Chapter 416 - 280: Inspecting the Prototype Divine Realm and Divine Kingdom; Anchor Solidification or Prototype Magic Net?
Now that he had made his decision, Zhang Yi no longer hesitated.
Once he had devoured this Large Dark Plane—along with the nascent Divine Realm and Divine Kingdom built by Vampire Ancestor Cain—
and before the three-month mission deadline was up,
Zhang Yi would leave, taking the damaged Moon Miracle, the incomplete Plane Teleportation Gate, and the one intact Four-star Artificial Wonders: the [Evolutionary Blood Pool].
’Come to think of it, adding in the Magic Resources plundered by my Clans,’
’the rewards I’ll get for choosing and completing Mission Four are really quite substantial!’
...
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed in the mission world.
Within the Large Dark Plane, the precious Magic Materials and other special materials found only in Dark Planes
had been all but completely mined out, thanks to the combined efforts of the three Clans in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm.
The treasuries of the various Clans within the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had long since been filled to the brim.
At the same time, all the plundered knowledge of the Vampire Clan’s unique Blood Magic and its related techniques had been sent to the Magic Library.
The Elf Professors of the Magic Academy would study them next.
As for the Four-star Artificial Wonders [Evolutionary Blood Pool] and the incomplete Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact, the Plane Teleportation Gate,
through the joint efforts of the Elf, Dwarf, and Goblin Clans,
they too were transported back to the Divine Realm with their structures kept intact.
Only the Blood Moon in the sky remained. Zhang Yi’s Clans were unable to seal it and transport it back to the Divine Realm through the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate.
Therefore, Zhang Yi had to take action personally!
The act of sealing the Blood Moon,
and compressing it into a state that could be transported through the gate,
would inevitably cause a great disturbance.
That was why Zhang Yi had held back until now.
He waited until the three-month deadline for the mission assessment was almost over,
by which time he had also fully grasped the nature of the nascent Divine Realm and Divine Kingdom created by the Vampire Ancestor,
before he finally prepared to make his move.
Unlike cadets like Zhang Yi from the Blue Star Federation, who are trained to first build a Divine Realm,
native Divine Beings are first born on their planes, then gradually build their Divine Realms, and then their Divine Kingdoms.
Finally, they use their Divine Realm to encompass the plane of their birth, transforming the entire plane into their own Divine Realm.
Unfortunately, planes capable of birthing native Divine Beings usually produce more than one.
It is the norm for these Divine Beings to be locked in a stalemate, with no single one able to transform the entire plane into their personal Divine Realm.
To stand out among a host of native Divine Beings, become a Divine King, and forge an entire Pantheon,
is to be a true prodigy among Divine Beings!
But even so, a Divine King cannot simply kill all their Subordinate Gods and turn the entire plane into their own Divine Realm.
Therefore, a Divine Being like Zhang Yi from the Blue Star Federation
is inherently one step ahead of native Divine Beings and has a much more solid foundation!
However, this was not the time to be sentimental about the preferential treatment the Blue Star Federation gave them.
Zhang Yi focused his consciousness on the two truly important legacies left by the Vampire Ancestor—the nascent Divine Realm and the Divine Kingdom!
The nascent Divine Realm created by Vampire Ancestor Cain was very small,
occupying less than one percent of the Large Dark Plane.
But this was to be expected.
A Divine Realm needs to be infused with a Divine Being’s Spiritual Power and Power of Faith.
Only when the entire Divine Realm is suffused with the Divine Being’s own Spiritual Power and Power of Faith can the Divine Being receive a buff within it.
Without enough Power of Faith, it’s impossible to build a Divine Realm at all.
Vampire Ancestor Cain had needed to use the Plane Teleportation Gate to invade other worlds and rule the Clans of other Magic Planes just to supply himself with Power of Faith.
It was only natural that his Power of Faith was insufficient.
Thus, it was no surprise that the nascent Divine Realm the Vampire Ancestor had built was only two thousand square kilometers in size.
And it was only because Instructor Li Qiongtian had intervened, stabilizing the nascent Divine Realm that should have shattered upon Vampire Ancestor Cain’s death,
that Zhang Yi had the chance to see the effect produced by it!
[Blood Warm Bed]: New Clan members born within the Divine Realm will automatically gain an affinity for the Blood Law and the ability to absorb the blood of other races to acquire their Talents. A Clan member can absorb the blood of another Clan member and gain half the effect of one of their special Talents.
Zhang Yi still remembered that the effect his own Divine Realm had produced was [Evolution]!
