Take, for instance, the region Chen Mo is about to enter—it's the initial zone in the World of Heavenly Element reserved for Beastly Intelligent Life. Consequently, his Divine Power experiences restrictions in that place.
Yet, despite the suppression, Chen Mo's Divine Power at this stage surpasses that of every Beastly Intelligent Life present in the area.
Should he choose to, he could easily slay any Beastly Intelligent Life and draw in their Divine Power.
Right upon his arrival, Chen Mo encountered a landscape utterly unlike the one in the humanoid intelligent life zone he'd left behind.
The territory of the Beastly Intelligent Life featured no structures, instead offering an expansive natural scenery.
As soon as Chen Mo ventured into the domain of the Beastly Intelligent Life, he immersed himself in a world of pure nature.
Without towering edifices or bustling roads, the region boasted endless plains that reached toward far-off mountains, brimming with nature's untamed splendor.
Rolling hills covered in lush greenery cradled ancient woodlands, pulsing with the energy of life.
Towering trees with entangled roots stood tall, while local plants danced in the breeze, dotted with blooms and untamed grasses, forming a breathtaking vista of the wild.
Gone was the clamor of urban life and the endless rush of vehicles; the Beastly Intelligent Life preferred dwelling in harmony with their surroundings, making homes in trees and nests, sourcing sustenance and hydration from the earth itself.
Their existence remained basic and ancient, sustained through foraging and the chase, upholding time-honored traditions.
In this place, each household claimed its own nest, with streams and ponds serving as communal watering spots, allowing them to embrace a serene and unadorned life amid the wilderness.
The societal framework of the Beastly Intelligent Life revolved around tribes, highlighting the deep connections among kin and clans.
Bonds of family and collective unity formed the foundation of their world; confronting the trials of the wild side by side, they forged a tight-knit community.
Though it stood in stark contrast to the advancements of humanoid intelligent life societies, the realm of the Beastly Intelligent Life radiated a distinctive appeal rooted in its bond with the natural world.
Overflowing with raw energy and balance, this domain allowed Chen Mo to sense the deep allure of the wilderness and how seamlessly the Beastly Intelligent Life integrated with it.
Chen Mo concealed himself in the shadows, silently watching the daily activities of the Beastly Intelligent Life.
These beings looked much like fierce beasts, boasting robust builds, dense coats of fur or tough scales, and menacing teeth.
They shunned tools or shelters akin to those of humanoids, depending instead on caverns, meadows, and arboreal havens to fulfill their basic requirements.
This band of Beastly Intelligent Life worked in unison, thriving in the untamed outdoors, collecting provisions, pursuing game, and fulfilling their primal urges in an elemental fashion.
From the depths of the ancient woods stepped a mighty Beastly Intelligent Life, its form robust and vigorous, exuding the pride of its feral heritage.
Upon the wide-open meadow, members of the Beastly Intelligent Life assembled, dividing the spoils of their pursuits, with some readying meals and others recounting their latest hunts.
Their days brimmed with the essence of savagery and the outdoors.
A female parent instructed her young one in the art of snaring quarry, passing down vital techniques of the hunt.
Within this clan, the value of familial ties and mutual support reigned supreme, infusing the air with warmth of relation and teamwork.
The clan's way of being diverged entirely from that of humans, leaning heavily on the bounty of the open air and nature's rules.
They dwelled in an elemental manner, blending effortlessly with their environment, which stirred in Chen Mo an appreciation for the distinct flavors of varied cultures.
Despite their status as foes, storming into their midst for mindless slaughter felt excessively brutal.
While Chen Mo pondered this, the keenly aware Beastly Intelligent Life had already spotted his presence.
In a flash, every member of the tribe turned toward him with wary eyes.
For a brief instant, Chen Mo felt a twinge of conflict.
Under the vigilant stares of these Beastly Intelligent Life, he realized that though his Divine Power outmatched theirs by far, he remained a foreigner and intruder in their midst. Drawing from his Earthly origins, scarred by the Yongming Star System's aggressions, and as a Chinese once under foreign yoke, Chen Mo grasped all too well the pain of invasion—and he had no desire to inflict it anew.
