Su Hao had already confirmed that the information obtained from observing Source Beasts was more comprehensive than that obtained from observing Source Artifacts.
So he immediately thought of a plan to study Source Beasts.
What he meant by studying Source Beasts was not capturing one and examining its physical structure. A Source Beast that had already completed its transformation was not particularly useful to him.
What he truly needed was the entire process of an ordinary creature transforming from scratch into a Source Beast.
That would allow him to precisely discover what kind of mechanism caused matter to transform into Source.
However, observing the complete transformation process of an ordinary creature was not easy. The hardest part was determining which creature would ultimately become a Source Beast.
In this world, all kinds of disasters occurred somewhere every day, yet before they happened, no one knew where they would strike.
Source Beasts were the same. With countless living creatures in the world, who could determine which one would luckily transform into a Source Beast in the end?
Su Hao's understanding was that this was a matter of probability.
The most direct way to solve a probability problem was to increase the sample size. As long as the base was large enough and the probability was not too low, it could be crudely regarded as an "inevitable event."
So Su Hao's strategy was simple: cordon off a large stretch of ocean, record the Consciousness Information of every school of fish within that sea area into Marble Space, wait for one or several creatures among them to transform into Source Beasts, then look back and examine the transformation process of those Source Beasts.
It sounded exceedingly troublesome, but for Su Hao, who had spent more than half a year racking his brains without
