[Your subordinate, Xina, has conquered Xuanbing City, gaining 200 Reputation, 5 million Experience, and 1 million Soul Crystals.]
You have captured Chongshan City...
[You have defeated the Mountain God and obtained 1 Diamond Advancement Token and 1 Demigod Advancement Contract.]
The Duchy of Hilank is now your faith's homeland; you can view it in the category panel.
You have reached Diamond Tier 7.
Back in Holy Spirit City, Jiang Yan pondered as he perused the prompts from various realms.
His original plan was to infiltrate gradually.
With angels and various other military units such as preachers and light-spreaders, no god can rival him.
Unexpectedly, the days of free baptisms, the display of miracles, and his personal intervention—at the enormous cost of 500,000 Death Essence—were less effective than the undead army taking a stroll.
After the fall of Chongshan City, under the influence of the "Book of Time," King Xilank issued a statement overnight, ordering the demolition of all the former sites of the Seven Temples and declaring that the Holy Lord of Light was the only god of the duchy.
Furthermore, wealthy people in various cities spontaneously contributed money to build branch temples of the Holy Light Church.
Even the dwarf squad, who were prepared to work overtime, were forced to halt their operation and were granted their longest vacation since joining Holy Spirit City—a full 72 hours.
After the undead appeared, everything went incredibly smoothly.
This made Jiang Yan realize that he had fallen into a misconception.
Why must we always try diplomacy first and then resort to force?
You can simply let the dead pave the way and then receive faith.
After all, most people only understand the value of the Holy Light after experiencing the shadow of death.
After clarifying his direction, Jiang Yan felt his mind became clearer and he had a plan for his next move.
However, right now, the most important thing is to take stock of the spoils.
He focused his attention on the reward for killing the Mountain God.
After a moment's thought, without rushing to extract the information, he opened the interdimensional chat channel, removed one person from the blacklist, and edited a message in the temporary private chat window:
Do you need a Diamond Upgrade Token?
【want! 】
Seeing the instant reply, Jiang Yan carefully considered sending another message.
[One legendary blueprint + one epic blueprint.]
This price isn't unreasonable; it's only about 40% above the market price, which is negligible given the other party's financial resources.
[I have no problem with epic-level blueprints, but I've used up all the legendary ones. Could I pay you back in nine months when real-world trading is enabled?]
"Let's talk about it later. I'm going to take a shower now."
Seeing the other party's reply, Jiang Yan decisively ended the chat.
Want to buy on credit?
Are you kidding me? Who does she think she is, the Holy Lord of Light?
Besides, what difference would he make if he waited nine months?
Turning his attention back to the reward, Jiang Yan silently chose to refuse to withdraw it.
Lord Skill: Commands are subject to certain restrictions!
Since we can't exchange them, we can only try our luck.
A silhouette of time appeared in the distance, and the God of Chongshan was once again pierced through his body by the Final Spirit Arrow Formation. Two shimmering treasures appeared on the spot.
[You have obtained 1 Legendary Blueprint and 1 Demigod Advancement Contract.]
He said he was quite confident in his luck!
Jiang Yan was overjoyed and decided to take advantage of today's divine opportunity.
A small, white-furred, dog-like corpse appeared at the spot.
[Ding! You have obtained a Bronze-level Beast Corpse*1]
Jiang Yan's lips twitched slightly.
"Hey, Your Majesty, it seems you've drawn a cute little thing."
Sheena, standing to the side, chuckled with interest.
She rushed back specifically to witness the arrival of her new companion.
Similarly, Anna and Flora also rushed back.
"Ahem...Indeed, she's quite cute, at least."
Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly and casually opened the legendary blueprint he had obtained.
You have obtained the legendary building blueprint, Holy Light Tribunal.
Huh, it's a building based on the Holy Light element.
Jiang Yan stared intently at it.
The Court of Light: One of the mid-level auxiliary buildings in Heaven. It can recruit ascetics and judges, and comes with one Mythical-level troop, the Court of Light Director, and two Deputy Directors. Construction requires 20,000 Soul Crystals and takes 28 days.
Not bad. Judging from the name, these seem to be some troops responsible for judging heretics. It just so happens that there are still some remnants of the Seven Great Temples in Xilank.
I was worried that the preachers and those who spread the holy light were too gentle, and that there weren't enough angels, but now I can rest assured.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Yan canceled the dwarf team's vacation and ordered them to expedite the construction of the tribunal.
After giving the order, he looked at the resource panel.
The number of Soul Crystals has exceeded ten million, but the problem is that the faith power of other lords has been exhausted, and the consumption rate has been greatly reduced.
The more than 2 million soul crystals obtained from clearing the Misty Valley have not yet been traded.
However, you can never have too much of this stuff. Not to mention anything else, when he advances to godhood and opens up a divine kingdom with his unique first-class talent, the number of soul crystals he needs will be astronomical. In his previous life, even his A-level speed only consumed a full 8 million to reach his limit.
After casually replenishing the Soul Crystals in the trading channel to enough for upgrading the Gate of Heaven, Jiang Yan deliberately scraped some ashes from the Bone Dragon to wipe his hands, took a deep breath, and gripped the Cataclysm, silently chanting:
"In my name, I grant you permission to awaken from your slumber!"
Necropolis, activate!
An endless silence and darkness descended, and Jiang Yan felt his consciousness once again traverse endless space, arriving in that dim and solemn hall.
But this time, before he could properly examine the various heroic spirits in the Necropolis, a snow-white skeleton soldier suddenly stood up from some corner and walked straight toward the location of his consciousness.
Jiang Yan examined it closely. The slender bones, smooth head, and blank expression made it look like the most basic kind of skeleton soldier.
No, why would such low-level life forms exist in the Necropolis?
This is a full 10 million Death Essence, enough to kill Starfire God 20 times over! Don't get me into trouble!
But things didn't go as planned; the eerie green light representing the choice seemed to be drawn directly toward the skull.
boom!
After a slight dizziness, when Jiang Yan came to his senses, the scene had returned to Holy Spirit City.
A slender skeleton gracefully bowed: "In response to your call, Your Majesty."
"Get up!" Jiang Yan said weakly.
Forget it, I see skeletons like you every day, better not to respond... Wait!
The skeleton can talk?
Jiang Yan suddenly looked up and finally realized something was wrong.
Analia and Floria, standing to the side, had already gripped the Holy Flame Longsword tightly in their hands, and had even mobilized the power of the Holy Light Law and the Law of Ritual, as if facing a formidable enemy.
On the other side, Sheena was excited and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, the ruler of the Abyss of the Dead, the master of the mysteries of death, the manipulator of the life and death of the gods, the legendary God of Death, welcome to your descent."
"Death?" Jiang Yan was stunned.
The skeleton snapped its fingers lightly, and a black cloak and a chilling scythe appeared in the void.
It raised its head, and a deep red flame suddenly ignited in its eye sockets.
"We meet again, Your Majesty."