From the ranks of the Beastly Intelligent Life advanced an elder exuding commanding presence, his eyes gleaming with insight and resolve, drawing near to Chen Mo at a measured pace.
No hostility marked his gaze, only empathy and regard.
"Outsider, you must be a humanoid intelligent life, correct? What brings you to this spot? Our domain teems with Beastly Intelligent Life, many bearing ill will toward your kind. Luckily, our group isn't so inclined, yet I urge you to depart swiftly," uttered the aged ape elder, his fur sparse and weathered, fixing Chen Mo with a steady, resonant tone that carried quiet strength.
Chen Mo knew the moment called for peace, so he replied, "I mean no harm to you locals. My path led me here to confront certain adversaries, and I'm ready for any formidable opponents."
Detecting a sliver of the Divine Power Chen Mo had deliberately released, the elder inclined his head. "I sense your formidable Divine Power, yet this remains our land, which we are bound to defend. If your intentions are pure, you may linger for now, but I beseech you to spare our kin any injury."
Chen Mo accepted with pleasure, "I vow not to bring you harm; be at ease, for I'm merely traversing through."
Chen Mo voiced this upon realizing that, in this zone, his teleportation and sensing abilities suffered major curbs, especially teleportation under severe limits, while perception held up better; thus, he had to navigate on foot. Encounters with the local Beastly Intelligent Life seemed inevitable, yet he refused to slay these innocents without cause.
Strangely, the veteran ape appeared to trust Chen Mo without question, guiding him straight into the heart of the tribe, where waves of their goodwill and hospitality washed over him.
He came to see that across diverse realms, harmony and comprehension held immeasurable worth.
Even as rivals, peaceful accord could flourish.
Upon joining the Beastly Intelligent Life tribe, Chen Mo was ushered to a spacious meadow ringed by verdant foliage, where sunbeams pierced the canopy, sprinkling mottled patterns across the earth. At its center stood a grand circular table of wood, laden with an array of provisions all around.
Vibrant wild fruits adorned the platters: crimson berries from the wild, deep violet cherries, and sunny-hued pomelos.
These morsels gleamed with clarity, as if kissed by dawn's moisture. Their scent wafted everywhere, stirring hunger.
Nearby, a spread of nuts lay upon broad leaves, featuring almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts, each picked with care, shells intact and inviting, releasing a rich, earthy perfume.
Most captivating were the exotic fowl and creatures positioned by the flames.
These avian and minor beasts offered succulent meat; once grilled, their exteriors crisped while insides stayed juicy.
The savory smells permeated the breeze, the hint of char proving irresistible.
Among them, one bird sported brilliant crimson and aureate plumage, plump and inviting, its meat carrying a subtle infusion of smoke.
Surveying the tribe's spread prepared in his honor, Chen Mo noted that the preferences of Beastly Intelligent Life mirrored those of humanoid intelligent life closely.
Seated at the timber table, Chen Mo surrendered to the allure of these treats. Sampling them, he savored the fruits' sweetness and succulence, the nuts' satisfying crunch and flavor, and the roasted meats' exquisite taste, wrapped in a veil of smokiness. Each mouthful brought pure joy, merging seamlessly with the essence of the wild.
Beyond sating his hunger, this gathering served as a bridge for cultural sharing and forging bonds.
During this reception meal, Chen Mo absorbed the zeal and openness of the Beastly Intelligent Life, with these dishes symbolizing their budding alliance, closing divides between them.
This encounter deepened Chen Mo's resolve against wanton aggression toward the Beastly Intelligent Life.
They merely existed peacefully in their native soil, offering him no peril, rendering slaughter truly unnecessary.
But even as these thoughts crossed Chen Mo's mind, he abruptly detected a remarkable Beastly Intelligent Life drawing close to the tribe's vicinity.
This unique Beastly Intelligent Life bore a sequence of digits above its head, marking it as a chosen one!
