Chapter 767 Noah's roar triggered the dormant compound that had infected most of the magical beasts and humans of that world . Yet, its effects didn't stop there .
A few cultivators from Noah's world had used the mutagen in the Elite beasts to create drugs aimed to improve the walls of the dantians . Some of them had tested their creations on themselves and were inevitably infected by the compound .
Then, as the castles echoed Noah's cry and spread it through the world, even their bodies began to mutate .
The world fell into chaos as the compound activated . Most humans began to transform into magical beasts, improving their natural state as living beings .
The physical strength of the Elite humans improved as their existence strived to reach the beasts' level, and dantians began to grow inside the Flawed humans as the transformation continued . The changes didn't stop there since the compound affected even the fauna .
Most creatures saw their fake dantians reaching a complete form under the influence of the compound, and some of them even developed real seas of consciousness as they strived for a perfect state .
An entire world was evolving right under the ominous clouds that were filling the sky .
June and Faith had gone to explore the inventory in the castle before the snake triggered the compound inside Noah . Still, they didn't miss his roar and the shaking of the walls . However, when they reached the last floor and tried to force the door to the hall open, they realized that a thick layer of mental energy was preventing their intrusion .
The two women could only give up when they saw that even their spells didn't manage to pierce that barrier . The power of a being in the sixth rank was something that they couldn't hope to match .
Meanwhile, Noah continued to roar as the transformation continued . That act was instinctive . It was as if his body wanted to announce the evolution that it was undergoing .
He used the entirety of his concentration to fend off the pressure generated by the transformation, and it took him a while before he managed to become aware of his situation again .
His mind hadn't stabilized yet, but he could sense the changes happening inside his body . He felt his size growing and his form morphing to assume the shape of a Cursed Dragon .
'This is disappointing . ' Noah thought as he studied those changes and kept his mind stable .
The transformation wasn't bringing him any benefit . The new features obtained by his body were something that he already had in its human form . Yet, he felt forced to rethink his initial statement when the transformation began to affect his other centers of power .
His dantian was the first to be affected by the surge of energy originated by the compound . Its walls stiffened and contracted, destroying the black ring inside them and absorbing its shards as they closed the wound that had been there for years .
Noah lost his cultivation technique, but his mental sphere began to radiate a peculiar tremor that carried his copy of aura of the Heaven and Earth's will . His existence was craving for harmony as it strived for a perfect state, and it couldn't allow such a difference between his centers of power .
The "Breath" in the matter around him started to converge in his almost-draconic low-waist and turn into primary energy as it entered his dantian . The walls of the organ soon became unable to contain all that energy and began to enlarge, pushing Noah's cultivation level toward the fifth rank .
Noah was aware of the events happening in his dantian, but his mind was elsewhere . As soon as his mental sphere released that tremor, his focus wavered since a stream of information invaded him .
The walls of his mind had been under the influence of the improved spherical runes for a while by then . Still, Noah didn't intend to use that ability until the inscription was completed . However, his sea of consciousness had acted on its own during the transformation . It ordered the "Breath" in the matter around him to fill his dantian .
In doing so though, Noah entered a peculiar mental state where he felt connected with the world .
'This should be the understanding that the snake has talked about . ' Noah thought as his mind wandered in that state . 'Amazing . '
What he was sensing couldn't be described by simple words . It was as if his existence had suddenly become aware of its place in the world and could understand the rules set by Heaven and Earth . He had taken a peek in the world of the laws without needing for his level to be high enough .
Pieces of information appeared in his mind, but they didn't cause any internal pressure . Instead, Noah felt as if his sea of consciousness was being emptied while he remained in that state .
He soon understood that the pieces of information weren't flowing inside him . It was his mental energy that was reaching for the outside world and learning its rules .
'I see . Beasts aren't just an enemy . ' Noah thought . 'They are the enemy chosen by Heaven and Earth to balance their power . They are an unstoppable force that can take the easiest path toward the higher ranks as long as there is a form of energy around them . '
Noah felt sure about that realization even if he couldn't explain why . After all, he didn't understand laws . His mind was only able to turn a few of them into thoughts that he could review .
'Becoming a hybrid and walking on the path of the magical beasts would make you the strongest enemy of the world according to its rules . ' Noah continued to ponder as his mind wandered in that peculiar state . 'Yet, that's still part of Heaven and Earth's system . '
Confusion and hesitation began to fill Noah once he thought that . The secrets of the world were right in front of him, and he didn't like what he was seeing .
Turning into a beast would force him to keep that state permanently, allowing him to become the lifeform that better countered the restrictions of the world . Yet, such perfect form didn't need some of the core aspects of the usual cultivation methods .
Noah felt his dantian enlarging at high speed as more and more primary energy seeped through its walls . The sharp crystal that was his solid "Breath" began to fade when surrounded by that foreign energy .
It was as if the new state didn't need an individuality to progress, so it was simply turning it into primary energy .
'A path where the answers of the world are right in front of you, but you are stuck in a state that allows you only to devour everything . ' Noah summarized in his mind what he had managed to understand in that peculiar state .
Noah continued to think . 'It's the easiest path to power, and losing my individuality won't affect my actual prowess . Yet, I would become part of Heaven and Earth's plan . The snake has underestimated my ambition . '
His now-scaled eyelids opened at that point, and he violently bit his front leg .
