Li Tianran's expression was rather unpleasant.

He knew a little about that European Union film. His mind conjured up a group of powerful figures who could fly, escape into the earth, travel through interstellar space, or even traverse time dimensions. These were creatures that modern technology simply couldn't resist. It was no exaggeration to say that any one of those superheroes could easily destroy a planet and its civilization.

For some beings who could travel through time and space, creating nuclear fusion with their bare hands wasn't impossible...

"What the hell are we even fighting for..." Li Tianran couldn't help but blurt out.

Just imagine hundreds of thousands of Hulks or hundreds of thousands of Thors charging at you; who could withstand that?

Intercontinental weapons would be insignificant in their presence!

"I'm just using an analogy. Some Second Evolutionaries might have abilities similar to these fictional superheroes, but their combat power isn't as outrageous as you imagine!" Bai Jingyan smiled and said, "As we all know, Blue Star civilization is currently at about level 0.7! The power of a level 1 civilization is embodied in the master of planetary energy, meaning they can control the sum of energy from this planet and its surrounding satellites."

"If Second Evolutionaries really had the power of the Avengers, then it's clear that they could break through the limitations of a level 1 civilization with just their physical bodies and special abilities!"

"But if Blue Star was truly completely dominated by them, then there shouldn't be humans here now! They should have long ago elevated their civilization level to a higher stage during these long years, and marched into the starry sky!"

"Why were the traces of their civilization buried, and why did they fall into slumber?"

"Perhaps because of a catastrophic natural disaster, or perhaps because of a powerful enemy!"

"But no matter which angle you analyze it from, you can come to this conclusion: there are still things on Blue Star that they can't resist! Forcing them to preserve their race through this method!"

"This is enough to show that, whether in terms of physical ability or technological level, they have not reached the level of a level 1 civilization..."

"According to my prediction, their overall strength is perhaps above a level 0.95 civilization, but below a level 0.99!"

After listening to Bai Jingyan's analysis, Li Tianran nodded in agreement after careful consideration.

What he said made sense.

If the creatures that would awaken in the Fourth Cataclysm really possessed the power to rule the entire Blue Star and ignore any planetary-level disasters, then their past slumber seemed somewhat unreasonable. No powerful civilization would give up development for no reason, choosing to sink into the ground along with their empire, unless they encountered an irresistible threat.

And that meant...although they were powerful, they weren't mythical.

"Second Evolution, Second Evolution..." Li Tianran calmed down. He began to think, and then asked Bai Jingyan: "Based on our current level, is it possible to promote Second Evolution through technical means?"

Bai Jingyan shook his head after a moment of silence: "To be honest, we haven't even completely analyzed the gene technology of First Evolutionaries yet."

Indeed, the highest biological technology currently possessed by humans is, at most, copying the ancestral genes of First Evolution, and they cannot even produce gene potions for the other three evolutionary paths, let alone the higher level of Second Evolution?

Li Tianran took out a level 5 fruit seed.

"Level 5 Super God-Tier Buff Crop Seed

Required Planting Soil: Level 5 Top-Grade Black Soil

Required Shelter Level: Level 4 National-Level

Description: Level 5 crops are very rare and very fragile. Their planting and cultivation costs are very high, and their growth cycle is very long and difficult. Their survival rate is very low, and their unique maturation method may attract powerful creatures to compete for them, so before planting them, first make sure you have the ability to protect them!"

Level 5 crop!

Li Tianran looked at the seed in his palm. Ever since he learned that level 4 crops could allow creatures to complete evolution, Li Tianran had been very curious about the effects of level 5 fruits.

However, due to the harsh conditions required for its growth, Li Tianran had not been planting it.

The effects of five levels of crop products will only be fully displayed after they mature. Although Xiao Hei once became an Evolutionary after swallowing half of a level 4 seed, the probability was very small. Directly taking a level 4 seed could potentially lead to adverse mutations...

"Level 5 fruit, can it promote Second Evolution?" Li Tianran pondered for a moment, touching his chin: "No matter what, I have to try it. Even if it can't promote Second Evolution, from its literal meaning, it can greatly improve my strength..."

"Moreover, the power of Kuangxi Island is already strong enough to be called a major power-level force. If I complete the upgrade at this time, there will no longer be the concerns of insufficient firepower and inability to take care of everything."

Li Tianran made a decision. He clutched the level 5 fruit seed and opened the system store interface.

"Do you want to spend points to purchase a level 4 Shelter Upgrade Scroll?"

Li Tianran glanced at his number of points and calmly selected: "Yes!"

...

Ding Lu, carrying two boxes of red wine and some fresh beef tenderloin, knocked on the apartment door where Damian's family lived.

Recently, Ding Lu had been coming here more and more frequently, bringing a large number of daily necessities each time, and his relationship with Isabella had also been advancing by leaps and bounds, but only Ding Lu himself knew how far it had really progressed.

Soon, Damian's family opened the door after hearing the knock and welcomed Ding Lu in.

After walking into the living room, Ding Lu found that in addition to Damian's family, there were also several blond-haired, blue-eyed Europeans in the living room. Seeing Ding Lu walk in, the Europeans stood up, bid farewell to Damian's family, and walked out, brushing past Ding Lu's shoulder.

"They are friends of Isabella's father, who happened to be in the Kuangxi Island construction team this time. The construction team is about to withdraw, and they came to say goodbye." Damian's wife smiled and explained to Ding Lu.

The news of Damian's presence on Kuangxi Island was not hidden from the world. Because after the Tyrannosaurus-type weapon was unveiled, the European Union could easily see that this was technology from their research laboratory. With a little contact, they could find out where Damian was now.

Recently, people from various countries had been on Kuangxi Island, and the location of Damian's family was not a secret, so it was easily found by some people.

As of now, Damian and Kuangxi Island still maintained an employment relationship. Li Tianran did not restrict his family from socializing with others, but he sent some people to protect their safety.

After Ding Lu put down the things, he politely chatted with Damian's family for a few words, and then turned around and left.

Half an hour later.

Ding Lu met Isabella outside the farm castle.

"Those people have come several times, they aren't just here to catch up with my father." Isabella said nervously, "They want my father and family to return to the European Union!"
