The Evolution Compendium

[Foolish Disciple]: Ignorant beings, manipulating fate. Selling price: 120, Dice of Destiny *1.

[Divine Hand (2/5)]: Enhance Divinity, twist rules, reverse future. Selling price: 400, Miracle Potion *1.

...

Chu Yi stared for a while. There were about seventy evolution plans, and more than ten of them were superior to the Divine Hand. Behind each selling price, a corresponding feast or rare material had to be crafted, details of which could be checked with a click. It was just like completing a job change quest.

And those plans that were a cut above, the Deceit Beasts they produced seemed strong, but they merely exhausted their potential. Their evolutionary paths became fixed, and subsequent progression to the final Divine Demon Domain was not guaranteed.

To be on the safe side, Chu Yi chose the Divine Hand, which had been his intention from the beginning.

He licked the corner of his mouth. Taking the War God's Hand as the core and substituting other materials with Divinity, he crafted a qualityless Miracle Potion and successfully exchanged it for the second stage of the Divine Hand.

Suddenly, the entire Divine Hall filled with white light, and countless rustling sounds spread like a tide. He felt a warmth emanate from his arm, followed by a cool sensation that quickly flowed through his limbs and throughout his body. An unprecedented force was tempering his physique, evolving it toward a more perfect form.

THUMP! THUMP!

Blood flowed wildly, veins bulged. An entire arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist, violently expelling waste blood and impurities, revealing a crystal-clear, snow-bright arm, as if sculpted from jade.

[Deceit Beast]: Divine Hand II

[Rank]: High War General

[Level]: 42

[Attribute]: Fate

[Weakness]: None

[Skills]: Mimicry, String of Destiny, Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun

[Special Skill]: Create Something from Nothing

[Status]: Indifferent

[Evolution Points]: 7,240

What delighted Chu Yi was that his Divine Power limit leaped to 30/30 and was restored to its peak! A new skill, [Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun], had been added. And in the special skill section, the former [Finding the Cause for the Result] had been replaced with [Create Something from Nothing]?

[Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun]: Replace causality, steal the target's experience, skills, and achievements, and graft them onto another target.

This skill... Chu Yi was stunned, somewhat unable to comprehend. He roughly understood its literal meaning: it could steal the skills of a Pet Beast and transfer them to another Pet Beast, but the target was by no means limited to Pet Beasts. Even... transfer them to the ghosts of the Chaotic Burial Mound!

Chu Yi's eyes lit up. If used well, it could enhance the overall combat power of the Undead army! Fate-related skills are truly powerful!

He looked again at the special skill.

[Create Something from Nothing]: Conjure out of thin air, twist order, transform the illusory into reality.

He carefully contemplated this special skill of the Divine Hand, gaining some insight, his gaze burning. This is a Divine Technique where words come true, possessing an inexplicably marvelous quality. This is much stronger than Finding the Cause for the Result. The former merely established a result and then required accumulating causal factors. In contrast, the latter directly provided a result, allowing you to fabricate the factors as you please, as long as it was logically consistent and theoretically achievable.

BOOM—

At that moment, after the giant hand dissipated, the blood pool it left behind began to boil, and suddenly, a huge crack appeared. This crack was crooked, emitting endless fury and anger. The chaotic airflow almost buried the entire ruins of the Divine Hall.

"Sure enough, the Titan Race isn't so easy to deal with," Chu Yi muttered, squinting. Exiled to this void, yet still able to open an extra-dimensional channel from the mineshaft—the opponent obviously possesses some special power. Even game bosses have multiple transformation phases. This must be the second phase—perfectly reasonable.

"Ants... Destruction... Death."

From the crack, a chaotic roar suddenly erupted. Rows of sharp, cold teeth appeared, biting a giant fish covered in Runes. This was a Pet Beast that roamed the void, its body extending beyond a thousand feet, at least Dawn Star level, yet it had ultimately become food for this crack creature.

In an instant, the crack, still expanding, revealed itself to be a bloodthirsty maw. The sharp teeth ground against the fish flesh, and streams of purple blood oozed out, emitting a faint Void Power.

Chu Yi once again delved into his mind, retrieved information, and instantly understood. The library of the Starfire Sequence recorded that the outer void also contained special Pet Beasts, including void-based, Abyssal, and evil spirit types. The main body of the Titan Race's Hand was sealed. It had stored a part of its will in a void-based Pet Beast, using Void Power to permeate the seal. This influence spread to the mineshaft, where it sacrificed living beings, eroding the seal step by step, striving to break free sooner.

As a result, it had been scammed by Chu Yi into its own lair, its home plundered. Who wouldn't lose their cool over that? By rights, the Titan Race's Hand had its defenses maxed out. Too bad for it; Chu Yi was a cheater who simply extracted it as material!

RUMBLE...

The crack began to compress and collapse, transforming into a colossal, four-armed giant, hundreds of feet in height, blazing with scorching purple flames—the epitome of intense Void Power! This reminded Chu Yi of Xing Mei, the Succubus Princess, and her Pet Beast, the Void Monarch. Perhaps the will's influence caused this will-harboring Pet Beast to develop in the combat form favored by the Titan Race.

The Void Giant slowly raised a fist. The compressed void collapsed, condensing into a bright golden light on its fist. It was using a killer move right from the start!

Martial Arts, Boundary-Breaking Fist!

Huh? How does the next move go again?

The Void Giant was stunned for a moment. The golden light on its fist dimmed. Regarding the Boundary-Breaking Fist, which it had practiced since childhood, it had actually forgotten a key move... No, I've forgotten three moves... That's not right either, it's ten moves... What in the world is Boundary-Breaking Fist? Did I even learn this?

Gradually, its eyes went dull as it pondered deeply, as if something precious had been lost...

Meanwhile, Chu Yi's face turned pale. The Divine Hand ignited with a brilliant white light as he activated [Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun] to pilfer the target's skills.

However, just receiving a portion of the Boundary-Breaking Fist's information made his head feel heavy, as countless chaotic pieces of information flooded his mind. Scenes flashed through his mind like fleeting glimpses:

Fighting a three-headed giant wolf on the grasslands, using Boundary-Breaking Fist for the first time to successively smash its three heads...

Descending into the Lake of Death, battling the Nile Sea Monster, using the thirteenth form of Boundary-Breaking Fist to blast the monster's neck...

Bravely climbing the peaks to reach Celestial Mountain, using the final move of Boundary-Breaking Fist to unleash a hundredfold attack power, sending out a shockwave that blew up the nine-headed blood eagle's lair...

In addition to the moves of Boundary-Breaking Fist, this also included the combat experience of the opponent painstakingly honing this Martial Art!

Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun replaced causality. It directly substituted Chu Yi himself for the young War God who had originally honed the Martial Art, allowing Chu Yi to fully absorb all that combat experience!

PHEW...

But this War God had lived for unknown millennia. The memories were so numerous they had clearly become a burden. Chu Yi immediately interrupted the flow of images, sealed off this portion of experience, and turned to look at the Void Giant with a teasing expression.

Your Martial Arts are outstanding. But in the next second, they'll be mine!
