418: Chapter 418 The Beginning of Rebirth

After The Ark was upgraded to Lv12, its cruising speed became faster, and its perception range became wider.

Ling Xi stood on the Bridge, looking at the star map on the holographic screen: "On that star ahead, my energy perception shows a large number of life signals."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Yao Race?"

Ling Xi nodded: "Much more than the previous planet, possibly hundreds."

Qin Lin was silent for a while: "Would they be willing to board The Ark?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "They are experiencing a disaster, just like those Yao Race women back then. They need help, and The Ark needs more children."

Qin Lin took a deep breath: "Then let's go."

The Ark passed through a layer of pale purple halo and entered a new world.

Outside the window was a planet larger than the previous one, with forests covering the entire surface, trees towering into the clouds, glowing vines on the treetops, and rich energy flowing in the air.

The Ark landed on an open area. Qin Lin walked down the gangway, his feet on soft moss, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers and trees.

He looked up and saw a group of people standing ahead.

Most of them had some distinct features.

Pointed ears, tails, horns, scales, feathers; each one was different.

Qin Lin stood in place, not knowing what to say.

Leading them was a woman in a cyan dress, with amber pupils and a long cyan tail behind her, the tip of which was white.

After some introductions, these Yao Race women understood the intentions of Qin Lin and the others.

The woman looked at him: "I am Qing Yao, the Clan Chief of this forest."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Do you need help?"

Qing Yao was silent for a while, turned to consult with her clansmen behind her, and then turned back: "Our world is dying, Spiritual Qi is dissipating, the forest is withering, and the clansmen are dying one by one."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Are you willing to board The Ark?"

Qing Yao looked at him: "We are willing."

The Ark began to take in more Yao Race women.

They walked onto the gangway one by one, some wearing leaf clothes, some wearing animal skins, and some wearing soft silk robes.

When they walked past Qin Lin, he could smell different scents on them; some were like flowers, some like the forest after rain, and some like the embers of a campfire.

The System prompt sounded continuously in Qin Lin's ears.

[New passengers detected: 100 people]

[Race: Yao Race]

[comprehensive rating: 90-98 points]

[Suggestion: Establish Bonds as soon as possible to complete the More Children, More Blessings Task]

Qin Lin looked at the number "100" and took a deep breath: "One hundred."

Ling Xi stood beside him: "Many Children, Many Blessings."

There were five hundred more Yao Race women on The Ark, and the originally spacious Ark suddenly became crowded.

The corridors were lined with people, the living room was full of people, and there was a long queue in the kitchen.

Fortunately, after The Ark was upgraded, the overall space had become very large, and there were over a hundred more rooms.

Han Yurou poked her head out of the kitchen: "Brother Qin Lin, there are too many people."

Qin Lin looked at the room full of Yao Race women: "It is fine. Line up, one by one. You can buy ingredients from the System Store, it is enough for everyone."

Su Yuran was arranging accommodations in the living room: "Newcomers, please come here to register."

Li Ying lay on the massage chair, looking at the room full of Yao Race women: "Brother Qin Lin, have you moved the entire Yao Race onto The Ark?"

Qin Lin looked at her: "Their planet is dying, and they all meet the rating requirements, so there is no reason not to take them in."

The Yao Race women began to adapt to life on The Ark.

They needed to learn how to use faucets, toilets, showers, and electric lights.

Chief Bai Yao and Qing Ni took the initiative to take on the teaching work because they were already familiar with everything on The Ark.

Qing Yao stood in the living room, looking at the newcomers: "This place is safe."

Chi Yan stood beside her: "As long as you follow the rules, The Ark is home."

Qin Lin looked at the room full of Yao Race women and felt like he was a ship full of hope.

He said to Ling Xi: "One hundred. I have to establish Bonds with one hundred Yao Race women. How long will this take?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "You can do it. I will provide guidance when you need it."

Qin Lin sighed: "Then what advice can you give me now?"

Ling Xi looked at him: "Start with the one with the strongest energy; this is the most efficient way."

Qin Lin followed Ling Xi's suggestion and started with the Yao Race woman with the strongest energy.

Chief Bai Yao and Qing Ni also came to help, introducing the situation of each Yao Race woman to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin traveled between different rooms every day, establishing Bonds with different Yao Race women.

Qin Lin discovered that their bodies were all different.

Some had higher body temperatures, like a ball of Warmth; some had lower body temperatures, like a stone warmed by moonlight; some had a soft touch, like spring grass; some had smooth skin, like pebbles in a stream.

He was cautious every time, afraid of hurting them, but the bodies of the Yao Race women were tougher than humans, and they were more accustomed to this method.

Ling Xi's guidance became more and more detailed: "Her tail is very sensitive; you can touch it more, which helps to establish a deeper connection... Her ears droop slightly when she is relaxed; you can judge her state based on this... Her aura will change with the frequency of interaction; when her breathing rhythm is synchronized with yours, it means the energy exchange has reached the optimal state."

Qin Lin did as instructed, and it went smoothly every time.

There were more and more half-Yao children on The Ark.

When the new Yao Race women saw the half-Yao children who had already been born on The Ark, their eyes would light up.

Qing Yao squatted in front of Bai Yu, looking at her tail: "This child is really beautiful."

Bai Yu looked up at Qing Yao: "Who are you?"

Qing Yao smiled: "I am the same kind as you."

Bai Yu tilted her head: "Then will you stay on The Ark?"

Qing Yao nodded: "Yes, I even have a child."

One day, Qin Lin was looking at the star map in the Bridge, and Ling Xi walked in: "Qin Lin."

He looked at her: "What is wrong?"

Ling Xi sat down in the chair next to him: "The number of children on The Ark is already very large, and I feel that the energy field is becoming more and more stable."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Then how do you feel now?"

Ling Xi stretched out her hand, and a ball of pale purple light pulsed in her palm: "I feel more and more complete, like a puzzle being filled in piece by piece."

In the corridor of The Ark, children were running around, their laughter crisp.

Qin Lin stood by the window, looking at the starry sky outside, with five hundred Yao Race women and an increasing number of children behind him.

Ling Xi stood beside him: "Qin Lin, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Lin thought for a while: "Thinking about how all this started."

Ling Xi looked at him: "Of course, it started with that time crystal stone."

Qin Lin took out the white crystal stone: "You mean this is called a time crystal stone?"

Ling Xi was silent for a while: "Right, otherwise how do you think you were Reborn?"

Qin Lin looked at her: "Could it be that you made me Reborn?"

The corners of Ling Xi's mouth curled up: "Otherwise? I already said I needed someone to complete the task of having many children so that I could better achieve Recovery."

Qin Lin finally understood the reason for his Rebirth. In fact, he had guessed it after knowing about Ling Xi's existence, but he didn't expect it to really be like this.
