Magic High School.

The stone statue slowly spoke, saying, "I want freedom."

“That’s impossible! Let’s change the terms,” Abaddon said decisively.

For a moment, the air fell silent. Then, finally, the stone statue slowly spoke, saying, "Then, let me live like an ordinary person."

Chapter 230 Buribu, Yuliang Yuliang (two chapters in one chapter)

The negotiation with this ghost goddess went surprisingly smoothly.

Whether she was truly brainless or had gone mad within the seal, after several suppressions, she seemed to be breathing heavily, wanting to completely break through the seal left by the principal and attack Abaddon.

It was obvious that they didn't make a ripple at all, completely dominated by the principal's ring.

If the Church of Order hadn't intervened, the Golden Emperor with the four rings might have truly suppressed those four evil gods to an unprecedented degree, and none of this mess would have happened.

Of course, in that case, they might never see Yilian again. After all, without this goddess, the mutant elves would probably not be able to form their own race, nor would they be able to reproduce.

So in the end, after experiencing several breaths of air, being suppressed, breathing air again, and being suppressed again, they reached a consensus with the goddess.

The contract of the Morphling race was altered, allowing them to reproduce without the need for a dueling ritual, while their emotions were not stripped away, gradually turning them into prisoners who were left with only love.

However, this will still turn the morph sprites into carbon-based life forms, thus losing their ability to control water and swim in the ocean.

This is unchangeable, since the nature of morph elves does not allow them to reproduce. They must undergo a metamorphosis to become carbon-based life forms, i.e., humans, in order to reproduce.

After becoming human, the abilities inherent to the mutant elves will naturally gradually degenerate and even disappear. This is an unsolvable, fundamental problem. This goddess can only change the cost of reproduction, but cannot change this underlying logic.

Finally, they reached a "friendly" agreement. She had the right to temporarily possess a local NPC to observe the entire area. Under this imprisoned freedom, she could not completely control the NPC, nor could she do what she wanted. She could only observe from the perspective of an outsider.

To put it simply, she's like a TV viewer; she can change channels, but she can't control the characters in the drama, she can only watch their lives and stories.

In addition, she was forced to sign dozens of unequal treaties, which essentially confined her to this area and had no effect on Li Ge and the others.

Before this, Li Ge had muttered, "People actually sign such outrageous and unequal treaties? You're even more outrageous than Buddha."

But she actually signed it!

For the freedom to watch TV at will, someone actually signed such an unequal treaty. She must have been starving and driven crazy.

“You should be grateful. If you weren’t bound to the reproductive rights of a race, you would have died long ago. In ancient times, our headmaster could easily seal you away, and now we can easily kill you,” Abaddon said.

Although it's not actually that easy—this thing is really hard to kill—it might take the vice principal and the group discussing a foolproof method to deal with her. But that doesn't stop Abaddon from saying some harsh words to scare her for now.

And so, it's all over.

The goddess was completely sealed within this city. She possessed the ability to observe the stories of any NPC at will, much like a television viewer who could change channels at will. However, she could not influence anyone; she could only observe their stories, just as a television viewer could not manipulate the plot and story of a TV series.

The ring remained here forever. In return, the mutated elves had to be relocated to the planet where the school was located. Otherwise, without the goddess's contract link, they would be permanently infertile, and those affected by the contract would die within a very short time.

Despite Yilian's persuasion, the mutated elves still chose to leave their homeland and travel to a strange planet.

Despite Yilian's repeated assurances, the sadness of leaving their homeland still affected all the morph elves.

This ring also became their spoils of war, serving as another anchor point in this domain. Even when enemies were forcibly dragged into the domain and their domain could not withstand it, this ring and the goddess's power could be used as a one-time trump card to detonate against the opponent.

In other words, when faced with an enemy they simply cannot defeat, they can still chant phrases like "Buribe, Yura Yura, love and beauty, otherworldly god" to summon this goddess and defeat the opponent.

Of course, they themselves will probably get slapped by the goddess.

In short, although the cost was high, the gains were also considerable. The biggest gain was that Xiaoye completely mastered the domain expansion, and it was no longer the half-finished domain she had before.

