332 Changes in Maria’s World (1/2)
Leaves that were the size of palms fell down, following the light. The giant Fairy Tree had taken root in a green jungle.
Small fairies were flying among the dappled sunlight, collecting food and organizing the forest. They had magically turned the Capital of God into a beautiful botanical garden.
”We fairies were born to take care of this Capital of God!” all of the fairies exclaimed as they went about their work.
Lu Zhiyu stopped looking at the Capital of God, turning his attention to the faraway Maria's World. He could vaguely see the continents and oceans in Maria's World through layers of clouds.
Many different being were inhabiting in that place. Some of them were weak, some of them were powerful, some had humble origins, and others had royal blood. However, each life form and race had its own unique meaning and reason for being born.
”Orcs were the first kind of creatures born in this world!” Lu Zhiyu murmured. ”Humans are the most important factors in civilization advancement! Magical beasts are the beginning of the supernatural lives, and the dragon race is the origin of divine incantation.”
Every race had specific purposes. The new spawn races that Lu Zhiyu wanted to create would be an extension of his exploration and influence in the universe.
However, compared to other spawn races that Lu Zhiyu had created before, the creation of this spawn race was more confusing to Lu Zhiyu than ever. This was because he didn't know exactly what kind of race he was supposed to create in order to meet his own expectations.
”Should I make machine and silicon-based life forms, an artificially intelligent civilization, or a living creature civilization, like the insect race?” he wondered aloud.
As he pondered over this question, Lu Zhiyu reckoned that the race that he was about to create didn't need to be powerful at first, as he valued potential above all. Besides, if the race's original power was too strong, it would constrain their future potential. Likewise, if the race's expectancy was too long, they would rest on their laurels and the civilization would gradually die out.
They could fight and evolve so that they could gain power and long lives, but they couldn't have everything within them the moment they were born. It was for this reason that Lu Zhiyu gave up the idea of creating a machine-driven silicon-based civilization or an artificially intelligent civilization.
Neither of these two civilizations had breakthrough and innovation abilities. They might have tremendous fighting power potential and assimilation abilities, but it was still difficult for them to create and innovate to make a breakthrough inn their civilization level.
These civilizations could conquer other civilizations in order to upgrade themselves using their forceful stormtroopers and techniques for eroding power. However, they didn't possess enough development potential.
Lu Zhiyu was already powerful enough to conquer other civilizations and upgrade a civilization. After all, he was a mythical creature, which meant that he was much better at annihilating other civilizations than the aforementioned three civilizations.
After giving this a lot of thought, Lu Zhiyu eventually decided to create his new spawn races based on his own life form. These would be carbon-based life forms that had the human shape.
They would be merged with botanic genes, which would give them the same life expectancies as the fairies'. This would also mean that they could photosynthesize. This would also allow them to live in the space for a short amount of time, and it would also instil them high intelligences and impressive study capabilities.
The most important thing, however, was their potential, which was a supernatural power that Lu Zhiyu would bestow upon them. They would then have the supernatural abilities to go on adventures and create their own future, which was why they had the potential to become an interstellar race.
What Lu Zhiyu was trying to decide now was what kind of power he should give them. He decided that it should be supernatural power that was combined with the power of mythical creatures and technological civilization. This was mainly because he wanted to be sure that they would be sturdy and have the potential to create their own futures.
What kind of supernatural bloodline should I give them? he then wondered.
Lu Zhiyu was sitting in the witchcraft garden in the Capital of God, while writing all sorts of bloodline abilities on a piece of paper. A ton of information was flowing through his mind, and he kept mapping it to the creature format, while trying to deduct the creature format from it. However, Lu Zhiyu eventually gave up on all of these formats, as he couldn't find anything suitable and up to his high standards.
At the moment, Eva was wearing a purple dress and a hat, and she was standing behind Lu Zhiyu. Many fairies were flying around her, all of them speaking in a language that no one else could understand. This was the language of the fairies.
There were many small fairies in this garden. They were responsible for arranging the magically-reinforced plants within it. Many of these magically-reinforced plants had powers that were beyond all imagination.
For instance, the Fiery Lotus could give someone a supernatural bloodline. As for the Crystal Mint, that could transform a human being into a being that had a half-energy status.
The small pond of water that was at the center of the garden was the Immortality Spring, which could give people hundreds of years more to live. The garden even had a plant that could be used to make black demon tea, which was known to have euphoric psychedelic effects on people.
