Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 137 Divine Evolution_1

"No way, isn’t the Vermilion Bird a Divine Beast?"

"It is a Divine Beast, but for how long has it been one? There’s a lot it doesn’t understand."

Seeing Qi Chen looking puzzled, Feng Yuan glanced at the forest around them, still drizzling with rain, and said,

"Although Divine Beasts are essentially immortal in some sense, they are still emotional creatures. Some Divine Beasts, believing their time has come, pass on their divine power to their offspring, who then take the place of their deceased predecessors."

"The reason Divine Beasts cannot evolve to reach their state is precisely because of the divine power. Only those with divine power can be called Divine Beasts."

Feng Yuan warned the eavesdropping crowd with a glance,

"Of course, don’t even think about stealing the divine power through weird means. Not to mention whether you can defeat a Divine Beast or if you might be ganged up on by them, but the use of divine power must be approved by the Divine Beast, which cuts off any wild fantasies."

"So, the Vermilion Bird is a newly born Divine Beast?"

Qi Chen looked surprised at the majestic Vermilion Bird releasing flames to attack the fire snakes, while Feng Yuan speechlessly observed its actions and said,

"Obviously, to confront something with high fire resistance and not use physical attacks like fierce grasps and other Offensive Ultimate Moves is just..."

Feng Yuan shook his head and observed Captain Yang. Captain Yang seemed to have noticed this situation; Bai Mao swung its Greatsword to attack the fire snakes, but given their small size and agility, Bai Mao had a hard time hitting them. The small wolf also gave up its own fire-type Ultimate Moves and shifted to biting the snakes instead.

"What’s that carp? It looks so pretty~"

Qi Xiaoshuang, who had no Spirit Beast and could only stick close to the White Wolf Deity, said curiously after noticing the golden carp spewing Torrent to assault the fire snakes. Dou Yanlan glanced over placidly and said,

"Golden Spirit Carp, a special evolution Spirit Beast."

Feng Yuan saw Cotton staring intently at the Golden Spirit Carp from Dou Yanlan’s arms and said with a mischievous smile,

"You better watch your Cotton, don’t let it get taken out by the Golden Spirit Carp~"

"MI~AO~AO!"

Seeing Cotton bristle at him, Feng Yuan said innocently,

"What I said is a fact~ You just can’t beat it~"

Xiao Ji, following beside Feng Yuan, looked puzzled and tried to get Feng Yuan’s attention by chirping a few times. Hearing Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan confusedly turned his head and asked,

"What’s the matter?"

Xiao Ji pointed towards the Golden Spirit Carp with its little wings and gestured. Gladys said with a bit of amusement,

"It seems to be asking you who is stronger, it or the Golden Spirit Carp."

"Huh?"

"Are you feeling inexplicably inflated again?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat speechless, crouched down and poked Xiao Ji’s belly with his finger. Xiao Ji stared at him discontentedly. Qi Xiaoshuang said with confusion,

"I remember Golden Spirit Carp is just a Good Level potential Spirit Beast, right? Why would he bring such a weak Spirit Beast on a mission? It seems harmful to both him and the Spirit Beast."

"What? Is your only pursuit of Spirit Beasts their strength?"

"No, of course not! I just find it a bit strange. Given his status, he wouldn’t bring a Good Level Spirit Beast on a mission, would he? It’s not good for either him or the Spirit Beast."

Qi Xiaoshuang said somewhat dissatisfied to Feng Yuan, who then fiddled with Xiao Ji’s tuft of hair and explained,

"Besides Good Level, there’s also a higher potential tier for Spirit Beasts. That Golden Spirit Carp might actually be of Rare Level potential, the Hebo Jinling Carp."

"Hebo Jinling Carp? What kind of strange name is that?"

"Divine position evolution?"

