2617 14 Totem Seeds!
The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had evolved here. It was also here that Lin Yuan had obtained the Kill Food Worm from the Cage of Brahma Insects’ Fan Jianyi.
Eventually, the Kill Food Worm had evolved into the Kill Food Sky Butterfly and found a partner in Purple Afterglow.
Lin Yuan felt slightly sentimental now that he was back here.
Now, he was going to witness Morbius’ evolution here.
Lin Yuan always felt that Morbius was very special. He could not regard Morbius under the same lens that he viewed everything else.
Regular feys would never have an exclusive skill when they were only Normal grade.
Even after reaching Diamond grade, Morbius could not see its own species on True Data. The section was still filled with three question marks.
He did not know if Morbius would finally be able to see its own species after it evolved to Suzerain/Myth.
Frankly, Lin Yuan did not want Morbius to see its own species too soon.
The later that Morbius gained access to its species, the more powerful it would be.
Each time one of the spirit-locked feys evolved, Morbius’ abilities changed when it evolved.
When Lin Yuan first acquired Morbius, its exclusive skill, Spirit Lock involved nurturing feys within the Spirit Lock spatial zone. These nurtured feys couldn’t possess a higher grade than Morbius itself. Morbius’ grade couldn’t evolve independently; rather, it would only advance through the evolution of the spirit-locked feys, gaining their initial abilities.
However, Morbius couldn’t acquire abilities through its own evolutions.
As Morbius’ grade increased, it could nurture another fey each time without any alteration to this grade increment method.
However, when Morbius reached Silver grade, Spirit Lock underwent an improvement. Now, there was no longer a restriction preventing Morbius from gaining abilities through its own evolution.
It was at that time that Morbius gained Spirit Qi Condensation.
After it gained Spirit Qi Condensation, a stone bowl appeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Periodically, a spirit qi crystal would be formed in the stone bowl. At the time, this was Lin Yuan’s only way of obtaining spirit qi crystals.
Later, after Lin Yuan used the Pure Land of Bliss to heal the Mother of Bloodbath when it evolved to Myth II, he accidentally allowed the Pure Land of Bliss to absorb the Mother of Bloodbath’s World Grace. From this, he obtained numerous spirit qi crystals.
Even until now, Lin Yuan could not be certain if this was because of the Pure Land of Bliss or because of Spirit Qi Condensation.
Although Spirit Lock no longer prevented Morbius from gaining new abilities, it could not gain a new ability every time it increased its grade.
Morbius’ gaining of abilities seemed to be coincidental.
When Morbius evolved to Diamond grade, it gained a new ability called Spirit Lock Filling.
Spirit Lock Filling’s effects would fill an empty spirit-lock slot so that Morbius’ evolution or improvement would not be affected. The ability could also be used for multiple grades. If a spirit-locked fey’s grade had reached the limit, Spirit Lock Filling could be used to remove the limit so that Morbius’ evolution would not be impacted.
This ability greatly increased Morbius’ margin of error. There was also no urgency for Lin Yuan to find a new fey to spirit lock now that he had contracted the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom. He could just use Spirit Lock Filling to fill the empty slot.
Lin Yuan had two Endless Gems he had not used to unlock the spirit-locked feys. One of them came from the subterranean world, while the other came from the alien insect world.
Presently, Lin Yuan did not have any good options for earth- or insect-species feys.
Lin Yuan did not want to force matters when it came to spirit-locking feys. When he spirit locked a fey, he had to ensure it would help with Morbius’ grade evolution and integrate perfectly into Lin Yuan’s combat system.
Lin Yuan intended to wait until Morbius evolved to Sovereign/Creation before he picked a fey to spirit lock.
After all, he had no idea how long he had to wait before Morbius could evolve to Sovereign/Creation.
Lin Yuan had become an A-rank spirit qi professional.
A-rank spirit qi professionals needed to cross an enormous gap in order to reach S-rank. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short span of time.
Lin Yuan told Morbius softly, “Partner, let’s begin! Do you need Eternal Source’s help when you are evolving?”
Morbius said cheerfully, “Partner, based on my memory, we are in a Class 1 world. The World Cleansings that appear in Class 1 worlds won’t be able to affect me, so there’s no need for you to worry.
“I said that I might cause a large commotion because I will be undergoing my evolution while containing the auras of six spirit-locked feys. The auras of the six spirit-locked feys will definitely alter the World Cleansing. However, there is no cause for concern.”
Once Morbius was done with its explanation, Lin Yuan felt his wrist grow hot, and Morbius started spinning as it flew off from Lin Yuan’s wrist.
There were ten Endless Gems embedded in Morbius’ indentations.
The treasures from the dimensional worlds had been produced after Morbius tempered the energy from the Endless Gems.
They could not be produced simply from piecing two Endless Gems together. Otherwise, powerful lifeforms from the dimensional worlds would already have formed contracts with the treasures and used them to take over the dimensional worlds.
Morbius had looked plain when it was on Lin Yuan’s wrist. But now, it looked extremely extravagant.
There were intricate patterns carved all over Morbius, and it seemed as though they could form the totems of all the creatures in the world when they were pieced together.
The patterns were so intricate they were almost hypnotizing, but when one focused, every line would become extremely clear.
When Morbius released its aura, a hole larger than that of regular World Cleansings appeared in the sky.
Lin Yuan looked at the hole and saw that there were smaller holes within the large one. The small holes were all overlapping, and one could not determine where they ended. It was impossible to tell where each one started and ended.
