Accelerated Evolution of Earthlings

In the Jiangnan Base City, within a reclaimed and reconstructed zone in the northwest corner, a unique area stood out from its surroundings. It was filled with a dense sea of tables and chairs spanning a kilometer, where Martial Artists from all corners of the world gathered.

From time to time, plates of delicious food would fly out from the central restaurant, landing precisely on the tables of those who had ordered. At the entrance of the restaurant, the voice of a doll announcing transactions rang out incessantly: "Martial Artist account credited with 3.5 billion, Martial Artist account credited with 120.6 billion..."

A fighter jet appeared silently in the clear sky, and three figures flew out from it. Looking down at the sea of people below, Luo Feng couldn't help but click his tongue: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Sister's business is getting more and more explosive. I reckon most of the Martial Artists on Earth have been here by now."

Hong sighed as well: "Indeed. If it weren't for the fact that there were so few low-level Martial Artists two years ago, the War God Palace probably wouldn't be able to handle the load by now. Xue Xi is truly the treasure of our human race on Earth!"

Thor stood to the side, silent, but his eyes flashed with the memory of the flourishing state of Earth's martial arts over the past two years.

Two years ago, there were 52 Inspectors, 5 chairmen, 3,561 War Gods, and the remaining low-level Martial Artists numbered barely a million.

Today, excluding those with truly poor talent who had yet to break through, the number of Inspectors on Earth had reached a staggering 200, and the number of chairman seats had increased to 10. The most significant change was in the number of War Gods: 360,000!

Yes, the serial numbers in the War God Palace had gone from 3,561 to 362,547. This was the answer sheet handed in by humanity under the nourishment of Xue Xi's food. Even among the low-level Martial Artists, nearly 80% were at the War General level. The wounded returned to the wilderness after being healed by Highland Barley Wine, while the rest were either those overdrawing their potential with gene agents or those who were simply hopeless cases.

With such a massive lineup of Martial Artists, humanity, under the organization and leadership of the War God Palace, began a formal counterattack against the Monsters.

Under the firepower coverage of the War Gods, the land was fully reclaimed within half a month. As for the two Monster Emperors in the sea, they were stunned by this blitzkrieg. Once they reacted, they prepared to order the ocean monsters to launch a full-scale beast tide, intending to let these ignorant ants know the true power of the beast hordes.

The result was that the monsters that came ashore were captured alive by a group of excited human Martial Artists, sent off to who knows where. As for the two Beast Emperors, the moment they showed their heads, they were beaten into critical condition by Hong and Thor, who had broken through to the Stellar Rank. The Thunder Dragon Emperor was captured alive on the spot by long vines, and the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor had to sever seven of its claws before it could escape into the deep sea.

From then on, Earth returned to human rule. While there were still plenty of monsters in the sea, those on land were kept in captivity by humans—not for scientific research, but simply to provide ingredients for the massive logistical needs of humanity.

At this moment, the Martial Artists below spotted the trio hovering in the sky and couldn't help but exclaim: "Holy crap! The top three chairmen are all here! But wait, aren't they all at the Stellar Rank now? Does eating food from the Cat Ear Restaurant still have any effect?"

A companion beside him smacked the speaker on the head: "Talking nonsense again! Can you question the food of Chef God Xue Xi? If she says it provides a multi-fold acceleration, it does. It's been proven that the effect is the same whether you're at the Apprentice level or the Planetary Realm!"

The man rubbed his head, glanced at the restaurant in the center from which plates were constantly flying out, and chuckled: "I wasn't questioning it, I was just curious. If it still works for the three chairmen who are so strong, imagine how powerful they must be now with that 1,000-fold cultivation speed!"

Everyone present had this question to some degree, but the three in the sky didn't seem to have the leisure for it. With a sweep of their spiritual force, they discovered that Xue Xi was lying at the entrance of the kitchen, eyes closed in rest, so they quickly descended and walked into the restaurant.

Thor, being the most impatient, took a syringe glowing with green light from a world ring he had obtained from an ancient civilization ruin and approached Xue Xi's rocking chair. Ignoring the various kitchen utensils cooking on their own, he grabbed Xue Xi's shoulders and shook her: "Wake up, Fourth Sister! Second Brother found this healing agent in a new ruin, hurry up and use it to see if it works!"

Xue Xi had long since sensed their arrival. She opened her eyes with a wry smile and looked at the anxious Thor: "Second Brother, I've told you so many times, there's a different reason why I can't break through. It's really not because my body is damaged!"

Hong and Luo Feng chimed in to persuade her: "Fourth Sister, just give it a try. You were at the peak of the Stellar Rank two years ago, and now we are all approaching the peak of the Stellar Rank ourselves. How can you not expect us to be worried?"

Xue Xi speechlessly extended a finger and tapped her forehead. Her body was linked to the Great Book; when the goal was met, the Great Book was the best catalyst, allowing her to soar into the sky. But when the goal wasn't met, even if she ate heavenly treasures, the Great Book acted like a piece of ancient divine iron, blocking the bottleneck of her realm.

Two years ago, the carnival caused by the Sweet Skin Duck allowed her to quickly reach the third goal, bringing her strength to the peak of the Stellar Rank. With the blessing of thirty dishes, humanity on Earth evolved rapidly, and her spread of intangible cultural heritage cuisine reached 930,000 again. But the remaining 70,000 had been increasing bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste, and it had been stagnant for nearly two and a half years.
