Chapter 703: Chapter 703 – Curse of the Tree Spirit
There were still many problems within the Kalunu Kingdom, which could be solved nonetheless. It was just a matter of how much time it would take.
The Kalunu Kingdom had enormous potential compared to human kingdoms. This potential came not only from the other worlds behind the Kalunu Kingdom but also from the huge Kobold base. The huge Kobold Kingdom base itself was the best development aid.
As the saying goes, the more the people, the greater the strength was extremely applicable in many cases. Especially after decades of perseverance, many basic education constructions in the Kalunu Kingdom had already achieved a certain degree of success.
Many Kobolds who had undergone certain basic education had stepped forward and began participating in the construction. As time passed, more educated Kobolds would inevitably appear continuously and participate in the construction of the Kalunu Kingdom.
There were supplements from several other worlds in terms of technology. Therefore it was not lacking for the time being. The Kalunu Kingdom only needed to patiently absorb other worlds’ scientific and technological achievements and apply them directly.
As for other aspects, Kalunu would personally solve them. Other problems need to be solved now compared to the Kalunu Kingdom’s development, such as some of Kalunu’s problems.
One night, Kalunu sat on a high mountain alone, silently closing his eyes. The virtual image of a Mark of Divine Spark appeared in his body. It was flickering, continuously returning the power into his body.
Kalunu had been cultivating silently here ever since that day when he suppressed the Evil God and plundered the Mark of Divine Spark in his body. As he was constantly exploring the secret land in his body, he had originally obtained a lot of divinity from various places which were deposited in his body previously.
However, now, all these divinities have disappeared after a short period. All divinities had merged to supplement the Mark of Divine Spark, making the Mark of Divine Spark much more complete. Many originally incomplete parts began to connect, and some originally illusory areas became focused. It became much stronger overall.
However, it was still far from enough. After careful calculation, the many divinities that Kalunu had accumulated only replenished about one percent of the Mark of Divine Spark. It would take a longer time to complete this mark truly. Therefore, in other words, he needed a lot of divinities.
Moreover, not all divinities could be added to the Mark of Divine Spark. Only those in the same domain or with connections could do so. This signified that higher and more difficult divinities were required.
This might also explain why the gods were often hostile towards other gods in the same realm. In their perspective, those in the same field were not only competitors but also potential resources. Who knew how many years of accumulation they could save if they could devour one.
If it were Kalunu, he would also be tempted and be eyeing his peers covetously. However, he was already somewhat tempted at this moment and wanted to target those in the same field.
The Evil God’s Mark of Divine Spark involved the area of sacrifice, darkness, and so on. These were the areas in which the gods of the dark side were involved.
In other words, if Kalunu wanted to use this method to supplement himself, it was enough to target the gods of the dark side. It would be great if he could devour the God of Shadows of the Oro Empire in one bite. Nonetheless, Kalunu could only dream about it for the time being. It was impossible for him to do it.
He was in a unique state at this moment. Similar to Chen Heng, Kalunu was also in metamorphosis and was even more unique. Chen Heng was in a metamorphosis because entering the Demigod domain required divine power to transform his body into a Demigod’s body slowly.
The process was similar for Kalunu at this moment. His span was even greater than Chen Heng’s because the Mark of Divine Spark that existed in his body was something only the Gods’ realm could possess. The mark’s power was gradually improving his body, slowly elevating his power to a whole new level.
This was a unique experience and probably the only one in the entire World of Gods. If it were someone else, even if they had obtained the fragments of Divine Spark left behind by the fallen god, they wouldn’t be able to transform into their own completely.
Divinity was something that only existences within God’s realm could use, not to mention the Mark of Divine Spark of a higher level. Therefore, the only person who could truly be a god of mortals and possess such an existence as a mark of Divine Spark was probably Kalunu.
Therefore, there weren’t many experiences left behind for him to follow. He could only slowly explore himself. Fortunately, his knowledge and horizons significantly grew with the Evil God’s memory. Although the problem wasn’t small, he could still deal with it.
