Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Inventory and Statistics

This is the attribute table for the newly born Supreme Naga, and as anticipated, it has indeed ascended to the rank of Advanced Organisms. Therefore, it has been named Supreme Naga to distinguish it from the past.

This attribute table does not include the All-Around Knight profession, representing only the most basic Supreme Naga attributes. However, even just the most basic Supreme Naga already compares to a Level 3 military unit. If it were to ascend to the role of a Naga warrior, it would easily be considered an elite Level 4 unit.

Lin Xiao pinched the ancient godly card gleaming with intense crystalline light, kissed it lightly at the lips, and then gently tossed it. The card shattered into a myriad of sparkling lights that exploded and directly merged into the Divine Realm.

In the next second, as the Nagas gathered around the tribal altar offering prayers suddenly trembled violently, a faint blood light burst forth from their bodies. Their muscles rapidly swelled, scales flew off inch by inch, skin cracked, and blood flowed from the ruptures, staining their entire bodies like blood figures.

This was due to the stripping away of other species’ bloodlines within the Naga’s body; when the new card merged with the Divine Realm, it naturally began to transform the existing Nagas by severing their superfluous bloodlines. It seemed agonizingly terrifying, but in reality…

It truly was very painful – resembling a crude method of skinning, cutting flesh, and drawing blood, causing extreme agony.

For this reason, Lin Xiao personally took action, using one hundred thousand Faith Value to cast the Divine Art ‘Seawater Essence.’ Avast azure glow descended from the sky, enveloping most of the tribe as well as the Fishmen around them, to alleviate their pain.

By this time, Lin Xiao had accumulated four points of Divinity, and his strength was much stronger than before. Now, the effects of casting Seawater Essence with one hundred thousand Faith Value were several times more potent than initially when he had only one point of Divinity.

If he were to face the Snake People Demigod now, when he initially had only one point of Divinity, he needed to expend tens of millions of Faith Value to conjure a golden lance just to harm the Snake People Demigod; nowadays, he would only require three to four million Faith Value to deal the same damage as the original ten million Faith Value did.

The stronger the Divinity, the more formidable the strength, and there is also a world of difference in the efficiency of utilizing power.

Therefore, for Divine Beings who have not yet achieved Godhood, Divinity is fundamental and serves as the core of strength. When one becomes a Demigod, both Divinity and Godhood become the core sources of strength, and after Divine Enthronement, the fundamental core is Divinity and Godhood.

As time passed, layers of fresh blood flowed out from the bodies of the Nagas, yet their life force did not wane; on the contrary, one could feel a powerful Vitality gushing out from within them. Their aura grew stronger and soon exceeded their previous state.

Simultaneously, at the moment their aura surpassed what it had been, the physical form of the Nagas also began to change.

Or rather, to evolve.

The appearance of the evolving Supreme Nagas had not changed much from before; they still had a humanoid upper body with a serpent tail and were covered in scales. However, having eliminated the Snake people, Goblin, and Hyenaman bloodlines and retaining only the pure Fishman, their bodies became sturdier and their muscles more developed compared to before.

As the evolution neared its end and layers of new thick scales were about to take shape, the Supreme Nagas, even without having advanced, had a basic height of two and a half meters, with a tail approximately three meters long, resulting in an overall length close to five and a half meters.

This was just for Nagas that had just reached adulthood, categorized as Level 3 units.

If they were to advance to a Supreme Naga warrior, they would be a Level 4 unit with a height of about two meters and eighty centimeters and a tail exceeding three and a half meters, making their total length six meters.

Further advancing to a Fifth Level Supreme Naga Braveheart would result in a height of over three meters, a tail length of four meters, with a total length of more than seven meters.

Generally, the regular advancement limit for middle-tier species is Fifth Level; the Supreme Naga is now a high-tier species and naturally can advance again, surpassing Level 5 to become a Rank 6 Transcendent organism, named the Whale Hunter Knight.

Upon advancing to a Rank 6 Whale Hunter Knight, their size can instantly exceed twelve meters, and they awaken Superhuman Power.

The newly born Supreme Nagas possess a lifespan slightly less than that of humans, with a theoretical life expectancy of eighty years. Before reaching Rank 6, each rank advancement adds twenty years to their lifespan; once they advance to Rank 6 transcendent beings, their life expectancy instantly reaches two hundred years.

Their pregnancy period is eight months, with infancy lasting two years, childhood three years, and approximately five years for adolescence; by the tenth year, they are considered adult.

The time it takes for them to reach adulthood is much shorter than humans, but correspondingly, their reproductive capacity is not only far from matching humans but also much lower than it was before evolution.

As the creator of the Supreme Nagas, Lin Xiao was acutely aware that their reproductive ability was quite low.

Let’s put it this way: if a thousand Black Scale Nagas could give birth to two hundred newborns in a year, then a thousand Supreme Nagas now would not produce a hundred newborns per year. This reduction is not merely by half – when projected over several generations, the decrease is calculated in geometric multiples.

Thankfully, the Divine Realm, after loading the Divine Domain Heaven Card, gained a certain increase in reproduction speed, slightly compensating for the low reproduction rate deficit.

Moreover, he also possessed the reproductive aspect of Superhuman Divine Power. With diligence in using this Transcendent Power for procreation, he believed their reproduction speed wouldn’t be too slow.

