Compared to before, Su Bai’s species changed from ant to mutant ant, and both his rank and grade changed from dim level to tiny level.

His four-dimensional attributes improved several times over.

Even his body size increased from the original 1.2 centimeters to 2.5 centimeters.

A 2.5-centimeter body size made him a giant in this ant nest, where the average length was less than 1 centimeter.

“Tiny level…” Looking at his attribute panel, Su Bai pondered.

This time, not only had his strength increased significantly, but he also received some information from that mysterious voice. Su Bai now had a clear understanding of his place in this world.

The dim level was the lowest strength tier in this world.

Ants, flies, mosquitoes, fleas, dragonflies, earthworms… All these creatures with negligible combat power were classified as dim level. They existed at the bottom of the world, merely part of the living background or resources.

Above the dim level was the tiny level.

Frogs, large insects, small birds, small fish, and shrimp… These creatures with minimal combat power were classified as tiny level.

After devouring an entire green worm’s corpse and experiencing his first evolution, Su Bai barely reached the lower limit of the tiny level. At this point, facing birds or fish was out of the question. Even a mantis would send him fleeing.

The gap between the dim level and the tiny level was vast.

Creatures at the top of the tiny level could easily destroy hundreds or thousands of dim level beings, and even capturing a tiny level being like Su Bai would be a breeze.

However, both these levels were still at the bottom of the world’s hierarchy, without even a formal grade.

Above the tiny level was Level 1!

To become a Level 1 creature, the basic requirement was to raise all four-dimensional attributes to over 1 point!

For players and the world’s monsters, having attributes of 1 point might be considered poor, but for dim and tiny level beings like Su Bai, it was a distant and unattainable goal.

Without the Devour Evolution talent, Su Bai might never achieve this in his lifetime.

—

“All attributes at 1 point…” Looking at his attributes, barely one-tenth of the way there, Su Bai felt complicated.

Among his four-dimensional attributes, the spirit attribute might reach 1 point first. Thanks to the human soul from his previous life, as long as his body grew stronger, Su Bai’s spirit attribute would automatically increase.

But reaching 1 point in the other three attributes wouldn’t be so easy.

At the very least, hiding in the ant nest and secretly eating the food brought back by the worker ants wouldn’t suffice.

To reach Level 1 and become a formal monster, he needed to venture out for food and continuously battle and hunt other tiny level beings.

At this moment, Su Bai noticed a flashing “+” in the upper right corner of his attribute panel.

With a thought, a new panel appeared before him.

The Second Panel.

【Gene Points】: Green Worm Gene 3 points.

【Evolution Points】: 0 points.

The second panel only had these two data points, but they conveyed a lot of information.

Gene points were obtained by devouring other species through his Devour Evolution talent. The 3 green worm gene points on the panel were from the green worm’s corpse he consumed.

As for evolution points…

He could only obtain them by consuming valuable items or personally hunting and devouring creatures.

Evolution points and gene points were the foundation of his evolution from an ant to higher life forms!

“It seems I still need to venture out and fight.”

Silently closing the attribute panel, Su Bai moved his six ant legs and crawled out of the cave once more.
