Free Web NovelChapter 181: Chapter 170: Dragon Lord; Growth-Type Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact—Hundred-Change Divine Kingdom
Zhang Yi took the terminal and immediately searched for support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts.
Since there were far fewer Semi-Divine Artifacts than Five-Star Divine Domain Cards,
Zhang Yi decided not to be picky about their grade.
After Zhang Yi finished his search for support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts,
thirty-two different ones appeared before him.
Zhang Yi opened the description for each Semi-Divine Artifact and examined their effects one by one.
[Spring Horn]
[Level: Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact]
[Effect]: Harvest. When the horn is sounded in spring, all crops within its effective range grow 30% faster, yield 20% more, and increase in quality by 10%.
[Evaluation]: You’re not just sounding the horn of spring, but heralding the bounty of autumn!
The very first support-type Semi-Divine Artifact Zhang Yi saw was a great fit for the Elf Clan.
However, its effect had similarities with the Five-Star Divine Domain Card, [Sky Garden], that he had just chosen.
The only difference was that this support-type Semi-Divine Artifact had a wider range and a more singular effect.
Zhang Yi continued to look down the list.
[Hundred-Change Star Monarch]
[Level: Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact]
[Effect One]: Hundred-Change. By wearing this mask, you can perfectly replicate anyone you have seen, including but not limited to their aura, appearance, and intellect...
[Effect Two]: Concealment. While wearing this mask, even an Upper Class Demigod will find it difficult to see your true identity. Only a True God could possibly see through it.
’This Semi-Divine Artifact would be perfect for assassinations,’
’but it would be too extravagant for the Shadow Elf Hassan to possess two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts.’
’Besides, I haven’t even looked through all the support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts yet!’
So, Zhang Yi sped up and continued to scroll down.
Then, he saw an Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact that filled him with delight!
[Hundred-Change Divine Kingdom]
[Level: Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact]
[Effect One]: Hundred-Change. You can freely choose the type of Divine Kingdom that manifests, from a heaven sheltered by Holy Light to a Hell brimming with malice. Your choice will generate two corresponding effects!
[Effect Two]: Devour. As this Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact’s grade improves, it can devour Divine Kingdoms of the same grade and retain one of their effects. With each upgrade in its level, the number of effects it can retain increases!
(Currently, an Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact can have a maximum of three effects.)
Evaluation: An upgradable Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact. You deserve it!
Zhang Yi never expected that among the Upper Class support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts,
there would even be a Divine Kingdom-type one from the Hundred-Change series!
Zhang Yi’s current strength was that of a Fifth Transformation Demigod.
One couldn’t even begin to form a Divine Kingdom without being a High Transformationed Demigod.
And to forge a Divine Kingdom suited to oneself required an immense investment of rare materials!
If upgrading a growable Divine Artifact has specific requirements,
then forging a Divine Kingdom is like forging a Divine Artifact with no limits, one that can be endlessly improved!
No matter how many materials were invested, it was impossible to ever finish forging a Divine Kingdom.
The construction of a Divine Kingdom is a never-ending process!
Giant Dragons in the Multiverse like to hoard all kinds of precious Magic Materials and Gemstones.
According to research by scholars of the Blue Star Federation, this was actually an inheritance passed down in the Dragon Blood, preparing them to build their Divine Kingdoms in the future.
Pure-blooded ones like the Five-Colored Giant Dragons or Metal Dragons often reach the strength of a High Transformationed Demigod upon entering adulthood.
If they want to advance their strength further, there are only two choices.
One is to ignite their Divine Fire and become a True God.
The other is to delve into their bloodline, purify it, and become an Ancient Giant Dragon!
It’s hard to say which of these two methods is easier or harder.
But one thing was certain: most Giant Dragons, after their strength stagnates, choose to cultivate their own Clan at this point.
That’s why across the various Magic Planes, wherever Giant Dragons appear, the title of Dragon Lord emerges.
Then, the appearance of Sub-dragons with diluted Dragon Blood, or Kobolds and Lizardmen carrying Dragon Blood... is hardly surprising!
Possessing a fully-forged Divine Kingdom is one of the mandatory requirements for a High Transformationed Demigod to ascend to True Godhood!
This prerequisite is as essential as igniting one’s Divine Fire to become a True God.
It is an indispensable condition!
The reason most of the teachers at Golden City No.1 Middle School are High Transformationed Demigods...
...mostly has nothing to do with having insufficient Faith Value.
As long as one stays at the High Transformationed Demigod stage long enough,
one way or another, the Clan in their Divine Realm will provide enough faith for them to ascend from High Transformationed Demigod to True God. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
What they truly lack...
...is actually the means to build a Divine Kingdom exclusively for themselves!
A Divine Kingdom capable of facilitating a High Transformationed Demigod’s ascension is like a bottomless pit for resources.
Without the support of a faction, it’s very difficult to complete it on one’s own!
That’s why many ordinary Demigods join the military after graduation.
Besides the good benefits, Demigods in the military are often the first to come into contact with other worlds.
As long as they can obtain a Divine Kingdom in the fight against the native Divine Beings of other worlds, even an incomplete one,
they can save more than half the expense!
