Moreover, the physical body synthesizing diamonds means he might be able to evolve his skeleton into diamond.

However, now is not the daily evolution time at 5 AM,

so the diamonds he synthesized cannot be used for genetic editing,

nor can they turn all his skeletons into diamonds.

Wang Ye spit out the diamond from his mouth,

holding this diamond in his hand, he carefully observed this crystal clear crystalline structure.

It’s hard to imagine that this is matter compressed from the pitch-black graphite.

Wang Ye exerted all his strength, trying to crush this diamond.

The muscles of his forearm suddenly swelled more than twice, looking almost identical to the animated Popeye, with the skin nearly bulging out with tear lines,

but no matter how strong his muscle fibers were, the hardness of his flesh and bones had a limit, and if the exerted force was slightly larger, it would easily cause his body to collapse.

Wang Ye’s finger strength gradually increased from several tons to tens of tons, and his entire forearm was gradually covered in steaming mist, with the surrounding temperature rising to hundreds or thousands of degrees, yet he barely managed to crush the diamond at the cost of finger bone comminuted fractures. Moreover, the muscles swollen to the extreme nearly exploded due to containing too much carbon dioxide inside; if the muscle fiber strength was insufficient, once it expanded to a certain degree, it could explode like a bomb.

Usually, during training and in battle, Wang Ye never allows his muscles to ferment to that volume. Even while fighting against ten fighter jets, his muscle expansion is only about 30-50% because the bones can’t withstand such power, and ordinary battles don’t encounter such resilient enemies. The ten fighter jets he fights against are merely frail with high attack and low defense, easily torn apart with just 20% strength. Yet now, he used about 95% of his potential to crush the diamond.

This shows just how terrifying the hardness of the diamond is. Wang Ye even suspects that if he could synthesize his entire skeleton into diamond, he might find it difficult to cause significant wear and tear or damage to his bones even if his muscles were to expand to 80%.

"It’s exactly 3 AM now; in another two hours, it will be the daily evolution time..." Wang Ye closed his eyes, calculated the current time, and murmured in a low voice.

Due to extreme pressure and high temperature underground, no electronic devices, including cell phones and watches, can operate here, so he can only rely on mental calculations to determine the current time.

Luckily, after his brain evolved, his memory and computational abilities improved significantly, allowing him to recall and calculate the exact current time down to the second, with a precision error around half a second every twenty-four hours, meaning even if he spends an entire year in a place devoid of sun, he can keep the time difference with the outside world within three minutes.

He calculates the time specifically for mastering the daily evolution timing, which is slightly past 5 AM every day.

According to his observations, during each daily evolution, whether he is conscious or not, evolution proceeds for about ten minutes, thoroughly changing his genes and physical strength, providing noticeable improvement. If during evolution, he encounters some difficult-to-adapt environment or predicament, his body will spontaneously evolve characteristics enough to adapt to that environment.

Thus, during those ten minutes of daily evolution, he only needs to synthesize diamond in his bones and apply pressure on them to issue commands for his body to perform genetic editing in this direction.

The entire process isn’t complicated, but it does have some difficulty, since this is the first time Wang Ye has done such intervention in evolution, which could potentially cause evolutionary errors.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye shook his head,

"Unfortunately, with my current ability, I cannot synthesize carbon acetylene yet, but I can use diamond as temporary bone material."

He didn’t feel too regretful in his heart. Before synthesizing carbon acetylene, practicing with diamond isn’t a bad thing.

Understanding the system evolution rules more will only benefit his infinite evolution in the future, and it’s not feasible to rely on the body’s autonomy for random evolution all the time. Once the evolution reaches a certain degree, consciousness is needed to correct the evolution direction.

Otherwise, in future ventures into the Cosmos, he may evolve into something peculiar, given that human body structures are born for Earth’s ecology. If Wang Ye leaves Earth someday, most body tissues will lose functionality and gradually degenerate, turning him into a bizarre creature neither human nor ghost.

"Besides, considering my body’s strength, continuing to drill deeper into the Earth’s core is somewhat challenging. With the current depth’s pressure, merely standing here slightly deforms or even breaks my bones. Clearly, before synthesizing carbon acetylene, evolving into diamond skeleton as transition is necessary," Wang Ye murmured, rubbing his chin.

Based on his estimates, his chromium element bones can withstand high temperatures and pressures up to about eighty thousand meters deep. Further deeper could pose a life-threatening risk, but if all bones were replaced with diamond, the pressure endure could increase tenfold, allowing him to dig up to hundreds of thousands of meters deep.

Immediately, Wang Ye leaped vigorously, swiftly soaring up to the surface.

Then he opened the warehouse door and took out about a ton of graphite.

Only seeing him taking a deep breath, he suddenly grabbed a handful of graphite and stuffed it into his mouth, wildly grabbing and chewing it, quickly causing the mountain-like pile of graphite to sink.

According to Wang Ye’s calculated ratio, he needed to extract carbon atoms from ten kilograms of graphite to synthesize less than one kilogram of diamond because his current synthesis method was too crude, resulting in huge carbon atom losses during the process—and he also had to consider the consequences of synthesis failures. Thus, by devouring one ton of graphite, he could only synthesize less than a hundred kilograms of diamonds.

These diamonds might not be able to convert his entire skeleton into diamond due to the high density of diamond, which means it is very heavy and has a small volume; a hundred kilograms of diamond might only cover less than one-fifth of his skeleton area. But it’s not that he doesn’t want to continue devouring more, it’s that his body can’t handle more carbon atoms, having initially stored hundreds of kilograms of chromium element, and now consumed one ton of graphite, the body is already at carrying capacity.

After consuming one ton of graphite, Wang Ye spent half an hour turning this graphite into pure carbon atoms,

after digestion, his body visibly widened a bit, now appearing more like a person with higher body fat. Yet in fact, these were carbon atoms stored under his skin and in the gaps of chest and abdominal cavities, propping up the skin; touching with hands would reveal the skin, seemingly fat, felt as hard as stone.

Dragging the heavy body, Wang Ye plummeted again into the fifty thousand meter deep pit. Meanwhile, time advanced to five o’clock.

He squinted his eyes,

awaiting the arrival of evolution.

Time ticked by gradually.

Finally, at one moment, his body began to move, his genes seemingly influenced by some high-dimensional substance, forcefully twisting.

"It’s now!"

Wang Ye’s eyes fixed, his whole body’s carbon atoms surged towards his right arm while Primordial Qi created intense high pressure and high temperature.

Boom!!!

Buzz—

In a flash, endless black mist escaped from his pores, casting him like a Demon emerging from hell; yet actually, these were merely carbon atoms consumed during diamond synthesis.
