This Life Network was not the natural evolution of some powerful lifeform community, but a manifestation of the portion of evolutionary sequence power scattered across this planet.
Across the three temporal realms, the three great sequences had battled without end. The future temporal realm had already reached its conclusion. In the present temporal realm, the Divine Dynasty sequence was still fighting the Empire sequence. As for the past temporal realm, the evolutionary sequence was still struggling on Earth Star.
Yet the conflict in the past temporal realm had been the most brutal. The evolutionary sequence's power had practically been shattered. Let alone opening the Evolution Space, even the most fundamental rule—the Evolution Panel—could no longer be sustained.
But precisely because evolution had shattered, what had once been orderly evolution became disorderly. Chaotic evolutionary power fused with radiation, driving disorder to an extreme. In the process, even metals, which were relatively closely linked to life, developed vitality.
Fortunately, disorderly evolutionary power was not absolutely without order. The conviction of life could control the direction of evolution—provided that conviction was firm enough.
Under such circumstances, disorder became an advantage instead. So long as one's conviction could rein it in, it brought nothing but benefits, with no drawbacks in sight. But once one's conviction was insufficient, or one's mind continually regressed and could no longer control the active evolutionary power within one's body, their once-orderly flesh structure would collapse in an instant. They would either die outright or turn into monsters ruled by instinct, growing without restraint.
Without question, this was the evolutionary sequence's final echo.
And it was at this very juncture that Zhao Cheng arrived. Wearing the guise of the world origin's final echo, he gathered the remnants of the evolutionary sequence's power. At his foundation, he was clean beyond clean.