Upon completing their transformation, the strength of the nearly one thousand Supreme Nagas increased several-fold compared to before. Previously, two- thirds of the Supreme Nagas had already leveled up; although not everyone had jumped based on their original status this time, at least they didn’t start from scratch. Those who had previously leveled up were now mostly at Level 4 or 5, with none at Level 6 yet.

The one undergoing the most significant change was naturally the Epic Hero Slarda – he….

Was still evolving, enveloped in a massive blood sphere, not yet emerged.

But as the Divine Realm Master, Lin Xiao was well aware that Slarda’s strength was rapidly growing, having already crossed a certain threshold, leaping towards the Transcendent Level of Rank 6.

What is Transcendent?

Literally, it means to transcend the mundane.

To put it in layman’s terms, take for example the Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers that Lin Xiao has encountered; they are faux-transcendents.

The reason they are called faux-transcendents is that, while the talent spell of the Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers has reached the transcendent level, they themselves have not.

The reason Kobolds are powerful is that they have awakened the dragon bloodline within their bodies. All the spells they possess are granted by the bloodline, and whatever strength they awaken to is generally what they have for life.

Dragon Vein Sorcerers’ spells are undoubtedly very powerful, but their own physical bodies are not strong. The crux is that even when enhanced by the dragon bloodline, Kobolds’ fundamental strength still has its limits, thereby creating this kind of faux-transcendent with transcendent-level spells but without a strong physique. The spells they have are also random, and faced with a true transcendent being in close combat, they are almost certainly doomed.

True transcendent beings can withstand the horrific spells of Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers head-on, but Kobolds simply cannot withstand the attacks of true transcendent beings.

Therefore, as Lin Xiao realized after seeing Wu Zhonglin’s formation of Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers, if he had ten times the cannon fodder to hold off the initial onslaught and make it to the front of their formation, he might have had a chance to defeat them.

Ten times the cannon fodder currently wouldn’t stand a chance against Wu Zhonglin, but strengthening his own Clan could possibly do it, and it has now been realized.

Gathering a large battalion of Rank 6 Supreme Naga Whale Hunters is not out of the question to contend with Wu Zhonglin.

Yes, it’s possible, theoretically possible.

In reality, even with one thousand Rank 6 Supreme Naga Whale Hunters, there is no guarantee of victory against him. After all, he has a formation of Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers that can unleash spells covering several kilometers with no blind spots. It’s uncertain if the Whale Hunters could even get through.

Even if the Kobold Dragon Vein Sorcerers are weak, the power of their spells is truly at a transcendent level, completely unabated. Just a few waves of bombardment could take down even the Whale Hunters of the same transcendent rank.

Besides, there’s another problem: it isn’t easy to elevate Supreme Naga Whale Hunters to Rank 6. The transcendent rank undoubtedly requires countless fierce life-and-death battles to advance, and he has no idea when he’ll gather a thousand Rank 6 Supreme Naga.

“Or maybe, bring this into play?”

In his hand is a five-star, Mythical Quality card, the Bloody Gladiator Arena, which can summon a bloody gladiator arena within the Divine Realm, allowing the Clan to fight inside and gain combat and professional experience.

It allows the Clan to enter and fight when there are no battles, boosting their combat and professional experience, so they don’t stagnate when there’s nothing to do and can increase their strength within the Divine Realm.

He currently has an extra card slot available.

After considering for a bit, Lin Xiao decides to go with this plan, especially since Slarda is still undergoing transformation.

He tosses the card into the Creation Rubik’s Cube, thinks for a moment, and consumes a unit of Creation Energy. Now he only has two units left of the thirty-four units of Creation Energy obtained from dismantling the Scales of Judgement of Fate, all spent.

But this expenditure is worthwhile, very worthwhile. In Lin Xiao’s opinion, these thirty-four units of Creation Energy have completely transformed the entire Divine Realm from head to toe.

His Divine Realm has evolved from initially having great potential to now not only infinite potential but also a significant increase in actual strength.

Minutes later, the Bloody Gladiator Arena, after absorbing a bit of Creation Energy and being strengthened, breaks through the Golden Mythical Quality and transforms into an Ancient Godly Card shimmering with crystal light.

Five-Star Construction Card—Ancient Arena (Ancient): Summons an ancient arena within the Divine Realm.

Effect One: Arena. The Ancient Arena can provide varying scales of gladiatorial combat, up to 1000VS1000. Defeating enemies in the arena grants a large amount of combat and professional experience.

Effect Two: The Power of the Ancients. The Ancient Arena contains the power of the ancients, which can more easily stimulate the hidden power within organisms, with a very small chance to break through species limits or ascend to Hero status.

Note: Activating the Ancient Arena once consumes one million Faith Points.

This Ancient Godly Card only has two effects, but the second effect makes Lin Xiao’s eyes light up.

If Effect One is just a large standard arena, Effect Two immediately skyrockets the card’s value by potentially hundreds of times over.

This thing can actually help combatants break their limits!

That is quite terrifying.

Even if the chances are small, it’s still a chance. If not in ten tries, then a hundred; if not in a hundred, then a thousand; as long as there’s a possibility and one tries enough times, even the smallest probability becomes a certainty.

As for the one-million Faith Points needed to activate the arena, he’s not concerned about that. It may seem expensive now, but as the Clan grows, this cost will be completely negligible.
