I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 71 In ancient times, Cao Cao killed three virtuous men with one cannon shot; now, Cao Cao ma

"Alright, let me give you a heads-up: although you have a very promising future, that doesn't mean you won't die."

"Are you threatening me?" Han Li frowned and said coldly.

"No." Meng De shook his head: "I have no motive to threaten you. I just want to tell you that if Han Li No. 1 falls, there will be Han Li No. 2, No. 3, and even infinitely many Han Lis. There will always be a Han Li who grows up and surpasses that Han Li."

"So from my perspective, if I were to kill you, I would still encounter a 'Han Li' who is on par with me in the future, and because of the consequences of my actions, we would inevitably clash. That's why I can confront you directly, and the person in this world who least wants you to die is actually me." This is why Meng De dared to spoil the plot for Han Li, but was not worried about Han Li becoming arrogant.

At least according to the information Meng De provided, although Han Li knew in advance that he would definitely be incredibly powerful in the future, if he didn't cultivate with utmost care, then that powerful future him... might not be the person he is now...

"...Understood." Han Li lowered his head and remained silent, giving a soft "hmm," his mind in turmoil.

"My abilities are different from yours, but the logic behind our existence has certain commonalities." A hint of feigned genuine confusion flickered in Meng De's eyes, and he continued, "You can simply understand it as, you are a ripple in the river of time, while I am a drop of blood that pierces through dimensions."

"Your so-called reincarnation is a concept, while my reincarnation is a real existence." Mengde had also pondered what he was and had been confused, but in the end, Mengde felt that he was more like the drop of blood in "rebirth by blood".

Mengde's words are both a disguise and a logical closed loop of his own concept of existence.

According to Meng De's explanation, even if Han Li successfully becomes the Time Dao Ancestor in the future, Han Li will not be able to find any trace of Meng De's existence in the River of Time; he will only be able to see the present where Meng De is.

"So I can vaguely remember some things, some very distant memories."

"As for my abilities, I can inspire the potential of even the most ordinary mosquito to devour the sun and moon." Mengde gently spread his hands, and an ordinary mosquito landed in his palm. The mosquito seemed to want to suck blood, but after trying for a long time, it could not pierce Mengde's skin and finally had to give up.

"..." Han Li stared blankly at the ordinary mosquito in Meng De's hand. He had never imagined that the Blood Demon Worm that had caused such severe psychological trauma to the disciples of the Seven Sects was actually... evolved from the most ordinary mosquito.

"You... can this ability enlighten people?" Han Li thought for a moment and then asked the question that was on his mind.

"Hmm... that's a very good question." Mengde pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "The risks are extremely high. Reproduction is the birth of a new species, but it also means the death of the old one. Because species need to constantly evolve and iterate, in the early stages of evolution, species will die from reproduction and cannot survive."

Why didn't Mengde give the first drop of Creation Source Blood to the spirit beast? One reason is that the generation cycle of spirit beasts is very long, and another reason is that generation means death.

What if you remain single your whole life and never have children?

Hmm... If they don't reproduce, the mother's own genetic abilities are too inefficient for them to evolve piecemeal.

When reproducing offspring, the offspring's gene fragments are assembled from scratch, which is not only highly efficient, but also allows for the simultaneous experimentation of millions of possibilities. In contrast, if we simply rely on the mother's own iteration, the gene chain may break down if there is a slight error, and the cost of trial and error is extremely high.

To be honest, Meng De felt a little worried when he realized that his body might have been modified by the blood of creation.

In ancient times, Cao Cao killed three sages with one cannon shot; now, perhaps Cao Cao's path will be shattered with one stroke... Cao Cao was very restrained and cherished his own life extremely.

"Can't be used on living creatures..." Han Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He was somewhat surprised that Meng De's "cheat" had a similar limitation to his little green bottle, namely, it could not be used on living creatures.

"What, are you surprised?" Meng De snapped out of his worries about "One-Stop Path" and looked at Han Li.

"Hmm..." Han Li remained silent for a long time, and finally a resolute look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Meng De, whose face still showed a hint of worry. Han Li thought that the other party was worried about him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: "To be honest, my ability is to accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs. This ability cannot be used on living things."

Although he was honest, he was only a little bit honest. Han Li did not directly say that he had the Little Green Bottle, but instead referred to it as his ability.

"The power of the Wood element..." Meng De pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why can't it be used on living beings? Logically speaking, the power of the Wood element is mostly quite gentle."

"Hmm..." Han Li was a little confused as to why Meng De suddenly cared about this. After thinking for a moment, he answered truthfully, "I don't know either. I've experimented with biological organisms, and they exploded directly, while flowers, plants, and trees didn't."

"Explode?" A strange look flashed across Meng De's face as he asked curiously, "That doesn't make sense... If it really is the power of the wood element law, as the source of life, spiritual herbs can absorb it, and even if animals can't absorb it, it shouldn't explode directly..."

"Hmm...unless...it's not a wood-elemental law..." Under Han Li's complicated gaze, Meng De closed his eyes and leaned against the old pine tree, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if deep in thought.

"Do you know why animals explode?" Mengde asked.

"...I don't know, but you just can't absorb it, it will explode directly." Han Li was stunned, wondering why Meng De was so concerned about this, he wasn't even curious about this.

"I already have an answer in my heart," Mengde said softly, his eyes closed in thought.

"What?" Han Li frowned. He only had a vague understanding of the little green bottle. How could Meng De so easily deduce the little green bottle's true abilities?

"This shouldn't be the law of wood, but rather an acceleration of that thing." Meng De opened his deep black eyes and looked into Han Li's eyes.

"Plants have a weak perception of time in the external world, and their consciousness is even weaker. They only subconsciously follow their instincts to grow, so you can help them grow faster."

"And animals with strong consciousness and a sensitive body to time will experience an instantaneous collapse of consciousness, tearing of flesh and blood, disintegration of the body, and explosion when time is accelerated."

"..." Han Li's gaze sharpened. He suddenly realized that Meng De's explanation seemed to have a sliver of reasoning about it?

"Actually, I think we have a chance to cooperate in the future." Meng De smiled.

"I never considered cultivating spirit plants before, because the growth rate of spirit plants is too slow and they cannot evolve and iterate rapidly."

"But after meeting you, I felt that we had the opportunity to work together to cultivate a spiritual plant that would overturn the world's understanding of nature."

......

......

......

"...The instant the desolate lightning flashed and roared, the cultivators of the human realm discovered in horror that all their spiritual defenses would be reduced to nothingness and annihilation under that single finger..."
