Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 307: Evolution from Blood and Death, a Mutant Creature Favored by Fate

The world is undergoing dramatic changes.

The first surge of spiritual energy brought an unprecedented evolutionary frenzy to life on this planet.

Mountains, rivers, forests, and oceans all began to give rise to extraordinary changes.

Humans are no longer the only race standing at the top of the pyramid on this planet. Countless life forms, nourished by spiritual energy, have begun to evolve and gradually catch up with humans.

This is an evolutionary race for all things, and no one knows the outcome until it is all over.

Mutant creatures, having evolved to possess immense power, began to covet human flesh and land. Powerful mutant creatures led hordes of beasts, invading human cities.

Life forms from human imagination descended from the illusory, bringing with them laws that did not belong to this world, and came to the real world, their good and evil unclear to humanity, the creator.

The cruelty of the future seems to be already evident now; no one knows how the world will change tomorrow.

That's how it should be.

However, to everyone's surprise, the situation between humans and mutated creatures was reversed after only two spiritual energy tides.

If the mutated creatures under the first spiritual energy tide posed an unprecedented threat to humanity, then the threat posed by the mutated creatures under the second spiritual energy tide decreased dramatically.

Although it took longer for humans to deal with the mutated creatures, the number of casualties was reduced by several times.

Now, as the holders of the celestial treasures among humans become more powerful, the number of third-tier superhumans increases, and technology advances rapidly for various reasons, the gap between humans and mutated creatures has been widening without them realizing it.

Moreover, it has been stretched to a great extent.

The most powerful holders of the most precious treasures in the heavens possess the immense power to "suppress the entire world single-handedly."

If they wanted, they could wipe out all the mutated creatures right now, or reduce them to a number that humans could easily control.

However, they will not do that, and other countries do not want them to do that either.

Because mutated organisms are resources.

Their flesh and blood are rich in spiritual energy, and their taste, nutrients, and nourishment for humans far surpass those of normal food; their bones, after special treatment, can be forged into weapons that surpass steel, and even used as materials for many technologies.

Their fur, scales, and shells can be made into lightweight yet durable protective gear; their blood, glands, and hearts are materials for medicines, energy sources, and even gene enhancement technologies.

The more powerful a mutant creature is, the greater its value to humans.

They are the "fuel" for the progress of human civilization.

This alone makes it impossible for humans to carry out large-scale massacres of mutated creatures.

Moreover, and most importantly—Blue Star is not special.

The resurgence of spiritual energy is not a phenomenon unique to Earth.

The entire solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and even the entire universe are undergoing the same dramatic changes.

Humanity cannot be certain whether there are civilizations in the vast universe that came into contact with spiritual energy and evolved earlier than those on Earth.

If those civilizations already possessed technological levels far surpassing those of Earth, then how powerful would they become under the nourishment of spiritual energy?
Nobody knows.

Perhaps one day in the future, they will be able to travel countless light-years, find Earth, and wage war against humanity.

Therefore, humanity needs an "enemy".

An enemy that is powerful enough and dangerous enough, but not powerful enough to threaten the entire human civilization. Rather, it is an enemy that has the potential to catch up with humanity and pose a threat to them.

Mutant creatures are this "enemy".

Their existence keeps humanity constantly aware of the dangers, forcing them to continuously become stronger.

If we completely eliminate them, humanity might stagnate in complacency, or even fall into internal strife; at that time, once a more powerful civilization arrives, what awaits humanity may be utter annihilation.

Humans are preparing for the future, but mutated organisms are also evolving; in fact, their evolutionary speed may be faster than that of humans.

Compared to human civilization, which has a complete order, a functioning state apparatus, a rational allocation of resources, a system where the strong protect the weak, and where the flame of civilization is able to continue.

Mutant organisms have no order, no system, no morality, only the most primitive law of survival: the strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive.

Their evolution was more savage and more efficient than that of humans.

The weak are eliminated, while the strong devour the flesh and blood of the losers, plunder their spiritual power, and enhance their own strength.

For a second-tier mutated creature to advance, it must devour the flesh and blood of dozens of other mutated creatures of the same tier; for a third-tier mutated creature to rule its territory, it must defeat all competitors and climb to the top by stepping on corpses.

Their evolution was born in blood and death.

If it weren't for humanity's advanced technology, ability to efficiently utilize resources, and the existence of celestial treasures—things that shouldn't exist in reality—their overall strength would be far less than that of mutated creatures.

Even so, mutant organisms still have the advantage in some aspects.

Moreover, not all heavenly treasures are unusable by mutated creatures; there will always be some lucky ones who are favored by fate.

In the ocean, on the azure water.

