"Magic potions are fundamentally a correction for inherent deficiencies."
"For the Life system, talent is important, but not that important... There are too many ways to make up for a lack of talent. So-called talent might just be a variable."
"We can even change species; there’s no need to overly dwell on a lack of inherent abilities."
At this point, Hua Xueyi privately approached Lu Ping’an, requesting a change to avoid wasting resources, nearly making Lu Ping’an laugh in exasperation.
In his eyes, without mentioning other things, just the moral standard of ’struggling for one’s hometown for half a lifetime’ is something most people can’t achieve in their lifetime.
Does he lack geniuses here? No, he only lacks trustworthy talents.
Even though it’s tough, this enduring spirit of gritting teeth all the way, and the courage to face any battlefield without fear, having served as both a sentinel and a vanguard, is what Lu Ping’an values most.
"Or are you worried about losing your human flesh?"
Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head, and then Lu Ping’an transformed.
A faceless, eyeless metallic humanoid, a strange man from a cartoon wearing a uniform and a T-shaped head... Although he looked quite strange, Lu Ping’an understood.
"Using a human gene module as a standard, I’m probably the furthest from it in our faction, even Xue En, that big bear, at least has a flesh body."
She remained calm because she always thought it was a matter of course.
The pursuit of power cannot come without sacrifice... being able to maintain oneself and not turning into an irrational statue is already much better than the worst expected back then.
She just felt a bit bewildered, how did she, a ’mediocre person’, inadvertently become a so-called deity?
Lu Ping’an’s intention was clear, which was to find her a position in the new God Series.
In this immortal God Series, the highest deity is Lu Ping’an, followed by Chris, half a level lower.
The two naturally became the Divine King and Queen, in a sense, companion Twin Gods, with Lu Ping’an wielding ’peace and life’, and Chris ’war and death’.
Below them is Fei’er, who has successfully ascended to godhood... She bears both wills and authorities, serving more as an executor and agent. She is the Crown Prince, also the supervisor, essentially the Imperial Commissioner.
Here, it can be seen that Lu Ping’an is constructing his own nation, constructing his own world. He needs each demigod to support this complete "world".
As the God of Peace and Life, beneath him are naturally various representatives of ’life’... Meanwhile, they are also the army commanders under Chris, the Goddess of War and Death.
The first is humanity, with its king being Lu Ping’an himself, this can be set aside for now.
The second is beastmen/beasts, with Xue En striving to become the ’Beast(man) King’ and Lu Ping’an’s magic pets the ’Beast Kings’.
The third is tree-people/magic plants. There are several contenders in this area, with Lu Ping’an’s magic pets leading.
The fourth is (Flame) Elemental Creatures (Energy Creatures), with Little Flame already confirmed as the leader. However, Katherine also qualifies as a contender.
The fifth is metal/rock solid life forms, including mechanical life and metal life, with Fang Wen, Zhi Xi, and Hua Xueyi being the best candidates.
This is just the current situation; in Lu Ping’an’s blueprint, there are also ’insects’, ’t’
These are not merely army divisions or faction branches; they also represent theological branches in a religious sense. Together, they will constitute Lu Ping’an’s Pool of Life to complete his World’s Reason.
This is both unification and division, each contributing to the ’complete authority’.
By then, they will hold Divine Positions like ’Beastman God’, ’Mechanical Life God’, and these are not independent; they can simultaneously study Divine Positions like ’God of Calamity’ and ’Divine King’s Envoy’.
With multiple divine positions bestowed upon them, Lu Ping’an’s ’world’ empowers them, akin to the relationship between Earth and the Ten Thousand Gods, naturally growing stronger because of Lu Ping’an.
This is a complete binding of interests, yet also an opportunity for a meteoric rise, the once elusive divinity, divine positions, World’s Reason, consistently produced by Lu Ping’an through creating a world.
He is dividing himself; normally, this would be suicidal, but in this world, it can be replenished through various means, the most direct being having the army commanders/leaders of the life forms constantly hunt and evolve, filling themselves.
Initial investment, with stable returns later.
In fact, most foreign deities are doing this; it’s a crucial opportunity for them to evolve from single to multiple, from a singular divine position to a complex God Series.
Seeing Hua Xueyi still hesitant, Lu Ping’an sighed.
"I know you don’t believe in yourself... do you trust my judgment? Have I ever made a wrong decision?"
With much persuasion, Lu Ping’an finally made Hua Xueyi nod... both knew Hua Xueyi just needed a reason, a reason to transcend mortality in pursuit of immortality.
Once truly joined, withdrawal is impossible, in a sense, it’s a complete binding.
"Similar to an eternal marriage... Uh, marriage might not be eternal, but a God Series can probably only exit through death."
"No, I think it’s more like a father-daughter relationship, birthing her anew."
Convincing Hua Xueyi was a bit challenging, also due to those around jeering and making sarcastic comments.
But ultimately, the woman still entered the Hatching Pool.
Zhi Xi was already waiting.
She dismantled a part of herself and incorporated it.
Chris also walked over, cut her wrist, and poured in a large amount of blood.
As for Lu Ping’an? The newborn from the Hatching Pool naturally carried his gene module.
This might also compensate for the woman’s inherent deficiencies... The metalized flesh body had a good practical combat effect, and she completed several qualitative changes, but against a real god-level existence, she was like a rusty blade that couldn’t break defenses.
Her lack of confidence ultimately stemmed from insufficient power; she did reach a quasi-rule level combat power, but on the battlefield where Lu Ping’an’s group dwelled, this average power line was truly not enough.
She finally completely abandoned her original ’mortal iron’ flesh body.
Remodeling using Zhi Xi’s gene module was considered the most effective approach.
But in reality, this was just the beginning; the true evolution module required more samples, now merely unlocking the evolution key.
Becoming Lu Ping’an’s ’Magic Pet’ was not just for a higher starting point; the Magic Pet borrowing Lu Ping’an’s power constantly ’eating/copying’, evolving the Principle of Ten Thousand Spirit along the way, was their destined foundation to reach the top of the food chain.
"First create a prototype, then continuously add better samples."
Yet, watching the metallic humanoid in the Hatching Lake continuously melt, disintegrate, and fuse, Lu Ping’an inexplicably felt this seemed quite aligned with his ’Principle of Ten Thousand Spirit’.
"It seems there’s another chance to create a monster...."
