Inside the activity room, while Jiang Ruochan and Jiang Hou discussed the divine weapon fragments, Zong Zheng Nanmo, who was beside them, outwardly remained silent but inwardly was complaining.

Seriously, club president.

Earlier, you said you couldn't let me get something for nothing, so how come you're now willing to directly give Jiang Hou a divine weapon fragment worth several thousand points? Of course, despite the complaints, he knew this matter was important to Jiang Hou and didn't interrupt.

"Dare."

Facing Jiang Ruochan's question, Jiang Hou gave a calm answer, and immediately a smile appeared on the black-haired girl's face.

With the matter of the divine weapon fragment settled, Zong Zheng Nanmo curiously asked, "Club president, can you tell us specifically what the Eight Great Era inheritances are?"

"I've heard you mention them a few times these past few days, but you've never finished explaining them."

"This?" Jiang Ruochan pondered slightly, "Normally, this information is only available after you break through to the Third Order and become official reserve members."

"But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you."

"Besides the Deity, Sky Demon, Immortal Devil, Behemoth, Witch Mark, and Divine Weapon Eras I've mentioned, the Eight Great Eras also include Sky Fire and Dharma Form, but all are incomplete."

"Of course, although these inheritances are incomplete, each power is incredibly strong."

"For example, the Divine Weapon Era, according to the excavated data, is the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth before time immemorial, forming primordial wombs containing powerful might."

"These embryos were mastered by the strong at the time and refined into divine weapons, and those who held the divine weapons were called Lords of Weapons."

"The path of this era is to collect fragments of the same divine weapon, fuse and repair them, uniting man and weapon, and restore the earth-shattering power of the ancient times."

"But these divine weapons shattered into countless fragments during the great calamity, and after several eras, they are impossible to collect, which is why the inheritance is incomplete."

"This path is indeed a bit difficult," Jiang Hou nodded.

"What about the Behemoth Era?" Zong Zheng Nanmo continued to ask.

"This system is even more special."

Jiang Ruochan thought for a moment, "In recent years, the Sky Punishment experts have also discovered some Behemoth remains in the depths of the Ruins, but those bones have long been petrified and have no power at all."

"And in some research data from the Deity Era that we excavated, an organization called the Sage Alliance was mentioned."

"This organization had deep research into the remains of heaven and earth Behemoths and even invented Blood Arrays that could transform life, using the Blood Arrays to extract the residual power from the bones and transform humans or other creatures into Behemoths."

Hearing this, Jiang Hou's eyes flickered slightly, because he was very familiar with this scene.

"Unfortunately, this plan ultimately failed, for two reasons."

"First, the extraction and transformation time of the Blood Array was long, on the scale of millennia, and many suitable test subjects died of old age before the Blood Array completed its charging."

"Second, even if the test subjects successfully transformed into Behemoth life forms, without exception, their consciousness collapsed, and their souls shattered, leaving only the destructive instinct of beasts."

"These transformed Behemoths caused disasters every time they appeared, and even deities fell, and the plan was eventually sealed."

Consciousness collapsed, soul shattered, why didn't I? Hearing this, Jiang Hou paused, then his eyes narrowed. No, it's not that I didn't.

He had a headache for a while when he first woke up, and then some memory fragments popped up in his mind!!

But how could a normal person have 'memory fragments' in their head? Or, because of reincarnation, does he have two souls in his body...? It's just that for more than ten years since his rebirth, he has never felt anything in his body, or that he has a dual personality? Can't figure it out. Jiang Hou shook his head. Too complicated.

The club activities ended at five o'clock today, and it was only five-thirty when Jiang Hou returned home. Walking into the living room, he saw Qin Siyu lying on the sofa chatting again.

Its calves swayed, shapely and beautiful beneath black pantyhose.

However, the girl wasn't showing her butt today.

"Jiang Hou, you're back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

After dinner, while Qin Siyu watched TV with great interest, Jiang Hou leaned back on the sofa, pondering and analyzing what Jiang Ruochan had said that afternoon.

Especially the life conversion ritual.

Unfortunately, thinking about it for a long time was futile; he still had no clue. In the end, Jiang Hou didn't bother to dwell on it, figuring it was enough that he had succeeded.

In the evening, after Qin Siyu returned to her room at half-past nine, Jiang Hou also pretended to take a quick shower and returned to his own room.

Knowing Qin Siyu as he did, the girl would lie in bed and play on her phone for an hour or two, then go to the bathroom before sleeping.

Closing the door, drawing the curtains, turning off the lights, Jiang Hou completed the routine skillfully, and then his figure disappeared silently.

At the edge of the black mist-filled forest, a ten-meter-tall Black Giant Ape stood on a thick tree branch, its gaze icy as it looked into the distance.

In the palace Ruins that had been empty yesterday, a Ferocious Beast lay prone, fifteen meters long, its entire body covered in gray-black scales, resembling a dinosaur-like Stegosaurus.

As the Black Giant Ape had expected, with the death of the Black Centipede Ferocious Beast, other Ferocious Beasts would soon be attracted by the energy gathered here.

However, this Ferocious Beast wasn't very strong. The Giant Ape didn't sense any danger from it; its level should have reached the Third Order, but only the early stage, a 'weakling'.

Just right, the appearance of this Stegosaurus Ferocious Beast saved it time; after eating it, it should be able to evolve.

Roar! Roar! With a roar that shook the surroundings, the forest quickly returned to silence.

Inside the dilapidated palace, the Stegosaurus Ferocious Beast's corpse lay on the ground, everything above its neck gone, leaving only a pool of unrecognizable flesh and white bone fragments.

Beside the blood-soaked Ferocious Beast, the Giant Ape stood, its back of hand torn and bloody, exuding a thick, bloody aura, ferocious and violent.

In front of the current Black Giant Ape, an early Third Order Ferocious Beast was too weak; it hadn't even reacted before being blasted apart by a few punches.

The Black Giant Ape plopped down on the ground, grabbed the Stegosaurus Ferocious Beast's corpse, and tore into its neck with large bites, each mouthful spraying blood.

As large amounts of flesh and blood entered its stomach, warm currents spread throughout the Black Giant Ape's body, causing cells to frantically absorb, divide, and compress wherever they passed.

However, due to the 'bloodline' limit, the Giant Ape's size didn't increase further; only its body density became heavier and heavier.

At the same time, as its body absorbed biological energy, the Black Giant Ape keenly sensed that a trace of essence was gathering within it, eventually disappearing into the depths of its body.

"That should be evolution energy."

The Black Giant Ape grinned, picking out the bone fragments stuck between its teeth, then continued to eat, the palace filled with the sound of tearing flesh.

The physique of transcendent creatures was powerful, their density far exceeding that of ordinary creatures. Even for the Black Giant Ape, it took a long time to finish the ten-meter-plus Ferocious Beast, eventually leaving behind a pile of white bones.

"Hoo! Finally full."

The Black Giant Ape exhaled a hot, bloody breath, its massive form slowly rising. At this moment, its entire body had a strong sense of saturation, the bones at its joints faintly itching, as if they were about to develop a second time.

However, how could a second development compare to the improvement of evolution?

Thinking of this, the Black Giant Ape's mind stirred, summoning its stats page, its gaze falling directly on the evolution value at the very bottom, 100/100.
