I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"You can only see it by going to a specific location and turning on the switch."

Upon hearing this, Jin Luosha began to explain.

"A tree that's over 20,000 years old, isn't that huge? Could it fit under the pavilion?"

Lacey then asked as well.

"The golden tree grows to five meters in a thousand years, but it is currently only about 115 meters tall."

"So it won't be very high."

Upon hearing this, Jin Luosha spoke up.

A tree that is over 100 meters tall is very tall to the average person, but that is only from the perspective of the average person.

For a slightly stronger person, a tree over a hundred meters tall can be easily climbed or even felled.

"It only grows five meters in a thousand years?"

"This thing really needs to be protected."

Lacey was also somewhat amazed when she heard about this growth cycle.

A group of people followed the Black Rakshasa as they walked along the spacious and artistically designed suspended corridors connecting the pavilions.

"Are these all made of golden maple wood?"

Lacey saw the beautiful textures on both sides of the suspended walkways between these buildings.

"Yes, as long as the golden maple tree is properly maintained regularly and is not affected by any natural or man-made disasters, it is said that it can stand forever."

Bai Linglong smiled and introduced it upon hearing this.

"The idea that it will never fall is just a rumor."

"Based on the situation in the place of origin, in reality, if it is not affected by natural disasters or man-made calamities, it can only last for ten thousand years at most."

"It will slowly decay and collapse after more than 10,000 years."

Upon hearing Bai Linglong's words, Jin Luosha carefully corrected her statement.

"It's already pretty impressive that it's stood for ten thousand years."

"We could have lost count of how many generations have passed."

"This construction is almost a one-time fix."

When Kyle heard that it could last for ten thousand years, he knew that this thing had to be brought back to the Void Isles.

"A solution that solves everything once and for all is a possibility, not a guarantee that it can be achieved."

"Golden maple can withstand the passage of time, but it cannot withstand the changes in people's hearts."

"With the advancement of technology and the changes in culture, aesthetic standards and the demands for life will gradually rise, rather than remain stagnant forever."

"No one can escape the common customs, even our Jin family is no exception."

"The so-called man-made disasters, besides potentially causing violent fires and destruction, are mainly caused by the self-repairing that occurs every so often."

"Aside from the Golden Township, the place where the Jin family originated, this is the only place where the well-preserved golden maple wood buildings are still intact."

"In fact, in our new place of relocation, we only retained some pavilions made of golden maple wood as our daily living quarters."

"Where it is used for other purposes, it is built with other materials and is a mixed type, so it is not so pure."

When Jin Luosha heard others praising the golden maple wood produced by the Jin family's main lineage, he naturally felt proud, but he also understood the reality.

Chapter 668 A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

A group of people walked along the suspended corridor, shuttling between different pavilions.

Lacey, Kyle, and the others saw some very distinctive pavilions.

And the Jin family really did live in a bird's nest, but the bird's nest was also made of the branches and leaves of a golden maple tree.

It looked like a golden nest, not only large, but also emitting a unique fragrance.

Moreover, pressing this indentation will cause it to sink in and the surrounding area will begin to emit a faint fluorescence. There is only a small hole at the top, so it is not afraid of the cold wind penetrating.

The golden maple leaf used to build this bird's nest can be moved at any time, so it can be opened from all sides.

“From the moment we are born, we will sleep in places like this, preparing in advance for biological modification.”

"It can help us get used to the sensory changes brought about by biomodification."

Jin Luosha demonstrated and explained at the same time.

Even though his body has grown considerably, the nest can still easily accommodate his size, with plenty of room inside.

Furthermore, this pavilion is extremely tall, nearly a hundred meters high.

"Doesn't anyone in your Jin family have a fear of heights?"

Kyle stood near the bird's nest, looking at the sky ahead with some curiosity.

"I've had this before, but even if I have, I have to overcome it."

"As bioengineering technology becomes more and more mature, it will continue to mature."

"Children born from the combination of their parents' genes are not only physically stronger, but also have a greater yearning for the sky."

Upon hearing this, Jin Luosha smiled and said.

