Chapter 147: Chapter 112: Evolution Theory, Genetic Radiation, Tier Three King (Part 2)

“But if an individual’s genes have already optimized and transformed to the point of no longer needing reproduction to continue itself, then the priority of individual survival is exponentially elevated.”

“The lifespan of a Tier One Evolver is four to five hundred years, equivalent to twenty generations, even longer than the existence of a dynasty.”

“As for the powerful Tier Two Evolvers, they can live for up to a thousand years; one person is comparable to a thousand-year family, just like the Li Family controlling Nongzhuang Village. As long as the Patriarch of the Li Family doesn’t die, they can continue to proliferate anywhere.”

“Therefore, the stronger the life, the evolutionary drive and purpose are no longer to adapt to the environment for offspring reproduction…”

“But rather how to perpetuate one’s own existence!”

“In other words, the true ultimate life should be able to eternally continue its existence…”

“Attractive immortality and eternal unwavering existence!”

“Adapting to the environment is just a part of individual evolution, and not the purpose of evolution.”

Father Su An nodded, very satisfied with Lin Feng’s additional content; this is the correct thought for evolution and the current direction of evolution, also involving the task at hand.

“Indeed, perpetuating one’s existence is the real purpose of evolution after continuous genetic optimization and transformation…”

Speaking, Father Su An’s tone suddenly became somber:

“In reality, prolonged lifespan, the so-called immortality…”

“Is already initially realized in the Second Stage of evolution. Tier Two Evolvers are fundamentally different from ordinary humans from a genetic level, they have completed the transformation entirely; their Tier Two Evolutionary Cells no longer have a limit on the number of divisions.”

“This implies that as long as a Tier Two Awakener has enough energy and a sufficient food supply, their physical body can almost perpetually continue…”

“But merely eternal existence of the physical body is far from enough.”

Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

He only knew that Tier Two Evolvers experience reproductive isolation from ordinary humans, becoming two species…

But he hadn’t expected that Tier Two Evolutionary Cells were so powerful.

Comparable to HeLa Cells, an immortal cancer cell from the Old Earth Era.

Originating from a woman with cervical cancer, her strain of cancer cells neither ages nor dies, capable of dividing indefinitely with rapid proliferation.

If the Evolutionary Cells within a Tier Two Evolver could proliferate infinitely like HeLa Cells…

Then Tier Two Life Forms should easily achieve immortality!

Yet why is the measured approximate upper limit of lifespan a thousand years?

At this time, Lin Feng keenly noticed the emphasis on the word ’physical’ by Father Su An during the introduction.

Compared to the eternal physical, undoubtedly there’s another aspect with a flaw unable to be long-lasting.

The physical body is Physique, corresponding naturally is one of the three attributes, the least eye-catching yet quite special and important one:

Spirit Attribute!

Realizing something, Lin Feng immediately spoke:

“If Tier Two Evolver’s physical body is already immortal, with Physique unrestricted, then limiting lifespan growth would only be the self Spirit consciousness!”

“Is it perhaps that after a thousand years, the Spirit consciousness within a Tier Two Evolver’s brain will wither or forget everything?”

Hearing Lin Feng’s speculation, Father Su An cast an increasingly admiring glance, nodding to help him add:

“Tier One Evolvers break through the original upper limit of life evolution, after absorbing Life Source Material, optimizing genes, extending lifespan upper limit, and opening up not just mere environmental adaptation, but a strong person’s path of individual evolution!”

“Whereas Tier Two Evolvers thoroughly resolve the issue of physical aging, simultaneously elevating life level further; Life Source Material within like a river, cleansing every cell.”

“But merely eternal physical existence is still far from enough; the biennial renewal and replacement of brain cells will greatly impact the evolver’s self-consciousness.”

“The most evident feature is the unfamiliarity with the past; due to excessively long existence time, you gradually abandon many things.”

“Parents, friends, companions, female descendants, until after a thousand years, your Spirit gradually decays, even losing self.”

“Especially to maintain a powerful physical body, most energy must be used for controlling physical power and sustaining nutrition. Excessive consumption of Spiritual Power accelerates the demise of consciousness.”

“Immortality unmatched with the physical body is like cancer cells’ proliferation spread, also a heavy burden.”

“Tier Two Evolvers often, at the end of life, become slaves to evolution.”

Speaking, Father Su An’s tone deepened:

“Therefore, Tier Three Life Forms, evolution purpose, and drive are to solve the problem of how Spirit consciousness can long endure.”

“And the solution naturally remains genetics!”

“If the brain cannot carry the millennium’s time, then use another immutable thing to record one’s existence.”

“Powerful Tier Three Life Forms, already beyond human cognition, their genes, especially the superpower part, elevated to incredible levels, even affecting other nearby lower life forms.”

“Through emitting a specific frequency of energy breath, Tier Three Strong Person causes nearby life forms, genetic assimilation.”

“You can liken it to some form of radiation.”

“The genes of Tier Three Life Forms carry their lifetime painstaking Spirit fluctuations, and once this powerful energy spreads, it will distort nearby low-level life.”

“Specifically speaking, just like nuclear radiation damaging genetic replication, when lower life forms’ cells divide, Tier Three Life Forms emit energy spectra containing genetic sequences, changing the arrangement and combination of chromosome replication and transcription within the cell nucleus, allowing lower cells to proliferate and divide, assimilate cells carrying Tier Three Life Forms’ genetic information…”
