100: Chapter 100 Unlocking the Wisdom of the Familia

One training, one refinement; two A-grade divine kingdom buildings perfectly complement each other, forming a closed loop.

Outside the main Myriad Beasts Martial Arena, they honed practical combat experience, integrated battle formation coordination, raised the combat power of all members, and solidified combat attributes.

Inside the main Blood Fiend Furnace, it revitalized all discarded resources, mass-produced nourishing essence, solidified the physical foundation of the vassal race, and ensured stable advancement.

From then on, Lin Ye's divine kingdom completely formed a perfect closed loop of [cultivation - battle - consumption - recycling - nourishment - advancement], with no shortcomings, no waste, and no bottlenecks, making his growth system completely complete.

First, he organized all the remaining reward resources obtained from this tournament.

Aside from the two A-grade buildings that had already taken effect, there remained a large amount of high-grade fiend crystals, divine kingdom nourishing supplies, low-grade evolutionary secret treasures, and general cultivation resources.

These resources were not of low grade; in the hands of any proud prodigy, they would be a rare foundation blessing, but to Lin Ye nowadays, they already appeared somewhat tasteless.

His divine kingdom's carrying capacity had long since completed a tenfold transformation, yet it still followed the ironclad rule of valuing quality over quantity.

The divine kingdom's carrying capacity had an upper threshold; blindly piling up resources and overflowing the race would only lead to the dispersion of heaven and earth origins and the dilution of spiritual energy and fiend force, dragging down the growth speed of high-grade vassal races and lowering the upper limit of the overall foundation.

Hoarding too many redundant resources in the divine kingdom would not only fail to amplify combat power, but instead cause origin congestion, resource waste, and even slightly disrupt the balanced order of the divine kingdom.

With a resolute mind and without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye directly categorized, organized, and packaged this batch of high-grade resources that he could not use and whose hoarding was of no benefit, intending to allocate all of them to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu's divine kingdom foundation was weak, carrying capacity insufficient, and resources scarce; he was in urgent need of these supplies to solidify his vassal race's foundation, temper their physical bodies, and elevate the race's scale.

Delivering this batch of resources would happen to make up for Wang Hu's biggest shortcoming, allowing his vassal race's combat power to complete a leapfrog enhancement, steadily keeping pace with his own growth rhythm, and becoming his most reliable side-by-side combat power.

After dealing with the redundant resources, Lin Ye cast aside distracting thoughts, sank his mind completely into the divine kingdom, and began pondering the current core and most concealed fatal shortcoming—the vassal race's spiritual intelligence.

His gaze slowly swept across all the vassal races under his command.

The widespread clusters of Xuanyin Nether Shadow Hounds and Shahun Hounds, the rampaging and killing Sha-Swallowing Pythons, the Pestilence Mosquitos circling the sky, the Illusion Pupil Foxes hidden in the forest, and the Counter-Injury Armored Turtles guarding the defense line—even after undergoing eight years of precipitation, skyrocketing combat power, ultimate physical tempering, and their bloodline grades firmly residing at S-grade, they could never break free from the shackles of living creature instincts.

The spiritual intelligence of ordinary vassal races was merely equivalent to a four- or five-year-old mortal child.

They knew how to kill, devour, obey the master's orders, and coordinate with basic battle formations, but they did not know how to think, adapt, deduce tactics, or respond flexibly to emergencies.

All combat methods were entirely driven by instinct; fierce and domineering, they lacked agility and strategy, possessing ultimate physical bodies and boundless combat power in vain without being able to unleash 100% of their combat power.

Even for the leader-tier vassal races of his several major ethnic groups, after countless battles and tempering, bloodline purification, and eight years of time nourishment, their spiritual intelligence barely reached the level of a seven- or eight-year-old child.

Placed within the vassal race systems of peers and prodigies, this spiritual intelligence appeared exceptionally naive and exceptionally backward.

Deep in Lin Ye's heart, he clearly compared the vassal race systems of various top prodigies in the Federation, a hint of solemnity flashing across his eyes.

Nowadays, Federation prodigies cultivating vassal races and charging towards the true god realm had long formed a mature system.

The core vassal races of the vast majority of prodigies were mostly humanoid, high-intelligence races, naturally mature in mind, meticulous in thinking, well-versed in tactics, and knowing how to cultivate autonomously, without requiring excessive control from deities, and could autonomously deduce combat techniques, grind battle formations, and optimize cultivation paths.

