215: Chapter 215 Racial Atavism

"Not to mention... this taste is actually quite good."

Perhaps because the ingredient was Spirit Rice, or because Ye Yang's current sense of taste was unique, this wine brewed from Spirit Rice was extremely delicious.

Ye Yang opened his beak and dipped it into the large jar containing the Spirit Rice Monkey Wine. With a sudden inhale, he swallowed all the wine into his belly.

Seeing how much his boss liked it, Monkey King Wukong's monkey face was filled with excitement, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

...

A week later, the blood orchids on the stone wall and the dragon blood fruits on the dragon blood tree were completely ripe. An alluring aura diffused from the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain, causing wild beasts within a radius of dozens of kilometers to look over uncontrollably.

But when they saw that the location emitting the alluring scent was Divine Phoenix Mountain, every one of them dismissed the wicked thoughts in their hearts.

Spiritual energy had been present in the air of Blue Star for a year now, and their intelligence was already quite high. They fully recognized the powerful strength of the King of this territory; they would no longer be lured over by a scent, as that would be simply seeking death!

"I wonder how many Supreme Aura Cells the stone wall blood orchids and dragon blood fruits will provide. Will it be enough to meet the conditions for atavism?"

Ye Yang opened his beak. To maximize the value of the blood orchids, even the stone wall they were rooted in was gradually swallowed into his belly with "crunch, crunch" sounds.

"Prompt: You have consumed the ancient spiritual plant blood orchid, gaining 1,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed the ancient spiritual plant blood orchid, gaining 1,500 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed the ancient spiritual plant blood orchid, gaining 1,300 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt..."

In a short while, the mechanical system prompts continued to ring out in his mind.

Ye Yang felt a large amount of spiritual energy rushing into his body as he ate the stone wall blood orchids. Unfortunately, his internal spiritual energy had already reached saturation when he ate the Snake Mother's flesh; this spiritual energy could only dissipate into the air.

However, what he valued was not the spiritual energy contained in the ancient spiritual plants, but the ancient factors within them.

Sure enough, when he had eaten a certain amount of stone wall blood orchids, the blood in his body rapidly boiled and surged like the rolling Yangtze River, erupting with bursts of booming sounds that echoed across the mountain peak.

Half an hour later, the dozens of square meters of stone wall blood orchids had vanished without a trace, all entering Ye Yang's stomach.

"Not bad, within the expected range..."

He looked toward the dragon blood tree. Thirty fiery-red dragon blood fruits hung high on the branches. These mature dragon blood fruits were more numerous than last time, and they were also a size larger.

A small streak of golden thunder flashed, and several dragon blood fruits fell from the high branches, landing in Ye Yang's open golden beak.

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit, gaining 15,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit, gaining 20,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit, gaining 16,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit..."

"One dragon blood fruit adds roughly 15,000 Supreme Aura Cells as a base... there's a chance!"

His eyes lit up, and soon the remaining dozens of dragon blood fruits on the dragon blood tree all entered his mouth and flowed into his belly.

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit, gaining 15,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed a dragon blood fruit, gaining 20,000 Supreme Aura Cells!"

"Prompt: You have consumed..."

"Prompt: You have fulfilled the conditions for atavism. Do you wish to undergo atavism?!"

Along with the system prompt echoing in his mind, the blood throughout Ye Yang's body boiled and surged to the extreme.

"Yes!"

Boom!

An explosive sound rang out from inside his body, and immediately after, Ye Yang's consciousness fell into darkness.

...

Consciousness Space.

"Is it time to choose a racial bloodline orb again?"

Because he had been here once before, Ye Yang was somewhat familiar with the dark environment around him.

He also noticed that the surrounding environment wasn't as dark as last time, and the visibility distance was a bit further than before.

"Perhaps it's because I've undergone racial atavism more times..."

Ye Yang didn't think too much about it and began to select his atavism orb.

A fiery-red glow appeared before his eyes, and a red light orb appeared ahead once more.

"A red racial bloodline orb... it comes without any effort!"

Without a moment's pause or hesitation, Ye Yang moved closer, and his consciousness fell into the red light orb.

During his last bloodline awakening, Ye Yang had reflected that the first racial bloodline orb he found in the consciousness space wasn't random; the creatures with the strongest racial bloodlines would always appear at the front.

Even if this was just a guess, he would still choose the red light orb.

After learning that mythical dragon creatures existed, he was even more determined to follow the "Phoenix" evolution path.

Fire and red were the symbols of the Phoenix in his impression, so the red racial bloodline orb was his primary target!

...

"Hmm?"

"Where am I?"

It was pitch black, but Ye Yang could clearly feel that this was not inside his consciousness space, because he could feel his body.

It was just that his body felt very strange now—weak, powerless, and frail... his surroundings were sticky... and there were some hard things...

"This feeling is so familiar, as if I've experienced it somewhere before..."

After an unknown amount of time, a sense of suffocation flooded his mind, causing his body to start struggling uncontrollably.

Ye Yang hadn't expected that in this bird life of his, he would actually feel suffocation again!

Out of instinct, his body moved, soon breaking through the thick liquid around him and hitting a hard layer.

A voice in his heart told him to use all his strength to break this hard thing.

His limbs were weak, so he could only use his sharp beak to desperately hammer at this hard barrier...

Once... twice... after an unknown number of attempts, just as Ye Yang was about to give up, there was a 'crack' sound, and blinding light and fresh air appeared simultaneously.

"Another Candle Bird hatchling has been born, that's wonderful!"

"Quick, tell the clansmen who are out foraging to prepare more spirit insect eggs!"
