"What do you mean by that?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking.

Li Qiye said slowly: "Strictly speaking, it is impossible for anyone to say that they created a race out of thin air, this kind of thing is not just as simple as going against the sky, such a thing will definitely be suppressed by all forces!" However, some things have become different in Shenshu Ridge. ”

"How is it different?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

Li Qiye said: "Take the tree people as an example, you said that they want to become a race, but they are not created by home, they use seeds as a medium, and then the dead are the foundation, they want to take root on a corpse and grow their own life......"

“…… Even these seeds, in the strict sense of the word, are just side branches, they are like the branches of a towering tree, they are only a very small part of their origin, so they are not created out of thin air in the strict sense. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qiye paused for a moment and said, "However, this involves a new attempt, a whole body race. For example, if you are going to die, you separate your limbs and make your body another part, and this part starts anew, multiplies anew, and even uses it as a new blueprint for you to use as a reference in the future. ”

"In this case, the Treants are all puppets, and they must eventually be traced back to their origins." Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and couldn't help but say.

"Yes and no." Li Qiye shook his head and said, "Although, these seeds have their origins. But. Not that way. Their origin is manipulating them, but the origin is for them to try, to regenerate them, to form them as a race, to form a civilization. And their origin is only a reference to them. It's hard to say how far the Treants can go. ”

"Can the Treants become a race?" Ye Xiaoxiao was very curious.

A seed multiplies into a race. It's an incredible thing to have your own home, to have your own civilization, just like the Phantoms, Krakens, Dryads, and so on.

"It's hard to say." Li Qiye looked at the tree people walking in front of him, and said slowly: "If they can become a race, they will go through at least three generations, and if they can't pass on the next three generations, they won't be able to succeed." At least, in theory. ”

"Three generations? What about the three generations? Ye Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Qiye groaned for a moment. said: "The first generation, for the first generation. Like the one in front of you. It's the first generation. Zhongzi burrowed into the corpse and transformed into a tree man! ”

"What about the second generation?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked.

"The second generation is the combination of the two first generations, which is a long process. Although the first generation said that it had transformed into a tree man, then, if it wants to pass it on, it must ignite its own life within such a body, and only by having its own life and its own bloodline within such a corpse can it be passed on to the next ......generation," Li Qiye said slowly.

“…… However, the chances of a dead person wanting to ignite life, have your own bloodline, and pass it on are unimaginably low. Speaking of this, Li Qiye's gaze became deep.

"They can find living people, burrow into living people, isn't that okay?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.

"That's different." Li Qiye shook his head with a smile and said, "What you said belongs to parasitism. Instead of making it its bloodline and body its true own. The seed is parasitic in a living body, it will be resisted by the host, and even if the treants want to pass it on, the host's bloodline and instinct will easily kill their bloodline and inheritance! So, even if the seeds burrow into the body of a living person, they must kill the host in order to metamorphose. ”

“…… This is the same as taking away, if you can take away casually, then I don't know how many god emperors, I don't know how many immortal emperors can live forever. Just like a monk, everyone's true life is different, even if someone robs your true life and replaces it, however, your life palace and his true life will resist. A person's three souls and seven spirits are innate, and this kind of thing is not something that can be taken away if you want to......"

“…… So, do you think a small seed can make a difference? Li Qiye shook his head and said, "They must kill the host, in plain words, use the host's body as fertilizer water, and then let it grow on its own, this is the fundamental." ”

"What about the second generation?" Ye Xiaoxiao said curiously.

"The second generation is difficult, it is difficult to have a second generation." Li Qiye shook his head lightly and said, "Although it is said that the first generation of tree people can ignite life, but, in the final analysis, they still can't get rid of the shell of dead people, in a sense, they are still dead people, even if they are not dead people, they are also half dead people!" ”

"Half-dead, you give birth to a new life, that's basically impossible!" Li Qiye said: "The second generation really gives birth to new lives, and their chances are so small that they can be ignored. Therefore, in the second generation, they cannot become intelligent beings, then, the failure of the inheritance, this will make them tree corpses! It's something else. ”

"Tree corpses!" Hearing such a name, Ye Xiaoxiao took a breath of cold air.

