[Phoenix Bloodwood (World’s Reason)]: Phoenix City World bestows you this gift, and at the same time, it harbors expectations, hoping that Its children can travel throughout the Multi-universe...]
The massive blood-colored crystal pillar extends upwards from the courtyard. Within its blood-colored radiance, tinged with a touch of the Sun’s gold, sparkling particles continuously fall, infusing the air with an array of colors.
Lu Ping’an spreads his hands, watching as the "Red Blood Blossom" lands in his palms, then slowly disintegrates.
In a sense, this is the highest-level gift Lu Ping’an has received... but it is also the World’s way of repaying him.
Allowing a child of a world to step out of its confines, for its own "genes" to spread out, is also what the World longs to see... In some ways, Phoenix City World’s generosity exceeds that of any before.
Behind Lu Ping’an, a crystal pillar rises from the center of the Holy Fire Church, with the Holy Fire burning at the middle and lower parts of the pillar, endowing it with eternal and infinite energy.
The pillar itself also possesses the Authority to transform "energy" into "life."
This is the essence of Phoenix City World, and the source of its infinite life.
Now, this Authority has also become part of the courtyard.
[Lu Ping’an’s Family Clan (Silver Lower to Gold Lower)]: Each day, this world will naturally produce two Family Clan members. The average life rank of these creatures is about Silver Lower, but there is a certain chance to obtain mutated Exotic Species (up to Gold Lower).]
The newborns are "flames," which allows them to meld into the Flame pool of the Holy Fire Church.
[Life that can be purchased with money (Silver Lower to Gold Lower)]: If Life Points are spent, the production speed of Family Clan members will greatly increase; furthermore, with an additional batch of points, you can specify their Talent, Profession inclination; if you’re willing to pay more, you can guarantee the minimum life rank (up to Upper Silver); and if you’re willing to pay even more, you can determine special limbs...]
In a way, this truly reflects Lu Ping’an’s capabilities, accentuating the notion that money can achieve anything.
As long as enough points are offered, with a doubling and another doubling, even creating a Rule-level creature is possible.
[Immortal Family Clan (Gold Lower)]: This clan, with ’bloodwood’ at its core, will engage in an ecological cycle. Once a member of the Family Clan dies, if they even possess Life Points of their life rank, they will naturally revive after a certain period. If the creature cannot be ’bought back to life,’ it will enter the natural cycle.]
This "World’s Reason" is a return gift from the World, and also the foundation for taking the Phoenix City genes to the Multi-universe.
Lu Ping’an spent a lot of money to hire high-ranking Spirit Mediums to make a sacrifice (communicate) with the World before finally receiving this reciprocity.
More precisely, he obtained the Authority to extract this rule without being attacked.
As a price, he also lost that which was no longer as important, the most-favored-nation treatment.
[Creator (World’s Reason)]: You are the Creator of the Phoenix Ape People and the Phoenix Fire; they will remember this grace...]
A very straightforward explanation, Phoenix Fire is the name for the evolved Phoenix Ape People. They are almost a different species from their past selves, and this name itself is bestowed by "Phoenix City World"... in a sense, this carries with it the hopes and blessings from "parents."
More than a month has passed, and Lu Ping’an now has over seventy Newborn Phoenix Fires.
Under the guidance of Older sister Little Flame, they have started to adapt to the local environment and life... Lu Ping’an’s Courtyard, letting those unable to adjust to the Phoenix City World, too, live in a separate small world.
Lu Ping’an continues to deliberately suppress himself... He estimates that upon his next Advancement, the Courtyard might have to become an independent small world, and the boats of other Deities might no longer carry him.
On another note, he vaguely senses that the World has always favored him, and at this juncture, it’s best for him to return to the "mother world" to Advance.
"Before, it didn’t matter, but this step is crucial. It’s the moment my world takes form. By then, the Courtyard will definitely expand significantly, naturally drawing upon surrounding materials as Keystones..."
Eighth-tier, one needs to nurture their own World’s Reason, and even without spiritual intuition, Lu Ping’an also felt the need to wait a bit longer.
The reciprocity from the Phoenix City World had arrived, and since he accepted the reward, Lu Ping’an has always been quite diligent.
He is constantly revising the genetics of the two ethnic groups, making them more adapted to the environment.
Unknowingly, the two genetically related ethnicities took completely different evolutionary paths.
The Phoenix Ape People became increasingly stable; their bodies became more materialized. Their method of evolution was simple and crude – constantly seizing other kin’s "limbs" for stable evolution.
They were destined to become top predators... of course, limited to this world.
The Phoenix Fire, true to its name, was increasingly becoming ionized... to be precise, more like pure Flaming Creatures.
However, part of the flames surrounding their bodies included Purifying Holy Flame and Black Flame... whether Lu Ping’an entrusted power to them or they became a part of the power themselves, was a reality quite difficult to distinguish.
With evolution, they became more and more like a phenomenon, their body structure began to evolve... towards the material form of the Flame Centaur’s Little Fire.
Actually, this is quite normal; the material body becomes less important to them, and when faced with a perfect Elemental Template, they naturally evolve in that direction.
Elf ears, handsome features, and colorful horse bodies suited their high-speed flaming forms.
At the same time, they also began to don various javelin weapons, long-handled weapons... the users of the Wave-Cutting Axe naturally completed a new round of equipping.
Simultaneously, the library also acquired a large amount of special biological data from Phoenix City World... given enough points, they could exchange battle limbs just like the Phoenix Ape Clan.
But their original form was still very close to Little Fire... accurately speaking, Little Fire somehow became the King of Phoenix Fire, gaining a bunch of little brothers and sisters, happily running around every day.
When these beautiful "Flame Centaurs" appeared in the courtyard on patrol, Lu Ping’an inexplicably felt that this place was becoming more and more "Forest Land."
Vaguely, with the Crystal Pillar piercing the sky, cycles of Energy and the earth’s veins began to form within the courtyard, making it more and more akin to a real world... Lu Ping’an found supressing his level to be increasingly strenuous.
While other eighth-tiers were to use their life’s learning to construct their "World," Lu Ping’an was to suppress his world from "forming," which were fundamentally different in difficulty.
Perhaps, sensing Lu Ping’an’s resistance, the "most favored nation" treatment would eventually leave him.

And at this time, the evolution of the two clans almost came to a halt, with the Phoenix Ape People beginning a new round of racial ascendance, and the thoroughly flame-transformed Phoenix Fire becoming increasingly ill-adapted to the too turbulent Phoenix City World...
"Official orders have arrived."
Naturally, the frontline battlefield report and orders came together.
"Volunteer to fight?"
"In theory, yes... but in Your Excellency’s case, we still hope to see someone with your experience at the frontline."
Official personnel smiled as they delivered the battlefield data; Lu Ping’an briefly reviewed it and knew he had to go.
"Lin Nu’s Church has already deployed defenses on the frontline? They’ve already withdrawn in part? They’re too proactive, aren’t they?"
"...Twenty days ago, a Rule-level creature landed in Wailong State, resulting in the fall of three towns, with at least tens of thousands in population casualties."
