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

Chapter 1078 The Origin of the Primal Heart Tissue

"The mad Zen master initially wanted to communicate directly with you, but we refused."

Old Qiao laughed and said, "He's not in a position to negotiate with you right now..."

"What are his conditions?" Bai Pu asked.

“At first, he wanted to join the Secret Service’s screening department, but Lao Nie and I refused. Later, he said he wanted to become a ‘subordinate awakener’ of your pure-blooded subordinates. We were unsure, so we asked for your opinion.”

"Ha... I agree."

Bai Pu shook his head and smiled, "Tell him that after becoming a vassal awakener, he should think carefully before betraying others, because the backlash of the contract is no joke."

The two old men chuckled, clearly understanding what Bai Pu meant.

Bai Pu also knew why Kuang Chan had made such a condition.

If Earth were a human body, Bai Pu would be the brain, and Kuang Chan would be like a rejected cell within it. With the entire immune system rejecting him, he was destined to perish sooner or later.

Therefore, Mad Zen needs to actively align himself with the mastermind and become the mastermind's direct subordinate.

Once he joins and becomes a vassal awakener, it means that Bai Pu has forgiven his past transgressions, and only then will other people and forces on Blue Star be willing to accept him.

After the two old men agreed to Kuang Chan's conditions, Kuang Chan quickly expressed his loyalty, not only revealing all the secrets of the Xu family regarding the "original heart tissue" without reservation, but also voluntarily offering two related "flesh and blood sets"!
By combining the answers from Kuang Chan and Wu Yunzhong, Bai Pu finally managed to reconstruct the origin of the "original heart tissue" and some details of the events of that year.

About sixty years ago, Wu family patriarch "Hancun" and Xu family patriarch "Kongtang" were both peak awakeners and trusted teammates.

Their "Celestial Star" team entered an ascension plane called [Wilderness: Islands].

This wild, archipelago world has a moderate spirit particle strength, similar to the Black Tide world, at only 10.3. On the archipelago live towering ancient trees, enormous beasts, and savage, primitive inhabitants…

The difficulty isn't high; with the Tianxing team's strength, passing the Ascension Trial shouldn't be too difficult if they don't put in much effort. However, passing the Ascension Trial this way will result in a very limited number of Ascension Infusion Points, and it's uncertain whether they'll even obtain the Elite Template.

The Tianxing team was naturally unwilling to give up; they wanted to delve deeper into the secrets of the Wilderness World.

Soon, the team focused their attention on the ridiculously large beasts in the archipelago and began to investigate them in depth.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, the team finally uncovered the secret hidden behind these beasts—

An adult female alligator snapping turtle.

This red-eyed alligator snapping turtle is a mutated behemoth that drifted across the ocean from a distant continent. Its counterpart does not exist in the Wilderness: Archipelago world.

When the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle is in heat, it can mate with many male mammals on the island, from giant elephants to small sea turtles...

Surprisingly, there is no reproductive isolation.

On the island, so many large wild animals are descendants of the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle.

The Tianxing team determined that this female red-eyed alligator snapping turtle harbored a huge secret, because there was a large tumor below its throat that pulsated like a heart.

They decided to hunt this mutated giant tortoise!

The team's level 10 apothecary concocted a neurotoxin powerful enough to paralyze a whale, and then engaged in a desperate battle with the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle.

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle was currently giving birth, significantly weakening its strength. While laying a giant egg, it fought against the Tianxing team, nearly wiping them out entirely, with only two or three survivors. Among them were Hancun and Kongtang, the team's strongest members.

However, with the giant eggs laid, the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle also lost its last bit of vitality.

Its final struggle contained terrifying power, shattering even space itself! The tumor below the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle's throat also broke apart, with part of it falling onto the giant egg and the rest falling into the spatial turbulence.

It's hard to say whether the Tianxing team killed the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle, or whether the turtle died of exhaustion after fulfilling its reproductive instincts.

That giant egg was fundamentally different from the other offspring of the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle. It hatched immediately after birth and its appearance was exactly the same as its mother's. Even the strange heart tissue growing below its throat was identical.

Hancun and Kongtang knew very well that this juvenile turtle, which contained the enormous life force of the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle, must be an extraordinary creature, especially the mysterious flesh and blood tissue below its throat that resembled a heart, which was an extraordinary spiritual wonder.

If they complete the ascension questline and bring back this special trophy, their evaluation will definitely be high.

However, in the Wilderness: Archipelago world, there is also a group of uneducated natives who worship the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle as a god, building temples throughout the islands to house statues of the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle.

The Tianxing team killed the red-eyed alligator snapping turtle, and the natives went berserk.

It wasn't to avenge their gods.

If a god can be killed, then he is no longer a god.

The natives' target was the baby red-eyed alligator snapping turtle! They wanted to steal the baby turtles and turn the offspring of the gods into weapons of war for their tribe.

Exhausted, Hancun and Kongtang immediately decided to split up and escape. Hancun gave Kongtang a precious item that required life force to activate, then fled with the little turtle, while Kongtang stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Ultimately, both of them failed their ascension trials.

Hancun brought back a baby red-eyed alligator snapping turtle, while Kongtang brought back two "flesh-and-blood" puppets made by the natives.

However, when Kongtang asked Hancun for that piece of heart tissue, Hancun ruthlessly refused.

Hancun explained that his child had a congenital heart condition and could only survive with an artificial heart. Although the child could live, there was no possibility of him awakening in this lifetime.

He assembled a scientific team to study this heart tissue.

Hancun's claim is that he is using the amazing activity of the heart tissue to make it possible for children to advance to the level of Awakened, but what he actually thought is unknown.

The two families thus became bitter enemies. However, Han Cun was less seriously injured and eventually recovered, once again stepping into the Ascension Plane and successfully ascending.

With the protection of an evolutionary expert, the Wu family gained a superior status on Blue Star and entered a period of rapid development, even forming the Super Star Alliance.

It's not that Hancun became an evolved being and could return to Earth like Bai Pu.

Instead, it means that after Hancun ascended to the Silver Heart Great World, he could use some special methods to send some special items from the Silver Heart Great World to Blue Star.

There are also evolved predecessors who ascended to heaven on the official Blue Star, such as the "White Heron" predecessor, who initially had a good relationship with Han Village.

Influenced by this relationship, the Blue Star authorities have consistently turned a blind eye to the activities of the Super Star Alliance.

Of course, later on, Senior White Heron discovered the anomalies of Hancun and the Wandering Ark organization, chose to withdraw, and gradually drifted apart from Hancun—but that's another story.
