Shen Cong's shining krypton-gold dog eyes filled Brother Dao with envy and jealousy. It was the dog here, but it didn't have krypton-gold dog eyes, just an ordinary pair of dog eyes.

But Brother Dao cared only about looks. It never wondered what Shen Cong's new eyes actually meant.

Only Shen Cong himself understood what they meant.

They meant a change that turned everything upside down!

They meant evolution to a new level of life!

They meant he had succeeded in finding the seed of metal life!

The rays shooting from his eyes weren't ordinary rays. They carried the wondrous power of the "seed," and the meaning of "life" flowed through them.

All these days spent with the brain-dead Brother Dao had made him forget to stay on guard against it at all times. It was a particle-grade iron beast.

That was inexcusable!

With that thought,…
