The Era of Gods Chapter 418 – Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Do I Have to Go Up Too?

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Do I Have to Go Up Too?

This wave of harvest, I’m afraid most True Gods couldn’t possibly reach; for him, a Demigod, to obtain it was simply outrageous.

In other words, every predecessor who had become a Child of Gaia had once had an experience akin to his, which could be described as nothing short of miraculous.

No, to be precise, theirs were even more incredible; after all, those predecessors couldn’t cheat.

Then again, who knows? This experience is so preposterous that it normally wouldn’t be humanly possible; maybe they could cheat as well.

But no matter what, the benefits are already in hand, just quietly relishing it is all that’s needed.

Then came the third reward from the Will of Gaia, a Level 4 Ancient Treasure.

In that instant, he felt all the light in the world converging before him, quickly forming into a sphere of light. Soon, the sphere solidified, the light slowly dissipated, revealing within the sphere an ethereal… scale?

It was a scale formed by flowing light; upon closer inspection, there was a gleaming aura traveling back and forth above it, with seemingly shape-shifting transparent flowing light in crystal pans at both ends. But on careful observation, this light was made up of countless intricate runes.

Ancient Treasure: Balance Scale (Rank 4 Top-Level Ancient Treasure)

Passive Effect One: Equip to Divine Realm, all attributes +5 for all Clan members.

Passive Effect Two: Advantage of Balance, equip to Divine Realm, whenever allies are at a disadvantage in battle, all attributes gain between +2 to +20 points.

Passive Effect Three: Disadvantage of Balance, equip to Divine Realm, whenever enemies gain an advantage in battle, all attributes decrease by -2 to -20 points.

Active Effect Four: Judgment of Balance, carry out a judgment based on balance on a target; if the target violates the conditions of the judgment, they will be subject to the adjudication of The Lord of Balance.

Note: Judging each target requires a consumption of Divine Power based on equivalent strengths of both parties and the result of the judgment, a minimum of 10,000 units of Divine Power.

It was both unexpected and logical, the Balance Scale; it must have been awarded based on Lin Xiao’s choice of the Rule of Balance. He was the only one in the Main World who could fully harness the power of this top-tier Ancient Treasure.

With the Rule of Balance, his use of this Balance Scale would benefit from a huge effect enhancement.

However, the properties of this top-tier Ancient Treasure made it destined to be a passive treasure. The last active skill, not only restricted in use but also bound by substantial Divine Power consumption, wouldn’t be frequently used in the early stages, but would prove quite handy once he had Divine Power to spare in the future.

After securing the Ancient Treasure, Lin Xiao turned his attention to the fourth reward from the Will of Gaia.

As his gaze fell upon the reward, his pupils involuntarily shrank slightly, and the next second his face revealed an uncontrollable joy.

The fourth reward was an authority to adjust a species.

With the power of the Main World, select any Clan member to undergo adjustment in a manner of his choosing.

The meaning was clear, he could choose any of his Clan members to be strengthened by the Main World, just like that.

There was no need for choice, what choice was there to make? Of course, it was the Supreme Naga.

Now, his Supreme Naga were Sub-legendary species, just one step away from becoming true Legendary Beings. Normally, this step would require the consumption of vast amounts of Creation Energy and would pose considerable risks. But now, it could be achieved all at once, which filled Lin Xiao with indescribable joy. He excitedly took out the previously stored Dragon Bloodline Heritage System and the Dragon Language Magic System of the Dragon Clan.

While Lin Xiao had both the means and the Creation Energy needed for adjusting the Supreme Naga, the key issue was the integration of these two Dragon Clan systems would alert the Nine-faced Dragon God; he wasn’t confident he could withstand the wrath of so great a divine power.

Previously, integrating the Dragon Clan’s evolution system into the Naga bloodline had already incurred the wrath of the Nine-faced Dragon God, and further integration would only infuriate him more with each step, his wrath growing stronger. If he were to steal both remaining systems, he feared the Nine-faced Dragon God might directly strike the Main World.

Given the strength of the Nine-faced Dragon God, it was unlikely that anyone in the Main World could withstand this enraged entity, not even the powerful divine force guarding the Main World.

Of course, the Main World had its home field advantages, and with so many great beings present, the Nine-faced Dragon God surely couldn’t break through.

However, at that time, the Main World would surely investigate why the Nine-faced Dragon God was enraged. Lin Xiao was more worried that if the powers of the Main World could communicate with the Nine-faced Dragon God, it would spell trouble.

He did believe that the Main World wouldn’t compromise, but they would certainly look into the matter thoroughly. An internal investigation, with the cooperation of the Will of Gaia, could easily trace back to him. What would happen then was anyone’s guess.

Hence, though Lin Xiao had a sufficient amount of Creation Energy on hand, he had not dared to proceed with further adjustments, out of fear.

But now, there was no more fear; as a Child of Gaia who had achieved such merit, the Will of Gaia granted him a chance to adjust. It was equivalent to the Main World taking on all the trouble for him. Free help is not to be turned down; he promptly offered the two parts of the Dragon Clan system and silently wished for his request.

