Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: External Stimulus

Finally… it succeeded!

In the Endless Abyss, Chu Hao, as the manifestation of the world's will, had been observing the changes of all the larvae across the sixty-six layers of the Abyss.

Compared to other Abyss creatures, these inconspicuous larvae could, in some sense, be considered Chu Hao's "favorites."

At this moment, the larvae that had spread across the entire Endless Abyss had begun a new journey of evolution.

In addition to retaining extreme adaptability, the constraints from their second evolution had also been removed.

From the early stages, their bodies grew larger, more feral, and they had a higher probability of attacking other Abyss creatures.

Chu Hao even observed that some larvae, without natural predators, had already grown to the size of mountains!

Of course, the weakly-born ones still could not escape the fate of the bottom of the food chain for the time being.

After all, in the Endless Abyss, the number of strong and ruthless predators was still overwhelmingly high.

However, this unequal situation was rapidly changing!

More and more larvae, by chance, absorbed the genes of powerful creatures, quickly becoming stronger.

During this process, they would actively seek out stronger creatures, kill them, and acquire their power.

A newly strong race was emerging in the Endless Abyss.

Given time, with the ability to evolve multiple times, these races that Chu Hao placed high hopes on would eventually reshape the Abyss's species composition.

At the same time, with time accelerated a hundred or thousandfold and accompanied by the black-red vortex capable of twisting bloodlines, everything in the Endless Abyss began to change rapidly!

The most obvious change was among the ordinary Abyss creatures.

After absorbing a large amount of life essence from dragon blood warriors, the Abyss's species began a massive and chaotic evolutionary feast.

Many creatures spontaneously imitated the powerful dragon blood warriors, attempting to trace their own bloodlines!

Some benefited from Dylan and other "alien" races invading the Abyss as a large army, bringing various opportunities.

As a unique dragon-blooded race, some were offspring of dragons and lizards, inheriting many lizard traits.

Some were hybrids of dragons and beasts, possessing the abilities of ordinary beasts from the outside world.

Others were aquatic, some human, and some were unique insects…

In short, this chaotic yet interesting bloodline was a boon for Chu Hao's Endless Abyss!

One of the things the Abyss lacked most was external bloodline stimulation.

Whether lizard, beast, or fish…

Many life traits unique to the outside world were difficult to naturally evolve in the twisted and terrifying environment of the Abyss.

For example, the life forms of fish adapted to the ocean.

The "fish" in the Endless Abyss were barely fish.

Most were just twisted monsters adapted to toxic water and acidic mist, struggling to breathe in water due to the poisonous elements within.

Their appearance was far from real fish—at best, only vaguely reminiscent.

Twisted bones, deformed limbs, lumps sensing vibrations in the mud…

Most of the time, they hid in toxic waters, waiting for unlucky creatures to pass, dragging them in to drown and consume.

The infusion of external fish bloodlines greatly improved this situation.

Though their current form was still far from true fish, the presence of gills and other organs allowed many species to tentatively explore underwater.

The most outstanding among them was a species Chu Hao discovered by chance, which he named "Abyss Leviathan," a colossal predator!

Each Leviathan could seemingly dominate an entire ocean, and with abundant food, their size would continue to grow!

Even within the Abyss's oceans, this creature was top-tier.

Moreover…

Increasing numbers of creatures, including larvae, began growing various types of scales.

As these scales appeared, due to the extreme chaos of the Abyss, they mutated into special variants.

Some scales were harder than dragon scales, some could bend light to allow temporary invisibility, and some granted magical immunity.

A small portion of creatures even shifted to more stable oviparity.

With eggs, their bloodline mutations remained controllable.

This also allowed these opportunistic creatures to expand their numbers to some extent.

These changes were only a tiny part of the vast transformations in the Endless Abyss!

More Abyss creatures, after tasting the blood and flesh of external life, became increasingly greedy.

Those unique abilities and special souls irresistibly attracted them!

This could be called the first true surge in creature numbers across the entire Endless Abyss.

Soon…

Seeing this, Chu Hao nodded.

"This scene finally resembles the Abyss environment I remember!"

"It seems that with a few more waves of alien races, the evolution speed of the Abyss will further accelerate."

"Perhaps, if possible, I could even consider letting the Abyss take the initiative to strike…"

Sensing Chu Hao's thoughts, countless Abyss creatures lifted their heads.

They collectively expressed…

the desire to invade other worlds!

Meanwhile, while Chu Hao observed the changes in his world.

At Tianding University, elsewhere.

Vice President Wang Zhi's location—Tianding University President's Office!

Seeing the thick dust on the office door handle, Wang Zhi frowned.

Behind this door was the most powerful person in the university, who had not appeared for years and had been perfecting her world's rules.

She herself had said, not to disturb her unless necessary.

But…

"Although I feel impulsive, I can no longer hesitate!"

After much deliberation, Wang Zhi raised his hand.

"The President has been stuck at a key point in perfecting the cosmic cycle, and the trickiest part is the intelligence on low-dimensional worlds…"

He knocked on the office door.

"Regardless of whether Chu Hao's low-dimensional world succeeds, as a rare genius, he has at least opened a truly new path for me!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive knocks echoed down the silent corridor.

Wang Zhi held his breath nervously…

After an unknown interval, a long sigh came from behind the door.

Sigh…

It expressed so much.

Regret, unwillingness, and remorse.

"I am Wang Zhi, President…"

Before Wang Zhi could finish, the door opened on its own.

Upon entering, he heard faint and eternal singing.

A blonde woman in a white vintage Daoist robe floated in meditation, behind her her divine realm world.

A magnificent divine world with hundreds of floating planets!

"Primordial and Supreme, formless and shapeless… Who knows heavy from clear, who discerns light from pure?"

From this world came a supreme, gentle voice representing the dawn of creation.

The divine world gradually dissolved into chaos with the fading song.

Planets shattered, galaxies collapsed.

Everything mixed together like hot soup!

Rules, elements…

Everything was like primordial chaos.

"I divide light and dark within chaos… Heaven gains strength, Earth attains stability."

As the song continued, the divine world rapidly reformed; light matter rose, heavy matter sank…

Vanish into nothingness!

In an instant, the divine world collapsed.

Everything was like a dream.

The blonde woman opened her eyes and looked at Wang Zhi.

"Wang… Zhi"

"…long time… no see."

Her eyes—

One pupil shone like a star, the other was as deep as a black hole.
