Chapter 350: Chapter 249: Divine Realm Governor and Natural Heroic Spirit; A Growable Artificial Wonder: Hall of Heroic Spirits
Effects like governor training, information gathering, and situational insight also granted the Divine Realm Governors the ability to uncover the truth and pass fair and just judgments!
More importantly, as long as they held this Profession,
the Energy required to sustain their existence
could be obtained by absorbing the dissipated Power of Faith from the Believers’ faith in the God of Nature,
achieving self-sufficiency.
Zhang Yi would no longer need to invest Power of Faith in them.
Instead, by going out to work, they could break even,
and even maintain a Physical Body to move about the Divine Realm once they had accumulated enough Faith Value!
"Perfect!"
Thinking about the application of these Effects in the Divine Realm,
Zhang Yi couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
’This is the kind of governance system needed to maintain the normal operations of all the Clans in a Divine Realm!’
At the same time, it would also solve the problem of lacking Governors in the Divine Realm once and for all.
In the future, as long as Zhang Yi’s power continued to grow, the Divine Realm continued to expand, and the number of Clan members continued to increase,
the number of these Divine Realm Governors would only grow,
never decrease!
Because the Divine Realm Governors could only manifest a Physical Body after absorbing enough Faith Value from their designated regions,
Zhang Yi didn’t hesitate. He immediately selected a group of pious Clan members with faded memories from the Natural Divine Kingdom, appointed them as Divine Realm Governors, and granted them the authority to handle various affairs!
Of course, because they needed to absorb a sufficient amount of Faith Value to manifest their Physical Bodies,
for now, Zhang Yi only bestowed the Profession of Divine Realm Governor upon them.
It would be quite some time before they could actually handle the affairs of the Divine Realm.
And since handling the affairs of the Divine Realm didn’t require a Clan member to have immense power or a strong Soul during their life,
Zhang Yi decided to temporarily set aside the Souls of Count Yin Hai the Vampire and Vampire Viscount Hercules, who had reached the Ninth Level in life.
Zhang Yi planned to wait until he had examined the other Profession created by the Ancient Inheritance Training Camp before making a decision.
[Natural Heroic Spirit]
Introduction: Only those who were brave and fearless in life, achieved great military merit, and held extremely devout faith in the God of Nature may enter the Natural Divine Kingdom after death. They become Heroic Spirits within the Divine Kingdom, continuing to fight for the God of Nature, defending the Divine Kingdom and the Divine Realm!
Effect One: Heroic Spirit Summoning. Heroic Spirits, who may normally reside in various places throughout the Divine Realm, can be summoned to a location designated by the God of Nature when needed.
Effect Two: Combat Skill Inheritance. Although their memories are gone, all combat-related memories, such as martial arts and battle techniques mastered by the Clan member in life, are perfectly preserved.
Effect Three: Soul Body. As a Heroic Spirit, one can choose to enter a soul state. In this state, the Heroic Spirit has extremely high resistance to normal physical attacks, can pass through most solid obstacles, and possesses great agility.
Effect Four: Physical Body. As a Heroic Spirit, one can choose to enter a physical state. In this state, a body with corresponding Four-dimensional Attributes will be temporarily manifested based on the strength of the Soul. This action consumes an extreme amount of Faith Value!
Effect Five: Heroic Spirit Protection. When over 90% of the Heroic Spirits choose to protect the same object/building, they can form a Heroic Spirit protection barrier around it! Until this barrier is broken, the object/building within will not suffer any form of damage!
Note: Before converting a Clan member’s Soul from the Natural Divine Kingdom into a Natural Heroic Spirit, it is recommended to first spend Faith Value to generate the blueprint for the Hall of Heroic Spirits—the place where Heroic Spirits live and train—via the Ancient Inheritance Training Camp. Otherwise, the converted Heroic Spirits will consume a considerable amount of Faith Value in their daily existence!
When Zhang Yi first saw the Effects of the Natural Heroic Spirit Profession,
he was all set to convert the Souls of Count Yin Hai the Vampire and Vampire Viscount Hercules into Natural Heroic Spirits.
Fortunately, he saw the final note for the Natural Heroic Spirit Profession,
and Zhang Yi stopped himself just in time.
Comparing the two Professions, Divine Realm Governor and Natural Heroic Spirit,
Zhang Yi easily discovered that the Divine Realm Governor consumed less Faith Value daily. They could even sustain their Physical Body by absorbing the scattered Faith Value within their jurisdiction.
