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

Chapter 936 Let's open some treasure chests first!

After rescuing Lady Reishi, the court wizard continued to interrogate the Naga spy Navia, forcing her to reveal the formula for the witch's transformation potion.

Awakened individuals like Bai Pu had no opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

Eager to prove himself, Gallius personally handled both the rescue of his wife and the punishment of the spy, without delegating any tasks to others.

There are two pieces of good news for Bai Pu.

First, his crime of killing his former boss, Karamango, was transformed into "eliminating the Naga spy Karamango," which not only absolved him of guilt but also earned him merit.

Of course, the credit for capturing the real Naga spy—the Rotscale Naga Navia—belonged to the brilliant command and decisive decision of Legion Commander Gallius, which saved the Imperial Legion from a potentially major loss.

Gallius, of course, also reciprocated Bai Pu's kindness.

In addition to the increase in favorability and reputation, Gallius also gave Bai Pu two options.

The first option is to become a "legion commander of a thousand men," which is considered a low-ranking general in the empire. This would place him in the lower nobility, with a status equivalent to that of Karamanco and Elizabeth.

The second option was for him to recommend Bai Pu to the Imperial Capital Headquarters of the Crimson Blood Arena, allowing him to take over everything in Karamango—including the Crimson Blood Arena branch in "Old Iron City," as well as the exploration team that Karamango had transported to the New World.

Regardless of which option Bai Pu chooses, he will be able to directly ascend to the minor noble class and obtain a crucial item for the "Ascension Main Quest"—a privateering license issued by the Empire!
Bai Pu chose the second option.

The first option is to become a centurion, which is safer, but not free to act. You have to report to Gallius for everything and can only act when you receive orders from him.

The second option, replacing Karamango as the new partner of the Crimson Blood Arena, would allow for the legitimate development of one's own power and exploration of this rich yet dangerous new continent.

Gallius was somewhat disappointed, but he still kept his promise.

……

Upper Tefora, Karamango Mansion.

Karamango died, was purged, and even his property was confiscated. As a reward, all of it was taken over by Bai Pu.

Standing in the spacious courtyard of Karamango's mansion, looking at the courtyard full of subordinates, servants and slaves, Bai Pu was filled with emotion.

He now truly feels free.

You have obtained a privateer's letter of marque issued by the Empire.

[Ascension Main Quest 1: Pioneers of the Lost Continent, Completed.]

[Task Reward: Refinement and Conversion Function (One-time Use)]

[Refinement and Conversion Function: You can perform a one-time 'Refinement and Conversion' to refine all the Spirit Crystals obtained during Main Quest 1 into Spirit Crystals that you can take out of this world, and deposit them into your Spirit Crystal Account (cannot be traded with Awakened). Remaining usage period for this private conversion function: 18 days, 22 hours, 05 minutes, and 49 seconds.]

You have the freedom to explore the rest of your time in this world.

The two witches, the elder and the younger, were also all smiles.

They also received a prompt and simultaneously completed the ascension main questline, "Pioneers of the Lost Continent".

"Congratulations, congratulations to the three of you! At this point, your ascension trial can actually be considered a success. You could leave this world right now without any problem, but with such a perfect start, you probably won't do that."

Bart smiled and congratulated him, his eyes filled with deep envy.

Bai Pu chuckled.

Of course not. The templates obtainable in the Ascended Dimension are closely related to the Awakened One's performance in this world; it's essentially a "test without scoring"!
Upon leaving this world, awakened beings who have completed the Ascension main quest once are eligible to initiate "Ascension Infusion" and advance to become Evolvers. Of course, those unlucky enough to fail to complete even one main quest will only experience an Ascension failure and have to try again next time.

Ascension Infusion is the use of the power of the world to forcibly enhance the energy intensity of the awakened!

For example, Bai Pu's current priority of professional energy is 7 points (not counting the King-level Purple Weapon and the second-grade True Meaning prototype), which is roughly equivalent to 700 points of energy intensity.

The Ascension Infusion will increase Bai Pu's energy intensity by 100, 200, 300, etc., based on the initial energy intensity of 700. The exact amount of the increase will depend on Bai Pu's performance in this Ascension Plane.

It can increase energy intensity by 300 points, bringing the total intensity to 1000, and increase professional energy priority by 10 points, which is equivalent to the enhanced boss in the Evolver plane!

However, those who can gain a 300-point increase in energy intensity during the Ascension Infusion are extremely rare.

Apart from monsters like Bai Pu who fused the relics of the four great demon gods and created his own battle qi cultivation method, most ascended awakeners did not have an energy strength of 600. Many of them only had an energy strength of 500 (equivalent to a first-tier enhanced leader or a second-tier weak template).

Therefore, most ascendants start by increasing their energy intensity from a baseline of 500, with the expectation of gaining an increase of around 200 or 300 points to obtain the template for elite or enhanced elite.

However, in reality, on many native planets outside the Galactic Heart, Awakened Ones can only obtain 100 Ascension Infusion Points, starting as Evolvers with a "normal template".

This is a regression in templates.

Previously, there were also Blue Star Awakeners who, based on the various enhancements of the second job change and the professional plane, thought that ascending to the plane was also a good opportunity to enhance their templates. They mistakenly believed that they could enhance the template of the first-tier leader and then go further to obtain the template of the second-tier lord. It was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Evolver Lord template start?

Even the most outstanding talents in the top-ranked divine faction dare not have such aspirations.

Ascension points are like college entrance exam scores. When your score is low, it's easy to accumulate them and you can easily gain tens of points. But when your score is high, it's very difficult to improve by even one or two points.

Bart knew, of course, that Bai, Pu, and the other two wouldn't back down now.

He then asked in a low voice, "Has the fourth step of the consecutive mission been completed yet?"

Bai Pu shook his head and smiled slightly: "Not yet, it's probably just not the right time. Everyone, seize this rare time to rest and plan your own ascension path."

"Hehe, we're currently your bronze-level gladiators. To make it into the Ascension storyline... we'll need Steelheart to be lenient, Boss." Bart used his shamelessness to his advantage.

Bai Pu said, "I'm just a newly promoted minor noble, equivalent to a gold-level gladiator... My authority is only to help you advance to silver level. As for how to obtain the privateer's license that only nobles can get, that depends on your performance."

Bart helped Bai Pu gather intelligence, purchase photographic crystals, and stall the Dmitri family guards, which can be considered a meritorious service.

Gallius rewarded Bai Pu, and Bai Pu, of course, should also reward Bart. Stingy bosses never have a good ending; Karamango is a prime example.

Bart belongs to a team. Once Bart, as the team leader, obtains a privateer's license, his subordinates will simultaneously complete the Ascension questline. This is the same principle as the two wizards completing the Ascension questline simultaneously.

This is the benefit of sticking together.

"Hey, definitely! We'll make even more contributions in the subsequent side missions!" Bart declared, patting his chest. "Let's set off now to gather intelligence for the boss, and leave one person behind to report back at any time!"

After Bart and his men left, Bai Pu led the two witches back to their bedroom.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the three of them were quite excited.

3000 words are omitted here.

"Phew! Finally reunited. With nothing else to do, let's open some of Karamango's treasure chests!"
