The Era of Gods-Chapter 439 - : Major Genetic Adjustment of the Wise Goblins

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Major Genetic Adjustment of the Wise Goblins

The Moon Cloud Realm was in a buzz of activity while an incarnation idly researched spells, Lin Xiao’s true body was also very busy.

He was busy adjusting the population structure of the Moon Xiao main plane and then expanding the surrounding subordinate planes.

Initially, he thought about waiting for some more time, but now it seems that there is no time to lose.

When the previous mysterious big shot planned this Crystal Wall System, there were other territories to provide resources, so the Moon Cloud Realm didn’t have plans for agriculture and animal husbandry, except for the Insects.

But the Insects’ territory lies beneath the ground, and what they eat is different from Humans; they consume various fungi and subterranean meat, which could barely sustain the Insects and definitely couldn’t spare anything to nourish the kingdoms above ground, nor would they, as they have been archenemies for tens of thousands of years. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Over the years, the stores of food in the Human Kingdoms had dwindled, and some areas had already started rationing, with the price of grain soaring.

Continuing to purchase from the Main World was definitely not viable; they had to cultivate their own.

Luckily, most preparations had been made beforehand. It was still that same plane; five hundred Steel Golems and a batch of troops made up of Supreme Naga and Lesser Naga were deployed to slowly exterminate the Fierce Beasts within the plane.

Fortunately, the plane wasn’t large, and five hundred Steel Golems together with two thousand Supreme Naga and twenty thousand Lesser Naga could completely handle it.

Once the plane was nearly cleared and most of the strongest Fierce Beasts were eliminated, a total of three thousand Pioneer Golems were deployed to start clearing the ground.

Initially, there had only been one thousand Pioneer Golems, with the additional two thousand purchased later.

These Golems could farm, fell trees, mine, and fish; they could do almost all the agricultural work.

The tall trees that were felled were perfect for making boats, wooden houses, fences, warehouses, and so on. In such a prepared and wholly transformable small plane, there was no need for high-end constructions; ordinary wooden houses were sufficient.

While one side was developing in full swing, a monumental change was also taking place in the Human Kingdom of the Moon Cloud Main World.

His guard, which included two True Gods and twenty Demigods, had now arrived in the Moon Cloud Realm and had sworn the Gaia Oath to him, officiating their service to him.

These subordinates naturally needed to be put to use, so using the power left by the previous Lord of the Crystal Wall System, they began establishing and spreading a massive Church of the Divine System that encompassed many Deities within the Human Kingdom.

With him as the Supreme God, followed by the Main Gods of War and Guardian, Strength and Wrath, and twenty other Gods with different Godhoods, he formed an enormous Church.

However, the establishment of the Church was not smooth, primarily because of the rejection from the upper aristocracy of the Human Kingdom.

The commoners didn’t react much, but it was mainly the upper aristocracy of the Human Kingdom with status and the Mages with power who rejected it.

The upper aristocracy wasn’t too hard to deal with; promising to not get involved with any secular powers significantly reduced their opposition, but winning over the mages who wield power was not so easy.

The Moon Cloud Main World had legendary Mages, and although scarce, they indeed existed; these Mages had touched upon the laws and indirectly felt the influence of Divine Enthronement.

Put simply, for a world like the Moon Cloud Realm that had been previously godless, the earliest legendary Mages all qualified to become the world’s initial Deities.

Now that a group of Deities had suddenly appeared to divide their followers, even if they were not clear about the ins and outs of Divine Enthronement, they would feel a loss and naturally have some resistance.

Besides, Mages themselves are a group that seeks Truth and are inherently resistant to the divine system.

If this had happened in the past, he would likely have been at a disadvantage, even with the Chaotic Mud Board in his hand; despite being the Lord of the Crystal Wall System, he could not force their will but had to slowly coax and divide the mage community using his authority.

But now, with two True Gods and twenty Demigods under his command, he could say he had overwhelming military force to suppress them.

Lin Xiao didn’t pay too much attention to this aspect; with two True Gods, twenty Demigods, and some members of the organization left by the previous mysterious big shot, if they couldn’t suppress the native mages at the highest legendary level and whose number was less than ten, then they might as well commit suicide.

Once development in the Moon Cloud Realm was on the right track and there wasn’t much of importance happening, Lin Xiao’s consciousness returned to the Divine Realm.

As he gradually expanded the Moon Cloud Realm, he suddenly realized a problem that he hadn’t noticed before: although the Divine Realm’s Clan was powerful, there seemed to be a huge flaw—they lacked a Race suitable for communicating with Humans.

Neither the Supreme Naga, Lesser Naga, the Crimson Furnace Clan, nor the Wise Goblins were very much like Humans and weren’t quite fit to coexist with them.

One must know that in the Chaotic Void Sea, the most mainstream species are Humans, Beastmen, Elves, etc., and almost every Crystal Wall System is likely to encounter these Races. In such a case, having a Race that is very similar to Humans and not rejected by them is definitely much easier than using Supreme Naga, whom Humans see as downright monstrous, to communicate and interact.

That is to say, he currently needs a species that is very similar to Humans, so he can conveniently communicate with the Humans of Different Domains in the future, and even conquer the native Humans without too much rejection, reducing losses.

