Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 474: Chapter 313: Materials Prepared (Part 2)

Shui Rui gave a wry smile. "No more than six similar Crystal Stones."

’So, Shui Rui paid a pretty steep price for my participation in the war.’ This comparison gave Han Ning a general idea of the cost.

However, that was only one year’s revenue. Generally speaking, a profit-sharing agreement within the Merfolk Sea Alliance lasted for about five years, so Shui Rui wasn’t at a loss at all.

"Thanks again. I won’t take up any more of your time."

Now that he had the priceless Divine Intent Seed, Han Ning didn’t want to linger for even a moment.

Shui Rui could see he was preoccupied. Maintaining a gentle smile, she offered him a bow. "I wish you a smooth and successful evolution."

"I’ll hold you to that."

...

That afternoon, Han Ning directed Egg Pancake to fly 1,200 kilometers south of Pagji Island, to an active volcano hidden beneath the surface of the Celestial Sea.

Egg Pancake’s evolution required a high-pressure volcanic environment. Although Pagji Island was surrounded by sea, the Celestial Sea had no shortage of active volcanoes. After a brief consultation with Shui Rui, she had given him the most suitable location for the evolution.

The other evolution materials had all been recently collected from Shuixiu City. Now... all that was left was for Egg Pancake to evolve successfully.

At the base of the volcano, approximately 3,200 meters deep.

A sea of scorching, blinding magma filled the space all around Han Ning.

He was currently inside a high-temperature, high-pressure lake filled with magma.

The intense pressure from within the volcano was making the Starlight Shield, deployed by Yin Yi, creak and groan.

And in front of him, a behemoth over 200 meters long swam silently through the depths of the scorching Magma Lake, every scale on its body blazing fiercely.

Having evolved from a C+ Talent to a B+ Talent Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon, Egg Pancake had completely shattered the limits of its Race. It had essentially transformed from a Sub-dragon with an impure bloodline into a hybrid life form possessing the blood of both High-Level Dragon Types and Giant Beasts.

It now possessed the unique Talents of two superior life forms.

The evolution process was also vastly different from its previous ones.

There was no need to swallow a bloodline purification potion, nor was there a need to draw a Spiritual Array for the breakthrough. Instead, it was a test of the Soul Beast’s own mastery of the hereditary bloodline information contained within the Giant Dragon Heart and the Divine Intent Seed.

You could say that sixty percent of this evolution depended on Egg Pancake’s own powers of comprehension.

Its comprehension of the Divine Intent Realm, its understanding of the Giant Dragon bloodline, and its awareness of the Giant Beast’s genetic factors!

"Egg Pancake, whether you succeed in evolving now is all up to you."

Han Ning took out the Divine Intent Seed and casually tossed it in front of Egg Pancake.

The Divine Intent Seed completely ignored the crushing pressure and intense heat of the surrounding magma, floating lightly to a stop before Egg Pancake.

"Kree!"

At this moment, Egg Pancake reined in its usual jovial and mischievous nature and became exceptionally solemn, nodding its enormous head with great gravity.

"Follow my guidance and pour your Spiritual Power into the Divine Intent Seed. Use the method I taught you for inscribing Spiritual Models to reverse-engineer all the information within the seed and inscribe it into your own body!"

"Kree! Kree!"

Upon hearing his words, Egg Pancake immediately complied.

Two dazzling flares of fire erupted within its pure Dragon Eyes.

The flaring light surged, enveloping the Red Lotus Mountain Beast’s Divine Intent Seed.

At the same time, the special Crystal Stone that housed the Divine Intent Seed was incinerated by the flames. All that remained was a single, red-lotus-colored spark of fire, burning on its own amidst the brilliant blaze.

Pulses of invisible Spiritual Fluctuation emanated from Egg Pancake’s eyes, shooting directly into the Red Lotus Fire.

Next, under the influence of Egg Pancake’s spirit, the Red Lotus Fire expanded with shocking speed, stopping only when it was dozens of meters across.

Countless red lotuses materialized within the flame before transforming into twisting red lines that streamed into Egg Pancake’s eyes.

As Egg Pancake absorbed more and more lines, the form of a fiercely burning Red Lotus gradually appeared behind it.

Gradually, an immense claw extended out from the blooming red lotus.

