The Era of Gods Chapter 207 – The New Course – Invading the Plane

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The New Course – Invading the Plane

The Fishman population simply tripled in size, with the total number increasing from over 27,000 to a staggering 84,000-plus.

And as the base number of Small Fishmen grows increasingly large, even without using Breeding Cards, their population growth rate will continue to accelerate.

In addition to that, the number of Wise Goblins has also seen a substantial increase due to his forceful intervention. Although they can’t reproduce as quickly as the Fishmen, with all kinds of breeding enhancements applied, their total number has reached around 8,000, surpassing that of the Supreme Naga. Taking everything together, excluding the Fire Elements from the Flame Divine Region and the Water Elements from the Water Divine Region, and the not-so-numerous Wind and Earth Elements from the Wind Elemental Divine Region and Earth Elemental Divine Region, the total number of Clan members in Lin Xiao’s God’s realm has now broken through the hundred-thousand mark.

Yes, the bonuses from Breeding Cards do not affect elemental creatures.

Not only are elements not truly alive, but the birth of elements isn’t a result of reproduction. They are formed from the convergence of elemental energies or split from other elements, and thus have nothing to do with reproduction.

Furthermore, Lin Xiao has traded a total of forty-three Divine Realm Cards of elements other than Fire, ranging from plain to Golden Mythical Quality, on the school’s internal trading platform, at the cost of eleven Mythical Quality cards.

He then combined these three types of Elemental Cards into three Ancient Quality Summoning Cards, each loaded into the three subsidiary Divine Realms surrounding the Main Divine Realm, namely the Water Element Domain, Air Element Domain, and Earth Element Domain.

All three cards are inferior to the Flame Melt Sea Card in quality and do not contain Elemental Lords, but each possesses a considerable number of tri-elemental creatures. There are even several Rank 6 super-large elements, with thousands of large, medium, and small elements that could barely support the structure of the three Elemental Divine Realms.

Moreover, owning the territories of the three Elemental Divine Realms, as their elemental populations increase to a certain level, Divine Autorities capable of birthing Lords will naturally form.

In other words, it won’t be long before the environments in these three Divine Realms are completely transformed by the elements into something akin to that of Elemental Planes, and their own Lords will emerge naturally. Unless Lin Xiao intervenes, the most likely contenders are the strongest of the super-large elements vying for supremacy.

Lin Xiao did not interfere in this process, allowing them to compete amongst themselves. The victor will receive a bit of his bestowed Divinity.

Well, the main reason was that he now only had two points of Divinity left. Over the past thirty years, he’d used up the rest, not employing the Creation Rubik’s Cube, but purely relying on his own power to erase their residual will and spiritual branding, completely refining these points of Divinity.

Moreover, not long ago, Lin Xiao spent two billion Faith values to fully condense those two uncoalesced points of Divinity. At this point, Lin Xiao had a total of fifteen points of Divinity, catapulting him to the top of the first year’s hierarchy.

“Hmm, I still need thirty more points of Divinity to catch up with that person!”

The higher his Divinity, the more Lin Xiao realized just how formidable Wu was during Summer Camp, managing to accumulate more than twenty points of Divinity in his first year—impressively strong.

The key is that Wu did not have a Creation Rubik’s Cube to cheat with, and had ground away each point of Divinity personally, which is quite frightening.

If it weren’t for his ability to cheat using the Creation Rubik’s Cube, Lin Xiao wouldn’t have the confidence to catch up.

By now, Lin Xiao had only two points of Divinity left to bestow upon his subordinates, one card slot remaining, and two five-star Mythical Quality cards. The resources he gained from Summer Camp were nearly depleted. Even the fragments of the Divine Kingdom from the God’s Tomb, which he acquired almost two months earlier, have been mostly merged. As the merging process accelerates, the size of his Main Divine Realm has grown from the initial eight kilometers in length and five kilometers in width to a vast rectangle of one hundred kilometers east to west and fifty kilometers north to south.

Beyond his Divine Realm, six subsidiary Divine Realms exist.

Initially, the Flame Divine Realm and Water Divine Realm were the largest, but now that all four elemental Realms have come into place, the sizes of the other Divine Realms have caught up. They all measure about ten kilometers square, each now larger than the Main Divine Realm was before he inherited Major General Keri’s legacy.

Lin Xiao predicts that after merging all remaining Divine Kingdom fragments, the entire Divine Realm’s size can increase by about a third more.

This additional space, he plans to allocate entirely to the two subsidiary Divine Realms above and below.

The Main Divine Realm and the four Elemental Divine Realms currently have sufficient space. One could say that no one in high school could match the size of his Divine Realm, with the exception of a few top elites in their third year. For the majority of third-year students, their Divine Realm’s size at this stage isn’t as large as his, so his is adequately sufficient.

He intends to expand the space above, which he has named Heaven, and the space below, which he has named the Netherworld.

The Main Divine Realm will be where all his Clan members live, the upper realm of Heaven will house his Church to govern the entire Divine Realm.

