Chapter 719 - 390: Harvest and Improvement (Part 2)

Upgrading the Divine Grace of Evolution skill didn’t bring any obvious changes. The only difference was that Su Ze had a faint feeling all his Racial Talent Abilities had improved.

However, he couldn’t tell for sure if this was a natural enhancement from his increased life level and Origin Gene, or if it was due to Divine Grace of Evolution.

In any case, Divine Grace of Evolution was definitely closely related to Racial Talents.

The upgrade to the Meteor Impact skill, on the other hand, showed a significant improvement.

Meteor Impact (Tier 8 Divine Skill): Allows the user to capture and compress planets, storing them within their body. A maximum of ten planets can be stored and thrown to attack targets.

Before, he could only compress asteroids, but now he could compress regular-sized planets.

Moreover, the storage capacity had increased from five to ten.

Aside from his four Tier 8 Divine Skills, Su Ze still had ten Tier 7 Divine Skills that needed upgrading.

He already had a plan for some of these skills.

First, he planned to fuse the Ant Power skill into Self-Control. If the fusion of these two Tier 7 Divine Skills was successful, it would definitely result in a Tier 8 Divine Skill.

As for Weakness Strike, it would naturally be fused directly into Strongest Strike.

Finally, there was the Bloodthirsty skill... This skill had come from the Bloodline Crystal of a Nian Race Sun God.

The soul of that Nian Race Sun God was still slumbering within the Soul Nourishing Jade Stone... Thinking of this, Su Ze suddenly remembered King Mu. ’I haven’t checked on him in a while. I wonder if he’s even dead or alive.’

He decided to go check on King Mu after he finished what he was doing.

Returning to the matter at hand, Su Ze recalled the memory he had witnessed when he absorbed the Bloodline Crystal and obtained the Bloodthirsty skill.

It was a scene of that Nian Race Sun God using the Bloodthirsty skill, but the one they used was the Tier 9 version.

Although Su Ze didn’t have to follow that Nian Race Sun God’s exact path to upgrade his Bloodthirsty skill, it could still serve as a useful reference.

The Tier 9 Bloodthirsty skill from the memory was vastly different from the Tier 7 version Su Ze currently possessed. It was a Domain Skill.

All life that died within the range of the domain would have its flesh and blood energy devoured, regardless of whether he was the one who killed it.

This led Su Ze to wonder. ’Perhaps I can also fuse the Bloodthirsty skill into my Gravity Domain. That would give the Bloodthirsty effect a wide area of effect, turning it into a domain ability.’

These were the fusion paths he had devised for three of his skills so far.

As for the other skills, he would have to play it by ear and see if he could find suitable materials for their upgrades.

Having organized his thoughts, Su Ze immediately began the skill fusion process.

This would be another long process, and there were no shortcuts; no resources could be used to shorten it.

The higher the skill levels, the longer the fusion process took.

However, the Human Race’s Racial Talent, Evolutionary Affinity, seemed to provide a subtle boost in this area, making skill fusion apparently easier for Su Ze than for other races.

As more and more people on Zexing became Star Gods and awakened their Racial Talents, Su Ze had developed a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the Human Race’s own talents.

Upon becoming a Star God, the basic Racial Talent everyone awakened was the same: Evolutionary Affinity. It allowed the Human Race to digest Evolutionary Material slightly faster than other races.

Furthermore, as their evolutionary level increased, this digestion speed would continue to increase as well.

This Racial Talent didn’t sound very strong at first. But it was only the foundational talent. All subsequent talent abilities the Human Race developed were based on Evolutionary Affinity. With Evolutionary Affinity as the core, the possibilities were infinite, which was a terrifying prospect.

For example, Skill Disassembly and Assembly, Evolutionary Sense, and Skill Selection...

He suspected that these abilities he possessed were all part of the Human Race’s complete set of Racial Talents.

These talents were undoubtedly powerful. However, what Su Ze found incomprehensible was why the Human Race only awakened their Racial Talents upon reaching the divine level.

There were indeed some races in the universe that only awakened their Racial Talents at the divine level. However, those were all minor races with a single, specific talent that often only became effective at that level.

But the Human Race’s Racial Talents were all geared toward supporting growth. Awakening them only after becoming a god seemed far too late.

’What’s the damn use of awakening an ability like Skill Selection only after becoming a god?’

A normal evolver could no longer absorb extracts to gain new skills after becoming a god.

Su Ze felt that something was definitely wrong with this picture.

But even so, with Racial Talents like Skill Disassembly and Assembly and Evolutionary Sense, the Human Race should have been strong enough to join the ranks of the Strong Races.

Forget about becoming a Dominator Race or a first-rate race; becoming a second-rate race should have been no problem at all. So how had they fallen so low?

’Those Dominator Races in the universe ignore a whole host of first and second-rate races, yet they specifically target the Human Race. There must be something fishy going on, and it’s probably related to our Racial Talents.’

It would be one thing if the Human Race were targeted back when they were powerful. But now they had fallen to such a state, yet the major Dominator Races still refused to let them go. It just didn’t make any sense.

’They must be targeting the Human Race because we pose a threat to them, or at least have the potential to pose a threat.’

’But even at our peak, the Human Race couldn’t compare to the current Dominator Races. What kind of threat could we possibly be?’

As Su Ze continued to fuse his skills, he mulled over this question. Suddenly, his brow twitched. ’Could it be...?’
