Lu Ping’an longed for a peaceful life... the kind where he merely collects a salary without working, simply signing in daily for bonuses.
"Oh, I am the boss, I distribute the bonuses and salaries..."
Such a shattered dream seemed rather innovative.
He did not regret forming the group, but sometimes when overwhelmed or bearing too much, he truly felt like retracting and becoming a salary-drawing idler.
"...In being less human, I am indeed a novice."
The data Lu Ping’an saw had many technologies not applicable in this world, but those "ideas" were in themselves worth a fortune.
"Some things truly do not change, like this old song from World War I I remembered, ’The truth lies only in machine guns and cannons’... Humans, no, intelligent creatures have never changed."
Sometimes, Lu Ping’an felt somewhat sad.
The primary measure of whether evolution is superior or technology advanced is to directly deploy them onto the battlefield to observe the combat power.
More tragically, Lu Ping’an also had to select individuals by this standard.
"Bisexual reproduction has proven to be a beneficial mutation..."
Although it felt odd, when members of the Phoenix Ape Clan really developed a humanoid physiological structure, even Lu Ping’an, the Creator, felt a bit uneasy.
Bisexual reproduction... or rather non-clone replication, is an admittedly harsh mechanism; it allows genes to freely combine and produce significant random differences in individuals.
Survival hinges on adapting to the environment, and if one cannot adapt, they are simply eliminated.
Yet to Lu Ping’an’s view, the Phoenix Ape Clan was even more radical; they directly engaged in bloody internal and external wars, and as warriors triumph in battle, their offspring tended to have a warrior inclination.
"Sometimes, I feel like I am a devil... well, compared to Chris, I am still a good person."
Sometimes, having a morally dipped friend around is indeed a good thing.
"...I didn’t do it; I don’t have that ability."
Clearly, this friend didn’t see it that way.
Regarding Lu Ping’an’s major flaws, she only saw them as affectations... and indeed, most of the practical decisions were made by her.
"The Newborn have evolved again; their lifespan is shorter, but there’s a noticeable buff in strength..."
The more unstable the particles, the stronger the power they burst forth with; in a way, these Newborn have inherited their Creator’s Talent, exchanging life for power through an abnormal evolution.
"...The average height of the New generation has grown another 10CM..."
Recent data indicate that the average height of Phoenix Ape Clan newborns is about 2.2 meters, with adults ranging from 2.5 to 3 meters (males are taller).
Four-armed and bipedal, newborns weigh over 200 kilograms, and adults can reach up to a ton... Their energy particles’ other aspect is significantly increased mass.
The more powerful the individual, the larger their size, and the heavier they weigh.
There are already evolution species over six meters tall, weighing an utterly illogical 60 tons... under such a level of Heavy-boxing, it is the pinnacle of physics.
This form of life, just by appearance and data alone, is a true killing machine, but merely at this level, they would not be qualified to become a favored Ethnic group of the God of Martial Fight... Indeed, that Deity, after confirming their Potential, did not hesitate to bless them, accepting them into the Family Clan.
Whether Fighters or Runners... These beings, once they move, are genuine monsters.
"...The Newborn are becoming less and less ape-like ever since we introduced what’s called the ’Human Factor’."
What Lu Ping’an did, the Eastern Country’s Xuanwu Plan had been done by others much earlier... they refined a gene module, sent through an "Intermediary" to this planet, and then received by Lu Ping’an.
"Don’t mind them... Their essence is still not of flesh and blood."
With the Official support of the Eastern Country, some tasks naturally progressed smoothly, not just "cosmetic," but also "cultural education"... They brought a wealth of film, television materials, and cultural products.
For those Phoenix Ape Clan members with a foundational knowledge from the Eastern Country, these artistic products were irresistible; as they became engrossed in movies, TV, even last century’s video games and comics, their "Cognition" naturally began to align.
Lu Ping’an could not determine whether their increasingly humanoid appearance was due to self-cognition alignment, the effectiveness of human genes, or simply because they were currently in the evolutionary stage from "ancient apes" to "humans."
As one warrior after another emerged and retreated from the battlefield, their terrifying nature was just beginning...
"Look, how’s my novice? I snatched this from a giant element troll!"
"Not bad, just a bit ugly... Eh, how did it turn into a human hand?"
"I don’t know, it must have adjusted by itself."
Such warrior data was pretty impressive at over 200 levels, but far from satisfying the growing ambitions of the Martial God Church to dominate this world.
However, their Talent... the Talent in "using Tools" has astonishing potential in this world.
As the foremost native Intelligent Race resembling Earth’s Homo Sapiens epoch, their individual Power was not the strongest, but they not only thrive in communal living but can also adapt to and modify the environment.
At this moment, in front of Lu Ping’an, stood a third-generation species.
His four arms had undergone two replacements; one was a medium-sized elemental beast called the Fishtail Scorpion, with a rather terrifying syringe now on the second arm on the right.
On the other side, was a troll’s hand... Lu Ping’an could sense that he might have also stolen the troll’s regeneration ability.
The life forms of this world are gatherings of basic particles, frequently gathering and dispersing... and with a potent self-will, one can naturally steal a part of another, turning it into their "Tool," which is the essence of their Racial Talent in "using Tools."
The Newborn’s individual Power is clearly stronger, but those of the second and third generations have completed two "replacements" in actual combat, significantly enhancing their combat power.

Finally, when their Ethnic group size exceeded five thousand, Lu Ping’an’s "field" could no longer hold them, and everyone knew that it might be time for the anticipated expansion.
Thus, as the Creator, Lu Ping’an bestowed his blessing upon them, a blessing from the "Black Flame."
"Eh, I can produce fire now?!"
"I can attach the Flame to my Weapon!"
Perhaps due to a shared origin, their Talent in this area was incredibly astonishing.
And with Flame... even parts of the Ethnic group began experiencing their own Flame Awakening; as these "Legions" arrayed out from their homeland, even Lu Ping’an had to admit...
"We seem to have opened Pandora’s box; I hope they don’t become a new calamity across the Plane."
