42 Adaptive Race

"We understand your pain, that Annihilation Upper God is willing to accept devout believers."

Constan said:

"Becoming Narrative-level citizen is difficult. You need to pass layers of assessments and swear never to betray our Grand Narrative. Unless there is a mission, you cannot leave our Fixed Time Domain. If you want to integrate into us, your current bloodline will become a burden. We need to change you..."

These are just polite words.

Li Aoz all too familiar with these people's tactics.

The actual population of Narrative-level Civilization is not large, generally around two trillion. The Heroes Empire would be considerably larger, but still not exceeding five trillion.

However, there is one exception: all the citizens of the Narrative-level are elites of Star Abyss, imbued with the very essence of Narrative-level Civilization, and they will not easily let anyone in.

Citizens of the Heroes Empire are divided into three classes, with only the first class being the true citizens of the Heroes Empire.

The Temple of Annihilation follows a different pattern: while they claim that their homeland is no good and we shouldn't come, the Temple of Annihilation is actually Narrative-level Civilization places the most emphasis on lineage.

To join, you must undergo bloodline modification step by step. Only after you have completely transformed yourself into a ' Nox Ling Race ' recognized by the Temple of Annihilation can you officially enter the Narrative-level Civilization.

If you don't succeed once you get there, you'll begin an education and be required to marry someone from your tribe, form a family, and have children. Only after thousands of years of testing will you become a citizen with full rights.

It would take at least five thousand years to go through this whole process. The Temple of Annihilation uses this method to keep you hanging on, preventing you from receiving the full benefits.

Even if you haven't completed the process, but you've already modified your bloodline, do you think these people with the blood of the Annihilation race, even if they haven't joined the Narrative-level, will band together? Will they be more inclined to their new kin civilization? When the Temple of Annihilation prepares to launch a war one day, these people will rush to the front lines even more enthusiastically in order to prove themselves in front of civilization.

When they die in battle, at most they will receive some compensation and lose some of the cost of altering their bloodline—but they have preserved the original, orthodox, pure-blooded elite of the nation.

The Temple of Annihilation's conservative strategy led to a rapid increase in the number of Nox Ling Race descendants, who began to run rampant in the universe. Many of them simply committed murder and arson before being recruited by the government, becoming one of the most hated races in the universe.

Fortunately, Li Aoz really did come here for bloodline modification.

After speaking for a long time, Constan finally revealed his true intentions, casually mentioning:

"... For believers like you who sincerely wish to join the Temple, we are willing to provide you with some assistance free of charge, so that you can better integrate into our civilization."

—What's free is always the most expensive. Calculations show that the benefits of giving Narrative-level jobs and errands far outweigh the incomplete perks they receive.

Li Aoz looked flattered and said devoutly, "Great kindness, Annihilation Upper God!"

"Your path is already set, and your faith is so firm. In that case, I can help you modify your bloodline—on this point, I suggest you have these three options."

Constan spread out his hand, revealing three different potions: blue, black, and purple. "The Nox Ling Race —this is our main ethnic group, possessing excellent divine thinking and balanced talent development, making them useful in any industry."

"The Yakama Ling Race - This is an Eldar bloodline that excels in combat and destruction. They are skilled in martial arts and have a natural talent for physical strength."

"The Saklai Ling Race —our best scholars and Spellcasters all come from this race. Of course, their martial prowess is also formidable, but without a doubt, it will greatly enhance your intelligence and breadth of knowledge."

Constan looked at Li Aoz:

Which one will you choose to join us in continuing our Grand Narrative?

Li Aoz hesitated for a moment, and Constan, noticing his hesitation, asked, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"I remember there were more than just these in our narrative, weren't there?"

Li Aoz hesitated for a moment and said:

"When I first read ' "Thus Spoke Elai",' it was mentioned that the Eldar had seventeen branches."

"The "Thus Spoke Elai"? You've read quite a lot—now I understand what you're feeling. To finish that book, you're no ordinary person..."

Constan's comments contained a hint of criticism.

