"What do you mean by this?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye said slowly: "Strictly speaking, it is impossible for anyone to create a race out of thin air. This kind of thing is not as simple as going against the will of heaven. Such a thing will definitely be suppressed by all forces! But
, some things become different in Shenshu Ridge."
"Why is it different?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye said: "Take the tree people as an example. You said they want to become a race, but they are not created by family. They use seeds as media and dead people as their basis. They want to take root in a corpse."
Above it, grow a life of your own..."
"...even these seeds, strictly speaking, they are just side branches. They are like the branches of a towering tree, only a very small part of their origin. Therefore,
Strictly speaking, they are not created out of thin air."
Speaking of this, Li Qiye paused and said: "However, this involves a brand new attempt, a whole-body race. For example, if you are about to die, you separate your limbs and let your body
It becomes another part, and this part starts over, reproduces anew, or even treats it as a brand new blueprint that can be used as a reference for you in the future."
"So, the tree people are all puppets, and their origin must be traced back to them in the end." Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and couldn't help but say.
"Yes and no." Li Qiye shook his head and said: "Although these seeds have their origins, it does not mean that their origins are controlling them, but that the origins allow them to make an attempt.
They are reborn, allowing them to form a race and a civilization. And their origin is just a reference for them. As for how far the tree people can multiply, it is difficult to say."
"Then can tree people become a race?" Ye Xiaoxiao was very curious.
What an incredible thing it is for a seed to multiply into a race. It has its own home and its own civilization, just like the enchantments, sirens, tree tribes and other races.
"It's hard to say." Li Qiye looked at the tree people walking in front and said slowly: "If they can become a race, they must go through at least three generations. If they cannot pass on to the next three generations, they will not succeed. At least, in theory.
That’s how it is said.”
"Three generations? What kind of third generations?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked.
Li Qiye pondered for a moment and said: "The first generation is the first generation. The one in front of me is the first generation. Zhongzi got into the corpse and transformed into a tree man!"
"What about the second generation?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked.
"The second generation is the combination of the two first generations. This requires a long process. Although the first generation has transformed into a tree man, if it wants to pass on, it must ignite its own life in such a body.
Only if such a corpse has its own life and bloodline, can it be passed on to the next generation..." Li Qiye said slowly.
"...But, as a dead person, if you want to ignite life, have your own bloodline, and then pass on this bloodline, the chance is unimaginably low." At this point, Li Qiye's eyes became deep.
"They can find living people and burrow into their bodies. That's okay, right?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"That's different." Li Qiye shook his head with a smile and said: "What you are talking about is parasitic. It does not turn its bloodline and body into its true own. The seeds are parasitic on a living body.
In the body, it will be resisted by the host. Even if the tree people want to pass it on, the host's bloodline and instinct will easily kill their bloodline and inheritance! Therefore, even if the seeds get into the body of a living person, they must kill them
Only the host can transform."
"...This is just like seizing a body. If you can seize a body casually, then I don't know how many god emperors and immortal emperors can live forever. Just like the monks, everyone's true
Fates are different. Even if someone robs your real life and replaces it, your life palace and his real life will still resist each other. A person's three souls and seven souls are born. This kind of thing
You can’t take someone’s body just because you want to…”
"...So, do you think a small seed can successfully seize the body?" Li Qiye shook his head and said: "They must kill the host. In plain words, use the host's body as fertilizer.
Let it grow on its own, that’s the fundamental thing.”
"What will happen to the second generation?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"The second generation is difficult. It is difficult for the second generation to appear." Li Qiye shook his head gently and said: "Although the first generation of tree people can ignite life, in the final analysis, they still cannot get rid of the body of the dead.
In a sense, they are still dead, even if they are not dead, they are still half-dead!"
"Half-dead man, it is basically impossible for you to give birth to a new life!" Li Qiye said: "In the second generation, the chance of truly giving birth to a new life is so small that it can be ignored. Therefore, in the second generation, inheritance
Down the line, they cannot become intelligent beings, so the failed inheritance will turn them into tree corpses! This is something else."
