The Evolution Compendium

"Ah!"

The intense pain caused Andre to groan. He clutched his severed arm, hiding under the protection of his numerous Pet Beasts, his face grim.

Only by facing this human directly could he truly feel his power. The destructive power of that Demon Halberd was terrifying; the Ghost King, newly ascended to the King level, had been killed instantly.

"How are you going to compensate me for stopping me from killing Albert?" Chu Yi snorted coldly, holding the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd. Several Blood Serpents, formed by writhing Curse Seals, surrounded him, making him look increasingly evil.

This scene horrified the remaining members of the Alien Race. He wasn't weakened; he was even stronger!

"He's just one person. Let's attack him together!" Andre sent a voice transmission to rally allies, but they all acted as mere onlookers. After all, Andre and Albert had conspired against them.

Seeing that his attempts to rally them were ineffective, he cursed their shortsightedness and began chanting, summoning the Undead Domain. This involved combining the domains of various Pet Beasts based on their characteristics, unleashing power far beyond their current capabilities.

BANG!

A cemetery materialized, filled with countless tombstones. Following Andre's summons, the tombstones shattered, and from them emerged corpses that gradually pieced themselves together into a gigantic, grotesque figure. Its aura grew increasingly oppressive.

Within the domain, the Skeleton Monarch underwent a metamorphosis. It acted as a skeletal frame, allowing these corpses, bones, and lingering grievances to attach themselves to its body. This was Andre's strongest ultimate move: concentrating Domain Power onto a single Pet Beast to unleash power surpassing its current realm.

However, before Andre could complete his technique, Chu Yi swung the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd. Countless Blood Serpents, formed from writhing Curse Seals, let out low roars. As the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd fell, a massive pillar of blood descended like divine judgment, piercing through the Skeleton Monarch's reinforced body.

Immediately, the Skeleton Monarch's bones trembled as blood-colored Curse Seals etched themselves upon it. It was completely infiltrated, becoming part of the crimson light. It was like snow on a glacier, melting under the spring sun.

The Skeleton Monarch had fallen!

"Ah!" The backlash from his Pet Beast's demise sent a sharp pain through Andre's head.

He watched as the "melted" crimson light became part of the Curse Seals, scattering into countless small Blood Serpents that swirled around Chu Yi. An astonishing aura surged from Chu Yi once more, bringing with it a wave of despair.

Fueling war with war, ending killing with killing.

I admit defeat. Andre's heart filled with humiliation. It was the first time he had been so threatened, and he harbored immense resentment.

In the end, under the pressure of Chu Human King, he transferred all the resources Albert had given him to Chu Yi, and even had to compensate Chu Yi with some of his Undead Association's rare resources.

Compared to the utter annihilation of his Pet Beasts, even their resurrection would cost a fortune. It was better to pay for his safety now.

Next, Chu Yi accepted a gigantic fortune. Among these riches was a Bone Dragon Egg Chu Yi had plundered, capable of nurturing a Holy Light Bone Dragon with King-level potential—a miraculous Pet Beast combining Divine and Undead types, possessing immense potential.

This almost caused Andre's eyes to burst into flames, though he concealed his fury well beneath his knight's helmet.

Besides this, there were numerous Undead-type Pet Beast Eggs, along with resources for their cultivation. These were worth hundreds of millions on the market—resources that were impossible to buy even with money, as they were a monopoly of the Undead Association.

After plundering Andre, Chu Yi turned his attention to Hong Yu's group. He gripped the Demon Halberd and said politely, "It would be best if you all voluntarily hand over your 'life-saving' money. Don't make things difficult for me."

What? The members of the Alien Race were stunned. Weren't these supposed to be negotiations? How did it turn into paying for our lives?

Not until Chu Yi swiftly cut down the first to resist, Long Bo. Long Bo, who could transform into a flesh tree, was hacked into countless pieces. Relying on his tenacious Life Force, he surrendered, handing over five vials of Giant Potion.

"You'll end up friendless," Long Bo suppressed his anger and said sarcastically.

Offending so many factions at once, and also rejecting their invitations... he'll have no place in the Dark World!

