Chapter 56: It's Time to Make Some Money
.
Zhu Rong, although he had saved the group of Elves because of a promise he made long ago,
that wasn't the only reason.
Elves by nature had a much higher affinity with the elements than normal people,
and even their cultivation talent was considered above average when compared to humans.
But then why were they still unable to gain the upper hand against the other empires?
The answer was simple, reproduction.
Unlike humans, who could conceive offspring every nine months, other races had very different cycles.
There were some species that needed only a few months for childbirth, and others, like the Elves, who would take more than double the time.
Twenty months, to be exact.
It was said to be tied to a race's talent, the stronger a race was, the harder it was for them to reproduce.
And what confirmed this theory even more was the fact that high level cultivators struggled much more to have children compared to ordinary people.
