Ascended species were completely different from ordinary species.
After completing ascension, ordinary bloodlines evolved into ascended bloodlines, and biological magnetic fields evolved into ascended domains. Not only did all attributes and statuses skyrocket, but even more terrifyingly, they also gained the benefits of "civilization technology."
In ordinary civilizations, individuals could only enjoy the fruits of technology, such as upgrades, equipment, and modifications.
But in ascended civilizations, individuals could enjoy nourishment from the entire "technology tree."
To put it simply, if Gao Gong's Mechanic civilization ascended, every player would get a "Mecha Frenzy," and it would still be the Immortal Leader version.
For the pre-ascension members of the "Wetware Civilization," possessing the "Wetware Computer," the most basic ascension talent was immortality.
Even though the hardware had been stripped of its hardware system, that did not mean her talent had disappeared.
It could only be said that she had lost the ability to live and die together with her civilization, but immortality was immortality!
Perhaps some of those Mechanics had already begun developing "ascension technology," but it had to be said that their understanding of ascended domains was far too shallow.
But from Gao Gong's perspective, it was a different matter.
Every cell in his body and every gene chain was being crazily suppressed. Many carbon-based talents had only just lit up before being directly shut down by the effects of the ascended domain.
Outside the "mechanical cage," not only had his physical body been liberated, but the opponent's physical body had also been liberated.
The mechanical cage before him suddenly vanished, replaced by a river—a great river made of "wetware."
The river resembled a reversed Milky Way plunging into a cosmic rift. Billions of neuronal synapses flickered in pale-pink colloid; the riverbed was paved with overlapping layers of translucent calcified skulls.
