Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1060 Whisper
The sacred mountain of our ancestors has finally revealed its full form.

This magnificent sacred mountain has several stone steps leading to its summit.

These stone steps are all exceptionally large, as if they were designed for giants rather than humans.

Bai Pu and the others had to jump slightly to climb the stone steps.

As they climbed the stone steps, whispers seemed to rise from the depths of their hearts:

"Give up... give up... give up..."

The whispers act like hypnosis, and their effectiveness increases with height.

The three vassal evolvers of Kongming could only climb seven or eight steps before they could no longer withstand the influence of the whispers. They chose to give up one after another, and their figures quickly turned into light and disappeared.

They actually left the Holy Demon World and returned to reality!
"What a pity... We've come this far, the final link in the King-level side quest, it would be such a waste to give up!" Kong Ming said regretfully. "Master, what's with that whispering sound?"

"This should be the remnant of the curse power cast by an 'unspeakable being in the dark'."

Bai Pu said calmly, "Actually, this can be considered part of the test. People's willpower varies greatly. Those with weak willpower and insufficient desire for power will fail at this stage. On the contrary, you and the other evolved beings around you have performed quite well."

Kong Ming said with embarrassment, "I've also wanted to give up a few times... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for the next few levels."

This is just the beginning of the journey at the foot of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, you can see some building complexes, and there seem to be forks in the road. Further up, at the top of the mountain, is the location of the Immortal Throne.

Clearly, the group needs to reach the top of the sacred mountain to uncover the secret of the Immortal Throne and complete the "Legend of Immortality" side quest.

"There is a shortcut."

Bai Pu said calmly, "Kong Ming, I command you not to give up and to keep going until you reach the summit. Then give the same order to your vassals."

This is a pyramid structure controlled by the Source Lord and its subordinates using the Heart of Evolution.

The master's command is absolute. Even if Kongming is influenced by the whispers and his will wavers, he will continue to move forward because of Baipu's command.

However, the influence of pure-blooded servants on "vassals" is not absolute.

The relationship between pureblood servants and vassals is similar to the "master-servant contract" between the Sea Prince and his generals.

The vassal's loyalty is guaranteed, and if a pure-blooded servant dies, the vassal will also be severely injured.

However, vassals do not revere their superiors in the same way that pure-blooded servants revere their source master.

Kongming's orders to the few vassal evolvers only gave them another reason not to give up.

It has an effect, but it's not as strong as Bai Pu's commands to pureblood servants.

As for Bai Pu and the two witches, they could only rely on their willpower to resist the influence of the whispers and continue forward.

However, the great shaman soon became unwell, his eyes glazed over, and he tried to leave.

Wu Qingyun grabbed her arm: "Auntie, hang in there a little longer!"

Wu Qingyun turned to look at Bai Pu: "Xiao Bai, think of something!"

"There's only one way now... use pure blood."

With a wave of his hand, Bai Pu severed control of the two demon servants, freeing them once more. He now only had two demon servants left to control:

Spinebreaker Warrior, enhanced Hero-class Severax.

The leader of the Void Lurkers, the hero-level Roga. As for the two demon servants who were removed, they were originally waiting in the Ember Wasteland with the demons Severus and Roga, ready to be summoned by Bai Pu at any time.

Now that they were free, they left the assembly point and dispersed on their own.

Bai Pu also told the two demons, Severax and Roga, to let their two former "partners" leave.

He regained two vacant pureblood servant slots, and flicked out a drop of pure blood from each, merging it into the foreheads of both the great and small witches.

The two shamans readily agreed and quickly established a mental connection with Bai Pu.

"Huh, why haven't our templates changed? Only the attributes have improved a bit." The two witches looked at each other and found that neither of their levels nor templates had changed.

"Do you have any other, special feelings?" Bai Pu asked.

“Yes… I feel very hungry, but not the kind of hunger that makes me want to eat.” Wu Qingyun thought for a moment and gave a more specific description, “It feels like there’s a small black hole inside my body…”

Bai Pu nodded and said, "Pure blood can enhance the template because of the instinct for evolution. Evolution requires an 'energy source,' and the higher the level of the energy source, the better. Although you have now accepted pure blood, you lack the replenishment of a high-intensity energy source, so your instinct for evolution is suppressed."

Helping the two witches suppress their evolutionary instincts was a wise move by Bai Pu.

If the evolutionary instinct is unleashed, purebloods will immediately absorb the life energy of both great and small witches, causing all sorts of terrible mutations and even aberrations.

"Only by finding a high-level energy source can we upgrade the template?"

"That should be the case. But you don't need to wait too long... Perhaps, there is a high-level energy source right here on this ancestral sacred mountain..."

Bai Pu suddenly revealed a smile.

"You're making people uneasy, hurry up and give the order! Help me activate the willpower cheat!" Little Witch commanded her master.

Bai Pu coughed and gave the same order to the two shamans, commanding them to reach the mountaintop.

"Since it's the master's order, there's nothing we can do."

Wu Mingyue showed a helpless expression, "Continue up the mountain..."

The group moved on.

When they reached the fork in the road halfway up the mountain, Bai Pu and the other two were still there, as was Kong Ming.

However, none of Kongming's evolved vassals were left.

They all gave up climbing the mountain.

At the fork in the road, the whispering stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their minds clear again.

"What a terrifying whisper..." Kong Ming, now a lone commander, felt a chill run down his spine.

“Of course, this is a divine suggestion. I suspect that the power of this whisper was a major reason why the Immortal King Uvgagden failed. So many years have passed, the power of the whisper should be almost gone, greatly weakened, which is why we were able to get here,” Bai Pu said slowly.

"At the fork in the road ahead, which way should we go?" Wu Qingyun asked.

"Hey, there's a road sign here." Wu Mingyue walked over.

"The path on the left is a test of strength; the path in the middle is a test of wisdom; the path on the right is a test of perseverance," Kongming read.

“Be careful. If the trials on the mountainside are a unified checkpoint, then no matter where you go up the mountain, you need to choose a trial path... This means that Rosen's side must have chosen a certain trial path.”

Bai Pu said, "I guess Rosen chose the Trial of Wisdom, which represents 'spirit.' Now the question is, which path should we choose?"
