Chapter 704: Chapter 704 – The Absence of Humanity

The essence of the divine blood potion was made using Kalunu’s blood. There was no other way. The curse on the Tree Spirits originated from the bloodline and also the gods in the past. After a long time, it was impossible to trace back to the past, and no one knew which god cast the curse. Even that god himself might have already fallen.

However, even so, the power rooted in the bloodline was particularly powerful and could not be eradicated under ordinary circumstances. After all, a god was a god. The only way to eliminate it was to use a power of the same level.

Therefore, before this, despite using all kinds of methods, Kalunu realized that it was still ineffective. Ultimately, he had no choice but to use his divine power to slowly cleanse the curse in their bodies, changing their fundamentals.

However, even if he cleansed it using his divine power, it would not be able to remove the bloodline curse fundamentally. Cleansing the curse in their bodies for a long period using divine power would only guarantee them their bodies.

However, if Dilin and the others gave birth in the future, their descendants would still be affected by the curse and return to the state when they were cursed in the past.

In general, it could only be deemed a temporary cure, not a cure for the root cause. Therefore, after a long exploration period, Kalunu had finally developed a brand-new plan. The divine blood potion was his final plan.

The so-called divine blood was naturally Kalunu’s blood. He had more or less undergone a transformation by the Mark of Divine Spark in his body and had some characteristics of a divine body. This allowed his life essence to leap forward and gave his blood the ability to break the bloodline curse and change the Tree Spirits’ ability.

With Kalunu’s divine blood as the foundation and his divine power as the foundation, he created the divine blood potion using various materials, and the effects turned out pretty well.

Even Dilin and the other Tree Spirits, who had long since removed the divine blood curse, felt the significant effect after using it as if their souls had been sublimated. Of course, they were right to feel that way to a certain extent.

The bloodline had a deep connection with their souls, affecting one another. After the bloodline curse in the Tree Spirits’ bodies had been completely dispelled, their souls naturally reciprocated and became much stronger.

The strengthening part was just the beginning. There would be more progress as time passed, and their soul power grew, making them stronger sooner or later. This was a pretty good change.

“It seems that the effect is pretty good.” Kalunu smiled as he looked at Dilin and the others, then said softly, “However, just in case, we still have to check it to prevent any problems.”

Hearing Kalunu’s words, Dilin’s face subconsciously turned red as she looked at Kalunu. She seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still moved in the end.

“I’ll go first.” She said softly, then slowly took off the clothes on her body, revealing the beauty underneath.

The Tree Spirit’s body was completely different from that of an ordinary human girl. Every inch of her skin was smooth. It would be like the best silk if one were to touch it. A green texture covered her chest and reached its depths, adding an unknown charm. Although she was petite, this might not be a problem in some people’s eyes and could even be a bonus.

In the human world, the Tree Spirit was always the representative of delicacy and beauty, which meant goodness. This was very normal. At least in terms of human aesthetic standards, all Tree Spirits were extremely beautiful. Each could only be compared to the top beauties in the human world.

However, the one standing there was not anyone but Kalunu. There was no fluctuation in his eyes looking at the beauty before him, but he just maintained a decent smile on his face and said, “Please lie down.”

Seeing Kalunu’s reaction, the shame in Dilin’s heart quickly faded away. However, her feelings were a little complicated. She looked at Kalunu with a complicated look, then simply closed her eyes and lay on the experiment table for Kalunu to perform.

This was a great opportunity for others. A beauty without disguise was lying before you, letting you do whatever you wanted. Very few people would be able to resist the urge to touch her under such circumstances.

Dilin was initially shy about it. However, as time passed, she found that Kalunu was completely indifferent. He did not react, so she could not help but feel a little resentful. Kalunu quickly completed his inspection and proceeded to the next person. His gaze was calm from the beginning to the end, with no desire in his eyes.

