Never let the reins of a high-tier being slip—this is the lesson learned from the destruction of countless worlds.
"I underestimated him."
"...He is far more dangerous than us, we should tighten his reins."
"He’s too young... Don’t let him cross any boundaries at will."
While Lu Ping’an was observing the "virus", someone was also watching him.
He’s too important... Lin Nu and those Quasi-Gods from the Eastern Country are the ones who truly recognize his value.
Now the output of professionals is seven times what it was a year ago, which is still the production limit of the "New Holy Land", not the upper limit of the burgeoning social demand.
And the high-level transcendents have the opportunity to breakthrough, able to remove "a part" of themselves for harmless trade. The principle of "equal trade" in the world is more terrifying than anyone could have imagined, enabling a significant number of top combat powers to seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance for advancement.
As for his combat ability... Whether it’s the Eastern Country or the Pan-Human Front, Deities are not scarce, let alone a young seventh or eighth order.
Naturally, his actions also received more attention... Even with a certain degree of undying-nature, there’s still concern about the possibility of being targeted by specific abilities and getting killed.
The big shots paying attention to Lu Ping’an doesn’t mean their true bodies have followed him; at their level, just a clone is sufficient to watch over him.
What they are concerned about is the situation where Lu Ping’an is besieged; then they will hasten to support him.
Such degree of "surveillance" is already considered preferential treatment.
For those who are monitoring Lu Ping’an, his "little gifts" are not a secret... especially since the materials he used were provided by them.
"...Indeed, we still underestimated him."
While Lu Ping’an grows quickly, the Life system is actually the hardest profession to improve. Normally, it’s a profession that relies on the accumulation of knowledge for late development, requiring time for academic achievement.
Lu Ping’an’s growth is actually based on cheating... His knowledge of Taboo is quite mysterious, probably even he himself couldn’t fully explain it, but the keystones of it clearly come from the legacy of another Quasi-God.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but after all, it’s someone else’s... Even the Quasi-Gods who are optimistic about Lu Ping’an don’t think this will be a short-term affair.
That "knowledge" requires learning and understanding; it needs to be turned into actual results through projects; it also demands setting up production lines and experimental fields so that research can materialize.
The ability and process of "applying knowledge" are the foundations of the Life system. They can reverse life and death, create life, and transform the world... but all of this requires the process of "using knowledge to change reality," adequate erudition, and wisdom, as well as the technique and execution to turn ideas into reality.
This isn’t a problem that can be resolved by merely having a high occupation level, and another reason they are optimistic about Lu Ping’an is the Balance Disaster Beast that accompanies him, constantly offering teachings... And the Lamp Tree has proven his talent and ability in creation, showing he has the potential to grow further—everything just needs time.
In fact, in the circle of the top-tier, nobody dares to look down on the current Lu Ping’an.
Because Life system professionals typically serve as logistics support early on, accumulating knowledge and achievements.
Combat? Just a few research findings are enough to handle most battlefields. Those who are truly obsessed with combat to the point of blinding themselves for the Life system often cut off their growth potential, which is a short-sighted approach.
If you devote attention and spirit to research, naturally countless achievements can be utilized for combat... Furthermore, establishing research teams or even playing capital operations allows numerous lower-level Life system beings to become part of your research system, accelerating the birth of results and potentially advancing even while resting.
Lu Ping’an has great potential, as long as he makes up his lessons, he can truly become a part of the top-tier beings... In fact, the individuals in this circle don’t care much about so-called deification, for them it’s just a choice of possibilities, preferring to maintain this possibility and continue to accumulate their achievements is far better than being lonely and drifting in the sky.
True Gods might be powerful, but what they can accomplish isn’t necessarily more than what a Quasi-God can achieve.
"...If I’m not mistaken, he has the ability to create ’Chaos Creations,’ no, it’s the stacking and compatibility of factors, actively inducing mutations is just a precursor, what’s important is that he accelerates the iterative process, directly fusing different species together to produce offspring..."
Lu Ping’an’s abilities seem to have been seen through..... but whether or not they have been isn’t actually important. Many abilities are quite simple based on fundamental principles, but outsiders will never be able to achieve them.
"Grafting.....it could also be called a Beast Tamer’s ’breeding’, but he can directly produce the outcomes....."
This ability of Lu Ping’an is simple and pure, most Life system professionals actually possess similar abilities, but this "accelerated" process is captivating.
After all, researching superior grain seeds, superior animal subspecies and the like, in the end, is also a combination of genes, a process of continuous mating and iteration. But perhaps this simple procedure needs to be repeated dozens of times and take decades to obtain preliminary results.... and all of this, in the hands of Lu Ping’an, is achieved instantaneously.
What’s saved is not only the time and resources for producing results but rather the savings are in the waiting, the cost of going down the wrong path.....Normally, ninety-nine percent of trial and research directions turn out wrong, and the most painful aspect is that you might have already spent twenty years before you confirm the error.
Some researchers succeed, even if they are hard-working and talented, it still requires enough luck.....perhaps his classmate is more diligent and talented but wasted thirty years of youth on the wrong direction, ultimately achieving nothing.
"This is also why he grows so fast, isn’t it? The knowledge taught to him by His Excellency Professor can be tested on the spot, with immediate results. Whenever he has an idea, he can also test it immediately..."
In a sense, the Life system is more like a large-scale academic community, where professionals may not know each other but at least are aware of each other’s research outcomes.
Although the Balance Disaster Beast is extraordinarily powerful in combat, her real fame in the world lies in the concepts of ’Life Fusion’ and ’Life Cut’....whether those avatars known as sisters or the Mother Goddess constructing transcendent individuals, both prove her unique advantages and accumulation in this field.
And these successes, even if Lu Ping’an were to inherit them, would require time.
But now, observing the ’Newborns’ directly constructed from those ’materials’, the Quasi-Gods realized that he has essentially mastered the Disaster Beast’s theory and the World’s Reason, able to produce results effortlessly.
At least in the aspect of ’Life Fusion,’ Lu Ping’an is doing outstandingly well.
But still, merely this extent, is still not enough....
"This virus or parasite seems to require oral ingestion..."
A virus that causes death only when ingested, even if highly lethal, is a negative point.
It really becomes effective only after entering the body.....such Lethal Drugs are too numerous, and how to get them into the body is also extremely difficult in actual combat, in most cases powerful opponents won’t allow you to consume anything freely, these Exotic Realm Invaders are probably used to fighting downwind.
Moreover, even after entering the body, it doesn’t cause instant death.....even if the scene looks as horrific as a horror film, but if one truly wants lethal poison, perhaps simple and brutal is better.
"Being effective against Decree-level beings and even Rule-level lifeforms counts as a bonus....."
But this statement, also couldn’t be fully expressed, as the first ’Replacer’ was discovered, and the scene suddenly turned chaotic.
This, is also a serious deduction, no matter how strong the viral and parasitic lethality is, once discovered...
"Indeed, they have started to kill the Hosts."
After the spread of panic among themselves, the successful Replacer was directly killed.
As long as all the infected are slaughtered, everything will naturally be resolved.....
".....Huh? Entered a new phase? The true danger of this virus, has it only just begun?"
"What is Lu Ping’an doing? Has he lost his mind?"