The lower Netherworld will accommodate entities not suited for other Divine Realm spaces, such as captured enemies, Demons, and Undead subordinates, serving as the domain for exile and a collective of the tainted and sullied.

Such immense power filled Lin Xiao with confidence for the upcoming battle.

However…

“You’re in luck, this time you’re up against projections of seniors from the previous session, that is, the projections of the elite seniors when they were in their second year. You’ll receive personal guidance from these seniors, so take the opportunity to seek their advice!”

The words of the counselor Zhu Hong left everyone dumbfounded.

“What the hell, projections of the senior year coming down personally?”

Indeed, that was the literal interpretation, and Lin Xiao looked up as a classmate beside him raised a hand to ask:

“Teacher, does this mean that this time, we are facing a virtual projection of our seniors from the elite class when they were in their junior year?”

The counselor turned their head to reveal a smile that seemed somewhat frightening to them:

“That’s right; your homeroom teacher has already spoken with the homeroom teacher of the elite senior class. For this joint event between the two grades, you will be able to witness the grace of your predecessors, and…”

She displayed an odd expression on her face:

“There’s even a surprise this time. Lucky ones will receive personal mentorship from two seniors who are among the top ten on the prestigious list for the high school division. An opportunity like this is rare!”

“I honestly don’t want to experience the seniors’ grace!”

Lin Xiao curled his lips and casually opened the campus network to check the information of the elite senior class, especially those two top ten seniors mentioned by the counselor. His mouth agape, he showed a look of shock. Xiong Chumo: Female, class president of the elite senior class at Radiance Second Middle School, second-in-command on the Talent Leaderboard.

Cao Yichen: Male, vice-class president of the elite senior class at Radiance Second Middle School, second-in-command on the Exceptional Leaderboard. “Wow, two great gods indeed!”

Whether it was the Talent Leaderboard or the Exceptional Leaderboard, to students like them who couldn’t even make it onto the Outstanding Leaderboard, these opponents were invincible. This sort of luck…

“Can we opt out…”

At this moment, the counselor added:

“Considering the difficulty of this major class and the strength of the two seniors, this session will be conducted in the form of a simulation battle. Your Divine Realms will be projected onto a virtual plane, where you will be provided basic points to set up defenses, and then you will clash with the seniors’ projected Divine Realms. The seniors will only demonstrate between fifty to eighty percent of their strength. Any students who match with the two seniors will pass if they receive approval from them.”

Lin Xiao could feel that the students around him who might match with the two seniors all breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then it was okay. Going all out in a real fight could lead to significant damage to one’s Divine Realm, especially since it was said that the seniors from the previous year were very strong, even at their junior stage. If the losses were too substantial, it would be painful even with ample time to recover.

Addressing this worrisome issue seemed secondary to the chance of interacting with the two super-seniors.

If defeating two candidates on the Talent and Exceptional Leaderboards was out of the question, merely earning their approval seemed much more feasible. Moreover, if the strength disparity was too great, by speaking kindly with the seniors and asking for mercy, maybe one could muddle through.

“For this main class, all who pass will receive a Divinity Card and two Divine Realm Cards. The ten with the highest evaluations will each receive a Standard Lightning Spire Construction Drawing. Additionally, those who earn an excellent evaluation from the two seniors will gain four completed Lightning Spires, in addition to the existing rewards.”

“Now, you can go prepare. The invasion begins in five days.”

The students all entered their Divine Realms with astonishment, soon leaving only the homeroom teacher and the counselor’s figures in the classroom.

Jin Sisi extended her hand, and a screen of light popped open before her, displaying the virtual avatars of all the students in the class. Each avatar was surrounded by a ring of light in different colors: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Her gaze swept over the avatars encircled by gold in the center, finally settling on two and tapping them lightly.

The counselor Zhu Hong, who was as large as a small giant, looked at the avatar representing Lin Xiao and asked:

“Is it okay to put such a heavy burden on him…”

She stopped mid-sentence, her face taking on a bizarre look as Jin Sisi, without expression, lit up each of the dozen or so gold-tier students’ avatars in the center. She then pulled over the avatar of a beautiful young girl with a cold temperament, wearing a half-made jade mask.

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

Jin Sisi, as if explaining to herself, said:

“I said that lucky ones would receive guidance from the two seniors, but I didn’t say there would only be two lucky ones.”

Zhu Hong internally offered a second of silence for these dozen or so students who were rated as gold-tier, then raised a finger as thick as a child’s arm:

“You’re the boss; you decide.”

Inside the Divine Realm, Lin Xiao first reviewed the principles of the so-called simulated invasion and quickly gathered all the Clan members ready for combat, including the Wise Goblins.

This was a simulated projection battle, meaning that he would dispatch the selected Clan members to a plane. Each person would have a certain number of creation points to alter the plane’s terrain or build various structures for defense, clashing with the plane owned by the matched senior’s projection..
