The Era of Gods

Chapter 23: Powerful New Species

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a daze, Lin Xiao dreamed that he seemed to have done something earth-shattering, as if…..

He suddenly awoke to find himself lying atop the throne of God, with a splitting headache and a body so weak it was as if he had just been ravaged by ten famished beauties in a relentless cycle of foreplay and caresses, then caresses and foreplay, over and over again, lying on the throne unable to lift a finger or muster the slightest bit of energy.

Inside the Divine Realm, all was silent, with dozens of Fishman god guards standing as still as statues outside the palace.

Lin Xiao lay slanted on the throne for quite a while before he finally uttered a slight breath:

“Divine interface!”

The Divine Realm panel popped up, and he closely reviewed it, immediately noticing something was amiss.

Divine interface:

User name: Lin Xiao (Citizen ID txwd542i54895i47)

True Name: Cyberlex Meyer.

Deity Name: Lord of the Grey Mist, King of the Endless Tide, Master of the Seven Seas.

Divinity: None

Godhood: None (Creator)

Divinity: 1+ (1).

Divine Fire: Unlit.

Divine Power: o.

Superhuman Divine Power: Tide Call.

God Country: Sea of Grey Mist.

Sects: Fishman Ancestor God.

Followers: Grey mist fishman.

Profession: None.

Faith value: o points.

He remembered that he previously had some Divine Power and over two hundred thousand faith points; now they had all turned into zero. However, an additional point in brackets had appeared in the Divinity column.

He focused his thoughts on it, revealing a strange expression on his face, his eyes wide open with ecstatic joy:

“Holy crap, it can actually work like this!”

That bracketed point of divinity was indeed a point of divinity, but it had not yet congealed.

Simply put, he had succeeded. After consuming four portions of pure Bloodline Origin, five life brands of species, two Breeding Cards, one two-star Card, one point of Divine Power, and over two hundred thousand faith points, he had successfully merged a new species and gained the Creationist Godhood, as well as one point of divinity.

However, because his current strength was insufficient, the Creator Godhood could not be activated yet, so it was displayed in brackets.

This single point of divinity was the reward for his successful creation, a reward from some mysterious rule.

Likewise, because of the lack of Divine Power and faith points, this one point of divinity also could not yet manifest.

He needed to amass one billion units of faith points to manifest this one point of divinity.

It might seem similar to normally congealing divinity, but there was a significant difference.

Normally congealing divinity required at least one billion faith points and ten points of Divine Power, and the success rate was not guaranteed; it wasn’t certain that one would succeed.

Now, he only needed one billion faith points and no Divine Power to ensure the congealing of one point of divinity, which was a big difference.

In other words, he now firmly had two points of divinity. If he performed well in the upcoming exam and obtained the point of divinity from the head teacher, wouldn’t he acquire three points of divinity while still in his first year of high school?

Lin Xiao’s breathing became somewhat rapid. If it really were possible, he would definitely meet the prerequisites for advancing to Demigod before the university entrance exams, guaranteeing admission to a good university.

And all of this hinged on his performance in the upcoming exam.

The quality of his performance in the upcoming exam, in turn, rested on whether this newly congealed species… would prove powerful.

Lin Xiao rubbed his hands together, summoned the Creation Rubik’s Cube, and carefully cast his consciousness within. Upon seeing a sphere radiating faint orange light, an attribute list immediately appeared in his mind—

Fifth Level Species Card—Unknown Species (Legendary): Gain 200 individuals of an unknown species in one go.

Note: Half male, half female.

Race: Unknown species.

Category: Sub-human Species.

Level: Medium race.

Profession: None.

Talents: Underwater breathing, basic superhuman strength, basic regeneration, scaled armor.

Skills: Bloodthirsty.

Expertise: Intermediate swimming, basic swift walking, monkey arm.

Constitution: 1.8 (As robust as an ox, that’s you.)

Strength: 1.7+1 (Innate superhuman strength, almost triple the strength of an adult male.)

Agility: 1.2+0.5 (Equivalent to a professionally trained sprinter.)

Spirit: 1 (Not much different from ordinary people, generally incapable of spawning casting professions.)

Evaluation: This is a type of amphibious humanoid species that has never appeared before, possessing strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

“Goodness gracious!”

Lin Xiao immediately exclaimed, not bothering to look at anything else but just these attributes, then pulled up the attribute table of the Tribal Gray Fog Fish people existing within the Divine Realm for comparison—

Race: Grey mist fishman (low-level race)

Category: Sub-human Species

Level: Rank 1 or below

Profession: None

Talents: Underwater breathing

Skills: None

Expertise: Basic swimming

Constitution: 0.6 (The point for an adult human is 1.)

Strength: 0.5 (The burst strength of an eighty-year-old man might surpass yours.)

Agility: 0.4/1.1 (Land/Water)

Spirit: 0.4 (Even with genetic mutations, it’s impossible to become a caster)

Evaluation: An extremely weak aquatic race.

There’s absolutely no comparison. In any aspect, it directly crushes the fishman, even in water because this newborn unknown species is also an amphibious creature, and it also crushes the fishman in water.

Based on the standard of 1 point of strength for an adult male, this new species has nearly double the constitution of a normal person, almost triple the strength of a normal person, more than double the agility, and intelligence not inferior to humans, among other things.

And this is just the base attributes, without including the four talents and one skill, as well as the three expertises.

There are four talents, respectively: underwater breathing, basic superhuman strength, basic regeneration, and scaled armor.

Underwater breathing needs no explanation; those who know, know.

Basic superhuman strength is the additional point of strength.

Basic regeneration means this new species has a healing ability higher than that of ordinary people, and it’s unknown from which species this ability has been inherited.

Scaled armor signifies that this species has a thick layer of scales, and judging from the fact that the fishman also has scales but it’s not listed as a talent, the new species’ scales must offer higher defense.

The skill bloodthirsty is likely inherited from the Black-Backed Jackal Man; this skill is very straightforward. As long as blood is seen, the Hyenaman’s fighting spirit increases, slightly enhancing resistance to abnormal and negative states, like hypnotism or fear.

There are three expertises: intermediate swimming, basic swift walking, and monkey arm.

Intermediate swimming is also inherited from the fishman but is faster than the basic swimming of the fishman.

Basic swift walking, as the name suggests, indicates running fast. The additional 0.5 points in agility come from this skill.

Monkey arm, this expertise indicates the species can wield two-handed weapons in each hand, similar to a skill called Titan’s Grip available to warrior professions.

“This is a perfect Berserker template race!”

Lin Xiao immediately correlated this series of talents and expertises with a powerful close combat profession. If this species were to change profession to a Berserker, no, even just a warrior, it would greatly enhance its combat power.

Unfortunately, Profession Cards are too rare; they are almost as scarce as Divinity Cards, and even his own father probably doesn’t have one.
