With a pinch of my hand, there was a total of four of them, three women and one man, from whom Lin Yi could see a purple aura and a gold aura.
It was just too bad that after seriously molding four people, Lin Yi was struck by laziness.
He then slapped and splashed the mud haphazardly, creating over a hundred babies in just a few minutes.
Suddenly, the wails of infants were deafening.
Lin Yi sat back on the rock, looking at the hundred-plus infants with a headache. What next? Was it time for their growth period?
Then let's return to the Douluo plane first.
By nighttime, which was Gu Yuena's spanking time, he estimated these infants would have already bred several generations.
Just as Lin Yi thought of heading back, a notification sound rang in his mind.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the most important first step—creating humans. Would you like to accelerate the plane's time flow? You can choose any multiplier to execute this operation.]
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
Is the System this intelligent? If Bi Ji knew I could operate like this, would she be whining, biting her little quilt, and crying herself to death?
He stood in place, smiling as he said, "Alright, let's go with double speed."
As soon as the words were spoken, the scenery around him began to change.
The grass and trees swayed faster, clouds swiftly raced across the sky, and it quickly grew overcast.
"Five times speed."
"Ten times speed."
The surroundings became a blur, the sky alternately bright and dark, and the ground, barren one moment and verdant with grass the next, while the shadows of primitive houses with figures moving about gradually appeared.
It seems those infants had long since grown into adults.
Excitement grew on Lin Yi's face; indeed, a fast pace was thrilling—who had time to wait for their natural evolution?
By this speed, Bi Ji's plane should have already seen multicellular organisms, right? Paramecia should be starting to evolve as well, right?
The thought of the progression speed comparison of both planes made Lin Yi want to run into Bi Ji's plane and taunt their Creator God.
You are way too slow!
After all, your Creator God doesn't have as much power as I do~
Lin Yi thought proudly inside, having the System's aid was such an advantage.
"Fifty times speed."
"One hundred times speed."
"One thousand times speed!"
"Ten thousand times speed!"
The surroundings turned into a vast expanse of white, so fast that it all became a blur, with nothing but white remaining!
About ten or so minutes later, Lin Yi shouted, "Stop!"
The accelerated scenery instantly came to a halt.
Lin Yi stood there, looking at the System panel for indication, wondering how many years had passed.
It was only about twenty minutes of acceleration...
[3687 Years]
Awesome!
Twenty minutes of acceleration had passed, yet this plane had already gone through over three thousand years!
A look of shock covered Lin Yi's face.
He wondered what this plane might have developed into at this point.
Lin Yi looked around and only then noticed that the ground had turned into blue stone tiles; his current location was a bustling street, heavily trafficked with voices of peddlers and a vast array of ancient buildings!
This was amazing...
Lin Yi watched the passersby with varied appearances, unable to help feeling awed inside that these were all his descendants!
This was his plane!
It was a pity that these passersby had no idea their Ancestral Patriarch was right beside them.
Lin Yi quickly grabbed a young scholar passing by and asked, "Brother, what dynasty is it now?"
The scholar looked at Lin Yi strangely, scoffing, "Heh, interesting. Ever since the collapse of Great Zhou, the Da Qian dynasty has been established for two hundred years. You don't even know this; are you some primitive man?"
"Thank you."
"Lunatic."
The scholar was about to walk away, cursing, when Lin Yi pulled him back again.
"Oh, by the way, where is this place?"
"The Lin Yi Continent."
The young man looked at Lin Yi as if he were a country bumpkin.
"Be more specific?"
"Da Qian Capital City, Pingyang, the city got a new name after the Pirate Empress took power. Are you seriously a primitive man or something? You look pretty decent, so how could you not know such basic common knowledge?"
The disdain on the young man's face became even more apparent.
Lin Yi was shocked.
In Bi Ji's plane, single-celled organisms like paramecia ruled the world, but his own had already seen the rise of a Pirate Empress... wait, Pirate Empress?
"Pirate Empress?"
The young man's face turned strange for a moment before he whispered, "Are you really from another land? The Pirate Empress? I heard she is a Female Immortal who got tired of cultivating her immortality, so she simply wiped out Great Zhou and declared herself emperor. But hey, that's just what I heard!"
