Cloud Thinking

"That's the first thing. The second thing I want to ask you is what the seeds you cultivated are all about."

Tang Yaoxing was not at all flustered by the questioning, and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you last time that I left you a little gift, don't you like it?"

Helia frowned and shouted, "You call that a gift? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

Tang Yaoxing raised his hand and pressed it down facing Helia, signaling her to calm down.

"Although it is an immature divine body, it also contains a lot of magic power. At least Fengze is very concerned about it and has invested a lot in it."

"You have the power of devouring. How can that not be a gift to you?"

"I can't do that!" Helia really wanted to curse.

"I see that you can even bite your own uncle, so why can't you bite these bodies without souls?"

"What a picky eater."

It was unclear whether Tang Yaoxing was stating the fact or being sarcastic when he said this.

"Never mind, it's already ruined." Helia didn't want to argue with Him about this meaningless issue.

"Is your purpose in cultivating seeds to create backup bodies for yourself?"

Tang Yaoxing nodded, then shook his head.

“I did have this thought at first, but then I changed my mind,” He explained.

"Life and death are determined by fate. If I really have to die, there's no need for me to stay alive. It's uncomfortable to make myself neither human nor ghost."

"Fengze took the initiative to take charge of the seed matter. He seems to have run into big trouble. I guess he saw that his death was imminent, so he wanted to build a new body for himself."

"He came to me and convinced me. Then I went to Ian Hill and the three of us did it secretly."

"But Ian Hill said that you created this so-called divine body because you wanted ordinary people to have the power to protect themselves before the day of destruction came." Helia continued, "Are you lying to Him?"

Tang Yaoxing was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, "Did He tell you that?"

Helia nodded.

"You were lying." Tang Yaoxing said, "We told him clearly when we recruited him to join us. We wanted to keep a batch of spare bodies for ourselves, so that we could have a way out."

"I guess I was afraid that you would be angry, so I made up such a ridiculous excuse to fool you."

"If we gods hadn't been fighting for it, how could there be a day of destruction? Why would those ordinary people have to die with us?"

"And they said it was to protect them... That's ridiculous."

I knew that Ian Hill was full of lies and never told the truth... Helia thought.

Perhaps she had already guessed that the other party was a double-faced person, so Helia was not particularly angry, but just accepted it all calmly.

"Then you just let me destroy the seeds, aren't you afraid that Fengze will cause trouble for you?" she asked again.

"Just him?" Tang Yaoxing sneered, "He might be in trouble now, how can he have the time to bother me?"

"Don't worry, even if I didn't tell you about the seed, it wouldn't last long."

He raised his hand and pointed upwards, "Some important figures have already noticed this. They will not allow such things that disrupt order to exist."

"I thought since I couldn't keep it anyway, I might as well give it to you. At least my hard work wouldn't be in vain."

"Who knew you didn't get my meaning at all? You wasted so much magic power. I'm so heartbroken."

He covered his heart and pretended to be calm.

Helia just pursed her lips speechlessly and gave him a middle finger.

"But remember to hide the girl you left behind and don't let Fengze find her." Tang Yaoxing reminded.

She was really upset that her every word, action and move was known to others.

But she couldn't say anything or stop anything.

"I'm curious, how do you make these seeds?"

Helia couldn't understand how these soulless, self-aware bodies were born.

It can't be cloning, there is no such amazing technology in this era...

"I don't know about that either. It was Fengze who did it." Tang Yaoxing replied, "The power of life is more mysterious and strange than you can imagine."

"Then what role do you play in this?" Helia felt that Tang Yaoxing was fooling her, wondering how could he know nothing about anything.

Tang Yaoxing said: "I can transform magic power into a special form, a form that even ordinary people without talent can use."

"But the process is very complicated. It can be said that even though I put 100% of my magic power into it, after the conversion process, only 30% of the output was obtained, and the success rate was only 40%."

"But this form of magic is unstable and prone to mutation, so the final results will be greatly reduced and the efficiency is terribly low."

He held up two fingers and continued, "Of the batch of seeds you saw, I estimate that only 20% can reach the level of a god's body."

Helia sorted out the information she had obtained and analyzed, "In other words, the process of your seed cultivation is roughly that Fengze creates a batch of soulless bodies, and then you are responsible for putting that special form of magic power into them, waiting for the magic power to merge with the body and stabilize."

"And Ian Hill is responsible for moving the seeds to avoid being discovered?"

"It's basically correct, but there are some deviations." Tang Yaoxing corrected, "Special nutrients are needed during the seed cultivation process. Ian Hill is responsible for transferring the seeds to designated places and helping the seeds absorb nutrients."

"What special nutrients?" Helia was alert and seriously suspected that this nutrient was not something real.

