I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1072 - 563: Serves You Right for Being Reckless—The Worldline Has Shifted, Haven’t It? (Part 2)

As for concentration, it doesn't matter anymore. Gu Shanhai can cultivate high-concentration bloodlines himself, or even go as far as cloning to revive the species.

"Otherwise, why not create a whole antagonist to compete against the Jade Tree?"

Gu Shanhai suddenly remembered this idea.

After all, if he doesn't handle it, within one or two months the Jade Tree will mature and transform completely, leaving no one in the world capable of defeating it.

It's already formidable, and coupled with the fact that it's the protagonist, what else is there to play?

"Even if the other side takes on the responsibility of leading an era, it's too lonely without a rival."

"But creating an antagonist from the nobility's bloodline is a bit difficult."

The Jade Tree's strength isn't related to the Tide of Magic Power; it was purely modified by Gu Shanhai, so it doesn't rely heavily on the external energy environment.

In contrast, the bloodlines of this nobility greatly depend on the external environment.

It's like insects; if there's sufficient oxygen in the air, they can grow to large sizes, but if not, they remain small creatures. Even large insects differ greatly from their original size.

The Wizard World's magic bloodlines are in such a situation; they need appropriate environments to develop.

This makes it technically possible for Gu Shanhai to create a big antagonist utilizing all the noble bloodlines, but the environment doesn't permit it.

"If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have made the autonomous engine; the protagonist's halo exploiting its gaps is truly remarkable."

Currently, the Jade Tree's power is around the level of a first-level wizard; it doesn't have world-ending capabilities, though it could destroy Dawn Holy City with some effort, making it invincible as the Low Magic Era arrives.

This is just its unfed state; once the Jade Tree consumes the Expeditionary Army and transforms, its power should reach at least a second-level wizard.

Its power can't improve further because the Expeditionary Army's quality is too poor.

But this is merely the starting point for the Jade Tree, which will soon advance into the phase of energy manipulation, self-cultivating and growing.

It inherently possesses the protagonist's halo and a powerful autonomous engine, so its growth will undoubtedly be faster.

The next step is world domination and using humans as livestock.

"Thinking about it, I seem to have indirectly screwed over the Wizard World?" Gu Shanhai suddenly realized.

Though because of Isso, the Wizard World shifted towards bloodline-focused paths, this accumulation provided enough foundation for future generations to have enough experience, opening the true Wizard World for external conquest.

Now, due to the Jade Tree's emergence, Isso's role as the protagonist is conflicted, and the Wizard World's current strength cannot rectify this.

"This means the Wizard World might turn into the Jade World?"

The Jade Tree's potential is quite high, and with the world's support, external conquests aren't difficult, except effectively pushing world development remains an issue.

Given its mindset, more ideas would be focused internally for exploitation.

Its thinking formed from fused people, neither commoners nor nobles, holds much regard for the concept of the world.

Moreover, if the breeding process starts, humans akin to livestock would become progressively stupid, achieving no progress.

"Wait, if I create an antagonist, even if they win, it wouldn't become the Wizard World, only a Bloodline World..."

Gu Shanhai realized once again that his interference probably ceased the Wizard World from existing.

Unless some immortal figures within the Wizard World emerge to suppress... but even then, likely to no avail.

Even if they exist, these immortals are at most third-level wizards. This isn't the future Wizard World, merely a small Wizard World that can't break its limits before absorbing other worlds from the celestial cluster.

Gu Shanhai also investigated, finding no immortal wizard existence, only fragments from the past possibly retaining some effects due to bloodlines.

"Seems like my meddling locked it up; without my interference, even my future experiments would be affected."

Gu Shanhai doesn't wish for the Jade Tree's sole dominance.

"Alright, I'll spend some money then." Gu Shanhai sighed. He can resolve the issue where bloodlines are restricted by environmental factors.

It's simply a matter of listing a shell entity, adapting the bloodline so it's unrestricted.

The downside is he has to supply resources himself.

Extracting resources from the Wizard World is pointless; it's poor, unable to squeeze even a bit of profit.

The future's rich Wizard World is a matter for the future; the current Wizard World struggles to maintain a protagonist, let alone allowing Gu Shanhai to mold a super antagonist.

The actual benefit presently lies in the celestial bodies and Tide of Magic Power, which are inseparable from the Wizard World's rise.

"Once I've completed research related to celestial bodies and the Tide of Magic Power, I'll take back double."

How much doubles depends on how much wealth these projects can produce.

Gu Shanhai wants as much as there is.

"Next, choose a suitable candidate."

"Ordinary people definitely won't work; they only possess normal magic bloodlines, nobility is needed."

"And even if I wanted to choose, I couldn't; they're oppressed and brainwashed, dying of malnutrition or becoming another Isso in their growth."

"I must choose those rebellious yet pampered nobles."

"Ideally, choose someone a bit dim-witted and a big baby."

This time, Gu Shanhai is choosing someone to compete directly against the Jade Tree, literally fight, not plot against the Jade Tree.

Having absorbed and assimilated so many, the Jade Tree undoubtedly possesses exceptional wisdom, though unsure of its nature, the tactics are remarkable.

"Damn, why is meeting both dim-witted and big baby criteria so difficult?" Gu Shanhai's expression shows frustration.

He sifted through the nobility but found no suitable candidate.

The nobility have large estates; while their minds may not be brilliant, they're normal at least.

As for bastards, he doesn't consider them; their status makes seizing power difficult unless the family's heirs are entirely gone.

However, even Lorent's bloodline, after his family's annihilation, hasn't been wiped out; his wife and children in the Moon Flower Silver Wolf Territory can inherit positions.

In terms of heirs, bastards ascending is extremely rare; through noble history, fewer than ten bastards have risen.

"If it comes to that, I'll lend a helping hand." Gu Shanhai sighed.

He can only somewhat relax the conditions.

"Forget IQ, choose a big baby, preferably newly ascended... alright, scrap this point, where is there such coincidence."

Gu Shanhai knows he can't request too much, as this is just a small world, so the total number of nobles is limited, matching his criteria even less.

After some picking and choosing, he quickly selected a hapless soul.

"It'll be you, say goodbye to your appearance." Gu Shanhai eyed a young man, watching as the young man's Earl father neared death. Once the father passes, the young man will naturally inherit the Earl title.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you need to say goodbye to your father too."

Gu Shanhai glanced at his Earl father, who had about a year to live, but Gu Shanhai couldn't wait that long, having to assist the process to quicken the departure.