German smiled. He not only provided information about the Overlord Pet Beast cubs but also offered a badge from the Healing Church, saying, "Friend, the Healing Church's doors are always open to you. We await your arrival."

Chu Yi nodded, watching German leave.

This doctor is strange, Chu Yi thought. He doesn't seem to care about the Divine War game, yet my intuition tells me to be wary of him, no less than Albert.

Hong Yu laughed, a sound like silver bells. "Truly remarkable. A seemingly insignificant little fellow has turned out to be the biggest winner of this game. I refuse to believe this is solely due to the power of the Furnace of Life."

Her red dress swayed as she smiled enchantingly, but her expression changed the moment Chu Yi raised his Demon Halberd.

"You are quite ruthless." She gave a helpless smile and handed over the VIP slot she had acquired for free, her intention being to obtain his 'seed' for bloodline research.

After the prodigies from the Alien Races had left, Avril blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Chu Yi, asking, "Big Brother, are you going to rob me too?"

Her skin was fair and tender, her eyes bright and her teeth like pearls. At thirteen or fourteen years of age, her innocent, childlike face made her look easy to deceive.

"Of course... not." Chu Yi smiled and presented the Furnace of Life. A thought flickered in his mind before he spoke, "I am, after all, the Knight appointed by Miss Avril. The victory in this game naturally belongs to you, milady."

Hearing this, a slight arc touched Avril's pink lips. "Thank you for your hard work, Knight Big Brother."

After saying this, she accepted the Furnace of Life. It was enveloped in a hazy, emerald glow and pulsed slowly, emanating an immense and mighty life force.

Confirming it was genuine and that there had been no tricks like swapping it out, Avril's gaze towards Chu Yi grew even more appreciative. Her delicately curved eyelashes trembled like the wings of a butterfly resting on a flower, fluttering gracefully.

With this, Elder Sister can finally return. Avril pursed her pink lips. A card flew out, and the Furnace of Life slipped into it like a shadow.

In the next moment, the card seemed to activate a profound insignia, sending out ripples through space.

"It's over?"

"In the end, the Morgan family had won. No one had expected the standout performer in this game to be a human youth."

"Heh, so what if he's outstanding? Don't forget, he killed the Child of Gold. His fate will be grim."

"..."

Countless members of the Alien Race were moved. They had speculated who might win this game—perhaps Albert, perhaps Avril, or maybe one of the few Alien Race prodigies.

But while the outcome might have been one they considered, the process was entirely different. The victory had been dominated by a human youth. Not only had he effortlessly slain Albert, but he had also plundered a host of Alien Race prodigies, truly seizing the spotlight.

Similarly, this brought a deadly disaster upon him. The Nus Wolf King was waiting for him to appear, ready to strike first and obliterate him directly.

"This boy has really brought us a huge problem," Zhang Yi said, his feelings a mix of joy and worry. "If he sides with the Blood Race, the Federation will abandon him. The only way is for the Governor to arrive quickly and ensure Chu Yi can retreat safely."

Han Bufan shook his head. "The border front is critical, dealing with a strange incident. It will still take some time for anyone to get here."

「White Tower.」

The representatives of the various factions were silent, their gazes unanimously turning towards Prince Morgan. With the Divine War concluded, the Morgan family had emerged as the ultimate victor. Setting aside the divine boons, just recruiting this human youth was a guaranteed gain.

Prince Morgan was in a good mood. Absorbing this youth into the family, he thought, would resolve his identity issues.

Soon, Innos, looking perplexed, stood up abruptly. He flew out of the White Tower and witnessed a void tearing apart. An extravagant palace emerged, with countless Ghost Lanterns undulating like dazzling stars in the night sky. Even more astonishingly, a crescent moon was embedded atop the palace, its soft light reflecting endlessly, making the glazed tiles of the Divine Hall shine with an even purer radiance.

「Inside the palace.」

A girl in a purple dress, her icy eyes piercing through multiple layers of gauze curtains, watched a picture projected by the White Tower. On it, a graceful youth triumphed over all. This left her slightly stunned. A peculiar feeling arose within her—an inexplicable and very strange urge for intimate contact with him.

The Moon Princess has arrived!
