In contrast, even if they are both at the Nine Palace level, the elves can only live for 800 years. Naturally, they have become representatives of genetic defects and are considered to be a short-lived ghost race.

However……

This phenomenon has been reversed since the new era.

Because the upper limit of human lifespan in the New Age is 1,000 years, even at the Jiugong level.

But what about the elves?

You can live 500 years at birth.

After a little practice, after reaching the one-dimensional level, you will have a lifespan of 800 years, which is close to the upper limit of human lifespan.

In this way, in the old era, the short-lived ghost race was considered to be genetically defective. In the new era, it has directly become the representative of the immortal species and is recognized as a long-lived race.

Regarding the issue of lifespan in the old and new eras, Li Guanqi actually took the time to ask Pluto.

Pluto's answer is - I don't know.

If he had to give a reason, it might be that the Human Emperor extracted too much Origin Qi from this planet at the end of the Old Era, which caused changes in the planet's environment, making humans in the New Era after that not able to survive for more than a thousand years.

According to Pluto's guess, Li Guanqi's lifespan should be different from that of New Age people, and there would be no upper limit of a thousand years.

He should be the same as the humans in the old era. After the Nine Palaces level, he can live for thousands of years.

Of course, this is speculation.

However, Li Guanqi really hopes that this guess will come true.

3. Rare in quantity.

To put it bluntly, the elves are still different-blooded humans, and different-blooded humans have one characteristic, that is, the "winning rate" of pregnancy is extremely low, and special medicines are needed to increase the chance of pregnancy.

Fortunately, humans in the Old Age had extremely long lifespans. Even though there was a vacuum period without medicines in the history of the Old Age, which made it impossible for humans of different blood to get pregnant, there was still enough time for humans to realize this and develop related medicines.

, assisted reproduction.

Humans of different blood have difficulty in reproducing originally, but after using fertility drugs, they can be like normal humans.

In the 21st century, almost all film and television works that feature elves elements will have the setting "Elves have difficulty in reproducing". It is said that elves have difficulty giving birth to children and the fertility rate is extremely low.

However, this elves are man-made elves.

Although the Western god wanted to create an elven race, he did not want to completely fit these settings. He did not want such negative settings at all.

He never thought of deliberately making it difficult for the elves to reproduce.

He even successfully modified genes so that the elves can get pregnant as easily as normal humans without the need for fertility drugs. It can be said to be a major breakthrough in genetic modification.

After the birth of the elves, there was indeed no problem of low fertility.

But a new genetic defect appeared.

The fertility rate of the elves is fine, but the survival rate of infants and young children is horribly low.

From the time elves are born, between the ages of 1 and 3, elves will suffer from various genetic diseases that cannot be cured at all, and the mortality rate is extremely high. This makes it easy for elves to give birth to children, but if you want an elf baby to grow up

To become an adult is as difficult as reaching the sky.

The Western god tried to reform this problem, but in the end he was unable to do anything.

The infant mortality rate is extremely high. This characteristic makes the elves both ignore life and attach great importance to life.

After hundreds of years and thousands of years of habit, the elves have become accustomed to the death of their children. After all, one is born and the other dies. If they cry bitterly every time and are so sad that they can't help themselves, then they won't be able to survive at all.

So, the elves have gotten used to it...of course, they have to get used to it.

They must get used to the fact that their children will die before they are 3 years old. They must give birth to more than a dozen children and not be too sad if they die even if they have more than a dozen children.

In order to achieve this, elf parents will not raise their babies themselves, but will hand them over to professional elves to take care of them after they are born. This is a helpless move to avoid more emotions.

Most of these babies handed over will die of illness before they are 3 years old.

The age of 3 is a critical moment of life and death for the elves.

As long as they survive past the age of 3, the genetic disease will quickly disappear, they will recover, and these children will return to the arms of their parents.

Because we often lose, we cherish it more.

Because of this, once a child survives the age of 3, the elves will attach great importance to it. Their friendship with their compatriots is far deeper than that of any other human nation. They are the most united race and no one can disintegrate it from within.

them.

Because they know very well that when one of their own elves grows up, dozens or hundreds of elves die in infancy.

They understand the preciousness of life.

History can be a mirror.

The elves have never had a civil war.

4. The elves have various abilities.

The elves are genetically modified humans, but not only genetically modified, the Western god also gave them special blood.

It was the product of many years of experiments by the Western gods - the blood of elves.

This foreign blood is essentially the fusion of countless different bloods, which contain a large number of superpowers, and each one is different.

The original idea of ​​that Western god was to create a powerful and perfect race that could possess multiple powers at the same time.

But things went counterproductive.

The beautiful idea came to naught. He failed to realize it after all. The elves are still the same as humans of different blood, and can only have one kind of superpower.

However, he was not a complete failure.

Because of the elves' superpowers, it becomes random.

Assuming that there are 100 kinds of abilities hidden in the blood of elves, then after the elves are born, they will randomly inherit a certain kind of ability from the genetic ability library.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis. After all, there are far more than 100 kinds of abilities hidden in the elven bloodline.

However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that the elves become more like a race independent of humans.

If the entire elven family only had the same superpower, it would be no different from the human family of different blood.

But they have many superpowers, and it looks like they are really an independent race, and they can get random superpower talents.

【Beautiful】【Longevity】【Few People】【Random Power】

These are the four major characteristics of the elves.

It stands to reason that the emergence of the elves proves that humans can obtain higher talents through genetic modification and alien blood improvement. Then the gods of the old era should crazily transform all humans and make humans more and more "perfect".

But it's not.

Because the elves have never given birth to gods.

According to Pluto, humans in the New Age cannot become gods because of insufficient source energy.

In the ancient era of gods, the source of Qi was very abundant.

However, humans who have been modified by genetic modification and alien blood, that is, these elves, can open the Law Shrine, but they are not qualified to enter the Shrine.

When every elf reaches the final step of the Nine Palaces level, he will feel that he is in place in all aspects, but the Law Palace refuses to accept him and does not recognize him as his master.

No matter how abundant the Origin Qi is, elves cannot become gods.

Other than that, the orcs are the same.

The gods don't understand the principle.

Could it be that humans whose genes have been artificially tampered with are unable to become gods?

But receiving the strange blood from the cursed spirit will also change your genes...

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the principle, at least the result is clear - if you mess with genes, humans will not be able to become gods.

The most heyday of the Old Age was the age of gods.

Everyone aims to become a god.

Therefore, being unable to become a god is a fatal flaw.

Although it stands to reason that most gods should be happy to see this situation out of selfish motives. After all, then the hierarchy of gods will be fixed, and there will be no newcomers.

But not all gods are overly selfish.

Led by Fire God Mengyao, a group of powerful and righteous gods who came out of the doomsday era strictly oppose this behavior.

And this idea was also inherited by subsequent god-kings.

In general, justice outweighed selfishness, so that humans were not genetically modified and retained the hope of becoming gods.

Because of this, the gods of the old era gradually avoided talking about genetic modification and alien blood improvement. At most, they used it to create some special alien blood families to protect their own divine domain.

When Li Guanqi and Shunkong talked about this, they both agreed that the Ying family might be this kind of product.

Although his lifespan is short, his growth cycle is also short. He will be replaced after he dies. After decades, he will be a Nine Palace level again. He can be called the best subordinate.

However, Shunkong had never heard of anyone similar to the Ying family in the old era. He could only guess that they were some secret organization, so they were not known to anyone.

Even Pluto doesn't know any more information about the Ying family.