What was even more crucial was that others advancing to the true god realm only needed three hard conditions.

First, the divine kingdom's territory area met the standard; second, the divine kingdom's carrying capacity and law stability met the standard; third, the accumulation of the race's faith power was sufficient.

With all three conditions ready, one could naturally break through to the true god realm, and the vassal races would simultaneously complete a divine nature transformation, with their overall combat power leaping layer by layer.

Yet Lin Ye was different.

His vassal races were all ferocious beasts and fiend spirit categories, naturally violent and warlike, with ultimate physical bodies and ferocious combat power, yet they were born with incomplete spiritual intelligence and insufficient spirituality.

This meant that while others only needed three steps to break through to the true god realm, he had to take one more crucial step—awakening the vassal race's wisdom.

If spiritual intelligence was not awakened, the vassal races would forever be ferocious beasts that only knew how to kill, unable to condense faith or comprehend the Dao laws.

No matter how vast the divine kingdom's territory was, how formidable the carrying capacity was, or how abundant the resources were, he would forever be tightly stuck outside the threshold of the true god realm, unable to complete the final breakthrough.

No matter how strong the combat power was, it was merely a pile of brute force from a group of mindless ferocious beasts, with the upper limit locked down tightly.

This was his current most concealed and fatal growth shackles.

Having figured out this key layer, Lin Ye completely settled on his core cultivation direction for the next stage—prioritizing raising the vassal race's spiritual intelligence and making up for the shortcoming in wisdom.

His gaze fell upon the three thousand intelligence genesis fruits in his inventory.

This batch of top-tier rare resources from the tournament specifically targeted the transformation of living creatures' spiritual intelligence, spirituality, and divine soul comprehension, making it the only key to breaking his current predicament.

However, how to feed, who to feed first, and how much to feed at once needed careful deliberation.

Feeding everyone brainlessly was too wasteful.

Ordinary vassal races had weak foundations and insufficient bloodline grades; opening excessively high spiritual intelligence all at once could easily lead to problems where the divine soul could not bear it, spiritual backlash, and origin disorder, resulting in losses outweighing gains.

Low-grade vassal races only needed steady nourishment and step-by-step enhancement of spiritual intelligence, without wasting the precious genesis fruit.

The optimal plan was to break through from the top layer, using points to drive the surface, while also seeing which vassal race's wisdom improved the most.

First, let the leader-tier high-grade vassal races complete their spiritual intelligence transformation, giving birth to mature minds, understanding tactical strategies, and possessing independent thinking abilities, and then have the leaders drive the overall race's integration, advancement, and transformation, gradually raising the spirituality of the entire race.

After thinking over and over, Lin Ye already had a decision in his heart.

Not rushing into batch feeding, he would first do an experimental transformation.

With a thought from him, the divine kingdom's void stirred slightly, and four leader-tier vassal races whose body sizes far exceeded their peers, with stern auras and thick bloodlines, slowly crawled out.

They were respectively the leader of the Xuanyin Nether Shadow Hound race, the leader of the Sha-Swallowing Python race, the leader of the Illusion Pupil Fox race, and the empress of the Pestilence Mosquito race.

The four leaders were currently the strongest in combat power, thickest in foundation, and most stable in divine soul within the vassal race system, and they were also the optimal candidates most suitable for taking the lead in awakening spiritual intelligence and bearing the power of genesis.

Lin Ye raised his fingertip slightly, and four crystal-clear, glowing intelligence genesis fruits floated in mid-air.

Their fruity fragrance was clear and moist, containing pure spiritual origin, and they slowly landed in front of the four leaders.

"Swallow and refine."

As the cold divine sense command fell, the four leaders obediently bowed their heads without a shred of hesitation, opening their mouths to swallow all the intelligence genesis fruits into their bellies, and quietly crawled in the core area of the divine kingdom in front of Jinghun Hall, beginning to precipitate and refine while quietly waiting for their spiritual intelligence to transform.

Lin Ye sat upright in the void of the divine kingdom, his gaze calm, quietly observing the transformation process.

He wanted to see what level of transformation this top-tier rare intelligence genesis fruit could make the spiritual intelligence of this group of ferocious beast vassal races achieve, and whether it could truly make up for the biggest shortcoming in his advancement to the true god realm.
