Race: Small Fishman

Category: Sub-human Species

Rank: Low-grade race

Profession: None

Talent: Fishman Tyrant Body (Fake)

Skills: None

Expertise: None

Constitution: 3 (1 point for an adult human)

Strength: 3 (equivalent to the strength of two adult men)

Agility: 1.5/3 (land/water)

Spirit: 3 (born with a certain level of spiritual power, could potentially become a caster with some guidance)

Evaluation: A powerful aquatic species, more powerful than their Fishman relatives

Newly born Small Fishmen are still categorized as a low-grade race, yet upon maturing, they are equivalent to Level 2 beings, which is a considerable improvement over their predecessors.

Owing to their status as a low-grade species, their potential cannot surpass that of Level 3 species. However, after numerous modifications, the current Small Fishmen have not only reached the genetic limit of their species but also have uniform abilities. Upon advancing to Level 3, their individual attributes can be comparable to slightly weaker Level 4 beings of medium races, especially with their powerful pseudo Tyrant Body that rivals many mid-level species.

With the addition of an Ancient Treasure’s attribute enhancement, they can reach the limit of Level 4 species, truly an extraordinary breed.

Despite this, since the newly adjusted bloodline originates from the Supreme Naga, the Small Fishmen lose the path of evolution to Fishman Magicians upon promotion. Only mature Level 2 Small Fishman warriors can advance to Level 3 Fishman warriors.

The basic lifespan of a newly born Small Fishman is 50 years once they reach adulthood, with an extension to 70 years upon elevating to Level 3. Compared to the Supreme Naga’s lifespan of several hundred years, this may seem miniscule, but it’s considered exceptionally long for a low-grade species.

Furthermore, Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm is enhanced with the Divine realm Ancient Heaven Card, further increasing the lifespan of all Clan members in the Divine Realm by 20 years.

A total lifespan of at least 70 to a maximum of 90 years is quite extraordinary among low-grade species.

It is worth noting that after the latest bloodline modification, since it derives from the Supreme Naga, the appearance and stature of Small Fishmen have changed dramatically from their past form.

Now, adult Small Fishmen have an average height of about two meters, with robust bodies and limbs, and their fingers are more dexterous, allowing the use of various complex tools and weapons.

Their bodies are covered with a layer of scales resembling dragon scales but are only as fine as fish scales; their tails are also smaller and more similar to those of the Supreme Naga. Most importantly, their heads are no longer shaped like fish heads, but instead, a downsized and more ambiguous version of a dragon’s head, without horns, and also less fearsome than those of a giant dragon in appearance – that is to say, they lack visual impact.

One could say that the newly shaped Small Fishmen no longer bear any resemblance to Fishmen from the outside, and anyone who sees them would not consider them Fishmen but rather a sub-species of the Supreme Naga.

“Lesser Naga?”

Lin Xiao stroked his chin, feeling that the original name no longer suited them; they indeed resembled a miniaturized version of the Supreme Naga.

“Alright, we’ll call them Lesser Naga! It fits perfectly that Lesser Naga evolve into Supreme Naga!”

He immediately decided to officially rename the newly born Small Fishmen to Lesser Naga.

Having completed the adjustments for the Lesser Naga, Lin Xiao moved on to the main event, establishing an evolutionary link between the two bloodline-related species, Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga.

The method was simple: place the species cards of both Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga into the Creation Rubik’s Cube, then retrieve the previously stored Dragon Clan evolutionary system.

This entity had no physical form but rather resembled an intangible existence similar to a rule, which could only be preserved by the constraint of Powerful Divine Power using the Magic Cube, and would instantly dissipate if entrusted to mortals.

Without the Creation Magic Cube, at least a Creator with Medium Divine Power would be required to even attempt establishing an evolutionary link between two species, an act that is inherently a high-end Creation Law activity, something beyond the consideration of most True Gods.

If anyone knew that this high schooler, who wasn’t even a Demigod, was employing such high-end techniques at this stage, they would presumably never believe it.

Correct, not merely surprised, but downright disbelieving, they would think you were joking.

Utilizing the Creation Magic Cube, Lin Xiao began an act of creation that even True Gods couldn’t partake in. As a constant flow of Creation Energy infused into the Dragon Clan evolutionary system, his will immersed into the Magic Cube, attentively sensing the Creation Law as the system slowly integrated into the Lesser Naga species.

Creation, Creation.

This act was a genuine act of creation, naturally resonating with the Creation Law, and by observing these resonances, one could gain an understanding of the law.

By observing this high-end act of creation, Lin Xiao’s comprehension of the Creation Law progressed by leaps and bounds.

“`

In just a short while, the mastery of the Creation Law increased from 4.84% to 4.85%, as a series of profound knowledge related to creation appeared out of nowhere in his mind and was firmly grasped.

At this moment, Lin Xiao felt as though he was soaring through an ocean of knowledge, countless previously unknown and obscure pieces of knowledge about creation flooded into his mind. Knowledge that had once been opaque and elusive now suddenly became clear, as if he had been enlightened with the essence of understanding.

