Qi Lin and the “Qi Lin” in front of him couldn’t be said to have no connection at all, but were in fact completely unrelated.
While shocked, he also came to understand the use of his skill.
The being he summoned earlier, identical to himself and sharing a connected mind, was a Clone.
But now, after absorbing the origin of a certain race, his Clone had become independent—an individual, as the introduction described.
This was an Incarnation.
An Incarnation differed from a Clone; it was not under the control of Qi Lin’s main body, yet there remained a mysterious connection between the two.
The girl before him was still himself, but now capable of independent thought.
“Hey, main body, you’d better explain this to me!”
The girl puffed up with anger and stepped in front of him.
“Why did I turn into a woman, and a white-haired loli at that?!”
“Ah, I don’t know either!”
Qi Lin spread his hands, indicating it had nothing to do with him.
“But isn’t this pretty good?”
“Good my ass! I don’t want to be a weakling—I want to be a strong attacker!”
She still couldn’t accept the fact that she had become a woman.
At this moment, the girl’s face was flushed with anger, her body trembling.
“Alright, alright, there, there”
Qi Lin patted her head comfortingly, but the corners of his mouth were twitching as he struggled to suppress his laughter.
The girl gritted her silver teeth in anger.
“I’m not a child!”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Even though you became a woman, you’re still pretty.”
The first half of Qi Lin’s words were perfunctory, but the latter half was sincere.
“If I had turned into a 300-pound tank, I’d rather die.”
The girl glared at him.
“And have you touched enough yet?!”
“Want me to help you check your body?”
“You know you’re being a pervert right now, right?”
“You don’t understand me?”
Talking to himself like this was a strange feeling.
Because their minds were no longer connected, he and the Incarnation could only communicate through words.
Strictly speaking, apart from this karmic link, they were already two completely different individuals.
“Easy for you to say when you’re standing. Damn it.”
The girl could only accept the fact that she had become a girl, helpless.
After all, she couldn’t change anything.
It was just tough on her, having to bear the pain of becoming a woman.
You don’t understand. None of you do. All you do is gloat!
“So, my little brother got exchanged for a random farmer-type unit?”
At this thought, the girl was furious.
She sacrificed so much, and you, you, you…
She rolled her eyes at Qi Lin, swung her arm, and a huge Scythe appeared in her hand.
Then she turned and walked outside the territory.
“Where are you going?”
Qi Lin’s voice came from behind.
“To level up. Or do you want me to rely on those two useless weaklings?”
She snapped.
Fine, fine, so you dare talk to your main body like this, huh.
Luckily, she was his Incarnation and understood what needed to be done now.
As for himself, he decided to first understand his surroundings—after all, he had just arrived and knew nothing.
Qi Lin scanned the environment around him.
Within the entire territory, there were only two small houses: one was the Lord’s Hall, and the other was the dormitory for the four farmers.
Right, these four farmers were given at the start, along with a gift of 10 gold coins.
Gold coins were necessary for summoning units—simple and easy to understand, in other words, money.
As for the gifted farmers, every Lord received them regardless of unit type.
Farmers had no combat power, but gathering, building, mining, and the like all required them—essentially, they were tools.
Entering the Lord’s Hall, the small house was empty except for a Terminal on the wall.
This was a Terminal for the Battlefield of All Races, providing some beginner assistance and basic functions.
Qi Lin activated it, and a high-tech, transparent floating display appeared in front of him.
There were many functions listed: [Trade], [Personal], [Territory], [Chat], etc.
These modules were pieced together, giving him the feel of an old-school phone.
Currently, only the Personal, Chat, and Territory modules were lit up; the others were grayed out.
Chat?
Qi Lin had no desire to look at a bunch of idiots shouting.
If he guessed correctly, opening the chat now would reveal someone blackening his family’s pigeon.
What a joke.
Remember to bring your units to court!
Opening the Personal module, his detailed information was displayed.
[Name: Qi Lin]
[Race: Human Race]
[Level: 0]
[Territory Level: Does not meet the requirements for a low-level village, cannot display.]
[Divine Ability: Law Incarnation]
“So the initial territory needs to be built up to meet the minimum requirements.”
Qi Lin realized, but then froze, noticing a small question mark beside Level, and a prompt at the bottom indicating the interface could be swiped.
[Level Classification: One to Nine, Extraordinary, King, Legend, Holy Domain, Demigod, True God…]
“After True God, it’s just an ellipsis?”
He seemed to understand, but for now, such things were far from his reach.
Sliding the interface, a brand-new personal info page appeared before Qi Lin.
[Name: Qi Lin]
[Race: Undead Race]
[Level: (Syncing)]
[Territory Level: No territory]
[Skills: Undead Summoning, Dark Magic…]
That’s right, this was the Incarnation’s information.
Moreover, Qi Lin understood once again!
His Incarnation’s territory information was independent, meaning she could become a Lord just like himself!
Qi Lin smiled.
The clear and simple introduction required no further explanation for him to grasp how to develop.
What?
My unit is a farmer?
No, no, no, my unit is myself.
At least for now, he couldn’t let his Incarnation become independent—his own territory had no combat power, so he would have to wait until he had two Incarnations before doing so.
As for how to obtain the origins of other races, that was not a problem he needed to think about right now.
Opening the Territory module, his territory information instantly popped up.
[Territory Level: Low-level village and below]
[Upgrade requirements: 200 units of wood, 100 units of stone.]
[Buildings: Lord’s Hall, Residential House]
[Unlocked Buildings: Warehouse, Residential House]
[Summoning cost: 1 gold coin]
[Novice Protection Period.]
“Summon ten farmers!”
With Qi Lin’s thought, the ten gold coins from the Novice Gift Pack vanished before they even reached his hand.
Outside, a dazzling light flashed, and ten farmers appeared out of thin air.
“Greetings, Lord!”
They were different from the four gifted farmers; although their attire was similar, it was clean and without holes or dirt—brand new.
“All of you, go outside the territory to cut wood or gather stone.”
Qi Lin ordered at once.
At this moment, rapid development was the priority.
“At your command, Lord.”
The fourteen farmers scattered, heading beyond the territory.
In front of the three shabby thatched huts, only Qi Lin remained.
But safety wasn’t a concern.
Aside from protecting Lords from invasion by native races, the entire Battlefield of All Races also kindly provided each Lord with a three-day Novice Protection Period.
In short, everyone was currently in an invincible state—other than quietly developing, there was nothing else to do.
Fourteen farmers—development speed should be more than three times that of an ordinary Lord, right?
Of course, that’s assuming the Lord is ordinary.
If a Lord randomly obtained units with human-like intelligence or low-intelligence creatures, they could also gather resources.
If it was a top-tier unit, he didn’t even want to think about it….
But for Qi Lin, whose starting unit was a farmer, not being the bottom of all Lords was already pretty good.
Speaking of which, do Undead count as a top-tier unit?
He had a feeling that even though he started in hell, with his ridiculous Divine Ability, he would surely soar to the top in the future!
