The Era of Gods

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Single-handedly Overpowering the Base

Tlie Fishmen’s numbers needn’t even be mentioned, for they directly tripled, increasing from over twenty-seven thousand to a staggering eighty-four thousand plus.

Furthermore, with the constantly growing base number of Small Fishmen, their rate of increase would grow faster and faster, even without the use of the Breeding Card.

Besides that, the number of Wise Goblins also saw a significant increase due to his forceful intervention. Although Wise Goblins couldn’t match the Fishmen in terms of reclusiveness and breeding capabilities, the total numbers still reached around eight thousand with all the reproduction bonuses added, surpassing the Supreme Naga.

Putting it all together, aside from the Fire Elementals of the Flame Divine Region and the Water Elementals of the Water Divine Region, and the few Wind and Earth Elementals of the Wind Elemental Divine Region and the Earth Elemental Divine Region, the total number of Clan members within Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm had now broken through the one hundred thousand mark.

Yes, the bonus from the Breeding Card does not work on elemental creatures. Elements aren’t truly living beings, and their birth is not through reproduction, but rather from the congregating of elemental energies forming spontaneously, or through elemental division, which is unrelated to reproduction.

Additionally, Lin Xiao used eleven Mythical Quality cards on the school’s internal trading platform, trading for a total of forty-three Elemental cards of the other three types, aside from Fire, the grades of which ranged from whiteboard to Golden Mythical Quality.

He then fused these three types of Elemental cards into three Ancient Quality Summoning Cards, each installed in one of the three subordinate divine domains surrounding his Main Divine Realm, namely the Water Elemental Divine Realm, the Air Elemental Divine Realm, and the Earth Elemental Divine Realm.

These three cards, although inferior to the Flame Melt Sea Card which contained no Elemental Lords, each had a considerable number of tri- elementals within, including several super large Elementals of Rank 6 strength, and thousands of other large, medium, and small Elementals, which can barely support the framework of the three Elemental Divine Realms.

Moreover, with the territories of the three Elemental Divine Realms in place, as long as the number of Elementals within each realm increases to a certain extent, authority sufficient to birth a Lord will naturally coalesce.

In other words, as the environment within the three Divine Realms is completely transformed by the Elementals into something similar to their Elemental Planes, Lords will automatically be born. As for which specific individuals they will be unless Lin Xiao intervenes, under normal circumstances, it will be the strongest of the super large Elementals that will emerge from competition.

Lm Xiao didn’t interfere with this process, letting them compete among themselves, with the victor receiving a small gift of his Divinity.

Well, the main reason was that he had only two points of Divinity left. Over the course of these thirty years, he had used up his Divinity, not resorting to the Creation Rubik’s Cube but rather relying on grinding away their residual wills and spiritual Brandings completely by himself, refining these few points of Divinity.

Moreover, not long ago, Lin Xiao expended two hundred million Faith Value to fully condense those two unformed points of Divinity, and Lin Xiao now possessed a full fifteen points of Divinity, catching up to the first tier of his class.

“Hmm, I still need thirty more points of Divinity to catch up to that person!” The greater his Divinity, the more Lin Xiao realized the formidable nature of Wu someone whom he had encountered at Summer Camp. To have accumulated over twenty points of Divinity in just the first year of high school was too strong.

The key point was that the person didn’t have the Creation Rubik’s Cube as a cheat, and had eradicated each point of divinity on their own, which was quite terrifying.

If it weren’t for the use of the Creation Rubik’s Cube as a cheat, he truly wouldn’t have the confidence to catch up.

As a result, Lin Xiao now had only two points of divinity left to bestow upon his subordinates, one slot remaining, and two Mythical Quality Five-Star cards left. The resources acquired from Summer Camp were nearly exhausted.

Even the Divine Kingdom fragments from the God’s Tomb, which he had obtained almost two months ago, had been mostly integrated. The rate of fusion accelerated as time went on. By now, his Main Divine Realm had grown from its original size of eight kilometers long east to west and five kilometers wide north to south, to an immense rectangular realm one hundred kilometers long and fifty kilometers wide.

Beyond that, his realm had an additional six subordinate divine domains.

Originally, the Fire Elemental and Water Elemental Divine Realms were the largest, but now with all four Elements in place, the size of the rest of the realms has caught up, each now about ten kilometers square, a large Divine Domain Space, larger even than his Main Divine Realm before acquiring Major General Keri’s legacy.

Lm Xiao anticipated that after fusing all remaining Divine Kingdom fragments, the overall Divine Realm’s space could increase by about one-third more.

He planned to use this additional space exclusively to expand the two subordinate Divine Realms above and below.

The Mam Divine Realm and the four Elemental Divine Realms have sufficient space now. Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm size is unsurpassed at the high school tier, except by a few top-tier seniors. The size of the Divine Realm of the vast majority of third-year students cannot match his at the current stage; it’s more than sufficient.

He plans to expand the upper Realm which he named Heaven Divine Realm Space and the lower one named Netherworld. The upper Heavenly Divine Realm Space was meant to accommodate his Church, ruling over the entire Divine Realm.

