45: Orange Talent 'Bloodline Clash'! A Way Out: Ymir's Reunion with Hydra

Su Bai knew nothing about Chen He's situation; he was currently checking the information of three cards:

[Consciousness Enhancement: C-Rank Card, capable of strengthening a creature's consciousness, making it not easily destroyed!]

[Low-Level Brain Region Evolution: C-Rank Card, has a tiny chance to give birth to telekinetic ability, strengthens the brain region, increases resistance to external consciousness, and prevents assimilation!]

[Heart of Persistence: C-Rank Card, a persistent heart nurtures the toughest soul. After use, the life will not be assimilated by any consciousness for three seconds! (Below Legendary Rank)]

Without exception,

these were all cards specifically targeting Ymir's fragile consciousness, provided by the school's funding.

Originally,

Su Bai didn't want to seek out the school, but Chen Shang had blocked the path of the chat group. At the same time, even the Creation Guild, for unknown reasons, announced that Jiangcheng lacked resources,

requiring supplies from outside the city, and temporarily ceased providing exchanges.

Su Bai, helpless,

had no choice but to approach the school.

Fortunately, the school still had some reserves, and the principal decided to place the hope of this generation on Su Bai's shoulders.

They directly opened up the resource library for Su Bai to choose from.

"Three cards: the first two are used to strengthen consciousness, and the last one is reserved for the most critical moment, to decide the outcome in one fell swoop!"

Su Bai's eyes were calm,

having made a thorough plan, but even so, it couldn't guarantee absolute infallibility.

The consciousness formed by the fusion of the Hydra and the tree of life was incredibly powerful, in some respects even comparable to a Gold Rank life form.

Compared to it, Ymir

was like an elephant versus an ant; the gap was undeniably vast. To succeed, one had to use a small force to tackle a large one, constantly strengthen defenses, and gamble on a miracle occurring!

After all,

even an elephant would feel pain if bitten in the heart by an ant.

Besides this,

Su Bai also had an unexpected gain:

[Ice Heart: B+ Rank Card, a rare card that can only be born in an ice and snow world. After use, there is a chance for the life to mutate and gain ice-attribute abilities!]

This was a gift from the little girl Jiang Ruyue,

though it was more of a compensation. If she hadn't pulled Su Bai into the chat group, Su Bai wouldn't have encountered such troubles.

But to be honest,

Su Bai didn't care about Chen Shang's provocation at all.

The two had been at odds, clashing at school and the Creation Guild, long before this, so even without the chat group incident,

something else would have surely happened.

Therefore,

Su Bai wasn't angry at all.

However, despite what he said, it was impossible for Su Bai to give up the benefits he had already obtained.

"But the Ice Heart card is useless in the current situation. I'll put it aside for now. Perhaps it can have a miraculous effect later?"

Su Bai temporarily put away the Ice Heart card.

Then,

a few more minutes passed,

finally, the simulator's voice rang out:

[simulator cooldown complete!]

Su Bai opened his eyes and used the three cards without hesitation. Three different lights merged into the simulator, and the text on the simulator changed:

[You have used "Consciousness Enhancement", "Low-Level Brain Region Evolution", and "Heart of Persistence"!]

[Since the card effects are for a single life form, please select the target: Two-Winged Seraph, Alice, Queen of Blades, Hydra...]

A string of names appeared,

Su Bai found Ymir, and after the card effects were applied, the effects of the three cards clearly appeared on Ymir's character template.

Su Bai then said, "Start a ten-pull!"

As his voice fell,

white light filled the space, like countless stars. Finally, ten different talents burst forth:

Bloodline Conflict (Orange), Iron-Blooded War (Blue), Special Ore Vein (Purple)... [Bloodline Conflict (Orange)] : Using this talent has a very high probability of causing a bloodline conflict within the race, leading to loss of sanity!

But at the same time,

there is a small chance to trigger the hidden ability 'Bloodline Fusion', allowing the conflicting parties to achieve perfect fusion!

"Perfect fusion?"

Su Bai's eyes lit up.

As expected of an Orange talent! Although the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, this small chance of a hidden ability was an existence that could be called heaven-defying!

Why did Ymir riot after fusing with the Hydra?

Besides being unable to withstand the Hydra's life essence and her consciousness being crushed, there was also a conflict between their bloodlines!

