If this is the case, then based on the powerful scanning ability of this energy, if it can be controlled, it would be practically invincible when it comes to physical examinations of people in the modern world, gambling, jade stone betting, and similar activities! Not only that, since memory accompanies changes in the body, if the energy is strong enough, then even a person’s powerful instinctive abilities—for example, the life-and-death instinctive perception and combat experience formed by elite special forces after surviving countless deadly situations—so long as these abilities are strong enough to cause instinctive changes in the body, then all of these abilities could be copied over!

Similarly, if I want to learn the German language, I could find a German language master, someone who specializes in literature, and copy over the powerful language abilities stored deep in their memory. That would be equivalent to learning it all over again! Of course, this process is about copying the entire process of the other person’s mastery of the language! Doesn’t the human brain have a language center that specifically governs language ability? In that case, I should become extremely powerful very soon!”

Ethan Bolton pondered this, and in that instant, he had already figured out the mysterious inherited memory. But after understanding it, he was actually shocked by himself!

Because, if this is really the case, then once the crystal becomes strong enough, and the mist produced by the crystal directly simulates the structure of the developed regions of another person’s brain, wouldn’t that mean that whatever abilities others have, he could have as well? It’s just like a computer—even if you know nothing about computers, if you can copy the entire computer, then the computer itself will have no issues at all. As long as it can be turned on, it will be exactly the same as the one that was copied!

If an excellent ability is compared to a computer, then these excellent abilities...

Thinking back on this, even with Ethan Bolton’s calmness, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath!

Chapter 8: Inheritance and Ability!

He understood this matter, but he was even more unwilling to show off. This wasn’t an issue of cowardice, but because this was real life, not a novel or a movie or TV drama!

Once the matter of activating the pineal gland and gaining the devouring ability gets out, you can imagine what the consequences would be!

People nowadays will stop at nothing; money is no longer the most important thing—at least for those with wealth and power, what they desire most is great strength and long life. If this secret gets out, it’s easy to imagine that he would be “harmonized” in an extremely short time, not even a trace left!

Taking a deep breath, Ethan Bolton once again practiced several times the cultivation technique he called the “Heavenly Evolution Method,” feeling the energy in his body continuously gathering in various parts, as if forming a circuit that was both in series and in parallel. Ethan Bolton couldn’t help but feel a bit strange, but instinctively knew there was no danger, so he wasn’t too worried.

This tiny ant wouldn’t bring about too much change—not because the ant itself is small or insignificant, but because the crystal mist in Ethan Bolton’s crystal space was too sparse at the moment. Although it could copy genes and complete recombination, this process wouldn’t be fast!

This adaptation might take about a week.

And based on the feeling after devouring, Ethan Bolton couldn’t help but marvel at one thing: the strength in every part of his body would increase by about 100 times, not as exaggerated as 400 times!

Moreover, this kind of increase is a genetic model increase, meaning that in the future, with the same kind of genes, unless he surpasses this perfect gene, there will be no further increase in strength.

For example, the ant’s outstanding talent is strength. In terms of strength genes, it is nearly perfect. Once he devours another creature, if that creature’s specialty is also strength, but it cannot move objects more than 400 times its own weight, then that creature’s genes will no longer be devoured.

After understanding this, Ethan Bolton didn’t feel discouraged! Although devouring always leads to better genes, there are also weak ants among ants. This not-yet-mature ant’s genes hadn’t fully self-repaired, so it only gave him, Ethan Bolton, about a 100-fold increase! If the crystal space were several times larger and could accommodate an adult worker ant, then a 400-fold increase in strength would be no problem at all!

Ethan Bolton carefully experienced it, feeling the blood in his body gradually heating up, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement!

And with a casual squeeze of his fist, the knuckles of his five fingers would crackle loudly! Even the air in his hand would be compressed by his current strength to the point of making explosive sounds.

This was an abnormal kind of power!
