After considering for a while, Peter Brown said to everyone, "Esteemed seniors, I do have my concerns about this matter, as I don’t want to hinder everyone’s development. I agree with the idea of humans evolving into biohumans."
Upon hearing this, everyone visibly relaxed. The president sighed and said, "If it really can be done, our development will be greatly accelerated."
Peter continued, "Since it’s an era of mass evolution, we should no longer keep it hidden. We should inform everyone and allow them to choose for themselves. Didn’t I inscribe some cultivation arts on the stele? At that time, we should popularize these arts. If they can guide Qi into their bodies, I still hope to provide them with a path to cultivation."
The president nodded slightly and said, "I think your consideration is very necessary. Dividing evolution into two parts can also develop our cultivation endeavors."
Robert Williams asked, "Peter, I’m not very clear about this evolution matter. If someone evolves, will their children still have a chance to possess Spiritual Roots?"
Peter replied, "The improved evolution plan I propose will not affect this. Their children will still be ordinary people, with or without Spiritual Roots."
Robert Williams sighed in relief and said, "That’s good. More choices are better for everyone."
"I don’t know when your plan will be ready. Can an old man like me still evolve?" The Vice President asked the question that concerned everyone. Although he was also a cultivator, his cultivation had not been progressing for a long time, leaving him pessimistic.
Peter understood the old man’s thoughts. People like him were nearing the end of their extended lifespan. If they could truly evolve, they would be able to live a few more decades, which is a matter of great concern.
Peter explained, "Although Demon Beasts have much longer lifespans, they will still die if they cannot progress to the next rank. To my knowledge, a First Order Demon Beast’s cultivation is equivalent to humans at the Qi Refining Second Layer; Second Order is Qi Refining Fourth Level, and Third Order is Qi-refining Sixth Layer. These three levels are the easiest for Demon Beasts, and their cultivation upgrades quickly. If done well, the evolved humans could directly achieve the power of a Third Order Demon Beast and have the ability to survive in outer space. At that time, their life extension would only be about 100 years. If they can progress to higher levels, their life extension will increase by 20 years for each level."
The old man’s eyes sparkled, "Can biohumans also progress through ranks?"
Peter said, "In fact, after our improvements, biohumans are almost like a Mixed Blood Clan of humans and Demon Beasts. This kind of body can also cultivate, but they will practice special cultivation arts, not the normal cultivation arts. They still need a large amount of cultivation resources. Unfortunately, they can only cultivate up to a level equivalent to the Golden Core Stage and will eventually die."
"That’s enough. If one reaches the Golden Core Stage, that’s a life extension of hundreds of years. I, for one, will definitely choose to evolve," said the old man.
Everyone laughed upon hearing this. The life extension mentioned by Peter made them all excited. Mortals only had a few decades to live, but if they became evolved humans, they would have a life extension of hundreds of years.
The president also excitedly said, "If this is the case, our space expedition will become a possibility. This is great news!"
Peter thought about everyone’s ideas and understood them. Though a few hundred years may be short for cultivators, it is a very long time for mortals. For everyone, this is not a bad thing.
