The pursuing life form from behind would probably not continue its chase. Jia Yan discovered numerous high-tech devices on this planet. Perhaps due to constraints and interferences from various parties, it didn’t have the kind of potent information control that Earthpeople possessed. After all, neither side engaged in war would allow technological devices to probe their actions.
This also facilitated the actions of the Big Mosquito. He felt that his safety was now relatively secured.
So, he stilled himself, stopping under a tree!
He wanted to clear up a problem that had bothered him for a long time!
Jia Yan looked down at the ground. In this forest, the abundance of Elderwood that grew sky-high blocked out most of the starlight from the sky.
In the far-off sky, there was a ’Sun’ that had yet to set, hanging overhead, casting a stubborn light on the ground.
That was the Brown Dwarf Star in the ’Scholes Star’ binary star system, a celestial body that was like a Stellar, but it was between a Stellar and a gas planet, extremely mysterious.
Jia Yan stared at the Brown Dwarf Star and gradually lowered his body.
A question kept spinning in his head!
"All along, what have I been relying on to mutate?! Or, what is the definition of my future mutation and the positioning of my food?!"
This was the most fundamental question. Jia Yan had pondered over it many times before, but each ended inconclusively. In harsher terms, he had been drifting along!
But now things had reached this point. If he didn’t solve this problem, his future direction would become unclear!
Jia Yan knew he hadn’t neglected the question before, but his living conditions had always been harsh. When he could evolve, he did, regardlessly, without hesitation or thinking too much. His body had now reached an almost extreme state. Even though Jia Yan knew that his path was still vast, if he kept being in the dark about the principles of his mutation, how could he continue to evolve?!
"The only thing I knew before was that I was relying on some unique mineral substances to mutate. If I didn’t get those substances, I wouldn’t be able to mutate!"
"But extremely, what are those special mineral substances? Reflect on it - firstly, Northeast Wild Tiger’s potion, those potions didn’t seem to be minerals and such, but the essence was the air of the Underground World. The air in the Underground World originated from the Mysterious Machinery of the Auster people. Looking at it now, that Mysterious Machinery was a machine for refining the Azure Material!"
Many matters, when carefully examined, reveal their true nature. Jia Yan was doing just that. He slowly connected his mutations to the substances he got, discovering a tight relationship between his mutations and those powerful mineral substances!
"The Azure Material is essential for my consistent mutation; even the one before was due to the Azure Material. If it weren’t for the Azure Material, I wouldn’t be this powerful now."
"But that doesn’t necessarily mean that my body can only absorb top-tier minerals related to the Azure Material. For instance, in the latest mutation on Neptune, I didn’t rely on the Azure Material. Instead, I relied on the spaceship of the Auster people to trigger the mutation! Therefore, my body is not limited to things related to the Azure Material!"
Jia Yan lay prostrated on the ground with a probing gleam in his compound eyes. He had slowly drawn conclusions from all the clues, but the most fundamental question was still unsolved.
That was, what would his food and the source of his future mutations be?!
They seemed to be minerals, but Jia Yan felt that something wasn’t right.
"No! Not minerals!" Suddenly, Jia Yan thought of a possibility!
"The things I’ve devoured, although they are like minerals, those are coincidences. Although they all share a commonality of containing a high level of energy! For example, the nutrient solution I previously devoured- its energy and nurturance levels were extremely high, which were able to restore my energy!"
A light finally appeared in Jia Yan’s compound eyes. The clouds parted to reveal the blue sky. Having sorted out all the past, he realized that the real matters he mutated weren’t just minerals, but those possessing powerful energy!
The reason why minerals were his major intake before was that they were the easiest for him to absorb and utilize. That was a physical problem, not something that confined his future to only using minerals!
"Yes! What I could truly utilize should be substances with extremely high energy. Of course, this energy isn’t randomly available. Although Stellar is an extremely powerful Energy Material in the Starry Sky, I can’t possibly jump into it. That would mean seeking death!"
Jia Yan finally had a clear understanding. If it was just Energy Material, there were actually plenty. Finding those suitable for him wasn’t that easy. Jia Yan knew his body. Although he had always successfully mutated in the past, he was actually picky. For example, most of the food that Gutan fed his Battle Pets contained relatively high energy. However, other than the nutrient solution, Jia Yan wasn’t able to adapt and digest!
