Ms. Shui Baihe was like a typhoon—she arrived swiftly and left abruptly.
A planned month did not end easily; the vastness and complexity of this world exceeded their expectations... It was only after two months and ten days that her team completed all their work.
When it became clear there were no more research targets in the near term, she unhesitatingly fled that day... leaving behind a pile of books and assignments for someone.
"These topics, you should be able to handle them, and I’ll check in regularly."
Although they had been together for more than two months, even often eating and sleeping together in the lab, Lu Ping’an genuinely lacked understanding of this "teacher"... she talked about nothing other than work and research, and any casual conversation turned to research topics within three sentences.
This was a person who truly dedicated everything to her work... Lu Ping’an didn’t express much emotion about it, despite knowing she was indeed remarkable and contributed a lot, he noticed the joy she found in her choice of lifestyle.
At the same time, Lu Ping’an also discovered a bit of counterintuitive knowledge...
"Tier really doesn’t matter..." Though it sounded a bit pretentious, Lu Ping’an truly believed it.
Even with bodyguards present, no one could be sure of their safety during exploration in the Exotic Realm, especially in this extraordinary Otherworld where any wild creature might be a super big BOSS.
"...I don’t think I can defeat Ms. Shui."
When Lu Ping’an realized he might not be able to defeat a Sixth-tier, he was genuinely a bit shocked.
Of course, he knew this was an exception... a Pure Scholar profession fighting with "knowledge" in the hands of someone on Ms. Shui’s level had an exaggerated limit of strength.
But after really spending time together... he felt that combat power wasn’t that important.
High-Tier Professionals, especially those from the high-level life series, really aren’t lacking in combat power, and possibly any research result that gets "industrialized" could turn into an invincible Legion of Catastrophe.
In two months, Lu Ping’an gained a lot, a great deal, but needed time to sort and absorb it all.
Meanwhile, the seeds he had sown were beginning to sprout.
Even during his journey, he met many of the Phoenix Ape People. They began to cultivate their own homelands and cities, and quite naturally, clashed and even waged wars with other Ethnic groups.
Most of the time, Lu Ping’an saw them among the mercenaries employed by the God of Martial Fight... they all greeted Lu cheerfully, and he couldn’t simply ignore them.
"Is it a bit too easy to deceive them... too easy to satisfy?"
As a "parent," Lu felt a bit hesitant and uneasy. Were these little guys going too far? Although several of the strongmen had grown twice as tall as Lu.
"Are they too fearless of death? Should I instill more desire to survive in them...?"
Even with so many emotions, these Newborn, still lacked the fear of Death.
Mainly because in their Ethnic group, there essentially was no concept of Death; all Life was an infinite cycle of basic particles.
And these "weaknesses" might actually be good news for outsiders.
After all, easily content and bravely forward mercenaries, who wouldn’t like them?
In the end, Lu Ping’an still chose to abandon further corrections... following Ms. Shui’s teachings did not teach him to respect life, he just understood the necessity of "not messing with the garbage code before the program crashes."
Life has its reasons for existing, casually making changes might not show problems in the short term, but long-term chain reactions are very likely to backfire... The latest being, Lu raised the sentient recognition of the Ethnic group, hoping to have more artists, but instead, this resulted in the appearance of a large number of War Zealots.
War, was also constantly ongoing.
A City, a Fortress, a ring of towns and "fields" surrounded by it, these Life forms were maturing in their own way.
"Let them gain from the losses..."
What ultimately made Lu Ping’an give up on corrections was determining that this image of "simple deceive and fearless silly mercenaries" was not a problem for their Ethnic group.
More and more organizations and individuals came to employ this Newborn Ethnic group, whether as laborers or for charging into battles, one war after another, one job after another, they naturally integrated into it.
When they returned to their Ethnic group, they brought back outsider’s Knowledge, advanced technology, Experience... In this back and forth, they truly propelled the development of the entire Ethnic group, simultaneously scattered its individuals across this world everywhere.
"That’s indeed useful..."
Even the Creator, Lu, was tempted and employed two servants.
Truly pleasing to the eye and willing to work, and the wages demanded were negligible... such cheap and useful labor, various forces would not oppose.
Lu Ping’an, also seriously considered Ms. Shui’s suggestions...
"Actually, this is also equivalent to asking whether to bring this Ethnic group into the Multi-universe..."
The Phoenix Ape People were impressive in many aspects, especially their growth potential even surpassing ordinary humans, but most of God of Martial Fight’s warriors did not have much vigilance or precaution against this Ethnic group.
On one hand, because they were indeed generally simple, but more importantly, they were likely unable to leave this world.
They were the Family Clan of this world, but still, they were half Elemental Creatures constituted by special particles and Elements.
Standing here, they were actually "Feeding" and "Excreting"; they were part of the natural cycle and did not require external supplementation or adjustment.
And leaving this world... They would certainly become weak, and might even disintegrate due to "malnutrition."
A race that couldn’t leave its native environment, no matter how powerful, was bound to be despised by those Star-zone Ethnic groups.
"You can make them your Family Clan."
This was the possibility Ms. Shui saw when they first met, and later, also conveniently verified.
The current posture and potential of Phoenix Ape People, and Lu Ping’an’s "Rule" were closely related; in the process of Creation, his "subjective perceptions" unavoidably blended with it.
"Ten Thousand Spirits, an Infinite gathering and dispersing, Life reassembles through the repeated Reincarnations... Isn’t this very similar to this world? Perhaps this world is your opportunity."
Ms. Shui’s suggestions, Lu Ping’an naturally took seriously, especially when it bore significant possibilities.
As for how to take them away, Ms. Shui also gave a suggestion.
"They are actually materialized Energy and Elements, in other worlds, this materialization might not be stable, so, returning them to Elements and Energy, wouldn’t that do the trick..."
Lu Ping’an thought for a moment, indeed there was this possibility but how exactly to operate?

"Flame, they are the Children of Flames, you are the Mother of Flames... by turning them into eternally burning blazes, couldn’t they become your own Legion?"