Their race has a history of over 20,000 years, and naturally, all the weaknesses that were detrimental to the race have long since evolved away.

"Has no one considered not using biological modification?"

"Or perhaps other types of biological modification?"

"With so many bloodlines in one lineage, and people having different ideas, it's impossible for everyone to willingly be transformed into a bird of prey, right?"

Lacey was somewhat surprised to hear about this unique culture and custom, and after thinking for a moment, she asked.

"As direct descendants of the five major lineages, everyone has a choice."

"However, if they choose to undergo other types of biological modification, they will be directly expelled from the direct line and demoted to a branch family."

"Not only will their status plummet, but nine-tenths of the resources they could have obtained will also disappear."

"Even if their descendants can undergo the same type of biological modification, they will not be able to undergo the highest level of baptism again."

"Moreover, they can no longer return to the direct line, undergo baptism, and then pass through trials step by step to inherit the highest authority of the Bai family."

"Miss Bai Linglong should have experienced this very deeply."

Hei Luo San spoke up upon hearing this.

The Bai family is one of the five major lineages of Saint Nigu Imperial City. Bai Linglong's ability to use such a surname indicates that her ancestors were direct descendants of the Bai family.

Bai Linglong underwent biological modification, transforming herself into an exceptionally beautiful cat.

This means that she is not qualified to undergo advanced modifications, and will not be in the future.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Linglong lowered her head slightly, speechless.

Lacey, Kyle, Renault, and the Precognitive, upon hearing this, were reminded of Bai Linglong's disappointment at not being able to undergo the highest level of biological modification.

"Should descendants also be punished for the things their ancestors did?"

Kyle looked at Black Fall and asked.

"Miss Bai Linglong may not have done anything wrong, but for the major lineages that advocate biological modification and value the bloodline inheritance of the major lineages."

"What our ancestors did can bring blessings to their descendants for thousands of years, but their descendants must also be punished for their sins and taste the consequences of their past actions."

Hei Luo San nodded upon hearing this and spoke.

Although Bai Linglong came from a branch family, she still possessed extraordinary insight.

According to Hei Luosan's estimation, Bai Linglong not only knows all the glorious deeds of the Jin family, but should also be very familiar with the past of other major families in the capital.

This is an expression of longing for and remembrance of the glory of one's ancestors.

Because Bai Linglong is from a branch family, not a direct descendant, she has access to a great deal of information about the five major lineages of Hei Luo.

However, he only knew about the direct line, not the branch families.

Therefore, he could not determine Bai Linglong's ancestor from her name.

However, no matter how much Bai Linglong yearns for it, the choices her ancestors made in the past cannot be changed.

After all, as one of the five major clans in the capital, while enjoying resources that are unimaginable to ordinary people, they must also bear a price.

That means one's life is predetermined by bloodline from birth.

This kind of fate arrangement is not limited to women; men are the same, and they have to be more determined than anyone else to truly stand out from their peers.

"The five major veins of the Holy Nigu Imperial Capital all have a long history of more than 20,000 years."

"Isn't there a precedent for returning to the direct bloodline?"

Lacey also felt the cruelty of this collateral punishment.

"Although I would like to say no, it has indeed happened in history."

"A catastrophe or a horrific war has occurred that has swept across all the major tributaries."

"This resulted in the deaths of a large number of direct descendants who went to the front lines to fight and kill."

"Even the chances of having a direct bloodline are slim, and they are forced to leave the capital because they cannot maintain their status as a major lineage in the capital."

"We will only consider bringing back the branch family if we want to redevelop and return to the capital."

"But let's put aside the other major families for now, there's the precedent of the Bai family being expelled from the capital."

"That was more than 13,000 years ago."

"With the development of civilization, the biological modification of the major veins has become more mature."

"There are basically no more disasters or wars that could cause the major powers to be nearly wiped out and lose their status."

Hei Luo San paused for a moment upon hearing this before speaking.

Both the Black and White families are major branches of the ancient Sannic civilization, which has a history of tens of thousands of years.
