The river dolphin, once shrouded in a haze of confusion, now perceived the world with an unprecedented clarity.
As it gazed at Liang Qu standing majestically at the bow of the boat, its instincts screamed that this man was unparalleled—greater even than any dolphin leader it had known.
Before such a divine presence, all it could do was kneel in reverence.
Liang Qu, standing tall on the boat, was astonished to see the river dolphin, its fins clasped together, bowing low in the water with utmost devotion.
Rituals! No doubt, rituals are a crucial part of life's socialization process, a critical milestone in the journey of life evolution, symbolizing the birth of morality and a sign of civilized society.
The intelligence of the river dolphin was surprisingly high.
With a glance, Liang Qu assessed the water essence needed for its evolution: 1,400 points.
Conveniently, he had some essence leftover from the Sturgeon King meat he consumed the previous day, which came in handy now.
The Marsh Cauldron glowed brightly, scattered lights dimming after some time as the dolphin's form subtly shifted, becoming even more streamlined.
