Herodotus gazed at his body.

His body accelerated faster and faster, 36 times, 38 times... He aged swiftly, as if entering a realm of extraordinary Awakening, reaching an unbelievable state.

His consciousness thought rapidly, and the essence of his body suddenly appeared before him in a profoundly simple form. The genetic code the Gods were so proud of turned into a haphazardly assembled, unfinished skyscraper, crooked and mismatched.

"The Creation Technique has flaws."

"These genetic codes of life, having form but no spirit, are haphazardly pieced together, chaotic and disorderly."

Herodotus mused.

If creating life is akin to painting, then the Gods were like unoriginal AI artists, collecting fragments of various masterpieces to synthetically produce a plagiarized piece.

Such art, stitched together and unoriginal, lacks the seamless essence that a true master of painting strives for.

"Our creation has no essence, merely a hodgepodge."

"The Third Awakening should be bodily completeness."

A slight turn in his consciousness.

He eliminated the powerful Two-Star genes from his body — Elf, Fly, Mosquito....

Only the Two-Star "Electric Eel Gene" was retained as the primary gene, supplemented by a myriad of weak, auxiliary One-Star genes, highlighting the main gene in a perfect harmony.

The entire building was repaired by him, gradually becoming a magnificent and flawless gene structure.

Whoosh!

He was like a renowned master painter, reorganizing the genetic structure into a form that was perfect, harmonious, and carried the natural beauty of nature, manifesting an intrinsic rounded elegance.

On this Earth, all life, except for Li Qing, the alien, was crude and without any beauty, all steeped in ugly, ineffective code.

Even after billions of years of evolution on Earth, life still retained a massive amount of cumbersome and useless code, like a crooked, twisted skyscraper.

Now, he was Earth's first perfect life creation imbued with essence.

Endowed with pure and concise beauty, he was like the first being in the world to aspire to Longevity... a god!

A series of incredible numbers appeared in his mind.

Consciousness Awakening: 30%

"This is after our Second Awakening, our Third Awakening."

He sighed, feeling a sensation in the void, "This is the Third Realm of life, the end of mortal beings, the body perfect and complete, the created life imbued with essence, nourishing the soul."

And at this moment.

His heart was unburdened, letting out a sigh of relief, a sense of achievement filled his heart, followed by endless emptiness.

He felt as if he was going to die.

In a world of ultra-high frequency, his consciousness was like a candle flame, about to be extinguished.

"It's a pity, the time was shorter than I imagined, I had seven years of life, but now they are already entirely exhausted."

"Along the way, through the ages, now finally seeing the path of the Third Awakening, it is enough..."

He sighed heavily: "Three times of [Awakening] have given us some power to fight back."

He could have lived for much longer, but in this superspeed mystical world, he tread a path of complete aging.

He thought he was about to die, but the next moment.

His body, modified with the special ability of the Electric Eel, suddenly had his brain's consciousness wave merge with the body's electromagnetic wave, amplifying him like an electromagnetic wave amplifier, the consciousness wave suddenly expanded towards the entire world.

Whoosh!~~

He suddenly saw the countless souls drifting in the world through each extinction event.

He was startled in his heart: "These are the souls drifting in the world; they are also a form of consciousness wave energy."

"During each extinction event, in this enclosed world, the souls of the deceased did not disperse much, remaining preserved within this sealed world."

He opened his mouth wide and inhaled.

It was as if he swallowed the heavens and devoured the earth.

Gurgle.

A giant whale devouring.

He inhaled all the seventeen trillion lingering souls throughout the history of the Elf World in one breath.

He became a vast consciousness entity beyond imagination, countless fragments of memories impacting his mind, yet at this moment he also possessed a powerful telepathic ability, attuning to the voices of all living beings on the earth.

He suddenly had an epiphany, unable to hold back a low chuckle:

"This is the gift accumulated by the entire Civilization, the remnants of the souls of seventeen trillion beings in the air, aiding in the continuation of my depleted soul consciousness, vying for life from the heavens and earth, extracting some more time to live in this world!"

His exhausted consciousness was revived.

Whoosh.

"I now have more than twenty years left to burn, before dying of old age, to find the Fourth Awakening in one breath! To take the fourth step of life."

His golden eyes glimmered with strange light, his white hair flowing over his shoulders, agitated by static electricity into a wild dance in the wind, standing magnificently like a God Demon, stepping forward to vie for a future for Civilization, to continue pushing forward the major milestones of Civilization.

"Even such a vast reservoir of souls gives me considerable time, perhaps to find a new power to survive."

Walking on the earth, traversing the forest.

All kinds of common sense, knowledge, gradually faded away in his mind.

The terrible side effects began.

