God of Pets

Chapter 798 The Power of Creation
Chen watched as the slain spirits disintegrated in a short time, eventually turning into nothingness.

Although some of the energy was absorbed by the surviving spirits, most of it seemed to have gone to the Gu God in a strange way.

Chen Guan watched this incomparably bizarre scene, where the mysterious spirits were constantly tearing each other apart, devouring each other, and reproducing, endlessly reincarnating.

The number of Mystic Spirits is decreasing, but not as quickly as one might imagine, because most Mystic Spirits can reproduce multiple times, and some even have a large number of offspring.

Therefore, under such a selection mechanism, only some of the weak are eliminated, while the strong survive and continue to reproduce, so there is no significant reduction.

As the hybridization deepened, all sorts of strangely shaped spirits appeared, creating a truly bizarre and varied sight.

However, with each generation of hybrids, the appearance of these hybrid spirits is gradually becoming more uniform.

"The power of this Gu God Temple should not be underestimated. The power they possess is to mix the superior genes of various races together to create a new species. This method can almost be called that of a miniature creator," Chen Guan thought to himself.

After countless generations, the appearance of the spirits here has become almost identical.

This is inevitable. When evolution reaches a certain point, only the optimal solution will remain. It will become more and more brutal as we go on. If you are even slightly off, you will be eliminated.

Therefore, all hybrids will eventually tend to be similar, tending towards a limited perfection, because if they are even slightly inferior in some aspect, they will be directly eliminated.

In the last few generations, the differences were almost indistinguishable, with very little change.

Their appearances are very similar to those of the Gu God, only they are not as powerful as the Gu God.

"It is time for a new king to be born." With the voice of the Gu God, the final massacre began.

The surviving spirits fought and devoured each other, until only one hybrid remained.

At this point, the hybrid and the Gu God were ninety percent similar, except that the Gu God was radiant with golden light, while this hybrid spirit was black.

"Consider this Gu King a gift from me. Feed it with your own blood and supplement it with Gu techniques. After forty-nine days, it will recognize you as its master." With a command from the Gu God, the Gu King flew to Chen Guan's side and stood there quietly.

"Is this all you want to pass on to me?" Chen Guan asked the Gu God calmly.

He didn't intend to feed this so-called Gu King with his own blood. In fact, this guy should be considered a mutated secret spirit, and a very powerful one at that.

Chen Guan admitted that the Gu God Temple's inheritance was indeed quite remarkable, but it was clear that the Gu God Temple's method of inheritance was outdated.

They do not control the spirits as pets, but rather through a blood pact.

This situation makes it easy for the secret spirit to backfire, and in this day and age, it is already considered an outdated cultivation method.

Many people have tamed wild spirits before, just like Chen Guan raised Zhaocai and a little tiger.

However, even in this way, the spirits will have their own joys and sorrows, as well as fears and dreads. The key is that they can decide for themselves what to do.

When the battle reaches its critical moment, many spirits will try to escape, or even harm their masters in a stress response.

Therefore, this method failed to develop. In battle, humans need steadfast and reliable battle pets. This alone determined that raising wild pets would not become widespread, especially in the military or teams, where such unstable factors would not be allowed to exist.

Chen Guan raised Zhao Cai and the little tiger as pets, never intending to let them participate in real battles.

Of course, the Gu God Temple must have its own set of rules, and it shouldn't be so easy for their so-called Gu to devour their masters. However, Chen Guan felt that the very existence of this Gu God was something worth pondering.

Why is the successor of the Gu God Temple not a person, but a Gu that is passing on the Gu God Temple's legacy?
Were all the people from that time killed in battle? Or is it that human lifespan is limited, and they didn't live to see the present day?
Or perhaps it is possible that this Gu God killed its master, the one truly responsible for passing on the civilization of the Gu God Temple?

Although everything is unknown, Chen Guan cannot ignore the possibility.

Moreover, during the formation of the Gu King, most of the energy did not actually reach the Gu King, but was absorbed by the Gu God.

This is also a point of suspicion. Chen Guan will not accept the inheritance of the Gu God Temple until he has figured it out.

"Of course, there's more than just one Gu King. This is just a small gift I'm giving you." The Gu God said with a smile, "The true inheritance of the Gu God Palace is to give you the ability to create new Gu. This is the power of creation."

Chen Guan neither confirmed nor denied it, but he also acknowledged that this power was very strong, and could be described as a minor creator.

But this power is ultimately not a true creation; it can only be considered a high-quality imitation.

But a fake is a fake, and the difficulty is different.

The ability of the Gu God Temple is like someone developing a game and then creating a modified private server version based on that game.

It looks incredibly powerful and overpowered, but in reality, its potential is only so-so.

The fact that these Mystic Spirits' final forms are similar shows that what determines the upper limit of the Gu King is still those basic Mystic Spirits.

Only the stronger the basic secret spirit, the stronger the final Gu will be, so it can only be a limited perfection.

This has some similarities to the current cultivation philosophy, but it is not entirely the same.

The current cultivation philosophy also relies on external forces to promote one's own growth; the difference lies in the scope.

The Gu God Temple's lineage was limited to living beings, while the current scope of human cultivation encompasses all things in heaven and earth.

In modern times, the power of the Gu God Temple would only be a branch of cultivation.

Moreover, this branch of cultivation has some problems, so Chen Guan naturally cannot accept it casually.

Of course, if these problems can be solved, Chen Guan wouldn't mind having another ability like this.

If you could use this ability on your pet, that would be pretty awesome.

"How can I obtain the inheritance of the Gu God Palace?" Chen Guan asked again.

"Come with me into the Gu God Palace, and I will guide you through the inheritance ceremony," the Gu God said condescendingly.

"Alright." Chen Guan responded, but suddenly turned around, activated the Pure Yang Sword Immortal technique, transformed into a sword rainbow that soared into the sky and flew away into the distance.

Such ambiguous rituals, where nothing is clearly explained, are most likely traps, and Chen Guan naturally wouldn't fall into one.
