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

Chapter 1091 The Legend of the Headquarters Prodigy

"Maybe I should advance to level 14."

Bai Pu looked at his experience bar, which had reached level 13 with 100% completion, and his True Meaning progress bar, which had reached the third level of True Meaning, with 100% completion, and said softly.

For the past six months, he has been lying low, preparing to advance to the intermediate level.

This assassination attempt gave Bai Pu another reason to be promoted immediately.

The enemy must have smuggled themselves in from the Black Tide world. The maximum level for these smugglers is level 16, a seasoned evolved being who has gathered a great force.

If Bai Pu remains at level 13 and fails to consolidate his power, he will be unable to fight the assassins. His actions in the Galactic Heart will be restricted; he won't even be able to go to the Darklands, and he won't be able to participate in the military missions issued by the Gaia Group!
And once one advances to level 14 and consolidates their power...

To put it bluntly, even if he were to besiege three level 16 lord voters, Bai Pu was confident that he could kill them all!

Envoy Li Yan said, "Your main storyline world hasn't been decided yet, has it? You need to be careful. All low-level evolvers who advance to level 14 do so within their main storyline world. In other words, the world you choose to advance to will be forcibly made your main storyline world."

After a pause, Venerable Li Yan continued, "Once a deity is determined to eliminate you, they will never give up because of this failure. If you enter the intermediate plane, you will most likely attract even more and stronger intermediate-level evolved beings to attack you!"

"If this were in the spirit world, I wouldn't be afraid of them."

Bai Pu smiled and said.

Moreover, the [Wilderness World] that Bai Pu is going to is a "lost world." It's impossible for the chosen ones of the gods to obtain a large number of tickets to come and besiege him.

"Don't misjudge the strength of the chosen people of the gods based on the strength of these three people."

Envoy Li Yan reminded them, "These three are not top-tier intermediate-level Evolver voters; they are merely assassins sent out. As evidence, they don't even have a transcendent seed."

If the three were extraordinary seeds from the divine faction, they wouldn't have been killed so easily by Venerable Li Yan. Their extraordinary seeds would have automatically protected their masters and taken them back to their respective main storylines.

“These three all possess lord-level energy levels,” Bai Pu said.

Envoy Li Yan shook his head: "What is the power of a Lord-level energy? An evolved being who has enhanced a hero or even a hero template can achieve that with a second-tier dark gold weapon. The number of extraordinary seed slots in the God faction is very limited, so the voters who can obtain extraordinary seeds must be the best of the best, absolute geniuses, comparable to the prodigies of the Gaia Group headquarters."

Bai Pu nodded solemnly. The Gaia Group headquarters brought together geniuses from countless star sectors across humanity's territory.

There are definitely not a few genius evolutionists like Bai Pu who start as lords—at least Bai Pu knows that before him, there was another genius who started as a lord in the Silver Heart Great World.

The Galactic Center is merely the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

The Milky Way is but an insignificant speck of dust in the vast universe and the human realm.

Despite Bai Pu's impressive start and record, he did not receive an invitation from headquarters.

Judging from this, the human geniuses at Gaia Group headquarters probably have unimaginable potential...

Seeing Bai Pu's solemn expression, as if he had been dealt a blow, Envoy Li Yan quickly comforted him:
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are a lord template, a second-grade true meaning starting point, an extraordinary seed. In the past, you would have been qualified to enter Gaia Headquarters directly. It's just that Gaia Headquarters has changed its rules in recent years. The starting condition for selecting geniuses is now an intermediate-level evolver."

Bai Pu asked in astonishment, "The rules have changed? Why?" Envoy Li Yan sighed, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The prodigies at the Gaia Group headquarters are called 'Gaia Princes.' After they grow into advanced evolvers, they are often kings! In the eyes of other opposing camps, they are undoubtedly thorns in their side."

"A low-level evolutionary prodigy like you, selected as a prince of Gaia ahead of time, is far too easy to target. Putting aside the various dangerous places in the real world that can be targeted, just consider the methods of targeting in the main storyline world... What would happen if the opposing faction went to great lengths to infiltrate your main storyline world in advance and killed the key figures of the main quest as soon as you entered the world?"

Bai Pu suddenly remembered how he had tricked the Stinger Squad by taking advantage of the main storyline when he first awakened.

Generally speaking, the will of the spirit world will not issue impossible tasks.

However, given the huge difference in strength between Bai Pu and the Stinger Squad, as well as the major plot twists created by Bai Pu, the Stinger Squad had too little time to break the deadlock, and their methods were too extreme; they had never even considered such a thing.

If the main quest after entering the world is deliberately sabotaged, it doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed, but it will definitely put you in a very passive position.

One wrong step can lead to a series of mistakes, and if you can't break out of this predicament, you might be targeted and killed.

……

Upon returning to the inner city of Ling Shu, Bai Pu first went to the Heavenly Court headquarters and then to Chi Li's blacksmith workshop.

Clang, clang, clang...

The monotonous, mechanical sound of hammering iron is constant and rhythmic, just like Chi Li's character: calm, resilient, and patient.

Chi Li's talent in forging is undeniable; he was able to reach level 10 blacksmithing on a remote planet through his own exploration. His temperament is extremely suited to forging, and the tedious and boring task of blacksmithing is filled with the joy of creating with his own hands.

In particular, Bai Pu's forging skills as the Immortal King "Divine Craftsman" allowed Chi Li to successfully become a Divine Craftsman. Every time he forged iron, he could see his own progress, and this joy became even more intense, to the point that he forgot to eat and sleep.

"You've arrived, Source Lord."

Chi Li finished forging, and a gold-grade piece of equipment was created.

This is a helmet with a total attribute bonus of 55 points. It's not as good as the top-tier gold equipment dropped from loot chests, but it's much better than standard gold equipment.

Furthermore, this golden helmet also has the affix of "energy consumption reduced by 14%", which can be considered a passive skill and is quite useful.

This is the master craftsman. Although it is only a seedling of master craftsmanship, it has already begun to show its potential.

"Are you confident about upgrading the Doomsday Spear?" Bai Pu took out a King-level Purple Weapon.

"We can give it a try. Even if the upgrade fails, it won't damage the base material. The base material of this purple weapon is quite extraordinary."

Chi Li took the Doomsday Spear and sighed, "Actually, in terms of its base material, it is not inferior to second-tier equipment. It's just that its weapon spirit was sealed by a black evil power, which is why its quality dropped to first-tier. That's why you were able to use it during the Awakener stage."

"Can you unseal its spirit?" Bai Pu asked.

“Yes. In the divine craftsmanship inheritance of the Immortal King, there is a method to remove the power of the Black Fiend, which requires some special materials.” Chi Li recited a series of material names.
