Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Plan to Create a God
The Second Generation Blood Mosquito is indeed one of the most mysterious species in this world. In Kaizhu Village, they are born with unstable genes and a strong variability, which allows them to supplement their own genes by sucking the blood of other creatures and stealing their abilities. After three cycles of growth, they solidify their own genes and assimilate the stolen abilities, making them their own. Thus, they evolve into an entirely new species.
However, although there are many and complex factors that make individual mosquitoes stronger, the reason why the entire tribe can become strong is only one, which is to have a queen with a higher degree of evolution.
Compared to individual development, no matter how strong the individual's growth is, it is far less important than a newly born queen for a species. It is precisely because the queen has a terrifying reproductive capacity that she can bring descendants with her own genetic factors into this world through continuous childbirth, making them have the same abilities as herself from birth. In just a few generations, it can make the genes of this new species completely stable, allowing the original primitive blood mosquito tribe to rapidly complete its transformation and upgrade to a higher level.
Of course, ordinary female blood mosquitoes can also produce offspring, but genetically, they are far inferior to the Blood Queen. Even among the most evolved water witches, it is inevitable that many imperfectly evolved monsters will be born, and this requires the use of holy water to nurture the physical condition of the female water witch in order to ensure the birth of normal offspring.
And it's not 100% effective. That's why there is the saying that a strong queen makes a strong tribe. The queen has an irreplaceable role in a tribe.
However, the Blood Queen who was brainwashed by Old Liu is somewhat strange, no, should say very strange. Not only did she not fulfill her duties as a leader of her own tribe, but instead hid herself away to meditate and cultivate her spiritual abilities, walking a path that seems more like individual evolution.
The high priest was originally very puzzled, how this little guy had no signs of fertility, preparing to expand his own tribe. It wasn't until now that he realized, this little guy didn't have the desire to reproduce at all, and in order to break free from various complicated affairs and better exert its spiritual abilities, it even self-destructed its physical body during the third growth, in exchange for a significant increase in spiritual energy. At the time, if the high priest hadn't been present to maintain order, this reckless little guy would have probably turned into dust long ago. Even so, after exploding its body, Bumpkin was unable to condense back into a physical form, and the collected spiritual energy continued to dissipate. The situation was extremely dangerous. In the end, it was the high priest who couldn't bear to see this good seedling go to waste, secretly teaching it some forbidden techniques related to the soul, and passing on the practice of cultivating one's spirit that he had thought about for a long time, which allowed Bumpkin to avoid disappearing and continue living in this strange form.
Even so, this eccentric Blood Mosquito Queen still has no awakening, and continues to do her own thing, liking to meditate in quiet places. Until now, the blood mosquitoes that followed it and suffered from hunger and thirst are almost dead, it suddenly remembered that it seems to have many things left unattended, only then did it come out this time.
"I don't even know where my great general has gone, and he's actually disappeared without a word! This irresponsible bastard, he's disappointed my expectations of him! And to make matters worse, I have to do all these things myself!" The light ball suddenly said with some annoyance, sounding very indignant.
"It's clear that a mark was left, but it was recovered by that little brat who thinks the other party is his subordinate. You strange little things are really mind-boggling. And then there's that poisonous and ferocious ghost-faced spider that looks like a domesticated animal. Anyway, all of that little brat's subordinates are so bizarre. It's enlightening to see them. " After listening to the Blood Mosquito Queen's complaints, the High Priest's face turned gloomy, thinking silently with some speechlessness."
The Blood Mosquito Queen was still complaining, seemingly holding a huge grudge against Old Liu. The High Priest felt his head getting bigger and hastily changed the subject, saying with an expressionless face: "You've come out this time, have you found a source of food? I recall that not far from here, there's a large swamp where many magical beasts reside. Every day, many animals like to go there to drink water, which should be enough for your tribespeople. And also, you can get them to go to the rainforest to suck tree sap. Although it doesn't have much nutritional value, it can at least fill their stomachs."
"This, don't worry about it, I've already been there. It's indeed a nice place." The light ball paused for a moment and continued: "And where I was, I also found traces of other blood mosquito tribes."
