Luo Yuan was sitting with his legs crossed ten thousand meters above the ground.
The thick, snow-white clouds were rolling. Looking at the magnificent scene, Luo Yuan's slightly gloomy heart slowly calmed down. He closed his eyes slightly and his mind gradually cleared up, like an old monk meditating.
The wind around him was strong and the airflow was turbulent. Countless cyclones were generated around him.
Half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes. He knew that when he gained power, he would have to pay a price. The price would allow him to leave the mortal world, just like how he was now in the clouds. He was high up in the sky but he was lonely.
He tried his best to hold on to what he was about to lose. However, everything was like an illusion and it was destined to be in vain.
Whether it was the continuous four-dimensional vision or the continuous growth of his power, it made it difficult for him to have close contact with ordinary people.
He felt a sense of loss and melancholy. After staying silent for a while, he gently pulled off the ribbon. Countless information instantly flooded into his mind. He frowned slightly, but his brain had already adapted to it. He pressed on the cloud and looked at the ground with his four-dimensional vision.
Suddenly, the endless green forest could no longer block his vision. When he saw the leaves on the upper layer, he could also see the situation under the tree. The obstruction of the three-dimensional world was useless in his four-dimensional vision. He could clearly see a low-level mutated beast taking a nap in the cave. He could also see a small worm crawling behind the leaves.
There were not many secrets in the world in his eyes!
As for the gigantic creatures, they could not hide their bodies.
The gigantic creatures that were the size of hills attracted Luo Yuan's attention. They were as eye-catching as torches in the dark. Unfortunately, most of them were level seven mutated beasts. Although the most powerful mutated beasts had evolved to level seven, level eight mutated beasts were still very rare.
Usually, it was difficult to see one within a radius of a few hundred kilometers.
Level eight mutated beasts were the most powerful life forms on the planet.
After one more step of evolution, they would instinctively fly into space and become interstellar lifeforms. This phenomenon was similar to a baby leaving the womb. It was not that they did not want to stay on Earth, but they could not.
This was because as their bodies gradually grew larger, the restrictions of the Earth's gravity on them would also become greater and greater. At every moment, tens of millions of tons or even hundreds of millions of tons of pressure would be like a swamp to them no matter how solid the ground was. Every step they took would cause them to sink deep into the mud, making it difficult for them to move forward. A single jump would even cause their leg bones to break. Their huge bodies were rejected by the entire planet. If they wanted to grow further, the only way was to leave Earth.
Of course, this was not absolute, and there were exceptions. For example, the lightning tree with an astonishing size did not show any signs of flying into space. Perhaps it was because it was very difficult for this plant organism to move, and it did not like to move. It still remained on Earth, its roots deeply embedded into the Earth's crust, maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the Earth.
Another example would be a rare small creature like Luo Yuan. In terms of adapting to gravity, small creatures were obviously more advantageous.
While Luo Yuan was flying, he was looking for level eight creatures.
Half an hour later, he found his target.
Its body was as huge as a mountain, making it look extremely terrifying. It was a creature that looked like a giant bull, but in reality, it was a completely different life form. Its dark gray skin had mysterious silver patterns, and two pairs of bright red curved and spiral horns were inserted into the air. The surface of the horns was shrouded in mist.
Its mouth did not look like that of a bull, but more like that of a crocodile. Two rows of silver fangs crisscrossed up and down, and its face was ferocious. Apparently, it was a carnivorous mutated beast.
At this moment, it was facing the carcass of a giant beast, swallowing it in big mouthfuls, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.
This carcass was obviously a level seven mutated beast, but compared to its huge body, it was obviously much smaller. It was like a house cat compared to a hunting dog. In just a few minutes, the level seven giant beast was completely swallowed, including its skin and bones.
It burped, revealing a mouth full of bloody fangs. In its cold and cruel eyes, there was not the slightest emotion.
At this moment, its body slightly stiffened, and its muscles tightened. A strong sense of danger spread throughout its body, and the mist on its body became thicker. For a moment, the surroundings were rippling like water, and the whole world seemed like an illusion.
Suddenly, its head slightly tilted, and it instinctively bit to the side.
This bite was so fast that even the speed of sound was not enough to describe its speed, but it completely missed.
It looked around anxiously, and its four hooves stomped on the ground, causing the whole ground to shake. However, there was no trace of the enemy, as if it was just an illusion. However, the sense of danger in its heart kept reminding it that the enemy was still nearby, and not far away.
