Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 764 Evolution Factors (2-in-1)

Fengrang Garden, a lakeside manor.

Roy soon learned what had happened at the academy.

"These fighting insects have some rather peculiar bloodlines!"

Comparing the information he had gathered, he keenly realized that the strange insects in the Insect Kingdom were unique species that had been continuously cultivated over many years by generations of wizards.

Regardless of the final traits that emerge, a fundamental characteristic is already etched into the very bones and soul, almost unshakable.

That is, the characteristic of evolution and mutation!
"In fact, even from the perspective of witchcraft, raising Gu is a high-level secret technique with extremely high difficulty."

This is because biological evolution is based on changes in genetic material, occurs slowly through mechanisms such as natural selection, and requires conditions such as changes in population and gene frequency to be met.

Raising gu requires constant consumption to evolve and mutate, which violates the basic principles of evolution, and this process is accompanied by a lot of losses.

Furthermore, biological mutations are mostly random and the vast majority are harmful; there is no such phenomenon of targeted, rapid cannibalistic evolution.

However, throughout history, the content related to Gu worms...

Numerous elements from literature and legends have been constantly mixed with the magical laws of the real world, condensing into corresponding "concepts," which in turn have evolved into the power of laws.

By mastering this power, it is truly possible to endow certain creatures with corresponding characteristics, thereby enabling them to grow rapidly.

Freya added, "This should be the biggest secret of the Vangeon race. They have completed the construction of this evolutionary bloodline, and insect masters throughout history have been constantly filling it with resources."

"Is it possible to find a loophole and exploit the rules of the divine kingdom to gain some benefits for free?"

Roy asked Freya.

"There have been so many insect masters throughout history, but I've never seen many of them get any benefits from them for free."

Besides, if there were any loopholes, wouldn't they have been plugged long ago?

"Fria said."

"That's not possible."

Roy said.

Even if someone benefits from it, they will keep quiet and make a fortune without making a fuss about it.

After that, Roy consulted the materials and learned more about the historical details of the Insect Kingdom.

The rise and fall of the Fangion people throughout history is a normal, natural process.

Overall, there don't seem to be any major problems.

However, at several particular junctures, it exhibited a bizarre and precipitous decline.

It's like...

It's as if the fruits of development were suddenly taken away by someone!
There's a saying that battle reports can be deceiving, but the front lines don't lie.

When Roy read historical materials, he completely disregarded the subjective accounts and focused only on the time, place, people, and various data.

It turned out that during the corresponding periods of decline, there were indeed one or two powerful Mushi Masters who rose to prominence.

They often commanded insect gods at the level of demigods or even true gods, sweeping away many strong opponents of the same level.

The autobiographies of legendary strongmen and great wizards are not credible, because they are likely to embellish and deceive people.

For example, a legendary mage claims that his first pot of gold came from an ancient ruin.

But in reality, it's very likely that he made his profits by selling dungeon exploration equipment as a shrewd merchant.

If I were to write an autobiography, I would say that I, Roy, have always been down-to-earth and that everything I have is the result of hard work and sweat.

The first fortune he made came from his adventures in the land of chalk.

But I won't tell anyone that I found an angel-level magic puppet.

Destroying the mage tower and reaping a large sum of benefits is an achievement that can be openly boasted about.

Later wizards were inspired by this and went to attack the mage tower, defeating each one without uttering a sound.

……

Another day.

At the lakeside manor.

Freya stood aside, watching Roy set up an array in the backyard.

The formation, spanning over ten meters in width, was constructed as three concentric rings.

With the central circle as the entry point for the array's operation, concentric circles of runes roll outwards, forming a structure similar to a double helix of a gene, and then continuously spread outwards.

This is the spiral array of life.

The double helix symbolizes the inheritance of bloodlines, and the outward-expanding ripples represent evolutionary branches, with each node corresponding to a possible mutation.

