Chen Ping's question was exactly what Lu Shu wanted to ask: why are they now able to cultivate and break through to become gods again?
Qiuqiu: "I suppressed it. You should know that when I was born from the World Tree, I was at my peak. I was a mid-level god from birth, and the power of the world was abundant, so my strength soared rapidly. In less than a hundred years, I became a high-level god."
"After I discovered the curse, I used the power of the world in conjunction with the remaining roots of the World Tree to suppress it. Unfortunately, it could only be suppressed, not removed. However, after suppression, you can also break through to become gods, but there will be an upper limit."
"I originally thought that we could only reach the intermediate god level at most, and then we couldn't rise any higher. But now it seems that the biggest limitation of the curse is that it may prevent our race from breaking through to become a main god. After all, no matter how many high-level gods there are, they are no match for the main gods."
Deer Tree: "I see. By the way, Lord Ball Ball, during the peak of our clan, were there no beings at the level of a main god?"
Ball's body suddenly twitched a few times, but in the end it maintained its round and chubby slime shape.
Qiuqiu: "ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas, at the peak of our race, a god-level being was born. Unfortunately, he betrayed us. You may not know, but he was the one who acted as an inside agent when the four great powers besieged our pantheon."
"At its peak, the World Tree was equivalent to a main god, and a rather powerful one at that. Add to that the traitor who broke through to become a main god, as well as hundreds of high-level gods and thousands of mid- and low-level gods. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible for any other pantheon to be so bored as to attack us."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping and Lu Shu both nodded in agreement. Indeed, this level of strength was already quite formidable.
Qiuqiu: "The three major pantheons were invited in by that traitor, who claimed to be coming to the alliance. Because of that traitor, our clan was completely unprepared and even held a banquet to entertain him."
"As expected, most of the superior gods were severely injured and died in an instant when they were caught off guard. In addition, the World Tree was merged and split into four smaller World Trees by the four main gods, so it declined."
Lu Shu: "So, one of the four main gods is that traitor?"
Qiuqiu: "That's right. If it weren't for him, how could the World Tree have been so easily split apart with its abilities? It's all because that traitor knew the World Tree's secrets."
Deer Tree: "So every one of us in our race is cursed now? What about those races that abandoned the World Race? Did they just get rid of their curses?"
Qiuqiu: "Yes, that's right. This curse is aimed at our World Clan. As long as you are a member of the World Clan, the curse will take effect. If you abandon your identity as a member of the World Clan, the curse will disappear."
"However, races that abandon the World Clan can never become gods. After all, they were all born from the World Tree. If they abandon the World Clan, then they will no longer have the World Clan's blessing."
"At least in the years I've seen several races that have abandoned the World Race, they have clearly become ordinary."
"The blessings bestowed upon them by the World Tree at the time of their birth have all disappeared. For example, the Thunder Clan has become ordinary, and their former ability to control lightning has completely vanished."
Chen Ping: "Oh, that's normal. They've already abandoned their identity as members of the World Clan, so it's only natural that they've lost their blessing."
"By the way, Qiuqiu, Linafil and her clan are now part of the World Race, could they have been cursed too?"
Qiuqiu: "No, I didn't connect the Deer Tree and the others to Lingling, making them truly Lingling's subordinate race. So the curse won't be transferred to other World Tree races, after all, there are still a few World Trees."
“A curse needs a medium, and that medium is the World Tree that has been split into four. But if the Deer Tree and the others connect to Lingling, I'm afraid the curse might spread, so…”
Deer Tree: "? Connected to the current World Tree? How come I didn't know that?"
Qiuqiu: "Nonsense, what do you know? I'm the only one who knows this. You are still the same race from before, not Lingling's race. Lingling's race only consists of the Primordial Elves."
Deer Tree: "Oh, I see."
Chen Ping opened the World Tree panel, and indeed, it only listed the Primal Elves as the only race.
Qiuqiu bounced around a couple of times, then said happily, "But now that you have a way to lift the curse, you can connect with Lingling. Then I will give the World Tree's essence to Lingling to devour, and then all the blessings of the World Clan will disappear."
"This is going to be a real problem for that traitor. Without the blessing, his strength will drop by at least 30%."
Chen Ping: "Well, but judging from the current amount of water in the Fountain of Youth, it seems that it is not enough for everyone to drink. Twelve cups of Fountain of Youth water, which are only half a cup each, have already used up nearly a third of the Fountain of Youth water."
Lu Shu stroked his beard: "We'll have to experiment and see how much Fountain of Youth combined with tears will work."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded: "That's the only way. Otherwise, we'll have to take it slowly. I'll go get some Fountain of Youth water to experiment with."
After saying that, he opened the portal and went inside.
......
Soon, they began conducting experiments, starting with a drop of the Fountain of Youth and a cup of tears, to see if it would work.
Unfortunately failed.
Next time, it was another drop of the Fountain of Youth, followed by half a cup of tears, and it was still a failure.
Next, a drop of the Fountain of Youth, a third of a tear, and it was a success.
Seeing the light emanating from the cup, everyone nodded in satisfaction. Their final ratio was one drop of the Fountain of Youth plus one drop of a tear, which would be enough for everyone to consume.
However, we need to see first whether the Fountain of Youth, made by combining a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth and a drop of tear, can work.
Lu Shu opened a portal and returned to his clan, where he met ten clansmen. He then began the experiment, starting with adding one drop at a time.
After watching as the tribesmen took the medicine, they quickly vomited black blood, indicating that it had taken effect.
Qiuqiu looked it over and then said, "No problem, the curse is off."
The remaining nine members of the tribe also ate it, and none of them had any problems.
Chen Ping: "A drop of the Fountain of Youth plus a drop of tear seems to be perfectly fine for those below the level of gods, but I wonder how effective it would be for those above the level of gods?"
"Chief Deer Tree, go and call Chief Mengjia and the others over. Let's lift their curse first."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shu nodded, then opened the portal and went inside.
