Chapter 525: Chapter 321 Endless Evolution_2

Although such enhancement might not seem significant to humans intent on capturing, it still completely failed to prevent hunting and encirclements by humans.

But since it was effective, that was enough.

It had at least achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1, and there was a chance for further enhancement in the future.

Besides, as of now, the Black Tide Alliance had been largely destroyed by Chen Yun.

The remaining minor forces that he hadn’t bothered with had become like rats crossing the street under the crackdown of various governments, completely devoid of any space to survive.

In such a situation,

There were basically no forces globally that could organize large-scale hunting of orcas; scattered ordinary hunters couldn’t manage to capture orcas.

Moreover, in the face of stringent government crackdowns on the global wildlife market, it was difficult for captured orcas to be sold, naturally weakening the related industries.

So, all in all,

There wasn’t really any need to worry about the orcas’ future safety.

Reflecting on this,

After he had finished enhancing the orcas,

Chen Yun silently departed.

Next,

Besides the orcas, there was also a certain black bear and a ginkgo tree he had planted himself.

Since he had enhanced the orcas,

The other creatures that were not nearby also couldn’t be forgotten.

After Chen Yun’s consciousness returned to his body, he instantly had an out-of-body experience and arrived at Yibin Laojun Mountain near the Hengduan Mountains in Sichuan.

In this vast Primitive Forest, Chen Yun’s consciousness inhabited a Flying Sword ornament hanging around the black bear’s neck.

It was deep into the night.

The black bear was lying under a tree, deeply asleep.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

The night at Laojun Mountain was profound and mysterious, making the sounds in the forest especially clear at this moment.

Occasionally, the rustling of nocturnal animals would break the silence; it was the sound of their footsteps searching for food in the darkness. The moonlight, filtering through the gaps between branches, cast mottled shadows, draping this ancient forest in a layer of silver gauze.

Chen Yun’s consciousness drifted with a gentle breeze, softly waking the sleeping black bear.

Its massive body had been moving slightly in its dreams, its nostrils flaring.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, "Hey dum-dum, time to wake up!"

This immediately startled it awake.

Looking around and not finding Chen Yun,

It realized that it was indeed Chen Yun’s voice.

With its limited intelligence, it couldn’t understand that this was a sound made by Chen Yun using telekinesis to vibrate the air.

So, Chen Yun used telekinesis to push the black bear toward a certain mountain top.

The black bear initially resisted,

But soon realized that it was a path it had traveled before and started walking automatically without being pushed.

The black bear moved through the darkness, unimpeded by the dim light as it was familiar with every inch of the land, every scent, and even the chirping of insects felt like familiar neighbors.

Soon, it reached the ginkgo tree that Chen Yun had personally planted.

The ginkgo tree remained as Chen Yun had left it; even though the trees around it were growing, it seemed to be stuck in that moment.

After all, it had only been planted less than a month ago.

Reflecting on this,

Chen Yun immediately began the important task.

He directly used his nurturing ability on the black bear and the ginkgo tree.

As life force slowly flowed into it, subtle changes began in the black bear’s body; its muscles became firmer, and its bones seemed to have been augmented by some strength, becoming sturdier.

This feeling,

Made the black bear comfortably close its eyes.

Although its body seemed to be regrowing, it felt no pain.

Instead, it was filled with a soothing sensation.

It was the pleasure of life transforming.

The black bear had never experienced such a sensation

While the black bear was closing its eyes to enjoy, the neighboring ginkgo tree also began to change.

The ginkgo tree seemed to be suddenly endowed with new vitality, its trunk subtly trembling, and its leaves started to emit a faint green glow.

In the originally calm air, there seemed to be a subtle disturbance, like ripples gently spreading on the water surface, slowly extending upward from the roots.

As Chen Yun continued to channel life force, the roots of the ginkgo tree began to slowly and firmly penetrate deeper into the soil, drawing more nutrients.

The cracks on the bark gradually healed and became smooth and elastic.

The crown of the tree, where the leaves were once slightly tender, now became thick. The color shifted from light green to deep green as if each leaf harbored abundant Life Force.

Chen Yun continued to guide the Life Force, significantly accelerating the growth speed of the gingko tree.

The once-stagnant trunk began to slowly thicken, new branches quietly sprouted from the main trunk, stretching out more fine twigs.

These newly grown branches bore leaves as tender as newborn babies, yet filled with vitality.

As the night deepened, the changes in the gingko tree became more and more apparent.

The small tree, which was originally as tall as Chen Yun, now stood over five meters tall, with a much-expanded canopy.

Originally, when Chen Yun was about to leave, he hoped that upon his return, he could say, "The mountain has a gingko tree, planted by my hand in its first year of evolution, now towering like a canopy."

Now, it seems.

It might indeed be appropriate to say that.

Though it implies a sort of cheating.

It is not as Chen Yun had hoped, where after the passage of time and his remaining young, he watched the gingko tree grow robustly.

But in some sense.

This gingko tree indeed resembles a towering canopy.

This made Chen Yun couldn’t help but feel quite moved as he gazed toward the horizon where Chenxi was gradually emerging.

So then...

What is the meaning of evolution?

In nature, evolution refers to the process of species changing over time.

It results from the combined effects of genetic mutations, natural selection, gene flow, and other factors.

Evolution enables species to better adapt to their environment, thereby increasing their chances of survival and reproduction. From a biological perspective, the purpose of evolution is to maintain the diversity and stability of ecosystems, ensuring life can continue and develop in various environments.

Such endless evolution of oneself.

Is it really for continuation and development?

More precisely, does the current self really need to evolve?

What is the meaning of endlessly evolving?

Chen Yun couldn’t help but wildly speculate.

When the first rays of dawn pierced through the treetops and illuminated the forest clearing,

The black bear slowly opened its eyes, concluding this experience of evolution.

First, a hint of confusion flashed in its eyes.

Then it was surprise!

It stood up, its massive body moving agilely through the woods as if every movement was more effortless than before.

It approached the creek, lowered its head to drink, and the reflection in the water stunned it—though its appearance hadn’t changed much, it felt a significant increase in its strength.

Chen Yun’s consciousness was quietly observing all this.

The morning at Laojun Mountain was so peacefully beautiful, the air filled with the fresh scent of soil and plants, refreshing and soul-soothing.

Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, creating pillars of light that shone on the moist ground, the dewdrops sparkling under the light.

The black bear stared at the scenery, lost in thought.

Its mind, also vaguely enhanced, started doing something as meaningless as humans: looking at the scenery.

And so did Chen Yun.

Staring at the distant scenery, he became somewhat entranced.

At this moment.

He felt a bit dazed and suddenly realized.

Perhaps the meaning of evolution lies in pushing things to develop in a better direction.

Evolution is a driving force, prompting various systems or individuals to adapt to change, overcome difficulties, and achieve a higher state of existence.

Endless evolution shouldn’t confuse him; rather, it should make him look forward to it.

He still wanted to see just how high the sky was.

And where was he now?

He was merely someone who could destroy human civilization given enough time.

What was there to be proud or complacent about?

Compared to continents, compared to planets, compared to stars...

Even compared to the infinite Universe.

His existence was just an ant.

He hadn’t even seen a glimpse of the higher vistas yet.

Pondering.

Chen Yun harbored a strong anticipation for his thirteenth evolution the day after tomorrow.
