[The third development direction is to take a step further in the direction of evolution research.] The system didn't give a concrete explanation of the third development direction and only gave a vague reply.
"Take a step further? Take a step further in the direction of evolution? "Li Yunmu didn't understand, but he grasped the main point.
"This ability to take a step further in the direction of evolution research, how much is it?" Li Yunmu instantly sensed that the crucial point had arrived.
The truly good stuff was still hidden at the very end.
Previously, regardless of whether it was bestowing a new shadow skill to congeal the shadow devil or the ability to reproduce, both of them sounded extremely useful.
But compared to the third ability, they paled in comparison. No, it would be more accurate to say that they weren't even on the same level.
If the new shadow devil skill could be said to be extremely useful in increasing the strength of a single person, then the ability to reproduce could strengthen an entire group.
As for the third ability, it didn't include a single person, but the ability to upgrade the foundation of an entire race.
Therefore, the first two abilities weren't on the same level as the third ability.
It was like a country with the third ability, which was equivalent to substantially increasing the technological level of the country.
Li Yunmu wasn't an idiot, and his attention was instantly attracted by the final ability.
[It is roughly five to seven times more powerful than the previous fifth level research ability. As for the specific extent of the increase, it can only be determined after the evolution,] the system replied without any hesitation.
"If I succeed in the third ability, will I be able to research the formula of flux binding pill?" Li Yunmu's heart began to thump fiercely.
[Yes,] the system replied with absolute certainty.
At the fifth level, the system's research and analysis abilities were extremely formidable, but it could only be considered as a side job of assisting the host.
But this time, if Li Yunmu chose to take a step further in the direction of the system's research ability, it would be tantamount to giving up on the main goal of increasing the strength of the shadows to the sixth level. Instead, the focus would be on the auxiliary ability of research.
Was it worth it?
It was worth it!
The system's reply just a moment ago represented everything.
As long as he could research the formula of flux binding pill, it would be enough to prove whether it was worth it or not.
After the evolution, the system's research ability would be increased by five to seven times, turning it from auxiliary to specialized. In any case, it would be much more formidable and comprehensive than obtaining the shadow skill or reproduction ability of the shadows.
"Then, apart from this, can you also research how to refine space elements?" Li Yunmu continued to ask.
"Under certain conditions, it should be possible." This time, the system did not give a completely confident answer.
An uncertain answer was naturally unreliable.
But because the system never exaggerated its words, Li Yunmu felt more at ease when he heard its reply.
"What do you mean by under certain conditions?" Li Yunmu continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
The system paused for a moment, as if it was repeatedly calculating, and only after a while did it reply, "Host should need to control a different dimensional space with even higher quality flux energy. According to the system's conjecture, if host has a dimensional space with even higher quality flux energy compared to this island, then you should be able to refine space elements."
But when Li Yunmu heard it, his heart began to thump.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Li Yunmu finally understood everything.
To put it bluntly, where did space elements originate from?
The answer was spatial elemental energy.
Then what kind of energy was flux energy?
Flux energy was actually a type of energy particles that drifted freely in space. Therefore, when the flux energy reached a certain degree of concentration, then as long as a method was found, it could be collected and refined into flux binding pills, which could then be used as cultivation energy for human cultivators.
But the question was, what was the difference between space elements and flux energy?
Previously, Li Yunmu had been ignorant about this difference, but at that moment, he was completely clear about it.
Frankly speaking, between space element energy and flux energy, space element was the advanced version of flux energy. It was a higher level energy.
That was why the system could extract a small portion of space elements from the opponent when he defeated them in the Virtual Dimension World. This small portion of space elements was actually the flux energy refined by the fluxer through cultivation. Because of that, there was still a little bit of refined space elements in their bodies.
But this bit of higher level space elements couldn't be used or transferred by them. They could only passively purify the flux energy in their bodies.
Hence, the reply given by the system was very likely to be correct.
Since humans could unintentionally refine a little bit of space elements through cultivation, then if they grasped the method, why wouldn't they be able to refine space elements in a dimensional space with a high density of flux energy?
In an instant, Li Yunmu's mind raced, and before long, he made a decision in his heart. He had decided to choose the third option, evolution research.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because in the future, he would be able to refine flux binding pills and space elements.
"System, I have decided. I will choose evolution research, the third option." Li Yunmu was a person who rarely changed his mind once he made up his mind. He rarely allowed others to influence him.
Since he had an answer, he didn't hesitate and issued an order to the system.
[Host, the system must remind you that although you can research the formula to refine flux binding pills, if you touch it with your current strength, it won't be beneficial to you, but rather a disaster.] The system gave a timely warning to Li Yunmu.
"Oh? Seems like you have been collecting a lot of information about this recently. Did you learn something? "Li Yunmu was slightly startled. Actually, he had also thought about this question.
But he hadn't thought about it on a deeper level, nor had he thought about it too far.
[Yes, according to the information and data I have gathered in Whale City, in the past hundred years, there have been four major powers in the Origin World who had researched the formula to produce flux binding pills. But all of them had the same ending. They didn't last for three years and were completely destroyed!]
The system cautioned him in a cautious tone.
"Hiss." Li Yunmu took a deep breath.
