Chapter 233 The huge danger behind the benefits gained by the Void Donkey Clan
"Third Master, has your fertility been affected?!"
Reproductive ability is the most precious ability for a race like theirs, which has extremely small numbers and maintains a high ranking on the list of all races because of its extremely high quality.
No matter what the circumstances, we have to give in to their fertility!
There are many races in history that are small in number, extremely weak in fertility, but very powerful. Without any external influence, they gradually died out because they could not produce offspring.
So with this guess, Xia Xian was also extremely shocked and a little bit unbelievable.
No matter how precious the treasures obtained in exchange for the space bag are, how can they compare with the continuation of their race?
However, after hearing Xia Xian's guess, the Third Master couldn't help revealing a trace of sadness and nodded slowly.
“Yes, it’s fertility!
The treasure we were seeking was originally for cultivation and even more for having children. However, after we exchanged the treasure with the space bag, we found that removing the baby bag had a significant impact on our fertility.
In the early stage, thanks to the help of the treasure, we were able to add a lot of newcomers, and then we kept exchanging for more treasures. However, we did not expect that as we took off the pouch more and more times, our fertility would become lower and lower.
This is almost irreversible damage. Even if we do not remove the pouch in the future, our fertility will slowly decrease.
Until now, more than half of our clan members have completely lost their fertility, and for those who remain, even if they use that treasure desperately, it still takes too long to conceive a child.
And all of us have coveted those treasures and removed the pouches, even if only a few times, but we are still slowly losing our fertility."
Since Xia Xian had guessed the general idea based on just a few words, he naturally no longer hid it and told it all.
However, Xia Xian listened, and the shock in his heart gradually subsided. He thought seriously, and when the Third Master stopped talking, he immediately asked: "Then does it mean that the children you gave birth to later will also be infertile?"
The fertility of the parents disappeared, but their offspring did not remove the pouch. Could it be that their fertility was also affected and they were unable to give birth to offspring?
In response, the Third Master calmed down his emotions and replied in a calmer tone, "It's not that they have completely lost their fertility, but their fertility has dropped too much!
Even if they used those treasures without limit, their speed in conceiving a child was extremely slow, and there were even cases of conceiving failure!
You have to know that our clan can give birth to offspring ourselves. As long as there are enough resources, we can continue to give birth to offspring. There should be no possibility of failure!
It just so happens that after our fertility is impaired, the children we conceive will already have fertility defects.”
Speaking of this, the Third Master couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "This may also be the natural limitation of our species that reproduces offspring by itself.
The offspring we give birth to will almost completely replicate our physical conditions. Even if there are some changes, they are extremely small and the probability of occurrence is low.
This was originally an ability to ensure that the talents of our offspring would always be strong, but in the end, it was also the key to ruining the future of our race!"
Indeed, for a race like theirs that reproduces their own offspring, the rate of genetic mutation in their offspring is low and their talents are often more stable.
But unfortunately, all the defects of their parents will be inherited.
Reproductive inheritance in this world is never just a matter of genes; the genetic influence of spiritual power is equally crucial.
Their mothers are damaged and their spiritual power has changed. When they are pregnant with offspring, the spiritual power will cause their embryos to change towards the mother's state.
As a result, there are different differences between the offspring of different mothers, so that the descendants of the same ancestor are not completely cast in the same mold.
Therefore, we can only say that everything has its pros and cons, and the key is how to show its advantages while avoiding its disadvantages.
As Xia Xian listened, he couldn't help but feel sad for their race.
After all, we were blinded by superficial interests.
The benefits of removing the pouch should be determined over several generations to determine whether it will have an impact on fertility.
As a result, their haste to gain benefits brought them into danger of almost genocide.
Now Xia Xian knew what they wanted to do with him. After thinking about it, he said without much certainty:
"Third Master, I roughly understand what you mean. It is indeed urgent to solve your fertility problem.
But I am not very confident that I can restore your fertility. It may be too difficult to do it with just elixirs. Even if I have the ability to research elixirs to restore your fertility in the future, I am afraid your race may not be able to wait that long."
As soon as these words came out, the Third Master, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and excitement.
