The Path of Evolution

"The end of physics is mathematics, the end of mathematics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology." In a certain parallel dimension of 2012, the predicted doomsday arrived, and three consecutive days of darkness enveloped the whole world. Afterward, three thousand colorful pillars of light mysteriously appeared in major human gathering places around the globe. After the cataclysm, all humans, animals, and plants embarked on a path of evolution. In this world, humans were evolving, animals were evolving, and plants were also evolving. The humans standing at the top of the evolutionary pyramid were called gods. Animals and plants that reached the pinnacle of evolution were called monsters. After being hunted, Zhao Hao, the captain of the university basketball team, stepped into the colorful pillar of light and transmigrated into a brand-new world. With his activated attribute panel, he mysteriously gained the ability of inner vision and the power to fuse randomly dropped combat skills. From then on, he began to fight monsters, level up, and constantly evolve in this world. Welcome to the world of evolution, weak creatures. Now begin your journey of evolution!

Combat Power Skyrocketing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Under the night sky, the sparkling bonfire beside the mountain spring dispelled the despairing darkness.

The alluring fragrance of meat drifted far along with the blowing night wind.

"Hah, could I be destined to become the god of cooking?"

Zhao Hao sat by the campfire and brushed away the hair on his forehead.

It was his first time barbecuing, but the result was surprisingly good.

The roasted hind leg of the giant silver wolf turned out amazing.

Of course, one of the biggest reasons as to why it tasted so good to him was that he had not eaten cooked meat for a number of days.

Now that he finally got to taste meat once again, it was as if he had found his first love.

But that was not all. The beasts in the World of Evolution were especially delicious.

In this pure, natural, and unpolluted world, the meat quality of wild beasts was incomparable to that of domesticated animals on Earth.

As he chewed on the delicious wolf meat, Zhao Hao could not help but think of an anime that he had once followed quite faithfully—Toriko.

After eating half of the wolf's leg, Zhao Hao triggered a supernatural event.

"Intermediate primeval creature flesh consumed. Obtained 2 primeval geno points…"

Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard the prompt.

He finally understood why Big Black wanted to eat the essence of those plants so much.

It turned out that eating evolutionary creatures could also increase one's geno points!

"Getting two geno points at once. Is this what's special about intermediate primeval creatures?"

Zhao Hao immediately caught this detail. The crystals he had refined in the past were all low-level ones.

According to his deduction, primeval creatures could be divided into three stages: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

That giant wolf was an intermediate primitive creature. No wonder its combat strength was so shocking.

If its hind legs had not been seriously injured, Zhao Hao and Big Black might not have been able to defeat it.

"If I eat the entire wolf, how many geno points can I gain?"

Zhao Hao had this thought, but his stomach was already about to burst just from eating the wolf's leg. He really could not eat anymore.

After resting for a while, he stood up to practice the Berserker Blade Technique.

In the process of practicing, not only did he not feel any discomfort from exercising after just having a full meal, but the exercise seemingly even accelerated his body's digestion.

Zhao Hao had a strange feeling that using the Berserker Blade Technique consumed a lot of blood essence.

The giant silver wolf meat that he ate happened to be a great tonic that increased his blood essence.

Relying on the blood essence replenished by the wolf meat, his blade technique became increasingly proficient and domineering.

After practicing the Berserker Blade Technique three times, Zhao Hao actually felt hungry.

This did not make sense to him, or at least it did not feel right. He had just eaten his fill half an hour ago.

Regardless, Zhao Hao was not a person who had studied science in depth. He chose not to think about it too much and ate the remaining half of the wolf's leg. While the wolf meat that was still warm did not increase his primeval geno points, it replenished his blood essence.

After eating his fill again, Zhao Hao felt his entire body filled with energy. He felt like doing something to expend all the extra energy.

He ignored the scientific teachings that said that it was not advisable to exercise vigorously right after meals and embarked on his own path based on his instincts.

Blade lights flickered beside the bonfire as he wielded his machete.

After practicing the technique for another three rounds, the surging blood essence in Zhao Hao's body finally calmed down. This time, he no longer felt hungry.

[Evolver: Zhao Hao.]

[Primeval Geno Points: 22!]

[Combat Power: 22]

[Lifespan: 72!]

