The Kinsmen limit was 3.
This meant that the current Bai Luo could only have a maximum of 3 monster races as his Kinsmen.
As for where Kinsmen came from...
First, Kinsmen must be related to dependents.
In other words, only monsters of the same race as dependents could be transformed into Kinsmen by Bai Luo.
"So…"
Bai Luo pondered his dependents: "Only the Oni race meets this requirement?"
Shaking his head, Bai Luo temporarily put aside that question and focused his attention on the Ya Lang Clan before him.
"Subjugation, or death?"
Bai Luo looked at the Ya Lang Leader, who had been obediently prostrating on the ground since earlier.
"Woof!"
Feeling Bai Luo's gaze, the Ya Lang Leader instantly cowered, even speaking with a trembling voice, "I, I am willing to submit to you, great Demon Lord Seed!"
The oppressive aura from that instant was undoubtedly a pressure far exceeding that of a Demon Person.
And a being more terrifying than a superior Demon Person, the only thing the Ya Lang Leader could think of was a Demon Lord Seed!
As mentioned before, the Cardinal World did not have a clear distinction between a Demon Lord Seed and a True Demon Lord.
In the eyes of most, Demon Lord Seed was merely a title, not a power level.
This issue even existed within the Ten Great Demon Lord Seeds themselves.
The bottom three, Clayman, Carrion, and Queen Frey, also did not know the gap between themselves and the other Demon Lord Seeds.
Demon Lord Seed and True Demon Lord.
True Demon Lord, and True Demon Lord who has obtained Ultimate Skill.
The power gap between these three was so vast that calling it an overwhelming difference would not be an exaggeration.
So, even though Bai Luo was called a Demon Lord Seed by the Ya Lang Leader, he was actually in the weakest tier.
"Let's forget about the title of Demon Lord Seed for now; I don't have any intention of becoming a Demon Lord Seed just yet."
Claiming to be a Demon Lord Seed could very likely trigger a Demon Lord Seed's Banquet.
Other Demon Lord Seeds might not care, but Clayman, that troublemaker, would definitely jump out and cause trouble.
Although Bai Luo was not afraid, he also did not want such trouble.
Anyway, with Bai Luo's speed of growth, he would eventually be able to crush him, so there was no need to rush.
"Yes."
The Ya Lang Leader did not know Bai Luo's thoughts.
The Demon Lord Seed's thoughts were not something it could guess; for now, it only needed to maintain as low a posture as possible.
"Bring all your kin over."
"Yes!"
The Ya Lang Leader dared not disobey and immediately let out a long howl, summoning its kin.
Soon, nearly 500 Ya Wolves had gathered before Bai Luo.
Ya Wolves were massive, almost a meter tall just standing, truly large wolves.
"Submit to me, and you shall be my subjects."
In the original work, Rimuru killed the Ya Lang Leader, and its son Lan Ya was still willing to follow Rimuru, which gave rise to the meme of 'just a father-killing grudge.'
In contrast, Bai Luo had no conflict with the Ya Lang Clan.
"Select the eighteen most outstanding Ya Wolves from your clan; I shall bestow names upon you."
"!!!"
Bai Luo's words utterly shocked the Ya Lang Leader.
It looked at Bai Luo in disbelief, somewhat doubting if it had misheard: "You, you mean, you want to name us?"
"What?"
Bai Luo joked, "You don't want it?"
"No!"
"You, thank you for your grace."
The Ya Lang Leader trembled with excitement: "We, the Ya Lang Clan, shall pledge our lives to follow you, generation after generation, upholding your authority!"
As the Ya Lang Leader's voice fell, all the Ya Wolves behind it knelt one after another.
They offered their loyalty to their great and generous master.
"Also, Goblins."
Bai Luo did not forget the weak Goblins: "Select 100 people; I will bestow names upon you."
"Rea, really?"
Hearing that Bai Luo was even willing to bestow names upon weak Goblins like them, the Goblins were incredibly moved, and many female Goblins even shed tears.
"Oh, what a benevolent master."
"Even though we are so weak, you are willing to protect us."
Originally, the old Goblin village chief felt that being able to take refuge under Bai Luo's command and receive his protection was already a great blessing.
But who would have thought that their Goblin race would have such luck to encounter such a master?
"Come up and line up 0…."
Bai Luo waved his hand, signaling the old village chief to bring 100 Goblins forward.
"You stay too."
The old village chief was about to leave but was stopped by Bai Luo: "At your age, if you don't get a name, you probably won't live much longer."
"From now on, you shall be called Ligulude, and serve me as the Leader of the Goblin race."
These words once again moved the old village chief to tears.
Bai Luo even felt that even if he gave the command to 'commit suicide,' Ligulude would not hesitate to take his own life on the spot.
As for Ligulude's name issue.
At this time, the Demon Person Grummid had not yet arrived at the Goblin village, nor had he named Ligulude's eldest son.
"As for you, the elder brother is Lilude, and the younger brother is Ligude."
"And you all…"
For the Goblins' naming, aside from the first father and two sons, Bai Luo was quite casual: "Gobutha, Gobuna, Gobuya…"
The naming process was quick; Bai Luo glanced at the consumed magic essence, which had decreased by about 60,000.
Bai Luo's magic essence was 200,000+, and after deducting 60,000, it had fallen below 200,000.
However, the status of a Demon Lord Seed would not disappear.
In fact, even if Bai Luo exhausted all his magic essence, he would still be a Demon Lord Seed.
Demon Lord Seed was the Cardinal World's recognition of a monster, meaning you had the qualification to challenge the True Demon Lord realm.
"100,000 was consumed, and 40,000 was fed back from the Goblins, so only 60,000 magic essence was reduced."
Logically, to raise an E-rank Goblin to the level of a C-rank Hobgoblin, at least 2,000 magic essence would be consumed.
For 100 Goblins, that would be 200,000.
However, Bai Luo had connections; Violet helped him get a backdoor deal, directly halving the cost to 100,000 magic essence.
'As expected of you, Violet…'
Bai Luo secretly gave Violet a thumbs up; his capable wife had just arrived and already learned to save him money.
magic essence: 205,000 → 145,000
After finishing the Goblin naming, the Ya Wolves also selected their kin eligible for names…
