After completing the formalities for the group, Ye Chen ignored them.
As a lord, he needs to control the affairs of the entire primordial planet. It is impossible for him to focus all his attention on a few subjects. For him, the Relief General Store or the librarian are just a little spice in his boring life.
Churchill received a small manual, which only described a skill, and he quickly finished copying it. However, it would take Catherine and Houndoom a lot of time, especially Catherine, who would probably spend more than a week copying that thick stack of alchemy notes.
With the end of military training, the teaching at the Elf Royal Academy gradually returned to normal. Many teachers carried out their teaching in an orderly manner, and the trade center of the entire Xiniu Hezhou began to gradually shift towards the Elf Royal City. The previously deserted Elf Royal City began to gradually become lively.
The population of the entire Primordial Star is still small. Even the most populous continent, Xiniu Hezhou, only has tens of thousands of people, including a large number of newborns. At this time, it is not difficult to settle in the Elf King's City. However, once the population really increases, it will be much more difficult to enter.
"Brother Chen, I've got something great in the trade, you'll definitely love it!" That evening, Fatty sent a message, showing his obese body in the projection, waving a crystal in front of Ye Chen.
"What is it?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Hehe! A fertility stone! A good thing, right?" The fat man chuckled as he looked at Ye Chen.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Ye Chen immediately sat up in surprise, looking at the figure in the projection with delight.
"Are you kidding me? You can actually trade for something like this?" Ye Chen exclaimed in amazement.
Divine stones are extremely rare items, and there are many different types. They can directly imbue a territory with certain rules, and different divine stones can imbue different rules.
For example, the fertility stone that the fat man traded can add an extra fertility-related rule to the territory to increase the population growth within the territory. Of course, it does not directly increase the population, but rather enhances the fertility ability of the population within the territory.
Normally, a child is born one at a time, but with the blessing of the rules of the Reproduction Stone, it may become a birth of two. Or, races like angels and moon goddesses, which are only of one sex, may also obtain special ways of reproduction.
For example, males can reproduce with other species, and females can conceive naturally, etc.
In short, different divine stones have different effects, and even among the same type of fertility divine stone, their effects may vary.
"Hehe! Don't you even know who I am? How about it? Interested?" the fat man said with a smug smile.
"Awesome! How much did you pay for it? What are its attributes?" Ye Chen praised without reservation, while also expressing great curiosity about the attributes of the divine stone.
"Hehe! Ten goblin armors, that's a reward for a new lord passing the newbie trial. How the hell is it that he's so lucky?" the fat man said unwillingly.
As the first group to pass the newcomer trial, all they received were normal ranking rewards. But those who came after them were able to get things like divine stones. It's really frustrating to think about.
"Alright! You're a high-level lord, and you even get an extra nest loading slot as a reward. What more could you want? This stuff is much harder to get than divine stones. Although divine stones are precious, they're not too hard to obtain. Their value is even less than that of life essence. It's just that the Trial Grounds are a bit harder to get!" Ye Chen said irritably. This guy really is ungrateful!
“That’s true, I’m just not willing to accept it. Alright, alright, send someone to my place to take the divine stone. Your territory will develop rapidly in the next thirty years!” The fat man said with a smirk, and then hung up the communication.
He had no use for the Procreation Stone; the goblin race's reproductive ability was terrifyingly strong, and he wished he could find something to suppress that ability.
As for the Titans, their reproduction rate is too slow. Even if you give them a divine stone, it won't be of much use and would be a complete waste.
Upon receiving Fatty's notification, Ye Chen didn't hesitate at all and immediately sent Ye Xi to personally bring back the divine stone.
Holding the fist-sized red crystal in his hand, Ye Chen felt a faint divine power emanating from it.
Divine stones are often formed from divine power. Only the most powerful gods have the ability to condense divine stones, and this will greatly deplete their divine power, requiring a long time to recover.
Therefore, the divine stone also contains the power of the rules mastered by the gods, and has the power to transform the world.
"It covers an area of ten million square kilometers and doubles the reproductive and fertility capabilities? It's indeed suitable for the development of a territory!" Ye Chen said, looking at the description in the divine stone.
A range of ten million square kilometers is no small amount, roughly one-third the size of Xiniu Hezhou. If it were to be placed there, the population of Xiniu Hezhou would experience explosive growth. However, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to use this divine stone on the alien races of Xiniu Hezhou or on the witch race of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The alien races here are merely subjects; if their population were to grow, it would be difficult to control them in Xiniu Hezhou. The Wu race, on the other hand, also has the ability to reproduce and is their own nest and dependent race, so there are naturally differences in kinship among them.
"Forget it, it's only thirty years. No matter how much the population of these alien races grows, it won't become uncontrollable. This will allow their population to grow, and they can be used as cannon fodder when they go back to the dark world. Otherwise, if the witch race really suffers a lot of sacrifices, I'm afraid I'll be heartbroken!" In the end, Ye Chen decided to place the divine stone within the area of New Aini City.
Moon Moon and Silver Osmanthus Moon Spirits cannot reproduce, so he can only rely on the Jade Rabbit and Fire Crow clans at present. The development of the Witch Clan also requires a lot of time. Therefore, when they leave the Time Cave and enter the darkness thirty years later, they will still need these alien races to act as the main force to fight their way into the darkness, so as to preserve the strength of their own clans as much as possible.
This practice is cruel, but it is common among lords. The most loyal followers are the lord's most faithful subjects and family. There is a distinction between close and distant relatives, and these subjects will always be the first to rush into danger.
After making the decision, Ye Chen did not hesitate and placed the divine stone directly under the land near New Aini City. For the next hundred years, all living beings on this land will have a 100% increase in conception and birth rates. Twenty-five years later, when the new generation of young people grows up, the entire Xiniu Hezhou will surely be full of unprecedented vitality.
