The small silver-white cube floated above the totem, spinning and spitting out black cloud-like energy. It gave off a deja vu of a magic weapon.
The evolution energy spread throughout the nest, enveloping the Black Spirit Race one by one. All of a sudden, the nest was filled with black cocoons, and rustling sounds could be heard. It sounded like their shells were cracking and undergoing a second growth.
Han Xiao's fingertips flashed with Mechanical Force, and the small silver cube closed with a click. It obediently returned to his hand, and he put it back on his neck.
"All we have to do now is wait. I wonder what the Black Spirit Race will evolve into." Han Xiao nodded in his mind.
Advanced civilizations more or less had secret technology that others could not decipher. The Evolution Cube was a relic of a quasi-Universal Civilization, and the technology contained within had been lost. When it was in Sisko's hands, even the Arcane Church did not understand the principles behind it. Han Xiao had only measured the various parameters of the Evolution Cube.
The restrictions of this Universal Treasure were relatively fewer. The Evolution Cube would absorb multi-dimensional energy and dark energy to recharge itself. The way to use it on a large scale was to cover an area with the evolution energy and evolve all the creatures in the area.
This kind of evolution energy belonged to the category of Space Wonders. It was safe and harmless, surpassing all genetic drugs and genetic hormones. It was as if countless years of natural evolution had been condensed into an individual.
They didn't have to wait for long before a clear and crisp sound suddenly blended into the cacophony of rustling sounds.
Kacha!
One of the black cocoons cracked open, revealing the Black Spirit Race inside.
The Black Spirit Race's original appearance was a strange, pitch-black insect. There was fur between its shells, and its mouthparts were like small awls used to drill through rocks. They did not have eyes, only four sensory tentacles that replaced their vision. They had four muscular legs and a shovel-shaped shell tail. They looked more like wild beasts and were very ferocious.
Now, the appearance of the Black Spirit Race had changed drastically.
The ratio of the carapace to the muscles became even more harmonious, presenting a streamlined shape. It was much more pleasing to the eye. The fine hairs that grew between the gaps had all fallen off, becoming smooth and glossy. Not a single hair was left. It was much neater.
The fangs in their mouths became neat, and of the four tentacles on their heads, the top two became longer and thicker, hanging behind their heads like hair. However, the bottom two disappeared and became indigo blue eyes the size of mung beans. The sensory tentacles were organs that were formed to adapt to life underground. The Black Spirit Race had already started to adapt to the sunlight and tried to live on the surface. Originally, it would have taken many years for them to slowly evolve their eyes, but the Evolution Cube had greatly shortened this process.
The Black Spirit Race still mainly crawled, but the muscles on their hind legs had become thicker. It seemed that they could easily stand upright.
Kacha kacha —
With the Black Spirit Race being the first to complete their transformation, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. Large patches of black cocoons shattered, and the brand new Black Spirit Race looked around in confusion.
The astonishment of the Black Spirit Race was transmitted through the mental network layer by layer. In Han Xiao's ears, these inner thoughts sounded like a child's voice.
"What, what is this feeling?"
"What a clear vision. Is this what vision is like?"
"The sun is so bright …"
This was the first time they had normal vision. Countless Black Spirit Race members felt that it was novel and adapted to their new organs.
Han Xiao suddenly realized that the biggest change in the Black Spirit Race was not their appearance but their mental body. They were born with a mental connection, which meant that the Black Spirit Race had extremely high mental talent. Now that this talent had been magnified, the Black Spirit Race's brains had become more developed.
At this time, a clear voice sounded in Han Xiaoxin's mind, which made him slightly stunned. This voice was not transmitted through the Prophecy Stone's chat server but directly through mental power.
"God Black Star, we will always remember the good news you spread."
Han Xiao looked over and saw that the Germinal Tribe leader was one size larger than an ordinary Black Spirit Race member. It was rather conspicuous, and its bean-sized eyes were staring at him. The mental message just now had been sent by it.
"You can use mental power now?" Han Xiao was curious.
The Prophecy Stone was the base of the Black Spirit Race's mental network. Without this auxiliary tool, the Black Spirit Race would not be able to communicate mentally. However, the Germinal Tribe leader was able to complete the mental message without the help of the Prophecy Stone.
