Lin Yun frowned as he looked at Max. A wheel shadow appeared in his eyes and slowly rotated. After a few seconds, Lin Yun shook his head in disappointment.
"It's still too bad, it's only a 5% fusion rate. You fused with the Crystal Monster's bloodline and being able to survive is already a blessing of fate." Being able to advance to the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm only shows one thing, your luck is very good. That Crystal Monster's bloodline has a very high grade bloodline and your compatibility with that bloodline can barely be considered good.
"Under normal circumstances, your current state would already be your limit and you wouldn't be able to become stronger. But your luck isn't bad. Find a Level 40 Earth Bear and use its heart's blood to purify the bloodline. If you fuse with twice the amount of your Crystal Monster's bloodline, your potential might increase a bit.
It would be best if you could find an Earth Bear that grasped Earth Breath … "
Lin Yun's words were like a bolt of lightning striking Max's soul. In an instant, Max seemed to understand a lot of problems.
Who said that only one kind of lifeform's bloodline could be transplanted?
If a lifeform's bloodline compatibility was too low, that compatibility couldn't be changed. Thus, another method could be used to change that compatibility. Two different lifeforms' bloodlines could be transplanted according to different ratios and different levels, but the power obtained might not necessarily be as powerful as before.
But it would definitely be more stable and the potential would also be more formidable. The biggest problem with transplanting a lifeform's bloodline wasn't that it wasn't powerful enough, but rather that the bloodline was unstable and the potential was too small or even non-existent.
Should he be forever stuck at the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm and not be able to become even a bit stronger and not be able to fight with all his strength, or should he slightly reduce his fighting strength and have the hope of becoming stronger and advancing?
As long as his brain wasn't damaged, he would know what to choose. Moreover, as long as his bloodline became stable, even if his fighting strength seemed to decrease, he would definitely be stronger than before in a real battle.
Max was so excited that his body was trembling. After thinking about it for a while, he understood. This direction seemed simple, but knowing how to match bloodlines, how to transplant the same creature, what level was most suitable for it, and what characteristics were most suitable for it, all of this was very complicated research.
Even if he was pointed in the right direction, without hundreds of years of research and hundreds of experiments that risked his life, it would be impossible to find the most suitable combination.
Lin Yun smiled. He suddenly felt that people like Max were rather pitiful and respectable. On the path of magic, people were constantly falling. Some used their blood and corpses to build a path forward, while others used their lives to point out the wrong direction for their descendants.
On the path of Noscent's mage civilization, there were countless failures and one success. That one success could lead them to the right path, and those countless failures were countless people whose names might not be recorded in history.
The Crown of Thorns was only a slightly more special pioneer adventurer organization. If it wasn't for those maniacs who were willing to pay any price for power, the Crown of Thorns' reputation in history would have been completely different.
After all, during the explosion of Noscent's Mage Civilization, all kinds of fantastic ideas were tested with a lot of blood and lives.
Max's soul was shaking from excitement, but it only took him two minutes to suppress his excitement and deeply bow to Lin Yun.
"Sir Merlin, I don't know how to thank you. Even a millennium wouldn't be enough to express my gratitude …"
Lin Yun waved his hand, interrupting Max's words.
"Alright, you don't need to thank me. You have been quite chaotic and suffered disastrous losses, but you still helped the Gilded Rose so much. Consider this potion as thanks.
As for following me, we can talk about it later. "
Hearing this, Max suddenly became anxious. Just a casual sentence gave the Crown of Thorns a new research direction, and it was a major direction that allowed them to take a step forward. With this direction, the Crown of Thorns could take another step, or even ten steps!
A random bottle of unknown potion had allowed the transplanted crystal demonic creature's bloodline to truly fuse with his bloodline. This was something that he had never dared to imagine before.
The reason why the transplanted bloodline was unstable and prone to backlash was because the transplanted bloodline itself was a borrowed power. It could barely be compared to a special Magic Tool, and it wasn't the mage's own power.
But now that it had truly fused with his bloodline, it would become the mage's own power, and that power could be passed down to the next generation!
Only the mage's own talent and power could be passed down. But no matter how powerful the transplanted bloodline was, the descendant would only be a mage with ordinary talent without any special abilities.
The meaning of this was completely different, or it could be said to be the difference between the two planes!
Seeing so many benefits and understanding Lin Yun more and more, the Crown of Thorns had already made up his mind. How could they give up?
"Sir Merlin …"
Max was sweating. He had thought that the matter had been settled, but he hadn't expected that there would be a change.
Lin Yun waved his hand.
"Let's talk about this later. Right now, there is something I need you to investigate. A God once reincarnated in Noscent. As for the specific location, I found some clues in the Starry Sky College. I can only confirm that the reincarnated God was in the central part of the Odin Kingdom. I'm not sure of the specifics, but the Starry Sky College can only confirm this.
