Both of our worlds are rather ordinary, but the Spirit of Origin within you is clearly stronger than mine. Could it be that you have received Original Fortune from Li Jing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiaocai’s question, Ling Ling nodded without hesitation, and muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I met Li Jing a long time ago when his independent world hadn’t yet become self-sufficient. I got a lot of benefits, and even showed signs of transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiaocai looked envious and asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, have you completed your transformation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Ling Ling mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For us Spirits of Origin, transforming is incredibly difficult. But as long as I stay here with Li Jing, the transformation can be completed. In fact, I eat well, sleep well, and enjoy my time here. The progress is quite pleasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ling Ling say this, Xiaocai was even more envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear if she was envious that Ling Ling would eventually complete her transformation or that the latter could eat, drink, and sleep well here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Jing listened to the conversation between the two little creatures, he looked down thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never knew why Ling Ling chose to stay, and he never deliberately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the mystery was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems like after receiving Original Fortune, Ling Ling exhibited signs of imminent transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t that she was inadequate, it was that the timing wasn’t quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the question arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would the extremely ancient and formidable Spirits of Origin transform into if they took one step further?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if knowing what Li Jing was thinking, Ling Ling turned her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I complete my transformation, I will still fundamentally be a Spirit of Origin. It’s just that my rank will be elevated, and my capabilities will significantly increase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Xiaocai interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many different ranks of Origin as well. We Spirits of Origin actually belong to the lowest tier of Origin, it’s just that as the origin of life for a particular world, we are special. Some mid-tier or even high-tier Origin entities may not be comparable to us in terms of special traits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she casually pointed at the still unconscious Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For instance, their ancestors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing instinctively turned to look at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phoenix and Golden Crow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai affirmed, before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I don’t know what kind of Origin their ancestors were, it is not hard to deduce from their lineage that they were both Mid-tier Origin entities. They both had already passed away in the distant past, and the only traces left are their meager lineage. From this perspective, they are not comparable to us Spirits of Origin. Even though we Spirits of Origin will not have lineages, we generally do not perish, even if the world where we were born is destroyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing listened thoughtfully and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are different levels of Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first he had heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Xiaocai was explaining was not hard to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Spirits of Origin are the lowest rank of Origin, they are, in fact, very special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s mainly manifested in their longevity, which far exceeds that of other Origin entities and is immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the flip side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defects of Spirits of Origin are also evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their combat power is almost zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only means available to them is to interfere with the evolution of other life forms through life rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, the cost is enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Origin entities like the Fire Phoenix and the Golden Crow must have the fighting power to destroy heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of curiosity, Li Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What rank does Charming Spirit belong to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaocai’s voice replied, then added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strictly speaking, she is far stronger than a high-level Spirit of Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not easy to explain the special characteristics of the Spirit of Origin like Charming Spirit in a few words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Ling picked up the conversation, speaking reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinary Spirits of Origin appear as some kind of origin during the evolution of the world. For example, Xiaocai and I belong to the origin of life, and so do the ancestors of those two behind us. Spirits of Origin like us may be born in any naturally occurring Mini World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she cocked her head and organized her language, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can understand that we, Xiaocai and I, appeared along with the formation of heaven and earth. But the Charming Spirit appeared after the birth of the heavens and the earth because of her. The differences between us and her are entirely not of the same level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded in understanding upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little creatures explained it in great detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fundamental difference between Charming Spirit and them is the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing couldn’t help but anticipate what Ling Ling would look like after her metamorphosis while silently digesting the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Ling Ling saying that she would still be a Spirit of Origin after her metamorphosis, her level would presumably be significantly elevated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While considering whether he should provide Ling Ling with as many good food and drinks as possible to ensure that she could \"eat well, drink well\", Li Jing suddenly felt something and turned his head to look behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian seemed to wake up at the same time, then both of them soared into the sky, their faces filled with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two of them take to the skies, Li Jing raised his hand with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be nervous, it’s already over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were slightly taken aback at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling unconscious, for the two of them at this Emperor Level, is unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even common Venerables can’t lose consciousness easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the brink of death, their consciousness should remain clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, seeing Li Jing sitting there unscathed, the two of them were somewhat relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they can’t imagine what would be waiting for them when they wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having exchanged a glance, the two of them descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing took the opportunity to brew some tea for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Blue Phoenix gave a light smile and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian frowned and looked at the perfect golden radiance shrouding Shi Zixuan, avoiding Li Jing, Ling Ling, and Xiaocai, and naturally avoiding Blue Phoenix, he asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening to Zixuan...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Original Fortune, she received it when she was still walking between life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing answered casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian slowly typed out a question mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the founder of an independent world, of course, he knows what Original Fortune is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t that be a benefit that only exists before an independent world has its own heaven and earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jin Ritian casting an inquiring look at him with a confused look on his face, Li Jing shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look at me like that, I can’t explain it either. You could think that my Little Universe has encountered a BUG, and when I meet the rules that have not yet been formed, Original Fortune will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Blue Phoenix also received Original Fortune in my place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An independent world that has already formed its own heaven and earth having a BUG, especially one as incredible as Original Fortune, truly enlightened him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Blue

rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who hasn’t tried to complete as many rules as possible in their own independent world before it has become its own heaven and earth, and by doing so cultivate a solid foundation and gain favors along the way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is rare is to be able to get Original Fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like Li Jing, a human, naturally would not stand a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones who could potentially receive the Original Fortune were Alien Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian happened to be one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never received it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corresponding benefit, there is only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone tends to \"favor\" their own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Emperor, he had no opportunities to pick up such \"favors\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the level, the colder it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once at the Emperor level, one usually has no friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones who could barely be called friends, were Shi Zixuan, Xiang Dong, and other famous Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their independent world had been self-contained long ago, with no possibility of the Original Fortune descending upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting these aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What bothered Jin Ritian at this moment was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he formally recognized Li Jing a little too late, allowing the Blue Phoenix to take the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been watching Li Jing since his arrival in the Immortal Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had befriended him earlier, who knows, the Original Fortune might have been his!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saddest thing was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of the Blue Phoenix, and her \"attributes\" overlapped with his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were divine beasts and birds, and both were of the fire element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference between the two was simply the difference in species and gender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules that could be \"referred\" and completed on Jin Ritian could also be found on the Blue Phoenix, allowing a person to take all the advantages at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Blue Phoenix now, Jin Ritian understood why she, who had been slow to claim her title, suddenly proclaimed herself as an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Original Fortune must have filled the gap that prevented her from becoming an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quietly telling himself \"it’s all fate,\" Jin Ritian sat down at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the Void Human-Shaped Fruit, the evil

killed a Void Dark Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Li Jing spaired no details about what happened after Jin Ritian and the Blue Phoenix fainted, as well as his own speculation after the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were startled after hearing the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they woke up and heard Li Jing say \"it’s over,\" they found him sitting there

trying to digest this information, a Chaos original stone, not far behind them leading to Chen Tang City in the Immortal Realm, suddenly emitted a dark light, and Xiang Dong stepped out from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their heads upon sensing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiang Dong saw them, he was also a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were they all here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were sitting here, drinking tea...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they not a bit too leisurely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t Li Jing supposed to be crossing the catastrophe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits of crossing the catastrophe were well known to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was here, had something gone wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, Xiang Dong’s gaze lingered on Li Jing, then he quickly noticed something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Smoke Eye to conceal his aura, Li Jing should have been easily recognizable to Xiang Dong. But looking at him now, he had a profound and unfathomable feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had reached the same level as him, and was by no means inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, Xiang Dong expressed his surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, are you... an emperor now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiang, you missed a lot while you weren’t here. Come sit down, and we’ll talk slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a response, Xiang Dong immediately understood that the other party had indeed become an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this not be considered unbelievable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had skipped the Twelfth Realm and ascended directly to the level of the Thirteen Realms. His tribulation had not even ended, and he was already an emperor!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Dong was utterly stupefied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he noticed Shi Zixuan next to him, bathed in a strange radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Jin Ritian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Dong’s eyes were sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, he confirmed it was the Original Fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Jing in surprise, Xiang Dong had many questions, but he didn’t know where to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t come back to ask questions either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Xiang Dong sat down, grabbed the cup of tea that Li Jing had poured, drained it in one gulp, and then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll talk about the rest later, I’ve deciphered the inscription on the stele, and there’s a lot of shocking news. Let’s have a look first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took out a strange jade stone and infused it with immortal spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the immortal spirit infused, a stele with holographic projection appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>",3083,"2026-06-06T07:41:57.851Z",1,"novelbin.me","acb5d1e77ff134884f7412ba124ee9dcd5ada296a990d86fe11cac4172f8bada","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-549","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-547",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
