"Th-this... is this the legendary Cosmic Wonder?" A hint of fervor burned in Gustav's eyes.
"A Cosmic Wonder-the Water of Life! When used by any living creature, it not only unlocks the body's potential and enhances its capabilities across the board, but also greatly extends its lifespan. With long-term use, it can even... optimize genes and help an entire species evolve to a higher level!"
Both commanders sucked in a sharp breath at Black Steward's words.
Enhancing individual capabilities was nothing exceptional. The Twin Stars had technological means to do that too, but most came with severe side effects, either sacrificing lifespan to stimulate the body's potential or replacing parts of the body with machinery.
If that were its only effect, the Twin Stars would not have attached much importance to it. After all, something that only benefited individuals had little impact on an entire civilization.
But the other two effects were extraordinary!
The value of extending lifespan went without saying. No one would complain about living too long, and using it on important, top-tier scientists could contribute considerably to a civilization's development.
For those aging figures in power, it was also an irresistible temptation.
As for optimizing genes and promoting biological evolution, that was an incredible effect capable of raising the potential of an entire civilization! Its value to the Twin Stars was immeasurable!
"How can we be sure you're telling the truth?" Ishar asked cautiously.
"Heh! Even with all the technologies we use to slow aging, we in the Twin Stars can only extend our lifespans to around two hundred years. Yet the Kara People's natural lifespan is nearly three hundred years, and their bodies have powerful regenerative abilities. They can even regrow lost limbs!
"We're all humanoids, but there's no denying that the Kara People are ahead