"It can restore your fertility. Fine, fine, fine. It's fine as long as it can be restored. If you have any needs, just let us know! Even if you want a natural star, we will pick it for you!"
When Xia Xian saw it, he immediately opened his mouth, knowing in his heart that he had been careless.
Judging from the look on Third Master's face, it's obvious that his previous psychological expectation was not to restore their fertility.
According to what he said before, they probably just need some elixir to speed up their birth of offspring, or to increase the success rate of birth of offspring.
This magical medicine can indeed solve their urgent problem and give them more time to find more solutions.
The spiritual patterns in the world are complete and full of mysteries, so it is natural that spiritual patterns that can restore their fertility may exist.
Just trying to find these methods is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm afraid they won't be able to find them even if their clan is extinct for a long time.
After all, other races in history that were about to perish like them must have also tried to find such a method, but the result was the same without exception: no results.
From what the Third Master said, we can see how determined they are.
Xia Xian naturally knew that this world was not a universe-like world with countless planets, and they were just on one of the life planets.
On the contrary, they only have this one world of life!
Outside this world, there is only an endless sea of nothingness. Even if other worlds must exist, over the past so many eras, no era has recorded such a major event as encountering an alien world.
There are actually three main types of stars in the night sky.
The first is some small worlds and subspaces attached to the world membrane, that is, the space barrier.
Although it is not the Hanging Sky Era now, the Taoist masters of various races have opened up small worlds high in the sky and live their own lives behind closed doors.
But it is not a problem to create a small world, put some things in it, and do something.
In addition, some subspaces will occasionally appear unexpectedly in the world itself, and these look like stars to people on earth.
And the second type is the Taoist Master!
The Taoist master uses his own body to refine the power of nothingness and feed back to the world, helping the world to grow. When he absorbs energy into the world, he is like a shining star on the sky.
These two categories are considered things within the world, while the third category is certain things outside the world, floating in the sea of nothingness.
Being able to float in the Sea of Nothingness, its power must be extraordinary. It could be a treasure, or it could be a poison that can hurt the Taoist master, etc.
It is precisely because of the existence of these things that Xia Xian concluded that there must be another world, but he has never encountered it.
Perhaps, on a world scale, the birth of the World of Ten Thousand Races is not long ago.
But the fact that the Third Master can make such a promise shows their determination.
However, when the Third Master saw Xia Xian's expression, he slowly calmed down.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still too hasty. Even though Xia kid has an extraordinary talent in spiritual medicine, he is still too young now.
He probably doesn't know how difficult it is to restore fertility, so he shouldn't hold out too much hope, lest he be disappointed again."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more relaxed. He stretched out his donkey hoof, gently patted Xia Xian's shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, there is no rush for this. Restoring fertility is indeed extremely difficult. Even if you are extremely talented, it cannot be solved in a short period of time.
I'm afraid there is some hope at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and only then will it be possible for a Taoist master. You can just study the related ones first.
Before that, we can research some elixirs that can speed up the birth of offspring and protect the fetus, which will be enough for now."
It seems that this was what the Third Master originally expected. He was still careless. If someone asks for something, he should let the other party speak first.
Xia Xian nodded and secretly learned a lesson for himself.
Considering the request from Third Master, he thought for a moment and organized his words, "Well, that's true. Solving the most urgent problem first is the most important thing. Then I'll have to trouble Third Master to cooperate with me on some research.
And these studies will probably have to explore all the secrets of your body."
"Of course. Our clan is already at the brink of life and death. No secret can compare to the disaster of genocide. If you need any research, just tell us. We will definitely cooperate with you!"
These words are obviously from the heart. At this time, protecting the lives of the clan is the top priority, and everything else is just empty talk.
In this case, Xia Xian had nothing to worry about, and immediately said: "Well, Third Master, first of all, I still need to collect some information recorded by your clan, just about your own personal information, and other information is not necessary.
But it's not just your own Void Donkey clan, the relevant records of those bloodlines are also very important, which can allow me to see more things from other angles.
Besides that, once I have a general understanding of your tribe's situation through your records, I'm afraid I'll need the cooperation of a Void Donkey to conduct some research."
