Chapter 720 - 390: Harvest and Enhancement

Since the Human Race couldn’t threaten the Dominator Races with its current strength, the threat must lie in its potential.

Su Ze tried to imagine it. What if the Human Race awakened its Racial Talents from birth, or just as they reached adulthood?

Newborn infants would inherently have "Evolutionary Affinity." When they absorbed their first tube of extract, they’d have the talent of "Skill Selection." They could upgrade and strengthen their own skills during the Extraordinary Stage, possess long-range "Evolutionary Sense" at the Saint Stage, and master "Skill Disassembly and Assembly" at the Legendary or Star God Stage...

And that wasn’t even counting other effects like "Genetic Introspection," an enhanced version of "Evolutionary Sense" (capable of scanning another’s Origin Gene), and other potential Human Race talents that Su Ze himself might not have even mastered.

Just the ones listed above were already freakishly powerful.

This was exactly the path Su Ze had taken. Ever since he’d transmigrated, he had digested Evolutionary Material faster than others. With the very first tube of extract he absorbed, he could choose his skills. He had even strengthened his "Regeneration Body" skill during his Pupa Stage...

Su Ze didn’t dare to imagine how strong the Human Race would be if every single person had the same talents as him.

While it was impossible for everyone to grow as quickly as he had or achieve the same things, it would still be an exaggeration to say the least. An endless stream of geniuses would surely emerge!

Although they still wouldn’t compare to the talents of the Dominator Races, or the Witch Race who could rival gods upon reaching adulthood, they would absolutely be able to rank among the first-rate races!

They might even surpass most of them.

After all, while the Witch Race possessed powerful talents, their numbers were few. The other Dominator Races had large populations, but their individual talents couldn’t match the Witch Race.

Such was the way of balance.

’But even so, it shouldn’t be enough to make the five great Dominator Races so wary. There are plenty of first-rate races in the universe, and I’ve never heard of them causing the Dominator Races to lose sleep at night.’

Su Ze mulled it over and came up with two possibilities.

First, the potential displayed by the Human Race was too great, or rather, the upper limit of the foundational talent "Evolutionary Affinity" was too high.

The Human Race was merely a former Dominator Race. Compared to the current five great Dominator Races, their Racial Talents were inferior. One could say that the number of races the Human Race had annihilated was far less than the number annihilated by the current five.

But what if the Human Race was allowed to continue developing, evolving their Racial Talents to the same level as the five great Dominator Races?

Perhaps they would truly become strong enough to threaten the other Dominator Races, awakening many more powerful, even absurd, Racial Talents.

As for the second possibility, it was just a passing thought. Su Ze himself felt it was unlikely.

That the extra skill slots granted by the "Divine Grace of Evolution" might also be one of the Human Race’s Racial Talents!

After all, "Divine Grace of Evolution" was inextricably linked to Racial Talents, so it wasn’t impossible.

But if that were true, Su Ze felt it was too ridiculous, because that ability was simply too powerful.

That would truly mean everyone could be a Su Ze, everyone a genius.

The entire Human Race, from top to bottom, would be like dragons!

In that case, it would make perfect sense why the five great Dominator Races wanted to exterminate the Human Race.

However, Su Ze felt it was unlikely. If the ancient Human Race had all possessed such a talent, they would have been stronger, not weaker, than the current Dominator Races. That would be too much of a "bug," like being several versions ahead of the game.

But these were all just his speculations. Whether he was right or wrong, there was no way to prove it.

...

Time flew by. Su Ze had no idea how long it took before he finished liquefying all three skills.

After becoming a god-level being, time gradually became nothing more than a series of numb digits.

It was no longer like his time on Blue Star, where he could advance a life level in a few months or change the state of the world in a few years.

After the three skills were fused, they all successfully advanced to Rank-8 God Skills.

"Gravity Domain" fused with the effects of "Bloodthirsty." It was now a comprehensive Domain Skill that integrated gravity, Sleep Poison, All-Purpose Perception, and the devouring of the dead.

Its old name was naturally no longer suitable, so Su Ze gave it a new one: "Domain of God."

Why this name?

Because it was versatile. No matter what new abilities he added in the future, he wouldn’t need to change the name.

If all went according to plan, he would eventually merge all his Domain Skills into one, which meant fusing "Forbidden Demon Domain" into it as well.

That way, he wouldn’t have to think of a new name. It saved him the trouble.

The effects of the "Ant Power" skill were also fully integrated into the "Self-Control" skill, upgrading "Self-Control" to a Rank-8 God Skill.

The current "Self-Control" was now a composite skill that included Liquefaction, expansion, Soul-Body Unity, all-attribute amplification, and attack effects.

Self-Control (Rank-8 God Skill): The soul and body merge, integrating offense and defense, and can reflect soul damage. Allows for free control of the body and soul within a certain range, granting both body and soul a bonus adapted to the current body size. Allows for Liquefaction of the body. Physical attacks carry a "Disintegration" effect, and spiritual attacks carry an "Amnesia" effect.

It was worth mentioning that this fusion brought a new skill effect: the "integrated offense and defense" of the soul and body.

Previously, the "Self-Control" skill only had "integrated defense," meaning the physical body could share the damage from a spiritual attack.

But now it also had "integrated offense." When Su Ze threw a punch, he could attach a spiritual attack to the impact.

In other words, he no longer needed spiritual-attack-type skills. His every punch and kick could be a spiritual attack.

Furthermore, he could now simultaneously trigger the two attack effects from the original "Ant Power" skill. A single punch could inflict both "Disintegration" and "Amnesia."

Speaking of which, because "Ant Power" had always been a low-rank skill and Su Ze constantly faced enemies of a higher level than himself, its attack effects had been difficult to utilize.

But now that the skills were fused and the skill rank had increased, triggering the attack effects was much easier. He believed there would be plenty of room for them to shine in the future.

As for the last skill, "Strongest Strike," there wasn’t much to say. As before, after integrating "Weak Point Attack," he had one less skill slot, but the skill’s rank and overall power were both enhanced.

Strongest Strike (Rank-8 God Skill): Absorbs surrounding energy and matter, compressing it within the body. Selectively integrates the characteristics of two other mastered skills to unleash a dual piercing attack targeting the enemy’s body and soul. Once locked on, this attack is a guaranteed hit, ignoring all forms of defense. After hitting the target, it triggers an explosion within the target’s body and soul. The larger the user’s body, the stronger the skill’s power.
