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

Chapter 1213 How did you suddenly have an epiphany?

"withdraw."

Bai Pu's Four Extremes Burst is indeed very powerful, but its weakness is also obvious: it cannot be sustained.

In his normal state, Bai Pu has high stamina and mental attributes, so he can fight for several hours because his physical and mental strength can recover at a rate that keeps up with his consumption.

However, Bai Pu's physical energy consumption doubles during his burst state, and his mental energy is also greatly depleted in order to maintain the stability of the four-stage burst. Ten minutes is already his limit.

These molten core colossi are mindless, fearless, elemental mutants that cannot be scared off.

Every time Bai Pu kills a Molten Core Colossus Lord, it means that the other Molten Core Colossus Lords become stronger.

In this situation, it would be better to avoid direct confrontation and instead shift strategically.

Once Bai Pu escapes to a safe area, his physical strength, qi, and mental energy will gradually recover, and the extra energy intensity of the Molten Core Colossus Lord due to the "Energy Gathering Ring" will dissipate!

That was the moment when Bai Pu would make his move again.

Fortunately, these Molten Core Colossi, though powerful, lacked intelligence. Bai Pu escaped with Hong Xiao, and they had no powerful abilities to stop them, only using ranged bombardment tactics in pursuit.

Shi Le and the others, who were remotely monitoring the battle using the Fire Extinguishers, saw Bai Pu and the other suddenly disappear from the shared vision provided by the Fire Extinguishers. Then the Molten Core Colossus also gave chase, but it was getting further and further away and impossible to catch up. They all felt bored.

“Prince Gangxin… should have escaped back to his celestial abode by now. That’s for the best; we won’t need to give him any more celestial treasures for the time being.”

"Speaking of those Molten Core Colossi, they were all high-level lords, so how did Steelheart manage to escape?"

"Yeah, he's so useless... At least let Steel Heart suffer a bit!"

After making a few complaints, the group wanted to return to the Molten Palace.

However... swish swish!
Two streaks of crimson light flashed, and Hongxiao, holding Baipu's hand, reappeared before Shi Le and the others.

"scare?"

"Your Highness Steelheart, you didn't leave!"

Shi Le and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Could it be that their private complaints had been overheard?

Bai Pu glanced at everyone and said indifferently, "I didn't suffer any hardship at the hands of the Molten Core Colossus, which has disappointed you."

The expressions of Crimson Vine Domain Lord and Flame Bone Domain Lord changed slightly. They had not expected Bai Pu to be so strong that he could actually intercept everyone's conversation.

It should be understood that communication among people is not spoken, but rather conducted through thought and feeling. Only those whose energy intensity and true understanding far surpass those of others can intercept the language of this thought-feeling exchange.

The group quickly waved their hands, indicating that they did not mean that.

Bai Pu didn't bother to pursue the matter further, and simply said, "Weren't we supposed to be handing over the treasures of the cave? Lead the way, let's take a look around your Molten Fire Palace Cave."

Shi Le and his entourage were extremely unwilling, but they did not have the courage to refuse.

They had no choice but to obediently lead the way, guiding Bai Pu into the molten lava palace.

Under Bai Pu's supervision, Shi Le removed all the lower-level earth-element treasures inlaid on the earth-element ornamental column of the cave and gave them to Bai Pu as compensation.

Then, Shi Le and his men counted out dozens of unused fire-elemental grotto treasures and handed them over to Bai Pu.

"Your Highness Steel Heart, we didn't get many earth-type rare treasures, only fourteen in total, which is equivalent to seventy-two points of the Cave Heaven limit."

"These fire-elemental treasures total forty-nine pieces. Ten of them will be used to enhance the fire attribute of your grotto-heaven, while the remaining thirty-nine will definitely help you raise your grotto-heaven's fire attribute cap to the maximum of 199 points..."

It was still the social butterfly, Hongman, who was in charge of negotiating with Bai Pu.

With a flick of his sleeve, Bai Pu collected the two piles of rare treasures floating in front of the Red Vine Domain Lord into his storage space.

Lord Crimson Vine chuckled sweetly, "Your Highness Steel Heart, you just slew the Molten Heart Colossus and obtained a mid-level fire-type treasure. You can use it when your fire attribute in your Cave Heaven reaches 199 points, allowing your fire attribute to directly break through to the mid-level Cave Heaven level. Congratulations!"

Bai Pu hummed in agreement, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The Crimson Vine Domain Lord, observing the situation carefully, said cautiously, "Your Highness Steel Heart, it's getting late. Would you like His Highness Shi Le to use his cave-heaven teleportation authority to send you back?"

Shi Le also came over, his face showing suppressed anticipation, clearly wanting to get rid of Bai Pu, this plague god, as soon as possible.

"No need, I can teleport away myself. But before that..."

