Free Web NovelChapter 187: Chapter 174: The Natural Divine Kingdom High in the Heavens, the Souls of the Loyal Return to the Divine Kingdom; [Achievement: Divine Kingdom Transfer]
[Option 1]: 2,000 Bloodline Evolution slots. Convert all sacrificed corpses into bloodline essence, granting a one-time opportunity for 2,000 Clan members to undergo Bloodline Awakening!
[Option 2]: 2,000 Power Enhancement slots. Convert all sacrificed corpses into bloodline power, granting a one-time opportunity for 2,000 Clan members to increase their power!
[Option 3]: 1,000 Potential Enhancement slots. Convert all sacrificed corpses into 1,000 opportunities for Clan members to enhance their potential. This can enable Clan members who could originally only reach Middle Class power to gain the potential to break through to the Upper Class; it also gives those who could already reach the Upper Class on their own a sliver of a chance to become Legendary!
When Zhang Yi saw the three options, he noticed that [Option 3] contained something entirely different from what was usually offered.
His curiosity was piqued, and he carefully examined the details of [Option 3].
After reading it, Zhang Yi mulled it over for a moment before making his decision.
He chose [Option 3]!
It wasn’t that [Option 1] was bad.
Rather, it was because Zhang Yi had already constructed a [Bloodline Evolution Pool] in his Divine Realm.
Even though the competition for the University Alliance Training Camp was approaching, there was still some time left to prepare.
Zhang Yi estimated he had more than half of his winter break to rest and recuperate, a period during which no battles would be necessary within his Divine Realm.
Given the time dilation between the Divine Realm and the Main World,
the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] could be activated at least twice, as it operated on a once-a-year cycle.
Before he had the [Bloodline Evolution Pool], Zhang Yi had to rely on the choices provided by his Golden Finger to enhance his Clan’s bloodlines.
If he still had to rely on his Golden Finger after obtaining the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] to enhance his Clan’s bloodlines,
’then wouldn’t his Five-star Divine Domain Card, the [Bloodline Evolution Pool], have been a complete waste?!’
Besides, Zhang Yi had now established his Divine Kingdom. As long as he had enough Faith Value, he could directly enhance his Clan’s bloodlines and power.
Even if Zhang Yi didn’t directly boost their power,
the Clan members could still improve on their own through cultivation.
Only the third option—enhancing his Clan’s potential—was something Zhang Yi was currently unable to do on his own in his Divine Realm!
And this wasn’t a small number of slots; it was a full thousand!
Although Zhang Yi had returned from the Small Magic Plane after his final exams to find his forces had grown to eight Elf Corps, totaling eight thousand Elf Soldiers,
only three thousand of those eight thousand Elf Soldiers were originally from the Zhang Yi Divine Realm.
And while they were all now considered Clan members of his Divine Realm,
the aptitude of the newer batch of Elf Soldiers was ultimately much lower than that of the original group from his Divine Realm.
Besides, he had no intention of using these thousand slots
on ordinary Elf Soldiers.
It wasn’t that ordinary Elf Soldiers were unimportant.
Rather, as his own power grew, Zhang Yi came to understand a fundamental truth: the outcome of a war is decided by elite forces.
A single Forbidden Curse Spell cast by the combined Elf Mage Corps was enough to annihilate a small Elf City,
despite the city’s population outnumbering the mages by tens, or even hundreds, of times.
Zhang Yi’s Clan had two elite forces: one was the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, which practiced both Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation,
and the other was the Elf Mage Corps.
A thousand slots weren’t even enough to upgrade both of these corps.
However, once Zhang Yi made his choice, the reward for [Option 3] was quickly delivered to him.
With a mere thought from Zhang Yi,
the face of the Great God of Nature, which had been hanging in the night sky as an outline of golden light and white Power of Faith that filled more than half the vision of the praying Elves below,
slowly opened its eyes.
A voice like thunder resounded in the ears of the Clan members.
"For your meritorious service in the crusade against the Alien God and the Heretics, I now bestow one thousand opportunities to enhance potential and will open the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] twice!"
"Those with outstanding potential and illustrious combat merits may receive these opportunities. In addition, those with the most superior combat merits may also enter the [Bloodline Evolution Pool]. This process will be managed by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana and supervised by Elf High Priest Shamiel!"
"Remember, the Dwarf Clan also contributed, both on the front lines and in the rear.
Distribute these rewards with care!"
Hearing the Great God of Nature in the sky promise rewards for the crusade against the Alien God,
all the members of the Elf Clan below gave thanks for their great Elf God’s benevolence.
