"Evolution World? It’s truly an intriguing name."
The three layers of the world originally had no proper name. Some speculate it’s because "name" holds too special a significance in this world to be disseminated.
Even mundane mortals in the Earth Realm have rather ambiguous names for their regions and nations.
Lu Ping’an’s research findings and information exchange have subtly confirmed this is the influence of the World’s Essence.
He blurred the boundary between "matter" and "consciousness."
This is the precondition for all distorted and bizarre phenomena.
Matter and consciousness can be easily transformed with a very low consumption rate. Hence, even after Death, a Life’s soul continues to exist and re-materializes in the afterlife, forming what’s known as the world of the dead.
Cohesive consciousness in "language," "name," and "sound" serves as carriers of will and spirit. In a sense, they are also "matter," and naturally don’t dissipate on their own, thereby bestowing a series of Extraordinary Abilities.
"In this world, Divine Word-type skills should be quite powerful."
"Indeed.....but also deadly. Those ’words’ practically equate to directly stripping a piece off the Soul, gradually using them will lead to one’s demise."
In this world, the most powerful might be those Ability Users using "language system" abilities, which may enhance their powers a hundredfold, even a thousandfold. But as a price, they may have to "burn out the soul" in a literal sense.
This is no longer a speculation, but a reality proven by some unfortunate individuals.
In a sense, high-level Pure Scholars are not popular in this world, and even Lu Ping’an dares not use "laws" type abilities recklessly.
Much like local Extraordinary, using "sound" requires an external tuning fork, directly treating oneself as the "vocalizer" for Divine Word users, most will die quickly.
It’s also because "rules" are such an existence, and will not dissipate in this world, allowing Divine Right, rules, and World Essence to exist materially on the earth.
The authority lies on the ground; whoever can take it will take it.
Also due to the shattered boundaries between consciousness and matter, here truly with thoughts and a firm will, anything is possible... anyone has the potential for Evolution, but only the Strongman can house more will and progress further.
"In this world, even species aren’t constant....."
Not only can Beastmen types change, but with sufficient gene modules and corresponding abilities, it’s possible for ordinary mortal Beastmen Races to become Mythical Beastmen.
Rules and authority are abundant on the earth, living atop it, "Beastmen" are akin to "mutant cells" in the cultivation dish of a greenhouse; if conditions are met, continuous evolution is possible.
They inherently are indeterminate intermediate states between consciousness and matter, hence having more possibilities.
"Here is also a convergence place for Life..."
After Lu Ping’an arrived here, he wholeheartedly developed agriculture, because this world’s Reason itself is the reenactment of his World’s Reason.
Life continuously evolves, aggregates, eliminates, births, evolves, dies on it.... The final outcome is the Deity of Evolution and Its elite Family Clan.
In a sense, this world is a larger "Courtyard," evolving Life through its own rules.
"The saying of Evolution World is quite fitting, except..... it’s a pity."
"No pity, we’re already here, and the timing is just right."
Chris finds it a pity that this world has already headed toward dusk, and it’s unlikely for Lu Ping’an to carry out sustainable management and development here.
Lu Ping’an delights in this world destined to shine in twilight, where hidden, grassroots, inexplicable cores and resources are unlocked at this point.
"Indeed, just the ’rule environment’ alone made the trip worthwhile."
Demigods have more or less acquired some of the "World Essence," those loosened alternative World Fragments became nutrients for their rampant growth, while on Lu Ping’an’s native soil, being too "picky," he hasn’t encountered suitable "fragments."
But the fact remains due to Lu Ping’an’s World’s Reason, which itself is a kind of life union, his Demigod evolution equates to his Evolution.
Conversely, due to this collective Evolution, he has taken a significant step in the presence form of True Gods.

The Courtyard blended directly into this land upon arriving in this world, and it itself is also analyzing and fusing the world’s rules.
What Chris said is also correct: given Lu Ping’an enough time, he might even bring back this world’s unique rules...
"Bringing it back means little to me, but for a Beast Tamer like you, it’s quite beneficial."
Lu Ping’an finds it subtle, as a Gardener he hasn’t really done anything legitimate... The Life system itself doesn’t provide such gains for Wisdom Life ethnic groups, the more similar Healer is more about repair and individual gains.
Perhaps it’s because in the original Life System, there’s no Profession too close to Lu Ping’an, or perhaps as Big Cat once remarked, reaching a certain level in the Life System, Gardener and Beast Tamer fundamentally have no difference; both are just "Life’s Evolution."
However, the "Gardener" inclined more towards the spiritual side made Lu Ping’an less obsessed with the "physical," adapting better to the main body of this world.
He stands here, allowing the Courtyard and Demigods to grow, akin to a shepherd of the flock, and also akin to overlooking everything as the "Mother Goddess."
He vaguely senses what more is needed to go further.
In reality, he had already taken this step long ago.
"I need a Family Clan.... or a ’fist product."
Lu Ping’an is a Deity, he is the Divine Kingdom; he needs his Family Clan, his seeds in the Mortal world, just like the Fishman Descendants of Octopus, just like the various Insects of the Abyssal Insect Race.
Collective consciousness also requires specific individuals as the genetic backbone of the group.
"The Dragon descendants we want to create are not the true Dragon Clan, making a dragon is effortless yet meaningless, what we need is the Totem Divine Beast in Eastern Country’s belief, the legendary Fantasy Divine Beast pieced together by various tribes’ totems..."
"Adaptation is fundamental, we need a gene module with nearly infinite evolutionary potential..."
"It can fly, can dive, can wage war on land... I’m not saying it must be almighty, what I mean is it has the potential to reach the extremities in certain aspects."
"Life’s seeds, Fantasy Descendants, Dragon Descendants, they have the incubation capability solely in this world..."
Lu Ping’an has a plethora of Beastmen genes, and foreseeably, he can collect more in this world.
"He can grow wings to become a Flying Dragon when necessary. Flying Dragon genes are not hard to handle, but coordination is challenging; uh, perhaps we could refer to fighter jets instead of flying beasts..."
"When the need for diving arises, he can evolve a system for underwater breathing and scales. We need Fishman genes..."
From zero to one is exceedingly difficult; seemingly new gene modules are often combinations of numerous "components."
In this regard, Lu Ping’an’s progress is quite steady.
After spending a vast amount of Life-points, under the catalysis of a gene module centered around humanity, he created the new species, "Eastern Fantasy Dragon-man."
"Why not simply call it New Humans....."
"Uh, because I don’t want a civil war..... cough, cough, though a bit of meme, indeed it’s a factor; ultimately, heretics are always more hateful than the alien kind, better to start independently from the beginning."