Finding one right now is definitely unrealistic, and adding a new Clan seems unnecessary, so the only option is to adjust one himself, selecting from an existing Race within the Divine Realm.

And looking over the various species in the Divine Realm, there seems to be only one choice—the Wise Goblins.

First, the other clans have been adjusted several times, having been developed to their current racial limits, and further adjustments would lack better references.

However, the Wise Goblins were only adjusted once when they were first acquired, and their potential has not been fully exhausted.

Moreover, Wise Goblins are a humanoid race, somewhat similar to Humans in appearance from the beginning, and after the first adjustment, they became even more similar, though their stature was quite small.

The most important thing is that all clans within the Divine Realm have undergone major adjustments, almost reaching their racial limits. Only the Wise Goblins have not yet undergone a major adjustment, so it is time to begin a new round of enhancement for them.

Compared to before, Lin Xiao now has much richer resources at his disposal.

Firstly, he purchased a batch of Sun Elves and Moon Elves through the school’s network.

Just a small group of Sun Elves and Moon Elves, not in the form of Species Cards, and too few in number without both sexes to reproduce.

Using the Creation Rubik’s Cube, he first extracted the bloodlines of these two High Elf species for later use.

Then, he bought a batch of Spirit Absorbing Monsters, using the Creation Rubik’s Cube to extract their talents, only extracting the talents and not the bloodline.

Spirit Absorbing Monsters are the legendary Heart-devouring Demons, extremely hideous and revolting in appearance, so he definitely could not keep the bloodline, only extracting one of their talents.

Next, he purchased a batch of Class Spell talents, or other interesting talents.

The enhancement direction for the Wise Goblins was singular: that of spellcasting professions, so naturally, they needed to be equipped with some Class Spell-like abilities.

After preparing everything necessary, Lin Xiao took out the Goblin Card and threw it into the Magic Cube Space to start the genetic adjustment of the Wise Goblins.

First, he extracted all the talents and bloodlines from the Wise Goblins, then took the high elf bloodlines from the Sun Elves and Moon Elves, removed conflicting and redundant overlapping parts, and then continuously poured in Creation Energy to merge the remaining bloodlines into one.

This genetic adjustment was very important to Lin Xiao, requiring a significant investment as he aimed to complete it in one go to save the trouble of continuous adjustments in the future.

As the merged biological genes were mainly elf, considering looks alone, elves were the most appealing. Humans are visual creatures—a group of adventurers encountering an elf and a Beastman fighting in the wilderness would almost certainly aid the elf ninety-nine percent of the time, regardless of the reasons, simply because the elf looks better than the ugly and terrifying Beastman.

Correspondingly, once the primarily elf-based merged genes were established, the new species would no longer be goblins; it would be more appropriate to call them Wise Elves.

Of course, the adjustment is not yet complete, and the more critical adjustments and enhancements haven’t started; calling them Wise Elves is premature at this point.

Firstly, he removed the unnecessary and excessively lengthy genes from the newly merged bloodline, retaining only the useful ones and then reinforcing those existing genetic abilities.

This process was familiar territory for Lin Xiao, having adjusted other species multiple times before, and it was completed smoothly.

Next, he extracted the several talents and specializations of the original Wise Goblins.

The talents were unparalleled Wisdom, Time is Money, and Afterglow of the goblins.

The specializations were Spiritual Power Genius and Clever Heart and Skillful Hands.

He also included the talents inherent to Sun Elves and Moon Elves, which were Son of the Sun and Son of the Moon, Spell Talent, Spiritual Power Genius, Archery Talent, and so on.

As well as several powerful Class Spell-like abilities and talents he had prepared.

For this adjustment, Lin Xiao was prepared to spend a vast amount of Creation Energy to enhance the newly adjusted Wise Elves to the level of Sub-legendary Race in one step, thus the upper limit for accommodating talents and specializations would be very high, affording ample room for choice.

Unfortunately, it was not feasible to directly elevate them to Legendary Beings in one step. No matter how much the racial talents of High Elves and Wise Goblins were enhanced, it would not be sufficient to reach the level of Legendary Race.

This had to be done in two steps: first elevate to Sub-legendary species, and then, by merging a suitable and extremely powerful bloodline into the Wise Elf bloodline, it might be possible to make that leap to Legendary Race.

Considering the requirements for the Supreme Naga to advance to Legendary Race, this is likely to be a distant future event.

Fortunately, Sub-legendary species are already quite powerful, and since the Wise Goblins have always taken the genuine Mage path, the racial level’s restriction on their power limit is not significant. Previously, as a Medium race, the Wise Goblins were able to produce numerous Rank 6 and Rank 7 Grand Magicians, and once they become a Sub-legendary species, they will undoubtedly give birth to many Rank 8 or even Rank 9 legendary Mages.

His gaze swept over all the talents and specializations, and Lin Xiao first looked at the several talents exclusive to Wise Goblins, Time is Money and Afterglow of the goblins.

These two talents originated from Ancient Goblins, and he was unable to further enhance them before due to the mid-level racial cap of Wise Goblins; now, without this restriction, it was possible to…

“Merge into one or strengthen separately?”

Lin Xiao stroked his chin, several ideas running through his mind.