"I want you to help me investigate this clue. If the God has already reincarnated, I hope to find out who and what race he reincarnated into. If he hasn't reincarnated yet, I hope to know where he is.
"This is the information I gathered, as well as some obvious characteristics that can be used as clues …"
Max took the information and was overjoyed. This matter sounded very difficult to investigate, and it involved a Godfiend, which made things even more difficult. It was also uncertain when he had reincarnated, only a rough year, and this rough year included a thousand years …
After looking at the information, Max had a general understanding of the difficulty of this investigation. But the more he understood, the happier he was, even if he wasn't sure.
They weren't afraid that Lin Yun would trouble them and send them to do whatever he wanted, the more troublesome it was, the better. They were afraid that Lin Yun wouldn't need them, this was the most troublesome part.
After calming down, Max pondered over the information he had just read.
"Sir Merlin, this matter happened a very long time ago, and if it hadn't been discovered at the time, it would have been very difficult to trace it now. If that God's soul had already reincarnated into another race, it would be even more difficult to find him.
"I don't dare to make any guarantees now, I can only come to a conclusion after investigating more clues. I'll report to you as soon as I have any information."
Lin Yun was very satisfied with Max's cautiousness. If Max had patted his chest and said that there was absolutely no problem, Lin Yun would have felt that he wasn't reliable.
The Crown of Thorns' intelligence network in the Odin Kingdom, their network of connections, and their hidden tentacles were very huge. Now that they had confirmed that it was in the center of the Odin Kingdom, they had shrunk their scope by more than half. With the manpower and network of the Crown of Thorns, they couldn't find any useful information, so Lin Yun could only give up on this matter for the time being and slowly investigate it.
After all, they had been investigating for such a long time, but there was still no definite information. The Odin Kingdom's continuous expansion of the Gilded Rose was also closely related to this matter.
After handing over the task of investigating the reincarnation of the 73rd God to Max, Lin Yun didn't care about this matter. Only a force like the Crown of Thorns that had been hiding in the dark and had extended their tentacles to a very large area of the Odin Kingdom could come into contact with a large number of clues and increase the efficiency of the investigation.
But this method of searching for a needle in a haystack definitely wouldn't yield any results in a short period of time. The most troublesome and time-consuming task was handed over to the Crown of Thorns while Lin Yun started investigating other simpler matters.
Looking for the Cave Goblins and the Red-Skinned Spirit Absorbing Monsters was a lot simpler, because they had already discovered the entrance to the underground world. Although the entrance had been destroyed, the general location of the entrance wouldn't change too much. The only difficult part was how to enter the underground world.
Noscent's underground world was completely different from the Monster Plane's. That place had been nurtured for countless years and was almost a subplane attached to Noscent's underground world. A large number of underground races lived there. It was chaotic and disorderly, completely different from the races on the surface.
But according to the original records, there were no Cave Goblins or Red-Skinned Spirit Absorbing Monsters in the underground world. It was unknown when they moved into the underground world, but when Noscent's mages entered the underground world on a large scale in the future, there were no more Cave Goblins or Red-Skinned Spirit Absorbing Monsters. After all, these two races weren't very powerful.
The simplest way to open the passage to the underground world was to use the blood of a kind of darkness magic beast. This kind of darkness magic beast would never be exposed to the sun since birth. Its rank wasn't high and it was a magic beast that lived in groups. The matter of hunting it was left to the Gilded Rose. Lin Yun only needed to wait for the results.
Researching truth runes, comprehending Laws, conducting alchemy experiments, crafting some of the Shelter Tower's main Components … There were a lot of things to do. Lin Yun wished he could split his soul in two.
He might be able to continue researching truth runes after his rank increased, but he really didn't have time now. Crafting some of the Shelter Tower's important Components could also wait. The crafting of the Reedpush Plate was almost complete. What he lacked the most now was the ability runes of those Heaven Puppets in the Puppet Plane.
The ability runes of Heaven Puppets weren't something that could be done in a day or two. They had to be slowly killed. If a large number of Heaven Puppets died during this time, it might attract the attention of the Puppet Monarch. At that time, it would be very difficult to hunt them again.
The research of puppets, as well as the general direction and some important basic theories, were taught to his subordinates. He didn't need to worry about it for the time being, but comprehending Laws was the first thing he had to do.
The Natural Demiplane's Darkness Law had already been successfully nurtured, but the Light Law was still evolving. Although he had already comprehended some of the Darkness Law, he had barely established the foundation of the Darkness Law. It would be very difficult to use the power of the Darkness Law.
