Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

"Which gene should I remove?" After sending [Mysterious Thunder Dragon Saliva] to Chen Xin, Zhou Wen opened his character attribute panel, looked at the various genes on it, and pondered.

"It seems the only option is to remove the [Thunder Leviathan gene]," Zhou Wen murmured.

The [Thunderous Trait] can increase the Constitution attribute by 10 times. This effect can be achieved by the [Tungsten Gold Trait]. Activating the [Auspicious Energy Form] can also increase the Constitution attribute by 10 times.

Subsequently, Zhou Wen drank a bottle of [Gene Stripping Agent] and chose to strip the [Thunder Leviathan Gene]. He also used a [Characteristic Stripping Seal] to strip the [Thunder Characteristic] as well.

After some time, once the [Thunder Leviathan Gene] was completely extracted, Zhou Wen drank the [Mysterious Thunder Leviathan Gene Potion]. During the gene fusion process, he directly created the [Mysterious Thunder Trait] and added it to the very end of the Mysterious Thunder Speed ​​attribute on his character attribute panel.

Nothing much happened after that, so Zhou Wen lay on the deck chair in front of the small house, leisurely sunbathing, while checking the messages in the communication channels of the three survivors, No. 10, No. 2, and No. 3, in the sea area.

The survivors in Sea Area 3 are quite well-behaved now because Zhou Wen gave them a good dressing down. The survivors in Sea Area 2 are complaining a lot, but as long as there is no large-scale rebellion, he doesn't care.

Time passed day by day, and Zhou Wen leisurely lay there for three days.

On the morning of the 419th day, near the main island of Sea 1, on a newly built sub-island, 10 survivors from Sea 9 stood looking bewildered. They didn't know why the Human Emperor had sent them here.

At this moment, a black figure flew out from the palace in the center of the island, hovering high in the sky in front of everyone.

"Hello everyone, my name is Miles, and I am the owner of this island."

"From this day forward, you are no longer slaves, but my subjects, Miles, whose status is equal to that of the survivors in Sea Area 1." As Miles spoke, he amplified his voice with energy so that everyone present could hear it.

Miles' words caused a stir in the crowd, but most people didn't react much because they didn't believe him at all.

If these survivors in Sea 9 still possess the Transformation Leviathan, they do have value. By contributing to Sea 1, they could potentially become ordinary survivors in Sea 1.

However, their Leviathan forms were all killed. Without Leviathan forms, they could not only not explore the Endless Sea, but also not participate in the trials, and their own growth had completely stagnated.

How could they possibly escape their status as slaves, and how could they stand on equal footing with the survivors of Sea Area 1?

“It seems many of you don’t believe it.” Miles descended a bit and then casually pointed at a survivor.

“Go up on stage,” Miles said, pointing to a somewhat thin man.

"Me?" The gaunt man trembled, fear showing in his eyes.

"My...my lord, I...I believe...I believe what you say," the gaunt man said hastily, kneeling down and kowtowing, his body trembling like a leaf.

“I told you to come up on stage, didn’t you hear me?” Miles said with a smile, but the thin man felt a chill.

“I…I heard it.” The gaunt man quickly stood up, then stumbled and scrambled up a 30-meter-high platform built on a stone foundation in front of the crowd.

The gaunt man secretly glanced at the group of survivors below. Some were mocking him, some had pity in their eyes, and some had no expression at all, only indifference on their faces. But everyone thought the gaunt man was doomed.

"What's your name?" Miles asked as he landed beside the gaunt man.

"M-Sir, I...I am Adam, please...please spare me..." the gaunt man said, about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Miles stopped him.

“Don’t be afraid, Adam. Soon, everyone will envy you.” Miles smiled faintly and handed Adam a bottle of potion containing black liquid.

"Drink it."

Adam looked at the black potion being handed to him, his already bloodless face turning deathly pale. The black potion looked like poison, but he dared not refuse. After a slight hesitation, he tremblingly took the black potion and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Bang!" The glass container containing the black liquid shattered on the stone platform, and Adam collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, awaiting death.

Suddenly, a sharp pain spread throughout his body, and black lines gradually spread from his abdomen to his entire body.

"Ah!" Adam screamed in agony on the platform, his body twisting and tumbling in agony.

The other survivors below the stage all had an "I knew it" expression, and were relieved that they weren't the ones on stage. They immediately adjusted their expressions, all looking as if they completely believed what Miles had just said.

"Ah!!" Adam's entire body was now covered in black markings, and his voice grew louder and louder.

"Crack!" Suddenly, Adam's fingers, which were painfully scratching at the stone platform, dug directly into the stone foundation, causing cracks to appear in the entire stone foundation.

"Boom!" The next second, a jet of dark energy was released from Adam's body and then shot into the sky.

"Crack! Crack!" Under the impact of the powerful energy, large cracks appeared on the stone platform, and at the same time, a terrifying aura gradually spread out. The survivors of Sea Area 9 who were watching all this below had fear and shock in their eyes.

“Get up,” Miles said to Adam, who was lying on the ground.

The black potion's transformation of Adam's body had stopped; the pain had vanished, and Adam could clearly feel the immense power of the dark energy emanating from his body—a power he had never experienced before.

Adam stood up slowly and incredulously, but then lost his footing and staggered.

Just as he was about to collide with Lord Miles, Adam was startled and quickly adjusted his steps to steady himself. But as he took a step, he stepped on the stone platform and created a large crater.

With a loud "bang," half of the 30-meter-high stone platform collapsed under that stomp.

Seeing this, Adam's shocked expression gradually turned into ecstasy. He stood up and looked at the crowd below the stage. His scarlet eyes were terrifying, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

“Adam, you will manage the island for me from now on,” Miles said, patting Adam on the shoulder.

Upon hearing Lord Miles's words, Adam's face lit up with even greater joy, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