A massive mutant killer whale is cruising.

Its body is twenty meters long, and its jet-black back is like a moving mountain range. Every swipe of its tail fin stirs up an undercurrent.

Suddenly, its gaze was drawn to a wooden box floating in the sea.

The mutated killer whale approached curiously and gently nudged it with its head.

"Crack." The wooden box shattered, and a strange fruit covered with spiral patterns rolled out and floated on the seawater.

The mutated killer whale looked at the fruit with some curiosity, and instinctively opened its huge mouth and swallowed the fruit.

The fruit was too small; there wasn't even time to taste it, but the next second...
"Boom!"

Centered on it, the seawater within a radius of 100 meters was suddenly swallowed up by the pitch-black domain, the light was cut off, the water flow was stagnant, and even the sound was completely erased.

A few seconds later, the darkness faded and everything returned to normal.

The mutated killer whale flicked its tail fin in confusion, seemingly unaware of its own changes, and continued to swim leisurely into the deep sea.

At the summit of the mountains, on a cliff shrouded in mist.

A group of mutated apes were busily carrying the freshest fruit, their movements respectful and devout as they piled the plumpest fruit in front of a boulder.

Atop the boulder, a black iron rod with golden clamps at both ends is stuck diagonally.

Right next to the hoop, there is a line of five characters engraved: "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (如意金箍棒).

The monkey king stood before the troop of monkeys, slowly kneeling down and bowing deeply to the iron rod; the monkeys behind him followed suit, their low whimpers echoing throughout the valley, as if they were performing some ancient ritual.

The iron rod trembled slightly, its golden light swirling, as if responding to their faith.

The Monkey King raised his head, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

It stretched out its furry paws and carefully touched the iron bar.

"Boom!!!"

A beam of golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire mountain range!
Deep within a lava cave, atop a scorching ley line.

A giant red lizard was perched on a rock, its scales like red-hot irons, and it spewed out tiny flames with every breath.

Beneath it lay a massive, orange-colored rock, and with each breath of the giant lizard, fiery energy emanating from the rock was drawn into its nasal cavity.

The monitor lizard lazily rolled over, and the stone rolled away. It used its tail to pick up the stone and held it in its arms as if it were a precious treasure.

On the barren mountain ridge, the scorching sun beats down on the dry rocks.

A mutated wild boar, as large as a small mountain, was pacing around. Its bristles, as sharp as steel needles, stood on end, and a stone with a pig-shaped totem was firmly embedded in one of its tufts of hair.

Not far away, a mutated gray wolf suddenly appeared, and the moment it was seen, it tried to run away.

A flash of electricity appeared in the mutated wild boar's cloudy eyes.

"laugh!!!"

Two golden beams shot out from its eyes, instantly piercing the mutated gray wolf's skull.

The smell of burning filled the air, but the mutated wild boar merely shook its head, the stones between its bristles shimmering slightly.

It strolled slowly past the carcass of the mutated gray wolf, continuing its search for the next feeding ground.

The number of mutated creatures that have obtained the treasures of the heavens is very small, but they are not non-existent; and without exception, these mutated creatures that have obtained the treasures of the heavens are at the pinnacle of mutated creatures.

They dwell in the deep sea, wilderness, and mountains, and have not yet shown any aggression towards human civilization; not because they are friendly to humans, but because their existing territory and prey are sufficient to meet their needs.

At least for now.

In a villa in Hangzhou.

The spatial barrier slowly dissipated, and the distorted light returned to normal.

Ye Xuan stood still. Opposite him, the Flame Emperor knelt on one knee, his Asura Armor already removed.

The outcome of the battle was obvious, but surprisingly, Emperor Yan showed no sign of defeat or dejection. Instead, he was filled with unprecedented excitement and satisfaction.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Emperor Yan laughed and stood up.

"That felt great! It really felt great!"

"Since I began conquering the galaxy, this is the first time anyone has been able to confront me head-on to this extent!"

His voice carried the catharsis of a thousand years of suppressed emotions.

For thousands of years, even the most elite legions dared not confront him head-on.

Even Lufa only used tricks and schemes to capture him, and dared not let his Ares soldiers fight him head-on.

Because they knew that in a direct confrontation, no matter how many soldiers there were, they could not defeat him.

Therefore, a pure clash of strength like today, a brutal, hand-to-hand combat, is the kind of battle he has been dreaming of but has yet to achieve.

"In Ares, they gave me the nickname 'Galactic Warlord,' but the funny thing is, this title was never earned through direct combat."

"Either avoid war or set up numerous traps."

"Although I am dissatisfied with this, I understand their actions."

"Because they have no other choice but to do this if they want to deal with me."