Dou Yanlan looked at the Golden Spirit Carp with a sense of realization, its glittering scales making it appear immensely noble against the backdrop of the water that enveloped it. Qi Xiaoshuang said, puzzled,

"What is divine position evolution?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen. Qi Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Qi Xiaoshuang, who then turned her gaze towards him. Yang Hongzhi recalled for a moment and said,

"Divine position evolution is a very special way of evolving. It is said to have been discovered in the late Dynasty Era. Some Spirit Beasts can evolve by being granted a divine position by a Dynasty. The appearance of a beast undergoing divine position evolution hardly changes, somewhat similar to transcendental evolution."

Hearing Yang Hongzhi’s explanation, Qi Xiaoshuang said in surprise,

"Eh! Doesn’t that mean strong individuals could be mass-produced?"

"It’s not that simple. After divine position evolution, a beast can only exert its full strength within the territory of its divine position. Outside that area, its strength will drop by one level. Moreover, evolution isn’t guaranteed just by being granted a divine position. The beast must fill a portion of its potential, much like transcendental evolution."

"Although it is somewhat easier than transcendental evolution, it’s not something just anyone can achieve. After all, the number of divine positions is fixed. It’s unclear how the initial divine positions came to be, but the number of beings that can undergo divine position evolution has been consistent with the original number of positions. I’m not sure exactly how many there are, but even the most numerous Rare Level divine positions are only about as common as the original Hebo. I suppose there are barely over a hundred. After that, the number of Legendary Level positions plummets. Those divine positions are called River Gods. You should understand, there are probably just roughly over fifty of those, and beyond those, the Legendary Level Water Mansion Lords are even fewer. Throughout Great Xia, there are probably only about a dozen or so Water Mansion Lords, and certainly fewer than twenty."

"That’s how it is with the Water Deity line. The Earth Deity, Wind Deity, and Fire Deity lineages are similar. With that in mind, did you still want to mass-produce strong individuals?"

"Once a divine position is acquired, unless one’s potential is fulfilled, losing the divine position will cause one’s strength to drop to match their potential."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen said with understanding,

"Even so, it’s still easier than ordinary people becoming stronger, isn’t it? No wonder there aren’t any major wars between national powers nowadays."

"That has nothing to do with divine position evolution. Don’t forget the Sacred Beasts, which are the strongest below the Divine Beasts. Moreover, which country that has founded a dynasty doesn’t have a Divine Beast residing within its borders? Those small countries without Divine Beasts are still fighting from time to time, aren’t they?"

"Uh... that too..."

Qi Chen spoke with some helplessness, while Qi Xiaoshuang covered her mouth and giggled,

"My brother just loves to blindly analyze things he’s not good at~"

"That’s not true! I was just confused for a moment!"

Seeing Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang argue again, Feng Yuan looked at the continuously appearing fire snakes with some confusion and asked the girl,

"Is there a nest of snakes nearby? Why are there so many fire snakes?"

The girl hesitated and replied,

"I’m not sure, I don’t usually come here..."

"What a hassle."

Although Captain Yang and the others were continuously clearing out the fire snakes, the snakes were appearing too quickly. Despite the conversation lasting so long, they had hardly moved forward. Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity and said to Big Cat,

"Hold me up in a bit, okay?"

"Woof?!"

Big Cat looked at its wings, puzzled. Qi Chen, somewhat speechlessly, handed Ah Mu over to Qi Xiaoshuang, saying,

"You hold Ah Mu; I’ll support him."

Feng Yuan took a deep breath and slowly raised the Greatsword. A cold chill began to emanate from it, and after a while, a layer of ice formed on the blade. Feng Yuan crouched down, then leapt up and disappeared into the air, reappearing behind all the fire snakes the next second. As everyone looked on in amazement, all the Feng Yuans swiftly descended and plunged their swords fiercely into the ground.

A wave of cold air spread out from each Greatsword, quickly covering the surrounding area. As he pulled out the Greatsword, all the Feng Yuans vanished. The next moment, Feng Yuan reappeared from the spot where he had disappeared and landed on the ground. Seeing Feng Yuan almost collapse upon landing, Qi Chen quickly supported him, and as he casually stabbed the Greatsword into the ground, Feng Yuan leaned on Qi Chen and revealed a tired smile, saying, freёnovelkiss.com

"Done~"
