Zhou Qi excitedly opened his panel:

Talents:
Five-Star Talents: Mental Power, Faith Crown, Intermediate Titan Overlord Body, Inferior Immortality
One-Star Talent: Humanoid Brain

Evolution Points: Ten Billion
Upon seeing his current Life Strength, Zhou Qi couldn't help but gasp.
That number, far exceeding previous ones, represented a huge leap in his strength, not only because he had extracted the Inferior Immortality talent, but also due to the continuously growing Mental Energy.
Looking at the remaining ten billion Evolution Points, Zhou Qi pondered for a moment before deciding to further enhance the Human-Hand Centipede, which he had previously strengthened to Fourth-Rank, to Fifth-Rank, making it swear undying loyalty.
This Human-Hand Centipede had immense potential, and if successfully strengthened, it would undoubtedly become a powerful general under his command.
Subsequently, Zhou Qi summoned You Long, who, after Bloodline Evolution, was now far stronger than before.
Her slender and agile figure exuded a powerful aura, and her three blood-red eyes gleamed with reverence and loyalty.
"Master, what are your commands?" You Long respectfully asked.
Zhou Qi looked at her and said with a firm gaze, "You Long, you will accompany me to the Eastern Dense Forest."
You Long nodded slightly, a hint of excitement and anticipation in her eyes, full of confidence for the upcoming mission.
The two immediately set off, with You Long closely following behind Zhou Qi.
Using her keen senses, she remained constantly vigilant of her surroundings, protecting Zhou Qi.
The scenery along the way flashed by, and the mysterious sights of the Geocentric World inspired awe.
Enormous rocks floated in the air, emitting a mysterious, faint glow; hot magma rivers snaked along, with boiling magma splashing occasionally, making sizzling sounds; various strangely shaped plants stubbornly grew in the harsh environment.
In a short while, they arrived at the Eastern Dense Forest.
This dense forest was still permeated with a mysterious and dangerous aura; gigantic plants grew twisted and intertwined, forming a complex maze.
The dense foliage blocked most of the light, making the dense forest exceptionally dim, with only occasional faint rays of light piercing through the gaps, casting eerie shadows on the ground.
It was silent all around, broken only by the occasional low roars of unknown creatures, shattering the deathly stillness and sending shivers down one's spine.
Zhou Qi stood in the dense forest, took a deep breath, and concentrated his Mental Energy to summon the Human-Hand Centipede through their mental connection.
His Mental Energy spread out like invisible threads through the dense forest, searching for the Human-Hand Centipede's traces.
Not long after, the ground began to shake violently, as if an ancient behemoth was about to awaken. Accompanied by a dull roar, the massive body of the Human-Hand Centipede burst from the ground, raising a cloud of dust that obscured the sky.
Its thousands of Human-Hands writhed wildly on the ground, making a spine-chilling sound.
Its massive form was particularly shocking in the dense forest; the surrounding trees bent under its pressure, some even snapping directly, making cracking sounds.
Zhou Qi did not hesitate, immediately activating his flying ability and soaring towards the Human-Hand Centipede's head.
His figure was like a flash of lightning, streaking across the sky, instantly arriving above the Human-Hand Centipede.
You Long stood by, vigilantly watching her surroundings to prevent any sudden occurrences. She gripped her long spear tightly, her jade-like skin shimmering with a mysterious glow, ready to face any danger at any moment.
Zhou Qi stood on the Human-Hand Centipede's head, feeling the powerful aura it exuded. He took a deep breath, opened the Evolution Space, and injected a large amount of Evolution Points into the Human-Hand Centipede's body.
"Ding, 1.6 billion Evolution Points consumed. Human-Hand Centipede enhanced to Five-Rank Human-Handed Centipede. Congratulations, Host, on gaining the Five-Rank Human-Handed Centipede's undying loyalty."
As Evolution Points were continuously injected, the light of Evolution, like brilliant stars, enveloped the Human-Hand Centipede. Within the light, the Human-Hand Centipede's body began to undergo astonishing changes.
Its size further increased, with its length alone reaching about 150 meters. Its already robust body became even more massive, like a moving hill.
Its carapace became even harder, shimmering with a dark, metallic luster. Each piece of carapace was like a shield, its surface patterns becoming clearer, as if containing mysterious power.
The thousands of Human-Hands also became thicker and more powerful, their nails sharper, gleaming with a sinister cold light. The blood vessels on each hand became more prominent.
The black, viscous liquid flowing within seemed to contain endless evil power. This liquid occasionally seeped from the skin's pores, emitting a nauseating stench that permeated the air, making one want to vomit.
Its head underwent particularly significant changes. The already massive and hideous triangular head now had its fleshy horns on both sides grow further, becoming thicker and more curved.
The bumps on the surface also became larger and denser, with sharp tips like blades capable of easily tearing through space.
The fangs in its mouth further thickened and lengthened, each as thick as a bucket. Black viscous fluid dripped from the gaps between its teeth onto the ground, sizzling and instantly corroding into bottomless small pits, emitting pungent green smoke.
From its sides, the extending limbs not only became thicker but also increased in number.
The black carapace on these limbs was thicker, and the claws at the end of the limbs were sharper, with a terrifying curvature, as if they could easily tear through steel with a single swipe.
The light of Evolution continued to shine, and Zhou Qi focused intently on every subtle change in the Human-Hand Centipede, feeling both nervous and expectant.
Finally, the light of Evolution slowly dissipated, and the Human-Hand Centipede was successfully strengthened to Fifth-Rank. Zhou Qi eagerly opened its panel to check.
