110: Chapter 110 Regional Races

Second Place.

[Tyrant Elephant Race]

[Man Qi]

Founder of the Burning War-Blood Heaven System.

Combat Power: 24,657.

Race Description Expanded:

[Humanoid behemoths, highly intelligent.

Adult height is fifteen to thirty meters. Muscles are knotted like compressed mountain ranges, skin is dark copper-red, and the body surface is covered in black patterns. Two rows of bony spikes grow on their backs, and a pair of crescent-shaped giant horns grow on their heads.

Fangs are exposed. Physical Body density is hundreds of times that of ordinary carbon-based life.]

A completely different evolutionary direction from Cang.

The Tianzhi Race moved toward Mental Power, discarding the Physical Body to the point of being as light as nothing.

The Tyrant Elephant Race, on the other hand, tempered their Physical Body to the absolute limit of carbon-based life.

An adult height of fifteen to thirty meters and a Physical Body density hundreds of times that of ordinary carbon-based life meant that their bone strength, muscle contractile force, and impact resistance were all at an incredible magnitude.

They did not need Mental Perception to replace their five senses; they had strengthened their five senses to a degree sufficient to cope with everything.

Highly intelligent.

These words were crucial: behemoths with high intelligence.

One could imagine their way of fighting.

Their bodies and strength were enough to crush everything.

But to rank second in the region, they could not have achieved it through the Physical Body alone.

Their System, "Burning War-Blood Heaven," must have fused the Physical Body and some kind of energy circulation to the absolute limit.

Third Place.

[Yaojing Race]

[He Hengyu]

Founder of the Crystallized Psionic System.

Combat Power: 19,674.

[Humanoid crystalline silicon-based life. Height is two to two point five meters.

Physical Body is composed of high-density energy crystals.

Shining golden patterns flow across the body surface, with a core crystal nucleus embedded in the chest. Hair consists of fine fragments of light crystals.

Limbs can deform at will, condensing into weapon forms such as swords and shields.]

Chen Mo's brow twitched slightly.

Silicon-based life.

This was the first time Chen Mo had seen a clear record of a non-carbon-based high-order life form in the Spirit Energy Universe.

The Spirit Energy Universe listed five major categories: Physical Body, Mental Power, Energy, Technology, and Rules.

But the material basis of the races themselves was not limited.

Carbon-based life could give birth to civilizations, and so could silicon-based life.

The core crystal nucleus embedded in the chest was likely their core organ, similar to a combination of a human heart and brain, serving as both an energy center and a carrier of consciousness.

The ability of their limbs to deform at will meant they had no fixed skeletal System, and the form of their Physical Body was completely driven by consciousness reconstructing the crystals.

A race that highly integrated the Physical Body, energy, and Mental Power.

They did not have the extreme intellectual inclination of the Tianzhi Race, nor did they have the extreme Physical Body inclination of the Tyrant Elephant Race.

They had found a balance between the two and fixed it in the form of crystals.

Fourth Place.

[Anmi Race]

[Ying Shi]

Founder of the Shadow Walk System.

Combat Power: 16,357.

There was no further physiological description.

Just like the other races, there was only the briefest introduction of characteristics.

But from the name of the race and the System, it could be inferred that "Shadow Walk" was very likely a System biased toward concealment, stealth, and assassination.

To rank fourth with a combat power of over 16,000, his System would definitely not be as simple as mere concealment.

Fifth Place.

[Jianmu Race]

[Qing Zhu]

Founder of the Spiritual Qi Symbiosis System.

Combat Power: 15,736.

"Jianmu," in Xia Kingdom mythology, was a divine tree connecting heaven and earth.

With this race named after "Jianmu" and their System being "Spiritual Qi Symbiosis," their evolutionary direction should be related to plants.

It should be a System that fused plant characteristics with the needs of intelligent life.

Deducing from the naming, their civilization form itself might be closer to the social structure of plants.

Symbiotic, networked, and decentralized.

There were also four others: the Fenghuang Race, the Yanyue Race, the Kaite Race, and the Minghai Race.

Currently, there were nine people on the list, plus himself, making ten.

Chen Mo swept his gaze across all the rankings and found a commonality.

Nine races, including humans, the Tianzhi Race, the Tyrant Elephant Race, the Anmi Race, and the Jianmu Race, were all carbon-based.

Silicon-based life—the Yaojing Race—was the only one.

There were no energy life forms, pure mental bodies, plasma life, or gravitational vortex consciousnesses—none of the exotic life forms repeatedly envisioned in human science fiction works.

In theory, the area covered by Spiritual Qi should have given birth to all kinds of existential forms.

But they did not appear on the list.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, and a speculation surfaced.

Energy life forms might exist, but they had not yet entered the rankings.

Perhaps their gestation cycle was longer, or perhaps the concentration of Spiritual Qi was not yet sufficient to support their stable existence.

It had been less than two months since the initial hundredfold concentration; for high-level energy structures capable of birthing consciousness, this amount of time was perhaps too short.

It was also possible that energy life was simply not suited for the competition of being a "System founder."

Their ways of perception and evolutionary paths might be completely different from material life.

Or perhaps energy life existed in areas with higher concentrations of Spiritual Qi.

This speculation could only be verified in the future.

Chen Mo's gaze swept over the descriptions of each race one by one.

Then, he did something he rarely did: he compared himself with these races in his consciousness.

The human body had no advantage whatsoever in front of these races.

The weight of a single finger of the Tyrant Elephant Race might exceed that of an adult human.

The Physical Body of the Yaojing Race was a weapon in itself.

The crystal nucleus of the Tianzhi Race could process an amount of mental information far exceeding that of the human brain.

The Anmi Race were natural hunters.

The Jianmu Race could coexist symbiotically with the entire ecological network.

What did humans have?

Or rather, it could be said that humans had nothing.

No natural high-density bones, no mental crystal nucleus, no deformable limbs, no protective body surface layer, no thousands of years of evolutionary accumulation, and not a single Innate talent that surpassed other races on a physical or mental level.

The human starting point—physical weakness, scattered intelligence, and societal internal friction.

They had absolutely no competitiveness in front of these races.

Yet, it was precisely such a race that ranked sixth among all species in this region.

It was all because of Chen Mo's existence.

A single human had pushed the human body from a mere flesh-and-blood body to a fully controlled Inner World.

From breaking through the Physical Body to Source Power, from actively absorbing Spiritual Qi to actively founding a System, from having nothing to a combat power of 11,327, creating a Source Power System from scratch.

This was the common starting line for all races within the entire hundred thousand light-years.

Not talent that determined the ranking, but the strength of the System founder itself.

And the human race, under his support, was officially recorded by the Spirit Energy Universe as the sixth-ranked race in the region.

In Chen Mo's eyes, a layer of pale golden light lit up, a rare sight, and his heart surged with hot blood.

Because there were still five people ahead of him to catch up with.

"Five more left."

He spoke calmly.

At the same moment.

In a certain Star Domain ten million light-years away.
