An Ascension Mark, an existence fundamentally beyond this tier, produced a chemical-reaction-like effect the moment it was thrown into the "Artificial Spectacle."
The biological fleet, the Interstellar Khan Guard, and the Carbon-Based Frenzy were all like spring water ruffled by a breeze. Swept by the radiance of ascension, they vanished completely, replaced by bubbling pools of blood and black threads.
The "Restrictions" brought by "Gene Bait" lit up one by one, then turned gray one after another.
Restriction 1 (High Risk): To digest the Flesh God, one must possess a bloodline matching it. Every gene must be imprinted with its own "Law of Flesh," or contamination is guaranteed.
Restriction 2 (High Risk): If "Artificial Spectacle" is digested through "Bait," the resulting life form cannot be controlled. If "True Spectacle" is digested through "Bait," the resulting life form is unknowable. Although the latter is far more dangerous, completely digesting a true spectacle still leaves a sliver of hope for returning to one's original life form. After all, a true spectacle has a certain chance of merging into other ascension technologies.
Restriction 3 (High Risk): Failure to digest will contaminate the planet. All carbon-based life containing the same DNA will be contaminated as well.
Restriction 4 (High Risk): Successful digestion will forcibly change one's faction, adding them to the "Interstellar Nomad Alliance." The faction can never be changed afterward.
Soon, after the final restriction—the one requiring her to join the "Interstellar Nomad Alliance"—disappeared, Gao Yuanyuan received the system notifications—
