The Weakest Special Lifeform (Seeking Collection)

Here is a vast blood-red mountain range spanning tens of thousands of kilometers. The mountains are covered in rocky forests and thickets, with all kinds of ferocious beasts lurking everywhere.

These beasts are grotesque in shape, each one mad and bloodthirsty. If any of them so much as takes a disliking to another, they will immediately tear into each other until one side is left dead and mangled.

Here, bloody slaughter is the norm, with countless lives falling every single day.

In a relatively quiet, low-lying patch of forest, a scrawny figure less than one and a half meters tall lay leisurely in the grass, a twig between his lips, hands behind his head, staring up at the enormous blood-red sun in the sky.

Though he appeared at ease, inside, a billion "screw this" thoughts were stampeding wildly.

With a slight shift of his gaze, a row of golden characters, visible only to him, floated before his eyes.

[Name: Wu Sheng

Identity: Soul-Devouring Demon Tank (Growth-Type Flesh Special Lifeform, Evolvable)

Level: Planet Grade, Tier 3

Contribution Points: 0 (Reminder: Contributing items such as Cosmic Crystals will earn corresponding contribution points. To contribute an item, click the "Confirm" button.)

Time-Space Shop: Your strength is insufficient, and your contribution points are insufficient. It cannot be activated yet! (Reminder: When you have enough contribution points, you can prioritize activating the Time-Space Shop. The earlier you activate it, the greater the discount you will receive on your first three purchases.)]

Staring at the data panel he had scrolled through countless times, the scrawny figure couldn't help but mutter under his breath: "What a scam!"

That's right. This scrawny figure was Wu Sheng after his reincarnation.

In the Origin Land, he had seen a special lifeform called the "Soul-Devouring Demon Tank" in the second agreement.

The agreement hyped this humanoid special lifeform as incredibly powerful, claiming its Innate Secret Art could evolve, that its divine body would eventually span at least a million kilometers, and that its Life Gene level would rival perfect genes...

But the catch was that he had to wait until the damn Realm Lord stage before he even had a chance to possess any of that.

Before that, he was just a little rookie with a Life Gene multiplier of only 1, starting out at the mere Apprentice Tier 1.

If it weren't for a kind-hearted "foster father" taking him in, he would have no idea how many times he'd have been reincarnated by now.

The worst part was that damned Time-Space Shop. Just activating it would cost who knows how many Cosmic Crystals—how could he, a weak little rookie, ever manage that?

It was true that he was a special lifeform with infinite lifespan, but infinite lifespan didn't mean he had any real power!

Right now, he was the weakest special lifeform around. Any slightly stronger opponent could easily destroy him.

And then all those infinite lives would be useless.

"Sigh... what am I going to do?"

The scrawny figure crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began reviewing his Innate Secret Arts and inherited memories.

1. Innate Secret Art "Soul Devouring": By devouring the pure remnant soul power left behind when other lifeforms die, you can rapidly enhance your willpower, with a slight boost to your soul power. (Note: After becoming an Immortal, this secret art can absorb an opponent's divine power and convert it into your own. Conversion efficiency depends on your Life Gene level.)

2. Innate Secret Art "Soul Control": An evolvable Innate Secret Art, divided into three stages.

Stage One: Mind Control (Note: Can be activated at Apprentice and Planet Grade. Grants two Mind Control slots, allowing you to control two targets with weaker consciousness than your own as puppets. Mind Control is not Soul Slavery, so if a puppet dies, the slot is not wasted.)

Stage Two: Assimilation (Note: Can be activated at Star Grade, Cosmic Level, and Domain Lord. Grants three Assimilation slots, allowing you to assimilate three targets with weaker consciousness than your own into avatars. If an avatar dies, it has no effect on you, and the slot is not wasted. Assimilation slots and Mind Control slots are not interchangeable.)

Stage Three: Will Enslavement (Note: Can be activated after becoming a Realm Lord. Grants five Will Enslavement slots, allowing you to directly enslave five targets with weaker willpower than your own. Will Enslavement, like Soul Slavery, occupies a fixed slot. If the slave dies, the slot disappears. Will Enslavement slots are not interchangeable with the previous two types.)

Warning: If your consciousness is lower than the target you are trying to "Soul Control," you will suffer backlash and become the target's slave or avatar. Use this Innate Secret Art with caution.

Additionally, Will Enslavement appears for the first time in this Primordial Universe. Its advantage is that it can enslave powerful lifeforms that have no soul.

Moreover, Will Enslavement does not reduce a slave's potential like Soul Slavery does; instead, it relatively enhances it. However, there is still a risk of backlash. If enslavement fails, it will impact your own willpower.