Right, he wasn’t thinking of having the Will of Gaia make the adjustments, but merely for it to sever the connection of these two Dragon Clan systems from the Nine-faced Dragon God and bear his wrath.

As for how to make the adjustments, he was prepared to take it upon himself.

After all, only he knew his belongings best; only by his hand could their potential be fully unleashed.

When he took out the two Dragon Clan power systems in the form of light spheres and handed them over, he distinctly felt the Main World… freeze imperceptibly for a moment, but there were no other reactions, and the two light spheres vanished.

Then, there was no more “then.” He was stationed in the World Star of the Main World, with no possibility of knowing what was happening outside the world, whether the Nine-faced Dragon God had gone berserk, he did not know. Only after a long time did the Will of Gaia hand over the two Dragon Clan power systems, now completely stripped of the Nine-faced Dragon God’s branding, to him.

After that, the fifth reward was summarily given to him, the one for his lead achievement—a chance that’s currently useless, but something that many powerful divine forces dream of.

Or to say, an authority, a promise.

This thing was of no use now; it could only come with the Main World’s expansion and conquest of the Totem civilization. In the distant future, once it could be thoroughly conquered, and as the Will of Gaia swallowed and integrated the will and civilization of totems, rewards would be distributed based on the conquest and all gains calculated by swarming the Totem civilization.

Naturally, the greater the harvest, the more valuable the leading role becomes, and reaching a certain point would grant the opportunity to take that leap.

Many powerhouses were so eager for this opportunity because they recognized the value of totem civilization and were therefore full of anticipation.

With the authority in hand, Lin Xiao hadn’t had the time to study anything before he immediately left the Starworld and reappeared at the Yan Huang No.5 Super War Fortress, where Xie Yufei was waiting for him. On seeing him re-emerge, she asked with a smile:

“How is it? Is the reward from Gaia generous?”

He didn’t hide the joy on his face and replied:

“Unprecedentedly generous!”

“You’ve made a killing!”

She patted his shoulder and said:

“Come with me, there’s more good stuff coming your way.”

“More good stuff?”

He asked curiously:

“What kind of good stuff?”

Xie Yufei’s lovely face was up close, her exquisitely beautiful features coupled with a valiant charm, incredibly enticing. She seemed oblivious to this as she smiled and said to him:

“It’s about rewarding based on contributions, of course. You’re an officer of this War Zone, and your arrival was a military operation. With such merits from establishing the Gaia Node, you are naturally in line for a military promotion.”

As she spoke, a look of frustration flickered across her delicate face:

“According to the standard military handbook, the impact of your action involves the entire Main World, not just this War Zone, so the commendation you’ll receive will be bigger than you expect. Don’t be shocked when you see it.”

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked:

“Bigger than expected? How big? Bigger than yours?”

His gaze involuntarily fell on her form-fitting uniform, which accentuated her voluptuous contours and alluring curves, and he unconsciously licked his lips.

She quickly noticed his lecherous gaze, furrowed her brows sharply, and slapped the back of his head, scolding:

“What are you looking at?”

“I just realized that you’re that kind of man too, little brother. You’ve let your sister down.”

Lin Xiao held his head, looking aggrieved:

“Sister, you’re too beautiful for me to resist.”

“Hmph, even so, you mustn’t.”

With that, she turned and left, her eyebrows raised and the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent, walking away.

He shrugged his shoulders and obediently followed her.

Subsequently, he was placed in a separate military camp within the fortress to await the results of discussions among the higher-ups of the War Zone.

According to Xie Yufei, they had not yet decided on his military rank and position, still debating over it, so he had to wait for a while.

She didn’t specify what the debate was about, but she assured him that whatever the outcome, he wouldn’t be shortchanged—everything he deserved would be accounted for.

This independent military camp was obviously designed for high-ranking officers, occupying tens of thousands of square meters within the fortress area, complete with a small training field, a squad for security, a dedicated driver, and so on, making him quite uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the fact that his military rank had not yet been determined, Lin Xiao hung a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door, instructed the guards not to interrupt him unless there was an urgent matter, and sank his consciousness back into his own Divine Realm.

As soon as he returned to the Divine Realm, his eyes were immediately drawn to the huge city within the Main Divine Realm that enveloped the entire Divine Domain Space.

It was a towering fortress city, consisting of a massive main city and eight slightly smaller satellite cities connected to form an enormous fortress complex.

The fortress was made of solid granite throughout, even the floors were layers of unknown thickness of granite. The outermost circle of the walls was more than fifty meters wide and hundreds of meters high, akin to a miniature mountain range. At the south end of the fortress, a large Mage team led by the Wise Goblins’ leader, Alemente, was casting spells in unison, raising the Earth and shaping the walls from mud, and then solidifying it with Mud to Stone Magic into a single piece wall structure.

Then, another group of Mages followed, engraving complex array patterns into the hard stone walls, reinforcing them with magic.

Yet, what shocked Lin Xiao most were the many Mage Towers distributed throughout the main fortress and the satellite fortresses of this complex.

Long ago, Lin Xiao had obtained the blueprints for Mage Towers and after many years of exploration, he was finally starting to build Mage Towers on a large scale… from the ground up.

Yes, besides a few Grand Magicians, most of the Mages
