    Lu Zhiyu looked at the tube of sma in his hand and felt very hesitant. Even though he had tested this sma a few times before onb rats and it had worked every time, the sess rate was only close to and not really one hundred percent. Therefore, he was still somewhat anxious to use it on himself.


    The tube of sma he was holding was precisely an evolution sma, which he named the Sapient Sub-Brain Evolution sma. He had added a talent to his existing genes to make himself evolve. Specifically, he wanted to segregate the part of his brain tissues which he was not actively utilizing and develop it into a sub-brain. In addition, he would upload the operation mode of aputer into the sub-brain to improve itsputing powers. In this way, he could be as powerful as aputer.


    With such aputer-like sub-brain, his ability to learn and his intelligence would be greatly enhanced, which was what Lu Zhiyu wanted at the moment. The sub-brain intelligence would not interfere with the personality and emotions on the main brain. It would be more like adding a chip to his brain. Lu Zhiyu was not interested in superpowers like spewing fire, water, or super strength, and he also felt that such powers would not be very useful to him. Intelligence and the brain is the most powerful weapon to a human after all.


    “I have already made it perfect. There’s nothing to fear!” he told himself. Then he took a deep breath and pointed the sma at his spine. His mind power immediately pinpointed the correct position and injected the evolution sma into his bone marrows. At once, he felt his entire body grow cold, as if his body was experiencing a chain reaction just like a machine. Under the continuous stimtion of the sma, his bone marrows started making a whole new set of cells to rece the old ones.


    After removing all his clothes, Lu Zhiyu stepped into a pool of nutrient fluids that he had prepared and submerged himself in it. In this way, the fluids would provide him with therge amount of nutrients his body needed to evolve.


    Lu Zhiyu only woke up after a long while. Once he opened his eyes, he pushed himself up from the pool, panting heavily. He nced at the few ant-people around him which had been guarding him. Just like robots, these ant-people would only act ording to their given tasks. He stood up, dried his body, and wore his clothes back on. Right then, the ant-people carried over some food and water.


    After the starved Lu Zhiyu wolfed down a hearty meal, he began to inspect the changes in his body. He realized that other than the structure of his brain, there were no significant changes to his physical body. His brain seemed to have shrunk a little and also be more vigorous. The main brain was fused together with the new sub-brain, forming a perfect arc. Among the pair, the sub-brain actually had a different color; it looked redder and also seemed to be glittering like a piece of metal.


    “Sub-brain activated. Permission to activate visual nerves.” A voice appeared in Lu Zhiyu’s brain.


    “Permission granted.”


    As soon as he agreed, his vision changed greatly, as if he had just opened up a tab on aputer. The vision from his eyes could also be zoomed in and out freely, just like a camera.


    Lu Zhiyu knew that he could now use his eyes like a camera, taking images he saw and storing them in his sub-brain. He felt like his entire world had be much clearer, and his brain was working more smoothly as countless new ideas appeared in his mind. Many things which he could not understand before now became easy problems. Simrly, many things which he could not remember before were now clear in his head!


    “Sub-brain, create an archive for all the information,” he ordered, “and ssify them ordingly.”


    “Order confirmed.”


    “Sub-brain, create a section for research ns: New Human Creation n and Evolution sma Creation n. Organize the relevant information and research directions for me!”


    “Confirmed. New Human Creation n has entered phase two and is thirty-two percentplete. Evolution sma Creation n has entered phase two and is twenty-one percentplete.”


    “Sub-brain, create...”


    After giving a few more orders, Lu Zhiyu disconnected from the sub-brain. Only then, he exited from the robotic and superman-like state. Lu Zhiyu felt that his thoughts were as fast as light just now and he was about to turn into a superman.


    With the sub-brain, he could solve problems that would usually take an hour or even a day in a minute. He could finish learning what he would normally need a few days in a minute. He could do many things that he was not able to in just a minute!


    It was very liberating and appealing, but terrifying at the same time. Under that state, he could no longer be considered as a human. Such a robotic mind would affect his own personality and emotions.


    Lu Zhiyu was d that he had only wanted to create a sub-brain to assist him in his research ns, instead of changing his entire brain. Although they had roughly the same effects, the oues would be totally different. He did not want to be a robot, and still wanted to keep his personality and desires!


    With the sub-brain, the New Human Creation n progressed very quickly. Before this, he had spent a month only to develop 48 types of gic inserts. Now with the sub-brain, his speed of reading biology and medicine books increased significantly. The advanced books and academic articles he had ced in the library were already all in his mind.


    Using the sub-brain, Lu Zhiyu could list out an endless amount of reference materials at once. Then, he could design many possible paths to try. At the moment, countless biological temtes and gic chains were in front of Lu Zhiyu, blinking and changing their positions rapidly. Lu Zhiyu could use these to design various gic inserts. Finally, by the time the first new human was born, he had already developed thousands of different gic inserts.


    Despite having all these inserts, Lu Zhiyu was not nning on giving any single embryo everything. It would only be normal for different people to have different talents. Therefore, he would distribute the inserts among various embryos. It would suffice to give each person dozens of inserts as it would be enough for them to inherit and activate the talents.


    Further, different races should have different talents and skills as well. However, afterpleting all these, he stopped the New Human Creation n, for he had reached his goal for now.


    Nevertheless, the sessful creation of the embryos, as well as their development, was only the first step. There was still a long way to go until humans could form stable tribes. He spent close to half a year in the dimensional castle, after which he designated the ant-people to carry out the rest of the n.


    The ant-people would take care of the monkeys. After the first generation of humans was born, the ant-people would raise them up in the castle. Of course, Lu Zhiyu would not teach them any knowledge or how to inherit the talents. The humans should develop their ownnguage and civilization. Lu Zhiyu felt that this was the correct progress of a civilization and he should not interfere with it.


    Once again, the dimensional door of the castle was connected with the outside world, and Lu Zhiyu fixed the portal in a lush forest. These ant-people would hunt and find food, so there were no problems at all with their survival. All Lu Zhiyu needed to do was to wait patiently!