3. Innate Secret Art "Demon Ape Transformation": An evolvable Innate Secret Art. In the early stages, it can only change your body size and appearance. In the later Realm Lord stage, it can transform into a body-type amplification secret art.

Note: The higher your Life Gene level, the more powerful this amplification secret art becomes, with a maximum multiplier of 100. The ratio of gene level to amplification is 100:1.

Looking at his Innate Secret Arts, Wu Sheng felt a pang of frustration. These secret arts were useful, sure, but they either came with the risk of backlash or were nearly impossible to cultivate to their highest level. None of them were things he, a newborn, could accomplish.

He then turned to his inherited memories. There was even less content there—no secret arts at all, just some simple introductions and records about the Soul-Devouring Demon Tank.

Things like normal evolution time: from Apprentice Tier 1 to Planet Grade Tier 1 took 10 years; from Planet Grade Tier 1 to Star Grade Tier 1 took 100 years... from Domain Lord Tier 1 to Realm Lord Tier 1 took 100,000 years; from Realm Lord Tier 1 to the peak of Realm Lord took 1,000,000 years, and so on.

This sent Wu Sheng plummeting back into the depths of despair. The more he read, the more he wanted to slit his own throat.

In this land full of slaughter, you want me to live a million years just to reach the peak of Realm Lord? You can't be joking like this!

Thankfully, the universe was fair!

As the universe's only special lifeform, the "Soul-Devouring Demon Tank," even though he was classified as an ordinary special lifeform, once he actually grew up, he could indeed rival the most heaven-defying special lifeforms.

Because he could evolve. Not only could his Innate Secret Arts evolve, but so could his Life Gene and his body.

At the start, his Life Gene was indeed 1x. But when he reached the Realm Lord stage, his body would undergo a Life Gene transformation based on how many Source Laws he had gained recognition from.

This point was incredibly heaven-defying, and it was the main reason Wu Sheng had chosen this host body.

Even though he still didn't know why his special lifeform was like this!

But even if he did nothing and just slept for 100,000 years, by the time he became a Realm Lord in his normal state (meaning without gaining recognition from any Source Law), his Life Gene would undergo at least a 10x transformation, and his body would be over a thousand kilometers tall. That would be enough to rival the Original Body of a Golden-Horned Giant Beast in its normal state.

If he could gain recognition from a certain Source Law, then by the time he became a Realm Lord, his Life Gene would reach at least 100x, and his body would be tens of thousands of kilometers tall.

If he could gain recognition from all ten Source Laws, after becoming a Realm Lord, his Life Gene would reach at least 1000x, and his body would be close to a hundred thousand kilometers tall.

If, during this time, he could use some treasures that enhanced Life Gene, like fusing Blood Luo Crystals to raise his Life Gene in advance, then by the time he became a Realm Lord, he might be able to directly break through to the perfect gene level through his own transformation.

At that point, his body would be close to a terrifying million kilometers tall.

Absolutely heaven-defying!

This was a heaven-defying ability that violated the operating laws of the Primordial Universe. If placed within the Primordial Universe, it was likely no worse than the Nine Calamities Secret Codex!

At the same time, his Inner World was called the "Innate Life Core." If he could continue breaking through with a perfect gene state, when he became an Immortal, his Inner World would directly transform into a special Divine Kingdom. Although this Divine Kingdom would need to be nurtured by his own divine power, it could remain directly within his divine body, accompanying him as he fought across the universe.

By then, his Divine Kingdom would be his greatest trump card.

This was the only Special Lifeform in the entire universe, the "Soul-Devouring Demon Tank." As long as it could grow up, it wouldn't need any Nine Calamities Secret Codex to become a supreme existence that could dominate a region.

Unfortunately, right now he was just a little rookie!

Forget fusing a Blood Luo Crystal or gaining recognition from the Source Laws—he didn't even have a single Cosmic Crystal.

"Sigh, there's no way around it. If I just coast along and wait to die, even if I manage to live until Realm Lord, I'll only be a weak Special Lifeform. Aside from having an infinite lifespan, I might not even compare to the most ordinary Golden-Horned Giant Beast."

"If I can gain recognition from some Source Laws before becoming a Realm Lord, I could transform into a powerful Special Lifeform that the entire universe wouldn't dare underestimate—or even a heaven-defying Special Lifeform."

"I can't wait any longer. I have a golden finger but can't use it, and on top of that, my Special Lifeform is essentially useless in the early stages. I have no choice but to walk the only path left for me!"

Wu Sheng stared at the enormous blood-red sun hanging in the sky, his mind already set on his direction.