"Oh, this is quite troublesome. The Blood Mosquito tribe has a strong sense of protection for their own territory, and if you want to stand firm there, conflicts with them are probably unavoidable." The High Priest said casually.
Mubang said in confusion: "Conflict? No. I've already subdued them."
The high priest stared blankly, suddenly lifted his head and said with a strange expression "What did you just say? You've subdued the blood mosquitoes of other tribes? Don't tell me you're deceiving me, blood mosquitoes only obey their own tribe's queen!"
"Isn't it enough if we just control their queen?" The light sphere flickered, saying doubtfully: "Don't you even understand such a simple truth?"
"This is impossible, you haven't...!" The high priest's eyes widened before he could even finish his sentence. Behind the light ball that had transformed into a clumsy shape, he indeed saw two white and plump creatures, which seemed to be newly born Blood Mosquito Queens. The high priest looked again carefully, and only then did he say in disbelief: "How did you do it? Is it mental projection? Or perhaps soul control? Spiritual control is a rather advanced ability in the spiritual system."
The light sphere sulked: "Why are you looking so surprised? Have you forgotten, didn't I teach you all these things? You humans really have short memories."
"When did I ever teach you these things?" The High Priest exclaimed, and after saying that, a flash of insight suddenly appeared in his mind. He suddenly woke up and was surprised to say: "Could it be that you have understood the theories I taught you by yourself? So you can self-destruct your physical body?"
"I've said it all. The flesh will only restrict the extension and development of my spiritual abilities, I must discard this useless shell to maximize my abilities." A cold voice came from the light ball, followed by another sentence that made the high priest spit blood: "Such a simple ability, I don't know why you're so surprised."
The high priest smiled wryly and said: "Alright,"

"Ordinary blood mosquitoes, no matter how many there are, what's the use. I control them, naturally wanting to produce more offspring through them, supplement my troops. According to my calculations, it won't take long for my clan to fully recover its original numbers." Guang said with satisfaction.

The high priest patted his own head, stunned by the cleverness of this little guy. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Good idea. What do you want to do then?"
"Of course, I'm going to cultivate even more powerful elite soldiers. My original guards were really too weak, and when they encountered danger, they couldn't protect me at all. So now, I want to cultivate a batch of powerful guards. When my great general returns, I'll give him a big surprise." Xian said with a pleased smile: "I've already thought it through, first I'll create two types of soldiers. Let this queen obtain the super-ability steel armor, after three evolutions, her offspring will specialize in this ability and can be cultivated into my new guards. Another queen must obtain two or more elemental abilities, which can later cultivate extremely powerful explosive soldiers."
"Wait a minute!" The high priest, who had studied the magic insects for so many years, suddenly felt that his brain was not enough to keep up with Bubba's wonderful plan. He couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "How do you plan to solve the problem of them gaining abilities? You know that newborn blood mosquitoes don't have the desire to suck blood at all. Even if you make a contract with them and put fresh magic beast blood in front of them, they will ignore it and won't suck it. And what's this explosive soldier you're talking about?"
"Theory is dead, once you've grasped it, the things you said are fundamentally unimportant. You don't even think about it. They're all under my control. Can they still go against my orders? Do you think I'm using the same barbaric methods as you people? No, no, no, this method is not suitable for me. I want thoroughness! Efficiency! Because from the moment I controlled them, the souls of these two have been erased. Then I separated two strands of thought from myself to replace their souls, allowing their bodies to continue living. In short, they're now just two shells under my control, stupidly obeying."
The high priest only then realized that these two Blood Mosquito Queens, although still alive, had no spiritual fluctuations of their own, and their main consciousness had been erased by someone, becoming two puppets controlled by others. For a moment, he couldn't help but fall silent: "I didn't expect... to use this method..."
"I don't know how you humans think. Something so simple, yet you make it so complicated. If I do it this way, won't it be successful immediately?
Take these two, for example. The Blood Mosquito Queens. Their foundation is poor, and they can't withstand the energy contained in the Super Beast's blood. They can only gain abilities by absorbing high-level beast blood. At most, their offspring will only have high-level abilities, but there won't be much development.
However, if I use my spiritual powers to deceive their physiological state, creating an illusion that they are already mature, and let them start laying eggs on a large scale after their second growth... then I can ensure that their offspring also gain abilities while retaining the three growth stages of the Blood Mosquitoes. This way, they will continue to grow stronger.
