"Initially, quite a few alien civilizations did try to learn this method of improving their strength by evolving on their own, without relying on external objects."

After all, the benefits of physical strength and significantly extended lifespan are real and tangible, and for any civilization, these are gains that are visible to the naked eye.

Most intelligent beings spend the first half of their life cycle learning the knowledge accumulated by their own civilization.

Each extension of lifespan means that an individual can master the technological achievements of several more generations, bringing them back to the laboratory for further exploration, iteration, and breakthroughs.

In the evolutionary path of advanced technological civilizations, even an extra year of effective research time can be decisive for the advancement of the entire system.

Therefore, those early civilizations that attempted to emulate the Kunlun and Buddha's paths were not initially driven by mere curiosity or envy, but by a rather pragmatic calculation.

If this path can be successfully navigated, even if only halfway through, the returns will far outweigh the investment.

However, after systematic research, they discovered a rather real problem.

This biological evolutionary path applies almost exclusively to primates, and it is completely uninheritable; in fact, it is highly dependent on…

Sally paused, frowned, and pondered for a moment before uttering a word that sounded somewhat unfamiliar and incomprehensible to him.

"Eat their so-called spiritual root talent!"

At the same time, the things built by the previous generation must be started from scratch by the next generation. They cannot stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue to add bricks and tiles, like in a technology tree.

Soon, most civilizations abandoned this path.

They realized that this evolutionary approach, which could not be accumulated, replicated, or scaled up, was too slow for the overall progress of civilization and might even waste their precious time.

In comparison, the history of silicon-based civilizations is far shorter than that of Kunlun and Buddha, but they have relied on the technological path accumulated over generations to gradually reach their current position and have forcibly pushed themselves to the top.

Kunlun and Buddha, however, are still pursuing individual spiritual transcendence, which, from the perspective of the overall progress of civilization, seems like standing still.

The assistant nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Sally sat in her chair, staring at the shelves on the screen that were still getting emptied, her fingers tapping incessantly, her face full of anxiety.

The aliens in the Kunlun and Buddha galaxies have never been easy to mess with.

Relying on the evolutionary achievements of their own life forms, they can confront many advanced civilizations head-on without relying on external things. They act entirely according to their own will, pursuing the fulfillment of their thoughts without any scruples.

Once you get involved, it's like a stubborn thorn in your side.

If you can't beat them and run away, they'll keep chasing you and beating you until you die;

Even if you manage to defeat one, and kill this one, an even older one will come along, and above that, there will be an even older one.

Going back further, you have no idea what level of people you'll find.

It is said that these two civilizations have individuals whose technological level of evolution is comparable to that of a Level 5 civilization, and given the highly rational computational model of silicon-based civilizations, they would not choose to go to war with them.

It's not worth it, nor is it a good deal.

"Let's talk about it in person."

Sally stood up from her seat.

"It's best to talk the talk rather than walk the walk; it's all about making money."

Sally was very open-minded. She had started from scratch, and if things didn't work out, she could just start over. The most important thing was to stay alive!

He walked to the equipment rack by the wall, took down the Level 4 civilization combat armor he brought from his home planet, and put it on piece by piece.

The armor fits snugly to the body, and its surface has a uniform matte finish under indoor lighting, with no excess gaps at the joints.

He moved his wrists and neck to make sure all his joints were flexible, then pushed open the hatch and walked toward the warehouse.

Based on the playback of the surveillance footage and real-time location data, he quickly determined Lin Mo's approximate activity range.

The built-in detection module in the armored helmet detected subtle spatial fluctuations in the area slightly to the left of the center of the warehouse. Although the fluctuations lasted for a very short time, their direction and movement path were basically consistent with the trajectory of the disappearance of the supplies.

Sally didn't get too close. He stopped about twenty paces away from the area and spoke slowly and deliberately into the empty passageway:

I know you're here.

To be able to move so much stuff without leaving a trace, they're no ordinary person.

I am the king here! Sali!

I meant no harm; I just wanted to talk to this friend.

He paused for a moment, as if giving the other person time to react, and then continued.

"Whether it's doing business or using the route, as long as it's not too excessive, I can accept it."

But if you keep moving things like this, I won't be able to explain it to the brothers who follow me, after all, they fought tooth and nail to get these things back.

Let's discuss the terms face-to-face.

"If you back down, I'll give you a reasonable reward, and then you can go your own way. I'll pretend I never saw you."

Lin Mo stopped a few steps away from him, remaining invisible, and listened to him finish speaking.

He thought for a moment, then broke out of his stealth state and revealed himself in front of Sally.

When Sally saw Lin Mo's appearance, he paused for a moment. It wasn't that he was surprised, but he found that the other party's appearance was very different from the Kunlun-type cultivators who specialized in biological evolution that he had originally imagined. He was more like the primates created by the Nuwa Group of the Kunlun Civilization.

"This matter is indeed related to the missing Carter!"

Sally muttered to himself, having already guessed most of how Lin Mo had infiltrated this place, but he didn't dwell on the details. Instead, he asked directly:

"What conditions will it take for you to stop and leave this place?"

Lin Mo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"I need most of the technological data of your Level 4 civilization."

Sally was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised by Lin Mo's request. After all, in his eyes, Lin Mo was an intelligent being focused on the evolution of life, so why would he be interested in silicon-based technology?

Lin Mo also curiously looked at Sally. He had a very fierce appearance and was over twenty meters tall. Although he was wearing a mecha, you could still see that his muscles were bulging. His head was somewhat similar to that of a minotaur Steppenwolf, with two large, curved horns.

After a moment of silence, Sally slowly spoke:

"This condition is a bit difficult. Technological data from a Level 4 civilization isn't readily available, and I don't have much of it! Let's change the terms!"

"So you're saying you're not serious about talking?"

"If I didn't have sincerity, I wouldn't have come to meet you!"

Sally's voice turned cold.

"If you're sincere, then you shouldn't be pretending to talk to me like this!"

Lin Mo sneered. He had just used his spiritual eye spell to take a look at the other party and discovered that the other party's appearance was actually a disguise.

Its main body is a pink paste-like substance with a huge eye in the center, somewhat resembling a strawberry jelly.

Sally was slightly taken aback:

"What are you saying!"

"You know exactly what I'm saying. If you want to continue talking, show me your true colors!"

The opponent is currently in disguise, wearing a mecha suit. Lin Mo is unsure if he can use the Bewitching Technique to control him. If he can, then he can be considered to have established a foothold in this Chaotic Star Sea.
