Chen Zhuo, who had a contract with the Blazing Armor Lizard, explained the situation of the experiment to everyone.
"It's feasible to contract Ink Fish, then evolve it, thus giving Common Species a royal companion!"
"However, the conditions are very demanding. That Common Species must not only consistently possess strength surpassing that of a familiar, but also have the will to suppress the bloodline of a king!"
"Otherwise, your family members might turn against you or defect at any time!"
"It's just like keeping a pet in an ordinary family. Keeping a cat is easy, but if you're talking about keeping a tiger, you have to think twice..." Chen Zhuo explained.
Even if that tiger is just a cub, it won't work!
Perhaps it can be suppressed when the tiger is a cub, but the cub will grow up one day and eventually grow fangs that can threaten its owner, which is still a huge hidden danger.
The Blazing Armor Lizard felt this way. Its genetic instincts sensed unease and the threat posed by the royal bloodline. It didn't believe it could control the Water Devil Beast. With the Water Devil Beast's resistance, its bloodline backlash caused its blood crystal-like Commander Heterogeneity to collapse instantly!
"Such high demands..." Chen Bo murmured, "How about trying my ' Chen Bo Courage Enhancement '?"
Luo Yu had no idea what Chen Bo was muttering to himself...
But Yu Wan already knew about Chen Bo's experimental results and couldn't help but say, "It is indeed a good method. He's bold, and perhaps it can play a role in overcoming the willpower barrier." "But... it's not a long-term solution. If his strength and potential are inferior to the Water Devil Beast, even if he initially withstands the pressure of the King's bloodline, the Water Devil Beast can still easily rebel in the future due to its superior strength..."
"Hmm... even if you raise it from a young age, relying on affection probably won't work." Yu Wan fell into deep thought. After all, even if a tiger cub is raised by a person from a young age, when a normal person grows up, seeing that huge creature weighing several hundred pounds would probably still make them feel intimidated and insecure.
The most perfect solution would undoubtedly be for the Common Species itself to possess the aura and strength to suppress the Monarch Species.
Only in this way can one control one's family members as one pleases; otherwise... one will definitely be constrained.
"How can Common Species consistently suppress Monarch Species in strength...? So it really isn't working after all." Chen Bo looked worried. Did that mean that allowing Common Species to have familiars was still impossible?
Even if you can initially use your life level advantage to suppress others, the Monarch Species will still grow. Once the Monarch Species grows even a little, the change in its strength will be something that Common Species cannot withstand.
"This is indeed difficult." Shui Wuyue looked at Luo Yu, even someone as monstrous as Luo Yu would probably struggle.
Although he knew that Luo Yu had already defeated the Monarch Species, it was two against one!
According to Luo Yu's description, it was only through the combined efforts of July and the Bee Empress that they were able to defeat their opponent.
If it were a separate event in July, there probably wouldn't be a solution.
"I see..." The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Yu and said, "So, the Abyss Trial is out of the question?"
Without a king's entourage, it's impossible to stand out in the Abyss Trial; the idea of Mirror Moon Island allying with the Orca Clan is utterly absurd. "Very well, I didn't have high hopes to begin with. Achieving a stable evolution into Water Devil Beast is already quite good. Let's end this experiment here," said the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, saving it from further bleeding.
"It's not over yet, Guardian God," Luo Yu said.
"The Dependent Evolution Method worked! The Blazing Armor Lizard has evolved!"
"What kind of success is this? It's at most Superior Species now, but it's wasted a lot of my blood. A lot of blood, just to exchange for Upper-Tier Common Species? It's a huge failure!" Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile snorted.
"Not failing is the crucial step," Luo Yu chuckled.
"Look," Luo Yu said, looking at the Blazing Fire Ice Lizard and the Water Devil Beast, "Everyone was focused on the Water Demon Beast breaking free from its familiar status, but the core of the Dependent Evolution Method —the word 'evolution'—has clearly been successfully achieved."
"Didn't you notice any key points?" Luo Yu smiled.
"What...?" Island owner Bai Ya was stunned.
"Have you all noticed that this evolved Water Devil Beast... is noticeably different from the last one!"
"The previous one was more inclined towards 'poison' attribute, while this one is more inclined towards 'ice' attribute."
Everyone looked and it seemed to be true!
