Vol 5 Chapter 38: Child of Fortune

"Lewd Sacrifices, let's follow the sect master's plan. I'll provide the soil, you provide the mountain - let's give this a try!"

To Lin Jing's surprise, Lady Nethersoil was actually the first to show interest in trying this.

It wasn't unreasonable for Lady Nethersoil to be tempted. Due to maintaining good cooperative relationships with various factions, she needed the most manpower.

If the spirits she personally enlightened could shoulder responsibilities, she wouldn't need to capture humans with Nether Physiques!

From another perspective, the Nethersoil Generals she personally enlightened couldn't even compare to the innate potential of humans with Nether Physiques.

Given the choice, who would bother capturing humans and nurturing outsiders when they could use their own people?

"You're really going along with this?" The Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices was startled.

"This sect master doesn't seem completely useless. Even if the plan to leave the Origin Realm fails, if he can help me produce descendants comparable to immortal physiques, I'll acknowledge him as sect master." Lady Nethersoil licked her lips.

"Sect Master, I have strong foundations. I wonder if I can produce several offspring?" a spirit immediately asked.

"I was originally worried - if we really can leave the Origin Realm someday, what would happen to my territory and foundations? My useless subordinates couldn't protect them. But now there's a solution. If we can produce a talented descendant, we can entrust it to them," another spirit thought.

"Sect Master, can only spirits reproduce among themselves? If I obtain blood from Li Tianyi with his Chaotic Immortal Physique or the Sacred Son of Demons, could I produce descendants combining their bloodlines?"

The spirits' attention had completely shifted to reproduction, finding the concept novel. Several spirits who had taken a liking to each other had already decided to cooperate and produce two or three offspring together.

Lin Jing forced a smile. He wanted different spirit species to crossbreed, not for them to set their sights on humans.

Whether enlightened beings could synthesize with bloodlines was something neither Lin Jing nor the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse had tested.

"Combining different bloodlines requires massive energy consumption, so we definitely can't meet everyone's demands immediately..."

"But there's plenty of time. For the next Origin Source in five years, our Heaven-Earth Sect still won't compete. I myself don't plan to compete either. Our target is the premium Origin Source fifteen years from now."

"These fifteen years, I'll remain with Lady Nethersoil. During this period, I'll distribute reproduction opportunities based on your strength. The stronger you are, the more offspring you can produce."

"When it comes to reproduction, we'd rather have quality than quantity. We need eugenics, controlled reproduction, planned births. Let the strongest reproduce first to ensure every effort yields maximum results."

"These fifteen years, everyone should focus on improving strength - not just to earn more reproduction rights, but mainly because the battle for the premium Origin Source in fifteen years will be crucial."

"At that time, for the premium Origin Source, Sheng Kun, Li Tianyi, the two great Spirit Beasts, and many reclusive old monsters will likely join the competition. That will also be our carnival - not just for the Origin Source, but for 'superior bloodlines'!"

"In such battles, even the two great Spirit Beasts will inevitably get injured. If you can seize a meteor fragment or ocean crystal then, producing descendants inheriting their talents wouldn't be impossible. That's an opportunity - combined with your own bloodlines, you might produce offspring surpassing both Spirit Beasts in talent!"

"Even if obtaining the Spirit Beasts' bloodlines proves difficult, the quantity and quality of spirits under their command far surpass our Heaven-Earth Sect's, making them worth coveting."

Hearing this, the spirits exchanged glances. Though they understood Lin Jing aimed to strengthen the Heaven-Earth Sect by acquiring talented spirit members this way, the temptation of producing superior offspring remained immense.

In later generations, even certain humans would seek partners with higher education, intelligence, height, or fair skin to produce slightly better descendants. Now these spirits realized the other half of their offspring's genes could be obtained through plunder, making them quite excited.

Originally these lone spirit warriors had little interest in competing for Origin Sources - otherwise they would have joined the two great Spirit Beasts' factions long ago. But now they discovered the Origin Source competition was actually the perfect stage to plunder superior bloodlines.

Many spirits suddenly lost their resistance to helping the sect master compete for Origin Sources.

"So this is the so-called bigger, better carrot," the Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices realized. After hearing this, even it wanted to join the Origin Source battlefield to covet some of the Sea Spirit Beast's bloodline.

Previously when the sect master produced many enlightened spirits within it, the Mountain God found them annoying because aside from causing trouble, they were useless.

But for descendants inheriting talents from the Sea Spirit Beast or Meteor Spirit Beast? The Mountain God wouldn't mind at all.

"In the coming period, everyone can prepare your own life essences."

"The first phase of the Heaven-Earth Sect meeting concludes here. I need... to enter seclusion for a while. The second meeting will be announced later."

Lin Jing waved his sleeve and turned to leave, letting the spirits freely form groups. His immediate objectives were already half accomplished.

"Farewell, Sect Master!!!"

After Lin Jing demonstrated his unique abilities and the possibility of leaving the Origin Realm, spirits who initially resisted being led by a human now set aside some prejudices, realizing the Heaven-Earth Sect could genuinely benefit them now.

Feng Ning glanced at the massive spirit group before following Lin Jing... The premium Origin Source competition in fifteen years? It seemed Lin Jing planned to use these spirits to snatch food from the tiger's mouth then.

"If before, the Heaven-Earth Sect's spirits didn't completely acknowledge me as sect master, now their respect for me has undoubtedly increased significantly."

"Now I represent the hope for spirits to leave the Origin Realm and produce more talented descendants. Spirits are nature's darlings, born of heaven and earth, part of the Origin Realm. Bound together with them, I can feel the Origin Realm's fortune rapidly gathering toward me - this fortune is unimaginably vast, far surpassing what the top rank on the Golden Ranking during the Golden Age could compare to..."

Lin Jing gasped in pleasant surprise, quickly activating his immortal physique technique to use this fortune energy to strengthen his current Longevity Physique.
