Chapter 381: Chapter 263: Gathering 1,000 Rune Blacksmiths, Changes in the Ancient Inheritance Training Camp, Mechanical Master
The next moment, an inexplicable tremor ran through every Profession in the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp].
The names and advancement paths of countless Professions began to fade,
but they were forcibly stabilized by a powerful force!
Zhang Yi watched intently, holding his breath.
He could feel all the Faith Value he had just invested,
which had now become a viscous agent, fusing the different Professions together.
Aided by the immense power of his Golden Finger,
it was forcibly deriving a Profession in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm that should have taken ages to emerge!
The light of the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] grew increasingly brilliant.
When it reached its peak intensity,
a new Profession finally appeared in the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm—the Mechanical Master!
Zhang Yi focused the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] on the Mechanical Master Profession and began to examine it.
[Mechanical Master Profession System]
Basic Profession: Mechanical Master (Levels 1–3)
Advanced Professions: Alchemist / War Forger / Mechanist / Master Craftsman (Levels 4–6)
Master Profession: Master of Strange Mechanisms (Levels 7–9)
Legendary Profession: Not yet emerged
Once created, the Mechanical Master Profession automatically adapted to the rules of the Divine Realm.
Each Level possessed a corresponding system of knowledge and exclusive abilities.
Zhang Yi just needed to transcribe the knowledge recorded in the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] and release it into his Divine Realm,
and he could establish the complete framework for the Mechanical Master Profession.
As for the Profession’s content for Ninth Level or Above, it hadn’t yet emerged,
but Zhang Yi wasn’t worried about that.
Once he ascended to the rank of True God,
he would naturally have the power to develop it to an even greater height!
As Zhang Yi examined the Mechanical Master Profession more closely,
he found something else that pleased him.
It seemed that when he had invested his Faith Value,
his decisiveness had an added benefit:
the sub-professions for the Mechanical Master Profession were also unlocked along with it!
The Alchemist, who could brew all sorts of Magic Potions; the War Forger, who possessed formidable combat power; the Mechanist, who could cultivate a mechanical creation entirely their own; and the Master Craftsman, who could both manufacture and apply Enchantments!
Furthermore, the Clan members in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm who had mastered similar Professions—
like those whose Professions were used as a basis for the fusion—
would get an opportunity to change to a closely related Profession after they mastered the Level one to three knowledge of the Mechanical Master!
For example, members of the Dwarf Clan with the Rune Blacksmith Profession would have a chance to switch to Master Craftsman.
The existing Goblin Engineers would have a chance to switch to Mechanist.
And the current Elf Alchemists would have a chance to switch to the Alchemist Profession...
This essentially fixed the issue of having a large number of dead-end Professions in his Divine Realm!
As for this method of further enhancing his Clan’s abilities through Profession changes,
it was such a great opportunity that Zhang Yi naturally had to implement it as soon as possible!
Therefore, after the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp] finished creating the Mechanical Master and its corresponding sub-professions,
Zhang Yi finished transcribing the entire system and advancement path for the Mechanical Master Profession,
and through an Oracle,
sent it all to Elf High Priest Shamiel.
He tasked her with promoting it
and with encouraging members of other, lower-potential Professions to switch to the Mechanical Master Profession!
Of particular importance to Zhang Yi were Goblin Great Sage Norton and Copperbeard Furnace of the Dwarf Heroic Clan.
After Elf High Priest Shamiel received the Oracle from the God of Nature,
in less than three days’ time within the Divine Realm,
Goblin Great Sage Norton completed his Profession change, mastering the Mechanical Master Profession.
On Goblin Great Sage Norton’s personal interface, his corresponding Profession and Skills had all changed.
As for the physical changes that occurred after his Profession change,
Goblin Great Sage Norton certainly noticed them.
"Praise My God!"
"Praise the great God of Nature!"
Such was Goblin Great Sage Norton’s reaction.
Now that the seeds of the Mechanical Master Profession had been sown, the next step was to let time take its course.
Thus, after investing all the Faith Value in his Divine Realm to derive the Mechanical Master Profession in the [Ancient Inheritance Training Camp],
Zhang Yi turned his attention to the Sun Divine Position he had stored within his Divine Realm.
