1758: Chapter 1754: Becoming Human 1758: Chapter 1754: Becoming Human The ninth-tier, although it appeared in large numbers in this war, was previously considered at the level of Mountain Town Demons and behind-the-scenes manipulators in various countries and regions.
Generally speaking, they do not interfere too much in the world of ordinary people…what they crave no longer directly involves mortals.
Unless they plan to ascend and need to establish their own church and recruit human-world spokespersons, they basically operate outside the mortal vision.
They might serve a Deity, but only because the Deity provides the “materials” they need.
Quasi-Gods often have some respect and reverence for True Gods.
In many aspects, Quasi-Gods are independent forces rather than mere individuals.
“…In just a few years, it has come to this point.”
Lu Ping’an’s advancement did not conceal the news; on the contrary, it was even actively publicized for a certain period.
He needed a reason to avoid some troublesome issues.
However, reaching this level at this age also demonstrated the possibility of ascending to higher levels.
So, as long as Lu Ping’an exhibits an attitude of “viewing power as dirt” and “having no interest in interfering in mortal society,” most of his requests would receive green lights.
No, this was still before…after experiencing this war, the desire for top combat power on Earth and among humans would increase several times, especially those seeds with the potential to challenge the God Above Gods.
At that time, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t need to do anything; opportunities, connections, and resources would come to him, only hoping he would advance further.
“Since I can use the cauldron to shape life with my own life rules…then why can’t I use it to shape myself.”
Lu Ping’an’s life ability made most transformative life abilities immune to him, similar to most abilities, except for self-cursing/change.
His various values were actually significantly low…compared to other eighth or ninth-tier Big Shots, Lu Ping’an’s physique was too weak, his strength too small, and his basic attributes not on the same level at all.
This was not only due to his youth and lack of accumulation (compared to senior Quasi-Gods) but also because Lu Ping’an’s self-cognition has always been “human.”
This was his advantage and his weakness.
He could transform his magic pets into parts of himself, just as humans use “tools,” making them extensions of his body.
However, once the armor was removed, and the weapon set aside, he would become a “mortal” again.
Also, due to this cognition, when he became a “human-shaped panel,” enjoying the lowest-cost and fewest side-effect revival services among advanced combat power…as long as he paid a small enough fee, even losing wouldn’t cause much loss.
A human template has achieved him and also limited him.
“If it’s only about becoming ninth-tier, I might be able to do it at any time…”
In just human form to become a Quasi-God, Lu Ping’an only needed a thought.
But this time, after experiencing the bitter battle with the God Above Gods, even Lu Ping’an, who has always had a slight inclination towards “Greater Humanity,” had to admit that in the Multi-universe, the racial value of the human mortal race was a bit too low.
In fact, this is not Lu Ping’an’s personal opinion, but a reality accepted by the entire world.
The Eastern Country has always been efficient; in past racial evolution competitions, humans defeated all Earth’s animals, but in the survival competition in the upcoming Multi-universe, mortals, unable to directly tap into Extraordinary Power, are naturally at a disadvantage.
This battle was actually a life-and-death struggle between human extraordinaries and foreign domain extraordinaries…..change the world, and when Earth’s technology no longer works, the odds of success will greatly reduce, and the absolute gap in basic troops will lead to eventual collapse.
In fact, although same-tier human extraordinaries are stronger than foreign domain extraordinaries…that is the power of the “professional” advancement system; at a certain level, human professionals can no longer be considered merely human.
And if the opponent’s extraordinaries have their own system of cultivation and evolutionary extraordinary system, then the initial racial value advantage might lead to talent abilities, professional skills, and other differences, ultimately resulting in humanity’s loss.
Those Fishmen inherently have combat power strength of two or three tiers…..but from another perspective, they haven’t undergone guidance and cultivation evolution; Lu Ping’an is undefeatable even to a ninth-tier Nine-Headed Dragon, but if the bloodline-evolved ninth-tier Nine-Headed Dragon also trains sufficiently in a battle-profession, the combat outcome would be entirely different.
It’s indeed praiseworthy for humans to defeat beasts with weapons…but doesn’t this precisely indicate that it’s an “against the odds” victory?
Strip away those extra weapons and armor, and humans can’t even fight beasts of equivalent specifications, let alone those inherently extraordinary mighty races.
This time, the Octopus Forces that came were only a fraction of the entire Multi-universe forces, and humanity’s side almost got settled; their ethnic group could mass-produce many strongmen by just eating and reproducing, and in the basic foundation of postnatal evolution, humans couldn’t compare.
Also to totally reverse this trend, the Eastern Country has long had research and projects in this area, and Lu Ping’an and Chris have deeply understood them.
In fact, were it not for the pressure of Plane War, the “national upgrade” project might have been promoted long ago.
“….This advancement is also an opportunity for me.”
The “upgrade projects” that had already begun implementation had almost no meaning for Lu Ping’an.
But if he wants to become the God Above Gods, the current “template” is undoubtedly a bit weak, falling to the bottom in an eighth-tier panel value, and Lu Ping’an doesn’t truly wish to remain at the bottom in ninth-tier, needing strategy and armament to gain advantage against other Quasi-God Level Creatures…how satisfying to tear by hand, why the need to think, isn’t this because of your weakness.
Lu Ping’an needs a higher ceiling, while other extraordinaries can only endure with great difficulty, but after his invention ability upgrades this time, the “Hatching Pool’s” reshaping of Life Authority rang the alarm bells in his spiritual intuition.
“My kin have formed a part of me as a human; they are also my past and accumulation….”
At this moment, Lu Ping’an genuinely contemplated “not being human” anymore.
The other three items, from the World-Destroying Three Gods, are also Lu Ping’an’s spoils of war.
They share the same source….during this period, Lu Ping’an has already analyzed their power, with the seeds having spread within his soul, now just utilizing the “Ten Thousand Spirits” for fusion.
This is the material chosen by Lu Ping’an to create the magic pet named “Lu Ping’an,” and this time, the three main materials still used the old template, his self-consciousness’s most recognized template.
However, this time with a slight adjustment, for a stronger body, Lu Ping’an separated the Bone Flesh Foundation into “Foundation of Bones” and “Flesh Factor.”
“The bones of Steel-Forged Xingtian became my Newborn’s Foundation of Bones.”
That nearly invincible body strength left too profound an impression on Lu Ping’an; those active bones would be the most suitable components to become the skeletal support of the new body.
“The flowing flame blood became the liquid flowing through the new life’s vessels….”
The Fiery Flame Seed of the Golden Crow became the Blood Essence of new life.
It can be the fluid connecting the body, but can also be a weapon; these liquefied flames, if not for Lu Ping’an already being able to control this Fire Seed, would instinctually burn everything.
“The flesh and blood of Dragon-Snake and limbs of infinite regeneration became the keystones for reconstructing the flesh, the flesh factor of my body….”
The new flesh seemed to construct a human form in the Hatching Pool, always missing the last piece.
“…And what still makes it human instead of a beast is undoubtedly its wisdom and self-cognition, that one piece of material is…me.”
Lu Ping’an plunged into the “Blood-pool,” the last Core of Wisdom, containing only his humanity, memory, wisdom, etc.
This time, he will be reborn, which in a certain sense is a complete death, which he couldn’t fully explain.
However, he was already destined to embrace a qualitative change and rebirth….
I am human, I am Lu Ping’an…..”