Immortal? Destroy Zhou?!
Holy smokes, is this a lot of information or what?
"If you don't believe it, check out those statues in front of the Imperial city."
The young man pointed over there.
Lin Yi looked, and was once again taken aback.
The statues depicted a young-looking person with a smile on his face, watching over each and every baby on the ground as if they were his own children, with a tender and affectionate expression.
But this youth, it's damn me!
Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth.
The young man continued, "Since the Pirate Empress came to power, not only did she change the name of the capital, but also ordered those statues to be built. Clearly, they're our ancient human ancestors, stuff from over three thousand years ago. The Pirate Empress recognizes our Ancestral Patriarch, so doesn't that prove she's a Female Immortal who has lived for over three thousand years? Of course, that's just my speculation..."
Lin Yi's expression was odd.
Just then, the young man looked him over and couldn't help but "hm?" in surprise.
"Eh? Why do I feel like you sort of resemble our Ancestral Patriarch?"
Right when the young man was suspiciously looking toward the statue, Lin Yi swiftly flew up into the sky with a flash.
The young man was left stunned in place.
∑(O_O;)
"He he he… flew away?! Could it really be the Ancestral Patriarch manifesting?!"
Passersby looked strangely at the middle of the street, where they saw a young man kneeling, continuously kowtowing, and muttering phrases like "forgive me, Ancestral Patriarch."
"What a lunatic."
The people passing by cursed at the young man with amusement.
Lin Yi hovered midair, curiously surveying the land below.
This vast land with a sea of lights... has developed so swiftly?
Majestic ancient-style buildings stretched for miles, with countless houses and an endless number of people, and beyond that, the dignified and solemn buildings of the Imperial city. Lin Yi seriously suspected that the Pirate Empress inside was one of the clay figures he had shaped with his hands twenty minutes ago!
Wasn't there one female clay figure emitting a purple aura, which is the very essence of an Emperor?
Oh my, such irascibility. You little girl, aren't you supposed to cultivate your immortality peacefully? Why bother seizing the kingdom from ordinary folks?
After all the effort I put into crafting you so meticulously, with your large chest and perky butt, not to mention your slender waist and delicate facial features, I had no idea you'd turn out to be such a cold-hearted woman!
But at least you're dutiful, remembering to erect a statue of your dad in front of the Imperial city... Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but reveal a smile.
In this plane, only twenty or thirty minutes had passed up until now; back in Soul Land, it was still just a moment in time.
The Lottery Shield... no rush, no rush. The reward is too interesting, and Lin Yi was quite eager to see his descendants.
Going by what the young man said, the four carefully molded clay figures must have all become lords of the continent, probably all turned into Immortals.
It's just that one of the Female Immortals is a bit of a rebel, wanting to descend to the mundane world and snatch an emperor's throne...
So, since Immortal beings are born in this plane, the people here are definitely leagues above those in the Douluo plane.
He should start with these four "eldest sons and daughters," have them recognize their lineage and meet with him.
Later when Lin Yi is away, he'll leave the plane under their management.
If there's a chance later, he could send them to show off in Soul Land. With four commanders, all following Lin Yi's orders, the rest wouldn't be like headless flies disobeying commands and running around chaotically.
Thinking this, Lin Yi arrived at the gates of the Imperial city and glanced at the statue by the side.
Wasn't the Pirate Empress supposed to be a little baby back then? She still remembers her daddy's appearance. Lin Yi couldn't help but feel touched; the statue was exactly like him, even the standard of looks was identical.
With considerable confidence, he walked toward the grand entrance of the Imperial city.
"Halt! The Imperial city is off-limits!"
Two guards stated sternly.
Lin Yi smiled and pointed to the statue outside for the two guards clad in armor: "Don't you recognize who I am? I'm your Ancestral Patriarch."
The two soldiers in armor looked at Lin Yi as if he were crazy. They exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter with a "pfft."
"Ancestral Patriarch?! Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
ps. This plot won't be too long, and we will quickly return to the Lottery Shield storyline.
