Chapter 316: Chapter 316 – Kobold
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“I need to choose the number of Points I want to invest, eh…” Chen Heng thought to himself before making a decision.
Right now, he had a decently number of Points.
However, he did not know how this function worked, and if he invested a great amount of Points and it ended up being a waste, it would be quite a pity.
As such, he decided to test out this function first and use the smallest number of Points possible.
Following this, his Points decreased by 100.
It seemed that undertaking a simulation in the World of Gods required at least 100 Points.
However, this was not a big deal to Chen Heng.
Soon, a strange feeling appeared..
Chen Heng could feel his soul seeming to be split in two.
A very small seed was split off from his powerful soul and was turned into an independent entity through the simulator’s power.
“So it’s like that…” Sensing the situation in his body, Chen Heng came to an understanding.
“So a part of my soul is split off to form a clone-like existence.”
Chen Heng immediately understood what was going on.
Simply put, if he did a simulation in the World of Gods, he would form a clone, as opposed to sending Chen Heng’s entire soul.
In a sense, that clone would also be Chen Heng—after all, their essence was the same.
This was somewhat like what Chen Heng had done in the Sorcerer World.
During a simulation, Chen Heng had left the simulation world and had preserved his simulation body, making it an independent existence.
It seemed that this was also the case.
Following this, a new feeling appeared.
“Please choose the amount of strength you would like to invest…”
More words appeared before him.
It seemed that the clone could also take some of his main body’s strength.
However, just like in his previous simulation, if this clone fell, its energy would return to his main body.
This allowed Chen Heng not to worry so much about it.
As such, he made a decision, and a faint light once again flashed.
The simulator’s power once again spread out, covering the surroundings.
Under the simulator’s power, Chen Heng’s clone gradually disappeared and left this region.
A vortex appeared in the void, absorbing this soul and sending it to a place far away.
After doing this, Chen Heng came back to his senses and shook his head.
A strange and unique feeling spread out, and Chen Heng felt quite weak.
His soul was the origin of everything, and even though he had not split off a large portion of it, it had greatly impacted him, making him feel quite weak.
This weakness would most likely persist for a while before he could fully recover.
It seemed that before then, he would not be able to do much.
However, that did not matter.
Sensing his condition, Chen Heng thought for a moment before deciding to have a good rest.
Following this, he walked out.
Elsewhere.
Time gradually passed.
After his soul was drawn into the void, he was surrounded by a murky darkness.
Chen Heng remained in that space for a long time before he regained his senses.
However, even though he had regained his senses, he still felt quite strange.
He could feel that he was in a very small space, with his surroundings sealed. There was a warm feeling around him, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
He also felt an unprecedented sense of weakness.
The current him was not an actual body but just a trace of his soul.
Not only was his soul very weak, but he had also not brought all of his body’s strength. This was the weakest he had ever been.
Moreover, there seemed to be something strange about his body.
Outside, there were low, strange sounds.
In his sealed space, Chen Heng could sense the temperature becoming hotter and hotter.
An instinct arose within him, making him want to escape this space.
As such, he went with his instincts and began to struggle out.
A clear sound rang out as he was once again greeted by light.
When he saw the scene around him, Chen Heng was stunned.
In front of him was a large den, which was filled with black eggs.
There were many of them, at least over 100.
Not too far away from Chen Heng, there were fragments of an egg shell.
“No way…”
Sensing this, Chen Heng was stunned and thought of something.
As such, he began to sense his body.
Even though he had only brought a portion of his soul, his mental energy was still quite powerful.
As soon as he sent out his senses, he noticed that something was off.
This was not a human body.
Moreover, his body was very, very small and had a different composition to a human body.
Even though he did not know what was going on, he knew that this was not a human body.
An Outlander?
At that moment, Chen Heng came to a realization and frowned.
Before he could come to his senses, some footsteps sounded out from the side.
It was a strange sound with some light footsteps.
Hearing this, Chen Heng looked over.
As he looked over, two figures appeared.
They were not very tall, and did not look humanoid either.
They walked like humans, but they were covered with fur. They were about one meter tall, but their bodies looked quite strong.
Their heads and eyes looked somewhat savage, and looking at these two figures, a name appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.
Kobolds!
In this world, there were Kobolds.
They were quite a common race and could be found in many regions.
They had great vitality, and even though they were not individually very strong, there were many of them.
As the lowest level of creature, Kobolds had great vitality as well as reproductive abilities, and they had an enormous population.
The reason why Chen Heng knew about Kobolds was because he had read some records about them before.
In the border between the Kalo Kingdom and the Wastelands, there were some Kobolds. When Chen Heng had gone there, he had also seen some.
Back then, his impression of them was that they were quite weak and had some intelligence.
He had never thought that he would encounter them like this.
“Wait!”
Looking at these two Kobolds and sensing his own condition, Chen Heng came to a realization.
It seemed that he had reincarnated as a Kobold, and one that had been newly-born.
Sensing this, Chen Heng’s body froze.
He never thought that things would be like this.
“Is this the outcome of not investing much Points?” Chen Heng thought to himself.
Kobolds were undoubtedly one of the lowest level creatures of this world.
As Chen Heng stood there, feeling quite complicated, the two Kobolds seemed to sense his aura and walked towards him as they spoke.
“Kalunu… Kalunu…”
They continuously spoke to Chen Heng, their voices seemed to be filled with joy.
Through his powerful mental energy, Chen Heng could tell that they were expressing joy at his birth.
They were most likely his parents in this life.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng could not help but shake his head.
Following this, Chen Heng spent some unforgettable time in this Kobold Tribe.
Just like most creatures that lived in groups, after baby Kobolds were born, they would be taken care of by their father and mother.
Ordinarily speaking, this would go on until they became mature.
Of course, that was just an ordinary situation.
If one’s parents were already dead, that would evidently not be the case.
However, fortunately, Chen Heng’s parents were still alive, so he could enjoy this kind of treatment.
However, to Chen Heng, this kind of treatment was not that great.
The Kobolds’ diet was quite disgusting to the human Chen Heng.
They were considered quite weak, and ordinarily they could only capture some small prey.
From Chen Heng’s observations, most of their diet consisted of different bugs.
Most of the bugs were dug up from underground, and there were many different kinds. They were usually mixed with vegetables and cooked.

In fact, even this was considered good food.
Only Kobolds with high positions or young Kobolds could enjoy this kind of food.
However, what surprised Chen Heng was that even though most Kobolds ate their food raw, or even still alive, some used fire to cook their food.
This was quite rare.
Moreover, they did not make their own fires and would only do so when they encountered fires in the wilderness.
It seemed that even though the Kobolds were somewhat barbaric, they still had some intelligence.
They had basic thinking abilities and some order.
Apart from the Kobolds in the wilderness, most Kobolds lived in tribes. Within the tribe, the Kobold with the highest position was the Chief.
After living in the Kobold tribe for some time, Chen Heng gained some deeper understanding towards the Kobolds.
In just a month, his body had become much stronger, and he was no longer as frail.
Humans normally took ten or so years to mature; this was much faster for Kobolds.
From when a Kobold was born to when they could mate, that only took three or four years.
However, that was all there was to it.
In the past month, he had barely been able to start walking, and he could not do much more.
However, Chen Heng was not in a rush.
After all, this clone did not have any special tasks to do.
