The essence flowed down his esophagus and into his body.

Suddenly, a cool, refreshing sensation permeated his entire being!

Chu He even felt his soul trembling slightly.

With Chu He's Advanced War God physical constitution, it was rare for him to experience such an uncontrollable physical reaction.

It was as if an ordinary person had taken a sip of ice-cold cola at noon in the height of summer, causing a shiver to run through his entire body.

Refreshing!

In that instant!

Chu He felt the coolness in his stomach rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Under this chill, the Genetic Origin Energy throughout his body began to boil, surging toward his Dantian in waves.

Even though Chu He felt that his Dantian was already bursting at the seams, as if it were about to split open, the Genetic Origin Energy within the cells all over his body continued to gather into small streams and rivers.

Though the streams were small, they flowed toward the Dantian with unwavering determination.

Finally, within the boundless Dantian, the gathered Origin Energy could no longer be compressed.

"BOOM!"

In an instant, this Genetic Origin Energy exploded violently.

However, at the very moment the Genetic Origin Energy reached its peak, a force like a black hole suddenly emerged at the core of the Dantian.

The torrents of Genetic Origin Energy gathered from all directions of the Dantian swirled toward the very center, compressing frantically.

"HUM!"

Another violent tremor shook the Dantian!

Chu He's consciousness seemed to suddenly appear within his Dantian.

In the vast, boundless Dantian, only a single sphere of light remained at the very core!

It was as if, in an infinite universe, only this one planet remained.

At the core of the Dantian, there was only this one sphere of light.

A magnificent, resplendent sphere of light, overflowing with brilliance!

As his consciousness zoomed in, Chu He clearly perceived that this sphere of light was composed of densely packed hexagonal crystals!

A strange, intangible, and formless ripple began to spread out from this planet.

"So this is Planetary Level?"

Feeling the fluctuations continuously released by the planet within his Dantian, and feeling his body constantly transforming under the influence of this power, Chu He suddenly smiled.

A bright, brilliant smile appeared on his face, and his eyes, which were as radiant as the stars, shone even more brightly.

July 18, 2058. Nearly 19 years since arriving in this world, he had finally broken through to Planetary Level!

At this moment, Luo Feng was still in seclusion within the Ruins of Ancient Civilization No. 9.

At this moment, he was still an Invincible War God.

At this moment, Chu He had exceeded his own expectations.

"I... have surpassed Luo Feng!" Chu He's smile was radiant, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

For Chu He, this moment felt like a rebirth.

From today on, Chu He felt he could have a little more confidence.

Hmm... he could now embrace City Lord Luo's thigh with a much more confident posture!

Just kidding.

Chu He simply felt that with such a powerful inheritance, it would be a total failure if he couldn't even keep up with Luo Feng's achievements!

The scene of Old Chu curled up on the sofa, weeping over his own uselessness, was still vivid in his mind...

The blood-stained palm that Adams had reached out with before he died was still fresh in his memory...

Chu He took a deep breath. His voice was barely audible, yet as firm as iron: "In this life, I will definitely wipe out the Monsters and sweep away all obstacles! I will ensure that the human race of Earth traverses the starry sky and dominates the universe!"

"Hum!"

At this moment, the elevation of Chu He's life essence triggered an automatic promotion of his Spiritual Force within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Whoosh!"

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the already liquefied Spiritual Force began to condense on its own.

Contracting, solidifying.

Soon, a ball of light, similar in shape to the one in his Dantian, formed within his Sea of Consciousness.

The moment this ball of light took shape, the White Jade Wine Pot suddenly burst into a brilliant glow.

Three emerald-green seeds shot out from the mouth of the pot.

From these three emerald-green seeds, intangible and formless fluctuations instantly spread throughout his entire Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, Chu He clearly understood the essence of these three emerald-green seeds.

They were three Seeds of Divine Ability!

Spirit Guiding Technique! Spirit Nourishing Technique! Spirit Sealing Technique!

With the appearance of these three Seeds of Divine Ability, Chu He immediately realized that there was no need for him to develop anything himself; the Wine God Inheritance he had received previously was simply incomplete!

After a brief recollection, Chu He understood why he had only received the complete Wine God Inheritance just now.

His strength had been too weak before!

His physique was weak, and his soul was even weaker!

Even though the White Jade Wine Pot had inadvertently strengthened him once before, he still wouldn't have been able to withstand the fluctuations of these three Seeds of Divine Ability.

If these three seeds had emerged from the White Jade Wine Pot back then, Chu He likely would have died from his Sea of Consciousness shattering!

Now, as Chu He sensed these three Seeds of Divine Ability, that nameless fluctuation expressed all the information contained within them without reservation.

"Hum!"

Chu He's brain felt dizzy, and he struggled to keep from drifting off into a deep sleep.

Ten o'clock at night, Villa 207 in the Jinxiu Residential District, the Martial Arts Hall on the second floor was brightly lit.

Chu He fell into a deep sleep on the brown oak floor.

The night passed in a blur.

At dawn, the light from the residential street lamps refracted through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the ceiling of the Martial Arts Hall, but nothing remained.

"Ugh... mm..." A few murmurs echoed in the silent space.

On the oak floor, Chu He opened his eyes in a daze.

His gaze slowly shifted from a vacant, unfocused state to one filled with clarity.

"So... this is the true Three Spirit Techniques!"

Chu He stood up and stretched a little, his tone inexplicably mournful: "Just how weak was I before!"

"Is this the difference between the Apprentice Stage and the Star Traveler Stage?"

A leap in the level of life!

An elevation in the essence of life!

This time, Chu He seemed to understand a little more about what true evolution really was.

The Apprentice Stage, from Junior Warrior to Advanced War God, is merely a series of improvements upon one's existing physical foundation.

It is nothing more than a process of accumulating energy.

As long as one absorbs Cosmic Energy and converts it into Genetic Origin Energy, one can steadily improve. If one employs certain methods—whether it be Dragon Blood, Jade Marrow, or Heavenly Star Jade Dew—this process can be rapidly shortened.

Evolution, however, is an elevation of the very essence of life.

In a single night, the information released by the three Seeds of Divine Ability had been completely understood and absorbed by Chu He.

Spirit Guiding Technique: To guide and lead, to extract and draw.

Spirit Nourishing Technique: To accumulate and contain, to nurture and store.

Spirit Sealing Technique: To seal and suppress, to confer and command.

Not only that, but these Three Spirit Techniques were, in essence, composed of a vast multitude of Runes.

If one were to engrave the comprehended Runes onto an object, that object would then possess the functions of the engraved Runes.

Take the White Jade Wine Pot, for instance; it was engraved with all the Runes from the Seeds of Divine Ability of the Three Spirit Techniques, and the Wine God had added many other Runes to it as well.

Of course, those other Runes were not passed down by the Wine God.

What can be passed down as a legacy is, naturally, the core content.

The three Seeds of Divine Ability and the White Jade Wine Pot constituted the core system of the Wine God.

At this moment, the three Seeds of Divine Ability and the White Jade Wine Pot lay within Chu He's Sea of Consciousness like four unguarded treasure vaults.

I'll start by trying to comprehend the Runes on these Seeds of Divine Ability! Chu He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and immersed his spirit completely into his Sea of Consciousness.

In the east, the sky turned white as the red sun began to rise.
