National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 237 Taiyi
Currently, strengthening the virus's capabilities in five directions has little effect and cannot solve the food problem.

Even on Radiation Island, the mission almost failed due to food problems. Fortunately, there was the devil seaweed developed by Juro Inaka.

At present, the only way to solve the food problem is to hope that the virus mutates into seeds so that the virus can mutate and develop abilities such as photosynthesis.

In this way, the food will become rich instantly.

It's just a virus mutation seed with 200 billion infection points.

The ability of mutated seeds comes from the mutation ability produced by the cultured viruses.

For example, the demon virus mutated into many mutant abilities before, and these mutant abilities will be included in the system and then form a mutant seed library.

The exchanged mutation seeds can randomly produce one of the mutation abilities and adapt to the current virus.

Because the demon virus has many mutation abilities, and many of them are useless against the current goblin virus, Lin Zhi had never purchased any before, and had to rely on the virus to adapt to the environment on its own.

But at present, the Goblin virus has reached its dead end and can only give it a try. If it can mutate to develop photosynthesis, then it will be safe.

Lin Zhi took a look at the total number of infection points accumulated over the past few days and could purchase 3 mutant seeds.

Bought!

"Exchange virus mutation seeds!"

[Exchange successfully, obtain the mutant seed "Heart-wrenching"]

Mutation: The virus modifies the host's heart and gallbladder, allowing them to beat faster and more violently, as well as circulate blood and water, detoxify, and secrete various hormones.

"Oh, go on!"

[Exchange successful, obtain the mutant seed "Gluttony"]

Mutation: Gluttony: The virus acquires the ability to secrete "enhanced digestive enzymes", causing the infected to continuously desire food and quickly digest and absorb nutrients.

"This skill... oh, it improves the Goblin's ability to eat dirt and northwest wind!"

Lin Zhi shook his head and placed his hope on the remaining mutant seed.

Although he knew the chances were slim, Lin Zhi still hoped that photosynthesis could occur randomly.

"I hope you will bless me..."

[Exchange successful, obtain the mutant seed "Photosynthesis"]

Mutation·Photosynthesis: The virus acquires bacterial abilities and optimizes mutations, allowing the goblin's green skin to produce large amounts of chlorophyll, perform photosynthesis, and generate nutrients.

“Photosynthesis!!!”

Lin Zhi suppressed his excitement. There was a cure for the Goblin virus!

This way, there will be no shortage of food!

Steady!

……

On the 150th day after the virus was released, the goblin virus mutated into the ability to photosynthesize, which meant that the goblins no longer had an excessive demand for food, thus successfully resolving the food crisis.

However, in the context of war, the nutrients produced by photosynthesis are completely insufficient to support combat needs.

Hundreds of large goblin tribes decided to negotiate peace.

On the 170th day after the virus was released, only goblins were left alive on the Black Continent.

The drawbacks of race gradually became apparent.

Among the goblins, the number of females born is far lower than that of males, reaching a ratio of one in ten thousand.

In order to obtain the right to reproduce, bloody conflicts broke out among the male goblins and they began to fight among themselves.

In order to become stronger than other goblins, the goblins began to practice madly.

However, the nutrients produced by photosynthesis are not enough to support the goblins' more strenuous movements besides basic life activities.

Some weak goblins were enslaved by powerful goblins and were forced to supply the strong with nutrients produced by their own photosynthesis.

Slavery gradually took shape.

On the 200th day after the virus was released, the goblins transformed from a tribal society to a slave society.

The weak in the tribe became slaves, and the strong were not satisfied with the status quo, so a war mainly for the seizure of slaves broke out again.

Small tribes died out and large tribes gradually merged.

On this day, a tribe that gave birth to the "Goblin King" unified the Black Continent and established the Goblin Kingdom.

On the 230th day after the virus was released, no female goblins were born among the new generation of goblins.

The royal family and the powerful goblins have seized the right to reproduce.

The goblins, who became the lower class of people, gradually became dissatisfied. They freed the slaves, and a civil war to overthrow the nobles broke out.

On the 300th day after the virus was released, the civil war ended and the old nobles perished, but the victors discovered that the so-called fruits of victory were only less than one million goblins left.

On the 331st day after the virus was released, a new civil war began again.

On the 365th day after the virus was released, there were less than 10,000 goblins left.

This day gradually ended with Lin Zhi feeling helpless and helpless.

The sound of a mechanical system upgrade echoed in Lin Zhi's mind.

[The mission time has ended, the system is settling accounts...]