After doing all this, Roy did a quick check and then instructed Freya, "Bring out the insects I prepared."

Freya immediately brought the ghost maid and moved the things over.

Scarab larvae carefully raised in the laboratory exhibit the appearance of plump, white worms resembling maggots and grubs.

These plump, white, soft, and curved worms, each about the size of a human thumb, appear to be rich in protein and juicy.

They continuously crawled out of the disc-shaped culture box and, guided by some mysterious pheromone, densely covered the array platform.

Then, Freya scattered golden melon seeds.

This is not a literary device or metaphor, but an objective and real description of sunflower seeds made of gold.

The plump, white larvae wriggled their bodies and began to gnaw at each other with their mouthparts.

They feasted without noticing that some figures, resembling fireflies but glowing with a faint blue light, were flying through the air like ethereal ribbons of feathers.

However, outside the Life Spiral Array, the Life Alchemy Array extracts the life and soul of living beings.

However, this is not about extracting life from them, but rather about slowly injecting it into them in a way that reverses the flow.

At the same time, the activation of energy surges, further helping these insects to grow faster.

After that, they ate and drank their fill, then curled up into a C-shape and began to pupate.

Because the gold and magical energy were not ordinary substances, but were mixed with a ripening agent.

The special mucus they expel even has the properties of gold, transforming them into tiny golden eggs.

Those who don't know the details would only think it's a quail or some kind of bird egg, and that it's made of gold, not a pupa.

"When the time is right, they will secrete a special enzyme solution to dissolve and reorganize the body's tissues, just like reheating a pot of soup into a new form."

In biology, this is called metamorphosis, and similar processes occur in insects such as butterflies...

In theory, all of these can be used as raw materials for regenerative medicines to treat injuries. Combined with magical energy, they can regenerate severed limbs, heal bones, and even repair the collapse of the gene chain to a certain extent.

However, what I want now is not this power of repair and regeneration, but something more fundamental and precious hidden deep within its bloodline factors.

That is the key to the evolution and mutation of life, something that can be called an evolutionary factor!

With a sense of anticipation, Roy initiated the next step of the refining process.

So, not long after.

These larvae, while still in their pupal stage, were all extracted and refined into a concentrated liquid.

******
Roy had Freya and the ghost maids help him remove the cocoons one by one, break them open, and collect the liquid inside. Meanwhile, Lydia and Domi arrived together, each squatting beside the array, watching curiously.

Lydia even tried to lick it, but Roy stopped her in time.

Even he wasn't sure what the consequences would be if he ate this unfinished product haphazardly.

Don't let yourself become a deformed monster.

Next, he began to reconcile the situation in a way that could be described as cheating.

He took out the Golden Holy Grail, dripped the liquid of wish power into the original liquid, and then mixed it with his own dragon blood and the blood of the Osei Mud Monster he had created earlier.

Finally, there is the [Super Yeast] created using his own alchemical talent.

All the ingredients were mixed together, and a new golden egg the size of an ostrich egg was made from gold, resealed, and left to change at a certain temperature.

Just a few days later.

Freya came to report with a hint of surprise: "Lord Roy, it's a success!"
Those larvae didn't undergo further metamorphosis; instead, they became the life-giving fluid!

"So, this route is indeed feasible?"
Direct extraction from pupae...

Never mind, those aren't the point. The point is to isolate the factors that led to the formation of this species...

Give me the previous documents.

Roy perked up, realizing the key was here.

After that, with Freya's assistance, they continued to deduce, calculate, and screen.

After continuously eliminating the original bloodline factors of the scarab beetle, the pupation and liquefaction abilities common to metamorphosis are lost.

Gradually extract what you need.

Another day, in the alchemy room.

Roy held the test tube up to the magic light above.

The milky white broth appeared milky, but under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, it actually appeared a ghostly green.

Blue light, purple light, and even golden light are mixed in, refracting strange colorful rays.

"Life Essence Soup - Evolution Potion (Level 1)..."

