Chapter 612 Join the Glorious Evolution!
Several more years passed.
The final adjustments to the culture tank at the deepest part of the incubation pool have finally been completed.
Standing in front of the control panel, Jemin rapidly swiped his fingers across the rune panel, lines of data flowing across the screen.
The new incubation pool was not only the culmination of his research on lava mountains, but also incorporated the core bio-modification technology of the parallel world's wizarding civilization. He paused, pressing the final confirmation button on the panel.
The runes at the bottom of the cultivation tank lit up simultaneously, and the silvery-white light spread upwards along the tank wall, eventually converging on the fist-sized crystal core at the top.
That was another crucial modification to the entire incubation pool: the automatic extraction device for lunar energy.
It took Jemin three years to turn this from theory into reality.
The magic circle automatically extracts the power of moonlight from the Sulfur Plane of Purgatory and integrates it into the culture medium in a precise ratio, allowing each black giant in gestation to be strengthened from the embryonic stage.
The only downside is that it takes a lot of time.
The power of the moonlight is not infinite; the amount that can be collected per unit of time is limited.
Each time a new incubation pool hatches a batch of black giants, it needs to wait for a period of time to accumulate enough lunar energy before it can start the next batch.
But Jemin didn't care.
It's okay if the efficiency is a little slower, as long as the quality is improved.
He checked all the parameters again, and after confirming that everything was correct, he turned around and nodded to the black giant priest standing behind him: "Let's begin." The black giant priest pulled down the start lever.
The culture medium in the incubation tank began to churn, and countless tiny silver specks rose from the bottom of the tank, dancing in the liquid like fireflies. This was a phenomenon that occurred the instant the power of the moonlight was injected into the culture medium.
The embryo slowly takes shape in the culture medium, gradually differentiating from a blurry metallic sphere into a head, torso, and limbs.
Silver light points converged towards the embryo, merging into every inch of its tissue.
Its body surface began to show those unique silver-white patterns, which were denser and deeper than those of the previous generation of black giants.
Time passed while we waited.
When the light in the culture tank finally stabilized, a black giant with silver-white patterns flowing across its body stood up from the culture medium.
It is slightly smaller than the previous generation of Black Giants of the same class, but its liquid metal layer is denser and its eyes are clearer.
It looked down at its own hands, then looked up at Jemin, its eyes filled with curiosity, awe, and a dynamism never before seen in the previous generation of black giants.
Jemin mobilized his mental energy to activate the All-Seeing Eye and the Destiny System.
Their gaze swept over the black giant's entire body, and they quickly obtained the corresponding data.
As expected, his physical attributes were 30% stronger than the previous generation. His energy absorption efficiency was increased to 40% due to the influence of the moonlight power. The most dramatic increase was in his soul strength, which doubled.
Based on the advancement conditions that Jemin studied from Lava Mountain, this means that its advancement probability is a whole order of magnitude higher than the previous generation.
Moreover, although there is no specific data, Jemin speculates that the probability of hatching a Black Giant Priest in the future should also increase significantly. "Not bad." Jemin withdrew his gaze and nodded in satisfaction.
The newborn black giant seemed to understand, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of obsidian-like sharp teeth.
Jemin let it go find the black giant priest beside it, then turned to the control panel and began recording experimental data.
The new incubation pool was indeed very effective, allowing the new generation of Black Giants to "evolve," but a problem also emerged: the old Black Giant population was somewhat lagging behind in comparison.
He stopped writing and looked out the window.
On the plains, hundreds of millions of black giants are busy at work.
Are we just going to let them be eliminated like this?
Jemin shook his head; that would be too wasteful.
"Hmm... Although the consumption might be a bit high, the reserves should be enough."
He closed his eyes, and a brilliant golden light shone from between his brows.
With the Destiny System operating at full capacity, his consciousness, following the network of incense and divine paths, instantly connected with the souls of every black giant in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
"Attention, all!" His voice rang out simultaneously in the minds of all the black giants. "Do not resist."
More than 10 billion souls trembled simultaneously.
Then, Jemin began to mobilize the religious network of incense offerings and deities.
The racial characteristics of that newborn black giant were gradually stripped away, copied, and encoded by Jemin through the network of incense and divine rites, and then instilled into the souls of every old black giant.
This is what is known as bestowing blessings one by one.
The entire process needs to be carried out with extreme care.
It must not damage the soul structure of the old Black Giant, must not cause a rejection reaction, and must not make any mistakes.
The load rate of the destiny system skyrocketed, from over ten percent to seventy, eighty, and ninety percent.
Jemin remained calm, his mental energy pouring out like a flood.
Within the incense-burning sacred path, the divine power accumulated over nearly a thousand years began to burn wildly.
Every wisp of incense and divine power was used to drive this evolutionary process that covered the entire plane, engraving new racial characteristics into the depths of the soul of every black giant.
On the plain, countless black giants froze simultaneously.
Their bodies trembled, the liquid metal layer on their surface churned, and silvery-white patterns emerged from within, spreading throughout their bodies like a lit fuse.
Because there were so many people, the entire blessing process lasted for a full day and night.
When the last black giant finished evolving, Jemin opened his eyes, feeling as if his whole body had been hollowed out.
The load rate of the destiny system plummeted to rock bottom in an instant, and the divine power accumulated in the incense offerings for nearly a thousand years was reduced to almost just a few drops. He leaned back in his chair, panting heavily, but a grin stretched from ear to ear: "It was worth it."
More than 10 billion black giants have all evolved to the new generation level.
Their intelligence has greatly improved, and each of them possesses wisdom close to that of the old version of the Black Giant Priest.
This means that their efficiency in collecting incense and divine power will be several times higher than before.
Before long, the depleted incense and divine power can be replenished, and there might even be a profit.
After resting for a moment, Jemin sat up straight again.
He raised his hand and brought up a holographic map of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane on the control panel.
On the light screen, the distribution of more than 10 billion black giants was clearly visible.
They live in eleven main tribes, each occupying a relatively fertile area.
He marked eleven points on the map, each corresponding to the core area of a tribe.
Then he turned and gave the order to the black giant priest standing guard: "Build another hatchery, and then install all the hatcheries in every tribe."
The black giant priest hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "My lord, if all the hatching pools are dispersed, will there be any security issues...?"
"It's alright, even if it's broken, we can build a new one. Besides, if the hatchery can be destroyed by enemies in this plane, then it's not a problem with the hatchery anymore," Jemin interrupted.
"The range of lunar energy collection is limited, and gathering it together will only lead to competition. Therefore, it is necessary to distribute it to different tribes, so that each hatchery can cover an independent area, which will actually be more efficient overall."
After a moment's thought, Jemin added, "Tell the tribal leaders that the hatching of the new generation will be concentrated after each full moon." This way, not only can the power of the moon be collected more efficiently, but the concept of the moon can also be further strengthened.