[The Goblin virus evolution level is detected to be C. This mission has failed. 】

[Please select the penalty method for this task]

[1. All Humanity Was Wiped Out]

[2. The difficulty of the next mission will be increased to "Hell"]

"Two, choose two!"

Lin Zhi chose option 2 without hesitation.

[Select Complete. Since the host failed this mission, the next mission will be released in advance and the preparation time will be shortened to 3 days. ]

[The host will be teleported to the birth point outside the isolation cover in 24 hours. ]

……

In a small hut, Lin Zhi slowly opened his eyes.

"Alas, this mission failed too quickly!"

He summed up his lessons, rested for a few days, and started the third simulation.

This time, the virus was released on the other side of the ocean.

[Isolation mask exchange completed]

【Please select the virus you want to release. 】

[Zombie virus: can quickly infect humans and animals and turn them into zombies without self-awareness. Once released, it will bring permanent benefits. It can quickly obtain a large number of infection points. Recommended index:]

[Vampire virus: can turn human infected people into vampires who are bloodthirsty and afraid of sunlight, with a long lifespan and extraordinary powers. A virus with relatively small side effects, the infected person spreads the virus by self-consciousness, recommended index:]

[Devil virus: There is a devil in everyone's heart. After being infected with the devil virus, the evil thoughts in the heart will gradually expand, and eventually degenerate into a chaotic devil. It takes a lot of effort to cultivate and find a harsh environment suitable for the breeding ground of the virus. Recommended index:]

"Zombie virus!"

With the experience from the previous two times, Lin Zhi became bolder. Combined with the research data from the previous two viruses, he was confident that he could cultivate a suitable virus through this zombie virus.

【Please select the virus release location】

……

This time, Lin Zhi learned his lesson and fought against the other side. With the help of the other side's technology and system bonus, he successfully cultivated the virus into a virus that is harmless to humans and can promote evolution in just a few years.

Then, the fourth launch was made, this time the destination was Borneo.

After the fourth experiment on mice in Borneo, Lin Zhi finally developed a virus that could allow humans to achieve transcendence without causing any harm.

He named the virus "yeast bacteria".

The reason why it is called yeast fungus is because this virus can ferment substances and generate "special gas" that can enable human evolution. According to research, this gas is actually spiritual energy!
The experiment was successful and he began the fifth virus release.

The goal was the world, and in about 10 years, he successfully infected the world with yeast virus, making the world extraordinary. He also became the ruler of the earth and enjoyed everything.

ten years.

century.

Millennia.

Time passed quickly, and Lin Zhi suddenly felt that the world had become boring.

I always feel like something is missing, something is wrong.

Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears.

"wake up!"

He only felt his brain being impacted, and the next moment, he found that the surrounding environment quickly dissipated, and what came into view was an unimaginably huge dead tree.

This dead tree is a world tree, and at this moment, hundreds of cocoons, like spider webs, are hanging from its crown.

One of the cocoons had already cracked with a sword mark, and then he saw a familiar figure crawling out of the crack.

"master?"

Lin Zhi was shocked. He didn't expect that Meng Xingchen would appear here.

"You and I have been trapped in this starting point continent for decades."

Meng Xingchen spoke.

"Ah? I remember that I was in the Immortal Embryo Continent and obtained a jade slip."

Lin Zhidao.

"Yes, look there!"

Meng Xingchen pointed above the withered world tree and saw half a book floating there.

"After you got the jade slip, these relics sensed each other, and you were sucked in. Then you fell into the dream woven by the World Tree. If it weren't for the huge amount of energy consumed to maintain your dream, I wouldn't be able to break free from its bondage."

Meng Xingchen slashed out with a sword, cutting off the cocoons on Lin Zhi's body, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "Dao, after collecting this half of the cultivation manual, your cultivation manual should be complete."

As the cocoons on his body were cut off, Lin Zhi sensed the familiar soul sea, and then he felt the soul land area in his body.

The power is back!

In addition, he discovered a jade slip and half a book appeared in his soul sea.

Before, he couldn't see this book which represented the training manual.

The books were moving without wind, and they contained countless knowledge about spiritual seeds.

Only then did he understand that the so-called breeding selection was actually the best choice given to him by the breeding manual based on the records.

As for the jade slip in his mind, he immersed himself in it, and a series of exercises quickly emerged in his mind.

Alchemy talismans, formations, instruments, and numerous cultivation spells and techniques emerged in his mind.

Among them, one magical technique caught his attention.