A massive creature—part dragon, part elephant, yet wholly unique—slowly emerged from the burning red lotus. It floated behind Egg Pancake, quietly ablaze.

"Excellent. The connection to the Divine Intent Seed is established. Next step, inscribe the Spiritual Model from within the Divine Intent Seed onto your head, heart, abdomen, tail, and limbs!"

At this stage, Egg Pancake was so completely focused that it couldn’t spare the attention to reply to Han Ning. But it had clearly received his instructions and began using its own Spiritual Power to inscribe the unique Spiritual Model of the Red Lotus Mountain Beast onto the vital points of its body!

"Kreee..."

Egg Pancake clenched its jaw as its Spiritual Power rapidly depleted, and its body began to tremble.

In the physical world, mysterious Runes gradually began to appear on its fiery red scales.

Its form also began to swell dramatically.

On its head, patterns appeared that resembled both red lotuses and burning flames.

Next came its heart, abdomen, and limbs.

By the time the flame-like patterns had appeared on all the vital parts, Egg Pancake’s Spiritual Power was almost completely exhausted, and it drifted weakly in the depths of the Magma Lake.

"Focus! Your body is now prepared to contain the immense power of the Divine Intent Seed. Third step: absorb the Divine Intent Seed before you, begin fusing it with your Body, and trigger the tipping point of evolution!"

The moment he sent the mental message, Han Ning decisively burned his own Spiritual Power, activating his Spiritual Surge Talent to bolster and restore Egg Pancake’s own Spiritual Power.

WHOOSH~

A steady stream of pure Spiritual Power poured into Egg Pancake’s Spiritual World, revitalizing it. It hurriedly followed Han Ning’s command, using its own Spiritual Power to draw the now-ethereal Red Lotus Fire into its body.

The very instant the Red Lotus Fire merged with Egg Pancake’s crimson Body...

BOOM!!

A terrifying, invisible shockwave erupted from the depths of the Magma Lake!

The entire lake, filled with an immeasurable volume of magma, instantly transformed into a vortex that engulfed Egg Pancake’s body.

Magma, heavier than any mountain range, poured ceaselessly over Egg Pancake.

In just a few short seconds, its draconic form vanished. In its place was a mound composed entirely of searing magma.

Yet this magma mound was like a volcano within the volcano, brimming with incredible Life Force. It constantly contracted and expanded, mimicking the heartbeat of a living organism.

’Phew... The only thing left is the most crucial step: fusing the genetic information. I hope Egg Pancake can hang in there. I’ve done all I can.’

Han Ning sat cross-legged within the Starlight Shield formed by Yin Yi and slowly closed his eyes. He continued to expend his Spiritual Power, helping Egg Pancake recover its spirit as much as possible while also doing his utmost to restore his own.

The panel indicated that Egg Pancake would need some time to fuse with the Red Lotus Mountain Beast’s genetic information. The rest was up to Egg Pancake.

Yin Yi and Fei Lin stood silently to the side, like two loyal guards.

...

「In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.」

The magma that had clung to Egg Pancake’s body had completely hardened into a charred, black shell that gave off a foul, acrid smell.

The Magma Lake they had submerged themselves in the day before had vanished without a trace.

The massive magma lake, a full 3,000 meters deep, was now just a vast, deep crater.

The bottom of the barren crater was covered in charred, carbonized matter, from which wisps of black smoke drifted upward.

Above the crater, a huge, charcoal-black stone sphere floated in mid-air, like a falling meteorite.

In a single day, Egg Pancake had absorbed every last drop of heat from the entire Magma Lake!

The enormous charcoal-like rock resembled a great egg nurturing life, pulsing and expanding from time to time.

’This scene... it’s a bit similar to when the Void Flame Fierce Lizard evolved into the Golden Flame Rock Dragon.’

Han Ning opened his eyes, gazing at the charcoal block before him, as large as a hillock, as he recalled the scene of the Burning Fire Race’s mass ascension.

That Golden Flame Rock Dragon had also been born from a giant stone sphere, breaking through from the Lord to the Monarch realm.

Just as Han Ning was admiring this strange masterpiece of life, cracks began to spiderweb across the surface of the charred, smoking charcoal mountain!