Li Qiye nodded and said, "That's right, tree corpses, they are the failed products of the tree people's inheritance, however, they are very powerful, and when they encounter tree corpses, they can be easily killed." Tree corpses, they have no intelligence, they are the walking dead! ”

"What if the second generation succeeds?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say hypothetically.

"If the second generation is successful, then it is born with living beings and physical beings, and in the strict sense of the word, they are born with souls, and this is the biggest difference from their parents! The second generation can be said to be the prototype of a race. Of course, on the premise of success. Li Qiye said solemnly.

"The third generation means success?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking.

Li Qiye nodded and said, "If there is really a third generation, then it can indeed be said that a new race has been born." If the third generation is successful, they will have the characteristics of their own race, they will get rid of the shackles of the treant bloodline, and when the day comes, they will be truly free, and they can leave the Sacred Tree Ridge! ”

"Leaving Sacred Tree Ridge?" Ye Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Could it be that the tree people can only live in the Divine Tree Ridge?" ”?“ That's right, have you seen a tree man anywhere else in the Celestial Spirit Realm? Not really. Li Qiye said with a smile: "Think about it, with a seed and a dead corpse, how can you let them survive for decades, even hundreds or even thousands of years?" They either have the wisdom of survival as soon as they take root, in addition to digesting some memory traces of the corpse, to a large extent, they must also rely on the origin, without the origin, they just can't live, they can't support the inheritance of the entire life. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "If you want to become a new bloodline, you must get rid of the shackles of the bloodline, and if you can't get out of the Divine Tree Ridge, you will never be able to become a real race." ”

"Have any tree people ever gone out?" Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while, came back to his senses, and said.

"For the time being, I haven't heard of it." Li Qiye shook his head lightly and said, "In fact, for millions of years, there have been very few second generations. ”

"So, they can't make it?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.

"Not necessarily." Li Qiye's eyes were deep, and he said, "They can be improved all the time until they fit, in fact, each new generation of first-generation treants is improving. ”

At this time, the tree man had already walked beyond the village at the foot of the mountain, and at this time, many villagers in the village came out one after another.

At first glance, these villagers still maintain the appearance of their hosts, but they have become wooden, and some forked branches have grown all over their bodies.

"What is this for?" Seeing these villagers walking out of the village, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.

"Welcome to their family, and the Treant will be accepted into the family." Li Qiye looked at this scene and said slowly.

At this time, the newborn tree man was a little dazed and a little overwhelmed, but instinct drove it towards the village, towards the villagers.

At this time, an old man looked tall and mighty, and the human form maintained by this old man was very intact, except for the woodenness at the center of his eyebrows, it was difficult to see what difference he had from a living person.

"It should have been born in the Sun Sect before its death, and it should be an elder-level figure." Seeing that the old man was still wearing the clothes he wore before his death, looking at the waist ornament on his body, Ye Xiaoxiao said with some surprise.

The old man looked like the head of the village, and with him as the leader, he led the villagers to welcome the new treemen.

"Be careful, they can do the exercises." Li Qiye said to Ye Xiaoxiao with a smile.

"They'll practice?" Ye Xiaoxiao said unexpectedly.

"They digest the traces of the host's life and inherit some of the host's life." Li Qiye said: "For example, the Tao of the shrinking master before his death, some memories of the shrinking master before his death, of course, not every tree person can inherit it, and moreover, they inherit not all of them, many of them are a certain fragment, whether it is memory or exercises. ”

At this time, the village chief led the villagers to greet him, and the village chief held the hands of the new tree man and smiled happily.

It's hard to imagine that the Treants who have transformed from dead corpses at this time seem to be not much different from living people of other races, and they also have seven emotions and six desires.

This is a very strange and terrifying scene! (To be continued.) )