But when a Clan member’s Soul was converted into the more powerful Natural Heroic Spirit, the daily Faith Value consumption increased significantly.
At the same time, given the immense power these two Ninth Level Souls possessed in life,
Zhang Yi couldn’t bring himself to waste such a precious resource by converting these two Souls into Divine Realm Governors.
Therefore, Zhang Yi could only choose to continue investing Faith Value to first generate the blueprint for the Hall of Heroic Spirits, and then convert these two Heroic Clan Souls, who possessed Ninth Level Power in life, into Natural Heroic Spirits.
However, since all the Faith Value Zhang Yi had on hand had already been invested in the Pool of Faith to enhance his Clan’s strength, and into the Ancient Inheritance Training Camp to generate these two Professions,
Zhang Yi could only wait.
「And that wait brought him to the end of April.」
At the end of April, Zhang Yi’s accumulated Faith Value successfully recovered to 13 million.
So, Zhang Yi invested this 13 million Faith Value back into the Ancient Inheritance Training Camp, solely to generate the blueprint for the Hall of Heroic Spirits!
And his investment of 10 million Faith Value,
did not disappoint.
The Ancient Inheritance Training Camp produced the blueprint Zhang Yi wanted.
And when Zhang Yi took a look at the blueprint for the Hall of Heroic Spirits,
he discovered that it was actually a blueprint for an evolvable Artificial Wonder!
[Hall of Heroic Spirits (Evolvable Artificial Wonder)]
Effect One: Nurture Heroic Spirit. Heroic Spirits who reside in the Hall of Heroic Spirits will be nourished by a stable supply of the Power of Faith, drastically reducing their daily upkeep by about 70% and slowly increasing the strength of their Souls. At the same time, the Hall of Heroic Spirits contains training grounds; the reduction in Faith Value consumption does not apply when Heroic Spirits are undergoing high-intensity training.
Effect Two: Acquire Faith. The Hall of Heroic Spirits will connect to the important Divine Realm structure, the Pool of Faith. All faith consumed by the Heroic Spirits will be drawn from the Pool of Faith. If this source of faith is interrupted, the Heroic Spirits will be forced into a dormant state, reducing their Power of Faith consumption by 95%.
Effect Three: A Glorious Home. The existence of a Heroic Spirit is to fight for a Divine Being. Heroic Spirits who achieved great merit in life naturally do not wish to be forgotten after death. With every victory won in a War as a Heroic Spirit, they will obtain a "Concept of War." By absorbing this concept, the Hall of Heroic Spirits will upgrade itself, gaining more Effects. If there is a surplus of the "Concept of War," the Hall of Heroic Spirits has a chance to create a War-related Divine Position!
Note: The Hall of Heroic Spirits consumes an extreme amount of the Power of Faith. It is recommended to have it internally connected to the Pool of Faith.
Seeing the Effects described on the Hall of Heroic Spirits blueprint,
especially the line about it being an evolvable Artificial Wonder,
a sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yi’s eyes!
"Worth it!"
"So worth it!"
’This 13 million Faith Value was well spent!’
Although Zhang Yi had invested nearly 20 million Faith Value in total (specifically for the Natural Heroic Spirits and the Hall of Heroic Spirits),
not only did he get to see the first evolvable Artificial Wonder in his Divine Realm,
but more critically, he saw a future with infinite possibilities—one that could give birth to the Divine Position of "War"!
Adding in the other Miracle in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm that could produce a Divine Position, the Four-star Natural Wonder—the Northern Heaven Ridge—
Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm now had two Miracles that could reliably generate Divine Positions.
Compared to the other students who had to search the outside world to obtain a Divine Position,
Zhang Yi, who could now produce them himself, undoubtedly had far greater potential!
Now that he had the construction blueprint for the Hall of Heroic Spirits,
the only remaining issue was its construction!
That, however, was the least of his worries.
Zhang Yi issued an Oracle,
ordering Elf Queen An Nobel, Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer, and Goblin Mayor Hobali to cooperate fully,
to build the Hall of Heroic Spirits to the highest possible standard!
Zhang Yi believed that although the Hall of Heroic Spirits was currently just a One-Star Artificial Wonder, as it experienced various divine wars in the future,
it would soon become a Five-star Artificial Wonder!
