The Era of Gods Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Merge

This card decomposed into two portions: a pure Bloodline Origin, and the racial Branding of the Black-backed Jackals.

Up next was naturally the two 5-Star Racial Breeding Cards. He got them decomposed, extracted their breeding rules, and set them aside for the time being.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Energy of Creation yielded from the cards’ decomposition wasn’t as thick as before.

After everything he had done, within the Creation Cube at present there were a total of four pure Bloodline Origins, one Branding of Serpentmen, one Branding of Murlocs, one Branding of Gnome Kind, one Branding of Bugbears, one Branding of Black-backed Jackals, and two threads of breeding rules.

Lin Xiao had two choices. First, he could select a Racial Branding, merge it with the four portions of pure Bloodline Origins, then further merge it with the two threads of breeding rules to improve the new species’ reproductive ability.

As for the remaining four Racial Brandings, they would be further decomposed into nourishment to strengthen the selected Bloodline Origin as much as possible.

In this way, with the new race merged with the other races’ Bloodline Origin, they would turn out much stronger than usual members of their race.

For instance, if he still decided to use the Murloc, after merging it with the four portions of pure Bloodline Origin, the new Murlocs would still be Murlocs, but their physique would be much stronger than the Murlocs that were in his Divine Realm right now.

The second option, on the other hand, was a bizarre idea that Lin Xiao had been thinking about for a while.

Before the cheating system was activated, he already knew how the Creation Cube worked. Back then, he would let his mind run wild when he wasn’t busy, and he had generated a fair share of bizarre ideas. One of them, which he couldn’t stop thinking them, was: could he merge different races together and see what could be born?

Would it turn out to be Père David’s deer, or become an entirely new species?

The idea had been in his mind for a very long time, but he had never gotten the chance to try it out. Now, the opportunity lay right before him, and it depended entirely on whether he could make up his mind.

Lin Xiao certainly was determined. It was just that the current situation wasn’t quite suitable for him to try out strange ideas.

After all, it wasn’t that no True God had ever attempted the fusion of different races. Some True Gods with the Divine Role of Creation had already tried to fuse different species to see if they could create a powerful new species. But, basically, all attempts had resulted in failure.

The most important thing was that the newly fused race would already have all the Racial Brandings merged as one, which most probably could not be resegregated.

In other words, with this integration, all the cards would be merged as one, and there was a chance that it could not be dismantled. If he tried it and it didn’t work, he would lose everything from the four cards he’d decomposed.

But for Lin Xiao to conceive of this idea, and to even be in a dilemma about whether or not he should do so, naturally, there was a benefit to this option that he simply could not refuse.

According to mankind’s historical records over hundreds of thousands of years, any God who was capable of creating a new species would acquire the Divine Role of Creation.

Yes, any God, including a divine life like him who couldn’t;t even assume a Divine Role at all, yet. He wouldn’t acquire it immediately, but once he became a demigod, he would get it automatically.

The crux of this was that the Divine Role of Creation was considered an extra Divine Role on top of the regular Divine Role, allowing him to have two Roles with only the five points of Divinity he would need to become a demigod.

It was true that the Divine Role of Creation didn’t add any combat power. It wasn’t a combat-type Divine Role. However, it was a high-level Divine Role whose main function was to elevate the upper cap of one’s growth.

Should he only possess the ordinary Divine Role of Murloc, the upper limit of his growth wouldn’t be high. No matter how many Murloc followers he had, it would be impossible for him to breakthrough level 10 in Godhead to become an intermediate class Divine Power.

However, with the Divine Role of Creation, as long as he had enough understanding of the rules, and enough believers, he could grow all the way into a formidable Divine Power, over level 15 in Godhead.

That was the disparity.

Therefore, despite knowing that the risk was immense, Lin Xiao still wanted to give it a try.

As the saying goes, take a bet, and a motorcycle becomes a bike. Should he fail…

With the strength of the Spawn in his Divine Realm, even if he maintained his current state, his results wouldn’t be too bad in the finals. Maybe he couldn’t get into Elite Class, but he also wouldn’t fail entirely.

But if he succeeded…

Heheh!

Lin Xiao rubbed his palm, took a deep breath, and said, “Merge!”

In fact, he could just chant the word in his mind, but he still said it out loud as a way to cheer himself up.

As he uttered the word, changes were already happening within the Creation Cube. In accordance to what he was thinking, the four potions of pure Bloodline Origins merged into a powerful Bloodline Origin.

Then, as his consciousness hovered between the five Racial Brandings, he prompted with his mind, and the Murloc Branding of Life flew up and fell into this vigorous Bloodline Origin.

He chose the Murloc as the main species. In addition to the convenience of integrating them with his existing Murloc Spawn in the future, there was another important reason, which was the Salted Fish Spike ability previously loaded onto the Murloc race. If he used the Murloc Branding of Life as the main component, should a new species be created in the future, they would automatically inherit the ability to learn this powerful skill.

If he used another species as the main, the newly merged species wouldn’t be able to learn this ability.

Brandings of Life were thrown into this strengthened Bloodline Origin, portion after portion. For every portion that was hurled within, the fluctuation in the Chaotic Sphere of Blood that was exuding faint golden light intensified. After all four portions were inserted, the fluctuation quickly escalated to more than three times the initial intensity.

Subsequently, he tossed the two threads of Breeding Rules extracted from the two Breeding Cards into the mixture.

Then, he funneled in the Energy of Creation transformed from the Cod Card which he had decomposed previously. A mosquito’s legs may be tiny, but it still amounted to something. Every bit of enhancement mattered.

After doing all that, the Chaotic Sphere of Blood, which was about to turn grey, boiled like boiled water, and waves of mysterious ripples poured out from within.

As the master of the Creation Cube, at this moment, Lin Xiao unknowingly sat on his throne and fell asleep. The Cube hanging in the middle of the vast sea of his consciousness quickly weltered back and forth. Rays of grey light burst out from the cracks of the rotating cube as if there was a sun shining brilliantly within.

At that very instant, Lin Xiao’s Divine Soul synchronized with the Creation Cube. A Mystery of Creation that was beyond his current understanding poured into his mind.

Murlocs, Serpentmen, Gnomes, Jackals; every alteration the four species had ever gone through, from the evolution of their initial birth, to being decomposed by the Creation Cube, to being merged together, flooded his mind, instantly enlightening him about the mysteries of these four species.

At that moment, Lin Xiao had a strong feeling that, if he had enough Divine Power, he could create these four species out of thin air.

The strong feeling turned into an irresistible impulse. In the dark, he felt as if he had stretched out his finger to point at the void. The next second, the void abruptly exploded, and he instantly lost consciousness.