Olavier's expression panel was filled with surprise and shock. He looked at Li Aoz as if he were looking at some extraordinary person.

"Wow, Lioz's impressive," Olavier said in the private chat. "To have a proud member of Narrative-level Civilization, and an elite priest among them, personally acknowledge that you're no ordinary person."

'Even Lioz, the God of Reality, couldn't earn the Eldar's respect when he visited Narrative-level Civilization. And you, a junior with the same name, have done it? You're even more impressive Lioz!'

It's not that exaggerated.

Li Aoz replied:

That's a very difficult book to understand, or rather, it requires some unconventional logic to comprehend.

"Damn, he said you're not an ordinary person, does that mean that?"

I think so.

When Li Aoz was talking to Olavier, Constan found himself growing to like Li Aoz more and more. He was also happy to answer his questions.

"Yes, that's right. The Spirit Race has a total of 17 branches. The three main ethnic groups account for 70%, and the remaining 14 ethnic groups account for 30%. You know it correctly."

Constan was curious:

"You have a deep understanding of Narrative-level, which is good. However, are you sure you want to choose from the other fourteen Eldar?"

"It was the Elai Ling Race that led me onto this path."

Li Aoz immediately showed a look of longing and nostalgia:

"Therefore, I think it would be more appropriate to choose the Elai Ling Race. It would also fulfill my childhood dream."

—Although Li Aoz had never read that book, in his previous life, the plot of the Spirit Race was so long and tedious that it could not be finished in several versions, so he simply gave up and played through it online.

"Hmm... Lioz, you are a loyal person, that's good. I can foresee that you will be a loyal subject."

Constan removed the three enhancement potions in front of him and instead grabbed a pale golden enhancement potion from the void. "The Elai Ling Race... Heh, this race is both pathetic and magnificent. They are very good at creating what they like and are also quite good at research. The Grand Architect Matt Dingberlun was born into the Elai Ling Race."

His tone was full of emotion.

"However, that's all. Over the years, there has only been one Ding Bolun."

"I must remind you that the Elai Ling Race is not a very powerful race. If you are determined to pursue the path, it is better to choose one of the three mainstream paths that I recommend."

Even so, are you still going to make a choice?

Li Aoz nodded firmly:

"Yes, I wish to Elai Ling Race."

Let me tell you something interesting.

There's a reader who sells pirated books—Laifangze. He thinks I plagiarized * Super God Mechanic *, and he made a sharp comment:

"With your skill level, you dare to copy the Mechanic? Li Aoz a useless dog who keeps letting the tiger return to the mountain. You bastard, you really know how to disgust people."

What's interesting about this isn't that he accused me of plagiarism, but that he didn't even misspell the name.

It's not that he watched pirated versions and then went to the official section to personally attack me. After all, he's a student, it's normal that he doesn't have the habit of paying for content. I don't oppose piracy, and it's an honor for me to be able to access Biquge. Besides, I watched the pirated version of Super God Mechanic too.

Instead... this guy didn't subscribe to Super God Mechanic at all.

I checked, and he probably hasn't subscribed to a single chapter of "Super God Mechanic" yet; he's still an apprentice.

I subscribed to all the Super God Mechanic content, became a leader in the alliance, and even added a sarcastic tag to the title and character card.

My contributions and support for Super God Mechanic far exceed those who just spout nonsense and sell pirated content. What right do you have to criticize me?

At least I got on the bus and paid my fare. Some people accuse me of plagiarism as soon as they open their mouths, but when they see that I haven't subscribed to a single chapter, they're like pickled fish—sour, bland, and superfluous.

As for whether I plagiarized The Mechanic, I think I plagiarized From the Abyss and Endless Lost Path more than The Mechanic, and I plagiarized Toppin Zero Kunkun more than The Mechanic.

If I'm considered plagiarism, then wouldn't works like "Everyone's XX, I Can XXXX", "Starting with XX, XXXX", and "Infinite XX" be even more plagiarized? You should call me a Frankenstein's monster.