[Combat Skill: Berserker Blade Technique, E-grade combat skill. Current evolution energy: 12/100]

[Evolution Technique: E-grade]

Zhao Hao was overjoyed as he checked his current status.

The Berserker Blade Technique, which originally had 0/100 evolution energy, now had 12 points!

Zhao Hao remembered clearly that he had practiced the saber technique three times in the afternoon, but his evolution energy did not increase at all.

After eating wolf meat at night, he practiced his saber technique six times, and his energy increased by 12 points.

According to this calculation, eating wolf meat to practice the Berserker Blade Technique would increase his evolution energy by 2 points with every bout of practice.

"No wonder I felt that my blade technique became much sharper."

Zhao Hao suddenly realized something when he recalled the process of practicing his saber art while he was full of blood and energy.

"It looks like there's a pattern. After eating the intermediate primeval flesh, I can increase my evolution energy by 2 points with the help of the blood essence. According to this calculation, after eating the beginner primeval flesh, I should be able to gain 1 evolution energy point every time I practice. If it were advanced primeval flesh, it's very likely that my evolution energy would increase 3 points with every round of practice... The end of physics is indeed mathematics. My mathematics is simply too awesome!"

Zhao Hao stood in the night wind, his expression indescribably smug.

Looking at the raw wolf meat hanging on the tree branch, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

On Earth, fresh meat that was placed outside would attract flies and would quickly rot. But in the World of Evolution, there were no flies at all. The piece of fresh wolf meat that had been placed for half a day did not show any signs of deterioration or pungency.

"This world is truly amazing. If I can teleport back, I'll bring Weiwei over to have some barbecued meat every day."

Zhao Hao set a small goal. His eyes softened, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, he gripped his machete tightly and looked to the left like a falcon.

It was unknown whether it was the aroma of the roasted meat or the bonfire that attracted them, but the two giant tigers had come over.

The tigers were twice the size of the tigers that Zhao Hao had seen in the zoo back on Earth.

Right now, Big Black was in a hibernation-like state and could not participate in the battle. Zhao Hao could only rely on himself. He was under a lot of pressure. He had personally experienced the combat strength of that giant wolf. He could thus not help but worry about how strong these two tigers might be.

"I'll have to fight them!"

Zhao Hao could not bring himself to abandon Big Black and run away, so he took the initiative to attack. He charged forward valiantly with his machete.

In this situation, retreating meant death. There was still a chance of survival if he fought.

A human-like disdain flashed across the eyes of the two giant tigers. It was obvious that they did not take this human with a combat power of less than 30 seriously.

A blade light lit up the night sky.

The blade light contained endless violent fighting spirit, making the two tigers suddenly feel fear.

Fwoosh!

He swung his machete powerfully and a tiger's head fell to the ground and rolled a few meters away.

The headless tiger could not be any more dead. The other tiger was utterly frightened by this and began whimpering in fear.

Even Zhao Hao himself was shocked. The power of the Berserker Blade Technique was actually so terrifying?

That slash not only perfectly displayed the sharpness of the machete he had, but also the violence contained within the technique he just performed. The force derived from the combat skill wrapped around the blade, forming a fatal blade light that brought with it a shocking lethality.

Zhao Hao suddenly thought of testing it out once again. He slashed at the hard forehead of the other tiger.

Fwish!

A sound similar to a sharp knife cutting through tofu could faintly be heard. The tiger's hard head was cleanly cut open.

The second giant tiger did not even have the chance to make another sound before it was forced to lay on the ground and die on the spot.

"F*ck, has my combat power gone off the charts?"

Zhao Hao looked at the machete in his hand in disbelief. He had fallen in love with his new level of strength and the power of the combat skill he had just obtained.

The only unfortunate thing was that after killing the two tigers, two more chinks appeared on the blade of the M1942 machete. In the long run, after killing a few more ferocious beasts, this machete would probably become useless.

"Nothing dropped. So it seems that killing wild beasts does not necessarily drop combat skills every time?"

Zhao Hao became more experienced through this battle.

In a sense, he could be considered a pioneer of mankind's evolution in the World of Evolution. His experience was very valuable.

Zhao Hao dug out two crystals from the two tigers and put them into a plastic box. Back when he was refining crystals, Big Black had been keeping watch for him. Now that Big Black was digesting a crystal, it was his turn to watch over Big Black.