Perhaps each time it's only a small increase, but after dozens of generations, their offspring will be able to continuously purify the bloodline they've absorbed, and they'll definitely break through the original Blood Mosquito's innate weakness. Ultimately, they'll reach the height of growth that those ancient gods had."
"YOU!!!!!!" The High Priest was shocked and lost his color, being stunned by this Blood Mosquito Queen's absurd idea, his heart was shaken like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time. He stuttered: "Terrifying, too terrifying! According to your words, wouldn't that mean we can manufacture divine offspring without any restrictions!?!"
"The higher the individual's rank, the weaker their fertility will naturally be. Moreover, the strength of their souls is not enough to compare with my great general."
Even if they gain the ability, in most cases, they can't survive three evolutions and advance to a high-level evolved body. So these unstable guys can only become my explosive pawns, said with some frustration.
"According to what you said, it's already terrifying. The growth cycle of the blood mosquito, from birth to maturity, is only about two months, with dozens of generations updated. At most, it won't exceed thirty years. Even if the success rate is small and pitiful, but under the premise of an extremely large individual base, continuous breeding can screen out more perfect individuals from tens of thousands of bodies! As long as ten can succeed, they are ten innate powerful gods! What a shocking situation!" The high priest said excitedly, his whole body trembling with excitement, and he even slapped his own thigh, staring at the flashing lights and saying: "Damn it! I really didn't think of it! You're the real genius! My god. I've been moved by your plan! How about it, are you interested in being the guardian totem of my tribe? Haha, as long as you agree, there will be privileges!"
Don't be silly and don't even think about it. He actually rejected me outright.
"Why?!" The high priest shouted, grabbing his hair and struggling to find words. Ready to deceive this terrifying Blood Mosquito Queen into joining forces.
"My great general has told me that you, an old human, are very cunning and like to deceive people. He also said that you like to swindle others with empty promises. I am only allowed to follow you to learn from you, but I must not agree to anything else you say. Although I don't know what 'swindling with empty promises' means, I can guess it's not a good thing. Moreover, as a human, you are indeed very cunning, and I shouldn't easily agree to anything. If there's something important, wait for my great general to return, and you can discuss it with him yourself."
"That! That little scoundrel! I've helped him so much already!" The High Priest's face changed, first gritting his teeth and speaking, then innocently looking at the Blood Mosquito Queen floating in mid-air, a smile hanging on his face. He shamelessly said: "I've taught you so much, and even saved your life once. How can you not trust me? If I wanted to harm you, would I have done all this?"
He said with certainty, "It won't be stupid."
The high priest's face lit up with joy, just as he was about to speak and unfold his grand plan. However, the Blood Mosquito Queen continued: "However, the abilities I've evolved are quite special. After shedding my physical limitations, their effects become even stronger. Not even spiritual super-beasts can achieve this. Moreover, after hearing my plan, your reactions before and after were like two different people, with your mental fluctuations increasing by several orders of magnitude, and still haven't calmed down to this day. According to my calculations, you're so eager to sign a contract with me and make me the guardian totem of your tribe because you've taken a liking to my abilities. Am I right?"
The high priest smiled wryly and said, "Alright, alright. Just follow me. You won't come to any harm, I assure you. By the way, I have seven divine cultivation methods here that directly point to the throne of the Magic God King. Would you like to try them? As long as you cultivate to the semi-divine level, you can reassemble your physical body and become immortal. After condensing into a divine form, you can transform into an ancient magic god, moving mountains and seas, freely roaming the starry skies, and becoming almost indistinguishable from those ancient beastly entities."
The light ball shook slightly, looking a bit nervous, and after hesitating for a long time, it weakly asked: "Is there a spiritual system?"
"Hmph! I have it, no matter what system it is!" The high priest was also reckless now, and the whole person looked like a wicked old man holding a lollipop to lure little girls, excitedly saying: "Is it the spiritual system? Spiritual system?? Ah, my nine snakes have abilities in the spiritual system, and after practicing, they can even control other seven kinds of elemental energy, which is more powerful than ordinary true gods!"