When combined with the effect of his own Divine Kingdom,
the number of high-Talent Clan members in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm was steadily increasing.
As for the Divine Realm effect produced by the nascent Divine Realm built by Vampire Ancestor Cain,
although it couldn’t compare to the top-tier [Evolution] effect from Zhang Yi’s own Divine Realm,
it wasn’t without its merits.
Combined with the innate Talents of the Vampires, it was actually quite good.
However, compared to the Divine Realm effect, which he couldn’t devour,
Zhang Yi was more interested in the Divine Kingdom created by the Vampire Ancestor.
After all, his own [Natural Divine Kingdom] had the ability to devour other Divine Kingdoms or structures and acquire one of their effects!
(For native Divine Beings, the relationship between a Divine Realm and a Divine Kingdom can be explained like this: The Divine Realm is where the Clans live, and the Divine Kingdom is where they go after they die.)
[Dark Divine Kingdom]
[Effect One]: Darkness Amplification. Any place within the Divine Realm connected to or shrouded in Darkness will receive the amplification of the Dark Divine Kingdom. All Clan members will receive a buff to All Attributes, ranging from 1% to 10%. The stronger the individual, the greater the buff.
[Effect Two]: Anchor Solidification. By using mediums of faith, such as churches, statues, emblems, and so on, fixed anchors can be established in places far from the Divine Realm. Even if a Clan member dies and their Soul is not within the Divine Realm, the Lord of the Divine Realm can expend Power of Faith to use these faith mediums to guide the deceased Clan member’s Soul back to the Divine Kingdom.
[Effect Three]: Nascent Magic Net. Using the crafted Divine Kingdom, the Blood Moon, and the unique Magic Tides of the Dark Plane, a multi-layered, nascent Magic Net is born, centered on the Divine Kingdom and connecting all locations within the Divine Realm.
Even though he had long ago decided to devour the Divine Kingdom left by Vampire Ancestor Cain,
every time Zhang Yi saw its effects, he couldn’t help but marvel at the special environment of the Dark Plane.
Every time Zhang Yi’s [Natural Divine Kingdom] was upgraded by one Level,
it could devour the effect of another structure or Divine Kingdom.
But when Zhang Yi first saw the Divine Kingdom built by Vampire Ancestor Cain,
he had hesitated, faced with the choice between Effect Two and Effect Three of the Dark Divine Kingdom.
It wasn’t until the three-month mission deadline was nearly up
that Zhang Yi truly made his decision and chose to devour the Divine Kingdom’s Effect Two.
Effect Three was certainly good.
With the effect of the Dark Divine Kingdom, Zhang Yi could build a Magic Net in his own Divine Realm that connected the entire domain.
In the future, any member of the Elf Clan connected to the Magic Net would be able to cast Magic more safely and quickly.
Moreover, if Zhang Yi had his [Natural Divine Kingdom] devour Effect Three, the Nascent Magic Net,
given that his Divine Realm was more than ten times larger than Vampire Ancestor Cain’s,
his Elf Clan would be able to reap even greater benefits than the Vampire Clan ever could.
With the birth of the Magic Net, Zhang Yi could even consolidate the Divine Position of "Magic" within his Divine Realm.
But compared to Effect Two, Anchor Solidification,
Effect Three was still somewhat lacking.
By choosing Effect Two, when Zhang Yi’s Clans traveled to other planes for divine wars in the future,
as long as there were enough mediums of faith,
Zhang Yi would be able to recall the Souls of Clan members who died on those other planes back to his own Divine Kingdom.
This would greatly increase the population of his Divine Kingdom
and add to the warring Heroic Spirits in the Hall of Heroic Spirits!
The Magic Net, on the other hand, could only be used within Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm.
It was useless outside its range.
At that point, Zhang Yi’s Elf Mage Corps would have to re-familiarize themselves with casting Magic without the aid of the Magic Net.
So, all things considered, Zhang Yi still chose Effect Two!
As Zhang Yi expended Great Divine Power and Great Energy to control Elf High Priest Shamiel and forcefully "pack up" the nascent Divine Realm and Divine Kingdom left behind by Vampire Ancestor Cain in the Dark Plane,
the Large Dark Plane began to tremble slightly!
But Zhang Yi’s actions weren’t finished.
Immediately after, he spent over 200,000 Power of Faith to forcefully pack up the shattered Blood Moon as well,
bringing it back to his Divine Realm through the still-active Blood-colored Teleportation Gate!