There was nothing he could do. Just this level was not enough to tempt someone like him. Not to mention that the human nature in his body had long disappeared. So the normal reactions he made at this moment were just simulated performances to prevent panic of the surrounding people.

Kalunu’s nature should be as high and mighty as the world consciousness, be indifferent, and not care about anything like a god. That was nature. What was displayed on the surface was only a simulated human nature.

There was no other way. That was how an intelligent life would be. Sometimes, if one wanted to blend in with them, one needed to display special characteristics to make them feel close. For this reason, it did not matter, even if he had to waste his time in boring conversations and greetings. This was the society of mortals, and there was nothing he could do.

After examining Dirin and the rest of the Tree Spirits, Kalunu stopped what he was doing, “In the upcoming period, remember to cultivate properly and don’t try any dangerous moves.” He explained softly to Dirin and the rest of the Tree Spirits before leaving.

Dilin wanted to say something but did not say anything in the end as she looked at Kalunu, who left in a hurry. Sometimes, just because one did not think about something did not mean others would think the same.

Kalunu’s existence was very important to Dirin. He was her savior. He was the person who had helped her out when she was in despair. He was also the one who helped her rescue her clan. He was her savior, the savior of her clan, the person she admired and adored, and the person she loved.

Kalunu was different from ordinary Kobolds. Even though the ordinary Kobolds’ dragon veins were awakened, they retained most characteristics of a Kobold. They were ugly to the Tree Spirits and humans.

However, Kalunu had integrated many bloodlines and awakened the divine power. Hence, his body shape was closer to that of a Drakonid. He was handsome, knowledgeable, and powerful, always polite and gentle, like a perfect gentleman.

It was not surprising for someone to admire such an existence. However, unfortunately, some people were lacking in this aspect. Dilin looked at Kalunu’s back as he left and did not say anything in the end.

As for Kalunu, he had plenty of things to do after he left. However, unfortunately, the problems did not decrease after the Kalunu Kingdom defeated the Centaurs but increased instead.

The cities’ construction, the Kobolds’ movement, the use of Centaur slaves, the officials’ selection, and so on were all huge problems that needed to be resolved. In the current Kalunu Kingdom, the most fundamental system of the officials’ selection was completed. Some officials were selected to be the management talents of each region.

However, this was still not enough. Only very few people among the high-level management could manage. For example, Dilin, Hechi, and Hemmer. They were indeed powerful and could lead an army in battle. However, they were still far from being able to manage a place.

The talents imported from other worlds could be used, but there were still many gaps. After all, there was not only a lack of managerial talents but also a lack of technical talents. Agriculture, industry, medicine… Many industries lacked talents, and they all needed to be imported.

Kalunu was already considering whether he should apply for more simulation points from the main body to attract talents from other worlds. Otherwise, relying on the people before him would not be enough.

Kalunu was swamped with the affairs within the Kalunu Kingdom, secretly wishing he could turn himself into two people. Fortunately, he was now considered a world avatar, and his strength was powerful. Thus, his energy and physical strength were no longer limited. Otherwise, he might die from overwork, falling at his work position.

That would be interesting. Despite the busy domestic affairs, some still wanted to cause him a lot of trouble. Something was about to happen in the Kalunu Kingdom.

…

The Ankadan City was a new Kobolds city.

There were many Kobolds in the Kalunu Kingdom. Kobolds were a race that had strong reproduction ability under normal circumstances. Therefore, the number of Kobolds in the Kalunu Kingdom rapidly increased. The growth rate was even faster than the number of Kobolds in the wild.

After all, even if the Kobolds’ diet was complicated and their adaptability was strong enough in the wild, the limited survival resources could ultimately not satisfy everyone. For example, a Kobold couple might have ten children a year, but only three or four could live to adulthood.

However, after the establishment of the Kalunu Kingdom, the resource problem that had plagued the Kobolds’ growth was no longer an issue. Therefore, the number of Kobolds had almost exploded over the decades. As a result, population growth naturally requires resettlement.
