"I wonder if the Wind Dragon God will be grateful to me if he finds out that there are suddenly five more remains of his seventh-generation descendants."
Jiang Yan looked at the six undead dragons lined up in front of him, radiating a powerful aura, and thought with a wicked sense of amusement.
— Five of them are produced by the Undead Replication Field.
"I never imagined that even the bloodline of a true god could be replicated. No wonder it was the third emperor's most prized creation. What a pity..."
Jiang Yan shook his head inwardly.
No wonder even the Lord of the Abyss had to deal with him personally. If he were allowed to continue his machinations for a few more eras, who knows what terrifying things he might create.
After a moment of reflection, Jiang Yan did not rush to throw the remains of these high-ranking dragon gods into the Necromancer's racecourse to continue exploiting the bug.
This is a rare find!
The direct bloodline of the true god is probably not many even in the entire high-level dragon tomb, so its value must be maximized.
I've just managed to collect enough Demon God Hearts from this trial to upgrade the replication field. I'll synthesize them after it reaches the advanced level.
After randomly selecting a lucky dwarf team and entrusting them with the upgrade task, Jiang Yan called for Losia to teleport to the square in the Angel District.
At this moment, 3,000 warriors, each wielding a heavy hammer and clad in thick silver armor, were lined up in neat rows to receive the inspection.
It was the Holy Knight who returned after activating the heart of the Holy Knight.
They slammed their hammers forward and bowed deeply.
"I am willing to serve you, my lord."
"Get up."
Jiang Yan looked at these soldiers who had become more mature.
Their abilities—Holy Light Baptism, Aura of Courage, Divine Strike, and the ultimate power "Holy Spirit"—have all been unlocked, and their strength has advanced to the level of a mid-level god.
"You have found the true meaning of Holy Light in the mortal world and practiced the code of knighthood. I have heard the sincere praise of believers and the fearful cries of the vile. You are worthy of the name of paladins. Now, in the name of the Holy Lord of Light, I declare that you are permitted to graduate from the Hall of Glory."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan held the Book of Creation in his hands, and badges formed from the power of holy light appeared on the chests of each warrior.
It consumed only a tiny amount of energy and had no special effect, but it represented supreme glory.
"We are willing to give everything to uphold our faith!"
The usually unambitious paladins were now filled with fervor. Their hands trembled slightly as they carefully constructed dozens of layers of miniature magical shields to protect their badges.
"At the same time, I will also grant you even greater power."
Jiang Yan activated his innate ability with a thought.
[Ultimate Ascension Successfully Activated!]
Holy Light Baptism → Praise of the Holy Angels: Temporarily summons six healing angels from Heaven. They cannot directly participate in combat, but can continuously cast healing holy light spells. This skill cannot be stacked.
Aura of Courage → Paladin's Protection: Loyal paladins will never allow their comrades to die before them. When paladins are present in the army, they will activate an aura of protection to safeguard their comrades, and 80% of the damage taken by each warrior will be shared by all paladins.
Holy Strike → Desperate Counterattack: When a paladin faces certain death, they will temporarily retain a sliver of life and burn all their power to unleash a strike ten times stronger. Using this will result in immediate death.
Holy Spirit → Holy Light Avatar: The noble will of the Paladin resonates with the laws of Holy Light. When the Holy Light Avatar is activated, all attributes are greatly enhanced, and a Law Avatar will be formed, lasting for 10 minutes. During this period, the Law Avatar will release an additional time when a non-ultimate ability skill is used.
"As expected of a born mythical-level unit."
Jiang Yan felt a slight sense of surprise.
The number of healing angels has always been a headache for him.
The summoning of angels through the Gates of Heaven is not stable. So far, out of the 12,000 angels summoned, fewer than 400 are healing angels.
While this problem could be solved by increasing the base number, that would consume too much faith power.
Currently, both using the Book of Genesis and building a divine kingdom require a vast amount of faith power. He has a premonition that the "divine kingdom construction blueprint" included in the advancement rewards will definitely require a massive amount of faith power and death essence, and he must accumulate a sufficient amount in advance.
Having this ability now has perfectly solved the problem.
It's just unclear what will happen if the number of paladins increases and all the healing angels in Heaven are summoned.
Especially after activating the ultimate ability, it releases twice the power, with twelve healing angels appearing at once. I wonder if Heaven's reserves are enough.
As for the third ability, there's not much to say. Its offensive capabilities can't possibly compare to those of angels of the same level; it's better than nothing, really.
The second ability is quite interesting; it seems somewhat similar to the Iron Wall Giant under the "God of War," but its effect is more powerful.
All paladins share 80% of the damage. As long as they don't die, even a super-ranked demon would find it difficult to instantly kill the other warriors they are protecting.
"It seems we need to properly arm these holy knights."
The equipment they were wearing was probably just the most ordinary epic-level gear.
However, since it was given away for free without costing any money, it's not fair to be too demanding.
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then opened the exclusive customer service of the First Chamber of Commerce in his friend list.
"Are you there?"
"I am here, Your Excellency. Please give your orders."
The other party seemed to be online 24/7 and replied immediately.
Do you sell a complete set of legendary-grade protective gear?
"Yes, but I don't know if you're buying it for yourself or for your subordinates?"
Is there any difference?
"If you are using it yourself, I recommend purchasing a True God's Relic with 10 or more layers of enchantment. If you are using it to arm your subordinates, I recommend purchasing standard equipment with around 6 layers of enchantment."
What are the prices respectively?
"The former generally starts at 10 billion soul crystals, while the latter complete set costs around 200 million soul crystals."
Two hundred million... 3,000 sets would be 600 billion, and after a 20% discount, it would be 480 billion.
Jiang Yan thought to himself that the price wasn't too expensive.
In his previous life, he would spend around 2 million Soul Crystals to buy a perfect set of equipment, and tens of millions for a complete epic set.
As for legendary items, in addition to the material requirements, they also require the joint crafting of a master craftsman and a god-level enchanter, and only a very few major powers have them in stock.
But this money...
"I need three thousand sets, can I buy them on credit?" Jiang Yan asked tentatively.
"Your Excellency... are you serious?"
Seemingly taken aback by Jiang Yan's words, even someone with such professional competence showed a slight emotional fluctuation.
"Ahem... Just kidding, what do you guys think this is worth?"
Jiang Yan opened his divine kingdom and, with a heavy heart, dug out a floor tile from the temple he had obtained from the ruins of the previous Holy Lord and passed it over.
Although he didn't know what material it was, he figured that anything placed in the Land of Origin must be of high quality.
A moment later.
"Hephaestus-grade synthetic material! Your Excellency, are you sure you want to sell this level of material?"
"How much?"
"1 million Soul Crystals per gram".
"Only this much... Wait, gram?!"
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the countless floor tiles in the temple.
