A golden spirit.

This is what Kevin sees now, the appearance of the Possessed Spirits before him.

It has a human-like appearance, and its shape is clearly the result of careful design.

The woman has a slender, graceful body, and her face is not strikingly beautiful, but rather gentle, kind, and tender like a mother's.

Her slender body wasn't curvaceous, but rather had a smooth transition.

The spirit also manifested clothing resembling a robe, covering its body, with its hair coiled at the back of its head.

In terms of appearance alone, the woman in front of me is the epitome of a loving mother.

Was it specifically designed based on human preferences?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Kevin shook his head; it was unlikely.

Just as Red Spirits only realized her immense malice towards humans upon first seeing them, Golden Spirit couldn't possibly have known about humans beforehand. In other words, they originally had this appearance.

To be honest, Kevin hadn't really observed Red Spirits's appearance carefully before because of the battle.

Because the other person is constantly changing, it's difficult to determine what their true appearance is like.

Biscuit and the others looked at each other. Although they were reluctant to say it, the other person's appearance and demeanor naturally made humans lower their guard.

Golden Spirit looked at the group, then her gaze fell on Biscuit. She took a few steps forward, knelt down, and took Bisky's hand with a loving smile on her face.

"Human, it's nice to meet you."

Biscuit was a little confused by the other party's actions, but she immediately realized what was happening. Her expression turned ugly, and she pulled her hand back, her body instantly growing larger.

She rarely reverts to her original, strong form anymore, because even in her teenage form, she can still unleash her full power.

Golden Spirit stared blankly at his now-strong physique, but still wore a smile.

"I'm not a child," Biscuit said with a hint of helplessness.

This was the first time she had deliberately revealed her true self because of something like this.

In the past, if someone mistook her for a child, she would just be happy.

But now that she's facing other races and being treated like a child, she's unhappy.

"I'm sorry, I used to feel a natural sense of familiarity when I saw you, but that's gone now."

Golden Spirit speaks frankly.

However, this action made them all understand what kind of emotions Golden Spirit might have been born from.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably about pregnancy, Sacrifice, and love. That's why the other person looks like a loving mother.

If we only consider the quality of positive extreme emotions based on quantity, then the Specialization of mothers and similar emotions in humans are probably the most abundant.

After all, everyone has parents, and most mothers have similar Specialization to some extent.

For a mother, the emotions she exudes are mostly positive and uplifting.

Given a sufficient number of mothers, it's not surprising that such a Golden Spirit would be born.

Of course, it is quite possible that this Golden Spirit in human form was born from this emotion.

Golden Spirit adjusted her emotions. Just like Red Spirits, she was also affected by her emotions when she saw humans. She naturally reached out and took Kevin's hand, holding it in her hands.

This action is like a mother checking on her child.

"I apologize for Piao Piao's behavior. She was born from extreme human emotions, so she instinctively feels malice when she sees humans."

"This is determined by our racial characteristics, and it's difficult for us to control, so please forgive them."

The other person held his hand, but Kevin didn't pull it away; he just left it there.

Physical contact helps him directly obtain information about the other party, even though he has already obtained information about the Red Spirits.

"We understand this, and there's no major conflict, so it's unnecessary."

Kevin said with a smile.

"That's good. I was worried when I saw you. After all, we Possessed Spirits are born from the emotions of worldly beings, and we are inevitably swayed by those emotions. And human emotions account for a certain proportion of all the emotions of all beings."

Golden Spirit murmured to herself, then withdrew her hand and turned to look at Men Qi beside her, naturally taking her hand again.

Men Qi instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but seeing that Kevin hadn't pulled his hand back earlier, she could only awkwardly control herself.

"We look exactly alike. I've heard before that Possessed Spirits born from the emotions of a certain race will inevitably change when they encounter the corresponding race."

"I had some expectations back then, I never thought I'd actually meet you. Did you just arrive here recently?"

"With such a huge amount of effort put in, you must have quite a few individuals here. Do you feel that this place is dangerous?"

Her tone was clearly concerned.

