[You have defeated the Wasteland Guardian and obtained 1 Gold Advancement Token]
[Your level has increased; you are currently at Bronze Tier 10. Please use a Silver Token to advance as soon as possible.]
[You have obtained a total of * Soul Crystals.]
[...]
Late on the ninth night, Jiang Yan returned to Holy Spirit City and tallied up the spoils of this expedition.
In addition to the rewards dropped by the gatekeepers, there are also a large number of Soul Crystals and Skeleton Soldiers.
This is thanks to Sheena's bravery.
She directly controlled the bandit king, replicating the tactics she used against the ogres, causing him to summon bandits in waves, allowing her to wait for them to tire themselves out, and thus gain a large number of skeleton soldiers to sweep across the wasteland.
It has to be said, the Netherworld is truly powerful. Jiang Yan sighed, it's just a pity that the monsters of the Abyss are not affected by the origin of the Netherworld and cannot control their bodies, otherwise, it's uncertain who the real calamity was back then.
With over 400 angels, more than 60,000 skeleton warriors, and three servants whose combat power rivals that of human demigods, they should be able to handle the first abyssal riot.
Jiang Yan carefully considered the matter.
For others, the first abyssal riot was more like a cutscene. But for him, who intended to protect the entire duchy, it meant facing a demigod-level abyssal monster head-on.
If I remember correctly, there will be Tier 1 Crawling Demons and Scythe Demons, Tier 2 Blood Demons and Cursed Priests, and a small number of Tier 3 Fusion Demons.
Of course, there's also the big boss, an abyssal demigod belonging to a strange species.
Compared to the strange species encountered in the Tower of Inheritance, the strange species are much more difficult to deal with. They often have special abilities derived from the abyss and can even deal with opponents far stronger than themselves.
In his previous life, he was too weak to intervene in the battle between the Abyss Demigod and the strongest in the Duchy, so he had no way of knowing about the other party's special abilities.
This is the only potential problem.
However, nothing is ever perfect. Jiang Yan didn't mind and took out the silver advancement token. It was always a good idea to improve his strength.
Once we become powerful enough to conquer more territory and acquire enough faith, we will no longer be afraid of being targeted by the will of another plane, and we can summon the archangel to descend and sweep away everything.
He silently recited the command, and the silver token instantly transformed into pure energy that merged into his body.
The source of power, originally the size of a pond, expanded continuously under this immense energy, eventually becoming a gently flowing stream that encircled the golden angel's heart.
You have successfully advanced to Silver Tier 1.
[From now on, the maximum level for your Familiar can be increased to Demigod.]
Huh?
Jiang Yan looked at the second system notification.
No wonder Anna killed so many abyssal monsters and Sheena killed two guardians without leveling up; it turns out they were limited by the lord's own level.
He suddenly remembered the introduction when Annalia appeared.
"This is an extremely powerful being among the angels. Due to your weakness, her power remains at the peak of the Gold level. Please be mindful of your pride and become stronger as soon as possible."
It turns out I really was the one who dragged the team down.
Jiang Yan sighed slightly, but this was good news. If he could break through to the Diamond rank or above in this battle, he would have a much better chance of dealing with the Abyss Demigod.
In addition, after advancing to the Silver rank, two new skills were awakened.
One is the Lord skill War Control, which grants temporary vision and perception of any allied unit.
One is a professional skill called "God's Hand," which consumes Death Essence to randomly collect an uncollected corpse in the "All Realms" space. The level is random, and it can only be used once per day.
Isn't this just a lottery? Random level means there's a chance to win the remains of a powerful god? That would be incredible!
"That's interesting," Jiang Yan said, perking up immediately.
He has always been quite confident in his luck.
Moreover, it only costs 100 Death Essence per use, which isn't expensive.
After washing his hands with the spring water in the Angel Zone, he silently closed his eyes and activated his skill.
In an instant, it felt as if my hands had passed through endless layers of space, and all sorts of different sensations came from my hands.
Jiang Yan grabbed it with all his might.
—The skeleton slipped from my grasp; I grasped nothing.
As the illusion vanished, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at his empty hands and the panel that was missing 100 Death Essence. He then spent 1,000 Soul Crystals to summon the Will of All Realms.
"What's going on? Why didn't I touch the corpse when I used the skill 'Divine Hand'?"
"Ding! Upon inspection, Lord Jiang Yan touched the leg bone of a powerful corpse. It retains a certain degree of instinct and pulled the leg out while you weren't paying attention, and then escaped."
"But the skill description doesn't mention that there's a probability to obtain it. This is a scam. I'm requesting a refund of my money."
...
...
After a moment of silence, the will of all realms finally responded: "The feedback from Lord Jiang Yan has been confirmed. The skill description has been modified, and the Lord is hereby rewarded with a certain number of Soul Crystals."
"This incident has been resolved. A five-star review has been automatically given. Goodbye."
[Hint: You have obtained 100 Soul Crystals.]
Wait a minute! Compensating only 100 is way too stingy!
What's going on now? We've lost 100 Death Essence and been swindled out of 900 Soul Crystals, resulting in a maximum loss.
Even the skill description of the Divine Hand has been changed to: Consuming the essence of death has a chance to randomly obtain an uncollected corpse in the "All Realms" space. The level is random, and it is limited to once per day.
Jiang Yan sighed helplessly. "Fine, fine, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the skill that caused it, right?"
"My lord, my lord!"
Just then, a shout came from a member of a dwarf construction team.
"I apologize, my lord. I heard from my squad members that I saw you at the fountain. I thought you might still be awake, so I took the liberty of coming to disturb you."
"It's alright, you guys are still up so late?" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Rest? No need!" The dwarf patted his chest and said proudly, "I saw that the angels haven't slept since they returned, praying and praising your statue. How can we, as dignified men, be inferior to these girls!"
Jiang Yan's expression was somewhat strange; angels were different from them.
Simply keep praying and you will receive a baptism of holy light, washing away all your weariness.
"Let's not talk about that, my lord. After our tireless efforts, we have finally completed the construction of the Radiant Mission. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yan's eyes lit up; this was good news.
Tomorrow is the day of the first Abyss Riot. If we can recruit some missionaries to spread the faith at this time, the effect will be exceptionally good.
"Let's go take a look."
The two jogged along and soon arrived at the outside of a brand new monastery.
It covers an area of about 2 kilometers and is divided into east and west courtyards. The interior is decorated with countless angel reliefs, making it appear sacred and solemn.
In the very center of the main hall stands a statue of Jiang Yan, while countless phantoms of white-robed missionaries kneel on the ground, praying devoutly.
Glorious Mission
An epic-level building in the Holy Light system, capable of recruiting Holy Light Evangelists and Holy Light Spreaders.
