Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"Ah!" Yun Shan suddenly screamed, "Didn't we choose the wrong place? There are no powerful creatures here, only weaklings. Even if we take them in as followers, they will be useless."

"Before, we encountered many creatures similar to Flying Yaksha in a wetland. They were not only powerful but also numerous."

"If we had chosen to transform into a statue there, we could have taken these powerful creatures in as our followers."

Li Ming responded calmly, "Taking in powerful species as followers is indeed a feasible strategy, but I prefer to use the original divine power to create a completely new species."

"Create a new species?" Cecily's tone revealed a little surprise, "But our original divine power is limited. It may not be difficult to collect a few subordinate species, but if we want to create a powerful creature, I'm afraid we can only create one."

"Can a single creature like this really help us conquer this vast land?"

"Yes, if it dies, then we will be doomed too." Yunshan immediately agreed.

"It's certainly not possible to create a single organism. What we need to create is a group of species that can reproduce." Li Ming explained calmly, "Don't forget, this game will theoretically last for a thousand years, so we must be prepared for a long battle."

"Although taking other species as dependents can indeed help us expand our territory rapidly in the early stages, the potential and development ceiling of these creatures are obvious."

"Even if we can use the power of faith to promote its evolution in the future, the cost will most likely be an astronomical figure."

"More importantly, as a recruited follower, there may be considerable hidden dangers in terms of the piety of faith and the degree of compatibility with the power of the statue."

After listening to Li Ming's detailed narration, the other four fell into a brief silence, obviously trying to digest this information.

"Li Ming, how do you know that the statue can create species?" Yunshan's tone still contained some doubt.

"In fact, I can't be 100% sure. This does involve some guesswork, but I am relatively confident."

Li Ming paused for a moment, then continued, "Our ancestors were created. The system must have a deep meaning behind launching this kind of game. It would be strange if I couldn't even think of this."

“I see…” Cecily thought for a moment, then changed the subject, “Well, since we have already merged with the strange stone, there is no point in discussing this any further.”

"Little man, just tell us straight out what we should do next."

"Hmm..." Li Ming hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly, "Creating a new species is indeed a complicated project. Given that our original divine power is limited, we must be careful in choosing the attributes."

"First and foremost, the number of new species must be kept within an appropriate range, at least above 100, to ensure that the reproduction rate is not too slow, but not too large so that the individuals are too vulnerable."

"In addition, since the attributes of the idols we merged are different, when creating species, we can use these differences to strengthen specific advantages."

"Specifically, the species I plan to create will be more focused on intelligence. Cecily, yours can be more focused on strength. Xingmei, your species can excel in agility."

"Qiansha, your species can focus more on elemental sensing abilities."

At this time, Yunshan interrupted eagerly: "What about me? What about me? What attributes should my species focus on?"

"I have arranged you to guard the center and the large grassland next to the most fertile river. Don't you understand my intention?" Li Ming explained, "Considering your talent for the wood element, planting is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for you."

"What!?" Yun Shan was shocked. "You mean, my people are just going to farm?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Li Ming didn't know why Yun Shan reacted so strongly, but he explained it again seriously, "Your responsibilities are very important. You not only need to use planting technology to produce a large amount of food to support the rapid development of our five tribes."

“At the same time, we also need to learn medical knowledge and treatment methods to ensure that each tribe can reproduce healthily.”

"Oh... okay." Yunshan's tone revealed obvious disappointment.

She had originally envisioned a grand scene of commanding her people to fight in all directions and bravely kill the enemies, but now she has to engage in planting, medical skills and logistics work. The gap is too big.

"Little man, the problem is that we don't have such abundant original divine power." Cecily raised her doubts, "Just creating a hundred intelligent species would probably consume more than 90% of our divine power."

"If we need to make special enhancements to its attributes, our divine power will definitely not be enough."

Hearing this, the other three fell silent, quietly waiting for Li Ming's answer.

"Of course I know this," Li Ming responded calmly, "So my solution is to create a hundred ordinary species and give them a special hidden attribute."

"Give their offspring a chance to give birth to enhanced species with great potential, which we can call 'geniuses'."

"What's more, all offspring produced will also inherit this hidden property."

"Using this method, combined with the advantages of large-scale breeding, over time, it will be possible to produce a sufficient number of 'geniuses'."

"This strategy can not only help us obtain powerful followers, but also significantly reduce the consumption of divine power."

"Of course, there are disadvantages as well, which is that it takes a long time and there are relatively large risks in the early stages."

Cecily and others finally understood why Li Ming chose to take root in this land.

Although this place is relatively barren, there are no overly powerful creatures living nearby, which can help them get through the initial dangerous stage relatively safely.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time and act according to Li Ming's proposal." Xingmei finally concluded.

Afterwards, the statues dozens of kilometers apart fell into silence, but the halos they emitted became more and more dazzling, and the pressure rose sharply in an instant.

This mutation caused many animals that had been surrounding the statue to panic and flee the scene.

And those creatures further out, after sensing this sudden powerful aura, were also filled with fear and suspicion, and also fled to a farther place.
