[Divine Power Name: Dao Law Incarnation]
[Effect 1: Can independently store one avatar per day, strength depends on the number summoned; the avatar’s strength is equal to the main body.]
[Effect 2: The avatar and the main body are fully connected, with only telepathic communication; the death of either does not affect the main body.]
[Species Origin Acquisition Note: Special reward origin is a complete form; accumulating origin through killing enemies and voluntary sacrifice by individuals counts as target species origin.]
At this moment, Qi Lin was looking at his Divine Power description, with additional notes on how to obtain Origin.
Although the text seemed a bit convoluted, it wasn’t difficult for him to understand.
The currently known methods for acquiring Origin were the terminal’s special rewards and the accumulation bar for killing enemies.
“I didn’t expect there to be a third way to obtain it?”
Qi Lin felt a bit delighted.
It was possible to convert the avatar through voluntary sacrifice of one’s own Origin by a member of the species.
Moreover, this method seemed even more effective than killing enemies, but the premise was that it had to be voluntary.
Sacrificing Origin wouldn’t result in death, but it would greatly affect the individual’s strength, even its maximum potential.
So under normal circumstances, almost no species would voluntarily offer their Origin.
Even forced sacrifices were useless; if the other party was unwilling and killed, it would automatically count toward the accumulated Origin through killing enemies.
“But the Origin limit for these last two methods seems a bit low?”
But it didn’t really matter; the description didn’t mention a limit on the number of avatars.
If avatars weren’t limited, then neither were incarnations.
At this moment, dawn was just breaking.
He had been forced to get up early for business because someone wanted to buy his weapon.
The Sixth-Tier Snake Scale Armor had just been sold before Qi Lin checked his Divine Power description.
The final transaction price was 799 gold coins.
Don’t ask why it wasn’t a round number—someone haggled.
This equipment was exchanged for three blueprints, 36 gold coins, five thousand units of wood, and four thousand units of stone.
Among them, except for one Cooking Pot Blueprint, the remaining two had already been acquired before and were put back on sale in the trading post by Qi Lin.
As for the former, just by the name, you could tell it was used for cooking, which meant his menu would have more than just roasted meat in the future.
This was something that couldn’t be sold.
“It’s getting late; it’s time to get up.”
Qi Lin stretched lazily, got out of bed, and walked outside the Lord’s Hall, just in time to encounter the returning undead incarnation.
Amid the gathering of undead, he saw a ragged woman beside the incarnation.
She was dragging shackles, each step ringing with the sound of metal scraping.
Behind her, skeletons carried sack after sack or broken boxes filled with their harvested spoils.
“Leveled up again, this is all thanks to me destroying the goblin stronghold!”
As soon as she returned, she declared her achievements, afraid someone would claim credit for the monster slaying.
“Leveled up?”
Qi Lin himself hadn’t noticed—he had been asleep at the time last night.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, his own level had already reached five.
The incarnation spoke softly in his ear, explaining what had happened.
“I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Qi Lin patted her shoulder, and the two understood each other.
Then, the undead incarnation led the Elf Girl into the Lord’s Hall and dismissed everyone else.
“The boss has given me full authority over this matter. I can let you go, even escort you back to your own species,”
Inside the room, Qi Lin tried to use a gentle tone as he spoke to the elf in front of him.
“But before that, can you tell me about your situation? I also hate goblins. I didn’t find their leader in the cave, so I need to plan the next step.”
“Tha…thank you…”
The Elf Girl spoke for the first time since returning with Qi Lin.
Her voice wasn’t as sweet as imagined but was instead unusually hoarse.
Whether it was because she hadn’t spoken in a long time or from screaming until her throat broke, he didn’t know.
Afterward, the elf truthfully recounted her experiences and revealed all the goblin information she knew.
Her species was the Forest Elf Tribe, skilled in archery and nimble movements—a natural scout.
They had come here to investigate the goblin species.
But then she told Qi Lin news so shocking it left him stunned.
“We…are not from this island.”
She sighed, as if lamenting the other’s helplessness.
Because she knew, with the other’s current level, it was impossible to send her off the island.
The Forest Elf Tribe was the ruling species of three islands, and their real purpose for coming here was to scout enemy forces.
Of course, their target wasn’t the lords, but the goblins.
That’s right—the goblin species was the ruling species of this island!
But only this island.
Naturally, the other party didn’t know the ruling species here was the goblin, which was why they sent scouts first.
But who could have known they’d be discovered as soon as they landed.
The male elves were brutally slaughtered.
As for the fate of the female elves…
Naturally, they became the goblins’ playthings.
It also explained why the goblin leader from that cave was absent.
At this point, confusion appeared on Qi Lin’s shocked face.
At this stage, the Islands of Ten Thousand Lords were actually completely separated from the continent.
So were these species the same as the lords, or from some far-off unknown continent?
Through a deep conversation with the Elf Girl, Qi Lin finally understood the relationship.
They were the same, all native species of this island.
The island’s species had nothing to do with the continent.
Because they didn’t even know the continent existed.
At the same time, their view of the lords was that of an undeveloped stronghold or tribe.
Too weak in power, and with countless weak species on the island, they had no time to care.
If the lords started at zero, then the ruling species of the islands started at the peak—their sights were on other islands from the very beginning, not the weak lords.
Only now did Qi Lin realize that unifying the island in the main quest wasn’t as simple as subduing all the lords.
There was still a gigantic obstacle in their way.
But just how big was an island—no one knew.
Thinking of how she had just said she wanted to kill all the goblins, she smiled awkwardly.
“Anyway, thank you for saving me, but it’s embarrassing to say—I have nothing and have lost contact with my group. There’s nothing I can repay you with.”
The Elf Girl lowered her head, sincerely expressing her gratitude and apology.
“No, you do.”