I was so focused on the Water Devil Beast's rebellion that I didn't pay any attention to anything else! Luo Yu continued to explain:
"The reason for this difference is that the Ink Fish that combine to form the Water Devil Beast have different attribute talents!"
"Clearly, the differences between Water Devil Beast are determined by the talents of its pre-evolution, Ink Fish!"
"I have confirmed this conclusion through two experiments."
"Let me give you another example. If a bunch of healing Ink Fish evolved into Water Devil Beast, you can probably guess that the Water Devil Beast would most likely inherit that healing ability!!!"
"That is, Monarch Level healing pet!"
After Luo Yu finished speaking, everyone was stunned. So, the Water Devil Beast... can actually evolve?!
Good heavens... Doesn't that mean... Monarch Species with customized attributes?
In an instant, everyone realized just how terrifying the strategic significance was!
"Everyone, take a look at the changes on the Blazing Armor Lizard."
"Ink Fish evolves into Water Devil Beast, undergoing a qualitative change in its bloodline!"
"And at that time, it was Bloodline Dependent of the Blazing Armor Lizard, so their bloodlines were connected." "This meant that the Blazing Armor Lizard was also affected by the other's evolution."
"This is reflected in the fact that the Water Devil Beast has gained the power of frozen rock... and the Blazing Armor Lizard has also gained the power of ice."
"However, since it's not the main body, its evolutionary range is much smaller than that of the Water Devil Beast itself."
"Although the Water Devil Beast broke free from the Blazing Armor Lizard's bloodline control afterward, the evolution happened before that! At least it successfully evolved."
"Now that I've said this much, you should understand, right?" Luo Yu said with a chuckle.
Everyone was stunned, their minds racing, but Luo Yu didn't give them a chance to think, and continued:
"If I can evolve a Water Devil Beast that is more Rock-type, then my Earth Penguin will also evolve the Water Devil Beast's new attribute in the same process as this Blazing Armor Lizard."
"In this way, its rock affinity will definitely be greatly improved."
"And rock affinity determines... the extent of evolution for avian mutants through Ancient Evolution Stone."
"Clearly, there will be two opportunities for evolution in July!!! One is through evolution via family bloodline to obtain the Rock type, and the other is through Ancient Evolution Stone to undergo a reversion evolution."
"With two evolutionary opportunities and its innate talent, do you think reaching the Upper-Tier Common Species will be its final destination?"
"No!" "With the superposition of various rock formations..."
"There's a high chance it will evolve directly into Monarch Species!"
"In this way, with kings ruling kings, it can safely control its retinue without worrying about being turned against it!"
"Besides, I wonder what will happen then. Will there be a conflict Commander Heterogeneity and the Monarch Heterogeneity? Will I be able to contract another familiar?" Luo Yu wondered.
"So, the fact that the Blazing Armor Lizard can't control the Water Devil Beast Blazing Armor Lizard's problem, it doesn't mean my pet beast is incapable. Guardian God, the plan can still proceed as originally scheduled." After analyzing, Luo Yu looked at the Guardian God.
Even the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile was stunned.
Ink Fish evolves into Water Devil Beast... Water Devil Beast's custom Rock-type evolution route... The Dependent Evolution Method gives Earth Penguin the Rock type... Then let Earth Penguin evolve using an evolution stone...
Luo Yu actually connected all these research routes, creating a route that would make the Earth Penguin "king"!
"You..." The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile was somewhat impressed by how Luo Yu's brain worked. According to Luo Yu's idea, it seemed that there was actually a high success rate!
At that time, it won't just be one royal companion, but... Luo Yu will have two royal companions!
Two kings—when the time comes, in the Abyss Trial, who can rival them?
No, no, no, nobody knows if the Commander Heterogeneity and the Monarch Heterogeneity conflict. If they don't conflict, then it's... the Three Kings in One Body? Even the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile swallowed hard.
"So, you mean you've developed new experiments and ideas based on your parents' research?" The director belatedly spoke, recalling what Luo Yu had told him before.
"You actually started having this idea so early... and you even verified it one by one..." It seems we're about to take the final step.
The Yu Lei was taken aback. Just how far could this kid's eyes see?
"Resources are limited, so we should make use of all research findings," Luo Yu chuckled.
