Creating Living Beings

In the education system of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, or rather, the Mountain Folk, university is a very special level.

First, universities are not part of the 30-year compulsory education system.

Under Li Boyang's deliberate guidance, the Mountain Folk ' perception of "university" has always been that it is an option.

In particular, the range of academic options is incredibly diverse, from the possibility of attaining Dao Proving to how to increase food production—all fall within the scope of university education.

Secondly, universities are different from primary and secondary schools where textbooks and courses are fixed.

Li Boyang never made excessive demands or interfered with university textbooks or courses.

Each teacher can design a course for their students based on their own strengths and interests.

Similarly, students can apply for classes based on their own interests and hobbies.

Even after Li Jingshu became the president of Hundred Lands University, she only forced students to take the courses "Basic Cultivation" and "Ideological Education".

Once students have passed all nine courses, including these two, they are eligible to graduate.

In this respect, universities in this world are completely different from universities on Earth.

Perhaps it's the change in mindset brought about by the pursuit of immortality...

Or perhaps it's the continued impact of abundant resources on mindset...

In any case, there are quite a few individuals among the Mountain Folk who have spent three or four decades in university.

Of course, such special cases exist only in a very small number of universities run by Mountain Folk, including Hundred Lands University.

In universities established by other races or gods, although there are no academic years required, students are usually forced to graduate within five to ten years.

After all, they are not as wealthy and powerful as the Mountain Folk, and they don't care about the resources consumed by these students.

The continued expansion of the [Mystic Garden Barrier], the major trend of agricultural industrialization, and the dominance of various Divine Ability Law Technique...

With the current grain production of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, feeding the entire world's population would not be a problem.

In fact, the Mountain Folk already have a project to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

Unfortunately, this project is far more difficult than the "Cloudtop Heavenly Palace Project." The requirement for environmental adaptability alone has stopped all individuals below the level of gods.

"So, your main task now is to teach a group of alien races and monsters how to transform into human form?"

Looking up at the enormous statue of the Dao Ancestor in the center of the main hall, Li Boyang could hardly hide the strange look on his face.

This isn't because the statue of the Dao Ancestor doesn't resemble him; on the contrary, it's because it's so incredibly similar, almost identical to Li Boyang's original appearance. In other words, this statue of the Dao Ancestor was definitely built by someone he knew.

Considering that this is the training ground for the "Transformation Course" at Hundred Lands University, it is self-evident who created this statue of the Dao Ancestor.

"There's nothing we can do; the Technique of Transformation has always had an extremely high barrier to entry."

"Spending more than ten years learning to transform is already quite difficult for the vast majority of alien races."

"I don't even expect them to go any further. As long as they can honestly transform into a complete human form, I'll consider them graduated." As he slowly walked out of the main hall, Deception Rabbit looked at the huge square in the distance and sighed.

Jade, totems, skeletons, models, and even lifelike sculptures of various creatures...

There were all the tools and space needed for practicing Technique of Transformation, but there were very few students learning there.

The very few students observing the statues and attempting to transform themselves were mostly non-human alien races or spirits.

Their requirements for the Technique of Transformation are very simple.

That means that after transforming into human form, without losing any limbs, one would not even consider truly Myriad Transformations Divine Ability.

"I think you're setting your expectations a bit too high."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the main hall, Li Boyang had a different opinion.

"The Technique of Transformation doesn't necessarily have to start with changing one's own body..."

"More important than a solid foundation and promising prospects is to pique their interest and lower the barrier to learning."

Upon hearing this, Deception Rabbit couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

Do you have any thoughts?

Deception Rabbit had no doubt about Li Boyang's teaching ability.

This is someone known as the "Dao Ancestor." If he doesn't know how to teach, then no one in this world knows how to teach.

Deception Rabbit simply wanted to know, if the Technique of Transformation didn't start with changing the body itself, where else could it begin?

"Your line of thinking is correct; whatever living thing is most familiar with is always its own body."

"But have you ever considered that even if you dissect the skeleton, muscles, and meridian system in the most detailed way, it's still like cutting open their own bodies?"

Not everyone is like you and me, able to make this kind of change without fear.

Deception Rabbit did not interrupt Li Boyang; instead, he fell into deep thought.

"Just like the students you teach, no matter how determined they appear, subconsciously they will fear their own bodies... 'alienation.'" When he finished speaking, Li Boyang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to use the word "alienation."

Neither the Thousand Transformations Divine Ability nor the Transformation Method is a powerful Divine Ability that cannot be mastered in one go.

Especially when one's skills are not yet proficient, physical deformities are a very normal phenomenon.

Even with their master Deception Rabbit, who was proficient in the Thousand Transformations Divine Ability, watching over them, they would still take every detour and endure every hardship they were meant to experience.

At most, in terms of safety, they are only slightly more secure than those who learn through trial and error on their own.

"So you mean, we should tell them to give up trying to change their physical form in the first place?"

Snapping out of his reverie, Deception Rabbit asked as if he had just realized something.

In terms of talent and intelligence alone, Deception Rabbit is not particularly outstanding among the many prodigies in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

But as the spirit who had followed Li Boyang the longest, his basic comprehension ability was still able to keep up with the version.

"Yes, just like this..."

As he spoke, Li Boyang suddenly turned his gaze to the candle on the stone pillar beside him.

The next second, Li Boyang lightly tapped his fingertip, and the candle actually changed shape.

In the not-so-hot candlelight, a winged fire serpent yawned deeply, as if it were a real creature born from the flames.

"This is the most basic deformation, and it is a deformation of intangible things."

"The next step can be jade, metal, anything you can think of."

"Then comes the transformation between substances, turning jade into metal, water into fire..."

Hearing this, Deception Rabbit no longer needed Li Boyang to continue his guidance and took the initiative to continue the conversation.

"After the changes in form and quality, the next natural consequence is a change in the substance itself."

"While this lengthens the time required to learn the Technique of Transformation, it significantly lowers the barrier to entry and maximizes students' interest."

As Deception Rabbit spoke, he curiously craned his neck to examine the fire serpent born from the candlelight.

In a flash, as if sensing danger, the fire snake suddenly flicked its tongue at the Deception Rabbit and hissed almost threateningly, "Huh? It actually came back to life?"

Ignoring the burns caused to him by the flames, Deception Rabbit quickly reached out and grabbed the fire serpent by its vital spot.

"Have you really reached this point?"

"A casual act of enlightenment actually created a life?"

Feeling the fire serpent struggle in his hand, the curiosity on Deception Rabbit's face gradually turned into disbelief.

"Wait... it's not just life, it's actually a completely new race!?"