"Tree Corpse!" Hearing such a name, Ye Xiaoxiao gasped.
Li Qiye nodded and said: "Yes, tree corpses, they are the failed products inherited by the tree people, but they are very powerful and can be easily killed when encountering tree corpses. Tree corpses, they have no intelligence and are walking corpses.
!”
"What if the second generation inheritance is successful?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say hypothetically.
"If the second generation succeeds, then they will be born with flesh and blood. In a strict sense, they will have souls when they are born. This is the biggest difference from their parents! The second generation can
It is said to be the prototype of a race. Of course, under the premise of success." Li Qiye said solemnly.
"Does the third generation mean success?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye nodded and said: "If there is really a third generation, it can indeed be said that a brand new race was born. If the third generation is inherited successfully, they will have the characteristics of their own race. They will
They will be freed from the constraints of the tree people's bloodline. When that day comes, they will be truly free and they can leave the Divine Tree Ridge!"
"Leave the Divine Tree Ridge?" Ye Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Does it mean that the tree people can only live in the Divine Tree Ridge?"? "That's right, have you seen the tree people in other places in the Tianling Realm? No.
." Li Qiye said with a smile: "Think about it, with a seed and a dead body, how can you let them survive for decades or even hundreds of years or even thousands of years? They either take root or have the ability to survive.
Intelligent ones, in addition to digesting some memory traces of corpses, they must also rely on the origin to a large extent. Without the origin, they just cannot survive, and they cannot support the inheritance of the entire life."
Having said this, Li Qiye smiled lightly and said: "If you want to become a brand new bloodline, you must get rid of the constraints of bloodline. If you cannot get out of the Divine Tree Ridge, you will never be able to become a true race."
"Has any tree man walked out?" Ye Xiaoxiao stayed for a while, came back to his senses, and said.
"For the time being, I haven't heard of it." Li Qiye shook his head gently and said, "In fact, over the millions of years, there have been very few second generations."
"So, it's impossible for them to succeed?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"Not necessarily." Li Qiye said with deep eyes, "They can keep improving until they are suitable. In fact, every new generation of first-generation tree people is improving."
At this time, the tree man had already walked outside the village at the foot of the mountain. At this time, many villagers in the village came out one after another.
At first glance, these villagers still maintain the appearance of their hosts in life, but their bodies have become woody, and some criss-crossing branches have grown everywhere on their bodies.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask when he saw these villagers walking out of the village.
"Welcome the new member of their big family, this tree man will be accepted into this big family." Li Qiye said slowly while watching this scene.
At this time, the newly born tree man was a little confused and at a loss. However, his instinct drove him to walk towards the village and these villagers.
At this time, an old man looked tall and majestic. This old man maintained a very complete humanoid appearance. Except for the wooden area between his eyebrows, it was difficult to tell the difference between him and a living person.
"It should have been from the Sun Sect before it was alive, and it should have been an elder-level figure." Seeing that the old man was still wearing the clothes he had when he was alive, and looking at the waistband on his body, Ye Xiaoxiao said with some surprise.
This old man seemed to be the village chief. With him as the leader, he led the villagers to welcome the new tree people.
"Be careful, they know how to perform exercises." Li Qiye said to Ye Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"Can they practice?" Ye Xiaoxiao said unexpectedly.
"They have digested the traces of the host's life and inherited some things from the host's life." Li Qiye said: "For example, the master's behavior during his lifetime and some of his memories. Of course, not every tree man can inherit it.
, and what they inherit is not all of them, but many of them are certain fragments, whether they are memories or techniques."
At this time, the village chief led the villagers to greet him. The village chief held the hands of the new tree man and showed a happy smile.
It's hard to imagine that the tree people transformed from dead corpses now look like living people of other races, and they also have seven emotions and six desires.
