Chapter 335: Chapter 242: Five Great Divine Artifacts, Celestial Destiny Compass, Tower of Time, and Ten Thousand Laws Dao Stele
Upon hearing the arrangements from the God of Nature, delivered through Elf High Priest Shamiel, both Feiyana, now promoted to Legion Commander, and Eric, the new commander of the Blood Elf Corps, bowed their heads low.
"We shall follow the Oracle’s arrangements!"
Zhang Yi gazed through the eyes of Elf High Priest Shamiel at the two prostrated members of his Heroic Clan, then continued to speak:
"Eric, you are hereby appointed as Legion Commander of the Blood Elf Corps. You will be under the command of Legion Commander Feiyana."
"However, as the Blood Elf Clan Army has only just arrived, it would be unsuitable for them to operate alongside the Elf Corps, who have already established their own synergy."
"Therefore, I will grant you a degree of autonomy."
"You are permitted to maintain a force of up to five regiments under your direct command."
"Whether you choose to fill these five regiments entirely with the Blood Elf Clan,
or to coordinate with Legion Commander Feiyana and integrate other Elf Clans for better synergy,
the decision is yours!"
"But remember, your mission in the battles to come is to lead the elven army, act as the vanguard, and win victories for the Divine Realm!"
"Regardless of the type of Elf Clan, all are Clans under My protection!"
"You are to treat them all as equals!"
"If goblins and Dwarves can cooperate in the same corps, then so can you."
Zhang Yi paused for a moment.
"The favorable terms I have offered you are more than generous!"
"Do not disappoint my expectations."
"If you cannot complete even this basic task, then you have no business being a Legion Commander. You can wait to serve as a common soldier under Legion Commander Feiyana!"
These words from the God of Nature were utterly ruthless.
But having been in the Divine Realm for four or five days,
knowing how new Clans were typically treated upon entering the Divine Realm,
and understanding that his own reception had been excellent, Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric nodded.
"I understand. I will not fail My God’s expectations."
Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric’s reply was resolute.
Seeing Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric nod and make his promise,
Zhang Yi, controlling Shamiel’s body, also gave a slight nod.
Having concluded the arrangements for Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric,
Zhang Yi let out a sigh of relief and turned to Legion Commander Feiyana.
"Feiyana, although the Blood Elf Clan Army will serve as the vanguard and possess a degree of autonomy,
you remain the supreme commander!"
"Therefore, in the battles to come, you must focus on the coordination between the two great corps and their different Clans."
"Is that clear?"
"Yes, My God!"
Legion Commander Feiyana responded with solemnity.
A resolute light shone in her eyes.
Legion Commander Feiyana had been worried that she wouldn’t be able to command the new Blood Elf Corps.
’After all, the two Clan Corps are similar in size,’
’and the strength of their respective Heroic Clan leaders is comparable.’
’A situation where neither would submit to the other was highly likely.’
’But she had never expected...’
’that the great God of Nature had remembered this matter all along,’
’and that today, He would summon them both, stand behind her, promote her, and establish her authority!’
’He was even having her take command of half the Blood Elf Clan Army.’
If not for the presence of Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric, Legion Commander Feiyana would likely have been moved to tears.
’So, no matter what,’
’Legion Commander Feiyana, her heart echoing with loyalty, would never disappoint her God’s expectations!’
’She would complete the mission assigned by her God, no matter what!’
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he dismissed them.
Now, Zhang Yi had other matters to attend to in his Divine Realm.
This included arranging a place for the new Elf mounts—the Horned Eagle Beasts—to live and breed,
as well as spreading the faith of Natural Pantheism among the Blood Elf Clan Army.
These were the next tasks on Zhang Yi’s agenda.
As the two members of the Heroic Clan departed from Elf High Priest Shamiel’s room,
mediated by their God,
Legion Commander Feiyana and Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric walked out side by side.
Their relationship was clearly much more harmonious.
"Legion Commander Eric."
Legion Commander Feiyana spoke first.
"Since My God has entrusted the vanguard mission to you, I’d like to hear your thoughts."
Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric gave a slight nod.
"The Blood Elf Clan possesses great physical strength and excels in close combat, making them ideal for direct assaults and surprise attacks."
"I presume My God took this into account when He designated the Blood Elf Corps as the Vanguard Corps."
"Good."
Legion Commander Feiyana nodded.
"But you heard My God’s orders as well."
"Aside from the five regiments you retain, the rest of the Blood Elf Clan will be integrated into the Elf Clan Corps under my command."
"Seeing is believing,
and without seeing you in action, I can’t know your true capabilities or make proper arrangements for your troops."
"So, how about we hold a military drill?"
Blood Elf Legion Commander Eric agreed.
’After all, he too had understood the meaning behind his God’s Oracle and intended to cooperate with the military reforms.’
’The extent of his cooperation, however, would depend on the outcome of this military drill!’
...
After handling these matters in the Divine Realm, Zhang Yi saw that it was almost evening.
He exited the Divine Domain Connection Pod and waited for Instructor Li Qiongtian’s arrival.
