New Species—Blackscale Naga

Lin Xiao had yet to name the new Species Card, because he still did not know what this new species looked like. Five species had merged into one, and he was very curious about what kind of monster they would combine into.

Holding the new Species Card, Lin Xiao arrived above the Divine Domain. After some thought, he decided to abandon the Gray Mist Fishmen, his original Kinfolk, and make this newborn species the main species of the Divine Domain.

It was somewhat cruel, but this was a path every Lord of the Divine Domain had to take in life.

Every newborn Divine Creature who opened up a new Divine Domain started with only one point of Divinity. The species they could choose were generally extremely weak races such as Goblins, Murlocs, and Kobolds. Powerful races such as humans, Elves, and Dwarves could not be sustained by their Divinity; they had to possess a higher Divinity value to bear them.

As a newborn Lord of the Divine Domain gradually grew stronger, their original weak species would certainly be unable to keep up. At that point, they had to replace them with more powerful Kinfolk.

This was inevitable. Otherwise, everyone else would switch to powerful races like humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs, while you were still using Goblins and Murlocs. When the time came to fight, what would you use to stand against those powerful races? In the future, when you marched into the planes of the outer Crystal Wall Systems, were you going to lead a bunch of Goblins and Murlocs into battle?

Wasn't that a joke?

Lin Xiao had known this step would come long ago. He just had not expected it to arrive so quickly. He had thought he would begin replacing them in his Second or Third Year of High School, but an appropriate new species had appeared while he was still in his First Year.

He tossed out the card that emitted a faint dark-golden glow. The Gold Card shattered in midair, turning into a cloud of golden mist that descended and rapidly expanded into a golden fog the size of a football field before settling on the ground.

A sea breeze blew in from the nearby ocean, dispersing the golden mist and revealing figures about two meters tall, over four meters long including their snake tails, and covered from head to toe in thick scales. How should he put it? This species looked rather familiar. There was no need to waste words describing it—it closely resembled an amphibious species called Naga.

Yes, just like the Naga from a game called World of Warcraft from the era before Lin Xiao had transmigrated. Their skin was merely a little darker, their scales a little rougher, their faces somewhat different from Naga, and they looked more ferocious.

There were two hundred Naga in total, evenly split between males and females.

It was worth mentioning that he had only named them Naga because he thought they looked like them. This did not mean they were truly the Naga race. In fact, some Crystal Wall Systems did have a race called Naga; this new species he had fused merely resembled them.

Moreover, the new species he had named Blackscale Naga did not differ much in appearance between males and females. Unlike the true Naga race, where males looked like monsters while females were as beautiful and alluring as Murlocs, female Blackscale Naga were equally ugly, covered in black scales and just as ferocious.

The only distinction between males and females was that the males were more muscular, with rougher scales and body lines, while the females had slightly softer lines. Usually, one glance was enough to tell them apart.

Of course, whether male or female, they were equally ugly. In any case, Lin Xiao would never have any fantasies about them.

But that did not stop him from liking this new species. He was extremely satisfied.

Whether they were real Naga or not did not matter. Their attributes and strength were right there, and this new species still had room to grow.

As a new species he had created, recognized by the unseen laws, and one that had already condensed Creation Godhood, he could continuously fuse new bloodlines into them in the future to strengthen them. According to the Creation Laws, he could strengthen them further. Lin Xiao took a look. On top of their current foundation, he could strengthen the Blackscale Naga five more times? Wait, five more times? He looked again in surprise. He really could strengthen them five more times.

"This is pretty powerful!"

Lin Xiao was extremely surprised.

He remembered an example his teacher had given in a theory class. Once, a Deity with Greater Divine Power had created a new species. That newborn species had possessed a full three enhancement opportunities, and after three enhancements, it had directly become a Sub-Legendary species—ridiculously powerful.

Even a new species painstakingly created by a Deity with Greater Divine Power had only possessed the potential for three enhancements, yet this absurdly ugly new species of his had the potential for five. Lin Xiao's lips curled upward, and he could not suppress the smile on his face.

From that moment on, he resolved to tell others that his species only had the potential for two enhancements.

That would display his potential in this area and earn him attention, while also preventing him from attracting jealous eyes by being too high-profile.

The newly born species stood upon the Black Soil Land in confusion. As newly created beings, their memories were completely blank. Unlike creatures summoned from other Species Cards, they retained none of their previous memories.

Yet Lin Xiao existed in their memories. As their creator, he had innately gained the faith of the Blackscale Naga race. These two hundred Blackscale Naga were all born as True Believers.

Furthermore, once he condensed a Divine Profession in the future, he would only need one point of Divinity capacity to prioritize condensing the racial Divine Profession of the Blackscale Naga, just like the chief gods of Dwarves and Elves, or the God of Murlocs and other racial gods.

In other words, every creator was innately the chief god of the species they created.

Therefore, Lin Xiao could now change his God Name, or add Father of Blackscale Naga or God of Blackscale Naga as another God Name.

Compared to God Names such as Lord of Gray Mist, King of Endless Tide, and Lord of the Seven Seas, which could be casually added to sound more impressive, the God Name God of Blackscale Naga was truly well deserved.

Just as he was indulging in this fantasy, the Murloc tribe on the other side discovered the newly appeared Blackscale Naga. A large group of Murlocs poured out of the tribe, observing these newly appeared powerful creatures from afar. Many had already taken out their Short Spears, their eyes gleaming viciously.

After defeating more than two hundred Snake-Men, these Murlocs had become quite bold. Upon encountering Blackscale Naga, who were not much different in size from the Snake-Men, they not only showed no fear but even dared to make the first move.

The Blackscale Naga on the other side sensed the Murlocs' hostility, and fierce glints overflowed from their eyes. None of the several races fused into these creatures had been kind by nature; the ferocity in their bones was practically seeping out. These smaller-looking Murlocs dared show hostility, so the Blackscale Naga immediately surrounded them.

Their savage faces, somewhat similar to Gnolls', and their snake-like vertical pupils stared fixedly at the approaching Murlocs.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Lin Xiao finally sensed the killing intent below and reacted. A roar like muffled thunder exploded in the minds of every Murloc and Blackscale Naga. In an instant, Murlocs and Naga alike sprawled across the ground.

The fury of a Deity brought all the Murlocs and Blackscale Naga back to their senses. Taking advantage of the shock, Lin Xiao immediately issued Divine Revelations to the Murlocs and Blackscale Naga separately.

The Murlocs immediately scrambled to their feet and swiftly retreated to their tribe. The Blackscale Naga gathered together, and Lin Xiao selected one Blackscale Naga among them who looked pleasing to the eye and had the highest level of faith. He temporarily appointed it as an Apostle and conveyed his will to it.

Whether Murlocs or Blackscale Naga, all of them were at least True Believers. The effect of the Divine Revelations was very obvious. Obediently, one side returned to the tribe while the other returned to the place where they had just descended.
