Chapter 51

"Then you're wrong. The Shadow Clan stops changing in appearance at the age of eighteen and does not age until death, with a normal lifespan of five hundred years. The Shadow Clan has the highest reproductive capacity among all the races in the universe!"

Hengyi was stunned, suddenly understanding why this training was so rushed and urgent. Every extra day would result in an unknown increase in the number of invading Shadow Clan members!

"The intelligence of the Shadow Clan is generally low... and they have a group structure similar to ants, with clear division of labor. They prioritize the development and survival of their race, being brave and fearless of death. The offspring of the Shadow Clan can inherit at least twenty percent of the previous generation's strength, with the highest possibility being a hundred percent inheritance. There is also a very small probability of super-mutated inheritance, which can surpass the previous generation by several times. The leaders of the Shadow Clan are all products of such super-mutations. Once a more powerful super-mutated offspring appears in a group, the original leader will automatically pass on the leadership role and follow their commands. The Shadow Clan never engages in internal strife, always prioritizing the collective survival and development. In times of food scarcity, the lowest-ranking members will voluntarily offer their flesh and blood to feed the more powerful members of their race."

Hengyi and his companions drew in sharp breaths. Such a cruel and fierce race was beyond their imagination.

"No wonder the Shadow Clan has become one of the most powerful races in the universe today," Hu Baijie was deeply moved, realizing how dangerous and difficult this training battle would be.

"The Shadow Clan generally does not use magical artifacts or external objects, so in one-on-one combat of equal strength, they are not our match. However, the Shadow Clan rarely acts alone. You must fully understand the abilities of the Shadow Clan. Their inherited abilities are not just in terms of true qi cultivation, strength, and combat skills, but also in areas such as reconnaissance, concealment, and foraging. The Shadow Clan instinctively does what their abilities suit them for. If they establish a foothold here and breed a large number of diverse offspring, it will be a big problem. If a special mutation occurs, the consequences will be even more terrifying. As I mentioned earlier, the Shadow Clan generally has low intelligence—"

Hengyi and the others listened intently as they flew, and Chen Zizai said with a serious expression, "But there are exceptions. The current Shadow Clan's Shadow Twin Emperors are twins, one male and one female. The male has the strongest combat ability of the Shadow Clan, while the female has high intelligence. There have been many instances in the past where highly intelligent Shadow Clan members have caused significant damage and impact on human civilization and the Sind civilization."

Seeing Hengyi's puzzled expression, Chen Zizai couldn't help but smile, "Yes, the Shadow Clan may sound vicious and terrifying. The last thing I want to tell you is that the Shadow Clan is highly similar to humans, with most having grayish-white skin, though there are exceptions. They resemble the elf race of the Sind civilization but lack long ears. Female Shadow Clan members are very beautiful and sexy, and highly intelligent Shadow Clan members can even disguise themselves as humans."

Hengyi was genuinely surprised, as were the others. A fierce and cruel race that looked just like them?

This was something they had never imagined...

Chen Zizai pointed to a mountain on the ground. "We're here, that's the Water Blue City of the Water Blue Sect!"

Hengyi, who had been listening to Chen Zizai's introduction to the Shadow Clan, finally had a chance to look at the ground.

This was a land surrounded by deep blue sea. Looking far into the distance, there were many such lands at the horizon where the sea and sky met.

Chen Zizai had mentioned that with the seed array's effect, more land would rise from the sea over time, quickly growing plants and becoming a rich, habitable continent.

Water Blue City, which sounded like a city, was more like a village.

There were no walls made of earth, let alone the magical walls formed by spells on the peak star.

All the houses were tree houses, with rain shelters built into the hollowed-out tree trunks.

There were only about seven hundred people here, and Chen Zizai said they were lucky. The population here was already considered large, with many other teams being assigned to places with only a few dozen or even twenty to thirty people.

The original forest was tall and robust, with the thickest tree having a diameter of three zhang (about 10 meters). The tree where the Water Blue Sect's leader lived was inhabited by a powerful man with a cultivation level of the second stage of the Human Venerable realm. On this planet, he was considered one of the top cultivators, evolving rapidly and being regarded by the locals as a messenger who could hear the divine voice.

When Hengyi and his group of five arrived, the giant man, over 2.3 meters tall, was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair, holding a spirit wood staff, which symbolized his status and was his magical artifact. This spirit wood could indeed channel the true qi of a Human Venerable, but on the peak star, it was only a decorative item compared to many better weapons.

A group of men, women, and children from Water Blue City knelt on the ground, shouting excitedly.

"Divine beings from the heavens! I, a humble being, sensed the command of the supreme deity and have been kneeling here in devout reverence for a day and a night! Thank you, divine beings, for your blessings and compassion. The demons that suddenly appeared will surely be defeated by the gods! Noble gods descended from the heavens, please come to our Water Blue City's largest house and enjoy our humble but sincere offerings! There is the finest meat we have selected, the freshest fruits we have picked, and the purest and sweetest water we have brought from the mountains! Please accept our worship, great and compassionate gods descended from the heavens!"

Hengyi had already heard from Chen Zizai that the same-race inhabitants of the dead star, during their evolution, those who evolved faster could sense the seed array. These people would regard the existence of the seed array as the will of the gods, learning how to cultivate their true qi through this感应.

When faced with survival crises that required support, the array would give these people a vague premonition, including the invasion of the Shadow Clan. These people would also vaguely realize the appearance of terrifying demons, and many tribes had even witnessed the Shadow Clan emerging from the portal.