Men Qi didn't answer; instead, she looked at Kevin with pleading eyes.

Kevin looked at Golden Spirit.

"You were also affected by your emotions."

These words seemed to remind the other person, and Golden Spirit withdrew her hand, stood there stunned for a moment, and then shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, compared to Red Spirits's malice, my natural curiosity and concern are indeed hard to detect."

Kevin observed from the side and discovered that the biggest difference between the Golden Spirit and the Red Spirits was their control over their emotions.

Even Lord Level individual like the Red Spirits can't help but radiate malice when encountering humans, and even if the other party tries to control it, it still can't help but feel a little bit of malice.

However, Golden Spirit's concern for humanity could be easily suppressed with just a slight reminder or deliberate control. It's hard to say whether it's an individual difference or a difference between branches.

When Golden Spirit showed a sufficiently friendly attitude, Kevin and the others also lowered their guard and quickly started chatting together.

Then they learned that the Possessed Spirits lived in a grove of tall trees, not particularly dense, to the northeast of their landing point.

Middle.

There was a swampy pond there, covered with vast fields of giant flowers, and they were born from among the flowers.

The flower that gives birth to them is their home.

"As for the branches, besides the Red Spirits you see, there are gold ones like mine, as well as green, white, and the rarest black ones."

Faced with Kevin and the others' curiosity and exploration of the entire Possessed Spirits clan, Golden Spirit surprisingly did not hide anything.

Or rather, these aren't really secrets, since this group has existed in this region for an unknown amount of time, and all the long-standing groups and individuals know about this intelligent group.

"We are a recognized race, but our primary recognized Lord is Green Spirit named Sen Sen."

Kevin had some suspicions about this.

Because whether it's Red Spirit or Gold Spirit, although they possess the aura of a recognized lord, it's clear that the mark was given by someone else, just like Kevin gave the mark to Little Gem and the others. It's equivalent to telling the others in the Sky Overlord's territory that this is a member of a recognized lord's clan.

However, this mark is only somewhat useful within the territory of the Sky Overlord; once outside the territory, it may only pose a threat.

Even in the territory of the Sky Overlord, safety isn't guaranteed; some passing Lords won't be interested in someone who doesn't leave any trace of their presence.

Interestingly, you happen to have a mark on someone, and if that sparks their interest, it's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Through casual conversation, the group roughly understood the emotions generated by each color of spirit.

Why is it a green spirit that is recognized as the Lord?

Because the green spirit was born from a love of nature.

The golden spirit was born from a certain selfless emotion.

The white spirit is the most stable, born from a mixture of emotions.

The red spirit, needless to say, is born from the emotions of battle, war, slaughter, and cruelty.

Black spirits are the rarest and the only ones without Lord; they are born from an emotion of absolute destruction.

According to Golden Spirit, if a human encounters a black spirit, it's best to keep their distance.

They try their best to keep the black spirits from leaving the territory of their tribe, but some always manage to sneak away.

Outside, these black spirits wreak havoc, even carrying out massacres, driven by pure destructive urges.

This is why black spirits are the rarest, because they will cause trouble and be killed as soon as they leave the Spirit Ground, and they will never live long enough to grow into Lord.

The human form only appears in three colors: gold, white, and red.

Red was the most common color, with as many as ten.

In other words, the total number of human-shaped Possessed Spirits across the three colors is no more than thirty, yet they still rank fourth among all races.

There are nearly two thousand Possessed Spirits in total, so you can imagine how bizarre and varied the appearances of each individual Possessed Spirits are.

Faced with Golden Spirit's curiosity, Kevin and the others provided some information about humans.

Overall, quite a few people know detailed information about humanity. Dragon Turtle, Piercing Ghost Slash Ghost all obtained detailed information about humanity through various channels.

"So it was in the middle of the lake? It's truly remarkable that you were able to establish a secluded settlement in such a place."

Golden Spirit was somewhat surprised.

Is it dangerous there?

Men Qi asked, seemingly aware of some details about Lake Mobius through the Possessed Spirits.

