Chapter 817: Collective Evolution (4)

So many tails, and they’re getting longer and longer.

Mingxi pondered, is Lan Yue going to evolve into a Nine-tailed Fox?

That’s not right either.

To maintain the balance of ice and fire, its tails have always been an even number.

Will it become a hundred tails if it continues to evolve?

Budweiser, a classic choice.

Feeling Chi He’s sharp gaze, Mingxi broke into a cold sweat; she had been led astray by Little Silver Flower.

But she could multitask and wouldn’t mess things up, really.

“Ling Ling.”

I’ll go help Little Silver Flower and the others.

The thoughtful Lan Yue helped its Beast Tamers out of a predicament and immediately joined the guard team.

With Lan Yue joining, the already strained battle situation in front was greatly alleviated.

Emerald Green retreated from the front line again; it was truly worried about leaving Little Human alone on the platform.

Either it or Chi He had to stay by her side for them to feel at ease. If Little Silver Flower hadn’t been distracted just now, it wouldn’t have left the platform at all!

“As!”

Another two minutes passed.

Black Pearl, in its new form, threw itself into Mingxi’s arms, and Mingxi instinctively hugged it.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

With the successful evolution, the physical changes brought by the evolution fever had been completely assimilated.

Presumably because it awakened the Ghost-type, Black Pearl did not, unlike other male Mermaids, constantly expand its body size as its strength increased.

Its body size change was really not significant.

The fish was still that fish.

But have you ever seen a fish with two such large wings on its head?

Actually, they weren’t wings, but fins derived from its ears. It was just that their proportion was so large that they looked like a pair of wings.

Its ear fins were overall sky blue, but the base of the ears flowed with a faint black, as if intertwined with black hair.

Three reddish-gold gems grew on the part connecting its forehead to the top of its skull. The largest one was in the center, rhomboid in shape, half on the forehead and half on the top of the head, surrounded by black hair.

The other two were round, only one-third the size of the rhomboid gem, and were fully embedded in the forehead area, close to the hairline.

Looking at these three gems, which clearly looked quite valuable, Mingxi silently sighed, Transcendent creatures really love to grow gems on themselves.

Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, and Chi He all had them to varying degrees, and now Black Pearl had also entered the gem club.

Was it because of the names she gave them?

Ahem.

Whatever the reason.

As long as it looked good.

Mingxi, the appearance-obsessed, felt no pressure.

In addition to the obvious changes on its head, its fish tail also changed, most notably becoming thicker and longer.

Mingxi had measured Black Pearl’s height before; its total height was 1.88 meters, with the upper body (head to waist) being 0.72 meters and the lower body being 1.12 meters.

This was very close to the golden ratio of a normal human male, but don’t forget it was a Mermaid, so this ratio wasn’t truly perfect.

But now, its upper body showed no signs of growth, while its lower body clearly exceeded 1.5 meters, and its hip circumference also changed from the original 85cm to nearly a hundred now.

Don’t ask her how she knew.

Just assume her eyes were rulers.

The Advanced Level form had clearly entered maturity; its face was still that of a youth, but its body exuded the tension of a male.

Alas.

It was still a baby!

This was the downside of Transcendent creatures; once they evolved, their bodies would also grow rapidly, completely disregarding scientific principles.

“Pa.”

Emerald Green slapped Black Pearl’s bare back. Black Pearl was raised by it, but it wouldn’t indulge it.

This was not the time for Black Pearl to pretend to be a baby and deceive Little Human’s feelings.

“Jin.”

Go help.

Black Pearl pouted, “Emerald Green is so fierce.”

Could it really not stand it being close to its master?

Alas.

Emerald Green must be jealous of it.

Mingxi smiled and patted its head, “Go help, let me see your current strength.”

The child had grown up, and was now an Advanced Level Pet.

“As.”

Black Pearl nodded obediently, turned, and leaped lightly.

Wagging its fish tail, it quickly swam towards Little Silver Flower and the others.

It was truly swimming; its posture had no relation to flying or jumping, it was genuine swimming.

It was as if the surroundings were not air, but boundless seawater.

“Black Pearl, is this... a new characteristic?”

If Guangguang could see it, it would definitely tell her that Black Pearl had awakened the characteristic 【Myriad Realms Travel】.

“Jin.”

Emerald Green was also a bit surprised. Black Pearl’s state was indeed different from before. After it awakened the Ghost-type, it could ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) also Float freely in the air, but floating and swimming were completely different.

“The young man and the good boy have both gained a lot.”

She had noticed earlier that Lan Yue’s Ice Wall could perfectly block a wave of shooting stars, indicating a significant increase in its strength.

Now, only Golden Yuanbao was left.

“Eh?”

Mingxi’s expression changed.

When the time reached 1 hour and 48 minutes since they entered Star Orbit, the flames of the wildly burning ‘sun’ began to show signs of extinguishing.

“It’s entering the decaying period so quickly?”

Is the lifespan of this unknown ‘Mars’ so short? Or is the speed of Star Orbit very fast?

“Jin.”

Emerald Green replied that it believed it was due to the fast speed of Star Orbit. Having just experienced Lying on the Star Track itself, it naturally felt the speed of Star Orbit to some extent.

Mingxi frowned, her expression becoming very serious.

“Little Silver Flower, Lan Yue, Chi He, Black Pearl, all of you come back to the platform.”

Although the four didn’t understand her purpose, they all retreated to the platform while fighting as instructed.

“From now on, everyone use long-range skills to resist the shooting stars.”

“Luo?”

What’s wrong?

Mingxi, “I once saw an unconfirmed hypothesis in the Silver Radiance Group’s database: if someone can completely observe an entire segment of Star Orbit, it’s highly possible for cosmic collapse to occur within Star Orbit.”

“As?” What is cosmic collapse?

Black Pearl was completely illiterate; there was no helping it, its birth time was too short, and it hadn’t officially entered the teaching stage yet.

Mingxi briefly explained, “Cosmic collapse is actually a mechanism proposed by a physicist. Some predict that the universe will stop expanding and begin to collapse and shrink, and all matter within it will disappear.”

This was probably also the main reason for setting the time for entering Star Orbit at two hours.

It was to avoid cosmic collapse within Star Orbit.

If cosmic collapse truly occurred, it would basically be a death sentence.

“Chi He.”

Chi He’s tone was very calm, but its eyes were exceptionally serious and stubborn.

It couldn’t accept the King sending them back to Pet Space again to protect them!

So it needed her assurance.

Mingxi was embarrassed.

“Luo!”

Hearing Chi He’s words, Little Silver Flower and the others also expressed their stance, stating that this time, no matter what, they would advance and retreat with her!

Feeling their emotions, Mingxi was both comforted and helpless; she sighed deeply.