The Netherworld would house beings unsuitable for other realms, like captured enemies, Demons, Undead subordinates, etc.-effectively a place of exile, a gathering place for all that was tainted within the Divine Realm.

With such formidable power, Lin Xiao felt highly confident about the upcoming battles.

However…

You re in luck, this time you’ll be facing the projections of your seniors from the previous session, the current elite Class of third-year students and their second-year selves. During this event, you’ll receive personal guidance right from the seniors themselves. Students, seize this opportunity to consult with your seniors!” Instructor Zhu Hong’s announcement left everyone dumbfounded.

“What the heck, projections of the seniors coming personally?”

Literally interpreted, that seemed to be the case. Lin Xiao raised his head, and a classmate next to him raised a hand to ask:

“Teacher, do you mean that this time we need to face the true projections of the senior elite class when they were juniors?”

The counselor turned around with a smile that seemed somewhat terrifying to them:

“That’s right, your homeroom teacher has already spoken with the senior elite class homeroom teacher. This time, by linking the two grades, you’ll get to witness the elegances of the previous cohort’s seniors. Plus…”

She revealed a strange expression on her face:

“There’s a surprise egg this time. Lucky ones will get personal guidance from two seniors in the top ten of the high school senior rankings. Opportunities like this don’t come often!”

“I don’t actually want to see the seniors’ elegances!”

Lin Xiao curled his lip and casually opened the campus network to check the information of the senior elite class, especially those two seniors in the top ten of the rankings mentioned by the counselor. He quickly opened his mouth in shock.

Xiong Chumo: Female, class president of the senior elite class at Radiance Second High, ranked on the Sublist of Geniuses.

Cao Yichen: Male, vice president of the senior elite class at Radiance Second High, ranked on the Sublist of Peerless.

“Wow, two big gods!”

Whether it’s the Sublist of Geniuses or the Sublist of Peerless, to them, who couldn’t even make it onto the List of Outstanding Students, it was an unmatched opposition. This kind of luck…

“Can I not have it…”

At this moment, the counselor added:

“Considering the difficulty of this major class and the strength of the two seniors, this time the class will take the form of a simulation battle. You’ll project your Divine Realms into a virtual plane, set up defenses with basic points, and engage in battle with the projected Divine Realms of the seniors. Meanwhile, the two seniors will only display between fifty to eighty percent of their strength, and any student who matches with them will be considered to pass if they gain the seniors’ recognition.”

Lin Xiao could feel that the classmates around him who might match with the two seniors all breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then it was okay. A real battle would cause enormous damage to the Divine Realm, especially since the seniors of the previous cohort were said to be very strong—even during their junior phase, they were quite formidable. If the damage were too great, even with ample recovery time, it wouldn’t be pleasant.

After addressing this worrisome issue, the presence of the two super seniors seemed like a minor problem.

Defeating the students ranked on the Sublist of Geniuses and Peerless seemed like an impossible tall tale, but just getting their recognition seemed much more manageable.

Besides, if the difference in strength were really too great, they could talk to the seniors and ask for leniency. Maybe they could muddle through.

“For this class, all who pass will receive one Divinity Card and two Divine Realm Cards; the top ten with the highest evaluations will each receive a Standard Lightning Tower Construction Drawing. The lucky individuals who pass the evaluation by the two seniors will gain, in addition to the existing rewards, four already constructed Lightning Towers.”

Alright, you can now go prepare. The invasion starts in five days.”

Everyone licked their tongues and entered their Divine Realms, and soon the classroom was left with only the figures of the homeroom teacher and the counselor.

Jin Sisi stretched her hand, and a screen automatically popped up in front of her, displaying the virtual avatars of all the students in the class. Each avatar was bordered by a light ring of different colors: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Her eyes swept over the central ring of Gold avatars, finally resting on two of them, and she pointed virtually.

The counselor Zhu Hong, who was like a little giant, saw the avatar

representing Lin Xiao and asked:

“Are you sure about placing such a heavy burden on him…”

But before she could finish, she stopped and stared at Jin Sisi with a peculiar look. Jin Sisi’s expressionless face lit up the Gold light rings around the avatars of a dozen or so students, and then she pulled over the avatar of a beautiful girl wearing a half jade mask and exuding a stern aura.

Zhu Hong’s mouth twitched. She wanted to say something but held back.

Jin Sisi seemed to notice and muttered as if explaining:

“I said there would be lucky ones who would get guidance from two seniors, but

I didn’t say there would only be two lucky ones.”

Zhu Hong mourned for the dozen students rated as Gold Tier for a second and raised her arm, as thick as a child’s, giving a thumbs-up:

“You’re the boss, so it’s your call.”

In his Divine Realm, Lin Xiao first reviewed the principles of the so-called simulation invasion and quickly gathered all possible combat Clan members, including the Wise Goblins.

This time was a simulated projection battle, meaning that he would project the Clan members chosen for battle onto a plane, and then each person would have a certain number of creation points to alter the terrain of the plane or build various defensive structures. They would engage with the projecting plane owned by the senior, and the victory condition was not only to kill all of the senior’s forces but also to break through the core at the center of the senior’s plane.