Not ten minutes after Zhang Yi exited the Divine Domain Connection Pod, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Yi went to open the door and saw Instructor Li Qiontian, a broad smile on his face.
"Looks like you’ve finished processing your gains from the Divine Realm."
Instructor Li Qiongtian walked into Zhang Yi’s room, holding a thick contract.
"This is the special recruitment contract from Tianya Academy’s admissions office. They’ve revised it based on my previous suggestions and the terms you agreed to."
"Take a close look."
"If you’re not satisfied with any part of it, we can still negotiate."
Instructor Li Qiongtian’s words were clearly spoken with sincerity.
Or perhaps, ever since Zhang Yi had demonstrated his considerable Talent during the provincial exams, Instructor Li Qiongtian had consistently treated him with this level of sincerity and friendliness.
Zhang Yi, for his part, readily accepted Instructor Li Qiongtian’s goodwill.
He took the contract and began to read through it carefully.
With his current power as a High Transformationed Demigod,
even though the contract was nearly a hundred pages long,
Zhang Yi could read through the entire thing and commit it to memory in just a few minutes.
As Zhang Yi read the contract,
he saw right at the beginning,
that upon enrollment, he would be entitled to the highest tier of cultivation terms: S Level.
At this, Zhang Yi felt quite pleased.
Then, Zhang Yi read on,
and saw the condition Instructor Li Qiongtian had promised him:
upon enrollment, he could enter the academy’s treasury and select any one Demigod Level item,
be it a Divine Domain Card or a Semi-Divine Artifact.
At this, Zhang Yi still managed to remain calm.
It wasn’t until he saw the details of the Divine Artifacts possessed by each of Tianya Academy’s five major campuses, and their Effects,
that Zhang Yi could no longer maintain his composure. His expression shifted, revealing his astonishment.
Previously, Zhang Yi had known that each of Tianya Academy’s five campuses possessed a Divine Artifact, but he hadn’t known their specific quality or Effects.
It was only now, reading this contract,
and being bound by its confidentiality clause,
that he finally learned,
what Divine Artifacts each of Tianya Academy’s five major campuses possessed!
Tianya Academy’s Central Campus, the main campus Zhang Yi would be entering,
possessed a Middle-level Divine Artifact: the Celestial Destiny Compass,
a Divine Artifact of the fate type!
And for a Divine Artifact of the fate type,
its value went without saying!
Among all Divine Artifacts, those of the fate type were in the highest echelon of value.
The Effect of the Celestial Destiny Compass was to divine the secrets of heaven for students, bless them with good fortune, help them seek prosperity and avoid disaster, and even formulate the most suitable path for their future development.
Tianya Academy’s East Campus possessed a Middle-level Divine Artifact: the Tower of Time!
Its Effect: time inside the tower could be freely adjusted, with the flow of time reaching up to ten thousand times faster than the outside world.
One day outside was equivalent to ten thousand days inside!
Students could enter to deepen their mastery of their Divine Position (Law).
If a student was unwilling to enter,
they could also, from outside the tower, have the Tower of Time bestow a separate Time Acceleration upon the Divine Realm within their body.
For instance, the ratio of time flow between one’s Divine Realm and the Main World could be adjusted to 100:1.
However, this Effect was time-limited.
The greater the time ratio, the shorter the duration it could be maintained in the Main World.
Tianya Academy’s West Campus possessed a Middle-level Divine Artifact: the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Stele!
A Middle-level Divine Artifact forged from the Stone of Chaos, the stele resonated with the Dao rhythm of ten thousand Laws.
Simply by cultivating near the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Stele, students could greatly accelerate their mastery over their Divine Position and even comprehend new Laws.
’If I could enjoy the Effects of the Divine Artifacts from both the East and West campuses,’
’my mastery of my Divine Position could reach an astonishing level in a very short time!’
Tianya Academy’s South Campus, on the other hand, possessed a Low Class Divine Artifact: the Creation Spirit Pool!
The Creation Spirit Pool nurtured a pool of Spiritual Water.
When sprinkled into a Divine Realm, this Spiritual Water could greatly enhance a Clan’s potential and aptitude, accelerating the growth of their power.
It was a known fact that for a Lord of the Divine Realm to grow stronger, they had to rely on the Clans within their Divine Realm.
And once the divine wars began,
high-end combat power later on,
would depend entirely on the Heroic Clan within one’s Divine Realm.
Therefore, for other Lords of the Divine Realm who didn’t possess as many treasures as Zhang Yi for enhancing their Clan’s strength and bloodline,
the Spiritual Water from the Creation Spirit Pool was an incredibly precious resource for improving their Clan’s aptitude.
Finally, Tianya Academy’s North Campus possessed a Low Class Divine Artifact: the War Hall!
The War Hall could create an Illusion Realm that simulated thousands of different war scenarios.
This could not only increase a student’s own combat experience,
but it could also be used by their Clans,
improving a Heroic Clan’s ability to command large-scale battles and increasing the combat experience of ordinary Clan members,
thereby forging an elite corps of a Hundred Battles, Hundred Victories!
With these Five Great Divine Artifacts, each of Tianya Academy’s campuses had its own unique specialty!