Although her approach to the field was more of a shortcut, essentially meaning that Li Ge had already completed the modeling of this field, and she simply copied Li Ge's modeling and created a similar client.

However, this method of expanding the domain also gave Abaddon a glimmer of hope. He felt that he had taken another step forward in his long-standing research on simplifying the learning difficulty of domains.

Is there really a way to quickly acquire a domain by modeling another person's domain?

You guys always manage to come up with something new!

He immediately wrote down the method and couldn't wait to go back and study it. He also had to write a report on what happened here, since this matter was not insignificant, as it involved a small team that had been recorded by the school for thousands of years without any news.

Their names and attendance reminders are still in the school's system, waiting for them to return and sign in.

And another way is to break free from the lifespan limit imposed by the God of Order, thereby extending one's lifespan. Both the Golden Emperor and this goddess are ancient relics from the past, and even that senior Karl has lived for thousands of years, all of which far exceed the lifespan limit set by the God of Order.

Are these methods feasible for them?

……

Abaddon left, but they could stay and play for a few more days. After all, the morph elves' relocation wasn't something that could be done overnight. Although the tsunami destroyed the small village, they could still take a lot of things with them.

For example, the seawater of their hometown, and the seafood they cultivate in their hometown... these are all part of the cultural heritage and skills passed down through generations.

They all wanted to take these things with them and then replicate the exact same village in another world.

They chose to stay for a few days, as they finally had some time to explore and wanted to experience the local customs, culture, and natural scenery.

It's worth mentioning that they actually encountered another elemental spirit tribe among them, called the Sea Elementals. They were there to help their distant cousins, the Mutant Elves. They had received an invitation from the Mutant Elves beforehand and came to see how things were going and to lend a hand.

After all, they were one family ten thousand years ago, but later the morph elves separated from the other water and sea elementals.

The sea elemental was very talkative, and kept talking about why the other cousins ​​didn't like the Morphlings. After all, they might have to undergo a duel ritual after they went there, so which cousin would dare to come?

However, after hearing that the morph elves were preparing to relocate their entire race, the sea elemental scratched its head and finally said, "Then can you give us that sea area? We'll pay for it, and exchange the Heart of the Ocean for this habitat."

Another businessperson has come to discuss a deal?

So soon, this distant relative was brought to Yilian, who was busy relocating, to discuss the price for buying this sea area.

In the end, it seems that both sides were quite satisfied. The sea elementals gained this sea area, which will give them more habitats, while the mutated elves received the Heart of the Ocean, which will provide them with more protection even when they go to another world.

At this moment, Li Ge nudged Yi Lian with his elbow and asked, "How do the sea elementals reproduce?"

At this moment, Yi Lian paused for a moment before slowly beginning to speak.

The Sea Elementals are similar to self-splitting, like cells, splitting themselves into another individual and then filling it with the souls of their deceased kin, thus completing their reproduction.

Of course, after the souls of those people are reincarnated, their previous memories will be completely erased, and they will become completely new individuals who will not remember anything from the past.

"So, does that mean the sea elementals will never be able to truly increase their population?" Li Ge asked.

“Although the probability of naturally born sea elemental spirits is extremely low, one or two will emerge every few thousand years,” Yi Lian explained.

Li Ge: "..."

He was beginning to understand why the ancestors of the Morphlings had chosen to make a pact with the goddess, even at a cost. The sea elementals' method of reproduction was more abstract, and more... risky...

If the naturally born sea elemental spirits cannot keep up with the loss of their souls, then their population will gradually decrease until they are irreversibly wiped out. Perhaps it was after the ancestors of the mutant spirits foresaw such a future that they chose to embark on a completely different path.

Maybe.

Seeing Yi Lian busy and overwhelmed, having to appease the little water spheres while also arguing with the sea element elders who had rushed over to buy the land, she was utterly exasperated.

Especially now that Yilian is only a little over half a meter tall like a kindergarten child, this scene is incredibly amusing.

As for Li Ge and the others, they planned to completely relax and have some fun in this world.