But as soon as she saw Tang Yaoxing's expression, she guessed what He was going to say, "You don't know either, right? Is it Fengze who did it?"

Tang Yaoxing nodded. "I only know that during this period, Ian Hill often went to the southern continent. I guess it was Fengze who came up with this weird thing."

"I have one more question."

Helia still remembered that a group of them were there pondering the magic circle on the fourth floor. She remembered clearly that in addition to the magic circles related to seed cultivation, there were also magic circles for confinement, restraint, and peeping.

Their guess at the time was that someone had kept something captive here.

Indeed, Tang Yaoxing and others are raising seeds.

But the problem is that the seeds are not yet mature, and those floating in the seeds are in a coma. If there is no external force to break them open, they will not wake up.

And even if it wakes up, it can't break through its own body or the seed shell to escape, it will only drown inside.

In short, the seeds don't move.

What are these binding spells binding? Is it binding the big fruit that breeds the seeds?

What about the big fruit?

Also, those scholars are wondering whether it is a defense mechanism used by seeds to protect themselves, or is it just a by-product of seed cultivation.

“Is this really the first batch of seeds you have grown?”

She had a serious and solemn expression, and it was clear that she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

Tang Yaoxing stared at her quietly for a few seconds, and finally compromised and told the truth: "This is indeed not the first batch."

"Those scholars you saw before were the earliest experimental results."

"And the failed experiment left a mess behind. The scholars turned into a curse and spread it, mainly among me and Fengze's followers."

No wonder... No wonder Camelin suddenly changed after she died. It turned out to be because of this...

However, Britney explained at the time that this was because Cameron had been watched by the gods, and the curse came from the wrath of the gods, so what was going on?

"The first time we tried this was over a hundred years ago. At the time, we were really confident and determined to succeed," Tang Yaoxing explained as he recalled.

"But due to various accidents, it didn't work out, and all of our believers were cursed..."

"Although the seeds were destroyed and the source of the curse was removed, the curse on the believers was not completely dispelled. Instead, it continued in a way that even I cannot explain."

"But fortunately, the curse didn't spread much, and the impact wasn't that big, so we didn't care about it anymore."

"Then it evolved into something like, if a believer who has been watched by the gods dies, it will arouse the gods' anger and the body will be transformed."

"In fact, it is just the evil left behind by the first batch of seeds."

That's it...that's it!

It all makes sense at once!

"Then why are there still smart people in this experiment? Could it be that they haven't solved the problem before?" Helia asked again.

"Of course not." Tang Yaoxing gave Helia a look that said, "Can you use your brain?"

What kind of thing can survive so long without dying?

"We made improvements based on the first experiment. This time, with the experience of failure, we succeeded." He continued.

"It's just that there are errors in the experiment, and there are many unexpected things. I only have a tiny success rate in converting magic power. Why do you think it will be easy for Fengze to create that soulless shell?"

"What you have seen is still relatively few. We have killed several batches in front of us. The binding magic array we set up there is to trap those scholars who were born by accident."

"Then why does the summoning magic circle awaken when I inject magic power into it? What is the function of the summoning magic circle?" Helia still remembered that time when she was naughty.

"They are very sensitive to magic power and like to devour it." Tang Yaoxing replied, "And the summoning magic array summons guards and hunters."

"In order to deal with the scholar spirits, we have specially refined several special magic creations to guard the seeds and hunt down the scholar spirits."

"But I didn't expect that these smart people would develop some wisdom and work together to eat the magical creations in the summoning magic circle, and devour the magic power sent to other magic circles."

"Seeing this, we directly moved the seeds away and stopped supplying magic power."

"Without magic power, the elves will be quiet. After all, they can't absorb natural elemental power for transformation."

"Why not destroy it?" Helia said.

"This is one of our strongholds. We put a lot of effort into it. There's no guarantee that it won't be used again someday, so we just leave it idle for now." Tang Yaoxing was really impressed by this house-demolition madman and explosive geek.

At this point, the matter regarding seeds has come to an end.

Helia raised three fingers and said, "The third thing is about the Fitros family."

"Why do you always order them around? Do they have some mysterious secrets?"

Tang Yaoxing raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said with a smile: "What do you need to explain?"

"I don't have many people I can use, and they are the best among them. They are loyal and obedient, and they are willing to work hard. So is there any problem if I squeeze them a little more?"

"You know, the Philosos Society does not believe in the God of Wisdom itself, but only pursues the truth."

"At best, I am just a wise emissary. I cannot drive them."

"Only those crazy pagans worship me as a god, and they are cruel enough to kill even their own people."

Helia laughed twice, "Then should I be thankful that a guy like you didn't become a capitalist..."

Tang Yaoxing waved his hands, his expression somewhat complicated, "I have been one before, but was killed by the workers who revolted. I won't mention it now."

This time it was Helia's turn to laugh.
