Chapter 469: Chapter 471: Settlement, The Event Concludes Chapter 469: Chapter 471: Settlement, The Event Concludes [Additional garbled code, recovery at 3:50 AM, if unable to recover, press and hold this chapter in the directory to re-download]
“Ah, a Rank 8 only dropped such garbage, too much of a loss.”
“Wait, why does a Rank 6 Terminator only need ten thousand ordinary resources and one thousand rare resources each???”
“After the Star Array is completed, Divine Artifact territory traits need to be further developed. As for the research on territory buildings, that has to wait for now as there is still a shortage.”
“You handle it.” Qin Muye dismissed Black Hand, who had to deal with it because his inventory could no longer hold items.
“The difference is pretty big.” Qin Muye didn’t plan to Divine Enthronement the Terminator just to see what would happen, it was just menial labor, not a big deal.
“Speaking of the Abyss Dragon Country… these dragon eggs are hatching too slowly, still all eggs till now, but the ecosystem is developing quite nicely…” According to Qin Muye’s estimate, it would take at least a hundred years for these dragon eggs to hatch into dragons.
“Forget it, it’s not like we’re short on the Dragon Clan, just consider them a surprise force.” Qin Muye never truly thought about cultivating them, but he planned to transform them further once he freed up some time, though he needed to wait until after they hatched for that, as lacking actual data was indeed troublesome.
“This is too crappy, it’s killing me!”
“Is there a possibility that this thing is called the Investiture of the Gods in the East?”
“Aren’t these all the same rank of troop? Why is the difference so huge???”
“Is this reasonable? This isn’t reasonable at all, I’m still Rank 6, who can afford this if it’s so expensive!”
“Master, the Golden Treasure Chest has been opened. Not much in it, but barely useful.” Black Hand brought over the items from the Heroic Level Golden Treasure Chest that dropped from Gendaya Mother Goddess.
[Attribution: Divinely Enthroned troops/heroes will return to the Fate Tablet upon death, can be revived by consuming corresponding resources]
[Divine Enthronement: Consuming corresponding resources to bestow Divine Spirit template to one’s troops/heroes, granting them additional profession, talent, skill, attribute]
[Divine Demon Prohibition: The weak wield blades, divine demons tremble, no taboos whatsoever]
After all, to him, these are just small matters. For big projects , he only needs to be in charge of research and training, he doesn’t even need to supervise, just focus on inspections when needed.
But Qin Muye didn’t care much about these matters. These two items were destined only to be thrown into the Supplies Warehouse to see if they could fetch a good price after transferring servers and potentially meeting other Lords.
Not only does he need to raise dragons but also restore the ecosystem, a completely unprofitable expenditure.
Beyond that, there’s also a Fate Tablet which, at first, seemed like a good thing, but upon closer inspection… it appeared somewhat unserious.
But if the ecosystem of the Abyss Dragon Country matured, then there would be no such concern, it would be a completely self-sustaining cycle. Though the ecosystem relies on the resources of the Endless Abyss, at least it would be self-sufficient without worries.
It’s not that the dragon eggs have a long hatching cycle, but that the ecosystem hasn’t fully matured yet, otherwise the nutrients required for the Dragon Clan to hatch would cause catastrophic damage to the entire ecosystem of the Abyss Dragon Country, then Qin Muye would have to foot the bill to assist.
At Qin Muye’s level of power, talent was just icing on the cake rather than a necessity, more importantly, he wasn’t even sure if his talents could be applied under his current circumstances.
Moreover, Qin Muye felt he likely had more than just one surprise troop like the Dragon Clan. If the Divine Artifacts gradually transformed into territory traits, similar situations would occur more often.
And now, he was looking at this time’s reward, just two items, Territory Trait*Divine Demon Prohibition and Mythical Level Treasure, Fate Tablet.
Recycling wrecks, carrying out mass extinctions, transforming the Main Material Plane, and other projects were all proceeding in an orderly manner, none of which Qin Muye needed to worry about.
Just like the Insect Nest Divine Artifact, once it becomes a territory trait, it forms a special Abyss layer for the Insect Race, similar to the Dragon King’s Divine Power.
Qin Muye isn’t too sure about the details; all he knows is that he has tested it before. There are no Divine entities in his territory, and the parts of the Gendaya Mother Goddess he had were already consumed by him, used as materials for his own purposes.
