulled it out, allowing the blood to spurt out.

Ouyang Yudu, splashed with the blood, suddenly widened his eyes; those eyes already the color of blood now wept blood as well.

“Grandfather, what are you doing?” Ouyang Yudu screamed madly, struggling desperately but unable to break free from the chains on his hands, “Little aunt, have you gone mad? Why didn’t you stop him, what are you doing?”

Ouyang Juemiao spoke indifferently, “When your mother was pregnant with you, she was bitten by a mysterious Base Variant Creature, which resulted in you being born with a power that was not supposed to belong to humans. I know you hate this power, it made you lose your mother at birth. It also made you different from ordinary people, unable to live a normal life.”

“However, this power is also your greatest asset. This girl has mastered Gift Theory, she, like Bai Shenfei, possesses unparalleled talent. With your power, if you devour her, you won’t need Bai Shenfei. Alone, you can break the limits of Gift Theory, becoming the first Ascender in history to practice Gift Theory,” Ouyang Juemiao said expressionlessly.