Like being overwhelmed by massive data, his consciousness submerged in the deep sea.

Gene compilation? What is that, gene storage? I don't remember, Divine Treasure Artifact? I don't understand.

Everything is getting farther away, as if it's a dream.

"My head hurts... too many fragmented memories, this is the price!" Herodotus transformed into an old man, struggling to walk on the ground of the World Tree, like a patient with dementia, increasingly forgetting who he was.

"But, consciousness is actually integrating."

"They didn't choose to reject me...it's their final instinct of trust, serving me as their Imperial General just like when they were alive..."

Herodotus was astonished to feel all of this.

As his consciousness wave completely merged with the electromagnetic wave, his entire body was transformed by him into a body electromagnetic sensor, sensing endless bands and information.

The fragmented remnants of the past of all Atabians merged into one mass.

"This is our final strength." It was as if countless people were rallying behind him, shouting in waves, offering their strength to Herodotus, the strongest Imperial Hero of the former Atabians.

"I hear your voices."

He sighed, looking at those lingering phantoms.

"I'm not the Emperor, but the Empire's General, a battle is needed, this power is enough to go to the front lines."

He stepped towards the front line.

"Before the power you give me runs out, I want to personally wipe out the command hierarchy of the entire Abyss World, to prevent them from uniting as one, and summoning that mysterious Ancient Demon Monarch Emperor."

"What happened?"

"Did something just pass by?"

Everyone seemed to see a white-haired, yet mighty and imposing old man, like a flash of a vision passing quickly by their side.

Step step!! With every step he took, his soul and consciousness felt like they were burning!

Consciousness was uncontrollably rapidly liberating, and even accelerating, like a high-speed train, going faster and faster, unable to stop!

Gradually, he even began to sense the consciousnesses of the Tree Gods from afar.

Telepathy.

He could even sense all Divine Treasure Artifacts of the Gods, linking all the Divine Treasure Artifacts to assist his calculations.

He seemed to possess the wisdom of the entire world.

Step!

He arrived at the World Tunnel.

On the enemy's front line, all the Abyss soldiers felt an oppressive presence in the mystical, consciousnesses being drawn.

This was an unimaginable supremely oppressive existence, an endless electromagnetic wave spreading from this Elf Divine King.

"What are you??"

The old man's body occasionally flashed with golden explosive arcs, as if clad in ancient divine attire, stepping in step by step, breaking into the defensive line.

Suddenly, this once former Imperial General raised his head, sensing certain anomalies, a black mysterious gigantic object outside the high Crystal Wall was rotating, the lens aiming at him.

"Hmm? Outside the world, observing me?"

His eyes mesmerizingly captivating, he looked up at the Celestial Vault beyond the Crystal Wall.

His thoughts rapidly raced, pouring all his mind into deciphering.

He watched that surveillance spherical camera, like a vast black eye of Chaos High Heaven, with mysterious kaleidoscopic patterns spinning within the pupil distance: "Is that the Treasure Artifact of the Chaos Outer God? This time I actually sensed some mysterious information waves, manipulating that mysterious creation."

Boom!

He connected to that kind of mysterious information wave, as if deciphering the genetic lock password of the other side, accessing inside, a phantom appearing sharply in consciousness.

Pshh!

He penetrated in, within those eyes, he saw two massive mysterious grand world overlooking pictures.

One gazing upon the entire Elf World.

Another gazing upon the entire Abyss World.

It was an entirely new experience of a wondrous perspective.

"These are the Chaos Ancient God, the God of Light, monitoring the land with a pair of chaotic eyes!" Even, he attempted to input certain bands, starting to operate the huge object in the Chaos outside the Crystal Wall.

Rustle.

Under his control, the perspective of the camera began to slowly rotate.

At this moment.

Herodotus's head ached, as if he entered a phase, at this moment, he saw countless colorful beams of light invisible to ordinary eyes, already able to freely read and parse various information bands in the endless void, his brain reciting a segment of numbers in the mysterious.

Consciousness Awakening: 40%

Crack!

"Whew! It's actually a scene from beyond the Chaos World! I can see more distant worlds! Observe the farther edge of the heavens and earth!"

He was amazed in his heart, even he was slightly absent-minded.

Hungrily attempting to control the Eye of the Ancient God beyond the silver Chaos of the world, adjusting the perspective, rotating the direction.

Quickly Herodotus saw outside the Elf Crystal Wall World, the Abyss Crystal Wall World, an adjacent third world.

In the third vast rectangular world within the silver Chaos.

Numerous devices were placed on shelves, while a genteel young man exuding a mysterious aura sat on a black divine throne, holding an unknown book of truth, his gaze turned, suddenly said:

"Herodotus, you've crossed the line."