After the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel evolved into an Extraordinary Magic Tool, it had been placed in the Natural Demiplane. It advanced along with the evolution of the Natural Demiplane's Laws, and with a large amount of mana, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's power rapidly increased.
Sitting at the peak of the Sky Pillar, he calmly comprehended the Darkness Law performed by the Natural Demiplane. The evolved Darkness Law was at most the main Darkness Law, but this level was already very amazing for an ordinary Heaven Mage. After the main Darkness Law evolved, the branch Laws of the Darkness Law also started evolving.
Next, he had to go to the underground world to look for Cave Goblins and Red-Skinned Spirit Absorbing Monsters. In that kind of place, a human Darkness Mage wouldn't be too eye-catching. With a casual disguise, it would be very difficult to tell that he was an outsider. This was very important.
After all, even if the races of the underground world fought with their lives on the line, the nature would be completely different if an outsider joined in.
No matter how Noscent fought, that was a matter of Noscent's races. If an outsider race, such as a Demon or Devil, appeared, the original enemies would have to unite and get rid of the invading race.
The comprehension of the Darkness Law was very smooth. The Natural Demiplane was already completely under Lin Yun's control, and it was almost like a single entity. Any Law evolved by the Natural Demiplane was directly displayed in front of Lin Yun, and he could even directly merge with the Laws to comprehend them. This method was terrifyingly efficient, a few hundred to a thousand times more efficient than comprehending Laws in Noscent, and that was when compared to those geniuses.
This was the greatest advantage of the Natural Demiplane. As long as the Natural Demiplane was developed well enough, after advancing to the Heaven Rank, this frightening advantage would continue until the Peak of the Heaven Rank.
An ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouse's Demiplane was only a place where they could comprehend Laws. Mages had to first comprehend some Laws before establishing their Demiplane.
And the advantage of the Natural Demiplane was that the Laws were evolved by the Natural Demiplane itself. Even if the mage didn't comprehend these Laws, the Natural Demiplane could evolve them on its own, and the mage could comprehend them. The difference was simply incalculable.
In history, powerhouses that obtained Natural Demiplanes would keep advancing in a very short period of time as long as they advanced to the Heaven Rank. The worst one only took a hundred and eighty years to reach the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm. The reason he only reached the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm was because that unlucky guy was killed by a powerful Magic Beast Monarch while exploring.
During that month, Lin Yun stayed in the Natural Demiplane to comprehend the Law of Darkness. As the foundation of the Law of Darkness was completely established, the Book of Death's Beginning Chapter could also be used. Later, when he released a darkness spell, the Beginning Chapter would strengthen the power of the darkness spell. Not only would the casting time of the darkness spell shorten, but the mana consumption would also decrease, and the might of the spell would also increase.
It wasn't like before, when he could only release the Curtain of Darkness from the Beginning Chapter. Now, the power of that Curtain of Darkness would be five times stronger than before.
The matter of comprehending the Law of Darkness came to an end, and the research of the truth runes continued.
And outside, the Gilded Rose's development showed explosive growth after the appearance of the Blue Magic Potion. This time, it wasn't that the number of branches increased. In fact, the number of branches only increased by six. The real growth came from the purple golds that could be spent like water.
Purple golds were indeed very important to mages, because purple golds represented all the resources they needed. But this also had a limit. Many of the most precious resources couldn't be casually bought with purple golds.
And now, with the Blue Magic Potion, the Instant Mana Recovery Potion that all forces had to obtain, they had no choice but to take out all kinds of resources the Gilded Rose needed in exchange.
The Odin Kingdom had been established for so many years, but there were still so many powerful forces. Less than one force rose to prominence in the past millennium, and none of these forces became one of the most powerful forces. They were at most in the top ten.
One of the most important reasons was the problem of resources. Many of the most precious resources were always in the hands of these top-level forces. When they needed each other, they would use what they had to exchange for what the other party had. It was very rare for these resources to appear in the hands of the weaker forces. Occasionally, these resources would appear in the market, but it would only be scattered here and there. For a single mage, this might be enough, but for a mage force, a scattered bit of resources was not much different from not having any at all.
After taking this step, the Gilded Rose became a lot stronger than many seemingly powerful forces. Those forces that had more powerhouses and more manpower than the Gilded Rose didn't have as many precious resources as the Gilded Rose.
The sale of the Blue Magic Potion brought back a large amount of resources, but some people were clearly envious.
Apart from the first-rate forces, no one could trade for resources that everyone had. Thus, at the start of the trade, many forces didn't agree to the Gilded Rose's method.
The Gilded Rose wasn't just a newly risen force, it also came from the Kingdom of Andalusia, it wasn't from the Odin Kingdom. This was very important.
