The Enhanced Genome of the Earth King was personally delivered by Julian.

After the operation against the Ten Saints Association concluded, the Protection Bureau gave Julian a special commendation and promoted him to be the leader of an action group in their second division, a position within the top ten.

Julian recognized Bai Fu's value. He personally came to deliver the item to Bai Fu, intending to have a face-to-face chat and foster a relationship between them.

Bai Fu saw through Julian's intentions at a glance. She didn't reveal her insight but instead treated Julian very hospitably.

Dealing with the Leader would require more than just power on her own; she needed an informant within the imperial ranks, and Julian appeared to be an excellent target.

After sending Julian away, Bai Fu immediately embarked on her path of enhancement.

[Would you like to use [Earth King's Enhanced Genome]?]

[Yes]

The genome was slowly injected into her body, and a pricking pain arose, as if she was rolling naked on burning hot gravel.

When the progress bar finally reached 100%, Bai Fu let out a long sigh of relief and swiftly wiped the sweat off her cheeks.

She felt like she was becoming a water creature, soaked through and through, more so than during any of her experiments with Julia.

But with cost comes gain.

[You have completed your Racial Evolution; your Race has changed to [Earth Prophet (Bai Fu)].]

[Race change complete; you have gained an attribute correction—

Power +138, Agility +106, Constitution +300, Intelligence +82, Spirit +78, Inspiration +92]

[Your unique Skill [Prophet Mark] has evolved into [Prophet Mark+].]

[You have gained new Racial Trait bonuses—

1. You have acquired the exclusive Skill [Anti-Stab Armor];

2. You have acquired the exclusive Talent [Earth King];

3. You have acquired the exclusive Talent [Leakless Body].]

"Wow, a whole 300 points in Constitution, that's like 2 points per level on average. Imperial stuff is top-notch!"

Bai Fu excitedly stripped off her Combat Suit, pointed her toes, and elegantly twirled several times in front of the mirror.

Although, to the eye, there seemed to be no discernible change in her evolved body—the big parts remained big, and the perky parts stayed perky—just the act of twirling made her realize how much more graceful her body had become.

When she clenched her fists forcefully, she could feel her cells throbbing, as if each cell had been fitted with a miniature power engine.

"This is interesting. If Cecilia finds out how amazing my body has suddenly become, she might just roll her eyes back in despair and faint on the spot."

Humming a merry tune, Bai Fu began to check the effects of her newly acquired Skills and Talents.

[Prophet Mark+], as the name suggests, is the advanced version of [Prophet Mark]. With a significant increase in physical strength, she can now set up three blink marks simultaneously, which makes fighting or fleeing more convenient, yes, and even better for managing time like a master.

[Anti-Stab Armor] is a damage-reflecting Skill, a basic ability of the Earth King Species, capable of returning 10% of the physical damage received back to the enemy.

[Earth King] is also a basic Talent of the Earth King Species, but there's nothing basic about its effects.

—Life Value maximum +20%, Constitution: Life Value conversion rate +30, Life Recovery speed +500%, stamina, defense, and Resistance greatly increased, able to adapt to all sorts of harsh living environments: extreme cold, scorching heat, high-energy radiation, warped space, etc., and gains an additional 2 points of Constitution every level up.

[Leakless Body] simply means its owner becomes immune to True Damage.

"Invincible!"

Bai Fu, who was very familiar with Cecilia's capabilities, quickly realized that her base durability had even surpassed Cecilia's, the difference being that Cecilia still had a whole set of Skills that could make her even more resilient.

Now, her durability was several times what it had been before.

"Good, let's continue!"

Bai Fu jumped into the bathtub, soaking while she assimilated the two pieces of Dominator Level Advanced Knowledge sent by the Rebirth Empire.

Five hours later, she successfully brought both pieces of knowledge to a 100% reading progress. This process was much faster than when she studied the "Apostle's Path."

Partly because these two pieces of knowledge were slightly less valuable than the "Apostle's Path," and partly because her reading speed had increased with her improved knowledge reserves.

"What new Ability will be unlocked this time?"

Bai Fu opened the new game prompts.

"The Essence of Spiritual Ability Resonance" brought a series of upgrades to her Passive Skills.

From [Advanced Spiritual Ability Specialization] to the individual Passive Skill of [Advanced Spiritual Energy Fine Control], and from [Summoning · Legion] to the Legion-based Passive Skill [Cooperative Reaction], all these Skills evolved.

Their names became [Dominator Level XXX], and naturally, the Skills' powers were enhanced as well.

Bai Fu spent over 2 billion Experience points to max out these newly upgraded Skills.

In an instant, her Skill effects, Prayer Card effects, card-making efficiency, Legion attribute bonus ratios, Legion command numbers, and knowledge reading speed all increased significantly, while her Spiritual Ability consumption was greatly reduced.

Oh, and this boost also improved her meditation efficiency by quite a bit—it would've taken two years to stack the "Apostle's Path" to 1000; now, it would only take a year and a half.

"The Application of Spirit Projection," as the head of the Protection Bureau had said, gave her the ability to utilize Spiritual Ability Superspace.

With this new power, she could send and recall Prayer Cards and Legions over long distances. Furthermore, the range of her Skill deployment had increased significantly.
