Five years
Muria's body had grown to ten meters, and sitting within the rebuilt royal palace, he bore no resemblance to the original black-haired, blue-skinned Yikong People.
He looked down at the legion commanders below him, clad in armor full of technological sense. These commanders had been contaminated by his bloodline over the years, resulting in significant mutations in their physiques, each towering over five meters tall. On their uncovered cheeks, faint golden God's Patterns emerged.
To say they were a completely different species from the original Yikong People wouldn't be an overstatement; more accurately, they could be described as an evolved subspecies of the Yikong People!
However, this evolution of the Yikong People came about through the intervention of a transcendent being like Muria, not natural evolution. Such evolution was naturally infinitely beneficial for the Yikong individuals.
