Evolution, the Eye of Blood

Inside the top floor of the skyscraper, the area was completely blanketed in darkness.

In the darkness, Liu Wen's body exuded black mist. He felt a rising heat within himself—a heat that originated from a spiritual level.

His body turned ash-white, expanding into a three-meter-tall form.

Dense cracks webbed across his skin as his six crimson eyes suddenly flared.

His body completely exploded, and a massive amount of ash-white flesh instantly ballooned to four or five meters in size.

Fortunately, he had remodeled this top-floor space beforehand; otherwise, the sheer volume of flesh would have burst through the ceiling and walls.

The flesh continued to expand, with ash-white tentacles sprouting from the mass.

Upon the writhing flesh, crimson eyes popped open, this time tinged with a dark red hue.

Within his spiritual world, he looked up. At some point, a ray of light had appeared above. 'What is this?!'

Shock washed over his face. He had evolved twice before, but a light had never appeared during those times.

Looking at the light, Liu Wen felt as if his very spirit was about to sublimate. If his mind could completely connect with that white light, he felt he would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

Unfortunately, the white light vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

His spiritual space reverted to red. Liu Wen stood there with a look of disappointment. “So close. No, maybe I will be able to touch that white light during my next evolution!”

This was an instinct born of evolution.

In the physical world, the flesh had already packed the top floor. Countless tentacles and eyes squirmed within the mass.

A faint spiritual pollution radiated around the flesh. The mass was already developing in an unspeakable, incomprehensible direction.

A bizarre sound echoed from the flesh. The entire mass rapidly contracted, and a three-meter-tall ash-white figure appeared in its place.

In addition to his normal pair of hands, two more pairs of ash-white arms protruded from his back, and a massive ash-white tentacle grew from the top of his head.

The tentacle naturally draped down a meter behind him. As his six crimson eyes swept over the surrounding space, everything underwent subtle changes under the scan of his spiritual power.

The floor tiles began to age, stained by a trace of his spiritual pollution. If an ordinary person were to accidentally touch them, they would undergo unpredictable mutations.

“Hahaha! Hahahahaha!” Liu Wen suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly. The sensation of each evolution was simply too intoxicating.

He was a pioneer walking at the absolute forefront of this era. No matter what happened in the future, his name would undoubtedly be etched into history.

More importantly, this evolution had brought changes to his abilities.

Night Slave: The maximum number of ordinary Night Slaves has increased to three thousand. Among these three thousand, three hundred Elite Night Slaves can be born! (Elite Night Slaves: A 50% chance to become a Strength-type Night Slave, and a 50% chance to become a Spiritual-type Night Slave!)

Natural Spiritual Domain: You will unlock more combinations of natural elements!

Spiritual Pollution: When in your true form, you will constantly radiate pollution to your surroundings. Any living being you look at will undergo mutation!

Eye of Blood: Consuming a baseline of spiritual power from one million happy people, you can project your spiritual power to a satellite, which will then refract it over its coverage area! (Living beings within the satellite's refraction range will unknowingly feed their spiritual power back to you!)

All of his abilities had been enhanced. His six eyes narrowed, particularly when he focused on the Eye of Blood.

For this evolution, he had consumed nearly five hundred thousand human "materials." To achieve this, he had directly ransacked a small city, simply pinning the blame on Specters.

Additionally, out of the two thousand fingers traded from the Specter faction in Fengcheng during this period, he had consumed fifteen hundred himself.

These fingers had compensated for some of his physical weakness.

“However, finding one million happy people is a difficult challenge. To achieve this, I must use my spiritual power to make them believe they are happy... Forget it, I should handle the issues outside first.” Looking at the prerequisite, Liu Wen shook his head. Manipulating one million people was a massive undertaking.

His body reverted to his middle-aged human form, and a Zhongshan suit flew from the corner, dressing him automatically.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Liu Zhian and the other two were notified by a Night Slave to head uppercase.

Before long, the elevator chime rang. The doors slid open, the darkness dissipated, and the lights flared to life.

The three of them looked at Liu Wen, whose presence exerted a far greater pressure than before, and smiles broke across their faces.

Liu Zhian smiled. “Congratulations, Elder, on taking a massive step forward!”

Liu Qi added, “Elder, when are we going to let the world know of the Liu family's strength? Right now, any random nobody is coming out to establish their own faction. The Liu family cannot lag behind!”

Hands clasped behind his back, a faint aura of invincibility emerged in Liu Wen's expression. “What is there to dispute with some newcomers? The world is vast. Our Liu family only occupies a single city right now—that is still far too little.”

Having remained quiet for over two months, he decided to expand their territory and intimidate the Special Bureau before initiating his Eye of Blood plan.

Seeing Liu Wen's attitude, Liu Zhian's smile faded as he said, “Elder, during your evolution, the government made a breakthrough with the Ghoul Serum...”

He detailed the specifics of the Ghoul Serum to Liu Wen, who listened quietly.

After a moment, Liu Wen looked at Liu Zhian. “This Ghoul Serum can be used on Night Slaves. If ordinary humans whose physical attributes have been enhanced three to four times are converted into Night Slaves, a single Night Slave might be able to match or even kill an Earth Priest from the Church of the Earth Mother!”

As for the Specters outside, it wasn't that he looked down on them, but he felt the newly born Specters started out far too weak. The truly powerful monsters were gathered within the Church of the Earth Mother.

That was the real gathering place for monsters.

“In that case, I plan to go all out to intercept it. When that happens, our conflict with the government will be out in the open,” Liu Zhian proposed upon hearing Liu Wen's thoughts.

Liu Wen nodded. “Leave this matter to yourselves. No matter how strong the Special Bureau is, they are merely a new generation of supernatural beings. You and Ah Qi were born even earlier than they were. Surely you won't lose to them.”

“Understood. I will arrange it immediately!” Liu Zhian nodded.

He turned and left with Liu Qi and Cao Liang.

Aside from these two, he had over a dozen other supernatural beings under his command. He had nurtured these guys for so long; it was time for them to earn their keep.

Once the three left, Liu Wen shifted his mind, and the humans who had had their spiritual energy drained and were stored away were wheeled out by the Night Slaves.

He was going to start creating Night Slaves.
