Boom!
The race spirit was broken. The race lantern's flame was extinguished.
The faces of the people of the Buddha race were pale. The marks of the Buddha race on their foreheads were instantly destroyed, causing their bodies to tremble. It was as if their tendons and bones were being pulled out. They were in so much pain that their bodies trembled violently. Their life force also plummeted.
Blergh!
Burning Lamp Alpha coughed up a mouthful of blood. He went from butterfly class to larva class. The other Buddhas all dropped one level. The buffs of the high race blood in their veins were gone.
The extinguished race lantern flew toward Han Sen's drop of blood. The blood landed on the wick of the lantern. It turned into a fire that reignited the race lantern.
The fire was getting brighter. The lantern's flame was like ice jade. It did not make people feel hot. It made them feel cold.
When the race lantern was reignited, the lantern shone brightly. The Buddha word on the lantern was broken.
The race lantern landed in front of Han Sen. Han Sen waved his finger. He used his blood to write the word "crystal" on the lantern. He said, "Crystal is a high race. From now on, anyone with the blood of the crystallizers, regardless of whether their blood is pure or not, will be a crystallizer. They will be protected by the crystallizer blood."
When Han Sen spoke, the race lantern's "crystal" word lit up like a sun. It shone on the entire universe.
When the light shone, Stay Up Late and the other crystallizers' foreheads all had a crystallizer mark. It was the word that Han Sen had written on their foreheads.
Boom!
Stay Up Late had reached the peak of King class. When the crystal mark formed, his body started to change. He suddenly became deified class.
In every corner of the universe, the leftover crystallizers that had been wandering around all had their bodies change. They all leveled up. Their talents were buffed by the high race. Their genes were modified by a weird power. They became better.
In Space Garden, Tang Zhenliu, Wang Yuhang, Huangfu Jing, and the other humans had a crystal mark on their foreheads. Even Bao 'er, Ling' er, and Han Meng 'er had a crystal mark on their foreheads.
Katcha!
Huangfu Jing's body transformed, and she broke through to the transmutation level. The others did the same. All of them were evolving under the influence of the clan mark.
Only Xie Qing King, Moment Queen, Little Silver, Little Star, and the other xenogeneics or spirits had not received a crystallizer mark. Clearly, their blood did not carry crystallizer genes.
On a red dwarf planet hidden in space, the foreheads of Saint Punisher and a group of Blood Legion members had crystallizer markings. Clearly, they had crystallizer genes in them, too. It was just that they weren't that strong.
Suddenly, in the entire universe, any creature that had a crystallizer Blood-Pulse gene, regardless of whether it was pure or not, would be buffed by the crystallizer mark.
The only pity was that the Buddhist race's ranking was relatively low. The effect of the blessing could only be considered average. The gene optimization rate was not very high.
If they were in the top ten, the gene optimization rate would increase. It would increase the talents and strength of the entire race.
Han Sen's lantern was different from Kong Fei's. Kong Fei was one of the Feathers, but he had been abandoned by the Feathers. He wanted to take revenge on the Feathers, so he chose to be a single person. He did not want the race lantern's power to buff him.
Han Sen chose to buff all of his blood. It did not matter how much crystallizer Blood-Pulse a person had. Even if it was just a little bit, they could still be buffed by the crystallizer Blood-Pulse.
Even if someone had the blood of a higher race, as long as they had crystallizer genes, they could still be buffed by the crystallizer Blood-Pulse. They could enjoy the blessings of many other races. That was what most of the higher races chose.
Han Sen made this choice because the blood of humans was not pure. If he limited the blessings of pure blood, not many humans would be able to enjoy the blessings of the crystallizer race lantern.
The crystallizer race lantern shone brightly. The geno hall's 10,000 lanterns shone brightly, too. It was like they were celebrating the birth of a higher race. It was like they were trying to outshine each other. They lit up the entire universe.
When the crystallizer race lantern flew back to the geno hall, the geno hall's door closed. The universe returned to normal. The crystallizer mark on the foreheads of all the creatures disappeared. There was no trace of it.
However, the optimizations and advancements that their bodies had received had been left behind.
"We crystallizers … We are one of the higher races …" Stay Up Late, who was a very polite person, could not help but roar to the sky. It was like he was going to spit out all the bitterness he had been suppressing.
"Crystallizer … Higher race …" All of the crystallizers were shaking. They looked at their own bodies. They could not believe this was reality.
Everyone in the universe looked at Han Sen in space with a complicated expression. Han Sen looked at Burning Lamp and the Buddha.
Feeling Han Sen's gaze, Burning Lamp's body shook. He looked very sad.
He thought he had the cause karma knife. It was the beginning of a bright future for the Buddha. He did not expect things to end up like this.
He bowed and said, "This is all my fault.
It has nothing to do with the Buddha.
These things should not belong to the Buddha.
I am giving them back to you.
If you want to take my life, you can take it.
I just hope you can let the Buddha live.
Even if Burning Lamp goes to hell, he will be grateful." Burning Lamp's heart was in despair.
He held the causal karma knife, the god doll, and the Break Soul Bone in front of Han Sen.
He bowed and said, "This is all my fault.
It has nothing to do with the Buddha.
These things should not belong to the Buddha.
Now, I am giving them back to you.
If you want to take my life, you can take it all you want.
Han Sen waved his hand. He put the cause karma knife, the god doll, and the Break Soul Bone into his hand. He looked at Burning Lamp and said, "I will not kill you, and I will not destroy the Buddha. You took my knife blank and turned me into an ant. Today, I am here to pay you back."
After that, Han Sen waved his hand. A weird god light landed on Burning Lamp. Burning Lamp's body started to degenerate. In the blink of an eye, he went from deified class to King class. Then, he went from King class to Duke. In just a moment, he went from being on the god's list to being an ordinary creature without a title.
In the god fights, Burning Lamp was as strong as a god. Now, he was an old man who looked like a dead tree. One could not sense any power from him. His lifeforce was almost gone.
Many of the elites in the universe felt a chill. That was especially true of Northern Light Alpha and the others, who had witnessed Burning Lamp being knocked down to the ground. They felt their heads go numb. They did not want to be lucky anymore. They all retreated. They did not dare stay.
Seeing Northern Light Alpha and the other true gods leave, Han Sen squinted his eyes. He turned around and prepared to leave.
"Amitabha! Thank you for not destroying the Buddha." Burning Lamp, who was about to die, weakly said the Buddha catchphrase.
Han Sen ignored Burning Lamp. He turned around and left. Burning Lamp was like a lamp that had run out of oil. Even if Han Sen did not kill him, he would not be able to live. So, Han Sen did not want to kill him.
Han Sen did not want to destroy an entire race. He was like Kong Fei. He did not want to kill. Kong Fei hated the Feathers, but he did not destroy them. He even took in many Feathers orphans.
Han Sen could not do what Kong Fei did. He would not take care of the Buddha, but he did not want to destroy them.
The fight to light up the lantern was over, but the waves Han Sen made were not. The effects of that fight were still affecting the entire universe.
