Chapter 427: Chapter 285: The First Five-star Natural Wonder: Moon of Serenity! The Divine Domain Origin is Strengthened
Frankly, the option Zhang Yi most wanted to choose was [Option Two]: Moon Fortress.
Among the three options, it was clear from the introduction alone that the Moon Fortress possessed the greatest offensive power!
Zhang Yi was still in the stage of increasing his own strength, and divine battles, large and small, were unavoidable.
If he could increase the power of his Clan, Zhang Yi would definitely pick the corresponding option.
However, after choosing [Option Two], Zhang Yi would also need a Clan capable of controlling the Moon Fortress.
But the Moon Fortress was, after all, forged from the moon.
It couldn’t just sit on the continent of his Divine Realm;
it would have to be in the sky.
If Zhang Yi wanted to use it,
his Clan would need to be able to fly into the sky and survive long-term on the moon, where the air was thin.
The Zhang Yi Divine Realm had no such Clan.
Although a Clan could fly and escape the pull of gravity after reaching High Level Power,
as mentioned before, they couldn’t fly for extended periods.
And before reaching Legendary Level power, a Clan still needed oxygen.
Therefore, if he chose [Option Two],
operating the Moon Fortress
would be a nearly impossible task for Zhang Yi’s Clan.
As for cultivating a new Clan,
that was even more out of the question!
The Main Clan and two auxiliary Clans in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had been meticulously selected by him, all with the goal of advancing the development of his Magical Civilization!
If Zhang Yi were to cultivate a new Clan now,
’Wouldn’t I have to use up an opportunity to load a Divine Domain Card?’
’Wouldn’t I have to invest a massive amount of resources?’
’Wouldn’t it cause the growth rate of my existing Clans to drop?’
...
This decision alone would throw his entire previous plan into disarray.
And to pay such a steep price just to choose [Option Two] and gain a Moon Fortress...
He might as well just honestly focus on strengthening his current Clans.
Perhaps in time,
Zhang Yi’s Clans would develop the power to build a Moon Fortress on their own.
And if he were to just treat the Moon Fortress as a decoration,
he would be better off choosing [Option One] or [Option Three].
So, Zhang Yi eliminated [Option Two].
After eliminating [Option Two],
Zhang Yi still had to choose between [Option One] and [Option Three].
If he chose [Option Three],
the damaged Blood Moon could certainly be fully restored.
The Blood Moon, converted from a Natural Wonder to an Artificial one,
would retain the effects of both Natural and Artificial Wonders. These effects could be preserved,
and might even become stronger!
But there was a problem!
Three Laws existed simultaneously within the Blood Moon.
The Moon Law, inherent to the Blood Moon, wouldn’t affect Zhang Yi’s Moon Elf Clan.
As for the Blood Law,
the Blood Elves within the Zhang Yi Divine Realm could cultivate it.
Only the Dark Law had no corresponding Clan to interact with it in his Divine Realm.
It was true that there were Dark Elves in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm,
but according to Zhang Yi’s plans, the Dark Elves’ main path of advancement was supposed to be toward becoming Moon Elves.
Zhang Yi had even prepared the Moon Ancient Tree for them.
He couldn’t just let the Dark Elves’ advancement path change on a whim!
This was just like the large processing field now established in the west of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm.
Why was it built?
One of the reasons was to mitigate the impact the corpses of the dead Vampire Clan had on the Divine Realm.
As a Clan’s power increased,
even the death of a High Level Power member would affect the surrounding environment.
It was just like the fall of a Divine Spirit.
When a Fire Attribute Divine Spirit fell,
wherever its Divine Corpse landed, the environment there would be transformed.
If it fell into the sea, the ocean would be instantly evaporated into dry land;
and if it fell on land, that land would become a sea of raging, inextinguishable fire!
The same logic applied to the Dark Law, which made up about a third of the Blood Moon’s essence.
The Moon Law would be absorbed by the Moon Elves;
The Blood Law would be absorbed by the Blood Elves;
but the remaining Dark Law had no Clan to absorb it.
Over time, the Dark Law would just accumulate within the Zhang Yi Divine Realm.
With no outlet,
it would gradually begin to affect all living beings in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm.
