12: Chapter 12 The Future is the Universe and the Stars

How... how many?

A small nuclear bomb, over 2 million evolution points!

[Ding]

[Congratulations Host, evolution points have reached 1 million. Natural Grade Lottery has been unlocked]

[Congratulations Host, evolution points have reached 1 million. Random Lottery has been unlocked]

[Random Lottery: Each attempt consumes 1 million evolution points. No pity mechanism. Low reward probability. No limit on reward grade]

Lin Sheng was immersed in the shock of the incoming evolution points, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

He even subconsciously ignored the system notifications.

With so many evolution points, he had already thought about how to deal with that monster that had chased him from the sky to the ground.

That monster had nine bodies in total. Lin Sheng could eat one raw, boil one, use one for...

Thinking about it, "tears" flowed uncontrollably from the corners of Lin Sheng's mouth.

"System, give me 1 million for an Ordinary Evolution first."

Lin Sheng commanded the system.

After a rational analysis of the evolution points, Lin Sheng felt that Ordinary Evolution was currently the most beneficial for him.

He had also seen the two lottery options that were just unlocked.

To be honest, they were indeed very tempting.

But the price of 1 million per attempt made Lin Sheng's heart go cold.

What made him both excited and terrified was the Random Lottery.

No pity mechanism, but no grade limit for rewards.

If he accidentally spent 1 million evolution points and drew a Truth Level talent, he would hit the jackpot.

That was the thought, but Lin Sheng didn't dare to gamble like that.

Drawing a talent would be a good outcome.

But the description clearly stated the probability of winning was extremely low and there was no pity mechanism.

Lin Sheng didn't want to accidentally spend 2 million evolution points and waste those two "King Bombs."

[Ding]

[1 million evolution points consumed. Ordinary Evolution begins]

[This Evolution will last for 30 solar days of this planet. Please wait patiently, Host]

"It's going to take that long?"

Lin Sheng was slightly surprised.

But on second thought, it seemed reasonable.

After all, this was an Ordinary Evolution worth 1 million evolution points; it was only right for it to take a long time.

This time, Lin Sheng didn't evolve on a tree branch.

Because after this Evolution was complete, his physique would inevitably become very large.

On a branch, the tree he was on might be crushed halfway through the Evolution.

Lying in a thicket of dead wood, Lin Sheng began his Evolution.

...

While Lin Sheng was evolving, some strange changes were occurring in the large lake nearby.

The surface of the lake was churning constantly, like boiling water.

Upon careful observation, one could see that the "boiling" water in the lake was much thicker than the surrounding water.

If someone were at the bottom of the lake now, they would discover that the water wasn't boiling at all; instead, a steady stream of water was gushing out from a hole about ten meters in diameter at the bottom.

The schools of fish around the hole seemed to sense danger and all moved away from the area.

Some that were slower had no room to struggle before being sucked into another water-absorbing hole on the other side.

This phenomenon lasted for more than ten days, only stopping after the lake water became visibly thick.

...

As the sun rose and the moon set, 30 days passed in the blink of an eye.

A creature covered in glazed black scales with three pairs of transparent glazed bat wings on its back slowly woke up from its slumber.

"Why does it feel a bit cramped?"

This was Lin Sheng's first thought after waking up.

He looked around and found that the surrounding trees seemed to have become smaller.

"Wait, no."

Lin Sheng suddenly realized and quickly asked the system to open his Personal Panel.

[Ding]

[Since the Host is evolving in an unknown direction, the Race Panel will be replaced by other data]

[Host: Lin Sheng]

Body Length (Estimated): 21 meters

evolution points: 1,457,858

Talents:

Immortal Consciousness (Truth Level)

Devour (Concept Level)

Evolution (Concept Level)

Immaculate Body (Balance Grade) (1%): Sublimates the physical body, eliminating physical impurities.

Poison Fangs (Low Level)

Venom Spit (Low Level)

Static Electricity (Low Level)

Acidic Exoskeleton (Low Level)

Description: You have initially met the conditions for survival in space]

Looking at the information on the panel, Lin Sheng's attention was entirely focused on his body length and the newly appeared talent.

A body length of 21 meters was, to be honest, a bit beyond Lin Sheng's expectations.

Not that it was too long; on the contrary, Lin Sheng felt that after consuming so many evolution points, reaching only 21 meters—wasn't that a bit short?

However, for the sake of the newly appeared "Balance Grade" talent, he didn't pay much more attention to the body length issue.

However, the idea of going to seek revenge on that big monster was dismissed by Lin Sheng.

He was only 21 meters now; going there would just be turning from a sunflower seed into a french fry.

Looking at this newly acquired Balance Grade talent again, Lin Sheng realized that this talent actually had a progress bar.

He had only unlocked 1% of the progress.

1 million evolution points only unlocked 1%. If he wanted to unlock it all...

"Sss."

Lin Sheng didn't expect the gap in required evolution points to be so massive the higher the level.

However, from the description of the "Immaculate Body" talent, it seemed like a talent he must have in the future.

From the grade classification descriptions given by the system, Lin Sheng had already seen a clue.

His future stage would certainly not be limited to this tiny Earth.

After all, a Balance Grade talent already involved the universe, not to mention there were several levels beyond Balance Grade.

Lin Sheng felt that his future was looking bright.

But before that, he still had to find a way to obtain evolution points.

After all, if he wanted to become powerful, evolution points were the foundation.

With evolution points, he could evolve, and only by evolving could he devour other powerful creatures.

This prehistoric era had already exceeded Lin Sheng's understanding from his previous life.

If this were still the era of giant insects from his past life, where millipedes didn't exceed five meters, Lin Sheng could already dominate the Earth with his current size.

But now, Lin Sheng felt his primary goal was still survival.

God knows if there were other creatures in this world similar to that nine-bodied monster.

"Time to get out of here."

Having finished his Evolution, Lin Sheng planned to move his base.

Knowing he had an extremely terrifying neighbor overhead, and that he had previously annoyed said neighbor, staying was no longer an option.

However, before leaving, Lin Sheng planned to do one big thing.

There is an idiom called "draining the pond to catch the fish."

Although it wasn't a good practice, before leaving, Lin Sheng decided to "drain" the large lake that had sustained him for a few days.

After all, the remaining fish in the lake couldn't be wasted.
