Ye Zhongming nodded decisively.
He was unsure if the battle beast that belonged to him could accompany him to the sky through the entry ticket, such as the earth yellow pill or Yangos. If he couldn’t bring it along, his overall strength would undoubtedly decrease. However, Ye Zhongming felt that the items on him should be allowed.
So… the little white mouse that could easily slip into his pocket had a high probability of being able to ascend with him. With it, doing anything would be much more convenient.
But Mo Ye soon discovered the problem.
“It doesn’t have a magic crystal?”
Liu Zhenghong chuckled proudly.
“Indeed, without a magic crystal, strictly speaking, it doesn’t count as a mutated life form, but rather as a genetic life form.” Liu Zhenghong let the little white mouse float up, pointing at it. “Its uniqueness started from birth. Perhaps the Rat King’s son recognized its special trait and sent it to Cloud Summit. I raised it for a while and studied it, which led to my idea.”
“I first tried to merge the special life genes I brought back with it, and the results were unexpectedly good. The two merged almost perfectly. This means its evolution is no longer restricted by traditional methods but can strengthen through that special life approach.”
“The characteristics of a strong physique are also inherited. This little guy has high defense and great strength. Although it has lost other skills, in this aspect, it is a top-tier contender of its level. As for its combat power, after twenty days, it should be roughly equivalent to a six-star mutated life form.”
Ye Zhongming listened in astonishment and asked, “So what do you mean by life brain?”
Liu Zhenghong gave a mysterious smile. “Intelligence and emotions.”
The two nine-star evolvers didn’t understand much.
“Look, why could the Yama Tree stand out among so many Luo Shen Cypresses? Although the emergence of the life brain was an accident, it is also, how should I put it, the essence of high-level life.”
“Why was the Yama Tree able to have a woman’s face on it? Why does it possess such high intelligence? Why does it display various advanced emotions that mutated plants rarely exhibit? All of this is due to the life brain; it just didn’t know how to utilize it before.”
Liu Zhenghong seemed to recall his time with the Yama Tree and smiled, “I’ve studied that thing for a long time and finally discovered that it is a very strange life gel. To maintain its vitality, I’ve tried many methods. But, forget it, you wouldn’t understand. In short, the little white mouse can absorb a bit of life brain, achieving extremely high intelligence and emotions that are very similar to humans.”
Mo Ye seemed to understand to some extent, frowning as she said, “Yangos, earth yellow pill, nine treasures, and even the Rat King all possess high intelligence and rich emotions. In this regard, there’s not much difference from humans, right?”
Liu Zhenghong shook his head rapidly.
“That’s different. Their intelligence and emotional nuances were gradually enhanced through evolution, and only at their current level did they develop corresponding… brains.”
“But this little white mouse is different. Since I merged the life brain with it shortly after its birth, it has reached the peak of intelligence and emotions. What it needs is just some cognition and experience.”
At this point, Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye likely understood.
The evolution of the little white mouse is somewhat similar to that of monsters; it is an enviable method, naturally growing to enhance its strength, absorbing energy to speed up the process. And with high-level intelligence, it can proceed in the best and simplest way, achieving the strongest power at the fastest speed.
High-level emotions are an important indicator of whether a life form is a top-tier life.
Both Yangos and the earth yellow pill undoubtedly belong to this category, while the nine treasures are still slightly lacking. To put it simply, the Evil Dragon and Big Yellow do not look like it on the outside, particularly the former, which is basically like a human. But the nine treasures are not the same.
