Xue Hua lay on the boulder and thought endlessly in his mind, he thought of the two little girls who were still in the Howorth Islands, preparing to advance to the trial, and also thought of Oman, who had just been accepted as a junior apprentice by Kane......

But no matter how much he tries to diverge his mind, eventually his mind will return to square one.

This origin is what Leorik said to him in the tomb.

The road to detachment is destined to be difficult and full of thorns, and it is a way against the sky that may die at any time.

The road to upgrading, safe and stable, step by step, along the ladder cast by the rules step by step to climb the road of Shuntian.

Which is better or worse?

It's hard to define, and it's hard to choose.

Leorik had told him that it was time for him to make a choice.

If he continues to follow the path of a professional in this way, it will be equivalent to automatically choosing a second, safer path.

But how exactly do you embark on the path to detachment?

Leorik didn't say anything, just looked at him with a meaningful look.

Just when Xue Hua was puzzled by Leorik's intentions, Abasser's voice suddenly sounded in the mind of the main nest.

"Juggernaut, the mutation scheme for your psionic system has been fully optimized, do you want to start evolving and mutating immediately?"

Hearing its words, Xue Hua's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration.

He slumped up from the rocks and asked Abbather in a solemn tone, "Reintroduce me to your optimized mutation scheme." ”

"The new mutation scheme is based on the high-purity evolutionary psionic energy obtained before, with the help of the evolutionary information stored by the sublimation skill, and your psionic energy level as nourishment, completely stripping and hiding the psionic energy system in your body from the rule network, so that you can get rid of the rules of this world and have the ability to evolve to a high-level life independently."

Abbather introduced it one by one, but Xue Hua didn't understand what it said.

So he ordered Abbather to tell him directly what he would gain and what he would lose by this mutation.

"You'll have more freedom to level up, and the swarm will be free from the rules of the world.

But this kind of breaking free is a two-way street, and when you are free from the rules, the rules of this world will no longer shelter you.

Although I was able to keep you using this world's psionic apparatus by hiding your psionic information, you would lose all of your class levels and class psionic skills.

This is a trivial loss compared to gaining, and the skills of using psionic energy can be imitated and changed at will through the improvement of psionic mastery, just like those super strong people who exist in this world, they can shape their psionic skills at will.

Another loss for you is that you won't be able to gain 'Upgrade Energy' by slaughtering hostile creatures of lower psionic levels, but when you defeat a more powerful enemy, the Ascend skill will absorb much more 'Evolution Energy' for you than you would have otherwise.

The current Sublimation skill energy reserve has reached a threshold, and with just one more small energy build, your high-level life sublimation will fully begin. ”

"I see... After a long day, the road to detachment is this! ”

After listening to Abasser's words, Xue Hua slapped his thigh excitedly.

Isn't Abbather's skill mutation scheme the so-called "path to transcendence"?

Completely breaking free from the shackles of the rules of the world, it is also no longer protected by the rules of the world, and at the same time, it is impossible to improve one's strength by killing a large number of low-level demon projections and demon clones, and can only obtain growth nutrients from the corpses of opponents by constantly challenging the stronger.

Lose a fixed class skill, but gain a more dexterous means of using psionic energy.

Lose your career rank, but get a less one-of-a-kind path to promotion.

Lose the stat data, lose the so-called "mana cap", and take all the power out of the rules and return it to itself.

The effect of the equipment worn on the body is not as obvious as that of the professional.

After the evolution was completed, there were only three characteristics left in Xue Hua's eyes.

- Defense strength, psionic amplification level and sharpness.

It turns out that this is what Leorik called "the path of detachment"!

But how did he know......

Xue Hua's brows furrowed again, and Leorik's meaningful glance made him feel like everything about himself had been seen through.

"Juggernaut, do you want to start skill mutation right away?"

Just when Xue Hua was still struggling, Abasser's voice sounded in the mind of the main nest again.

"Hmm... Let me think about it......"

In the face of inquiry, he frowned hesitantly.

Xue Hua is the master of the swarm, and the swarm is an important source of his strength and the strongest backing.

The swarm, which is very large in number and evolutionary potential, is more than capable of fully supporting his ambitions for this universe.

From this point of view, it doesn't seem to make sense whether he is strong or not.

Therefore, the slow but safe path to upgrade seemed to be the choice he should make.

Let the swarm evolve step by step, and eventually they will be strong enough to face any enemy head-on, and at that point, the only threat he faces will be to beware of enemy decapitation tactics.

It seems to work, and you don't have to take so many risks and go through so many thrilling moments.

Xue Hua is adventurous, but he doesn't like to play with his life like he faces Skeletron every time......

Skeletron's strength has made him deeply aware of the horrors of those extraordinary powers in this world.

Facing such a terrifying existence, Xue Hua thought that he didn't have the good luck to come back alive every time.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet!

However, just when the scales in Xue Hua's heart began to play on the path of stable upgrades, a hypothesis about biological evolution that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life suddenly appeared in his memory for no reason.

This hypothesis is called the "Red Queen Hypothesis".

It is to the effect that living things need to evolve to stay in their original natural place, and to stop means to go backwards.

And if living things want to move themselves to the top of the pyramid in the natural world, they need to be supported by leapfrog evolution and biologically bold adventures.

This hypothesis was just passing through Xue Hua's mind at that time, and it should have been completely forgotten by him, but for some reason, it suddenly jumped out of the depths of his memory at this time, and it still appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

What does that mean?

Xue Hua slowly frowned.

Leapfrogging evolution and adventure?

Does continuous evolution just keep living things in place?

... I see!

After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his head as if he understood something, and a transparent light flashed in his eyes.

The process of evolution of living things is a process of survival and continuity.

Swarms evolve for different purposes, but in the end, they are the same.

If you want to be stronger, you have to take risks.

You can only jog on the spot step by step, and if you want to surpass, you have to take bigger steps!

You are evolving, others are evolving, and your enemies are evolving.

The Sarnagars, the demons, they get stronger with each passing day.

Want to be faster and stronger than them?

Then run! Jump! Take a leap!

Even if you step on a stake the size of a pinpoint and run on a river with magma rushing under your feet, it is better than crossing the bridge safely and being held by the enemy with a knife on your neck!

Thinking of this, Xue Hua nodded violently and said to Abbather in the mind of the main nest.

"Let's get started!"