After long consideration,
Zhang Yi had finally settled on a reliable member of his Clan to take on the Sun Divine Position!
As mentioned before,
a Divine Being’s Clan members had two paths to advancement.
One path was to coalesce a Divine Position, cultivate a Divine Format, and walk the path of godhood through faith.
The other path was to increase their own strength step by step, become a Hero, and rival the gods in the body of a Clan member!
This path also had another name: Desolate God.
This referred to unique individuals who existed by virtue of their immense power alone.
They could also command faith,
but it was not the direct faith of a Clan, but rather a primordial faith.
That is, the most direct worship of an object,
like the moon or the sun...
Neither path was inherently better than the other; it was simply a matter of which was more suitable for a particular individual.
’In my vision,’
’Clan members in my Divine Realm who have potential,’
’but whose potential isn’t quite enough...’
’...not enough to climb to the very peak on the path of self-improvement,’
’for those Clan members,’
’I will bestow a Divine Position to help them increase their power.’
’But for those whose potential is more than sufficient to reach the pinnacle on the path of self-improvement,’
’I will only provide them with enough resources to let them grow in that direction.’
Therefore, Zhang Yi’s ultimate choice landed on the [Sun Ancient Tree]!
The reason was quite simple.
When Zhang Yi bestowed a Divine Position upon a member of his Clan,
depending on the Clan member’s aptitude and affinity with that Divine Position,
the Clan member’s attempt to assimilate it could result in either success or failure.
Failure would lead to injury, and in severe cases, death.
Even in the case of success,
according to the information Zhang Yi had gathered,
without the aid of systems like the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net and the Divine Realm,
the assimilation process, relying solely on the Clan member, could take anywhere from a few days to several hundred years!
For a Ninth Level Clan member,
it was possible to survive for several years without eating by absorbing external Energy.
But a hundred years of unconsciousness would very likely cause irreversible damage to the body,
and there were even cases of a Clan member finishing the assimilation of a Divine Position only to find that nothing but their Soul remained.
Such things were not unheard of in the Multiverse.
In the Zhang Yi Divine Realm, there was a Clan member with a sun-related bloodline,
who was also the most powerful.
That was Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala.
However, Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala had already undergone three bloodline baptisms in the [Bloodline Evolution Pool].
Her potential had been raised to its current maximum,
with the Epic rank well within her reach!
Also, considering the monthly divine wars in the Main World,
the importance of the Heroic Clan’s Mage Captain, Joy Pala, was self-evident.
If Mage Captain Joy Pala were to die while assimilating the Sun Divine Position, it would be a devastating blow to the strength of Zhang Yi’s Clan.
Although the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had the [Ancient Heaven], which could resurrect Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala,
that only worked if her body remained intact and her Soul was unharmed.
The effects of assimilating a Divine Position, however, impacted both the Spirit and the physical body.
Zhang Yi couldn’t guarantee that the resurrection would be able to completely restore Mage Captain Joy Pala’s Soul.
Therefore, all things considered,
even Mage Captain Joy Pala, who had elevated her Flame Elf bloodline to that of a Sun Elf,
was not a suitable candidate to assimilate the Sun Divine Position.
The most suitable candidate in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm to assimilate the Sun Divine Position was, in fact, the [Sun Ancient Tree]!
This was a decision Zhang Yi arrived at after careful deliberation.
There were three reasons.
First, compared to Mage Captain Joy Pala, the sheer scale of the [Sun Ancient Tree] was undeniable.
The [Sun Ancient Tree]’s Life Force and Spiritual Power were both greater than Joy Pala’s, and its Recovery Power was stronger still!
Second, the [Sun Ancient Tree]’s affinity for the Sun Divine Position was higher than that of Mage Captain Joy Pala, even with her Sun Elf bloodline.
Mage Captain Joy Pala’s Sun Elf bloodline came from the [Sun Ancient Tree] itself.
Therefore, when it came to understanding the Sun Divine Position,
how could Mage Captain Joy Pala possibly compare to the [Sun Ancient Tree], which was the very source of that power?
