"Starting from Level 3 Planetary Lord, the reason why it is the Intermediate-Level Planetary Lord…" Ned looked at Sebastian and said, "Except for the further improvement of physical fitness, the Planetary Lord can use their creature's Supernatural Trait."
"Supernatural Trait?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows. He had heard similar words before, but not much was known. After all, in the previous few months, Sebastian, along with other contestants, always put their heart and soul into the game, so there was no effort to learn more about this.
"Yes." Ned nodded and said, "It's a Supernatural Trait. Because the planets created by each Planetary Lord are different, even if it's the same race. But in terms of specific developments, there will be differences, so the Supernatural Traits of each planet are different. Look at me, I'm to be promoted to a Level 3 Planetary Lord, but the quality of my body has not improved so much. Do you think I can be compared with a Level 3 creature?"
"No." Sebastian shook his head. It was obvious at a glance.
"Don't talk about Level 3 creatures." Ned smiled and said, "Even Level 2 Super Tier Creatures are stronger. Currently, we are still mortals, and only after reaching Level 5 will we become more powerful. But…" Ned paused for a moment and said, "After Level 3, we will also be able to have combat power that is no weaker than that of creatures on our respective planets."
"Because of this Supernatural Trait?" Sebastian asked.
"Yes." Ned nodded slightly and said, "First of all, you must know that you can extract items from the planet. Take the planet where the Elf race is built as an example; you can extract such things as the Elf King Bow."
Sebastian knew this. Level 1 and Level 2 planets were still too weak. Not to mention extraction, the Planetary Lord had to send some precious treasures in.
"Of course, there is nothing good from Low-Level planets." Ned smiled and said, "Generally speaking, if you want to extract good items, you must be at least a Level 4 planet. Like the spaceship we're on, those are all products of planets above Level 5. A Low-Level planet doesn't even have minerals, so extracting items is just the most basic."
Ned paused for a moment and continued, "There are not many good items you can extract from a Level 3 planet, except for Supernatural Traits. If you create an Elf race, you can use the characteristics of the Elves, like their archery, which lets you instantly gain a superb archery level."
Sebastian nodded slightly. These things had been mentioned before to some extent. This was also a huge benefit of being a Planetary Lord, no need for personal training; the abilities could be used directly.
"It's not just that." Ned continued, "The benefits of being a Planetary Lord aren't limited to the Elf race. Other species' characteristics, including the Battle Treant, can also be inherited. So the more races you build, the more traits you can use. You can even use multiple Supernatural Characteristics at the same time to make yourself extremely powerful. This is one of the main reasons many Planetary Lords are eager to create more races."
Hearing this, Sebastian nodded. This was the first time he had heard it explained in such detail.
"But more is not always better." Ned smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'don't bite off more than you can chew.' The more Traits you have, the harder it becomes to use them effectively. For Planetary Lords new to this, it's better to specialize in one or two Traits. Take the Elves as an example, archery itself is divided into many types. Some Elves excel at long-range shots, some at power, and so on. What you need to do is integrate these characteristics into a single, powerful archery style."
"It shouldn't be easy, right?" Sebastian asked.
"Of course not." Ned smiled lightly. "If it were easy, why would I explain so much? It's much simpler to use a single ability, while combining multiple powerful characteristics is extremely difficult. So…" Ned glanced at Sebastian and said, "It's best to develop a Supernatural creature that already combines these power characteristics. That way, you can directly use them without assembling them yourself. Unfortunately…" Ned sighed, "This is mostly idealized as only a few can do it. Even after inheriting the characteristics, you still need frequent use to gain proficiency."
"Sounds complicated," Sebastian said.
"Exactly." Ned nodded. "It depends on talent. Some Planetary Lords are outstanding at building planets, but their personal combat ability is mediocre. That's why all Planetary Lords favor one quality above all else —" Ned deliberately paused and smiled at Sebastian. "Passive Traits. For example, the powerful life resilience of the Treant is a passive trait. Once inherited, your body automatically gains the same characteristics. There are even more powerful Passive Traits. Once inherited, they're practically invincible."
A trace of envy flashed in Ned's eyes.
Hearing this, Sebastian couldn't help thinking of Terra, the planet he had built. From Terra, there was nothing extraordinary; there wasn't even a trace of supernatural power. It was just an ordinary planet.
"If I want to inherit characteristics, what can I inherit?" Sebastian suddenly asked. In terms of physical fitness, he was already close to the peak of Level 2 Planetary Lord, but the humans on Terra were all ordinary people.
"Right." Ned suddenly remembered something and hurriedly added, "There are also some characteristics that can't be inherited temporarily."
Sebastian looked at him curiously.
"Some characteristics require a strong physique to support them," Ned explained. "For example, the Dragon clan you met before, their fire breath is unusable. Their bodies can withstand it, but your throat would be destroyed if you tried to use it."
Sebastian blinked. That was… strange.
"And there's more." Ned continued, "For example, the powerful body of the Dragon Clan, you can only inherit its life resilience. What qualifies as Supernatural Characteristics and what doesn't depends on the situation. There are simply too many types to count." Ned looked at Sebastian and said, "You don't need to worry about it for now. First, identify the Supernatural Characteristics of your planet, practice them well, and become familiar with them. Maintain your original planetary talent and follow the promotion rules from Level 2 to Level 3. If your original talent was Mythical, and the choice is Legendary, when you pass, your planet's talent will drop to the Legendary level. If you fail, it's a complete failure, and you'll be stuck at Level 2 for life. Still, it's much easier than the promotion assessment from Level 1 to Level 2, because this time, the Planetary Lord personally participates. It's the first time for every Planetary Lord, but it shouldn't be too difficult for you. Alright, digest what I've said first."