The Great Dao Scripture of the Innate Spiritual Root

As his mind was immersed in the jade slip technique, he was deeply shocked.

This... this is the origin of the world tree!
After reading this Taoist scripture, Lin Zhi suddenly understood the nature of the so-called spiritual plants and the world tree.

This technique is aimed directly at becoming the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and it is about transforming oneself into an innate spiritual root like the Chaos Green Lotus.

Then, he found a message at the end of the technique.

[Those who come later, please do not practice this method, otherwise your soul will be destroyed. ]

Seeing this sentence, Lin Zhi remembered that the immortal creature of Lingzhi Daluo, the beautiful woman, had also said this sentence.

Considering that this powerful man died and turned into the world, Lin Zhi vaguely guessed that perhaps this powerful man died in a vendetta.

If you practice the other party's skills, your enemy may regard you as the successor and then kill you.

That's probably why the path to immortality is taboo.

Of course, assuming that this enemy really exists.

There are still many questions that cannot be explained, such as how strong is this enemy?
For example, if the other party is a saint in a prehistoric novel, can't he just wipe out the roots and destroy the world directly?
"What are you thinking about? Go and get the books. The consciousness in this world tree has not yet awakened. If it..." Meng Xingchen reminded from the side.

Suddenly, the withered world tree shook.

I saw the spider-like cocoons breaking open one after another, and strong men with lifeless eyes and emitting the aura of demigods rushed out from under the tree canopy.

"This is a time traveler immersed in an illusion!" Meng Xingchen reminded.

Lin Zhi's expression became serious. He waved his hand and the Eternal Barrier appeared before his eyes. Thousands of swords flew out from the surrounding area.

Only then did he have time to resonate with the Infinite Skynet and instantly control the scene of this mythical void domain.

Through the perspective of Infinite Skynet, he discovered that the entire mythical void domain seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

During the time he was trapped in the illusion, all the epic civilizations were plunged into dormancy by this starting point continent!
At this time, the demigod traveler has arrived.

What about the rain of pear blossoms, the Buddha's angry lotus, and all kinds of ultimate spiritual plants launched attacks at him.

Lin Zhi's figure faded away, and he leaped forward to face these demigods head-on.

"cut!"

Wan Jian Gui Zong sent out countless flying swords, destroying all the incoming attacks.

"These demigods are too weak!"

Only at this moment did Lin Zhi realize that his soul realm seemed to have reached an unimaginable level.

"Has my soul reached the epic level?"

It suddenly dawned on him that he had made some progress during these years of being trapped in the illusion.

Lin Zhi turned into a stream of light, passed through the obstruction of these demigods, and instantly arrived in the sky, above the canopy of the world.

Then he grabbed the half book with one hand.

As the book came into hand, it immediately turned into light and merged into the sea of ​​soul, merging with the other half of the book.

As they merged, the demigod traversers below suddenly covered their heads in pain, and points of light flew out of their bodies and gathered towards Lin Zhi.

"This is the Cultivation Manual taking back the power that the World Tree has stolen!"

Lin Zhi understood instantly that the so-called traverser's system was actually the power of the World Tree that stole the cultivation manual and evolved into various systems.

As the cultivation manual slowly merged, a golden warm current fed back to the soul sea, and Lin Zhi found that his soul began to condense from stone into a crystal core.

Suddenly, a heavy voice exploded in his ears.

"How dare you!"

The withered World Tree quickly shrank and turned into a seedling. Then, a monster with a human body and a snake tail appeared in the sky.

Lin Zhi discovered that the starting point of the continent collapsed rapidly with the appearance of this person.

Cracks appeared in space, revealing the void outside.

"How dare you, ant, steal my things!"

The monster appeared in front of Lin Zhi the next moment, stretched out its big hand, and tried to grab Lin Zhi.

"Taiyi!"

Lin Zhi instantly thought of what the beautiful woman had once said, that this starting point continent was transformed by a powerful immortal creature.

And this immortal creature is named Taiyi.

Immortality is two realms away from the epic realm, namely miracle and myth.

However, Lin Zhi discovered that he had also gained tremendous benefits from the fusion process of the cultivation manual, and his soul was successfully transformed from the stone continent into a fist-sized crystal core.

His soul realm had reached the epic limit, and all he had left was to ignite the divine fire and transform the crystal core into true godhood, thus becoming a myth.

However, under the effect of the permanent 1 of the Soul Soil in the Cultivation Manual, his strength is no different from that of a true myth.
