Compared to the past, Kalunu was aiming at the entire World of G.o.ds. Within the scope of the World of G.o.ds, any lifeform with a dragon bloodline would receive the seed of his bloodline. Thus, the changes were not limited to dragons.

The other races with dragon bloodlines had also changed significantly. These people were the main force of Kalunus operations this time. Otherwise, the number of the Giant Dragon Tribe would be less than a thousand. Why would he need to go through so much trouble to do this?

There was no need for that. Standing in the air, Kalunu s.h.i.+fted his gaze and silently looked at the desert behind him. The largest number of Kobolds in the world were gathered there.

After hundreds of years of development, the Kalunu Empire had become even more prosperous. At that time, the kobolds were prosperous under Kalunus leaders.h.i.+p and were number one in the wilderness.

During these hundreds of years, Kalunu did not stay idle. Even when he was sleeping on the Dragon Island and digesting in the Dragon G.o.ds secret realm, he did not let go of the affairs of the Kalunu Empire.

After all, this was the absolute center and place with the greatest potential compared to Dragon Island. Before Kalunu went to Dragon Island, he deliberately left an avatar to perform the kings duties in his place to prevent any accidents from happening to himself.

The Kalunu Empire had long changed after hundreds of years. The most obvious was the productivity surge. The greatest characteristic of Kobolds was their extraordinary reproduction ability. Their extremely powerful reproduction ability was worthy of praise.

Over the past hundreds of years, the number of Kobolds in the entire desert has already exceeded 100 billion, even after the population had been suppressed.

Because after the productivity surge, the pressure on normal Kobolds lives increased. Hence the fertility rate had generally decreased. In addition, after the dragons blood baptism, the Kobolds reproduction ability had also decreased, which was why they could barely maintain this growth rate. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying.

Hundreds of years ago, there were only tens of millions of Kobolds in the desert. However, after these hundreds of years, only the number of Kobolds in the desert had reached tens of billions.

In reality, to cover up the obvious growth of Kobolds and prevent the Kalunu Empire from becoming so conspicuous in the eyes of the G.o.ds, the Kalunu Empire had previously specially opened secret realms and placed Kobolds in them.

There were also worlds like the World of Saint Child and the world of mutated beasts. Many habitable stars were opened to relocate many Kobolds, which was why the number of Kobolds in the desert did not seem particularly terrifying. However, if these Kobolds were counted as well, the number would probably be more than a few hundred billion, reaching an appalling level.

Sometimes, even Kalunu thought that perhaps he did not need to do so much. He only needed to silently support the Kobolds and continuously open up a large living s.p.a.ce for them to continue to reproduce. Then, with the continuous increase in the number of Kobolds, the power of faith the Kobolds provided would probably be able to push him to the level of Supreme Divine Power.

Nonetheless, this was just a thought. The path of pure faith was too weak, so the foundation would also be weak to rely on this method to advance to Supreme Divine Power.

In comparison, Chen Heng, who directly advanced to Supreme Divine Power by relying on the acc.u.mulation of laws and authority, was much more stable. As long as he was unwilling, no one would be able to separate him from the Supreme Divine Power.

Therefore, with Chen Heng as a reference, Kalunu clearly understood the path he would take in the future. The three paths were parallel with the power of authority as the foundation, supported by the path of faith and bloodline.

This way of advancing to Supreme Divine Power might not be the most stable, but it was also relatively stable and would not easily cause any major problems. However, as the seed of bloodline spread, the enormous Kobolds began to undergo significant changes.

Roar!

The Kobolds let out waves of roars from the front, outside the tall buildings around the Kalunu Empire. Their eyes instantly turned golden. The influence of the seed of bloodline began to arrive. Their bodies were severely affected and began to transform into Kalunus life form instinctively.

Nonetheless, this transformation was not absolute. It was just an instinctive approach and imitation. Therefore, it was impossible to transform truly. After all, these Kobolds were too weak for Kalunus current life level. Therefore, if they completely transformed into another life form, there would only be one consequence to collapse immediately.

Therefore, most of these Kobolds could only transform a little, touching Kalunus shadow or even his aura a little. However, this was enough for normal Kobolds. A little divine aura would be a great sublimation for them.

Before this transformation, most of the Kobolds were not as strong as ordinary mortals. However, now, although most Kobolds were still inferior to apprentice-level professionals, they could at least catch up to or even surpa.s.s an ordinary adult human.

From being inferior to an ordinary mortal to being comparable to an adult human, this change didnt seem to be much. Still, it was very significant because this was only an ordinary individual. Those individuals with outstanding bloodlines and talents had even stronger transformations.

After being stimulated by the seed of bloodline, the bloodlines in their bodies had undergone various transformations and had mutated. As a result, many of the bloodlines in the Kobolds bodies had even reached a level comparable to that of an adult dragon.

This mutation was very common among the Kobolds than in other dragon-descent races. This was because the Kobolds had a huge base. The possibility of a mutation was minimal, and most of the mutations were not benign, so the probability was even smaller.

Only with a huge base like the Kobolds, with tens of billions of terrifying races in the World of G.o.ds alone, could there be enough mutations to achieve a similar effect. These mutated bloodlines would be pa.s.sed down among the Kobolds if nothing went wrong.

Nonetheless, with the Kobolds terrifying reproduction ability, it would not take long for them to spread rapidly. Kalunus actions might only be a simple enhancement for other races.

