Today's third update: Chapter 3737! 3/6!
So, compared to that, the two "guests" Xu Caiyi mentioned—one from the Tier-A Sequence Ming Gan Huang Race, the other from the B-tier Sequence Xun Race—might not rank particularly high among the myriad races as a whole. Yet compared to those plant races that had branched off, most of which could only struggle at the bottom, they were unquestionably among the finest of the finest.
With the Wood Race standing as a towering tree overhead, it was no easy feat for races that had become independent to compete for such high Sequence Rankings.
Of course, one reason was that these plant races possessed sufficiently powerful bloodline inheritances.
After all, without enough talent and potential, no amount of resources could produce top-tier powerhouses capable of supporting an entire race.
But there was another indispensable condition that determined how they achieved such results and reached such heights—
The Wood Race's cultivation.
If races like the Lan Yin Grass had left the Wood Race's main branch only because they had been ostracized and had no choice but to wander, then the Ming Gan Huang Race and the Xun Race were carefully positioned "pieces" deliberately arranged by the Wood Race.
