Chapter 431 - 287: Breakthrough Rules for Ordinary and Top-Level Divine Positions, Different Paths to the Same Destination
Chapter 431: Chapter 287: Breakthrough Rules for Ordinary and Top-Level Divine Positions, Different Paths to the Same Destination
This created two different paths for advancement!
For a Demigod like Zhang Yi, who started by forming a Top Level Divine Position as their path to becoming a True God,
Reaching a 1% understanding of a Top Level Divine Position was enough to ascend to True God and become a Weak Divine Being.
Upon reaching 2% understanding, they could advance to a Weak Divine Being.
Upon reaching 5% understanding, they could advance to a Middle-Level Divine Being.
And upon reaching 10% understanding, they could advance to a Powerful Divine Being!
As for a Ninth Transformation Demigod who began by forming a Divine Position from a Lower Class Law,
for a Divine Position formed from a Lower Class Law,
even with 100% understanding,
their Power would still only be that of a Weak Divine Being.
Only by elevating their understanding of the Lower Class Law to a Middle-tier Law, and then reaching 10% understanding of that Middle-tier Law,
could a Weak Divine Being advance to a Weak Divine Being!
By the same logic,
even if a Weak Divine Being reached 100% understanding of a Middle-tier Law, they would still be unable to break through.
Only by reaching 10% understanding of an Upper-tier Law could they break through from a Weak Divine Being to a Middle-Level Divine Being.
To continue advancing from there, they would need to reach 10% understanding of a Top Level Divine Position to ascend to a Powerful Divine Being!
All roads lead to the same destination.
A Demigod who chose a Top Level Divine Position as their Main Divine Position from the very beginning, and a Demigod who advanced step by step, raising the Lower Class Divine Position they initially formed into a Top Level Divine Position of the same type—
both ultimately returned to the same starting point for the final stage of ascending to a Powerful Divine Being.
However, Zhang Yi couldn’t think that far ahead for now.
For Zhang Yi,
all that mattered was using this trip to the University Alliance Training Camp to successfully reach 1% understanding of his Natural Divine Position before it ended.
He reviewed the rules his grandfather, Zhang Shumo, had told him about advancement after becoming a True God.
As the Power of the Golden Finger faded,
the light above the Sacrificial Altar, which only Zhang Yi could see, also began to fade.
Finally, all the strange phenomena subsided.
Two Elf Dragon Eggs, each about the size of a human head,
appeared above the Sacrificial Altar, glowing with an emerald and pale-gold radiance.
They also appeared before the eyes of the entire Clan.
Elf High Priest Shamiel, being closest to the two Dragon Eggs, had the clearest view.
The Dragon Eggs were not pure white and flawless.
On the contrary, the shells of the two Elf Dragon Eggs—one male, one female—were covered in naturally formed runes that looked something like a cross between Elvish script and the Draconic tongue.
However, just from the powerful aura emanating from the two eggs and the resonance they stirred in her own bloodline,
Elf High Priest Shamiel knew that these two eggs before her were no ordinary things!
Overcome with a sudden joy, Zhang Yi worried that his Clan below wouldn’t understand the origin of these two eggs and might inadvertently shatter or discard them. So, he decided to send down an Oracle.
Only this time, the Oracle didn’t need to be one that only Elf High Priest Shamiel could hear!
"These two are the eggs of Elf Dragons!"
"Though they belong to the Dragon Clan, they are also deeply connected to the Elf Clan!"
"Hatch these eggs. The Elf Dragons born from them will possess Legendary Level Power from the moment of their birth!"
"Then, these two Elf Dragons shall become allies of the Elf Clan and serve me!"
The majestic voice of the Oracle echoed across the Sacrificial Altar and the surrounding plaza.
Upon receiving the Oracle from their God,
Elf High Priest Shamiel was the first to recover.
Then, she erupted with incredulous joy!
Next were the Elf Mages and Elf Druids, who were overcome with ecstasy.
"Elf Dragons!"
"Those are a branch of the Dragon Clan so rare they’re spoken of only in legends!"
"Our great God actually procured two eggs of the Dragon Clan!"
"And Elf Dragon Eggs, no less! A species so closely tied to the Elf Clan!"
After High Priest Shamiel fully processed their God’s Oracle and reacted,
the Elf Mages and Elf Druids were also overcome with profound excitement!
However, High Priest Shamiel’s professionalism was impeccable.
Even though she felt dazed, as if struck by a surprise that had fallen from the heavens,
High Priest Shamiel immediately came to her senses, leading the Clan behind her in prostrating themselves deeply.
