For the [Void Mist Sea].
Eating was both a process of strengthening himself and a process of learning.
Thanks to [All Things Known], which automatically analyzed any target he came into contact with.
Every time he devoured a target, it was essentially equivalent to completing a lesson for the [Void Mist Sea].
For instance, after he devoured the cosmic radiation drifting through the vacuum of space as food.
As feedback, he automatically gained insights into the actual structures and effects of various forms of cosmic radiation, thereby becoming capable of automatically releasing radiation energy invisible to the naked eye and bringing all manner of entirely different effects to the surrounding regions...
Especially when those effects were combined with the various sinister methods and specialized technologies Ling Wuyuan already knew, that radiation energy could immediately produce effects beyond an ordinary person's imagination.
Such as causing all manner of living things to undergo random mutations.
No direct contact was needed at all.
The [Void Mist Sea] merely needed to drift through the surrounding area.
Animals and plants within a radius of a million li would automatically mutate into entirely different new species, as though struck by a powerful curse...
That sort of spectacle.
If someone unaware of the truth saw it.
They would probably think an evil god had descended.
Honestly.
Ling Wuyuan had never deliberately steered the [Void Mist Sea]'s evolution in that direction.
Yet... it was as though the [Void Mist Sea] was simply born to be this way.
Even now, so soon after his birth, the [Void Mist Sea] had already automatically evolved numerous abilities that seemed distinctly off.
Numerous special abilities that looked thoroughly demonic and heretical...
Perhaps.
The most fundamental reason behind it all.
Was that so-called [evolution] was itself an exceedingly cruel process.
As an avatar.