Just imagine,

how many bloodlines had the Hydra fused?

First, the Special Xenomorphs bloodline, then the Giant Tree Clan, Man-Eating Flower Clan, and Holy Beetle Clan from the Giant Tree World... and later,

it absorbed the original essence of the entire tree of life, which included many Origin Realm lives that had died in the Giant Tree World.

Adding them up,

it had already fused nearly ten bloodlines!

With such complex bloodlines, even the Hydra found it extremely difficult to maintain balance. After fusing with Ymir, these bloodlines naturally transferred into Ymir's body.

How could a mere human achieve balance?

These two reasons were the fundamental causes of the simulation failure!

"High probability of bloodline conflict, low probability of perfect fusion... I'll take the gamble!"

Suddenly remembering something,

Su Bai's originally happy expression disappeared, and he gritted his teeth, looking at the simulator.

When drawing rewards, it was all white,

but when drawing talents, orange ones appeared casually, right?

Did it want to be any more obvious???

Su Bai let out a breath,

even if he figured it out, there was nothing he could do. Regardless, Su Bai had to draw the world template.

He couldn't possibly slow down his progress just because of creation points, could he?

He could only accept his fate.

As for the Special Ore Vein's handling?

Su Bai had already anticipated it. He had already saved this talent when the last simulation ended.

He wasn't worried about it being discarded at all.

Having made his decision,

the three talents were selected.

The simulator began to run, and lines of black text appeared:

[Beginning the Journey of Creation—]

... [In the early First Era, Sacred Terra repaired the shattered Origin Realm to its original state. All things were reborn, and the Giant Continent began a new cycle of civilization.]

[The Hydra crossed the sea and buried the seed of the tree of life in the center of the world, then fell into a long slumber.]

[During its slumber, Alice led the Holy Terra Sect here.]

[At this time, primitive humans had already been born on the Giant Continent. Alice decided to accelerate human development. After leaving a portion of New Humans, she led the Holy Terra Sect to hide from the world, quietly guiding the development of civilization.]

[Time passed. Under the influence of the Holy Terra Sect, led by Alice, humans began to expand rapidly. Soon, the first city, 'Marley City', was born! This marked humanity's entry into slave society!]

[In the mid-First Era, humans learned slash-and-burn agriculture and developed bronze tools.]

[At the same time, prolonged reproduction led to a proliferation of humans, and due to long periods of scattered living, different beliefs, cities, and civilizations began to emerge...]

[Talent 'Iron-Blooded War' activated!]

[The original 'Marley', relying on its peak bronze technology, forged a large number of weapons, recruited soldiers, and launched the first war on the Giant Continent!]

[Thereafter, other tribes responded, and wars similarly broke out.]

[The Giant Continent was soon dragged into the abyss of war. Finally, after a long period of conquest, the major cities led by Marley achieved ultimate victory!]

[They each established different nations, becoming the rulers of the Giant Continent.]

[The Giant Continent entered an era of warring states!]

[But at this time, with the establishment of nations, the descendants of the New Humans left behind by the Holy Terra Sect began to gather. After a long period of wandering, they encountered another group of people.]

[Slaughter broke out.]

[The two ethnic groups fought each other for over a hundred years. During this period, several awakened bloodline members were born on the New Human side, gaining power beyond humans!]

[With the help of this power, they were invincible and successfully killed the other ethnic group.]

[From then on, they called themselves the Ackerman Clan.]

... [Late First Era.]

[Perhaps because the power of individuals was too great, all nations were unwilling to have such unstable groups within their borders. The Ackerman Clan continued to wander until one day, they arrived at the center of the Giant Continent and saw the tree of life, which had grown into a towering giant tree.]

[At the same time, they also encountered the Eldian Tribe there.]

[Slaughter broke out again, but this time, the Ackerman Clan, severely depleted after a long period of wandering, ultimately lost and integrated into the Eldian Tribe.]

[Time flowed, and several hundred more years passed.]

[World Template 'Attack on Titan' activated!]

[Titan Civilization reached its starting point, and the Ancestor Ymir appeared, entering another cycle. With the same fate, Ymir eventually fell into the tree of life's hole while being chased by soldiers.]

[She saw the Hydra again.]
