The Upper Limit of Species Evolution on Ruolan Star

The Shahai Laboratory, inside the materials storage ice room.

Jie Yangwen, the head of the Laboratory, hid himself in the gap between two rows of sample racks.

To ensure that the experimental materials do not deteriorate, the temperature of the ice storage is maintained below -20 degrees Celsius year-round.

Spending a long time in this low-temperature environment has little effect on Jie Yangwen, an awakened being in the Second Realm of the Earth Realm.

But he was still trembling in the corner.

He's not cold, he's afraid.

Isn't it ironic?

An executioner who didn't hesitate to experiment on all sorts of living beings, a researcher who was used to death.

In the end, what we fear most is death.

He listened intently, and the noisy sounds outside the icehouse had completely dissipated.

Only a cold silence remained.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The sound of his heartbeat was particularly loud at this moment, making Jie Yangwen feel inexplicably irritable and panicked.

He started to have wild thoughts.

Why is there no sound outside?

What about the other researchers?

Has reinforcement arrived?

That intruder... did he leave?

Hiding in the pitch-black ice storage meant he was destined to never know the answers to the first two questions and could only wait passively.

He will know the answers to the last two questions soon.

Jie Yangwen's gaze darted anxiously around in the darkness, constantly shifting.

My heart was beating faster and faster, as if it were about to burst out of my chest.

Just as his nerves were about to reach their limit, suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly turned around.

His eyes met a pair of scarlet eyes.

A hoarse, breathy sound came from Jie Yangwen's throat, as if frozen by fear and stuck in his throat.

Even faster than the terrified screams came the sudden, piercing Rinkaku Scorpion Tail.

The scorpion's tail, with its sharp stinger, circled around and pierced the back of Jie Yangwen's neck through the gap between the materials.

"Pfft!"

The tail needle pierced through flesh and neck, and [Bone-Deep Rot] instantly rushed into the enemy's body.

Jie Yangwen could only feel himself slowly walking towards death, but he was completely powerless to resist.

His eyes, which were gradually becoming blurry, were filled with an almost overflowing fear and despair.

Shisui calmly watched his prey die.

Then, his brain was completely excised before it completely decomposed.

As for the remaining flesh, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Shisui refined and compressed it into Flesh Crystals.

Having obtained the person in charge's brain, Shisui didn't delay. He immediately took out the [Spirit Dream Recall] and began "soul searching."

Consciousness sinks into the other person's memories.

Skipping over a host of miscellaneous memories, such as infidelity, workplace bullying, and the appropriation of others' achievements.

Before long, Shisui successfully found important information related to the experiment from the vast sea of memories.

Allow the Eye of Madness to fuse successfully with the Undying Cells.

This is the core research currently underway at the Sea of Sand Experiment.

Only by achieving a perfect combination of the two can the transplantation of the Eye of Madness be possible.

This transplantation is the core topic of the next stage of the Shahai Laboratory.

They transplanted the Eye of Madness onto the Heaven-Controlling Realm of their Demon Race.

This is the ultimate goal of the entire experiment.

It is also one of many attempts by the Demon Race to break through the bottleneck and gain greater power in the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

It can be said that the initial purpose of establishing the Shahai Laboratory was for the transplantation experiment of the Eye of Madness.

However, despite years of effort, considerable progress has been made.

However, only one experimental subject was successfully transplanted with the Eye of Madness, survived the surgery, and was able to control it.

Moreover, the combination of the Eye of Madness and Undying Cells has never been successfully implemented before.

These two biological tissues, both in terms of their inherent power and their rarity, are at the top of the food chain.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain.

The conflicts and contradictions between them are irreconcilable and undeniable.

Even so, faced with such a difficult situation, the Shahai Laboratory could not give up easily.

After all, these experimental materials are extremely precious and rare, and giving up would mean all previous efforts were wasted.

Moreover, their immediate supervisor was exceptionally persistent about this experiment, determined not to give up until the goal was achieved.

What can we do?

Even if it's for my own life, I have to keep researching.

The memory is still playing, with numerous experimental processes flashing by.

The test subjects struggled and died as they were torn between the Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness.

Even a casual glance reveals a terrifying scene of black and red intermingling.

Let us continue to dive into the vast ocean of memories.

Shisui then realized what the bottleneck he wanted to break through was, and why the Demon Race Clan's Heaven-Controlling Realm wanted to transplant the Eye of Madness.

Before explaining the two questions above, let's first talk about the location of the Heaven-Controlling Realm on Ruolan Star.

For the planet, the Heaven-Controlling Realm is its most powerful masterpiece.

But at the same time, it is also the heaviest burden.

Because the Heaven-Controlling Realm also lives on Ruolan Star and also draws Psychic Energy from the planet.

Awakened beings below the Heaven-Controlling Realm have limited Psychic Energy stored within them, preventing the planet's Psychic Energy from being depleted.

However, the energy stored within the Heaven-Controlling Realm's body was too vast, and he could not release his Psychic Energy at will.

Therefore, it's quite normal for a planet to limit the amount of Psychic Energy that the Heaven-Controlling Realm can absorb.

This resulted in the Heaven-Controlling Realm being unable to move freely or maintain his peak condition.

They live a life less carefree and easy than the lower-level awakened beings.

Anyone would find this unbearable.

Not to mention those powerful individuals who can cultivate to the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Therefore, seeking greater power and breaking through the blockade of the Planetary Will became the goal of all those in the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

However, they are ultimately a species born on the Ruolan Star.

From the moment of their birth, they were naturally under the jurisdiction of Ruolan Star.

From the moment they were born, their evolutionary potential was limited.

This upper limit is actually the bottleneck you feel during cultivation.

The better one's aptitude and the higher one's level, the thicker that invisible and intangible barrier becomes.

Once they reach the Heaven-Controlling Realm, that barrier will completely lock the upper limit of the evolution of species on Ruolan Star.

At this point, accumulated practice over time becomes ineffective.

Therefore, the Heaven-Controlling Realm began to search for other breakthroughs.

The Demon Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm sought a breakthrough through biological modification experiments.

The Basket-Tailed Snake Species possesses a near-immortal self-repairing ability.

The separated body tissues can even be used to cultivate the massive colony of Undying Cells found in the center of the Shahai Laboratory.

However, his attack methods are quite limited, and his attack power is inferior to other Heaven-Controlling Realm.

That's why he chose the Eye of Madness.

As his memories began to fade, Shisui flipped to the last page and raised an eyebrow.

What a pleasant surprise!

I never expected to find information about the Beastfolk's Heaven-Controlling Realm.

The source of the Eye of Madness is the Beast King Qiongqi, the Heaven-Controlling Realm of the Beastfolk Clan.

That chaotic, frenzied aura also originated from him.

Shisui met the Eye of Madness, the size of a fingernail, that the person in charge remembered, and his consciousness instinctively snapped away in an instant.

He rubbed his throbbing eyes, and the brain in his hand began to crumble inch by inch.

Shisui his still throbbing eyes, Zi Sui withdrew [Spirit Dream Recall].

The speed was fast enough that [Spirit Dream Recall] was unharmed.

Looking at the brain that had turned to ashes in his hands, Shisui made a judgment.

That Eye of Madness was the genuine article taken from the Beast King.

The rest were cultured from a small amount of cell tissue from this genuine artifact.

The sheer terror of even a single eyeball speaks volumes about the Beast King's power.

Otherwise, the Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm wouldn't be so fixated on transplanting the Eye of Madness.

As the pain subsided, a hint of doubt appeared in Shisui's eyes.

So, where did the genuine article go?
