Chapter 547: A Brand New Concept of Evolution

After thinking for a moment, Lan Qingyou turned sideways, called Catherine who was nearby, and gave her a few instructions.

As an existence who never lacked resources, Lan Qingyou's attitude towards these people was that things could be given, and she could even provide each of these people with a scroll so they could relocate their shelters here.

But it was strictly limited to this.

As for the 'people who have fought before' that Lan Qingyou mentioned, it literally meant those who had participated in battles.

Among those who died in the last war, a significant portion were those who stood on the Witch Race's side and participated in the battle before dying.

Although these people were also expelled, they had received a gift from the Witch Race.

On this point, Diana didn't let anyone feel slighted; she had given gifts with sufficient sincerity.

So it shouldn't be a difficult matter when it came to screening.

Besides this, Lan Qingyou's instructions also included having Diana conveniently check if there were any mutations among those revived witches.

But in all matters, it's better to be safe than sorry, so it's better to be a bit careful; anyway, it was just asking a question.

Moreover, if there really was a mutation, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing. After all, it seemed there were no problems with the transmigrators after their mutation.

Of course, this definitely still required a period of observation.

This wasn't to say that Lan Qingyou didn't trust Shang Chuan, but that she equally mistrusted everyone.

However, in this way, didn't it mean that the Witch Race could enable people to evolve without relying on Ancient Blood, simply by using magic?

Although the magic was something like the [Resurrection Spell], which meant a person had to die first, they still couldn't resist the temptation of attribute modifications!

For example...

"Is it possible to have the witches use this Resurrection Spell to mass-convert transmigrators?"

See, here it comes.

After knowing the ins and outs, Chu Yuan was definitely the first to be unable to sit still.

Lan Qingyou couldn't help rolling her eyes, and then looked at Chu Yuan.

I'm giving you a look, experience it yourself.

But as a councilor, as long as Chu Yuan was shameless enough, pretending not to see this kind of eye-roll was as easy as drinking water.

However...

If one could achieve whatever they wanted just by being shameless, then this world would be too simple.

What's more, the person he was facing didn't seem to be someone who cared about face either.

"Do you want to work my witches to death?"

Lan Qingyou knocked on the table and glared at Chu Yuan.

"Do you know how much time and how many materials the witches spent just reviving those transmigrators who died in the war?"

"If I remember correctly, you were also one of those who transported materials back then; you should know how much money this costs."

That's right.

Although the Resurrection Spell seemed like just an application of magic, the materials actually needed were not few at all.

Actually, the materials needed to revive a single person were not many.

But they couldn't withstand the large base number!

The more people revived, the more materials were needed.

Coupled with some necessary attrition in between, such as potions, magic arrays, and magic pedestals, that would cost even more money.

If it weren't for the Witch Race having solid financial resources and quite a few industries, they basically couldn't afford this kind of consumption.

But no matter what, those people had died on their territory.

And those able to live in the Forsaken Territory were undoubtedly existences pro-Witch Race. So no matter how much was consumed, Diana felt it was worth it.

Therefore, when using it, they simply hadn't considered things like 'cost' at all.

"Of course I know this. So I will provide the materials, and I will also pay the witches' salaries. Additionally, I will pay a fee to the Witch Race. What do you think?"

Knowing that a person like Lan Qingyou, who hated trouble, would definitely refuse him, Chu Yuan offered his price.

"... Not good."

Lan Qingyou shook her head, unmoved.

To be honest, she wouldn't do this kind of thankless task.

Although right now it seemed like Chu Yuan was offering quite a lot.

But compared to the trouble that would absolutely appear later, this bit of stuff was truly not enough in Lan Qingyou's eyes.

Of course.

It wasn't that the price wasn't negotiated well, but those foreseeable troubles made Lan Qingyou absolutely unwilling to get involved in this matter.

"Rather than talking about matters on my side, you might as well consider yourself."

"Myself?"

"Since the Necromancer Race can be born without using Ancient Blood, it means this evolution method without needing blood is a brand-new concept of evolution, it's just that it hasn't been found yet. So as long as you can find it, you can also create a brand-new race."

Lan Qingyou, who was afraid of trouble, used an excuse that would absolutely not be refuted.

Although it was said that there was an element of fearing trouble involved, if one looked at this issue from the perspective of a researcher, they would find that there was nothing wrong with what Lan Qingyou said.

Previously, it was because Lan Qingyou, this Tower Witch, took the first bite of the crab, letting everyone know there was such an evolutionary route.

But this didn't mean there was only one evolutionary route.

Now, a brand-new evolutionary route was right in front of them, and compared to the existing evolvers and degenerate species, this evolutionary route, tentatively named 'mutants', was more stable and unrestricted.

It could be said to be a brand-new route more suitable for the physique of transmigrator babies.

After all, there were still six or seven billion people who hadn't evolved right now.

As long as all these people could obtain evolution, then the entire Blue Star Transmigrator group could truly be considered to have firmly established a foothold in this mana-abundant otherworld in the true sense of the word.

Or rather, saying goodbye to Blue Star from the root.

After all, if they all became Karimians because of evolution, where would there be any Earthlings left?

Chu Yuan thought about it and felt that this reasoning was indeed correct.

Although researching it might be a bit difficult because there was only one 'sample'—the Necromancer Race—and the intelligence that the Witch Race's Resurrection Spell played a role.

But this wasn't something impossible to do.

The key was that if he did it according to his own ideas, the final outcome would also be controllable.

For example, a route like the Necromancer Race, which was highly likely to lean towards magic and researchers, wasn't very suitable for Chu Yuan's team.

"By the way, Tower, do you know the exact number of these people revived by the Witch Race?"

After Lan Qingyou and Chu Yuan finished their conversation, someone asked a very core question.

Population.

Although the Necromancer Race was still in the midst of gradual mutation now, and it was unknown whether everyone revived would become like this.

But this didn't hinder everyone from making guesses at all.

"I don't know the exact number, but it's probably around several million to ten million."

Lan Qingyou looked up at the sky, calculated in her mind for a while, and then stated a number without any concealment.

"..."

Tens of millions... no, even if they only took the minimum value, it would be several million.

What a terrifying number this was.

One must know that even if all the evolvers on the entire Karim Continent were added up right now, there weren't this many.

Those capable of rivaling it were probably only the degenerate species, and they had to be specific races with faster growth like Fish-Men or Goblins.
