Creating Life [Requesting Recommendation Votes]

Having broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, Cheng Jue welcomed his first flowering and fruiting.

Not long ago, he had created the Seven Archons. Next, Cheng Jue planned to create a race, and he already had a preliminary idea for it.

That race would be the Elves from the Western mythology of Cheng Jue's previous life. Because of a vague premonition, he did not dare cross Nuwa.

Cheng Jue knew that Nuwa had not yet been born, and he did not wish to damage the Merit she would gain from creating humanity.

As these random thoughts surfaced in his mind, the fruits in Cheng Jue's crown were already nearing maturity.

Having experience nurturing all the plants in the Grotto-Heaven World, Cheng Jue was already thoroughly familiar with the process.

Since he was going to create Elves, Cheng Jue brought up the Elf character panel from a game in his previous life and slowly sketched it out in his mind.

Not only that, Cheng Jue also infused a trace of Merit into them. The moment he sent that Merit into the fifty fruits in his crown—

He could clearly sense faint heartbeats.

It worked!

Over the following days, Cheng Jue also imparted the foundational chapter of the Myriad Spirits Profound Light Record, a cultivation technique he had comprehended, into the Elven Race that was yet to be born.

The foundational chapter of the Myriad Spirits Profound Light Record had been developed to allow ordinary living beings to cultivate more effectively.

The creatures in the Grotto-Heaven World were neither innate spiritual roots nor innate races. They were ordinary creatures created by Cheng Jue, closer to the races that had existed during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Thus, he had specially developed the foundational chapter of the Myriad Spirits Profound Light Record. It was divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Dao Integration, Great Vehicle, and Ascension. After Ascension, one would become an Earth Immortal and could then begin cultivating the subsequent techniques of the Myriad Spirits Profound Light Record.

These were the paths he had created for the lives he made to pursue immortal cultivation and longevity.

Returning to the matter at hand, the first Elf of the race Cheng Jue had created was fully nurtured. The fruit fell into a lake beside the World Tree.

As the lake water rippled, a female Elf with a slender figure and delicate skin emerged from it. Like a newborn infant, the newly born Elf curiously observed this world.

"As expected of a race I created—elegant, beautiful, and natural." As he spoke, Cheng Jue awkwardly touched his face—if he still had a face.

Cheng Jue plucked a leaf from himself, and it drifted toward the newborn female Elf. A gentle green light flashed, and a jade-green garment appeared upon her body.

That was right. Until then, she had been completely naked.

"Thank you for your gift, Mother Goddess." The female Elf hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.

Although becoming the World Tree in this life had made gender merely an outward appearance, Cheng Jue, who had been a real man in his previous life, still found being called Mother Goddess somewhat uncomfortable.

However, he did not tell her to change the way she addressed him.

Seeing that Mother Goddess remained silent, the Elf, who had intended to remain kneeling forever, heard him say helplessly, "Rise. Since you are my child, your name shall be Skadi."

"Skadi thanks Mother Goddess for bestowing a name upon her," Skadi said respectfully.

"Very well, Skadi. Your younger brothers and sisters are about to be born. You must take good care of them from now on," Cheng Jue instructed Skadi.

Upon hearing that her younger siblings were about to be born, Skadi widened her emerald-green eyes and curiously watched the scene before her. Was this how I was born?

One fruit after another fell into the lake, followed by leaf after leaf. Skadi saw male Elves emerge from the water, all clad in cyan leather armor, each one exceptionally handsome.

The female Elves who emerged all wore emerald-green dresses, and every one of them was breathtakingly beautiful.

There were fifty Elves in the first batch, and including Skadi, there were equal numbers of male and female Elves.

Cheng Jue also discovered that the newborn Elves all possessed cultivation, though it was still far too weak.

He activated the Grotto-Heaven Pearl's authority and examined Skadi, the first Elf created by Cheng Jue.

Name: Skadi

Race: Elf

Realm: Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Stage (Not yet immortal)

Unexpectedly, Skadi had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at birth, while the Elves born after her were all at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Though such cultivation was no different from that of ants in the current Primordial World, it was nothing to Cheng Jue.

Looking at the still utterly ignorant Elven Race, he asked the two artifact spirits beside him, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Meng, who is interested in guiding this newly born Elven Race? I still need to continue cultivating. There is still plenty of energy left in my body, and I have no time to keep caring for these children. I'll have to rely on you two."

By his estimate, the energy within him was more than enough to let Cheng Jue break through to the Golden Immortal realm, with plenty to spare.

As for the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, it was not something that could be reached through the mere accumulation of energy.

Before he had even finished speaking, Xiao Meng eagerly raised her hand. "Me! Me!"

"You? Can you handle it?" Cheng Jue gave Xiao Meng a thoroughly impolite glance. In his heart, Xiao Meng was still a child of seven or eight, with a highly impulsive personality.

He did not even dare imagine what would happen if he let her teach the Elves.

Seeing Cheng Jue's doubtful gaze, Xiao Meng became furious. She waved her little fists and pounded against Cheng Jue's trunk, though Cheng Jue no longer felt anything at all.

Xiao Yi, standing nearby, giggled. "Master, stop teasing Xiao Meng. With me watching over her, I'll take good care of these children."

"Exactly, exactly." With Xiao Yi supporting her, Xiao Meng became even more confident. "Isn't Big Sister Xiao Yi here too? Big Sister Xiao Yi knows so much."

Because Xiao Yi had been Cheng Jue's phone assistant in his previous life, she possessed the authority to search the information within the World Tree. As for why Xiao Meng said Xiao Yi knew so much, it was because Xiao Yi could search information from Cheng Jue's previous life.

Cheng Jue could block this ability of Xiao Yi's, but he saw no need to. Most of the time, only Xiao Yi, as the Heavenly Dao of the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, knew best what this world needed.

Many of the plants that had been nurtured were chosen with Xiao Yi's help.

"Fine then~_~." Seeing Xiao Meng persist so stubbornly, Cheng Jue agreed to let her take the lead in guiding the Elven Race.

Seeing that Cheng Jue, her master, had agreed, Xiao Meng excitedly flew toward the Elves by the World Tree Lake.

Skadi saw a beam of golden light fall from Mother Goddess's body and transform into a tall Elf dressed in a magnificent golden battle skirt. An ochre-yellow longsword hung at her waist, though the sword had no blade.

This beautiful Elf before her seemed to be blessed with Merit, making Skadi feel utterly ashamed of herself and stirring a sense of inferiority within her.

"Are you Mother Goddess's envoy sent to guide us?" Skadi did not dare look directly at Xiao Meng.

"Yes. My name is Hongmeng. From now on, I will lead the Elven Race in surviving within this world," Xiao Meng, using Hongmeng as her alias, said to Skadi.

Seeing Xiao Meng's guidance of the Elves get on track, Cheng Jue finally relaxed. He let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Yi beside him, "Xiao Yi, keep a close eye on Xiao Meng."

"Rest assured, Master. I will take good care of Xiao Meng," Xiao Yi said.
