Shares

Brief Summary:

"Humanity's absorption of Divinity Radiation was, in essence, a process of optimizing genes, renewing cells, and rebuilding the body."

"One Divinity Sequence represented one form of targeted optimization."

"Absorbing Divinity Radiation from different sequences was, in essence, interference with genetic optimization."

"In the short term, before advancing to a Celestial Evolutionist, using composite-sequence Divinity Radiation created the illusion of rapid progress because it solved the issue of insufficient time with a single type of Divinity Radiation."

"In reality, once one reached the stage before becoming a Celestial Evolutionist, one would inevitably get stuck and be unable to advance further."

"Because to become a Celestial Evolutionist, one had to possess enough Divinity Genes to awaken a deep resonance with a Divine Mech!"

"Although those who absorbed composite-sequence Divinity Radiation had plenty of Divinity Genes in their bodies, there were too many different types competing for their shares. This would inevitably result in an insufficient amount of any single Divinity Gene, making it impossible to awaken a deep resonance with a Divine Mech!"

"Unless those who absorbed composite-sequence Divinity Radiation were willing to remain stuck at the Advanced Evolutionist stage for seventy or eighty years, until they accumulated enough of a single Divinity Gene."

That was where it ended.

The content displayed afterward contained detailed arguments and data. Pay 3,000 Star Credits to confirm access.

Li Yi thought about it and decided to pay to continue reading the supporting information.

After all, this concerned his future choices. He needed to be more cautious.

Besides, he had just earned a million Star Credits. He could afford this little expense.

Ten minutes later.

Li Yi leaned back in his chair, relaxing slightly.

Yet the post's specific contents and data kept flashing through his mind as he sank into deep thought.

The arguments and data were detailed enough, and there were even records of tracking experiments conducted on previous generations.

By all accounts, the post's conclusion was correct.

"So it wasn't that one couldn't absorb several types of Divinity Radiation. It was that multiple types would compete for shares of the Divinity Genes, causing one to get stuck when advancing to the Celestial stage?"

"If this theory was correct, why were the top two posts both about the advantages of composite Divinity Radiation?"

Li Yi clicked in and checked the comments beneath Chen Dongyue's post.

"Thanks for sharing."

"A very novel and useful perspective."

"Let me add a comment explaining a cruel fact:

Ninety percent of the Deep Space Fleet's mech pilots, after matching with their first low-E-grade Divine Mech, could not match with a D-grade Advanced Mech even after becoming Evolutionists.

So, if they could not match with a D-grade Advanced Mech, that meant they had to either evolve their own mech or attempt to replace their Divinity Radiation time."

"Let me add another comment explaining an even crueler fact:

Within the star territories ruled by the Star Imperium Federation, there were fewer and fewer undiscovered ancient civilization ruins. Most people did not have the good fortune to encounter such a ruin during a voyage and use it to evolve their Divine Mech."

"The person above is right. I speak from personal experience.

After becoming an Initial Evolutionist, I failed when matching with a new D-grade Divine Mech. I had no choice but to remain stuck at the Initial-stage limit for more than ten years before finally advancing to the Intermediate stage through other Divinity Radiation.

A word of advice: Celestial Evolutionists were rare to begin with. If your talent was insufficient, don't indulge in unrealistic fantasies. Honestly becoming an Advanced Evolutionist was not bad either."

Li Yi continued scrolling and discovered that quite a few comments were filled with anxiety.

"Sure enough, some people didn't want to compromise the purity of their Divinity Radiation. They simply had no choice."

"Come to think of it, what determined a person's share of Divinity Genes?"

Li Yi considered it and had the AI search for what Divinity Gene shares were related to.

This time, there were not many paid posts.

The conclusions were largely unanimous as well.

That was, Divinity Gene shares were related to mental strength.

The higher one's mental strength, the more Divinity Gene shares one could bear.

This discovery pleasantly surprised Li Yi.

Unlike others, his mental strength could continuously improve through the nourishment of memory fragments!

"So compared to others, it might not be impossible for me to absorb Divinity Radiation from multiple sequences."

"Still, considering the energy investment in the early stages and the risks later on, it would be better to focus on increasing the Pluto Mech's Divinity Radiation first."

"As for the rest, I should learn more before deciding."

As he pondered, Li Yi temporarily settled on his direction for improvement in the near future.

Then he returned to the Pluto Mech's cockpit to meditate, sleep, and capture memories!

The next day.

"Damn, you slept all night in the Pluto Mech's cockpit?"

Cai Xiaodong stood before Li Yi, staring in disbelief.

"You really know how to grind, don't you?"

"It was fine. Mainly, I wasn't used to the soft beds in the dormitory. You know, I'm from The Humble Clan. I'm used to sleeping on hard beds."

Li Yi brushed him off casually.

"Fine, I can barely accept that excuse. But you're a noble mech pilot now. Enjoying your Level Two privileges a little isn't a bad idea."

"From what I know, our entire Special Selection Class only has a little over thirty people with Level Two privileges. You'd better make good use of them!"

Cai Xiaodong's face was full of envy and jealousy.

"Only around thirty people have Level Two privileges?"

Li Yi was somewhat surprised.

Cai Xiaodong explained, "It's actually easy to understand. Only one Rookie King each year could obtain Level Two privileges, while older students, even if they became Evolutionists, could only have Level One privileges if they hadn't obtained Initial-Level Mech Pilot certification."

Li Yi nodded slightly.

"I didn't look into it clearly yesterday. In fact, as a Level Two privilege holder, you have a free quota for high-energy Xeno-Beast Meat!"

"In other words, after training ends, you can go collect it openly without competing with other Evolutionists."

As he spoke, Cai Xiaodong grew excited.

"Also, your quota includes the option to purchase up to ten additional portions. How about it? I'll give you 30,000 Star Credits if you help me buy one extra portion?"

Li Yi was somewhat startled. "Thirty thousand for one portion of meat? Is this stuff that expensive?"

"It's rare, after all, and it's tremendously helpful for absorbing Divinity Radiation. Ten thousand is the purchase price, while the other twenty thousand is payment for using your quota. So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this price?"

As he said this, Cai Xiaodong watched Li Yi with slight nervousness.

Li Yi shook his head. "I won't accept that price."

Cai Xiaodong was somewhat disappointed, but he immediately composed himself and said,

"Was my offer too low? Sorry, this is the maximum amount my family can give me."

"No, I can charge you only twenty thousand. But I'm giving you a discount because I want you to help me with something soon."

Cai Xiaodong perked up. "What is it?"

"Help me investigate Zhang Xuqiang, as well as the backgrounds, abilities, and relevant battle records of the top thirty-five people in the class. Of course, Zhang Xuqiang is the priority. The others are incidental."

Cai Xiaodong's heart jolted. Li Yi was clearly about to make trouble.

He immediately slapped his chest and promised,

"Alright, leave it to me!"

A while later, everyone gradually arrived.

Chen Qiong Zhi arrived right on time. She swept her gaze across the crowd and said solemnly,

"Due to certain irresistible circumstances, I have decided to increase the intensity of training starting today. Everyone's gravity intensity will be raised twofold! Further increases will stack multiplicatively. Please prepare yourselves mentally. If you can't keep up, then as I've said before, you can be eliminated at any time!"

"Fang Tao, lead the warm-up!"

Everyone could see that Chen Qiong Zhi's expression was terrifyingly dark today.

Such a beautiful face had rendered the entire Special Selection Class silent in an instant.

Had someone offended Chen Qiong Zhi?

Li Yi muttered inwardly. It shouldn't have anything to do with last night, right?
