"The power of war is making everyone evolve at incredible speed!"
By now, Lin Yuan understood exactly what had happened.
It seemed his previous understanding of the power of war had been somewhat mistaken. Things like forming battle formations to harness collective strength were merely among the war authority's most insignificant capabilities.
The war authority's truly important capability lay in rapid evolution.
This also explained why Minglong could use Dragon Qi to greatly elevate the slaughter authority. Presumably, that too was due to the power of war's evolutionary capability.
Of course, the normal power of war would not produce such an outrageous rate of evolution. The survivors were evolving so astonishingly fast now for two reasons. First, the Dragon Ancestral Land had descended right here, greatly strengthening the power of war.
Second, most residents of Minglong City followed the Slaughter Path, and Minglong had already spent a long time infusing the slaughter authority with the power of war and elevating it. The two were highly compatible.
Of course, there was another reason: the Chaos Monsters seemed unable to accept the power of war, so all the power of war produced was either collected by the Gold Dragon or bestowed upon these survivors.
"So 'war' is actually 'evolution.' That's a new discovery."
Thoughts stirred in Lin Yuan's mind:
"But I remember 'evolution' having an authority of its own?"
"The evolution of war and the evolution of the evolution authority should still be different..."
Lin Yuan vaguely sensed that there seemed to be an extremely fundamental distinction between them, but circumstances did not allow him to consider it carefully now.
"--%...#--"
Suddenly, an indescribable sound rang out, and a squad of survivors was violently sent flying!
It was that Great Chaos Monster!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The remaining survivors were already crazed with bloodlust.