Bai Pu paused for a moment, "Give me the coordinates of the teleportation node in the Molten Palace Cave. I occasionally use the coordinates of the Molten Palace Cave to teleport here to explore the lava lake again... Shi Le, give me the teleportation permission."

Bai Pu was not satisfied with only taking down one Lord-level Molten Core Colossus this time.

He plans to make the A-level dangerous area "Molten Core" a regular spawn point to continuously hunt Lord-level Molten Core Colossi.

The goal isn't high; just take out one at a time.

As for the coordinates of the teleportation nodes, those Gaia princes who had good relationships with each other would exchange them.

For example, Bai Pu possesses the coordinates of Feng Shenxiu's "Heavenly Mirror Palace" teleportation node. When they meet at the True Scripture Plateau on the first day of next month, Bai Pu will also inform Feng Shenxiu of the teleportation node coordinates of the Misty Palace.

By exchanging teleportation node coordinates and granting each other teleportation permissions, Prince Gaia's range of activities on Prince Star can be greatly expanded.

However, Bai Pu unilaterally demanded the coordinates of the teleportation node and the teleportation permission, but refused to provide Shi Le with the coordinates of the teleportation node and the teleportation permission for the Misty Palace Cave.

This is blatant hegemony and an unequal treaty!

"You want me to grant you teleportation privileges?"

Shi Le looked shocked and incredulous.

"Is there a problem?"

Bai Pu said calmly, "Actually, without going through the Molten Palace, I have other means to teleport remotely to the dangerous Heart of Molten Fire. It's just that doing so would be a bit laborious."

Bai Pu was referring to the phase jellyfish teleportation network through the void folds, which is how he got here this time.

However, using the Phase Jellyfish's Mirror-Breaking Touch skill for teleportation requires activating the Four Extremes Burst to increase priority each time in order to reach the Phase Jellyfish, which is indeed a bit troublesome. It is not as time-saving and labor-saving as the Cave Heaven Teleportation, which is also more accurate and safe.

A gaze has weight.

Under Bai Pu's gaze, Shi Le felt immense pressure. He desperately wanted to expel Bai Pu at all costs and drive him out of the Molten Palace.

But this was futile. Bai Pu already knew the location of the leyline nodes of the Molten Palace Cave Heaven. With his high priority, he was fully capable of targeting the Molten Palace Cave Heaven from the outside.

In the end, Shi Le had no choice but to bow his head and obediently grant Bai Pu access to the Molten Palace's teleportation portal.

Bai Pu then grasped the key to the grotto and activated the teleportation and return ability of the Misty Palace grotto, which is called "returning to the city".

After ten minutes of undisturbed spellcasting, Bai Pu and Hong Xiao's figures disappeared simultaneously, leaving only Shi Le and the others with gloomy expressions.

……

The Misty Palace Grotto.

With Hongxiao's excited gaze as a sign of encouragement, Bai Pu arrived at the Huabiao pillar in front of the cave's main hall and placed the ten lower-grade fire-type treasures and ten lower-grade earth-type treasures he had selected on the platform surrounding the pillar. This circular platform was actually the "altar" for offering the cave's treasures.

[Do you wish to sacrifice ten low-grade fire-attribute treasures to increase the fire attribute of the Misty Palace Grotto-heaven? Warning: This choice will have irreversible consequences.]

[Do you wish to sacrifice ten low-grade earth-elemental treasures to increase the earth attribute of the Misty Palace Grotto-Heaven? Warning: This choice will have irreversible consequences.]

Bai Pu chose yes for both.

On the altar, all twenty rare treasures were swallowed by an invisible light, turning into streams of red and dark yellow particles that surged into the world of the Misty Palace.

The ground shook violently, and next to the original wind-element ornamental column, a fire-element ornamental column and an earth-element ornamental column rose from the ground.

The fire-elemental pillars are decorated with patterns of soaring flames, while the earth-elemental pillars feature reliefs of rugged boulders.

Thus, the Misty Palace Grotto-Heaven has added two new attributes, fire and earth, and is now a grotto-heaven with four attributes: wind, fire, earth, and space.

However, while adding attributes is possible, deleting attributes is not.

Even if Bai Pu wanted to back out, he couldn't delete the newly added cave attribute.

Bai Pu first embedded all the remaining earth-elemental treasures into the earth-elemental ornamental pillar, instantly raising the earth-elemental limit of the grotto-heaven from zero to 22 points.

The one that truly soars to new heights is the upper limit of the fire element.

Bai Pu first embedded the lower-level fire-type rare treasure, raising the fire-type limit all the way to the lower-level limit of 199 points. Then, Bai Pu embedded the "Molten Core" dropped by the Molten Core Colossus Lord, which is the intermediate-level fire-type rare treasure.

Fire element limit 222 points, breaking through the threshold of intermediate fire element cave heaven limit!
"Shi Le was such a good man!"