Dark Elves might appear among the Elves, Dark Plants might sprout among the Magic Plants...
Clans associated with Darkness were often tyrannical, cruel, and reclusive.
Zhang Yi did not want his originally gentle, peace-loving Clans
to suddenly become tyrannical!
Therefore, this problem alone
was enough to make Zhang Yi give up on [Option Three].
And the remaining value of the Blood Moon wasn’t enough to outweigh its disadvantages.
Thus, choosing [Option One]—
to turn the shattered Blood Moon into a pure Natural Wonder that would aid the development of the Clans in his Divine Realm—became Zhang Yi’s best option!
So, Zhang Yi made his decision: [Option One]!
The moment Zhang Yi made his decision,
in the next instant, under the influence of the Golden Finger’s mighty power,
the ball of light formed by Zhang Yi’s Divine Power that enveloped the Blood Moon immediately shattered.
A miniaturized version of the Blood Moon, compressed by Divine Power and covered in cracks, appeared before the eyes of every Clan member.
When the Blood Moon was released,
although its size had been reduced, its power had not.
Almost at the same instant the damaged Blood Moon was set free,
all the Clans on the Sacrificial Altar and in the Sacrificial Plaza
felt an indescribable, immense power—a combined descent of physical and Natural Law—crushing down on them!
At that moment, Zhang Yi’s Divine Illusion appeared above the Sacrificial Altar.
With a light wave of his hand,
the pressure that threatened to crush the other Clans into the ground suddenly vanished.
Only then could the Clans straighten up.
Seeing the Clans on the Sacrificial Altar and Sacrificial Plaza return to normal,
Zhang Yi’s Divine Illusion let out a sigh of relief, unseen by the other Clans.
’If I had let the damaged Blood Moon unleash its original power unrestrained,’
’at least half the Clans watching this ritual would have died!’
The main reason was that Zhang Yi hadn’t expected his Divine Power to be suddenly nullified by his Golden Finger.
After Zhang Yi cast a protective Divine Art on the Clans,
and they had recovered,
they saw the cracks on the Blood Moon’s surface mending at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the superfluous Dark Law and Blood Law on the shattered Blood Moon
were swiftly washed away like dirt from a white slate,
turning it pure white,
a moon that retained only the Moon Law!
The stripped Dark Law and Blood Law were not wasted, either.
The Blood Law was converted into energy,
and after preserving the beneficial effects of the Dark Law,
a portion of the Dark Law was also integrated into the new moon!
At the same time, the Natural Divine Position that Zhang Yi controlled
resonated with its subordinate law, the Moon Law!
Guided by a sudden inspiration,
Zhang Yi drove the Law imprint of his Natural Divine Position and his Divine Domain Origin into the brand-new moon that had appeared before him!
The newly appeared Moon of Serenity was a size smaller than the previous Blood Moon.
But its form was more perfect, radiating a gentle, cool, silver brilliance!
The moonlight cascaded down like flowing water, carrying not a hint of threat, but possessing the effect of soothing the anxieties in the Clans’ hearts.
As soon as the newborn Moon of Serenity appeared, it intertwined with the Natural Law and the Divine Realm of Zhang Yi,
as if this moon had existed since the very birth of his Divine Realm!
At the same time, a gravitational pull emanated from the sky of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm,
tugging at the Moon of Serenity before Zhang Yi’s eyes!
Sensing this pull,
Zhang Yi released the binds of his Divine Power on it.
Then, the Moon of Serenity slowly ascended from low to high, flying up into the sky of the Divine Realm, to the place where it was meant to be!
「A few minutes later.」
The Moon of Serenity settled into its rightful place!
「From now on.」
A true Natural Wonder—the Moon of Serenity—
had replaced the virtual moon originally provided by the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net!
Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm now truly possessed a moon of its own!
At the same time, Zhang Yi could also feel
that as the Moon of Serenity returned to its position,
the Space of his Divine Realm had become much more stable!
While other students were still unsure how many Divine Domain Cards they could load per month in the second year, after their Divine Realm’s first year was over,
Zhang Yi now had a definite answer!
Once the second year of his Divine Realm began, he would be able to load a guaranteed minimum of two Divine Domain Cards every month!
