Chapter 3124: You Will
Rui’s eyes grew intrigued by the story that Anthea had narrated to him.
If what he was saying was true, then it was likely that the ancestors of the six races had undergone unique evolutionary pressures on the six continents that caused them to develop in six different ways.
"Over time, Anthea continued. "Our ability to enhance DNA continued to grow stronger and stronger as we began to thrive on the Moridia continent, our bodies changed in color as our cells transformed fundamentally, turning us into translucent beings as a biological trait. A trait that intensifies when we actively cultivate adaptive evolution."
His arms spread, drawing attention to his nigh-invisible form, detectable only because of the silhouette outlining his existence.
"I don’t ever repeat myself."
Anthea’s tone was intense.
"Yet, I am impressed by the power of your adaptive evolution," Anthea continued with a calm, graceful tone. "The fact that you have managed to reach this altar of power despite the fact that you possess the lesser body of an inferior species is proof that you are truly an evolutionary who walks the Path of Adaptive Evolution. That is why you will never be able to achieve the kind of adaptive evolution that I, that we, have. It is why you were covered in burns, and my body is unharmed still."
He gazed deep into the pitch-black darkness in Rui’s eyes.
"This is the truth, and you know it."
Rui remained silent.
It was unpleasant, but it was also impossible to deny reality staring him in the face. The fact of the matter was that when it came to adaptive evolution, his human body was vastly inferior to those of the evolutionaries.