Bai Pu was in a good mood, "We should get closer to each other in the future."

……

Three weeks passed quickly.

"Steelheart is such a bastard! He comes and goes as he pleases, treating the Molten Palace like his own home!"

In the perilous heart of molten lava, within the underground "scorching corridor," Shi Le cursed angrily.

"It's terrible, Your Highness Shi Le! Prince Gangxin is here again!"

"This is what Mushishi Sanger reported."

Upon hearing the report, Lord Hongman quickly reminded him, "Your Highness Shi Le, please be quiet! Be careful not to let His Highness Gangxin hear you!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Le frowned, his lips moving as if he wanted to curse, but he ultimately didn't dare to say it and could only swallow it back.

"Where did he go? Was it still that lava lake?" Shi Le asked.

"Yes, but this time he wasn't on the surface of the lake. Instead, he went down to the bottom of the lake with Lord Hongxiao."

The insect master Sange was a little nervous. "The fire hydra can't stay deep in the magma for long, what should we do?"

Shi Le said in a deep voice, "Monitor the lake surface and watch for any appearance of the steel core... Inquire at any time and report back immediately!"

……

Beneath the lava lake.

The lava lake is very deep.

Bai Pu and Hong Xiao, both covered in fire-attribute shields, dived all the way to a depth of a thousand meters.

The surrounding magma is getting hotter and hotter.

Given the abundance of psionic particles in this area, the magma also possesses psionic effects and can inflict scorching damage on evolved beings.

It is only because Bai and Pu are both very powerful that they can roam in a lava lake that is thousands of meters deep.

In the lava lake, the two also discovered some strange creatures. Bai Pu used his faction's unique skill "Eye of Insight" to investigate them one by one, and he felt like he had broadened his horizons.

There are "fire-scaled shad" that swim slowly in the lava lake. They feed on fire and earth energy and are a rare food produced in the dangerous heart of the lava.

Bai Pu caught some fire-scaled shad and then discovered other unusual species at the bottom of the lake.

Beneath the lava lake lies not a lifeless world, but a unique cycle of life.

Looking at the dark red lava corals and the insects, algae, and fish living on the solidified lava, Bai Pu couldn't help but sigh and say:
"The world is truly amazing. Even in fire-related environments that seem completely unrelated to 'life,' life can still thrive."

This is telepathic communication, allowing for seamless communication even beneath the lava lake.

Hongxiao admired the strange sight and clicked her tongue, saying, "Yes, it's a pity we can't take pictures here, otherwise we would definitely record it properly..."

Bai Pu remained lost in thought before the lava coral reef.

"Steelheart, aren't we supposed to be exploring the springs of the lava lake?"

Hongxiao looked over with some surprise. In her memory, Bai Pu was not the kind of person who would be distracted by the scenery.

Bai Pu suddenly spoke up: "Hongxiao, do you think the appearance of these 'life forms' is also due to the 'earth' attribute? This is a lava environment, where fire and earth combine, providing a fertile ground for the emergence of life."

Hongxiao's eyes widened slightly. She suddenly realized something, covered her mouth, and didn't reply.

Bai Pu continued, "This reminds me of the permafrost fissure, an extreme ice environment where a biosphere also exists... It seems that life is truly everywhere, closely connected to the ten elemental laws and even the laws of space."

The fire-elemental shield around Bai Pu's body expanded by three feet with a slight exertion, giving Bai Pu room to move his hands and feet.

Then, silver-white lightning flashed at Bai Pu's fingertips, mixed with turquoise wood energy.

"The tribulation wood energy of the Lin Clan actually contains the mysteries of life. Lightning-struck wood is both destruction and rebirth... It turns out that such a landscape is hidden in a corner I had never noticed before."

The red silk embroidered scalp tingled.

Although she didn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt Bai Pu's current state, she was internally ranting and raving.

Brother! You were just looking at the scenery, how did you suddenly gain some enlightenment?

Stop being so outrageous! Give other people some life experience, you know!
Hongxiao stared intently at the lava coral reefs and the biosphere.

At first, she did not grasp any concept of the realm of life, but through Bai Pu's self-talk, she vaguely realized the realm of "life" that Bai Pu spoke of, and began to think about the implicit connection between the laws of extreme fire and the laws of life.

Bai Pu withdrew his Calamity Wood Qi and laughed, "Actually, compared to the profound meaning of space, the special system profound meaning I should comprehend most should be the profound meaning of life... After all, when I first awakened, my source blood and source heart were closely related to the evolution of life."

"You... have grasped it?" Hongxiao asked cautiously.

"Yes, I have grasped the profound meaning of life and incorporated it into my myriad truths."

Bai Pu smiled and said, "I should have realized it long ago. Perhaps it's because I'm 'blind to what's right under my nose' that I've only realized it now. I've taken some things for granted without carefully considering their profound meaning."