They built a small wooden boat, where Xiaoye and Valerie fished, looking quite content, while Lige was completely engrossed in the water, acting as a happy little sea tiger.

The power of the tiger shark granted him the ability to breathe underwater. Now, he is a legendary tiger shark in human form in the water, and anyone who dares to breathe on him will be hit with a tiger shark explosive punch.

The only downside is that there's no swimsuit segment here, otherwise we could have released a different color card.

After enjoying a few leisurely days of vacation, Ripple and the Morphling were ready.

This habitat was sold to the Sea Element, and Yilian received a Heart of the Ocean.

When Li Ge asked what this thing was used for, Yi Lian said, "You know our 'Ji Chu Shi Biao' (a famous ancient Chinese text), right? With this thing, all of us, including other variant spirits, can borrow its power and exchange it for a tiny bit of water control ability."

"This thing is useless to sea elementals. Their water control ability is negligible compared to their natural status as the darlings of the sea. But for morph elves, at least the adult individuals won't drown because they've lost their water control ability," Yilian said.

"Wow, that's amazing! Let me try it!" Valerie was the first to jump over and try it out. The method was very simple: just touch it and you would receive an ocean blessing.

Then, she tried to control water, under the infusion of immense psionic energy...

She was finally able to spray a jet of water like a toy water gun...

"I told you long ago that this thing isn't very effective at controlling water; at most, it just gives you some more adaptability to the sea," Yi Lian said, tossing the thing to Li Ge.

Unfortunately, only Li Ge in the team currently possesses a storage ring.

Li Ge touched the thing, and then a buff appeared in the system.

[Blessed by the Heart of the Ocean: You will receive a slight increase in adaptability to naval combat environments and a slight increase in water control ability for three days.]

It's alright, something is better than nothing. The main thing is that this thing is convenient. Touching it gives you a three-day blessing. I can touch it before going on a mission so that I won't be dumbfounded when I arrive in a world filled with oceans.

Li Ge immediately thought of something deeper. This thing was completely useless to the sea elementals. The sea elementals were like human-shaped natural disasters in naval battles. Moreover, compared to Yi Lian, the mutated elf, the sea elementals were more skilled in naval battles. In fact, Yi Lian himself didn't need this thing, since he was still in his infancy and might stay in his infancy for the rest of his life.

However, this thing was really important to Li Ge and his two companions, greatly increasing their ability to adapt to naval warfare environments.

You could say that his good brother got this thing specifically for the three of them.

However, this thing is ostensibly a common property of the mutant elves, since it was obtained in exchange for their territory.

After all preparations were complete, the group left this world and moved to the magic high school.

The other side of the portal was no longer within the academy, but on a beach, which didn't seem to be very close to Academy City.

Li Ge went up a nearby mountain and looked out into the distance, where he could see the conspicuous World Tree.

"Using triangulation, it's about 400 kilometers from here to the school. Not too far, not too close." Li Ge gave a thumbs up, pointed to the direction of the World Tree, and roughly calculated the location.

"That just means the weather is really good today; you can see things hundreds of kilometers away clearly," Xiaoye complained.

"It's also because the World Tree is nearly 20,000 meters tall, it's too conspicuous." Li Ge smiled, while also looking at the new home of the mutated elves.

Nestled between mountains and water, with a small hill behind it, followed by a small plain and then the sea, this place is truly wonderful.

Li Ge thought they could even open a resort or guesthouse here, which would not only make them self-sufficient but also earn them a lot of points.

After all, students at school are very free during holidays, and they even need to find ways to have fun.

The school's construction department had been waiting for a long time, and the moment they saw the person arrive, they immediately went up to discuss their needs.

"It seems Yilian will be quite busy these days," Li Ge remarked.

"Too."

The group then prepared to return to school. Except for Yilian, who was busy moving the mutant elves, everyone else returned to their dormitories.

Although they played for two more days after dealing with the goddess, and also recovered their physical and mental strength, the game was really tiring for them, to the point of being paralyzed.

Apart from Yilian, who was still busy moving the mutated sprites, everyone else went back to their dorms to get some rest.

I just want to get some sleep right now, and then I'll think about other things after I wake up.
