After setting down the Mother-Child Spring, Ye Chen's gaze shifted to the last item: the Fairy Race Civilization Seed, which, though not of high level, was extremely rare and practical.
Ye Chen hesitated, wondering whether he should integrate the seeds of the fairy race's civilization into his territory at this stage. Ten years had passed since he last integrated into the dragon race, and in theory, he should be able to continue integrating new clans. However, there were already quite a few clan nests in his territory.
Silver-leaf laurel tree, crimson paulownia tree, Fengdu City, Pangu Palace, and the Four Seas Dragon Palace—a total of five clan lairs. Probably no new lord would be as frantically integrated into the flame of civilization as Ye Chen.
Even the most outstanding lords only have three or four clan nests before advancing to the fourth tier. Too many clan nests will affect the ecology of the entire territory and require a considerable territory area to support them.
"Ten years have passed, and the territory is large enough, so there shouldn't be any problem!" Ye Chen thought for a moment. Normally, a third-tier lord should be able to safely carry a maximum of six clan nests. His territory is large, and it has been converted into a planet in advance, so it should be able to support more.
With that in mind, Ye Chen no longer hesitated and chose to integrate.
"The new spark of civilization has been successfully integrated and has undergone a mutation due to the influence of the lord's talent."
The familiar voice of the Great Dao echoed in his mind. Ye Chen, who had heard it many times before, felt no emotion and directly began to examine the new clan's nest.
Gate of Essence and Qi
All things in heaven and earth possess a spirit, and all things in the world can become spirits. By opening the gate of essence and energy, improving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, all living beings can have a glimmer of hope.
Essence Value: (The Gate of Essence has no energy value and no physical form. Consuming essence can transform any creature or item into a spirit or accelerate the advancement of a spirit.)
Essence: It is formed from living plants or animals after they have gained sentience.
Strange: It is formed from inanimate objects that have gained sentience.
Advanced requirements: The level of the Gate of Essence changes with the level of the Taiyin and Taiyang within the territory. The current level is 3, and you can accumulate Essence Points every day.
Nest Effect 1: Spirits can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to transform their internal energy and improve their cultivation.
Nest Effect 2: Can consume essence to transform all things into spirits; the amount of essence consumed varies with the item's level.
Nest Effect 3: Spirits have no soul and do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but spirits with souls can return to their soul form after death and return to Fengdu.
Nest Effect 4: At the location where essence is released, essence gushing points are randomly generated, gathering a large amount of essence, increasing the chance of spirit transformation, and accelerating the transformation speed.
Nest Effect 5: Blood energy will cause essence energy to become violent. Monsters that absorb too much blood energy will fall into demonhood and will no longer be able to cultivate through essence energy. This process is irreversible.
...
"A spirit?" Ye Chen was stunned when he saw the gate of essence that appeared after the transformation of the spirit race's civilization spark, and he couldn't help but murmur.
Humans, gods, demons, monsters, spirits, and monsters—these are the six most common races in the primordial world.
Gods and demons are born, Nuwa created humans, while demons, spirits, and monsters are the lifeblood of all things in heaven and earth, formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Living beings are spirits, while inanimate objects are monsters. If a spirit greedily consumes blood and qi, it will degenerate into a demon.
The ancients always talked about slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits, but they never mentioned the word "spirit" or "monster," and that is precisely why.
Gods, humans, spirits, and monsters all need pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate, while demons and monsters are beings that disrupt the balance.
However, demons are not the same as demon races; there are still differences. Emperor Jun established the Heavenly Court and created a cultivation method suitable for all races in the world. At the same time, he announced to the world that anyone without a race, without a master, or without a family could enter the Heavenly Court and become a member of the demon race.
Therefore, the demon race mentioned later was not a demon in the true sense, but a group of beings who cultivated the demon race techniques of Emperor Jun.
Ye Chen had not expected that the Western fairy race would disappear directly under the transformation of the primordial bloodline, becoming a phantom energy gate in the territory, bringing the fairy, monster, and other races to the territory.
Yes, the three races! Demons will inevitably appear alongside spirits and monsters. Every conscious being has emotions and desires, and will be tempted by desires, eventually falling into depravity.
"Alright, I was still thinking about how to deal with those powerful creatures, but now it seems we don't need to take the path of magical beasts!" Ye Chen nodded, placed the Gate of Essence and Qi down, and strands of special aura poured out, as if some unknown changes had occurred throughout the entire Primordial Star.
“Since Xiniu Hezhou intends to develop in the style of Western fantasy, then let’s not let its essence flow into the West!” Ye Chen thought for a moment, looked at the currently booming Xiniu Hezhou, and directly cut off the flow of essence.
Without vital energy, no elves would be born in Xiniu Hezhou, and high-level beings would still be overrun by magical beasts. To speak and take human form, one must still follow the rules of the Western world, grow to the level of a demigod, and undergo reincarnation before being able to transform into a human.
This difference stems from the different cultivation methods on both sides. Spirits and monsters possess intelligence but lack souls, do not consume flesh and blood, and do not enter the cycle of reincarnation; demonic beasts have low intelligence but complete souls and live more unrestrained lives.
Once a magical beast is reincarnated and reborn, it will not only possess exceptional talent, but will also retain the talents it had as a magical beast, making it virtually invincible among its peers.
So it's hard to say which is better or worse; they just have their own unique characteristics.
With the appearance of the Gate of Essence and Qi, Ye Chen clearly felt that the rules of the entire Primordial Star seemed to be becoming more and more complete, and he could even feel the jubilation coming from the planet.
Ye Chen's divine sense swept across the entire territory, but unfortunately, the essence had only just been born, and it wasn't so easy for spirits to be born. He only saw a lonely sight.
"Hmm?" Just as he was about to withdraw his divine sense, Ye Chen suddenly paused and looked towards the back garden of the lord's mansion.
A radish spirit, about half a person's height, looked at the sky with a puzzled expression, as if it sensed some changes in the world that it was unaware of. But soon its eyes lit up with joy, and it began to sit cross-legged, slowly absorbing the specks of essence falling from the sky.
"Is it that radish spirit?" Ye Chen immediately recognized it as the radish spirit he had created using the Primordial Points.
For a long time, this radish spirit has been unable to find its own way of cultivation. It can only slowly improve through the cultivation of the jade rabbit. More than ten years have passed, and it is only at the second level. However, its knowledge and medicinal value have improved a lot. With its knowledge, it can even teach at Hope Academy. Its medicinal value is even stronger than the third-level spiritual medicine. It can not only bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, but also allow units below the third level to steadily advance one level.
This medicinal effect is even greater than that of some third-tier spiritual herbs.
