"What? Are you crazy?"
Ulysses widened his eyes, his erald eyes full of confusion and concern.
"I said your power has increased too fast, you’re bound to run into problems. Your mind’s all muddled. You’d better find a place to rest..."
"Stop, stop."
Richard raised a hand, signaling Ulysses not to stop.
"You say my mind is muddled, then let ask you, what do you think defines a new race?"
"Definition?"
Richard’s question left Ulysses montarily stunned.
How should he define a new race?
Bloodline change?
Not to ntion Wizards, the Gods Civilization also has many secret arts for rging the bloodlines of other races.
In this world, integrating bloodlines is quite common. It’s not rare for those with powerful bloodlines to interbreed with other races either.
If we define a new race solely by changes in bloodline, then new races would be overly generalized.
Even if we add a condition of stable inheritance, with offspring having stable traits,
It would still just filter out a few; among the remaining examples, new races would still be plentiful.
But if we don’t use the most distinct bloodline as the standard, then what should be used as the standard for a new race?
Changes in energy? Changes in habits? Or perhaps a complete bloodline change?
"You see, you can’t say either."
Richard revealed a slight smile of triumph, his eyes suddenly becoming piercing.
"In this world, bloodlines can mix. Without reproductive isolation as a boundary, the definition of new races becos unclear.
But when I saw those Subhuman Wizards, I had a thought.
Perhaps the definition of a new race is not just bloodline changes; it is more importantly recognized by the world!"
"Recognized by the world?"
Ulysses was slightly taken aback; he didn’t quite understand this explanation.
"Let give you an analogy," Richard explained, "You can think of the world as a library, where there’s a section for races, specifically containing materials about races, and each race has its own dedicated book.
And those mixed-blood creatures, if they can stably inherit and reach a certain number, will form a subspecies.
Subspecies aren’t considered completely new races, but are a branch evolution of the race with the highest bloodline percentage within them.
They’re akin to a booklet extra in a book series, still belonging to that one series.
But these Subhuman Wizards are different, they tricked the world with genetic diseases to gain recognition from the world.
But when they beca First Level creatures, the sudden change in their bloodline attracted the world’s attention.
The world noticed their bloodline changes, and upon checking its races section, discovered their primary bloodline wasn’t there, yet this creature still had its seal."
At this point, Ulysses’ eyes were already wide open.
"So the world thought it must be a newly born species and added a book for it in the races section. This... this... this..."
Ulysses was so shocked he couldn’t speak for a while. If this could be done, wouldn’t the human species be able to fight locally in all worlds?
Just repeat this in all worlds, and have pure-blood Wizards go over and leave a mark during wars; then Wizards could fight locally in all worlds.
But Richard seed to see through Ulysses’ thoughts, and silently shook his head.
"There can only be one world seal; dual citizenship is impossible.
However, this is still a huge discovery.
With this trait, we can have so Wizards fight locally, and add support from World Guardians."
In the Wizard-dominated world, things like World Guardians don’t exist. Apart from specific ranch worlds or slave worlds, all Level 3 creatures in the remaining worlds would be made into slaves.
And the world wouldn’t let a slave from an Otherworld beco a World Guardian.
As long as Wizards use this thod to cultivate a batch of Subhuman Wizards, then train them to Level 3, the World Origin will definitely infuse them to promote them to World Guardians.
Then, Wizards could even mass-produce Great Wizards.
This Galaxy Mayfly would be left with nothing to fight.
But soon, Ulysses seed to think of sothing, suddenly speaking stiffly: "Richard, is this technique difficult?"
"Difficult?" Richard knitted his brows, "From a technical standpoint, it’s not very difficult. If we know this trait, then..."
Richard suddenly stopped, at that mont he understood Ulysses’ aning.
"You an, the Galaxy Mayfly?" Richard frowned tightly.
If this technical point isn’t hard, then once discovered by the Galaxy Mayfly, it would surely cause the Wizards’ front lines to collapse.
The Galaxy Mayfly’s territory is much larger than the Wizards’.
"What do you think about the depth of racial research for a race like the Galaxy Mayfly that has multiple subspecies?" Ulysses’ voice was low, as if fearing the Galaxy Mayfly, who might be listening from untold light years away.
"If this chanism is as simple as you say, then the existence of World Guardians can never be exposed."
"...Indeed." Richard replied sowhat sullenly.
Technology is sotis like this, sotis when it’s too simple, it’s actually not a good thing.
