Chapter 21 The Magical Effect of Spiritual Rain

The strong sense of oppression caused the six people to instantly lose the ability to move. They felt as if a demon king from the abyss was staring at them closely! At this moment, Captain Fang reluctantly turned his head to look back, only to see a three-eyed octopus more than 200 meters tall with a purple-gray body appear behind them.

"Your Excellency... are you the Emperor of the Abyss?" Captain Fang asked nervously.

Noah slowly withdrew his oppressive aura and said, "Mortals, have you brought what I asked for?"

"We have it! It's right here!" Captain Fang immediately took out a bottle from his backpack. The bottle was half a meter high and filled with "Excellent Spiritual Rain." Noah rolled up the bottle with his tentacles, poured all the spirit rain into his mouth, and drank it.

[Ding! The host swallows 1,000 drops of "Excellent Spiritual Rain" and obtains 10,000 energy points!]

"Damn it! This small bottle of 'Fine Spiritual Rain' actually contains 10,000 points of energy. This is something," Noah thought. With this amount, he could drink hundreds of bottles at a time, yielding millions of energy points.

"Mortals, you have done well, but I am not satisfied yet. This spiritual rain is too little. I need more!" Noah said, still dissatisfied.

"Great Emperor, we do have some reserves of spiritual rain, but..." Captain Fang hesitated.

"Since I promised you, I will not go back on my word. Take it!" Noah handed out one of his teeth. It was nearly 2 meters long. Several people immediately stepped forward to catch the tooth, pretending to be excited.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoya stepped forward, looked at Noah, and then said excitedly, "Emperor, my name is Zhang Xiaoya, and I am a doctor of biological sciences from the Dragon Kingdom. I have a few questions to ask you. Is that okay?"

Her words not only confused Noah but also stunned the other team members. "Little Ancestor, you promised not to mess around, but you're actually asking such a scary monster face-to-face? Do you think you have a long life?"

However, Noah was in a good mood after drinking the spirit rain, and he would get more from them, so he nodded in agreement. "Well, I'll give you three chances to ask questions," Noah said.

"Thank you, Emperor! The first question is, what are the basis and shackles of biological evolution?" Zhang Xiaoya asked.

Noah thought for a moment and then replied, "There are three bases for biological evolution. One is to return to the ancestors, the second is to evolve further, and the third is to evolve in the direction of legendary creatures. You humans belong to the second type, and the Giant Turtle King belongs to the third type. But most other creatures belong to the first type!" He also drew this conclusion based on his observations during this period. It is not clear whether it is correct or incomplete.

Zhang Xiaoya didn't speak but nodded silently, deep in thought. "And the shackles are also very simple. The final evolutionary direction of all atavistic creatures is the strongest species in the evolutionary history of this species, which mutates; further evolution is in the direction of being more adaptable to the living environment of the current planet. For evolution, the shackles are oneself and the environment; as for the third type of shackles, they are also their bloodline!"

After listening to Noah's explanation, Zhang Xiaoya immediately had a flash of clarity in her mind. "I see! The second question is, will this change in Blue Star continue forever?" Zhang Xiaoya continued to ask.

"Currently, Blue Star is also undergoing an evolution, and this is the first wave of evolution. The next wave will come in more than 20 days, and you must be prepared to collect more spiritual rain by then!" Noah said, according to his own system prompts, providing the answer.

The expressions of Zhang Xiaoya and the team members beside him changed. The Giant Turtle King had just mentioned a large spiritual rain was coming, while the Abyss Emperor provided the specific time of its arrival. It seemed that the Abyss Emperor was stronger than the Giant Turtle King, at least in the thoughts of everyone present.

"Then the third question is, how do we humans deal with this?" Noah appeared thoughtful. He could deduce a few things about biology, but knew little about human survival. "Human beings are the intelligent life of Blue Star, with thousands of years of civilizational inheritance. I believe you can find your own way of survival from history!" Noah proclaimed confidently, despite feeling uncertain.

Yet his words resonated with Zhang Xiaoya and the team members, prompting a realization among them. Yes! Humans have experienced thousands of years, even tens of thousands, of history, enduring various challenges along the way. Surely they can overcome the current difficulties. The six bowed to Noah simultaneously. "Thank you, Emperor, for clearing up the confusion!"

"Well, I still need a lot of spiritual rain! Gather it all and I will come to receive it then!" Noah instructed. "Yes, I wonder how much spiritual rain the emperor needs?" Captain Fang inquired.

"500 bottles for today's quantity!" Noah stated without hesitation. Captain Fang hesitated. "Ahem! That... Great Emperor! We don't have such a large stock at the moment. Could we offer less?" They indeed had 500 bottles, but the evolvers in their fortress required some, preventing them from handing over the entire supply. "At least 300 bottles!" Noah replied sternly.

He was aware there were more than 500 bottles in Northern Fortress No. 1, but due to Captain Fang's response, he agreed to reduce it to 300 bottles. "Okay! We will deliver this batch of spiritual rain in 7 days, and the emperor can receive it at that time. Also, please keep this communicator!" Captain Fang offered.

"No need for this. I can sense the situation of your fortress at any time, and communicate with you consciously!" Noah dismissed the offer disdainfully. The group was shocked once more. The Abyss Emperor exhibited considerable strength, surpassing the Giant Turtle King in many aspects. He was truly remarkable.

"Okay then! We'll take our leave!" they remarked as they departed with Noah's instructions. Noah disappeared with a hiss and soared into the sky, disguised as a cloud. With the deal concluded, his next focus was the Tiger King in the northern mountains.

In his perception, the Tiger King was still sleeping, unaware of the approaching threat. Noah swiftly floated near the mountain range and employed the "Detection Technique" on the Tiger King. [Name: Black Striped Tiger King] [Bloodline: Rare (Higher)] [Gender: Male] [Status: Mature Stage] [Weight: 30 tons] [Power: 150 tons] [Speed: 360 meters per second] [Defense: 100 tons endurance] [Skills: "Death Claw", "Deadly Tail Whip", "Crash", "Being a Tiger", "Crazy", "Terror Bite"] [Talents: "Land Lord", "Danger Sense"] Despite its small size of 26 meters, the Tiger King's attributes were truly remarkable, with many skills and speeds surpassing Noah. "Enough! It's time to hunt!"
