Leo marked everything from the development of Homo sapiens to their current social structure, as well as areas of research value.
Even mineral resources, which Homo sapiens never cared about, Leo found many clues in his extensive reading and has now provided them all.
"I have noted it all down and will immediately forward it to all the Stigmata Great Wizard. Thank you for the information, Master. The corresponding battle merits will be calculated after the value of the information is verified. Please return to the starship as soon as possible."
"I have some things to take care of, I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
Leo smiled as he hung up the crystal ball. He hadn't been idle for the past 32 years; he had painstakingly collected and pieced together a great deal of intelligence.
We've been preparing for this day for 32 years.
Even if only 60% of this intelligence is verified, it would still be a significant achievement!
At this moment, after releasing his senses which he had suppressed for 32 years, he sensed a large number of Homo sapiens outside his door.
Leo waved his hand, opening the office door. He looked at his colleagues and patients, not at their usual gentleness, nor at their earlier unease and panic.
The Homo sapiens had lost their ability to think independently; they all stared blankly at Leo, opening their mouths in unison to utter a strange, unanimous question, "Who were you just talking to?"
Who were you just talking to?
They would take a step forward with each sentence they spoke, and the Homo sapiens at the front row had already entered the office.
"You're talking to your dad."
Amidst the satisfying curses, Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder.
At the same time, Leo's appearance began to change; black hair grew on his head, his excessively long limbs retracted, and his six fingers returned to five.
In a short while, the Homo sapiens Lucas transformed back into Leo, a human from Earth!
"You are not a great Nilotites, you are an evil alien."
A row of fingers pointing at Leo resembled outstretched tree branches.
However, Leo did not argue with them; he simply kept tapping his fingers on the table.
As Leo knocked, a three-tailed animal resembling a fox appeared outside the window.
It was Leo's combat partner, Level 3 Benji, who had also been hidden in the Homo Sapiens World for 32 years!
"Lord Leo, Yaoyao Yao."
Benji, who had been waiting outside the city for Leo's orders, greeted Leo and Yaoyao with a smile. Although he hadn't suffered any attacks in the past thirty years, the mental anguish he had endured was unimaginable. He wanted to come and protect Leo, but he didn't dare.
He had been worried about Leo's safety Heavenly Capital, and now that he had finally received Leo's orders, he rushed over as quickly as possible.
"Stop them! Don't let any of them interfere with my next move."
Leo gave the instructions to Benji.
"We guarantee the mission will be completed; no one will disturb Lord Leo."
Benji swayed his body, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed from a small fox into a terrifying monster with shoulders a meter wide.
With a swipe of its inch-long claws, it instantly tore apart the Homo sapiens blocking Leo's path. These Homo sapiens who hadn't mutated were more fragile than paper in front of Benji.
Leo retrieved his equipment from the Shadow Space, donned the Godslaying Set, and followed Benji leisurely.
The colleagues who used to sit and eat together were now all lying in pools of blood. Leo could even crush those who weren't quite dead by stepping on them.
All the feelings and kindness that once existed have now turned into a bloody corpse.
" Leo Xi, if you return to the starship now, you could definitely lead an army of wizards to fight these Homo sapiens. Why don't you leave?"
Yaoyao watched Leo walk towards the operating room, not understanding Leo current behavior.
Leo turned around and saw his old hospital director. He grabbed him by the neck and dragged him along the ground toward the operating table.
"With the intelligence I provide, you're guaranteed a lot of credit. Before these Homo sapiens transform, I want to explore the mysteries of their bodies."
Leo still doesn't understand why these Homo sapiens can become mutants. Even though he has performed surgery on thousands of Homo sapiens in the hospital and collected so much data on their bodies, he still hasn't found any connection to their transformation into mutants.
In other words, these Homo sapiens physical data are completely normal Homo sapiens physical data, with no possibility of mutation.
Furthermore, due to their physical fragility, they are simply not capable of supporting such powerful energy.
According to Leo's calculations, let alone becoming a pseudo-level one, even a tiny amount of energy entering their bodies would be enough to burst them apart.
But the fact that they could mutate fascinated Leo.
Taking advantage of the brief interval between their transformations, Leo decided not to return to the starship, but to stay here and observe carefully to see if he could make any discoveries.
After all, there was a branch in his mind's eye, and Leo couldn't sleep peacefully until he figured it out.
"By the way, what's with the branches that appear when you plant your Life-Bound Tree?"