The Life Essence Soup, containing bloodline factors with evolutionary abilities, can, with the aid of magical potions, maximize the stimulation of evolutionary mutations and induce mutations in bloodline factors.

At the same time, it can act as a solvent to dissolve and carry the power of blood, thereby achieving the transfer of power.

Activity level (mutation rate): 1.5…

“Success!

This is the magical potion that was once famous in theoretical circles, but has been rarely created by anyone throughout history.

Even if you know the recipe, it's not so easy to guarantee that you can successfully make a pure soup-type evolution potion!

In a sense, this is also a panacea.

It falls under the category of "biology," a broad-spectrum, universal potion based on the concepts of "evolution" and "mutation"—a panacea for evolution!

Bloodline wizards have always faced compatibility issues and genetic mutations when fusing and using various bloodline potions.

Some people compare life to a bad array project, or a large-scale programming project.

Various inexplicable gene fragments, containing numerous loopholes and even errors, are pieced together in a "makeshift" manner.

Over time, even the submitter himself couldn't understand it or know what it was for.

Therefore, from the perspective of the extraordinary, most natural life forms are incomplete, deformed, mutated, or strange in various ways.

They tried to change all of this, using bloodline potions or various cultivation methods to alter the underlying conditions.

The result is that people overestimate their own abilities, often making a mess of things when they were originally able to run and move.

That's the source of many deformed and mutated monsters.

However, what he is now refining is a more universal and practical evolution potion.

It can be used in conjunction with many bloodline potions, and theoretically it can play a role in carrying bloodline abilities, correcting errors, and even directly improving life level!

Just then, Roy felt a faint stinging pain between his eyebrows.

"evolution"!
The Gold-level alchemy talent, [Seed of Concept], has been included in it.

In the astrological chart, which is like a projection of the stars in the universe, a bright star appears near the constellation associated with it, alongside other powers gained from the past.

"As usual, in the laboratory, and simultaneously with Wolf World, tests are being conducted."

I had previously attempted to concoct some bloodline potions and bestow them upon the werewolves of the Wolf world.

It's time to help them undergo a second awakening, or even break through to the hero level!

If this method works, it could even combine the souls of chimeras to create true chimera-like monsters!

Roy quickly summoned Nimredo and had the precious drug tested.

However, this time, he kept the recipe for himself.

This is because it involves the results of one's own research and has little to do with Fengrang Garden.

If the park wants it, that's not impossible, but there has to be enough benefit in exchange.

In addition, the success of this potion gave Roy some new ideas about his own physique and his plan to become a god.

"Is it possible to obtain a true divine body, and then use the powerful life template of human beings as a foundation to carry its characteristics?"

Whether it's a puzzle or a container...

All sorts of metaphors actually point to the same fact.

That is, one's own strength must reach a certain level, and the life template itself must also have sufficient thickness in order to bear more genetic information and bloodline power.

This is similar to the "talent page" at the soul level.

If your alchemy talent panel also involves the physical body, you might be able to see something similar.

That's a demigod hero with a demigod template!

Thinking about it carefully, I realize that I have indeed met all the basic requirements in this regard.

Although one can improve step by step through growth, it would be extremely beneficial to reach a higher level in terms of physical ability, or even to strengthen the fragmented clone.

"So, I need a divine body or the corresponding divine power as material next!"

"Oh right, I remember they said the recruitment mission would reward a godhood fragment, but I don't know what happened."

Roy thought for a moment and decided to go ask the management office.

To everyone's surprise, the reward that seemed a sure thing turned out to have some unexpected complications.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Kirick..."

High Wizard Compettier has also developed a remarkable achievement.

That's a branch of the Bursting Bugs, a type of bug called 'Regmar' that has had its explosive power discovered!
"Now, even His Highness the High Wizard is in a dilemma, wondering to whom to distribute this fragment of divinity."

The humanoid angel at the management office told him.
