Unknown Powerful Enemy!

"If, even after my evolution, I still cannot achieve so-called victory, and my opponent is not a fourth-order being..."

So, it's the fifth order?

Who is likely to evolve to the fifth rank?

"Angels, Queen Bee, Insects, all are possibilities."

After all, these three are all at the fourth rank. Apart from Long and Li Heng, those who are already at the fourth rank have a better chance of breaking through to the fifth rank.

But...

There is another possibility.

Li Heng.

No, Li Yuan shook his head; his brother was the only one he was unwilling to doubt.

So, is she the highest-ranking known combat unit among the fourth-tier Queen Bee?

Li Yuan really couldn't figure out who the person Chen Ye was talking about was.

To put it another way, if Li Yuan advanced to the fifth rank after drinking the potion, he shouldn't be completely powerless against an opponent who was also at the fifth rank.

But it's strange that Chen Ye said he only beat that person once.

Could it be that...

"I didn't advance to the fifth rank after drinking the potion?"

Or is it that only one of these potions could help Li Yuan advance to the fifth rank, but Li Yuan only chose that potion once?

It's hard to say; there are too many interpretations.

If Chen Ye doesn't give a more specific hint, Li Yuan wouldn't be able to figure out the answer even if he racked his brains.

"Want to take a gamble?"

"No, we can't gamble."

Choosing to take a gamble might be one of the futures Chen Ye foresaw.

And this future may also be a completely failed future.

Li Yuan pondered this for a very long time, during which he conceived hundreds of hypotheses and imagined all sorts of methods.

However, considering Chen Ye's assumption that he had already calculated the future, all of Li Yuan's plans had flaws.

Until one moment, Li Yuan suddenly had a sudden realization.

"Since we can't determine which path is correct, why not try a different direction?"

"For example, instead of starting with how to gain that sliver of a chance of winning, let's take a step back and start with those potential failures?"

Perhaps a way out is to play along with the prevailing trend and follow the majority's future trajectory.

Since Chen Ye has already revealed his future fate, how about Li Yuan accepts the future he foretold and fails once?

Li Yuan suddenly picked up a bottle of medicine in front of him.

"Lord Aus, I have made my choice."

Chen Ye looked at his choice and suddenly fell silent. He felt that something seemed to have changed in the more distant future at this moment.

The future is like a line, and every important choice and change will branch off a new line from this line.

These lines branched out more and more, until they spread out into a tree of time.

But Chen Ye didn't look at that new future because he said he wanted to keep the story a little mysterious.

After all, things are interesting when there are changes and unexpected events.

The potion that Li Yuan chose was a gigantic sequence that Vespa, who had become Leviathan, had recovered.

The other two were two bottles of medicine taken from Li Yuan himself.

It evolved from the Fishman sequence.

Of course, the potion that Vespa fed back was also of the Fishman Sequence, but Chen Ye has now renamed the Fishman Sequence to the Ocean Sequence.

"Have you made your choice?"

"Yes, Lord Aus."

"Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I think I have considered it long enough."

Chen Ye didn't even need to look Li Yuan in the eye to know he was lying; he wasn't even considering which potion to choose.

He chose this potion randomly, and of course, that couldn't fool Chen Ye.

To be honest, Chen Ye heard every word Li Yuan uttered during the time he was alone in thought.

Some of his guesses are quite interesting, and they coincide with several future predictions that Chen Ye had previously foreseen.

The problem is, if Li Yuan will definitely lose.

At least Chen Ye didn't foresee a future where he would win with this bottle of medicine.

It could be said that he had already lost the moment he picked up the bottle of potion.

Chen Ye had been thinking this way until three minutes ago, until he read a passage of Li Yuan's thoughts that suddenly changed.

"Playing along with their scheme... does that mean we're going with the future?"

"That's interesting."

Return to the Island of the Other Shore.

Li Yuan threw the medicine, bottle and all, directly into his mouth.

The bottle shattered inside his body, and the potion's power instantly spread to every corner of Li Yuan's body!

His body began to expand endlessly at that moment!

His body was stretched infinitely, and his tentacles thrashed violently. Even after his body length exceeded a thousand meters, he showed no sign of stopping!

Li Yuan stopped evolving when his body grew to nearly 4,000 kilometers.

Six enormous arms plunged into the sea, making the massive Island of the Other Shore the other side appear tiny in front of Li Yuan!

The longest stretch of the Island of the Other Shore is only 70 kilometers from one end to the other!

But...

Li Yuan stretched out his massive arm, "As expected, it did not reach the fifth rank; the essence of life has not evolved."

If the essence of life has not advanced and sublimated, then it means that Li Yuan is still at the fourth level.

The potion's power allowed him to evolve to perfection at this stage, reaching the upper tier of the fourth order, and that was the end of it.

However, Li Yuan was already mentally prepared. The fifth rank is legendary, and it is not so easy to go from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

Unless a drastic measure is taken.

For example, Chen Ye used one of the Six Chapters, "The Future," as a medicinal ingredient to directly leapfrog the fifth level and ascend to the sixth level.

However, each of the Six Chapters is unique, and Chen Ye cannot even replicate a second one.

Because the origin of the future is unique, splitting the potion and extracting it only means breaking the origin into two parts, not creating a copy.

Li Yuan and the others want to evolve to the fifth or even sixth rank in one go, unless Chen Ye has already deduced the experiment to that point.

If he has already created many fifth and sixth-tier beings, he can easily evolve Li Yuan by taking some materials from them.

At present, the highest-level material is Chen Ye himself, but He has never used himself as material.

Therefore, based on these fourth- and third-tier materials and characteristic standards, at most, Li Yuan can only evolve to the upper fourth tier.

"It's impossible to determine exactly how strong a fifth-tier individual is. After all, even among fourth-tier individuals, there's no standard for the strength of different abilities."

"Gambling on how strong that fifth-tier cultivator is is too risky, it's still..."

As Li Yuan thought about it, his consciousness pierced through and connected with Li Heng at that moment.

"The dragon is dead."

"So you've evolved?"

"Yes, but I didn't evolve to the fifth rank as we had envisioned; I only reached the upper fourth rank."

"That's enough."

No, that's not enough.

"According to Lord Aus, this time there will be an opponent who can completely crush me even after I evolve to the fourth-tier high level."

"What?"

"I also find it incredible. Although Lord Aus loves to have fun, he never makes baseless accusations."

"In other words..."

"This time, we will lose."
