Chapter 1912: Chapter 1906 Mature Form

Lu Ping’an’s power has developed to this point over almost a dozen or so years, having endured at least a double-digit number of world-class battles.

Looking back today, it’s only now that it’s realized that unwittingly, their side has become a significant force… The industries on Earth are the foundation, serving the entire force, with over twenty races and nearly hundreds of thousands of related personnel, and the sphere of influence extends to more than six first-line worlds.

On the surface, there’s only one True God, the God of Redemption… but in reality, there are at least four near-god combat forces (almost ten now), more than double-digit eight-tier combat forces, involving all aspects and forming established industries.

Industry, or rather, the foundational business, is the most crucial, as it means one can “nurture talents” and continuously cultivate new blood of the new generation.

Especially for Lu Ping’an, who previously had the Long Hand Clan, Free Fish People, and other eths as later troops, now with the addition of a diverse range of beastmen as support, Lu Ping’an’s side can say that they just need to wait to become a massive Proper God force.

He may still fall short of Lin Nu’s total power from back then (unfocused), but whether it’s the core battle group or the influence in the homeland, it has already surpassed past Proper Gods.

But Lu Ping’an always felt that his greatest treasure was the “companions” he traveled with along the way.

This isn’t some abstract talk of friendship, love, and courage, but the backbone of business that has endured the trials of reality while still maintaining a degree of idealism, especially those cultivated by Mercury 42, led by Mei Yuge and the captains of the warships, who represented the original “Ancient City University Faction.”

These people have been tested by harsh realities and have proven their capabilities, finding their niches, and climbing from the true grassroots to become mid-to-high-level backbone personnel (in Exotic Realm exploration, everyone has to start from grassroots).

When Lu Ping’an’s force expands and needs talent capable of taking on responsibilities independently, they will naturally be promoted to serve as first-line managers or mid-to-high-level backbone personnel in various aspects.

If Lu Ping’an constructs a legion, there would be an Army Commander and staff (political commissar); if he needs to quietly cultivate development, there are store managers or investment advisors for each branch.

Their inherent abilities are sufficient at an above-average level, and more importantly, they understand Lu Ping’an’s style and mindset, ensuring that as long as they remain at grassroots and mid-to-high levels, the whole force remains under Lu Ping’an’s control. At least, there’s no worry of deviating from the intended course, exhibiting the paradox of attempting to reduce burdens but instead imposing more in a ridiculous manner.

This is not unique to Lu Ping’an’s force; most new forces will cultivate such a batch of backbone personnel during their growth. They are the soul of the force, present to varying degrees.

Hence, when a force loses motivation, its initial purpose, or even its kinetic energy, it’s often the time of generational transition.

A change of leader is not a fatal blow, but with the departure of the previous generation, a massive exodus of backbone personnel also retiring and leaving, new leaders making large-scale personnel changes and introducing new mechanisms, actively reforming new business departments, indirectly collapsing the original operating framework, may simply lead to self-destruction in one wave.

For a force like “Rebirth Commerce,” there’s a slight advantage in this aspect… Lu Ping’an won’t be replaced and can’t be replaced. The courtyard is both his body and the foundation of this force, but he is not everything. He needs countless “claws” to execute his will and goals.

Especially with his special ability trait that molds everyone into a dragon’s comprehensive growth, the more followers, the greater the overall power increase.

The growth potential of top-level powers like Hua Xueyi, Xue En, and Guan Xinxian alone proves that their strength is absolutely beyond standard.

While others can cultivate a hired thug, he can cultivate a Deity, a race, or a Kingdom. Given enough time for growth, the final total strength is naturally not on the same level.

And now, Lu Ping’an has reached a time of harvest.

“Try a little harder, Mumu, it’s best if each demigod has their own race, and you have the most potential….”

Mumu, the Tree Elf, the Elemental enemy, has a rather peculiar growth trajectory.

All along, people assumed she was likely the least intelligent among Lu Ping’an’s Magic Pets… She was too silent and slow, spending most of her time just sitting somewhere enjoying photosynthesis.

Yet, no one ever thought her strength was low. Her birth was filled with too many fortuitous factors, and merely obtaining the trait of the Energy-devouring Evil Sunflower, a multi-universe Heavenly Calamity, meant her essence of plundering and absorbing energy gave her an overwhelming advantage against certain opponents.

Her origin is a quasi-rule level bloodline, and as an Ancient Tree-man, her growth was even more outrageous,

[Ancient Tree Bloodline (Silver Mid-position): Through continuous ‘nutrition’ absorption, gain growth in size and physical strength. When the absorbed energy exceeds the growth limit, it can be converted to ‘Crystal Leaves’ for external storage.]

The acquired “Crystal Leaves” can be used to detonate or create energy creatures. Coupled with her innate ability to draw from the earth’s veins, her growth trait makes her like a large-scale energy absorption, conversion, and new life-giving Life Ancient Tree… saying she’s a World Tree is not an exaggeration.

Such an existence, yet due to her nature’s laziness, remains long-term in an invisible state.

Even Lu Ping’an is unaware of just how far her Ancient Tree bloodline, with its growth potential, has developed. The last check revealed a lot of unidentified codes… which for Lu Ping’an, was evidence of extraordinary standard excess.

She can actually serve as a dual ancestor for “energy creatures” and “Ancient Trees,” capable of molding two strong ethnic groups.

Now, Lu Ping’an lets her take root and sprout, fulfilling the requirements of a Divine King, and also as a ‘father’s’ expectation.

It’s time for her to step into the light…

“Look outside, your sisters, they all have their own ventures…”

As a leader, Lu Ping’an is probably the kind with the least desire for control.

Now, led by Zhi Xi and Little Flame, the Legitimate Line, and the adoptive children group centered around Eve, Fang Wen, and Fei’er, all have their own departments and industries. Xue En and Hua Xueyi also have their own departments and industries.

Lu Ping’an doesn’t need to interfere, nor can he interfere with overly vast industries.

Most of the time, he merely provides a little direction or highlights a priority, leaving the rest for others to complete.

As long as the old companions who have followed along haven’t retired or left in disappointment, he has confidence that everything is on the right path.

“Alright, alright, I’ll do it…..”

With a sigh, the girl without any vitality could only honestly get to work.

Among all the “Name-bestowed Demigods,” Mumu was the only one blessed thrice… not because she lacked the conditions, but due to her instinctive refusal.

Trees, after all, have no desire to become human. Being human is too difficult.

“Truly heartless, making a tree do work… how nice it is being a tree, basking in the sun, lying down, another quarter just passes.”

But with a sigh, Mumu had to get up and “breed.”

She actually had long since obtained the standards for creating branches; she just always felt too lazy to act… It isn’t a simple task, but she could’ve attempted it earlier, yet whenever considering the potential troubles the Family Clan might bring, she found herself entirely uninterested.

Now, however, she couldn’t afford to indulge her whims anymore.

Whether it is Lu Ping’an or this world, they especially require her power.
