The mitochondria in its muscle cells can directly convert Primordial Qi into bioenergy, freeing the massive body’s energy consumption from reliance on oxygen and conventional food.

Even the current Wang Ye is still relying on Light Energy to produce bioenergy, unable to directly utilize Primordial Qi for energy supply,

this mode of energy supply inevitably aroused a hint of curiosity in Wang Ye.

"It’s indeed quite interesting..."

Wang Ye’s pupils gradually dilated to their normal size, a strong curiosity emerged in his eyes.

Is this structure, which is countless times more intricate than machinery, really a product of natural evolution?

Sometimes one can’t help but marvel at the wonders of natural evolution.

Then Wang Ye murmured: "But how can I simulate the evolution of such a special molecular structure?"

He couldn’t even perceive the details at the molecular level now, relying on the chemical reactions of Crystal Cluster Fragments to barely explore the special structure of high-elasticity muscle fibers. How could he possibly rely on himself to evolve such specialized muscle fiber structures? This is not like diamond or carbon acetylene, which might be compressed into a diamond or carbon acetylene structure with sufficient pressure; such a precise molecular structure often requires more delicate craftsmanship.

And Wang Ye clearly lacks such craftsmanship.

"Still have to rely on Crystal Cluster Fragments?" Wang Ye suddenly felt that most of his future evolution might have to rely on these Extraterrestrial Crystal Clusters.

The current Crystal Cluster veins still have plenty remaining, so he doesn’t have to worry about the source of these Crystal Clusters for the time being.

But what if these Crystal Cluster veins are eventually exhausted by him or other countries?

How would he find new Crystal Cluster veins then?

Wang Ye pondered for a moment and slowly said: "Since these Crystal Clusters were brought by ancient meteorites, it suggests that there’s a probability of such Crystal Cluster veins existing in other meteorite craters on Earth."

However, most meteorite craters on Earth have long been explored by humans, and the probability of unknown veins existing is almost zero.

Only a few undersea meteorites may not have been explored by humans.

So he still has to evolve himself as much as possible to a stage that can operate independently in space before running out of Crystal Clusters; by then, his exploration map would be more extensive.

Reflecting on this, Wang Ye continued to examine the high-elasticity muscle fibers in front of him, first attempting to use Primordial Qi to alter the molecular structure of his body’s muscle fibers.

But the result was evident; there was no change. His Primordial Qi precision was not yet sufficient to manipulate molecular structures freely.

He then focused on the cultivation chamber beside him. Each cultivation chamber in this cloning laboratory is the volume of three people, filled with nutrition liquid.

"Since Crystal Clusters can react with any liquid, placing them in nutrition liquid should also trigger Indigo Mist." Wang Ye squinted. From his current understanding of the Indigo Mist released by Crystal Clusters, this mist could excite molecular vibrations, making the energy fluctuations at the microscopic molecular level more visible; in other words, this mist could also allow for more precise modifications to his own body. Moreover, this high-elasticity muscle fiber of a Megalodon evolved in the seawater infused with Indigo Mist. If Wang Ye is soaked for an extended period, it might also yield miraculous effects.

Wang Ye casually tossed a Crystal Cluster Fragment in, then removed his shirt and stepped into the chamber, letting a pale gold Primordial Qi seep through his pores, merging with the mist into countless hair-thin tendrils.

Since he no longer needed to breathe, he felt no discomfort in the liquid; instead, the high-energy Primordial Qi-mixed nutrition liquid felt particularly comfortable to him.

He even planned to spend his entire morning evolution sessions soaking in Crystal Cluster Fragment infused liquid in the future, as he believed this substance could significantly accelerate his evolutionary speed.

Wang Ye absorbed Primordial Qi while closing his eyes, using Primordial Qi to sense his muscle fibers.

This feeling was somewhat similar to the "introspection" described in cultivation novels.

However, unlike "introspection," he could view things at an extremely microscopic level. In contrast, "introspection" in cultivation novels could only see spaces like the Dantian Sea of Consciousness.

Under the influence of Indigo Mist, his muscle fibers displayed a molecular vibration field that could be observed,

Wang Ye then condensed Primordial Qi into a probing beam with a de Broglie wavelength less than 0.1 picometers, real-time scanning the molecular vibrations of his muscle fibers. His goal was to rearrange the collagen in his muscle fibers into a triple helix structure. By applying directional pressure through the Primordial Qi Field, inducing myosin heads to form energy-storing hinge structures. Simply put, it’s like twisting muscle fibers into a spiral, storing energy like a wound-up spring, forming a honeycomb-like support layer in the muscle, creating a fiber stack design similar to a bulletproof vest, significantly enhancing muscle strength.

Although his Primordial Qi, under the influence of Crystal Cluster Fragments, could barely induce molecular-level changes in muscle fibers, this change remained very slow. And to change all muscle fibers in the body, it would be an exceedingly complex project; even short-term estimates might take hundreds or eighty years. Considering the minuscule size of molecules, theoretically, an adult human body has about 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules (27 zeros), and Wang Ye had to work on each molecule, which is like infinite repetition torture.

Therefore, ultimately, he might have to rely on the system to complete the remaining project; he only needs to convert parts of his body muscle fibers into high-elasticity muscle fibers,

but this process, apart from requiring high concentration from Wang Ye for arrangement, also demands enough Carbon Atoms, since the conversion process essentially means increasing the density of muscle fibers, a density that can’t appear out of thin air. So he also needs to occasionally chew some graphite ore outside to supplement Carbon Atoms.

Fortunately, after evolving his skeleton a few days ago, he still had more than a hundred tons of graphite ore left,

these graphite ores should last him for a while.

Moreover, once used up, he could ask Old Yi for more,

for the next half a day, Wang Ye spent almost all his time soaking in the cultivation chamber,

when hungry, he would come out to chew on a few tons of graphite ore.

After eating, he would dive back into the cultivation chamber to modify his body’s muscle fibers.

A day passed,

he barely transformed five muscle fibers in the right arm’s bicep.

Compared to the more than 20 billion muscle fibers in his body, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Yet Wang Ye felt extremely excited,

because he had already found the knack for modifying muscle fibers at the molecular level.

Following this method with the system’s daily automatic evolution, it wouldn’t be long before all his muscle fibers would be transformed.

As time continued to pass, the time quickly reached 5 a.m., the system’s daily evolution time.

At this moment, Wang Ye was still soaking in the nutrition liquid of the cultivation chamber. The almost transparent nutrition liquid had already been stained indigo due to the long-term chemical reactions between the Crystal Cluster Fragments and the liquid, making it impossible to see his appearance from the outside, only countless bubbles rising from the bottom of the cultivation chamber and bursting.

At the moment evolution began, his eyes suddenly opened, a strong light emanating from his blue irises. The previously mere ten high-elasticity muscle fibers suddenly began to proliferate within his body like a virus, occupying the entire biceps and triceps within half a minute, continuing to spread towards the deltoid and brachioradialis.

Wang Ye suddenly felt that the system’s evolution seemed like a time accelerator,

able to compress the evolutionary process spanning hundreds or thousands of years into a few seconds.

Early on, Wang Ye couldn’t decide the evolutionary path’s direction.

But now he could accurately alter the direction of evolution through his mind.

Thus, this round of evolution focused entirely on modifying muscle fibers.

As evolution reached the second minute,

Wang Ye’s right arm’s high-elasticity muscle fibers had reached over ten thousand, while simultaneously, his right arm was flooded with intense pain, as if forcibly torn into tens of thousands of pieces.