"I'm not sure either. I just suddenly felt that I could do it. I think I can still do this." The Germinal Tribe leader shook its head, suddenly picked up a small piece of Prophecy Stone, and swallowed it into its stomach. Then, a circle of invisible energy spread out from its head.
Fu Ding's expression changed slightly. "What a special mental power. It has the aura of the Prophecy Stone …"
The next moment, the Germinal Tribe leader's mental power formed a new mental network. It turned itself into a chat server. It had undergone some kind of positive mutation during its evolution, which greatly stimulated its mental talent. There were dozens of other mutants like it.
Han Xiao was shocked. Every Prophecy Stone was equivalent to an individual mental network server. Only the Black Spirit Race members in the same server could communicate mentally with each other. The nest's totem was the entire tribe's main server. Now, there was a mutant that could build its own server, which once again increased the mobility of the race and made it more convenient to coordinate.
This meant a lot to a race. Their racial talent had been strengthened as a whole, and they could adapt to more environments.
A race with such high potential might really be able to develop into an extremely powerful civilization in the future.
Han Xiaoxin was filled with emotions.
He had made the right choice by keeping the Black Spirit Race. Han Xiao had a feeling that this casual investment would bring him benefits beyond his imagination in the future.
After bidding farewell to the Germinal Tribe, Han Xiao did the same for the other tribes and completed their evolution.
Because the Black Spirit Race had migrated together, although the tribes had been separated for ten years, they were very close to each other. They were scattered around the Germinal Tribe, so it did not take much time.
Han Xiao had given them the opportunity to transform, and the Black Spirit Race was extremely grateful to him, this' god '. Their faith became even more firm, and they believed that they were a race that was blessed by the gods.
After Han Xiao left in the spaceship, the various tribes mobilized to carve new murals. The little person representing Han Xiao floated in the air, and countless Black Spirit Race members were worshipping him below.
This day was forever recorded in the history of the Black Spirit Race.
…
Completing the evolution of the Black Spirit Race was faster than Han Xiao had expected. He walked and stopped, looking for a star to train Heber's Energy Cultivation Technique, all the way to the Blue Star.
"Welcome home."
On the dock, Bennett looked at Han Xiao, who was walking down from the spaceship, and smiled like an old friend reuniting.
Home …
Han Xiao was in a daze for a moment before coming back to his senses. He suppressed some of his emotions and sized up Bennett in front of him.
Bennett's figure was still tall and straight, and his white hair was neatly combed.
Bennett was followed by a group of officers, looking very nervous and fearful. Facing Black Star, the protector, only Bennett could talk and laugh. The other superiors were all in awe.
It had only been a few years since Black Star's' annihilation of a country with a single word ', and these people still remembered the example of the Six Nations. Facing a galactic figure who could decide the life and death of a regime with a single word, they could not help but feel nervous.
However, Black Star's actions back then had shown results in the past few years. From the perspective of the entire civilization, there were indeed benefits to unifying the regime. It greatly reduced internal friction, and decision-making was more efficient. If they entered the galactic society with a divided regime, the current situation of the Luhan Beastmen was an example.
"You look very energetic." Han Xiao nodded and looked at the little boy beside Bennett.
Nero raised his head and looked at Han Xiao curiously.
He had seen Han Xiao's figure in textbooks countless times, and he had even memorized his deeds. This was the first time he had seen him in person.
Bennett rubbed Nero's head and smiled. "Greet him."
"Godfather." Nero's tone was timid.
"Good boy." Han Xiao smiled, bent down, and picked Nero up, placing him firmly in his arms. He then tapped Nero's forehead with his finger.
Nero was Bennett's child, and Bennett had decided to stay in Blue Star and entrusted his child to him. Naturally, he was willing to take care of his old friend's child.
Han Xiao's status was too high, and Nero was originally a little nervous. However, Han Xiao was very kind to him, so he quickly relaxed and started laughing from the teasing.
"Here's a toy for you."
Han Xiao waved his hand, and nanoparticles flew out from his clothes and quickly turned into a black and gold hovering guard that circled around Nero.
This was a high-level orange equipment, and its energy core was a stable dark energy reactor. It could be used for both offense and defense, and it had many functions.
A blue and gold spark ignited on Han Xiao's palm and entered the hovering guard. At this moment, he gave this machine a permanent buff, [Emperor's Gift], and [Machinery Fusion — Give], giving this machine the ability to grow.
"This hovering guard is a gift for you to protect yourself. You can give it a name."
