The power of the Earthling bloodline had originally been scattered throughout every corner of Mo Yuan's cells.

Their absorption of vital energy was so minuscule that it was almost imperceptible.

But once gathered together, Mo Yuan could clearly feel the Earthling bloodline power absorbing vital energy.

Since that was the case, then bring it on!

Mo Yuan stopped paying attention to the other three bloodline powers.

He let them do whatever they wanted within his body.

He released his Mind's Eye.

By now, his Mind's Eye could cover more than half of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. (In the original story, Son Goku said that the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was about the size of an Earth.)

The vital energy within the range of his Mind's Eye surged toward him under Mo Yuan's attraction.

"What's going on?"

Lazuli suddenly felt a gale blowing through the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

If she could sense vital energy, she would have discovered that this gale was actually formed by the flow of vital energy itself.

All the vital energy gathered around Mo Yuan.

A massive vortex of vital energy formed around him.

Lazuli was a mix of worry and joy, unsure if this change was good or bad.

But there was nothing she could do to help.

She could only pray silently in her heart.

Praying that Mo Yuan would be safe and sound.

Eat, keep eating.

I will give you as much as you want to eat.

Once you're full, go and deal with those three rebellious brats for me!

A tidal wave of vital energy poured into Mo Yuan's body.

Under Mo Yuan's control, the Earthling bloodline power transformed into a Taotie, opening its gaping maw to devour the vital energy frantically.

As the vital energy vanished bit by bit, Mo Yuan discovered with surprise that the white ball of light had actually grown larger.

Although the growth was very slow, it was indeed getting bigger.

Mo Yuan was ecstatic.

This change allowed him to see a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that the vital energy was effective, Mo Yuan immediately increased his efforts.

The gale outside grew even more violent.

The vital energy vortex surrounding Mo Yuan instantly expanded.

Countless amounts of vital energy were swept into the vortex and then sucked into Mo Yuan's body.

Time is like sand held in the hand, always slipping away when one is not paying attention.

Without realizing it, a month had passed.

For this entire month, Lazuli had stayed by Mo Yuan's side day and night.

Even though she possessed infinite stamina and wouldn't get tired after a month without rest, she still felt drowsy.

Lazuli's beautiful eyes were bloodshot.

But she couldn't bear to close them and rest.

She kept staring fixedly at Mo Yuan, terrified that something might happen to him.

At this moment, the vital energy vortex around Mo Yuan's body had become faint, almost non-existent.

The vital energy throughout the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber had been almost completely drained by him.

Although Lazuli could not sense vital energy, she vaguely felt as if something was missing.

Before long, the vital energy vortex vanished.

The vital energy in the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber had been completely exhausted.

And within Mo Yuan's body, a massive change had taken place.

The Earthling bloodline power, which was originally only one percent the size of the others, was now completely different.

It had transformed into a behemoth.

It had devoured all the energy within the entire Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Its current size was comparable to the other bloodline powers, perhaps even slightly stronger.

The time had come!

Mo Yuan watched the other three bloodline powers running rampant inside his body and sneered inwardly.

He decided it was time to take action against them.

And the first target was the Frieza Race bloodline!

Why not start with the Namekian bloodline?

Through his observations over these past few days, Mo Yuan had discovered that the Namekian bloodline was not weak at all.

Of these three bloodlines, the Frieza Race bloodline was actually the weakest.

So, why was the strength of the Namekians so low?

Mo Yuan realized it wasn't that their bloodline was weak, but rather that it was so powerful that the conditions required to activate it were far too high.

High to the point of being unattainable.

Much like the Saiyans, powerful bloodlines required extremely demanding conditions to be activated.

While the Frieza Race was also strong, their bloodline potential was far inferior to the other two.

This was understandable, however.

The Namekians called themselves the Dragon Clan, and they were capable of creating miraculous treasures like the Dragon Balls.

Thinking of Dragon God Zalama, who created the Super Dragon Balls, Mo Yuan strongly suspected that Dragon God Zalama was, in fact, the ancestor of the Namekians.

Furthermore, Dragon Balls possessed a specific trait: when their creator died, the Dragon Balls they created would turn into stone.

Clearly, the Super Dragon Balls had not turned into stone.

Of course, some might argue that the Earth Kami's Dragon Balls were reactivated by Dende after Kami died.

However, there was still a problem: one needed the strength to activate the Dragon Balls in the first place.

If Dende were asked to activate the Super Dragon Balls, Mo Yuan believed it would be impossible.

Therefore, even if Dragon God Zalama were dead, there must certainly exist a Namekian no weaker than him.

Having settled on his target, Mo Yuan no longer hesitated.

He took control of the white orb of light belonging to the Earthling bloodline.

Under Mo Yuan's command, the white orb transformed into a ferocious, claw-bearing divine dragon.

With lightning speed, it lunged toward the purple orb.

The purple orb didn't even have time to react before the white dragon bit off a massive chunk.

Mo Yuan's intuition had been correct; the Earthling bloodline could indeed assimilate other bloodlines.

After the white dragon swallowed a mouthful of the purple orb, its originally pure white body was stained with a faint trace of purple, and there was no sense of rejection whatsoever.

Mo Yuan couldn't help but think of the process by which Cell became his Perfect Form.

He had first absorbed hundreds of thousands of Earthlings, then later absorbed Lazuli and Lapis, the two strongest Earthlings, before finally achieving his Perfect Form.

Was it possible that this was actually the process of strengthening the Earthling bloodline within him?

Once the Earthling bloodline grew to a certain extent, it would devour the other three bloodlines, assimilate them, and thereby evolve into the ultimate perfect form.

To verify his hypothesis, Mo Yuan accelerated.

The ambushed purple orb of light was already too weak to resist.

In no time at all, the white divine dragon devoured it completely in a few gulps.

The white divine dragon was thoroughly dyed a pale purple.

Mo Yuan cast his gaze toward the Saiyan bloodline.

It was not that he wanted to target the Saiyan bloodline first.

Rather, the golden orb of light belonging to the Saiyan bloodline had autonomously transformed into a giant golden ape, its fighting spirit soaring as it glared at the divine dragon!

Since that was the case, then let them fight!

Watching the giant golden ape, Mo Yuan felt the blood in his veins begin to boil.

As if by mutual agreement.

With perfect tacit understanding, Mo Yuan and the giant ape moved at the same time.

They were soon locked in a struggle.

There were no martial arts techniques here.

Only the most primitive, beastly style of combat.

Mo Yuan controlled the divine dragon to coil around the giant ape, opening its maw to bite fiercely into the ape's shoulder.

Immediately, a golden orb of light was torn away by the bite.

Stung by the pain, the giant ape refused to be outdone; it grabbed the dragon's body with one hand and swung a heavy fist at the dragon's head with the other.

However, the divine dragon, having already devoured the Frieza Race bloodline, was clearly possessed of greater strength.

Its four dragon claws gripped the giant ape's body tightly.

The claws sank deep into the ape's flesh.

While being struck by the giant ape, the dragon's claws also tore several chunks of "meat" from the ape's body.

Furthermore, the giant ape's attacks did not actually cause much damage.

On the contrary, after having several chunks of flesh torn away by the divine dragon, it clearly became much weaker.
