With the return of Ye Xi and the others, the spoils of this trip have been fully compiled.
The saying "If you don't make a sale for a year, you can live off it for a year" is absolutely true for Ye Chen.
After arriving on the wasteland planet, there were only two truly large-scale operations, but the gains from those two operations far exceeded the total annual income of other lords.
Both the Temple of Ares and this trip to the Dark Plains brought Ye Chen huge benefits.
"My lord, this was discovered by the landmen underground in the Dark Plains during the final evacuation. Oros said it's a relic of Caroline, the Goddess of Life of the planet Kalan!" Ye Xi said, handing a string of grass-woven bracelets to Ye Chen. The immense life force faintly flowing on them was breathtaking.
"Caroline's is a bracelet?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bracelet. It was a divine artifact similar to the Spear of Ares, but its power was far inferior, and it only had the effect of increasing life energy.
However, this bracelet can be used to create a legacy stele, but it seems that only his Silver Moon Elf can use a legacy stele with the life attribute.
"Give it to Simeng! Her familiar is also an elf!" Jian Mengyi immediately liked the bracelet when she saw it, but she also felt the life force on it, which was very compatible with the elf race. It would be a waste to give it to her.
"That's true, she got off too easy!" Ye Chen scoffed. So much divinity, wouldn't it be better to convert it into Primordial Points? Oh well, I'll give it to that girl. After all, she's a worker for me.
"You can tidy up the rest first, I'll go check this thing!" Ye Chen said, handing the bracelet to Si Meng and holding another seven-colored glass ball.
This is a legacy item given to him by Harriet. The divine power within it is insufficient to forge the legacy stele, so he plans to absorb the divine power within and convert it all into Primordial Points.
“Okay!” Jian Mengyi nodded, and without saying much, she started tidying up on her own.
Ye Chen returned to the Lord's Mansion with the seven-colored glass ball, gradually drawing out its divinity and introducing it into his body. He then used his Lord's talent to convert it into Primordial Points.
With his lordly talent at work, this time the divinity was not used to strengthen his body, but instead flowed entirely into the Seed of Hope, where it was continuously refined and transformed into corresponding Primordial Points.
Ultimately, the divinity within the seven-colored glass sphere dissipated, but it also brought Ye Chen a full twenty Primordial Points.
"So many? That should be enough, right?" Ye Chen thought, then walked out of the lord's mansion and headed towards the hero's altar.
He had invested his last one Primordial Point into the Hero Altar, but it didn't make a ripple. Now that he had twenty Primordial Points, that should be enough.
Arriving at the Hero Altar, Ye Chen's fingertips once again emitted a wild and untamed aura, and a large amount of primordial energy poured into the Hero Altar, causing the entire altar's aura to change.
"Boom~~~" Soon, a series of booming sounds began to come from the Hero Altar, and the originally Western-style altar building gradually changed towards an Eastern style.
The ornate patterns gradually faded, leaving only simple lines, yet they seemed to contain some profound truths of the universe.
In the end, Ye Chen spent a full fourteen Primordial Points to fully enlighten the Hero Altar, but what appeared before him was merely a simple stone temple with a wordless stele inside.
"This? It's too plain, isn't it? Is it too late to return it?" Ye Chen stared blankly at the blank stele in front of him, speechless, but still diligently checked the attributes of the Hero Altar in his mind.
Name: Valhalla
Synopsis: A strange building disturbed by unknown energy, possessing the power to summon ancient spirits.
Effect 1: There is a small chance that the deceased members of the clan within the territory will be absorbed by the Hall of Heroes and transformed into heroic spirits. After being worshipped, they can gradually grow stronger and have the responsibility of protecting the territory.
Effect 2: With a sense of belonging and a desire to return to one's roots, the loyalty of the territory's inhabitants increases by 10 points, and the rate of increase is increased by 100%.
Effect 3: Territory members can experience the legacy of heroes through the Hall of Heroes and refine their own attributes.
Effect 4: The Hall of Heroes itself will continue to grow as the number and strength of the recorded Heroes increase.
"What kind of building is this? I feel like some kind of power is calling to me?" Before Ye Chen could even say "Holy crap" after seeing the attributes of the Hall of Heroes, he heard Oros's voice in his ear.
Turning my head, I saw a huge dragon skull standing at the entrance, curiously watching everything in Valhalla.
"This? This is the Hall of Heroes? Are you going to come in and become a hero?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what the Hall of Heroes was all about.
Valhalla has the ability to transform deceased members of the clan into heroic spirits, and since Oros is an undead creature, he is already dead, so he can directly reside in Valhalla.
"Valhalla? Heroes? What's that?" Oros asked in confusion.
"Well, heroic spirits are like deceased sages, right? They sacrificed their lives and souls for the continuation of their people, and ultimately did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but could only be worshipped by their descendants, thus becoming heroic spirits!" Ye Chen thought for a moment and explained.
Upon closer reflection, heroic spirits are indeed quite similar to the incense offerings in mythology.
It is said that in the primordial world, there were only two possible outcomes for those who died: their souls were scattered or they were worshipped as gods. Later, Houtu established the cycle of reincarnation, which gave everyone the opportunity to be reincarnated.
The spirits of heroes are a kind of deification achieved through incense offerings. After death, people continue to receive incense offerings and their consciousness and soul are re-formed. However, this kind of rebirth is merely the restoration of consciousness and is not a true resurrection, nor can it enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Legend has it that the Hall of Heroes of the human race is inhabited by the spirits of many heroes who made great contributions to mankind, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Suiren, and Cangjie.
There's no way around it; the lifespan of humans is too short. These sages made tremendous contributions to the development of humanity, and it would be a great pity for them to enter the cycle of reincarnation like this. It's difficult to calculate their merits in the underworld, and they might be oppressed in their next life.
They might as well be sent directly to Valhalla, where they can enjoy the offerings of the gods forever, their spirits enduring.
"Heroic Spirit? Valhalla? I have no descendants, and I am not suitable to become a Heroic Spirit yet!" After listening to Ye Chen's words, Oros said thoughtfully, then turned around and returned to his residence.
Watching Oros's departing figure, Ye Chen shrugged helplessly. Oros was a Western dragon, and indeed, he was not suitable to reside in the Hall of Heroes.
"However, if even the Hall of Heroes is included, will they eventually introduce the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
"Should we reincarnate it as an Eastern dragon?"