And Zhang Yi, in this final exam, had lost quite a few Clan members while fighting in this Small Magic Plane.
After these Clan members died, their Souls were supposed to return to his Divine Kingdom.
Unfortunately, with Zhang Yi’s current strength, he couldn’t yet build a Divine Kingdom.
This caused the Souls of the Clan members who died believing in him to simply drift away.
The most common method was to use Divine Power to seal these Souls and then place them in the Divine Kingdom once it was established.
However, for some people, it takes too long to establish their Divine Kingdom.
Even Souls sealed with Divine Power would gradually dissipate after several thousand years.
But if Zhang Yi chose this Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact,
not only could the Souls of the Clan members who died in the final exam immediately return to a Divine Kingdom,
it would also give Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm an extra layer of protection!
After all, if someone were to declare a divine war against him in the future,
against an enemy of the same level,
the competition wouldn’t just be between their Clans, but also between their Divine Kingdoms!
However, Zhang Yi suppressed his excitement and looked at the other support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts.
After scanning the list one more time and confirming that none of the other support-type Semi-Divine Artifacts were as good as this one,
Zhang Yi chose this Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact!
After choosing the Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact, he handed the terminal to the principal.
This time, it was Zhang Yi who was the slow one.
Both Hong Tianyi and Huang Yingtian had made their choices faster than Zhang Yi.
Moreover, from the satisfied looks on their faces, it was clear they were both very happy with the Semi-Divine Artifacts they had chosen.
Seeing that all four of them had finished choosing,
the principal had them sit on the nearby sofa.
After a short wait,
a teacher brought everything the principal had requested.
As soon as this teacher entered, Zhang Yi and the others all focused their gazes on the box he was holding.
After the teacher walked past,
Zhang Yi and the others finally saw clearly that it wasn’t one box, but four small ones.
Principal Tang Weihua picked up the four boxes, checked the names on them, and handed them out one by one.
"Inside these boxes are your rewards. Everything has been sealed in the form of Divine Domain Cards."
"As for the spots in the University Alliance Training Camp, the invitation letters will be mailed to your homes during winter break."
"As long as there are no issues with the home addresses you provided, you should receive them about a week into the break."
Hearing this,
Zhang Yi, Wan Hua, Hong Tianyi, and Huang Yingtian all nodded, indicating there were no problems with the addresses they had provided.
"Very good!"
Principal Tang Weihua nodded.
"When you get to the preliminary trials for the University Alliance Training Camp, I hope you’ll all maintain this same drive!"
"Continue to bring glory to our Golden City No.1 Middle School!"
As he said this, Principal Tang Weihua smiled faintly.
"To encourage you, I’ve personally funded an extra Divine Domain Card for each of your rewards!"
"Its quality might not compare to the Five-Star Divine Domain Card you chose for yourselves, but consider it a small token of my personal support!"
Hearing the principal’s words, a flash of pleasant surprise appeared in the eyes of Zhang Yi and the others.
They had originally thought the school’s rewards were already generous enough,
but they never expected the principal to actually pay out of his own pocket to give them an extra surprise!
Moreover, the principal’s surprise also served as encouragement, and a feeling of warmth unconsciously blossomed in their hearts.
"Thank you, Principal!"
The four of them said in unison.
"You’re welcome. You’ve earned it!"
Principal Tang Weihua waved his hand, but the smile on his face showed that he accepted his students’ gratitude.
"Alright, you have your rewards now. Go back and properly digest what you’ve gained."
"Especially the Divine Domain Cards you’ve received. By the time the preliminary trials for the University Alliance Training Camp start, you probably won’t have time to integrate all three of them. You must be selective about which ones you integrate!"
"After winter break, the University Alliance Training Camp will be your main event. You will represent Golden City No.1 Middle School on a much grander stage!"
Hearing the principal’s speech, the four of them etched his words into their minds.
After bowing, the four of them left the principal’s office.
Not thirty meters from the principal’s office,
the four of them could no longer contain their excitement.
Although this was their first time formally meeting Huang Yingtian, friendships between men form quickly. After just a few words, they were already chatting away!
"Zhang Yi, what type of Divine Artifact did you choose this time?"
Wan Hua leaned in, taking Sima Yuan’s usual place.
At this, the other two also turned their heads to look at Zhang Yi.
After all, Zhang Yi had placed first in the final exam, and they were all very curious about the Semi-Divine Artifact he had chosen.
Zhang Yi smiled faintly and didn’t hide it.
"It’s a support-type Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact."
"A support-type Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact?"
The three of them asked in confusion at the same time.
The three of them had participated in the final exam with Zhang Yi, but they were far away from him and hadn’t watched the replay.
So, naturally, they didn’t know that Zhang Yi had already displayed the formidable power of possessing five Semi-Divine Artifacts during the exam!
He wasn’t short on ordinary attack-type Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts!
However, the other three were smart.
Hearing that Zhang Yi had chosen a support-type Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact,
instead of an attack-type one,
they knew that this particular Semi-Divine Artifact must have had some special quality that attracted him!