Nonetheless, it was an epic level of sublimation to the Kobolds. It directly pulled the Kobolds up and made them superior to mortals. It would be terrifying if the Kobolds terrifying reproduction ability were included.

Hmm, their bodies have generally become strong and tall

Standing in the air, Kalunu was observing the changes in the Kobolds. Before this, the Kobolds were short, generally only a little over one meter in size if an adult did not awaken the dragon blood in their body.

This kind of body was very disadvantageous in a battle, especially for those below the Fourth Rank. On the other hand, this body size was very useful in a battle below the Fourth Rank. If the body were large enough, it would be a huge advantage in a life-and-death battle.

In the past, the average height of the Kobolds was around 1.34 meters. Yet now, after the improvement of the seed of the bloodline, they were no different from ordinary humans. As far as Kalunu could see, most of the Kobolds were already 1.67 meters tall, and their bodies had also expanded.

At this moment, they looked somewhat like Drakonids though they were not as tall. There were still circles of scales on their bodies, forming a layer of scale armor, which could provide a good defense against swords.

Their vision used to be very weak. At night, their vision was fine, but during the day, they became short-sighted. Yet now, the situation has improved. Even during the day, their vision was not inferior to that of an ordinary human male. On the contrary, at night, their vision was far better than that of humans, comparable to some species of nightwalkers.

This was not strange because, originally, the Kobolds were night walkers. Not only did they hunt at night, but they also walked underground for a long time and even in various mines. So, naturally, they developed good night vision.

Other aspects also improved besides the changes in their physique and vision. In general, if it were in the past, no one would believe they were Kobolds but instead would mistake them for Drakonids. A pure Kobold would not be as powerful as them.

Kalunu was satisfied after reviewing all the data. However, to him, the most important thing about Kobolds was their terrifying reproduction ability. This was exactly what Kalunu had expected.

The stronger an individuals innate quality was, the weaker their reproduction ability would be. Yet, unfortunately, this was also a law of nature that was hard to break.

After undergoing a metamorphosis, the newborn Kobolds reproduction ability would inevitably be weakened. However, this weakening only applied to the Kobolds themselves. If humans, Centaurs, and other races knew about this, they would probably curse.

In the past, Kobolds could give birth when they were about four to five years old. After that, they could give birth to at least a dozen eggs yearly, and these eggs could hatch into adult Kobolds if nothing went wrong.

In theory, Kobolds could multiply their numbers several times a year and reproduce every year after adulthood, which was indeed powerful. Nonetheless, that was only in theory.

Kobolds could not have that much food to reproduce under natural conditions. In addition, most Kobolds mothers were malnourished, so even if they could reproduce every year in theory, in reality, their bodies could not bear it.

Under natural conditions, Kobolds mothers would only reproduce if the conditions were right and they had enough food. Moreover, the compet.i.tion and war between Kobolds would also cause damage due to various conditions, such as the foraging of other creatures in the outside world.

There were about ten eggs left, and only three could hatch under natural conditions. Moreover, these three eggs would take five to six years to become adult Kobolds.

Moreover, there would also be all sorts of accidents, such as the lack of food, the predation of other life forms, the internal strife between Kobolds, and so on. Hence, Kobolds fertility was not as exaggerated as imagined if that was the case.

In other words, the Kobolds exaggerated fertility was forced out by the harsh natural environment. If they did not give birth to so many, the Kobolds tragic status in the past would have been extinct long ago.

However, this was only under the conditions of the wild. This figure was terrifying after the establishment of the Kalunu Empire. The establishment of the industrial system had already been supported by external channels such as the World of Saint Child and the Mutant World.

The Kobolds within the Kalunu Empire discovered for the first time that they did not have to go hungry anymore. Every year, there was an endless supply of food, and there was an endless supply of food. As a result, the Kobolds could reproduce freely. The powerful Kobold mothers would lay at least a dozen eggs every year.

The quality of these Kobold eggs seemed quite good because of the ample nutrition. Moreover, most of them could be hatched with the perfect protection and breeding mechanism.

Furthermore, the Kobolds no longer faced harsh compet.i.tion from the outside world due to the Kalunu Empires internal protection. As a result, these hatched young Kobolds could grow up smoothly.

The number of Kobolds in the empire had steadily risen in the past hundreds of years. Even if some of the Kobolds had gone through the bloodline sublimation, and their terrifying fertility was no longer there, they still couldnt stop the terrifying fertility rate.

At this rate, the entire desert would probably be filled up in no time. Yet now, the situation was different. After Kalunu planted the seed of bloodline, the fertility of the transformed Kobolds decreased.

According to Kalunus observation, the current Kobolds could only produce four or five eggs annually even if they reproduced. This number was more than twice as low as in the past. It was only referring to the normal Kobolds.

As the Kobolds continued to reproduce, the higher level of the Kobolds bloodline would cover them, and the reproduction ability of the entire Kobold race would be much weaker. Yet, even so, this reproduction ability was superior to many races, including humans.

Faced with this terrifying number of Kobolds, ordinary humans could only kneel on the ground and cry bitterly. How could there be any comparison?

Fortunately, although my strength has increased, my ability to reproduce has decreased to a certain extent. Its not too exaggerated

Sensing the changes in the Kobolds, Kalunu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, this was not the end. Other than the Kobolds in the World of G.o.ds, in the other secret realms and other worlds, those Kobolds still needed to do it again, which is a considerable amount of work.