Building an evolutionary chain between two species is a very advanced method of creation, only possible for dedicated creation gods with a God Level of at least 10 to barely achieve. Those not dedicated might attempt it with powerful divine powers, but that would just be an attempt, without any guarantee of success.

After all, there are so many races in the world, but very few actually have evolutionary chains.

Lin Xiao, who wasn’t even a demigod, had repeatedly engaged in such high-end creative acts, which was akin to copying directly from the answer sheet during an exam, causing his score to soar incredibly.

Unaware of the passage of time, when Lin Xiao returned to his senses, the construction was already completed.

The first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to check the Magic Cube Space. The Dragon Clan evolutionary system had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga Species Cards lying quietly in the fog of Creation Energy.

His gaze fell upon the Lesser Naga Species Card, and a new talent that he had never seen before appeared before him.

Talent: Bloodline Evolution.

Properties: The Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga have the same bloodline origin. When certain conditions are met, the Lesser Naga can evolve into a Supreme Naga.

A simple statement, yet it signified that the Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga had officially established a bloodline link; from now on, provided certain conditions are met, a Lesser Naga could evolve into a Supreme Naga.

As for the so-called conditions…

One is to advance to the species’ maximum potential at Level 3, then endure numerous battles to accumulate a wealth of combat and species experience, thereby having the chance to initiate a bloodline leap and potentially evolve into a Supreme Naga.

Every Lesser Naga has only three opportunities for bloodline leaps in its lifetime. Generally, the first time has the highest success rate. If the first attempt fails, although two more chances remain, the probability of success diminishes with age and declining condition. If the three bloodline leaps all fail, then it will be impossible to evolve for the rest of its life.

Overall, the chances of evolution are uncertain now, and the success rate does not seem very high.

However, for a Lesser Naga, having the chance to leap over the dragon’s gate is quite impressive. At least there’s an opportunity to change destiny, which is much stronger compared to before.

Looking at his own attribute panel, as expected, the mastery of the Creation Law had increased significantly, by nearly three percent. Now, he possessed a 7.42% mastery of the Creation Law, an extremely exaggerated growth.

At the same time, the Rule of Truth increased by 0.2 percent; this was because creation is also a part of truth. The more rules and laws he mastered, the more truth he possessed, naturally leading to growth.

Having mastered over seven percent of the Rule of Truth is not just for show, but…

Let’s just say that Lin Xiao can now begin simple species modifications relying solely on his abilities, without needing the Creation Rubik’s Cube.

Creating new species might be a stretch—it would be mostly limited to non-intelligent beasts and others like them, and he couldn’t yet create various potentially highly intelligent species.

But this is a good start. What cannot be done now might be possible in the future.

Next, while the Children of Nightmare’s Divine Realm had not yet fully connected with his own, it was time to reload the Lesser Naga and Supreme Naga cards back into the Divine Realm.

Especially for the Lesser Naga, since the species had undergone a significant change, they needed to undergo metamorphosis.

Fortunately, this didn’t take much time and could be completed before the full integration of the two realms.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xiao saw that he still had one hundred forty-four units of Creation Energy left and silently stowed away the Giant Dragon Bloodline Inheritance and Dragon Language Magic systems.

Just creating this evolutionary chain had consumed over a hundred units of Creation Energy, and the remainder was definitely insufficient to load the other two systems.

As the Lesser Naga Species Card was reloaded, all the Small Fishmen in the vast Divine Realm entered a state of metamorphosis, and numerous cocoons of evolution appeared within the Divine Realm.

Whether old Fishmen or Small Fishmen, whether Fishman warriors or Fishman magicians, all entered a state of metamorphosis at this moment.

After the metamorphosis, more than twenty thousand Fishman magicians will disappear from the Small Fishmen, all transforming into Lesser Naga warriors, a completely melee occupation.

However, this is only temporary. The current Supreme Naga do not possess any magical talents, but once the Dragon Language Magic system is loaded and the Supreme Naga fully integrate all the Dragon Clan talents, a unique bloodline magician system can be built based on the Dragon Language Magic system exclusively for the Lesser Naga.

Just as Kobolds occasionally awaken as Kobold Dragon Vein Magicians, the Lesser Naga will also awaken as Lesser Naga Magicians.

Perhaps due to being a low-grade race, the Lesser Naga’s metamorphosis process was very rapid. In less than an hour, the first successful metamorphosed Lesser Naga appeared before Lin Xiao’s eyes.

The cocoon of metamorphosis cracked open like an egg, revealing a Lesser Naga about two meters three in height, covered in fine scales, with a dragon head and limbs, resembling a Half-Dragon Man.

As the first Lesser Naga hatched, more and more successfully metamorphosed, and Lin Xiao was surprised to discover that in the Sea of Gods, those numerous lines representing the Lesser Naga’s Power of Faith suddenly thickened and expanded as each Lesser Naga metamorphosed.

The Power of Faith they provided had increased.

Upon comparison, Lin Xiao found that if the former Small Fishmen provided about a third of a Human’s Power of Faith, the current Lesser Naga could provide about half of a Human’s Power of Faith.