"We've been here for a very, very long time, long before the Winged Gods even appeared here."

That's a very long time ago.

Upon hearing this, Kevin immediately asked, "So, you witnessed the growth of the Winged God?"

After all, the current Sky Overlord is Overlord- level being; theoretically, there should be a Monarch Level being in between.

To everyone's surprise, Golden Spirit shook her head.

"The boss here wasn't at the Deity Level before, he was probably Demigod. He was a Thunderbeast that could release lightning all over its body, and he was huge, like a mountain."

"I'm just lazy. I generally don't move. I naturally absorb the thunderstorms from the sky every day, so it doesn't matter whether they're there or not."

o

Upon hearing this, Kevin, Biscuit, and the others exchanged glances, vaguely guessing where the Thunderbeast Beast's corpse was.

"Later, for some reason, the Thunderbeast disappeared and never walked in its territory again. It probably died, after all, it did not reach the Deity Level."

"According to the oldest ancestors of the tribe, the Thunderbeast was already very old when they were born. Later, after an unknown period of time, the leader of this tribe became the Winged God."

At this point, Golden Spirit noticed the Cat that had somehow appeared and was now crouching down beside her.

Golden Spirit's eyes widened in surprise, for she hadn't even noticed the other person's arrival.

"Why are you looking at me? Keep talking, I'm curious too."

Golden Spirit had no choice but to continue, "The Winged God is different from the Thunderbeast. He was deeply involved in the formation of the territory, established the rules, and cleaned up some of the beings within the territory."

"The powerful individuals of certain races were chosen as recognized Lords to help govern the territory, and we were born after that. So, as far as I know, it has been the gods who have governed this territory."

Kevin keenly noticed something about this.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Lord Level human spirit should be the earliest human spirit to be born.

In other words, human spirits were born long after this territory had become highly orderly and planned under the rule of the Sky Overlord.

In other words, this corresponds to the period when humans arrived at the islands in the middle of the lake and began to multiply, which is several thousand years ago.

When they witnessed the Sky Overlord before, they never sensed any signs of aging from him, meaning he was probably in his prime, or even a young man.

However, for Overlord players, time is no longer an issue.

"So, the Sky Overlord, who is already at the level of Overlord, chose this place as his territory?"

Biscuit murmured.

However, the Cat suddenly pointed out, "Not necessarily. Although I don't know how to become Demigod or a god, I do know that you don't necessarily have to become a Demigod to become a god."

These words drew everyone's attention to it.

"I just know that, and if you ask me why, I don't know either. I've just heard about it."

Cats are powerful, outsiders who have traveled to many places in search of fun.

And so, Golden Spirit started hanging out with them.

Even though she was able to suppress her emotions, she still maintained a curious and friendly attitude towards humans.

Just as the Red Spirits is inherently hostile to humans, the Golden Spirit is inherently friendly towards them, so this is a good thing for Kevin and his friends.

And so, the remaining months passed quickly, and the entire Oasis became increasingly lively.

Kevin and his companions, as newly arrived intelligent races with recognized Lords, began to travel among various powerful groups and individuals under the guidance of the Cat and the Golden Spirit, getting to know them, until the tournament approached.

"You said you saw a race that looks just like us?"

Men Qi was studying the ingredients when she heard what was being said next to her and immediately thought she had misheard.

"Yes, yes, I saw it."

The creature speaking beside them resembled an elephant, except its ears were enormous, flapping like wings, making it look like a small flying elephant. It spoke in a muffled voice.

"Really? You're not seeing things, are you?"

Because of differing aesthetic standards for different species, many people may not be able to distinguish true humans.

People who resemble humans are often categorized as human; for example, someone with long arms, legs, and a slender body is considered a human.

As for whether the other person looks strange, don't worry about it. Even if they don't have a head on their head, it doesn't matter.

This is how many races are distinguished, and it's really not something to be proud of.

But since the other party had said so, Men Qi still stood up and followed them.

Soon they spotted their target and followed a group of Frogs.

"Gold?!"