Entering the tree house, the floor was padded with animal skins, and the skulls of wild animals were arranged in a circle. The wooden seats were crudely made, with key parts tied together with ropes made from the bark of flexible plants, likely due to a lack of suitable tools.

Various fruits and roughly cooked meat were laid out on the table.

In their eyes, the fruits were clean but limited, and the meat, lacking any seasoning, looked unappetizing.

"Try to eat a little to fulfill their wishes," Chen Zizai led the way, tearing off a piece of cooked meat and eating it, then taking a grape and feeding it to his mouth.

The leader of the Water Blue Sect, seeing the food he had prepared with care being enjoyed by the five gods, looked extremely honored.

Chen Zizai said solemnly, "Has the Water Blue Sect discovered any traces of the demons?"

"Great gods, there are traces of their activity in the northern mountain range. Three unfortunate people were killed by the demons while picking fruits, and only their bones were left!"

"Are you sure it wasn't done by wild animals?" Chen Zizai continued to ask.

"Great gods! All the ferocious wild animals around Water Blue City have been eliminated by the power granted by the gods! It must be the work of the demons!"

"How many people can you send out?"

"Fifty, great gods. If needed, we can put aside all our work and do our utmost to defeat the demons!" The leader of the Water Blue Sect's sincere and generous declaration made Hengyi feel the gravity and urgency of the task at hand.

"Currently, there's no need to affect daily work." Chen Zizai took out fifty magical talismans and handed them to the leader of the Water Blue Sect. "One for each person. After eating, they should search in groups. If they discover any demons, they should immediately throw the talisman into the sky, and we will come."

"The Water Blue Clan will follow the divine command!" The leader of the Water Blue Sect crawled out of the tree house, immediately selecting the number of people for reconnaissance and distributing the talismans. With a command, those people set out with stone or wooden weapons.

Hengyi stood at the door of the tree house, watching the Water Blue Clan people disperse. Many were busy in the fields, others were gathering wild fruits and plants to feed their livestock, and even the young children were not idle, with two-year-olds helping to feed the cattle and sheep.

Hengyi counted the number of pigs, cattle, and sheep and turned to Chen Zizai, saying, "Their meat supply is insufficient. On average, each person gets only one or two ounces of meat per day. If they need to prepare for emergencies, they might only eat livestock meat once a month. Let's give the meat we don't eat to the children."

Chen Zizai agreed, nodding and smiling, "Of course, we shouldn't waste their food."

He walked to Hengyi's side, looking at the busy Water Blue Clan, and sighed, "Their level of evolution is too low, and they can't change their living conditions through learning spells. They suffer from many diseases, and their low level of evolution prevents true qi from entering their bodies, so even the spells of the Divine Gate can't cure many of their ailments. But the future of every dead star is full of hope. Within a hundred years, the population of this planet will increase by several dozen times, and the land area will expand by several times. At that time, this place will be a Divine Gate of a hundred thousand miles in size, and perhaps a cultivation genius like us will be born among them."

Hengyi looked at the busy figures of the Water Blue Clan and felt that the situation was better than many villages he had seen on the peak star. Here, hundreds of people worked together under the leadership of the Water Blue Sect's leader to ensure survival and reproduction.

The Divine Gate training filled Hengyi with a sense of responsibility and determination.

"Human civilization's history has shown the drawbacks of widespread 'selfish individualism' during the development and evolution process, causing many problems during the long cosmic war period. The current Divine Gate system is established to change the impact of this long history. The development of the seed stars will skip the unfavorable stages, and they will quickly enter the Divine Gate system. The concept of collective units based on sects will become a habit. Even those with low cultivation potential will create various basic resources needed by the Divine Gate."

Hengyi recalled the death of Xu Wenfeng's adoptive parents and understood why they couldn't be saved at the time.

Hai Yuntian and Hu Baijie, listening inside the tree house, felt somewhat surprised, as they had never heard of these concepts before, and even Hu San would not understand them.

If Chen Zizai were a recently returned illegitimate child, where could he have learned these surprising and fresh theories?

The leader of the Water Blue Sect, holding the spirit wood staff, led three women and two men, who bowed their heads and approached. When they got closer, they crawled forward.

Hengyi, seeing their knees scraped raw, quickly said, "No need to kneel."

Chen Zizai smiled but said nothing. The rules of the Divine Gate on the seed stars didn't need to be so rigid, but...

"Before the great gods, we humble beings can only express our reverence by kneeling!" The leader of the Water Blue Sect said, bowing his head to the ground with each word, and the others did the same.

Chen Zizai laughed, "Understand? Their reverence is based on a long-standing awareness established through the seed array. It's useless to tell them; they can't naturally face us."

Hengyi was speechless, realizing that his words had only made them bow their heads even more, and quickly said, "Stop bowing, come over!"

The leader of the Water Blue Sect and the others crawled closer, speaking sincerely, "Great gods, these are the most beautiful and vibrant women and the strongest and most powerful men of Water Blue City. They are the finest offerings we have selected for the gods. Please enjoy their vitality and strength, and let them bring you indescribable pleasure!"

"..." Hu Baijie, looking at the two men with disheveled hair, bulging muscles, and skin that looked like it hadn't been washed in years, understood what this "offering" meant... She tried hard to suppress her urge to roar.

Hai Shan, already furious, shouted, "Who wants men to serve them!"