Han Xiao pinched his fingers and created a nano-sized neural connection device. He then pressed it and implanted it into the back of Nero's head. There was no pain. He then added, "It can move according to your thoughts. However, this thing is very powerful, so it's best not to use it on others, especially not to use it on your father."
An orange equipment created by a Beyond Grade A Super was extremely powerful. Even without the Mechanical Force bonus, this hovering guard could easily deal with a Grade C Super. This type of machine did not have a level restriction, and to low-grade Supers, this was equivalent to a divine weapon. He would not even sell it to the players.
Nero tried to control the hovering guard, and with a thought, the hovering guard moved according to his thoughts. His eyes lit up as though he had discovered a new continent.
"Thank you, godfather!" Nero was overjoyed and hugged Han Xiao's neck.
"Go and play." Han Xiao laughed and placed Nero down. He then turned around and headed to the government building with Bennett.
Along the way, Bennett began to report the situation.
"I have issued a gathering order in the various cities, and the gathering work is almost done. I can't do anything about those who missed out."
He explained the situation of the Evolution Cube to the people of Blue Star. Those who wanted to evolve would take the initiative to gather, which would save them a lot of time.
However, there were also some who did not want to be gathered.
"Let those who missed out go. I'm not forcing everyone to evolve." Han Xiao shook his head. "By the way, I'll let you use it once later."
Bennett bitterly smiled. "I actually didn't want to use it …"
"You're different." Han Xiao waved his hands and said, "This involves the evolution of an entire civilization. If you don't personally experience it for the people, how can you be at ease?"
Bennett helplessly shook his head and did not refute.
"By the way, there's also Nero …" Han Xiao paused. "Let me bring him into the galaxy this time. I'll help him become a Super."
"He's still too young …" Bennett was stunned.
"The earlier he becomes a Super, the better. Since you want Nero to roam the universe in the future, it's best to let him get used to life in the galaxy as soon as possible.
Furthermore, with me around, what are you worried about? Do you think I'll kidnap your child? He's my godson, and I'll bring him around the universe for a few months before sending him back. "
Han Xiao smiled.
"Sigh, alright then." Bennett was a little hesitant but nodded in the end. He had chosen to stay on his mother planet, but he did not want to restrict Nero's future because of him.
At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly thought of something.
The child of an old friend definitely had to be nurtured, and he wanted to check Nero's attributes.
Turning around, he saw Nero following behind them, happily playing with his new toy.
Han Xiao secretly released a small amount of Mechanical Force, transforming the nanoparticles into thin metal needles that were hard to see with the naked eye. He remotely controlled the needles to poke Nero's butt.
"Ouch!" Nero felt a sharp pain in his butt as if something had poked him. He immediately looked around but did not discover anything.
As he had triggered one point of damage, a combat notification popped up on his interface, and Nero's attributes were displayed before his eyes.
Han Xiao glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly froze. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Nero was still an ordinary child, and his attribute panel was empty. However, there was a dazzling ability in his talent column that made Han Xiao's heart skip a beat.
Molding Talent — [Advanced Luck Glow]!
"This … this is the same level of Luck Glow as Fu Ding. This kid is an advanced main character?" Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat, and he almost wanted to rub his eyes.
Bennett's life in his previous life was completely different, and there was no such character as Nero. This was also the first time he had seen him!
Bennett had a low-grade Luck Glow, but his son had a high-grade Luck Glow? The probability was way too low. Could it be that this thing could be inherited?
At this moment, a bold guess appeared in his mind.
"Could it be … Nero's Advanced Luck Glow has something to do with me?"
Thinking about it carefully, Nero's father was the leader of the Aquamarine Federation, and his godfather was the famous Black Star. For him to be able to receive the personal grooming of a Beyond Grade A from a young age, wasn't that great luck?
Han Xiao did not expect that his family's vegetable field would grow such high-quality leeks, and he was pleasantly surprised. Even the way he looked at Nero changed.
Although Nero was only a little kid now, in Han Xiao's eyes, this kid had already become a treasure that exuded the aura of a European emperor.
If it was said that he had only decided to take care of Nero previously because of his relationship with him, now, he truly wanted to nurture this potential stock!
For such an advanced main character, his future achievements would at least be a Calamity Grade!
"What a pleasant surprise …"
Han Xiao became excited.