Leo grabbed the old dean with one hand while questioning Yaoyao. He explained that he had been controlled because he completely trusted Yaoyao.
Now that Yaoyao can finally return from the Shadow World, Leo must ask her the truth.
"It's nothing. Actually, that branch was meant to extract a part of your soul, but your soul is already anchored in the Shadow World. The tree's life level is indeed exaggerated, but it's not high enough to pull your soul away from the Shadow World." Yaoyao, with her pregnant belly sticking out, waited for Leo's praise.
He had anchored Leo's soul to the Shadow World, so any attempt to steal Leo's soul was tantamount to fighting against the Shadow World.
It's as if King Yaoyao saved Leo's life again!
"You are awesome."
Leo's praise immediately made Yaoyao beam with joy, just like a primary school student receiving a reward from her teacher.
However, what Yaoyao didn't notice was that Leo's eyes clearly flickered after he finished speaking.
Leo gleaned a piece of information from Yaoyao's words: the tree branch was there to extract a part of his soul.
These must have been seen by Yaoyao from other Homo sapiens. Does this mean that this big tree has the ability to absorb souls?
These absorptions are not the kind of violent, direct absorption, but rather a transfer through planting Life-Bound Tree as a medium.
Does this ability seem familiar?
Doesn't it resemble the otherworldly creature's ability that controlled the Tiger Beastmen we saw in the Tiger World Tiger World?
Both involve manipulating the soul and using the soul to transform the body.
Is there any connection between the two?
Leo suddenly recalled his discovery when he dissected the Tiger Beastmen in the Tiger World. In the center of their heads, he found a black substance from another world. That otherworldly creature controlled the Tiger Beastmen through that tiny bit of substance.
Leo casually cut off the head of a Homo sapiens, wanting to see if there were any identical things in the same locations of their brains.
No?
The first Homo sapiens did not exist.
Now that they were in a hospital, Homo sapiens were the least of their problems. Before they even transformed, Leo had opened the heads of dozens of Homo sapiens, but he found nothing.
"If the function of that black substance is merely to control life, then the medium through which Homo sapiens is controlled should be the Life-Bound Tree planted in adulthood, or more specifically, the branch in the sea of consciousness connecting to that great tree."
Leo understood that the problem lay not in the bodies of these Homo sapiens, but in their souls.
"Souls cannot be observed, so we must wait for them to transform and compare the changes in their state before and after to find the switch for transformation."
Leo pushed open the operating room door and took out the experimental equipment from the Shadow Space.
Meanwhile, rows of Homo sapiens who could only speak were brought in. Fearing they would mutate and refuse to cooperate with his experiments, Leo simply cut off their limbs and used magic arrays to restrict their movements.
To ensure that even after mutation, they can cooperate peacefully and lie on the test bench as the most obedient test subject.
These Homo sapiens are in the final moments before their transformation, devoid of their own thoughts, and proceeding through a pre-programmed process like walking corpses.
Benji stood guard outside the door to ensure that no one could disturb Leo once the experiment began.
Looking out the window, Leo saw the sky above. All four starships were activated, and a black river poured down like a torrent, spreading across the entire world.
Those were slaves and wizard armies who had come on the expedition with the Stigmata Great Wizard. They would carry the Wizard Will and punish this world that dared to defy wizards.
I don't know when, but the four Stigmata Great Wizard were as bright as the sun on the starship disappeared. They must have gone to seek revenge on that tree.
"Boom"
The entire planet seemed to tremble, and the utensils on the table even bounced in unison.
"Roar"
After the planet trembled, all Homo sapiens roared in unison, not only in the operating room but also throughout the entire city. These roars unleashed a wave of Homo sapiens transformation.
Under Leo's gaze, these controlled Homo sapiens appeared as if their bodies had been forcibly injected with an enormous amount of water, their muscles swelling into ugly tumors hanging from their bodies.
Their bodies were stretched taller, and even though Leo cut off their limbs, he could not stop their growth.
His bones were shattered, his blood vessels bulged, and pairs of hateful eyes turned to look at Leo, who stood to the side holding the Godslaying Staff.
One of the mutants actually opened its mouth towards Leo and spoke in a language different from the other mutants.
"You despicable wizard, you've been hiding for so long! I'll kill you!"
"Oh, it seems like the consciousness of that big tree has descended. Could it be that even four Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard can't handle him?"
Yaoyao on Leo's shoulder, looked in surprise at the mutant who was speaking; this was the first time he had ever seen the tree's consciousness.