"But this is just a guess of mine. We need to conduct more experints to see the actual situation. Have Lan work on the Subhuman Wizards regarding Goblins to verify this guess."
"No problem."
After seeing the Subhuman Wizards, Richard also went to the Dao College and the Floating City Research Institute.
Although Wizard Technology far surpasses those two institutes, surpassing them doesn’t an Richard can comprehend everything.
The knowledge output from the two institutes still greatly helps Richard in broadening his knowledge.
After this, he engaged in demonstrations, military parades, and various awards. These scattered activities cost him nearly two months.
But all of this was worth it.
Miracles are a major consur of the Power of Faith. Without these scattered affairs, he wouldn’t have an abundant Power of Faith.
After wrapping up a round of activities, before Richard could take a break, the voice of the World Mushroom rang in his ears.
"My Master, that little one has completed its evolution."
...
In the Secret Realm, Richard looked at Eldritch’s new form with an expression that was almost amusingly pained.
"Is this your new state after evolution?"
In front of him, Eldritch was no longer in its original black smoke form. Its body composition had changed, transforming from tiny individual units into smaller... Galaxy Mayflies.
Yes, that’s right, Galaxy Mayflies.
It seems that because it consud the body of a Galaxy Mayfly, Eldritch’s new form looks like a battle swarm of Galaxy Mayflies.
Richard rubbed his hands, suppressing his battle desire.
There was no choice, Eldritch’s evolved form, almost similar to Galaxy Mayflies, was really begging for a fight.
"Yes, my Master," Eldritch replied cautiously.
At this mont, he could feel Richard’s overwhelming battle spirit towards him but didn’t know why.
"What about your original black smoke form? Can you switch back? This form... makes particularly want to hit you."
"... No problem, I’ll switch now."
After changing forms, Eldritch transford into a solid black Earth Goblin and landed in front of Richard.
After changing forms, Richard imdiately found Eldritch much more pleasing to the eye.
He pulled out a notebook and, with a smile at Eldritch, said, "Tell about your new form and the experience of evolution. You’re the first World Lord Level Gestalt Creature I’ve seen, your experience is very valuable."
"Yes, my Master."
Listening to Eldritch, Richard gained a preliminary understanding of his new form.
His original smallest units still exist, but after becoming a World Master, these small units remain the basic building blocks.
However, unlike before, between these basic units and Eldritch as the final unit, there is now an interdiate level.
This interdiate level is what Richard saw just now, which are the Galaxy Mayflies.
"So, essentially, you have an interdiate form that increases the number you can control. Am I right?"
"You could say that."
Upon hearing this, Richard felt the world is full of wonders, with different creatures having different evolutionary paths.
Regular creatures need tamorphosis for evolution, the World Tree’s evolutionary requirent is land, the larger the land, the stronger the World Tree becos.
And now, Eldritch brought a new evolutionary path—a micro Gestalt Creature that can increase controllable population numbers by adding an interdiate state, thereby enhancing its strength.
He couldn’t help but wonder what other strange and wonderful evolutionary thods he’d encounter in the future.
"Not bad, your experience is very important, perhaps your brother can evolve like you as well."
"My brother? You didn’t forget Wuxiang after all."
Eldritch, in the most sincere tone, uttered the most sarcastic words. Faced with this, Richard was montarily at a loss for how to respond.
With a slightly awkward cough, Richard awkwardly replied, "Ahem, it’s not that I forgot him. It’s his strength that’s too weak, he’ll just die if he goes onto the battlefield. But with your successful evolution, his evolution shouldn’t be far off.
I believe it won’t be long before you can fight side by side on the battlefield."
"I will help him, my Master."
...
Eldritch’s completion of evolution interrupted Richard’s plans once again.
He spent a month conducting a comprehensive test on Eldritch, and the results shocked him imnsely.
The current smallest units of Eldritch have about ten tis the previous devouring ability. In addition, individual defensive capability has improved in quality compared to before.
When transford into an insect swarm, it not only possesses the individual’s ability to devour everything but can also simulate the capabilities of Galaxy Mayflies.
In other words, Eldritch now has the capacity for long-range attacks.
Moreover, testing revealed Eldritch can simulate not only the Galaxy Mayflies, but any creature he has devoured.
This feature sparked an idea in Richard’s mind.
"If I used a miracle to create a body for Eldritch to devour, could he also simulate my body?"
