Evolution

Within the bamboo forest, the fluctuations grew increasingly violent, eventually forming a massive energy vortex above the small island.

When Lin Qing opened his eyes, he noticed that Medusa's body was already enveloped in a dense light.

The light continued to expand and contract. After a moment, a roar that sounded somewhat like a lion's roar and somewhat like a tiger's howl resounded from within the light. Shortly after the roar, the blinding light suddenly intensified.

A moment later, the light suddenly disappeared, and a giant purple snake, over ten zhang long, stood suspended in the air.

The purple giant snake had a long and powerful body, with a subtle sense of elegant beauty. Its pale purple pupils were not as ferocious as those of the giant snake in the lake, but rather revealed a sense of tranquility and serenity.

"Is this the Purple You Flame Serpent?"

This was also Lin Qing's first time seeing the Purple You Flame Serpent. However, he knew that the Purple You Flame Serpent possessed a trace of the bloodline of the ancient beast, the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python. If the opportunity was right, the Purple You Flame Serpent might be able to activate the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python within it, thereby evolving into the appearance of its ancestor.

In the original story, Medusa accidentally used the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python, thus successfully evolving.

"Hiss!"

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake on my left wrist flicked its tongue restlessly, clearly sensing a Fire Spirit Snake.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Qing couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:

"The Secret Technique of the Snake-People Tribe are quite interesting."

After saying that, he looked at the tasks on the system panel.

[Ding! New system task released. Medusa is about to evolve and will activate the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python bloodline within her. Due to the Soul-Nourishing Saliva given by the host, the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python's soul has been somewhat enhanced, while Medusa's soul has not been damaged. The two will reach a state of balance. However, because it is Medusa who is enduring the tribulation, she will fall into a deep sleep. Trigger the following choices:]

[Option 1: After Medusa successfully evolves, feed her the Little Sky Swallowing Python a Soul Spirit-Merging Pill to help her soul fuse. Reward: One Nine-Colored Primordial Stone. (This soul fusion has a drawback: there is a certain chance of causing mental splitting.)]

[Option 2: Seal Medusa's soul and let the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python's soul take over. Reward: Rank Nine Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python Body.]

[Option 3: Ignore for now. Reward: One portion of Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python Essence Blood.]

To be honest, if Medusa had treated him any worse, he would have chosen option two, or annihilated her soul.

Since choosing to cooperate, Medusa, though still somewhat arrogant, has basically not caused any trouble, and the Snake-People Tribe now treat her with utmost respect, making his decision somewhat difficult.

Let's choose option three and wait until Queen Medusa awakens.

Unexpectedly, there was still a problem with the Soul-Nourishing Saliva he gave. Lin Qing could only shake his head helplessly; it was none of his business.

However, plans can't always keep up with changes. It seems that the idea of establishing a power in the Black-Corner Region can only be considered after entering Jia Nan Academy.

Just as he was still pondering, the giant purple serpent coiled around a few times in the sky, then let out a clear, low growl before resolutely plunging down into the ball of Cyan Flame.

Under Lin Qing's watchful gaze, Medusa did not hesitate at all and desperately rushed into the Cyan Flame.

The instant the purple serpent slithered into the Heavenly Flames, Queen Medusa's piercing scream rang out, sending chills down one's spine.

Hearing Medusa's shrill scream emanating from the Heavenly Flames, Lin Qing shuddered. Words can never describe the shock of seeing it with one's own eyes and experiencing it firsthand.

Looking at the ball of Cyan Flame in mid-air, within it, a huge purple serpent was writhing wildly with its massive body.

As far as Lin Qing could see, the scales on the purple snake's body began to twist rapidly shortly after entering the Heavenly Flames, and were eventually Heavenly Flames, falling helplessly off the snake's body.

After the snake scales fell off, bright red blood gushed out. However, the blood was instantly incinerated by the terrifying temperature of the Heavenly Flames, leaving behind extremely glaring bloody marks on the purple snake's body.

"Squeak... squeak..."

Standing on the small island, Lin Qing could even hear the hissing sounds coming from the Heavenly Flames. As the blood rapidly drained away, the purple snake's enormous body was shrinking at a visible rate.

To be able to make a proud and powerful queen let out such a frantic and shrill scream, it's hard to imagine what kind of intense pain Queen Medusa is enduring. Under the burning of the Heavenly Flames, it's not just physical pain, but even her soul cannot escape the burning of the Heavenly Flames. That kind of pain is truly terrifying.

Lin Qing was somewhat shocked, and then solemnly sighed in his heart.

"The path to becoming strong is never achieved overnight! To become strong, you must risk your life for that sliver of hope."

Regardless, Medusa deserves respect; she was risking her life to fight for a better future for the Snake-People Tribe.

Medusa's commotion was immense; her piercing screams echoed throughout most of the Snake-People Holy City. Immediately, countless Serpent Snake-People powerhouses scrambled onto rooftops, their faces filled with horror as they stared at the source of the blazing purple light. Some tried to rush forward, but were blocked by the ferocious purple light, forced to stand outside, anxiously watching the enormous purple serpent thrashing violently within the Cyan Flame from a great distance.

Above the sky, four streaks of light rapidly flew towards Lin Qing; it was Lin Qi and the others.

"Brother! Is that Medusa in the flames?"

"Keep your eyes fixed on the purple snake within the Cyan Flame," Lin Qi said softly.

Then she looked at Lin Qing with a questioning gaze.

'Since the goal is to help Medusa evolve, why not let her use the Myriad Beasts Fruit?'

Lin Qing read the meaning in her eyes and immediately said in an annoyed tone:

"Although the Myriad Beasts Fruit can allow Peak Sixth Tier Magical Beast to break through to the Tier 7, Myriad Beasts Fruit only has the effect of bloodline evolution on Tier 5 Magical Beast. The Snake-People Tribe are not simply Magical Beast, and the Myriad Beasts Fruit is not as effective as their Secret Technique Snake-People Tribe. You were just lucky!"

Meanwhile, the Lion's purple eyes lit up. It seemed that the young master's Myriad Beasts Fruit was incredibly effective. Miss Lin Qi had relied on it to complete her bloodline evolution, and the young master also mentioned that he had more Myriad Beasts Fruit.

I wonder if I'll be able to get one of these Spirit Fruits for my daughter in the future.

The Lion scratched his purple hair, deep in thought.

"Let's wait for the results!" Lin Qing Lin Qi's somewhat sad expression.

Once evolution begins, it cannot be stopped, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain. There's nothing they can do to help now; the only thing they can do is ensure that Medusa's evolution is undisturbed.
