[DING!]
[Activating Golden Finger...]
[Golden Finger activation successful!]
[Host's Initial Divine Realm detected forming in Subspace. Golden Finger has refreshed to provide three options for the Host to choose from.]
[Option 1]: Increase land area. Extremely high chance of the Initial Clan being a land-based Clan, a medium chance of spawning Iron Ore resources, and a small chance of spawning Magic Resources!
[Option 2]: Increase ocean area. Extremely high chance of the Initial Clan being an ocean-based Clan, a medium chance of spawning plant resources, and a small chance of spawning Magic Resources!
[Option 3]: Hands-off approach. Let the Divine Realm evolve on its own. All outcomes will be random.
Faced with the three options from his Golden Finger, Zhang Yi immediately averted his gaze from the third one.
'Taking a hands-off approach is undoubtedly the most unwise option,' he thought. 'It means giving up active control over my Divine Realm's development and leaving everything to random chance.'
Zhang Yi knew that when it came to shaping a Divine Realm, every single choice was crucial.
This would not only determine the future of his Divine Realm but also directly affect his own future as a Divine Being and his Divine Position.
Between a land-based Clan and an ocean-based one, Zhang Yi was more inclined to choose a land-based Clan for his Initial Clan.
He believed that land-based Clans not only had more room for development but also possessed more diverse methods for acquiring and utilizing resources.
In contrast, while ocean-based Clans had their own unique ecological advantages,
their range of activity and methods for acquiring resources were relatively limited.
This was especially true in the early stages of a Divine Realm, where it could hinder the Clan's rapid growth and the realm's stable development.
Thus, Zhang Yi made his choice—increase the land area.
Following his decision, the Divine Realm in Subspace, as if guided by a mysterious force,
began to see its landmass expand significantly.
The original coastline continuously pushed into the ocean, revealing new land.
On this newborn land, all sorts of life began to emerge, from lowly plants to more complex organisms.
The final stage of this Evolution settled upon a dense forest...
[Host's Divine Realm has finished forming. Golden Finger has refreshed to provide three options for the Host to choose a top-tier Divine Realm Effect.]
[Option 1]: [Evolution] Effect. Enhances the procreation potential of species. Base creature evolution rate 100%, juvenile survival rate forcibly raised to 100%. There is a 5% chance of producing Upper Class individuals, a 1% chance of producing superior individuals, and a 0.1% chance of producing individuals who transcend the limits of their own Clan!
[Option 2]: [Procreation] Effect. Removes the procreation restrictions between different species. Base creature survival rate reaches 100%, and the number of offspring reaches 300%, with a potential maximum of 500% under extreme conditions.
[Option 3]: [Mutation] Effect. Clan has a 10% chance of beneficial mutation, a 1% chance of harmful mutation, a 0.1% chance of extremely harmful mutation, and a 0.01% chance of extremely beneficial mutation.
All three of these top-tier Divine Realm Effects were extremely good.
However, for the current Zhang Yi, whose Divine Realm had just been born, the ecosystem was still incomplete and lacked sufficient food.
If the Clan in his Divine Realm were to overpopulate, it would destroy the ecosystem and lead to food shortages.
Furthermore, every year, there were cases among the student Divine Realms where the ecosystem collapsed, causing the student's entire Initial Clan to starve to death.
Therefore, the [Procreation] Effect of [Option 2] was the first to be eliminated!
As for the Effects of [Option 1] and [Option 3]...
Zhang Yi had a suspicion.
'The [Option 1] Divine Realm Effect is probably inherited.'
Before his Reincarnation, Zhang Yi had undergone a baptism of Divine Power from the Zhang Family's ancestor, a Powerful Divine Being.
Afterward, Zhang Yi was reborn as a member of the Zhang Family.
As far as Zhang Yi knew, the Divine Realm Effect of the Zhang Family's ancestor, Zhang Shumo, was related to Evolution.
It was possible for the Divine Realm Effect of a Powerful Divine Being to be passed down to the next generation of the family through their bloodline.
This was the benefit of having a Powerful Divine Being in the family!
And the Divine Realm Talent from a Powerful Divine Being was far better than any effect a one-in-a-million genius could painstakingly create!