It would require consuming resources, and the consumption is not small.
Qin Muye tried using the Divine transformation on the Terminator troop type, but the prompt that popped up was entirely beyond his expectations–what kind of discriminatory treatment was this?
For a moment, Qin Muye was quite dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that the Fate Tablet would turn out to be something similar to the Investiture of the Gods. It was indeed hard to believe.
Previously, Qin Muye attempted to forcibly decipher this illogical territory building. There were some returns, but they didn’t match the cost of the investment–he ended up at a loss.
Then Qin Muye tried using the Divine skill on the Black Hand, but a prompt actually appeared asking for ten million ordinary resources and one million rare resources. He decisively canceled it.
Even if Qin Muye thought about it, he could create it himself given some time, and replicate it without using “Lord Era.” It just wouldn’t be very useful.
The Epic profession is High Priest of the Mind, and the SS Rank Bloodline is that of the Three-eyed Royal Family.
After some thought, he casually threw the Fate Tablet into the Supplies Warehouse to collect dust.
Although a Rank 6 Spirit Monster could annihilate a Rank 6 Terminator without leaving a trace, it wasn’t fair to increase the cost of Spirit Monsters just because they are too powerful.
So, Qin Muye could only think about pausing the operation for now.
This meant he couldn’t possibly be completely dedicated to it, at most he would let it develop into an ecosystem on its own.
So he just kept it with the thought of possibly using it later to create a territory trait, perhaps even developing a realm similar to the Abyss Dragon Country.
For the time being, he didn’t quite understand the effects clearly and need to find some unlucky individuals to test it out.
He couldn’t use the Talent Ascension Scroll, and as for the Building blueprints, the Spirit Monsters could design and manufacture those themselves. It was only treasures or instance-specific talents that held some appeal for him, but just slightly.
Otherwise, keeping them would be pointless.
If one were to speak of defying the heavens, it definitely would be such, by directly bestowing a Divine template. This would allow a troop or a hero to possess dual templates, which means while others have only one Attribute point, he would have two. Additionally, it would allow one to obtain a new profession, which he guessed would be something like a Divine Position of some god or another.
An Epic Reclassification Certificate, one Random Dungeon Scroll, a Server Transfer Token, and an SS Rank Bloodline.
Another unclear territory trait, Qin Muye was also unclear about its meaning for the moment, but it felt somewhat akin to the Dead Silence Power, only not as chilling. It was specifically targeted against these hazy divine entities.
In Qin Muye’s domain, Epic professions were everywhere, which was not the case in other lords’ territories. It was absolutely impossible to allocate them to every hero, especially matching professions and bloodlines, which could be sold for a good price.
The price was so high that it made his eyes turn green. After trying again, all heroes had the same price tag. The troops were slightly cheaper, basically missing a zero, which means one million ordinary and one hundred thousand rare resources. How could one afford that? Cancel!
These two could be considered as capabilities he acquired. The prerequisite for the High Priest of the Mind was needing the Three-eyed Royal Family’s Bloodline, and with the High Priest of the Mind’s Epic profession, one could fully exert all their power.
These matters definitely couldn’t be done on the server; it must be done in the instance world. Later, part of the Divine Artifacts would become territory traits, and then the entire instance world would be transformed into a Titan Level Giant Structure, achieving two goals with one action.
It all came together to form just a weakened version of the Gendaya Mother Goddess. If it were Mythical Level with an SSS Rank Three-eyed Clan Bloodline, then it might truly be the actual Gendaya Mother Goddess. Unfortunately, it was just short of that rank.
But what use did he have for so many High Priests of the Mind? Division of labor was the way to reach the heavens.
In Qin Muye’s eyes, both the Epic professions and SS Rank Bloodlines were just so-so.
As for quests… Qin Muye didn’t care much about them anymore because, for the Qin Muye of the past, the rewards from quests–like Talent Ascension Scrolls, Building blueprints, and so on–made up the vast majority of the benefits. But now, he had completely no need for them.
As for research, that was even less necessary. Qin Muye had already researched the Gendaya Mother Goddess, and he understood the principles of these two entities very well at a glance. He even had a sample of the Three-eyed Clan’s Bloodline, and although it wasn’t royal, he could refine it into a royal bloodline if needed.