It let out a deep roar, and its feet slowly retreated, step by step.
Right at this moment, it suddenly saw a tiny figure floating quietly in front of it. It was as if he had always been there, but it had not noticed him at all before.
If it had been in the past, it would not have cared about such a small creature. Even if it jumped on its body, it would be too lazy to move. However, at this moment, it was frightened, and its pupils suddenly shrank. Its body was covered in mist, as if it was facing a formidable enemy.
Luo Yuan threw his Zhanmadao to the side, and it spun a few times in the air before plunging straight into the ground with its scabbard still attached.
He slowly landed from the sky, his movements slow and leisurely, as if he did not care about the existence of the giant beast at all.
However, the giant beast was getting more and more uneasy. It kept roaring loudly, and the huge sound waves in the air turned into circles of substantial waves, as if there was a level eight or nine typhoon in front of it.
Luo Yuan shook his head impatiently, and could only feel his eardrums ringing. The next moment, he stepped hard on the ground, and the ground shook violently, as if a few tons of TNT had exploded, and a huge pit that was more than 10 meters wide appeared.
The terrifying shockwave immediately crushed the surrounding bushes into pieces.
Luo Yuan had already disappeared into the distance like lightning, leaving behind a huge cloud of sediment.
"Bang!"
In an instant, there was a loud bang in front of it. Against this kind of speed, the huge creature did not have any time to react. A fist wrapped in almost solid air heavily bombarded its leg, and its entire leg, which was nearly seven to eight meters thick, was instantly blown off.
Luo Yuan's running speed and the speed of his fist allowed his punch to exceed 20 times the speed of sound. After his fist passed through the air, a temporary vacuum was formed.
Before Luo Yuan's fist could directly touch its thigh, the impact of the air that was more than 20 times the speed of sound had already started to deform rapidly. First, the tough skin and flesh were crushed like powder, and then the hard bones did not last long, as they were instantly broken. The solidified high-speed airflow destroyed everything in its way, and the injury on its thigh rapidly expanded until it was completely broken. From the beginning to the end, Luo Yuan's fist had not directly touched the beast, but the aftershock of the air had completely blown off its entire leg.
Before it could kneel on the ground, Luo Yuan punched again, breaking its other front leg.
With his strength at this level, he no longer needed any fancy tricks. His speed and strength alone were enough to crush a level eight creature.
The giant beast's shrill scream finally rang out, but it only lasted for a short moment before it was immediately interrupted.
It seemed that the battle with his fists had stimulated Luo Yuan's long-suppressed brutality, and his attacks became more violent and crazy.
His phantom-like fists hit the giant beast's body like a storm, and each of his punches caused the giant beast to bleed. The air was gradually dyed red, and with the rapid airflow, the blood gradually spread to a few kilometers.
He was like a Devil God descending into the world, punching out one punch after another without any exhaustion. The air around him surged, the ground was overturned, and even boulders that weighed several tons were blown into the air by the strong wind and smashed down like meteorites.
The entire area had been completely stirred up by Luo Yuan's violent attacks, and ordinary people could not even get within five kilometers of him. The loud noise produced by his attacks could be clearly heard from hundreds of kilometers away.
After about 10 minutes, Luo Yuan finally stopped. After attacking for such a long time, his breath was still calm, and he did not even pant.
He came back to his senses and looked at his body. He helplessly discovered that his clothes had been completely shredded and he was naked. Moreover, blood and minced meat had already dyed his entire body, emitting an extremely strong stench.
He laughed bitterly. He had forgotten for a moment that he was only wearing normal clothes today. His original equipment had already been destroyed by him last night. However, even if he was wearing clothes, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a violent attack for long.
At that moment, the blood was still raining down, and there were pieces of flesh and internal organs falling from time to time. Even the air had a strange red color. He looked at the carcass in front of him.
To be exact, it could only be considered as a mountain of flesh.
Its body was completely deformed, and pieces of flesh of various sizes were scattered on the ground. The carcass was spread over a radius of one to two kilometers, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
The ground was also full of holes. The smaller ones were a few meters in diameter and two meters deep, while the bigger ones were more than 10 meters in diameter and seven to eight meters deep. It looked exactly like the surface of the moon that Luo Yuan had been to before.