Anyone else might have taken a gamble.
But in Zhang Yi's opinion, the Effects of [Option 1] and [Option 3] had a significant amount of overlap.
Moreover, the Effect of [Option 1] was far more comprehensive than that of [Option 3].
'Upper Class individuals! Superior individuals!'
'And even individuals who break the limits of their own Clan...'
Plus, it had the effect of a 100% survival rate for newborns.
One could say that the Effect of [Option 1] combined the benefits of both [Option 2] and [Option 3] while discarding their drawbacks.
Such a powerful, top-tier Divine Realm Effect had nearly maxed out Zhang Yi's expectations!
'As long as I choose [Option 1], I can quickly raise the combat effectiveness of any Initial Clan!'
Without a doubt, Zhang Yi confirmed [Option 1]!
Next up was the Initial Clan for his Divine Realm!
[Host's Initial Divine Realm construction complete. Top-tier Divine Realm Effect selected. Golden Finger has refreshed to provide three options for the Host to choose from.]
[Option 1]: Initial Clan: 300 Wood Elves.
[Option 2]: Initial Clan: 100 Stone Giants.
[Option 3]: Initial Clan: 500 Green-skinned Lizardmen.
At this point, Zhang Yi became extremely cautious.
After all, this was the choice of his Initial Clan.
These three different types of Initial Clans corresponded to three different paths.
The Initial Clan often represented a new Divine Being's role as a Clan God, as well as their future Divine Position.
This would affect a Divine Being's development for almost their entire life.
He had to be careful!
Choosing the Wood Elves meant that Zhang Yi's future efforts would be focused on the Elf path.
Wood Elves are a lower-tier type of Elf.
But after Evolution, they can become high-tier Natural Elves.
Wood Elves have an innate Natural Affinity, allowing them to perceive and utilize Nature. They possess a unique Talent for gathering resources and planting.
Furthermore, Elves are all natural-born Divine Archers, and their close-combat capabilities are also impressive.
If the Divine Realm were to expand further and gain Magic Power, they could also change classes to become Mages!
Their only weakness is that Wood Elves are rather dependent on forests.
Also, since Elves are a long-lived species, their birth rate is low.
But these weaknesses were perfectly covered by the top-tier Divine Realm Effect Zhang Yi had just confirmed!
If Zhang Yi chose the Stone Giants,
after Evolution, they would become Stone Titans.
Although the evolved Stone Titan was only a low-tier Clan among Titans,
even so,
as a top-tier Clan, the combat power and potential of a Stone Titan went without saying!
Their only flaws were that Stone Giants were slow-moving and had relatively low Intelligence.
They also provided less Faith Value.
It was important to know that for an ordinary high school student, it was practically impossible to raise an Initial Clan to the point where they could evolve into Titans, at least not before the college entrance exams.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yi gave up on choosing the Stone Giants.
Option three was the Green-skinned Lizardmen.
Green-skinned Lizardmen represented the path of a Beastman Divine Being.
The advantages of Green-skinned Lizardmen were their powerful procreation, adaptability to various terrains, and tenacious Life Force.
Their disadvantages were a simple social structure, a reliance on water resources, and being suited only for temperate and tropical climates.
Moreover, Green-skinned Lizardmen were rather cruel, and cases of cannibalism were common.
This was an unavoidable issue when initially choosing to be a Beastman Divine Being.
Of course, the most important reason was that Zhang Yi disliked the ugly appearance of the Green-skinned Lizardmen.
Whether something is powerful or not is temporary, but being ugly is for life!
And Elves were generally known for their good looks.
So, Zhang Yi still chose the Wood Elves as his Initial Clan!
Of course, there were other important reasons as well.
For example, compared to the Green-skinned Lizardmen,
the Wood Elves' Clan potential, even before Evolution, was already similar to that of the Green-skinned Lizardmen.
And in Zhang Yi's Initial Divine Realm, there was a vast forest.
If the Wood Elves could make good use of this forest, they could quickly establish their Logistics!
In a situation where the Initial Divine Realm was still unstable and he couldn't deploy too many Resource Cards,
this was an extremely important advantage!