"Let me think about it," said Benben, loosening up a bit, but still unwilling to give an immediate answer.
"Enough of that! These methods are the most suitable for you. They were tailor-made for you!" The High Priest's words were filled with saliva, and he blew his trumpet loudly: "My seven paths to divinity are modeled after the ancient era, when the Seven Dragon Gods sat on the throne, creating a set of divine laws that surpass those in the human world by countless times. They are not restricted by any three-system abilities. Once you condense into a divine form and transform into the Nine-Serpent Body, you will be able to master all eight abilities and achieve an indestructible body. Can't you see that this is far superior to your solitary meditation practice?"
"But I still want to cultivate my explosive bomb, a bit more difficult to say."
"What a joke, those explosive soldiers! How much power do they really have?" The Grand Priest's face turned red with rage, waving his hand and shouting: "Do you think they can compare to my Divine Ascension technique?!"
Benben immediately became displeased and retorted, "How many hardships are there on the path to becoming a god? Do you think I don't know?! Even with the correct method, without 100-200 years of time, it's likely that there won't be much achievement. My explosive bombs are powerful! As long as their full power is unleashed, even half-god level strongmen can be killed."
The high priest almost choked to death, and then said in shock: "What did you say? Say it again! What is this explosive soldier of yours? Can even kill a half-god level strongman? Do you think they are made of paper or something? Or do you think your explosive soldier is some kind of divine artifact? How can it possibly have such great power?"
The dull and unimpressive smile said: "Two opposing elemental abilities are the easiest to conflict with each other, let them be quiet and still. Once used, they may bring a huge burden to the user's body. In case of improper control, it will even trigger conflicts between the two, producing a huge backlash, causing the user to explode. So, what if I inject several violent energies into their bodies from the beginning? I don't need them to use these energies to fight against enemies, just need them to clash with each other in an instant when they approach the enemy, and then burst out all at once.
This is enough to produce an extremely terrifying explosive effect. According to my calculations, a high-ranking explosion soldier with both water and fire abilities, bursting out in an instant, may not be much weaker than a high-ranking magic beast's full-strength attack. An explosion soldier of this level can kill a high-ranking strongman with just ten people. A hundred can take down a high-ranking magic beast that has gone berserk. As for semi-divine beings, well, I admit that I don't know how strong they are and cannot accurately assess their strength level. But I don't believe that even if I deploy 10,000 explosion soldiers, I still won't be able to kill them! As long as they remain at the mortal physical level and haven't become divine spirits, my explosion soldiers can threaten their lives. Kill them! Even if 10,000 isn't enough, then 100,000 will do! If 100,000 isn't enough, I still have a million!
The high priest looked at the sparkling, flashing light ball in front of him, and deeply felt its terror. If this were placed in Old Liu's previous life, it would be a violent thug with anti-human and anti-world thoughts. He swallowed his saliva, and the high priest said with difficulty: "Who taught you all these things? Even if your ability to lead is high, even if you are very intelligent, it is fundamentally impossible for you to know so much."
"It's my great general, after all. He knows a lot of things. In the past when there was nothing to do, he would come to bother me every day, disturbing my meditation. Although most of what he said was nonsense, indeed there were quite a few useful things. The principle of explosive bombs was told to me by him. It's just that he only talked about it, and couldn't actually make one. This time, I want to make some explosive bombs to show him, scare him a bit." Bèn Bèn said with satisfaction, happily flying a circle in the low air, looking exceptionally happy. Only after stopping did he say somewhat worriedly: "But still feel that it's a bit of a pity."
The high priest said with difficulty: "What a pity? Do you have any other ideas, speak out. This old man can still bear it."
The dull and depressed voice said: "What a pity, the energy of the explosive soldiers. At the moment of their explosion, they can produce so much energy, it would be great if it could be absorbed. If this problem can be solved, I don't need you to teach me any divine law, I can create my own path to divinity."
Bang! The high priest fell to the ground with a thud. Almost fainting, he got up and grabbed the animal skin in front of him that had not been put away yet, his face streaming with tears: "Are you really the savior of our Barbarian Empire? Why do all these things seem to be prepared for you?! Hey, hey, little guy, don't go just yet. You said conversion... Blood sacrifice can be done!"
