Su Ping achieved a breakthrough to the Monarch Seventh Rank while meticulously performing "Life Sculpture" on a "Life Embryo." After submerging the embryo in Life Fountain Water, it merged with a bizarre tree, infusing it with vitality. Finally, the Biyao Chunshen merged with the energized tree, causing a massive Light of Evolution to erupt.

Su Ping had seen Evolution countless times. But he had never imagined that such a scene would occur on the entity before him! However, Su Ping quickly calmed down. He didn’t waste any more brain cells pondering its identity, or the cause and form of its Evolution. From the very beginning, its appearance had been entirely beyond his comprehension and outside his scope of knowledge. What truly interested Su Ping was still that thing from earlier.

After some thought, he took out two items once again. One was a Magic Potion to replenish spiritual power, and the other was a remaining Life Embryo. After drinking the Magic Potion and restoring his spiritual power, Su Ping grasped the Life Embryo, carefully recalling the sensation he had experienced just moments ago. Even without the help of the Biyao Chunshen, he had to admit that the feeling had been profoundly deeply etched into his mind.

He took out an ordinary carving knife. It was his go-to tool for breaking down hard resources. It was somewhat similar in nature to the newly formed carving knife, so it would barely suffice. Su Ping exhaled deeply, and the carving knife in his hand began to work. Instantly, Su Ping entered that state once more. A sense of complete immersion washed over him, leaving nothing in his vision but the Life Embryo in his hand—a little trinket merely the size of a walnut.

Previously, with the Biyao Chunshen’s assistance, Su Ping had carved with extreme speed. This time, however, even without the Biyao Chunshen’s help, his carving speed hadn’t slowed down at all. Instead, it seemed to be going even faster. In Su Ping’s mind, once the continuous, connecting line appeared, it was drawn with increasing speed. At the same time, his hand moved faster and faster. If not for the constraints and limitations of his spiritual power, such carving—in the hands of a Su Ping who had clearly mastered it—might really only take a few strokes to complete. But even so, compared to the previous Life Embryo that had taken half a Xiaoshi to complete, this one took less than twenty minutes.

An identically carved Life Embryo appeared in his hand. Looking at the object, Su Ping slowly submerged it into the Life Fountain Water, just as the Biyao Chunshen had done earlier. This feeling, as if it had been awakened, made the Life Embryo brim with vitality. It felt as if, in the very next moment, a truly real Life could be born from it.

So, what exactly was the use of this thing?

The veins of Life and the route of Energy Operations—this was almost equivalent to creating a brand new Life. However, there was still a difference. On the Blue Star, what was Life composed of? Body and Spirit, or rather, the soul. It was just that, whether it was the former or the latter, they were formed slowly. And the soul, when the Realm was not high, was attached to the physical body. On the Blue Star, there were debates between the Life School and the Undead School, arguing over whether the physical body or the soul represented the true self.

Su Ping had no interest in participating in such debates, but their theories were very helpful for his current situation. The former went without saying: a physical body that could grow. If this physical body could form Energy Operations, then it would possess a Power Realm and the Ability for Evolution. And the Life Embryo seemed to grant exactly this kind of endowment.

However, during the growth of a Lifeform, a soul could be nurtured within its body. This was true for both Pet Beasts and humans. Even Mechanical Pet Beasts themselves were like this. Within the special modifications activated by the Gold Elemental Core, the Mechanical Core contained the mystery of birthing a soul; thus, a brand new Mechanical Pet Beast could be born from it.

Then...

Looking at the thing in his hand, Su Ping suddenly drew a sharp breath. But quickly, he forcefully suppressed that earth-shattering possibility. Because there were many problems, and at first glance, they were the kind of problems that couldn’t be solved. Thinking about this now was meaningless. Compared to such impractical thoughts, he would be better off figuring out how to actually use this thing right now.

Blinking, Su Ping raised his head, only to see the Light of Evolution before him slowly fading away. The figure located right in the center of the Heart of Spring slowly Floated into his vision after the Light of Evolution receded. He was slightly taken aback.

What appeared before his eyes was not the tree from earlier, as he had expected. After all, in his view, the fusion of three Holy Spirit Level Resources should have resulted in a Big Tree. But it wasn’t. It was a bizarre humanoid creature. It had human-like limbs, and even a torso and head, but its body gave off a strange, Wood-like sensation.

This feeling was extremely bizarre, yet familiar. Yes, familiar! Su Ping felt as though he had seen such a bizarre and abstract form before. Of course, he hadn’t seen this brand-new image of the Biyao Chunshen before; rather, he had felt a similar sensation from another Pet Beast.

At this moment, the Biyao Chunshen was not like other Plant-based Pet Beasts, nor was it like Stone Element Pet Beasts that used Wood and stone as their bodies. It was more like a physical incarnation of the corresponding Element! Exactly, it was just like Little Crow Yaya’s form! Little Crow Yaya’s feathers had given Su Ping this exact feeling. However, compared to Little Crow Yaya, at this very moment, the entire body of the ’Biyao Chunshen’ before him seemed to be like this, rather than just having a coat of feathers like Yaya.
