"Black magic orb? Inside the Ancient Tomb? And there's a Corpse King???"
Jiang Tian stared blankly at the new terms in the simulation.
"Damn, I thought Corpse Beetle King was the final boss here, but what I faced were just minions."
"There's an even stronger being hidden inside the Ancient Tomb!"
Jiang Tian originally thought he could safely loot treasures after killing Corpse Beetles.
But unexpectedly, a stronger monster lurks inside the Ancient Tomb.
"The Corpse King isn't urgent to kill; I still have time to increase my strength."
"The most important takeaway from this simulation is that with my current constitution, I can now safely swallow the metal fragment."
Jiang Tian solidified the Diver talent into reality, then picked up the metal fragment.
Without hesitation, he swallowed it.
The metal fragment activated his Gold-Eating Constitution and Race Enhancement talents.
Strange ripples spread through Jiang Tian's body; his previously simple Easy-mode gene structure grew more complex through talent improvements.
On his black shell, a bright silver streak appeared and blended with the black.
The foggy black shell suddenly gleamed like polished armor.
His mandibles, legs, and antennae hardened.
This time, Jiang Tian's body didn't grow bigger; absorbing metal made it more refined.
When the strengthening finished, his roughly seven-centimeter body shrank back to about six centimeters.
[Ding! Race Enhancement and Gold-Eating Constitution successfully fused into a new talent—Race Modification.]
[Race Modification] (Legendary): The race you control shares your biochemical modification talent (with reduced effect).
You gain more trait enhancements and can direct evolution paths, removing race death penalties.
Reading the talent description, Jiang Tian understood the change.
Previously, he only acted as a terminal container, accepting all powers and traits and manifesting them.
Now, upgraded talents still accept all powers but can convert unwanted powers into what he desires.
For example, if he wants more defense but receives strength, he can convert all strength into defense.
This way, he need not worry about becoming a freak.
Also, Jiang Tian can now decide the Insectoid Race's evolution direction, slowly changing their forms.
If he wants the race to evolve into swift types, he can direct the majority of absorbed power into agility.
"This function is great!"
"With it, I can let the Queen Ant consume creatures more aggressively without worrying about controlling the Ant Tribe's evolution direction carefully."
Jiang Tian had long wanted to cultivate flying Ant Tribe to scout nearby, but controlling flight evolution was difficult.
Now, with Race Modification, he can remodel the Insectoid Race's forms himself.
"I can base my Insectoid Race army on the insectoid races from StarCraft and the Terrans from Warhammer, instead of being limited to the current Ant Tribe."
Jiang Tian thought.
"Time to unlock the reproductive traits of Worker Ants; my Insectoid Race army is starving."
Jiang Tian exchanged some green stones and fed them to Queen Ant.
He summoned the Ant Colony and fed purple liquid and mysterious flowers to the Ant Tribe not yet at limit.
He also exchanged information on the Corpse King and continued simulating.
[Please choose your talents: ...]
...
Following simulations all ended with Jiang Tian being eaten by the Corpse King.
Meanwhile, more Ant Tribe reached saturation in evolution, reducing chances for Jiang Tian to recover stamina and spirit.
When purple liquid and mysterious flowers became useless, Jiang Tian could no longer recklessly waste simulation attempts.
After the last simulation, he climbed out of the nest, exhausted, and came to the surface.
This was Jiang Tian's first time above ground since transmigrating.
The scene shocked him.
The vegetation around the nest had been entirely eaten by the Ant Tribe, leaving only uneven roots above ground.
Looking farther, the lush grass was cut like wheat, and a busy group of Ant Tribe worked on the turf.
"Oh my! Is this the Insectoid Race?"
"At this rate, they'll devour this forest soon..."
"Terrifying... I better go back to sleep..."