At that moment, the holes were all spewing the World Cleansing’s dark clouds, flaming clouds, lightning-filled clouds, poisonous clouds, lava, hail, thunderbolts, and rocks. Every type of World Cleansing that Lin Yuan had seen and not seen yet were all crashing down towards Morbius.
All ten Endless Gems on Morbius’ body lit up simultaneously.
They started absorbing the attacks from the World Cleansings according to their individual types.
Eternal Source used his aura to create a 500-square-kilometer cage around the area. Otherwise, the shocks would be throughout the entire Radiance Federation.
Normally, a fey’s World Cleansing would not last more than two hours if they had no one helping them and they had to endure all the attacks on their own.
However, Morbius’ World Cleansing lasted five days and five nights before it finally ended.
The World Grace of other Myth Breed feys always appeared as a white mist of energy.
But once Morbius was done with its World Cleansing, a waterfall of white fluid flowed out from the hole. The fluid-like World Grace crashed down on Morbius like violent rapids.
Lin Yuan almost bit through his tongue when he saw that.
Although he had already done all he could to quell the commotion that Morbius was causing, he had not expected Morbius’ World Grace to be so startling.
Morbius rapidly absorbed the waterfall-like World Grace.
Morbius was like a black hole, gobbling all of the World Grace.
But the white fluid World Grace was just the beginning, and Lin Yuan soon realized something was wrong.
The World Grace pouring out from the hole turned faint gold before intensifying into a deep gold.
It took three days before the World Grace stopped pouring out from the hole.
Once Morbius was done absorbing the World Grace, the rust-colored light around it exploded.
Lin Yuan saw that cracks had appeared on Morbius.
Morbius’ shape as a bangle had not changed, but a larger and collar-like Morbius had appeared.
The collar-like Morbius had 13 slashes, dividing the collar into 14 sections.
The collar was very plain and did not have many accessories attached to it.
But the rust-colored light made the plain collar seem quaint and stylish.
The collar and bangle spun around before returning to Lin Yuan’s body.
At that moment, Morbius, who looked similar to Lin Yuan, appeared in a spirit form next to him.
This was the first time that Morbius was appearing in the real world. Previously, it could only maintain its form in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Morbius looked at Lin Yuan, who was close by, and patted Lin Yuan’s left shoulder forcefully, just like Liu Jie would do.
“Partner, I can meet with you in this human form even if you’re not in the Spirit Lock spatial zone! Breathing the air of the real world feels much freer than holing up in the Spirit Lock spatial zone!”
Lin Yuan touched Morbius’ right shoulder and forcefully patted it.
At that moment, Lin Yuan and Morbius looked like a set of twins.
Lin Yuan could tell that Morbius was very happy and could not help but smile. “Partner, will you be able to slowly gain a tangible body as you continue to increase your grade and quality?”
Morbius was silent momentarily before it said with uncertainty, “That is possible, but I can’t say for sure what will happen after my evolution. The Spirit Lock spatial zone has been locked. A small portion of the World Grace I absorbed is being used to strengthen the Spirit Lock spatial zone. The renovation will take at least a month.
“I do have a piece of good news, which is that Klein Hub will also be strengthened alongside the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Once strengthened, Klein Hub will become large enough to transport Sky Sea!
“I have moved all of the lifeforms in the Spirit Lock spatial zone to the vicinity of the Pure Land of Bliss. They won’t be affected by the renovation of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
“I also intentionally used some of the World Grace to temper the Elemental Shellfish in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. The Elemental Shellfish will probably provide you with a pleasant surprise!”
While Morbius was speaking, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on it.
[Fey Name]: Morbius
[Fey Species]: ???
[Fey Grade]: Suzerain (1/10)
[Fey Type]: Mystery
[Fey Quality]: Myth I
Abilities:
[True Data]: All complicated information that is invisible to the eye is turned into data. Information that is turned into data might contain truth that cannot be distinguished on the surface.
[Calm Mind]: Passive ability. Effects of Calm Mind can be improved according to the fey’s grade. Calm Mind can stabilize the mind and has a certain probability of resisting negative conditions.
[Spirit Qi Condensation]: Gather the spirit qi in the air and Spirit Lock spatial zone. The gathered spirit qi will form spirit qi crystals that can enhance feys and source-type lifeforms.
[Spirit Lock Filling]: An empty spirit lock slot will be filled, and Morbius’ evolution and improvement will not be affected. Multiple grade slots can be filled, and a spirit-locked fey’s evolution limit can also be removed.
Exclusive Skill:
[Spirit Lock]: Morbius’ spatial zone can be used to nurture feys. The initial grade of the fey that Morbius’ spatial zone can nurture must not be higher than Morbius’ grade. Morbius isn’t able to increase its grade by itself, so its grade will be increased along with the fey’s grade that it nurtures.
[Pure Land of Bliss]: The Spirit Lock spatial zone will produce soil that is great for recovering near-death fey’s injuries. The grade of Morbius and the dying fey will determine the fey’s recovery time.
[Klein Hub]: Swallow and bind the dimensional hub that connects to the dimensional world into the Spirit Lock spatial zone. During the binding process, the lifeforms and items in the Spirit Lock spatial zone will enter the connected dimensional world. However, the dimensional world’s lifeforms will not be able to enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
[14 Totem Seeds]: The seeds of 14 totems can be given to 14 separate species. The 14 species will use their faith and power sources to incubate the totem seeds, enabling them to grow into totem trees. The species will then be engraved on the neck as totems. Once a species is carved onto the neck, the entire species’ lifeform rank will be raised and given a unique totem ability.