Ned stretched and, before leaving, said, "Call me if you have any questions. I'll be on this island for a while."
"Thank you," Sebastian said.
Ned smiled slightly and left.
"Hm?" Sebastian watched Ned's footwork curiously. It seemed to contain some kind of characteristic.
"No wonder he moves so fast," Sebastian thought. "If you inherit a movement-type characteristic, you probably won't have to worry about traveling anymore. Not all islands have transportation like Elf birds, especially this one. If I want to explore the entire island, I'll have to do it completely on foot."
After Ned leaves, Sebastian found a more secluded place and sat down, and his consciousness probes into the awakening space. First, he glanced at the planet panel at this time. The above has changed quite a bit.
[ Planet Name: Terra ]
[ Planet Class: Level 2 ]
[ Planet diameter: 7,201 kilometers ]
[ Planet Species: 2,483 ]
[ Planet Talent: Eternal ]
[ Deduction route: None ]
The population of Terra is still in the process of growing. The population base is large, and the uptick is wonderful. Needless to say, about the other two continents, especially the Giant Kong population on the Second land.
After returning from the competition, they are very arrogant. Just like last time, in this competition, Sebastian also gave a reward. The prize is the Water of Life from the Elf Empire. This is the reward given to Sebastian by Svananóg. Because Svananóg and Bru have a good relationship, the reward is the Water of Life, and the amount this time is a lot.
This time, all people and creatures who participated in the Star Competition got a share. With the Water of Life, the Giant Kong species developed even more rapidly. This can replace other beasts around, especially the Skullcrawlers. Although they are huge, they also know that the Giant Kong is not ordinary. They are not something they can easily provoke.
Giant Kongs are also very showy. Climb up a tall tree specially and take out the Water of Life. They let the power of the Water of Life continue to spread into the distance, making most of the monsters of the Land aware of the life energy. They came excitedly, but seeing the Giant Kong, the light in their eyes gradually dissipated. Even the restrained Trisolaran were also dispatched.
Hidden in the woods, secretly looking at the Water of Life in the hands of the Giant Kong, there was a desire in their eyes. Their group is growing, but growth efficiency is not great. If they can get the Water of Life, the rate of development can be at least doubled.
Sebastian has no plans to use the Water of Life for other giant beasts. If you want, you must work. The same is true of Pikachu from the Third Land. With the Water of Life, the group is getting bigger and bigger.
After watching them, Sebastian's eyes moved to the Schrödinger's Cat living in the north. The group of Schrödinger's Cat is very inadequate. After so many years of development, there are only twenty of them. Sebastian doesn't know how to reproduce them either.
Think about it, Sebastian threw a portion of the Water of Life into it and fell in front of Schrödinger's Cat, and one noticed it instantly. The cat sniffed, and its eyes looked at it curiously for a while. The powerful life energy contained in the Water of Life, Schrödinger's Cat can feel it. They get together and swallow this Water of Life.
Sebastian has been observing them, but the result made him a little disappointed. Time flowed a little faster, one year later. No new Cats have appeared either.
"Is it useless to them?" Sebastian couldn't help thinking. This is the first time that the Water of Life failed.
"But..." Sebastian suddenly had a flash of light in his mind and thought: "The ability of Schrödinger's Cat, I wonder if I will be able to use it when I become Level 3 Planetary Lord? Let's wait until it's time for the Planetary Promotion Assessment. It's a pity, it can't be verified now."
Sebastian's eyes swept across the creatures in the Third Land.
"Pikachu lightning, and the Space Kangaroo parenting space. I wonder if I can inherit it?" Sebastian blinked.
"By the way, the Cybertronian..." Sebastian looked at the increasing numbers.
At this time, the Cybertronian have initially developed civilization. There are classes within, and it is also based on strength. One of the main characteristics of Cybertronians is the ability to transform. It can be transformed into various shapes, but now the changes are still very rough. All become Birds, Pikachu, Trees, Stones, Rabbits, etc. It's just the same shape; essentially, it's still a metal lump. Sebastian knew it at a glance. The civilization of these Cybertronians is still at the most basic stage.
"This ability of Transform, I should be able to inherit it." Sebastian thought about it carefully but was not entirely certain.
Because of the races created by the Masters of other Planets, there are more or fewer precedents to learn from. Only these strange creatures were created by Sebastian; there are no examples to refer to. You need to judge for yourself, and it makes Sebastian feel that this is so hard.
Sebastian exhaled, but now it has to be figured out. Otherwise, wait until the Planet Promotion Assessment; it's too late. That was the first time that each Level 2 Planetary Lord used Supernatural Characteristics to fight. There is no training, so it's easy to get distracted.
Fortunately, Sebastian has a deduction system. Just ask the system directly, but this time Sebastian is not going to do this. Judging the Characteristics of each race by yourself will make it easier to get familiar with and control. In this aspect, it's not good to be lazy.
Sebastian decided to go to Ned again to ask clearly. And before that, Sebastian's eyes turned to the First Land. Pikachu, Schrödinger's Cat, Cybertronian, Space Kangaroo, it's easy to say. At first glance, it is a Supernatural Trait. But what about ordinary people? There is no extraordinary feature at all. The development of scientific and technological civilization is Terra's most important combat power at the moment.
"People think that those weapons are awakened." Sebastian thought speechlessly, "If that's the case, it would be great. At least I can inherit this awakening ability. Now..." Sebastian's eyes glanced at the various weapons in the warehouse and sighed. He muttered to himself, "I don't know if these advanced weapons can be used?"