As for Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer and the other Dwarves, when they heard that the Great God of Nature remembered them and had specifically mentioned them,
ensuring their share of the rewards wouldn’t be taken by the Elves,
an endless sense of adoration for the Great God of Nature swelled in their hearts!
The clear system of reward and punishment, combined with the miracle Zhang Yi had just displayed,
caused a series of prompts from the Life Divine Realm to sound in Zhang Yi’s ears:
[DING!]
[Prompt]: Under the guidance of Elf High Priest Shamiel, and after the Great God of Nature revealed His miracle, the faith of all Clan members in the God of Nature has deepened!
[Event]: Fifty-six members of the Dwarf Clan have become Fanatic Believers, four hundred eighty-six members of the Elf Clan have become Devout Believers, and one thousand six hundred forty-eight members of the Elf Clan have become True Believers...
[Event]: Congratulations! You have gained 153,620 Faith Value!
...
In the atmosphere meticulously orchestrated by Elf High Priest Shamiel, many Clan members began generating Faith Value the moment they saw the Great God of Nature.
After they heard the Great God of Nature issue fair rewards,
a massive, unceasing stream of Faith Value poured in!
The Faith Value that Zhang Yi had spent to fully activate his Divine Kingdom
was now not only completely recouped but had even increased!
The colossal visage of Zhang Yi in the sky also revealed a hint of a pleased expression.
’It’s time to tell the Clan members the second piece of good news,’
’and give their faith in me a massive boost!’
Then, the immense, thunderous voice once again echoed in the ears of the Clan members:
"The Divine Kingdom is the dwelling place of a Divine Being!"
"It is also the final home of the loyal and faithful!"
"Those who fight for me, upon death, their Souls shall return to the Divine Kingdom!"
"The unfaithful, upon death, their Souls shall be cast into Hell!"
"Ordinary Believers, upon death, may have their memories erased and be reincarnated!"
"With a Soul’s return to the Divine Kingdom, the Soul is not extinguished! You may live a second life and fight once more for the Great God of Nature!"
As Zhang Yi’s earth-shattering proclamation concluded,
his voice echoing throughout the entire Divine Realm,
the piously praying members of the Elf and Dwarf Clans below
first fell silent, then erupted with an unprecedented, unparalleled fervor!
At this moment, every member of the Elf and Dwarf Clans boldly raised their heads to gaze upon the face of the God of Nature that had appeared in the sky.
They looked toward the brilliant, radiant God of Nature in disbelief, their hearts filled with a burgeoning hope.
"Soul Return to the Divine Kingdom... an immortal Soul... a second life?!"
This was no promise an ordinary Divine Being would dare to make!
It surpassed any reward a Divine Being might typically grant their Clan.
This was the ultimate, perfect, and most profound acknowledgment the Great God of Nature could give to His devoted Clan!
Before this, Death had been the end.
None of the Clan members knew what came after Death.
Even the most Devout Believers, with their limited understanding, could only imagine that they might find peace in death or perhaps accompany the Great God of Nature in the afterlife.
But now, the Great God of Nature had clearly painted them a picture of a tangible, honor-filled future!
"The loyal can enter the Divine Kingdom, the unfaithful will be cast into Hell, and even ordinary Elves have the chance of Reincarnation!"
"Dying in battle for the Great God of Nature is not the end of one’s Life. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
On the contrary, not believing in the Great God of Nature and instead following other Alien Gods is what truly leads one’s Soul to oblivion.
Even General Believers and nominal believers have a chance at Reincarnation after death!"
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he allowed the Clan members below ample time to process his words.
Then, as Zhang Yi mobilized his Divine Power with a thought,
he released the Souls of the many Elves and the few Dwarves who had died in the Small Magic Plane, which he had been protecting with his Divine Power.
Furthermore, as his Divine Power spread across the entire Divine Realm, the Souls of the Elves who had died there in the past
also transformed into motes of light.
Joining the Souls Zhang Yi had just released, they all transformed into a meteor shower, streaking toward the Divine Kingdom high above the Divine Realm.
Many of the Elves and Dwarves below swore they could see the faces of their own friends and family among the Souls ascending to the Divine Kingdom.
Countless Clan members wept at the sight.
This sacred scene was deeply seared into the heart of every single Clan member below.
The prompts from the Divine Realm became a roaring tide, flooding Zhang Yi’s mind!
[DING!]
[Prompt: By revealing the Divine Kingdom, the Great God of Nature has ignited the hopes of countless Clan members. Their fear of Death has been completely transformed into a desire for the honor that follows it. At this moment, the loyalty of many Clan members toward the Great God of Nature has soared to unprecedented heights!]