This thought flashed through Kalunu’s mind as he was quietly sitting on the spot. Then, not far away, a shadow flashed across the land, shrouding a large area like an ancient wild beast whose body was tens of meters tall.
Urad landed on the ground and came over to Kalunu’s side, staring at his appearance. Urad’s appearance had significantly changed over the years. Every part of his body had undergone a shocking transformation.
It did not look like a red dragon but looked more like a real Giant Dragon, which was natural. In the god’s sealed territory back then, Kalunu had found many fallen Giant Dragon corpses. Of course, those Giant Dragon corpses had already fallen for many years, but there were still plenty of origins left.
Kalunu extracted and fused them into Urad and the others’ bodies, helping transform their bloodlines. Although they still looked like the sub-dragons on the surface, their bloodlines were no different from real Giant Dragons, even stronger now.
Unless they were royalty among the Giant Dragons, ordinary Giant Dragons were nothing before Urad and would be suppressed by the majesty of Urad’s bloodlines, surrender directly to it.
“Do you feel it too?” Kalunu slowly sat down and then looked at Urad before him. The expression on his face couldn’t help but become gentler.
There was an inexplicable connection between Kalunu and Urad. They could feel each other’s state and feelings. Therefore, Urad keenly sensed the changes in Kalunu’s body and rushed over.
“Don’t worry...” Kalunu gently waved his hand to calm Urad’s mood and smiled calmly, “I’m fine, definitely won’t die. I still have a lot of things unaccomplished. How could I fall so quickly?” He looked at the sky, staring at the stars in the sky, and muttered to himself.
A few days passed quickly. Finally, in a small laboratory, a few figures were sitting upright.
“How do you feel?” Kalunu walked into the laboratory, looked at the figures before him, and asked with a smile.
“I feel very good.” Facing Kalunu’s gaze, a dazzling smile appeared on Dilin’s face.
They were smiling from the bottom of their hearts, looking very happy.
The ones sitting here were all Tree Spirits. They came here to cooperate with Kalunu’s experiment.
“There is an ancient legend that Tree Spirits are the descendants of a certain god of nature. However, unfortunately, one of the gods of nature fell and was defeated, resulting in a curse in his bloodline and becoming what it is this.”
Kalunu walked into the laboratory, looked at Dilin and the others, and then said softly, “All of you are the direct bloodline of a god in the past. Theoretically, your bloodline is noble. Even though it can’t be compared to a real Divine Son, it won’t be inferior to a powerful race like the Giant Dragon.”
The Tree Spirits was the descendant of a god in the past, with noble divine blood flowing in their bodies. For such a race, even if there were no divinity in their bodies, they should still have the god’s blood flowing in their bodies. Therefore, in theory, their strength should not be inferior to a race like the Giant Dragon.
However, due to the limitations of the past, the Tree Spirits’ strength was significantly limited and was generally only at the second rank in the World of Gods. Although the second rank may sound good, it still depended on who they were compared to. Compared to the Giant Dragon race, which could achieve the fourth rank after adulthood, the Tree Spirits, generally at the second rank, were far behind.
Back when they recruited the Tree Spirits like Dilin, Kalunu had promised to destroy the Centaur tribe to avenge them and personally remove the god’s curse on their bodies. Based on the current situation, the target of destructing the Centaur tribe had been achieved. As for the curses in their bodies, there was some progress.
“The curses in your bodies originated from the gods, so they could only be resolved by a god-level power.” Kalunu looked at them and said softly, “If it is like in the past, although part of the curse can be removed with the divine power’s baptism, it can not fundamentally resolve the problem. However, such an issue will not exist with the current divine blood potion. You and your future descendants will not be affected by the curse after you devour it. You will be able to perfectly display the potential of your bloodline without restriction from now on.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Dilin and the others looked at Kalunu and said solemnly with a look of joy on their faces. They knew very well where the divine blood potion originated from. They were essentially made from Kalunu’s blood.