Her voice trembled with emotion.
"We thank you for your divine gift, My God!"
"We thank you for the allies you have granted us!"
Just a second behind High Priest Shamiel in grasping the full implications, the Elf Mages and Elf Druids followed her lead and knelt. As they did so, their minds, buzzing with excitement, were already racing with new ideas!
The prostrating Elf Druids,
all at once,
had the very same thought as Zhang Yi.
Namely,
that once the Elf Dragons hatched, they could serve as a template for transformation,
allowing the Elf Druids of the Divine Realm to transform into Elf Dragons!
’Even if learning to become an Elf Dragon is incredibly difficult, I must master this form of transformation!’
thought Richard, the most powerful Elf Druid in the Divine Realm.
The Elf Mages, however, had a different idea.
Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala was more interested in studying the Elf Dragon’s anatomy,
as Transformation Spells included a branch for turning into members of the Dragon Clan.
And through the many divine battles they had fought and the books they had collected from other planes,
they had learned that the Dragon Clan was one of the most powerful clans in the entire Multiverse.
Furthermore, any being capable of slaying a dragon was hailed as a Dragonslayer Hero!
Naturally, all clans in the Multiverse, aside from the Dragon Clan itself, took pride in slaying dragons.
The coming-of-age ceremony for the Behemoth Clan even involved killing a dragon of equal Power.
Therefore, it was not at all surprising that the intensely curious Elf Mages would develop a desire to study the Dragon Clan.
From Zhang Yi’s perspective, as long as no harm came to the Elf Dragons,
he had no problem with them taking a few scales and a bit of blood for research after they hatched.
Besides the fame gained from slaying a dragon,
the various Magic Materials that could be harvested from a dragon’s entire body
were another major incentive for the hunt.
A living dragon’s reputation certainly intimidated the Multiverse,
but a dead dragon—its body filled with materials that could be crafted into Semi-Divine Artifacts—was just as tantalizing!
These were all incredibly rare,
precious Magic Materials that couldn’t be obtained without a great stroke of luck!
And unlike Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala, who wanted to study the Elf Dragon’s physical structure to create new Transformation Spells,
the Blood Mage Ai Weiya wanted to study the Elf Dragon’s bloodline!
After all, while the Dragon Clan was strong, the Elf Clan was by no means weak.
And that was without even mentioning the Mage Profession!
"The Elf Dragons that hatch from these two eggs will be one male and one female."
"Once born, they will be able to reproduce naturally."
"Therefore, before they hatch, they must be incubated in a gentle, natural environment with High Magic Power."
"Place these two Elf Dragon Eggs at the Natural Ancient Tree.
During the day, they shall be bathed in the essence of the Natural Ancient Tree,
and at night, they shall receive the Moonlight of the Moon of Serenity."
Zhang Yi’s Oracle continued, adding these instructions.
He chose the Natural Ancient Tree instead of the Sun Holy Tree, which had already reached the Legendary Level,
because he considered the Power of the Natural Ancient Tree to be gentler.
The Sun Holy Tree, having already advanced to a Legendary Clan,
was still adapting to its new Power and studying the Sun Divine Position, making its energies a bit too volatile.
In theory,
this amount of Solar Power shouldn’t affect the incubating Elf Dragon Eggs.
But out of respect for the two Elf Dragon Eggs—acquired at the cost of the corpses of a 150,000-strong elite Vampire Army—
Zhang Yi subconsciously chose the safer option.
"As you command, My God!"
High Priest Shamiel immediately accepted the command.
In her mind, she was already planning the Elf Dragons’ incubation process according to Zhang Yi’s instructions.
In fact, what Zhang Yi didn’t know was that these two Elf Dragon Eggs—obtained in exchange for a 150,000-strong elite Vampire Army, two Vampire Counts, and three Eighth Level Blood Beasts—
possessed Talent and bloodlines of the absolute highest tier, even among all Elf Dragons!
That was why they would be born with the Power of a Legendary Clan!
Otherwise, a dragon hatched from an ordinary Dragon Egg would, at birth, only have Power comparable to that of a Low Transformation Demigod.
It would be impossible for them to be this powerful.
After all, a Legendary Clan could already contend with a Weak Divine Being.
Now that the matter of the two Elf Dragon Eggs was settled,
the grand ritual, fueled by the spoils of the entire Large Dark Plane, was reaching its conclusion.
Only three Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts were left to be offered!
As High Priest Shamiel composed herself, her expression becoming solemn once more,
she recited the final prayer.
"O, Supreme My God!"
"Our final offering to you are three Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts from the Vampire Clan!"
