Hours later, only three particularly thick main arteries remained uninfused on the entire planet.
The life force on the planet had completely recovered.
Fresh scents from vegetation wafted through the air.
The ground was already covered with various unknown plants.
The entire planet was enshrouded by green vegetation.
Looking at the planet from space now, it appeared in shades of green.
It was hard to imagine that just hours ago, this planet had been a desolate expanse.
Thirty percent of the planet's surface was covered by lakes and oceans.
The formerly bottomless, deep black lakes were once again brimming with clear water.
"Xi Xing, only three main arteries left!" Lin Feng reminded her.
After several hours, Xi Xing's initial excitement had somewhat subsided, but her smile remained.
She had been smiling continuously since the planet's recovery began.
"Mhm, mhm!"
"Once the main arteries are infused, my people can be born!"
"Quick, quick!" Xi Xing urged excitedly.
Lin Feng pursed his lips.
The once-mature woman had turned into a giddy girl, covered in bits of grass.
The three main arteries were incredibly thick, requiring more time for infusion than the other channels.
Having infused millions of arteries, Lin Feng felt no fatigue, only extreme boredom.
Soon, the three main arteries were also fully infused.
Lin Feng exhaled a breath of stale air and moved his hands away from the cube.
This tedious task was finally complete.
However, upon reflection, he felt somewhat tricked by Xi Xing.
Indeed, to gain the allegiance of a race, one had to pay a price first.
This was something only Lin Feng could do.
There were many life forms in this universe capable of helping Xi Xing restore the planet's life force.
But few could do it as easily as Lin Feng.
"Kitty, come here!"
Finishing his work, Lin Feng called out.
The black cat, unsure why, thought for a couple of seconds before realizing it was being called.
Was he finally going to be fed? The black cat trotted happily to Lin Feng's side, looking up with anticipation.
However, the black cat's hopes were dashed.
Lin Feng grabbed its head and began to affectionately rub it.
He completely dazed the black cat.
"So satisfying!"
Lin Feng exclaimed.
This was the advantage of having a pet.
Playing a game passively for hours, though not difficult, had been tedious and boring.
He needed to absorb some spiritual energy from the cat.
After the three main arteries were infused, pipelines made of energy bulged from the planet's surface.
According to Xi Xing's earlier explanation, these were lifelines needed for her people to be born.
They would provide sufficient energy to shape Xi Xing's race.
"Where are the lives? Why aren't any lives being born?" Lin Feng asked.
He was quite interested in Xi Xing's unique method of asexual reproduction.
But after watching for a long time, no new lives had emerged.
Xi Xing stared intently at the pipelines, smiling, "Don't rush."
She gestured, "Look closely!"
The energy pipelines snaked across the ground, casting a bright green glow upon the vegetation-covered land, a truly beautiful sight.
But Xi Xing was pointing at a specific type of vegetation.
Lin Feng looked closely. Among these plants, the most striking were enormous, fruit-laden trees, dozens of meters tall, of an unknown species.
Tiny bright specks of light drifted down from the green leaves of these trees, like fireflies, landing precisely on the energy pipelines.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The tiny specks, like seeds, began to grow rapidly.
Energy continuously surged, injecting power into the specks.
After reaching a certain height, the specks began to distort.
In just one minute, a human-like form composed entirely of energy appeared.
Hmm, looking at the symbol on its chest, it was female.
Lin Feng continued to pet the cat.
So this was how Xi Xing's people were born?
So it was true that they were "born from trees"!
But it wasn't over yet.
Shortly after the energy formed a human shape, white bones appeared within.
Next, red veins wrapped around the bones.
Energy flowed as blood through the veins, eventually converging at the chest to form a red heart!
This method of life creation was truly fascinating.
Once the bones and vascular system were fully formed, skin began to appear.
From top to bottom, as if a layer of paint had been applied, the birth of a life was complete.
"Holy crap! Kids shouldn't see this!"
Once the energy had fully transformed into a human form, Lin Feng quickly covered the black cat's eyes.
He himself shamelessly widened his eyes.
These newly born people were completely naked!
How could this suddenly be a test for a veteran like him?
The black cat meowed in annoyance.
What the heck, they're not wearing clothes, do you think I'd be interested in watching you two-legged creatures?
One by one, tiny specks transformed into Xi Xing's kin.
And yes... they were all naked...
Their hair was mostly shades of purple, some even with gradient purples.
As for their looks, there was nothing to complain about.
This was truly... Lin Feng felt this was a paradise envisioned by men...
Xi Xing's face flushed red, "This is how you wanted to see your people being born."
"Are you satisfied, new leader!"
Lin Feng nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head.
He had spotted a crucial detail.
Despite variations in chest size, there wasn't a single male among these people!
Was this a testament to asexual reproduction???
Men were completely unnecessary?!
After a batch of people had been born, the great tree seemed to enter a state of rest, no longer dropping light specks.
And those newly born people began to open their eyes, one after another.
Their bewildered gazes swept across their surroundings, finally landing on Lin Feng. Under his gaze, they all dropped to one knee in unison...
What the hell!
Lin Feng felt a rush of blood to his nose.
The visual impact...
"Xi Xing, what are they doing?"
Lin Feng asked, pinching his nose, his voice muffled.
Why were they suddenly kneeling before him?
Could his domineering aura be so strong that his identity as a savior couldn't be hidden?
"You guided the energy to revive the entire planet."
"This planet now carries your aura."
"From the moment they are born, they will remember your aura, making you their creator!"
Xi Xing explained, her face still flushed.
Even though she was also female, the scene before them made calm thought difficult.
Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly understood.
There was such a good outcome?
Wouldn't that make him their natural leader?
And wouldn't that mean he could do whatever he pleased?
Moreover, it would be convenient to manage them, and Lin Feng could truly consider them his own people.
Most importantly, they were all beautiful women!
This trip... Lin Feng felt it was a massive profit with no loss!
However, he didn't quite like the title of "leader."
Due to preconceived notions, the word always reminded him of the Autobots and that boisterous, troublesome kid Martina.
What should he have them call him?
