Li Ming sat formally, listening to the other's narration; the interstellar alliance has existed for over fifty thousand years, and the Empire and Federation have been around far longer.
The known evolution paths have been developed to their limits; although the ultimate leap cannot be achieved, many ways to broaden the paths have emerged.
For example, after maximizing the development progress, one can integrate another X-level Gene Seed. If the body can endure, they can continue developing a second Gene Seed for further enhancement.
Speaking of this, Reynolds gave an example: "Like Barbaro, that guy fused a second X-level Gene Seed over three hundred years ago..."
"Barbaro..." Li Ming looked surprised, but Reynolds casually continued talking.
And this is just one way to broaden the evolution path.
There are also other ways to discover evolution paths, like forcibly awakening a superpower or absorbing Elemental Energy.
