Ren opened the file.
Inside was detailed information about the Bloodline Plant Lord Evolution Pathway, covering everything from Stage 1 to Stage 5.
The explanations for Stages 1 to 4 were similar to what he had already read in the school mail—but far more detailed and precise.
It explained many things that were not included in basic knowledge.
Ren read carefully.
At Stage 3, both the Bloodline Pathway and the Plant Pathway required cultivators to make an important decision.
They had to choose the direction of their specialization.
For the Bloodline Pathway, cultivators had to decide whether to focus on:
Speed
Strength
Defense
Or attempt a balanced full-body strengthening route (which was much harder and required higher talent)
This choice depended on the type of genetic materials they fused with.
For example, using the bloodline of a wind-type beast would favor speed, while other creatures could enhance strength or defense.
For the Plant Pathway, the choices were different.
Cultivators could specialize in paths such as:
Wood/Nature Route
Elemental Plant Route
Poisonous or Toxic Route
Again, everything depended on the type of plant-based or special materials they used during evolution.
Ren nodded slowly.
"So… Stage 3 is where the real path is decided."
He continued reading.
Then his eyes moved to the section about Stage 5.
A few seconds passed.
Suddenly—
Ren took a sharp breath.
"F***!"
The word slipped out of his mouth before he could stop himself.
"…Okay… okay…"
After a moment, he sat down and began thinking seriously.
"I knew the Bloodline Plant Lord Pathway was stronger than the other two…"
"But I didn't think the gap would be this big…"
From Stage 5 onward, the Bloodline Plant Lord Pathway becomes completely different from the other two pathways.
The gap… becomes enormous.
Unlike the Bloodline Pathway and the Plant Pathway, which continue strengthening the body or energy, the Bloodline Plant Lord Pathway takes a completely different direction.
At this stage—
They create a world.
A real, functioning inner world within themselves.
Because of this, Stage 5 is known as the:
"World Creation Stage."
At this level, the cultivator uses their Bloodline Plant as the core to form the foundation of the inner world.
This core can take many forms—
A tree, a vine, a flower, or any evolved plant form depending on their pathway and choices.
The size of the inner world depends entirely on the cultivator's foundation.
Factors include:
The number of genetic materials fused
The quality of resources used
Their overall talent and pathway development
Because of this, inner worlds can vary greatly when they first enter this stage.
Some are only as large as a small village…
While the largest recorded inner world so far has reached 305 square miles—roughly comparable to a major city.
Ren's eyes widened slightly.
But that wasn't the most shocking part.
At Stage 5, cultivators begin absorbing a higher form of energy—
Planar Energy.
This energy originates from the Boundless Sea of Planes—the place where all worlds are born, exist, and eventually perish.
Every plane naturally absorbs this energy to grow and evolve.
However, that process is extremely slow.
To accelerate this growth, lifeforms within a plane must evolve and increase their Lifeform Tier.
But a Bloodline Plant Lord at Stage 5…
By creating their own inner world, they gain the ability to directly absorb Planar Energy themselves.
This allows their inner world to grow, evolve, and strengthen independently.
And this inner world is not just empty space.
It is a complete, functioning world.
It contains:
Energy for Pathway systems
Air
Natural elements
And everything required to support life.