He wanted to take out its energy crystal, but unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he could not find its heart. It was probably completely crushed. Luo Yuan cursed his bad luck, and thought to himself that he would have to be more careful next time.
Looking at the blood on his body, Luo Yuan frowned. He then shook his body slightly, and a buzzing sound could be heard in the air. The blood instantly shot out like bullets, and soon, his body became clean again.
Looking at the experience from the system, Luo Yuan thought to himself, "Only two left."
He picked up his Zhanmadao and flew into the air again, continuing to search for the traces of level eight creatures.
...
A group of people stared at the big screen. On the screen, Luo Yuan's naked body was suspended in the air. However, the key parts of his body had been censored, but his sculpture-like muscles and the strong visual impact of the big screen still made a few of the female staff blush slightly.
"He should still be looking for level eight creatures. Are we really not going to send him the information we have on level eight creatures?" An officer looked at Luo Yuan in awe and asked doubtfully.
"No need. If he needs it, he will ask for it himself. This way, he is asking for our help. However, if we send him the information, it will be different, and we will be asking for his help.
If we keep asking for something and the Reconstruction Area is unable to give him something in return, his attitude will change. Regardless of whether it's contempt or dissatisfaction, no one can afford to pay the price. He's a hundred times more dangerous than a level eight mutated beast. "
The general said calmly. He belonged to the hardline faction of the reconstruction area, and he was more afraid of the uncontrollable forces within the reconstruction area than the external enemies. In fact, there were many of such people in the reconstruction area. If it was not for the strength of the evolved humans, there would not be many evolved humans left in the reconstruction area.
...
At the same time, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, a huge spaceship was silently flying.
It was a gigantic disk-shaped spaceship with a diameter of 1.5 kilometers. The gray metal surface looked scarred and there were scratches everywhere. The shallow scratches were only a few millimeters, and the deep ones could reach up to 30 to 40 centimeters. Some parts of the spaceship were even inlaid with meteorites, giving it a vicissitude of life.
On the other hand, it could be seen that the armor of the spaceship was incredibly thick.
In fact, the armor on the surface of the spaceship was 30 meters thick. There were only about 1,000 people in the spaceship. The reason why it was so big was that there were a lot of factories and a huge amount of basic materials and fuel.
Although the Glassians were very familiar with space travel in the galaxy, and flying between planets was the norm, they had even left their home planet and gradually explored the surrounding planets. However, it was still the first time for them to travel such a long distance interstellar travel.
This spaceship was obviously an experimental one. It was a collection of the most advanced technology. It had been traveling in space for close to 60 years. Most of the parts in the spaceship, including the engine, had been replaced several times. It was even hit by a meteorite that weighed a few hundred grams at sub-light speed and was almost destroyed. It had to stay in space for a year to undergo major repairs.
Finally, five years ago, it stopped here, in this strange galaxy.
In a biological laboratory, there were countless petri dishes and Glassian embryos were growing slowly.
The genetic technology of the Glassians was far more advanced than that of humans. They had already reached the stage where they could modify nano-level objects at will. The genetic technology had even been applied to their bodies.
In the early days, the Glassians were weaker than they were now. Their lifespan was not long, and their average age was less than 50 years old. Now, the average Glassian had a lifespan of about 300 years.
The development of genetic technology allowed the Glassians to completely get rid of the shackles of natural evolution and enter the era of self-improvement.
Unfortunately, the natural evolution of the same planet produced a limited number of genome samples. Sometimes, a low-level mollusk's genome was similar to that of an intelligent creature. As for synthetic genes, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It completely depended on luck. At this stage of life optimization, it could be said that they had reached their limit in a short period of time. Next, they could only rely on time to breakthrough.
In fact, the original plan of the Glassians was to stay here for only three years before carrying out the destruction plan.
However, the mutation of the antidote virus had completely destroyed the previous plan. The huge mutated gene bank in the ecological planet had excited all the Glassians, especially the researchers. As powerful and mysterious genomes were discovered one after another, everyone had a premonition that a new era was about to come.
The next generation of Glassians would become stronger and smarter. They would also possess various magical abilities. At the same time, their technology would once again accelerate and their civilization would become more prosperous. They might even complete interstellar colonization in their lifetime.
At their level of civilization, the population was just a set of numbers that could be adjusted. If there was enough living space and resources, their population would increase by 10 times, 100 times or even 1,000 times. Perhaps it would not take long for more Glassians to come here in the future.
