Jila can only be considered a demigod.
It will take several more centuries for a true metamorphosis to occur in the essence of life.
The adult Titan Divine Race generally possesses legendary powers, and with the mastery of powerful Divine Offices and Divine Weapons, they can wield the strength of a Holy Spirit Wizard.
Currently, the three remaining Titan Main Gods in the universe have exceeded the Holy Spirit Level, reaching an extraordinary realm.
Wild Gods, however, are not as stable.
Some are weak deities barely comparable to Level Three, while others surpass the powerful Holy Spirit Wizards.
They have lowered the minimum threshold of divinity.
But they are the most numerous.
There are quite a few native gods attached to dominant powers, who take their followers to mine for these powers.
Lately, there have been rumors of unrest.
Little Coral pulled Lin Suo’s sleeve and approached the small campfire to introduce the members of this tribe to him.
"The one with blue hair is Lem!"
"The one with pink hair is Lam."
"The one who looks like a wild boar is Auntie Nairo."
"This is Grandma Pearl..."
"This is our Chief, the leader of our Sea Thorns Clan, Lady Jin Beisi!"
Lin Suo looked over them one by one.
Due to the primitiveness of their civilization, the only way to meet the demigod Jila in person was through this Chief Jin Beisi.
Jin Beisi, like a lady of high society, lifted her delicately woven thorn-leaf skirt and curtsied to him.
"Lady Mother God has long since noticed you. She dislikes those green, oily ones you’ve brought with you. However, Didi and the others have been very careful to avoid Lady Mother God’s root system..."
[So that’s how it is...]
Lin Suo silently nodded.
Being discovered by Jila was to be expected; after all, her physical form was vast, covering the entire surface of the planet, and they would be detected landing anywhere.
Ever since it was discovered that the Thorn Layers were grown from a plant with advanced intelligence, this kind of mental preparation had been made.
However, the other party had not taken any action or sought them out, maintaining a stance as if nothing had happened.
It took three days before they decided to take the initiative.
Plants represent the force of life, whereas Evil Demon Beastmen have Demon Blood coursing through their veins, and Evil Energy is the enemy of all spirits, sucking away the life force of a planet.
Causing all things to wither and life to cease.
Over time, the planet too becomes a wasteland, and it’s normal not to like the green-skinned Beastmen.
The Black Winged Demons created as expendables and cannon fodder also possess Evil Power.
From this perspective, if we want to maintain good relations with the natives,
we must expedite the improvement process of the second-generation Black Winged Demons.
"I’d like to meet her, at the very least to communicate with your Mother God, since this place is not entirely your territory."
Faced with Lin Suo’s rather aggressive remarks, Jin Beisi became quite agitated.
"I misjudged you; you are a bad person."
"To me, that is a compliment!"
Jin Beisi fell silent but suddenly appeared startled, as though she had received some message, then said with a delicate, helpless face.
"Come with me then, the Lady Mother God is willing to see you."
Lin Suo turned to order the Earth Elf sisters and the Thorny Elves to maintain good relations; they might be useful later on. Then, he followed Jin Beisi into the denser thicket of thorns.
Because the Thorn Layers are so densely distributed, sunlight hardly reaches the ground, and the Thorny Elves seem to dislike the sunlight yet favor warmth.
An odd trait, as if sunlight were harmful to them.
Lin Suo did not indulge this peculiarity.
While clarity might be clear, being human, one still prefers brightness.
"Just ahead, that’s the largest city of the Thorny Elves."
"City? Are you elves too?"
Lin Suo asked out of curiosity, because of their special racial constructs and birth methods, he had always regarded them as a scaled-down version of the Elf Clan.
That’s why he previously named them little elves, but he didn’t expect them to actually be a type of fairy.
Jin Beisi rolled her eyes.
Even her hair, floating skyward, paused momentarily.
"We are bred by the Mother God with reference to the fairy race."
"No wonder you’re so fond of Didi and Luoluo..."
Creating real life can be said to be an exclusive ability of the Divine, and even wizards rarely achieve it.
Now, a Demigod Plant could do it.
Having an advantage in kind.
At this moment, Jin Beisi’s reminder made Lin Suo notice a scene like a "Lilliputian country" appearing in front of them.
The surrounding sea thorns grew deliberately away from this clearing.
In the center, a thick vine of thorns shot up into the sky, covered with a kind of purple-red fruit, which was different from the blue fruit that was earlier served to the Earth Elves.
"The Life Cradle, the Mother God’s medium for breeding us. You can’t harvest it stealthily, otherwise you will be regarded as a mortal enemy."
"Do you trade this... Cradle? It has high research value."
[Combined with the Embryo Synthesis, it should be able to reduce the incidence of genetic diseases...]
He thought this to himself, maintaining a calm expression.
Using the Floating Technique, he floated up to avoid damaging the path they maintained...
"Look, such a big creature."
"That must be Jin Beisi, the high priestess, she’s caught a giant monster!"
"Be it the leader of the Sea Thorns tribe! That giant monster looks so delicious..."
There’s something I’m not sure if I should say, stepping on you, hmm.
Listening to these little bugs chirp.
Lin Suo suddenly felt a lot lighter, since he decided to embrace the rich emotions that belonged to humans, it was the first time he had felt this way.
It was like an invisible mountain pressing on him had suddenly been lifted away.
Looking at Jin Beisi who was leading the way in front.
Various desires within him started to stir.
[When did I abandon my original intention...]
Perhaps since the moment he learned that Padolon was about to be destroyed, he hadn’t relaxed for a long time.
Desires for good food, enjoyment, and the impulse to reproduce, which had been long absent, rose up again.
It felt... quite nice.
The two arrived in front of the giant thorn in the center of the "Lilliputian country."
There were many Thorny Elves dressed similarly to Jin Beisi, likely from different branches, with slight differences in their physical characteristics.
"Rhein, hold onto that thorn vine, the Mother God will connect with your consciousness."
After putting up mental defenses in his Conscious Sea, Lin Suo grasped it.
Instantly, he felt his perspective soar.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the entire scene of the Thorny Star, a sight he had seen from the gravitational orbit, but it wasn’t as realistic as now.
The feeling of the wind brushing past him, the astringency of the plants...
"Hello, outsider, I am the god of thorns and fairies, or you can call me by the name you’ve given me, ’Jila’"
Jila’s consciousness body, transformed into a human-like appearance, appeared abruptly, with no obvious expressions on its face.
Lin Suo smiled knowingly.
"You can call me Star Destroyer Castaga Rhein..."