Luo Yu laid out his personally constructed blueprint for becoming king in July. The experiment on the Dependent Evolution Method, which was originally about to be terminated by the guardian deity, was revived. The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile asked, "Shall we begin now?"
"You can have as much blood as you need."
"Hurry, I want to see what that Lavabird will evolve into after evolving twice in a row."
Luo Yu said, "This might not work yet... There aren't many Ink Fish with Rock-type talents. I'm still working on breeding them, so it might take some time."
"Moji's dead." Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile sneered.
"There's nothing I can do..." Luo Yu smiled wryly. Breeding takes time, after all. Fortunately, the Abyss Trial won't be held until the Tidal Corpse Transformation, so there are still a few months to go.
Island Master Bai Ya, Shui Wuyue, Chen Zhuo, and the others were all looking at Luo Yu with disbelief, wondering how his brain could connect two completely unrelated studies, turning all research results into a means to evolve this little penguin! Beside them, Chen Bo, who had been gloating over his discovery of the enhancer, suddenly felt sorry for his Thunderbolt Shrimp... The little penguin, following Luo Yu, had a path to becoming king, while the Thunderbolt Shrimp, following him, could only endure daily injections...
"That's why I told Yu Wan not to rush, because I wanted to evolve a 'spiritual' Water Devil Beast for her, and I've been selectively breeding Ink Fish with stronger spiritual power," Luo Yu smiled.
Yu Wan twitched her finger, and the Frozen Body Water Devil Beast was suddenly subjected to even stronger psychic suppression... It cried out in pain.
"Sorry, I got a little excited," Yu Wan said.
A Water Devil Beast... She desperately wanted to hug Luo Yu, but unfortunately, there were too many people around.
"Uncle Shui Wuyue, don't be in such a hurry. Wouldn't it be better to give the Giant Strength Crab a better secondary attribute later?"
Shui Wuyue got excited too and patted Yu Lei on the back!
Good lad...
Chen Zhuo: So what happened to me? He suddenly regretted becoming the test subject...
"Alright, alright..." said the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, "So, it's not today."
"I'm leaving now. Find me again on the day of evolution!"
"Guardian Deity, aren't you taking this with you?" Yu Wan looked at the Frozen Body Water Devil Beast. "What would I do with it? I took the one before, and now I'm looking for someone else to take it too. I'm tired of it."
What did you do...? Why are you already bored...?
The remaining group stared at the Frozen Body of the Water Devil Beast, wondering what to do...
Luo Yu looked at Yu Wan and suggested, "Anyway, you raised these two Water Devil Beast. After they're calmed down, they should still recognize you. Besides, their levels aren't high right now, so you can control them if they go out of control..."
"How about we create an underground 'King's Training Ground'? Teacher Yu Wan, you can take charge of feeding them and developing their abilities. For the next period of time, I want them to be July's sparring partners! Through actual combat with kings, we'll make July disregard the king's might!"
"Great!" Yu Wan nodded repeatedly. She could use the situation of these two to study how to train her future psychic octopus!
The experiment on the Dependent Evolution Method came to an end. Yu Lei was still a little dazed. Everyone else had left, but he hadn't. He called Luo Yu aside and had something important to convey.
"During your absence, significant archaeological discoveries were made at the Ancient Grotto, thanks to scholars from An Yao."
"What is it?" Luo Yu had wanted to ask this in the office earlier.
"Mirror Moon Island is indeed the death ground of some 'ancient land overlord'... Scholar An Yao has found a way to connect with the memories of the earth's veins, to travel back to ancient times, and to observe the ancient era firsthand through dreams. However, it seems that currently only avian mutant beasts can dream of the memories of the earth's veins."
Luo Yu was stunned, remembering the dream he had in July! Could that be the connection to the earth's veins, a dream of returning to ancient times?! "How do I do that?"
Yu Lei shook his head and said, "We'll need scholar An Yao's help for specifics. It seems to be related to her ' Angel Dolphin ' ability. The Angel Dolphin's special ability is related to dreams..."
"But I just realized that those mutated bird beasts that Dream Entry seemed terrified upon waking, as if they had dreamt of some terrifying being. It must be because the ancient creatures were too frightening. I was wondering if your July could use this method to strengthen her will? After all, that was an ancient overlord, whose power could still influence us today; it must have been Calamity Species..."
