Chapter 419 - 222: Saint!
Now that network technology is mature and intercontinental missiles have demonstrated reassuring power, combined with the reform.
The power of the Federation began to concentrate. Besides the four major border cities and sixteen secondary border cities remaining unchanged, the Federation only plans to keep 350 cities.
And all these cities will be constructed like Zhong City.
The legislators have carved up 80% of the Federation, and they will consider these cities.
Within three days, the voices on the network got quieter and more peaceful. The Transcendents were trembling, while ordinary civilians could not access the network.
Yet they were chanting the names of Baiyi and Diane as the moment Dongwu City’s war ended.
Baiyi stood up.
[Your Legend Level has reached 100, it has advanced to World Legend Level, World Legend Level: 8.]
[Your Six-Star Title [Future Star] has transformed into an Eight-Star Title.]
[Name: Future Star.
Quality: ★★★★★★
Wearing Effect: All Federation order NPCs initially regard you as friendly; geniuses are more likely to appear in your faction, and your understanding of Alchemy Knowledge +20%.
Wearing Requirements: Legend Level 100, World Legend Level 5.
Introduction: Future Star is no longer a Future Star in the making. Now, where you are, represents the future.]
Baiyi was momentarily stunned, and before he could react, prompts continued to appear.
[Name: Saint 3: War (Completed)]
[All your Saint tasks are complete.]
[Felix, the Controller of the Tower of Soul’s goodwill -30, reaching aversion.]
[You can choose to transform your soul at any time, requiring 1 hour; please begin the transformation in a safe place.]
[You received 1 Saint’s Mark.]
[Name: Saint’s Mark.
Attribute: Permission.
Effect: Every 1000 natural days, you can enter the Saint’s Tomb once and randomly choose one among Saint’s knowledge, equipment, inheritance, or treasure.
Introduction: Every time a Saint dies, their essence becomes stronger. Perhaps Saints wish for their inheritance to be passed down forever....]
[Since you are the first Saint of this era, panel extra reward: Random reward ×1.]
[World Settlement has opened, this settlement’s world is Black Death·Pathogen.]
[You can choose one among the three rewards below.]
[Option One: Origin Stone 1/5.]
[Option Two: Soul Crystal Core (Large) ×5]
[Option Three: Special Hazardous Item ×1.]
Baiyi was momentarily stunned by the string of message notifications, but he was only stunned for an instant.
He did not choose immediately but looked down at the already recovering 186-A. Baiyi calmly said: "Continue to serve as the city wall, but don’t embed inside to avoid having to fix it again next time I summon you."
"As you command, my lord."
186-A lowered its head, speaking as the entire mecha quickly transformed, soon becoming a long decoration attached to the empty wall.
Baiyi exhaled deeply, that Tier Three Legendary finally left.
Of course, if she really wanted to fight, Baiyi wouldn’t mind trying the power of Sun Salutation using Demon Soul Blood once.
But after the first day, she couldn’t really attack again, as 186-A was recovering bit by bit every second.
If she really wanted to attack, it would only be on the first day.
Fortunately, everything is developing positively.
He couldn’t help but check the panel’s prompts again, raising his hand, a mark appeared on his palm.
It looked like something was revolving within, somewhat blurry, but giving a comfortable feeling.
This was the Saint’s Mark; it represented that this person is a Saint.
However, Baiyi still did not quite understand what a Saint is.
And why the Controller of the Tower of Souls wanted to kill him.
After some thought, Baiyi shook his head and turned to let the city’s Law Enforcement Team and Apocalypse Legion out to collect the spoils.
Baiyi returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Now on the battlefield, the Wu City, Whisper, and Storm Legions have suffered significant losses, and the manpower is already insufficient to clean up the battlefield.
After all, this time, more than three million monster corpses were left, over a million were trampled into flesh and became part of the soil during this battle.
These flesh and blood need to be buried as well.
The city’s Construction Bureau, Military Equipment Bureau, and many other departments began to move. Transcendents were not afraid, but ordinary people still feared the plague.
And once these bodies and blood are buried, they can enrich the land, making it more suitable fo nurturing Extraordinary Resources.
In this war, besides the Apocalypse Army suffering a loss of less than 10%, the other three legions lost more than half, with the Whisper Legion having a mortality rate reaching 80%.
Military resources need to be replenished, but economically, although there were losses, it was not significant.
Three hundred intercontinental missiles cost just three million each, while five hundred Madness·Bloom cost fifteen billion.
He used over thirty million in battle.
Compensation, battle merits, reward funds, and a series of other expenses amounted to roughly two hundred million Gold Coins for the 180,000-man legion.
Among the three million corpses, there were over ten thousand Golden Level bodies and many rare materials. In this era, there’s no concept of not taking materials from similar species.
Altogether, the war’s losses were at most fifteen billion.
This does not include the confiscated properties of the minor nobles. Adding their estates and various minerals, whether it’s a loss is uncertain.
However, Baiyi wasn’t thinking about it much; he returned to the City Lord’s Mansion first and went to his room.
Magic Power gradually filled the surface of his body, removing all the blood and filth.
He sat on the sofa and decisively chose the Origin Stone Fragment from the additional rewards.
This item is something even the Gods want, as for the hazardous item and Soul Crystal Core...
He ignored the hazardous item; he could find whatever dangerous goods he desired in the Black Death World.
As for the Soul Crystal Core, it is indeed very rare; he scoured the black market for a long time and found only a few.
But these items exist, and there’s potential for vein formation.
Although the Origin Stone is just a fragment, it is extremely rare, and breaking through Legendary requires it.
Even if he didn’t need it, it could create a Legendary, quite impressive.
Once the choice was made, a trace of the Power of Rules appeared before him, a vast power prepared to erupt, and Baiyi immediately grasped it.
This item is only the size of an orange, yet its intense power made Baiyi uneasy, as if exposing it would bring great trouble.
When Baiyi touched the Origin Stone Fragment, he stored it in the Demon Realm.
He exhaled deeply, nearly exposing something...
The unease in his heart gradually dissipated.
But the next moment, an unexpected change occurred, drawing Baiyi’s consciousness directly into the Demon Realm.
Because...as this Origin Stone entered the Demon Realm, the rules within the Demon Realm came to life, frantically trying to pull this Origin Stone Fragment into a deeper place.
In the Time Deceleration Zone, both the Heart of the Divine Abomination and the Finger Bone of the Goddess of Life seemed to exhibit slight changes.
Baiyi frowned, still contemplating. Usually, an Origin Stone births when a world collapses, and the Demon Realm is an idealistic dimension, perhaps akin to an Illusory World.
Gathering World Rules into an Origin Stone might genuinely benefit this realm.
Baiyi released the restriction on the Origin Stone, causing a large amount of rules from this dimension to emerge, dragging the Origin Stone beneath the surface, sinking slowly deeper.
An obscure rule transmitted into his thoughts.
A hint of joy appeared in Baiyi’s eyes because the information implied: [The Demon Realm is nurturing a Magic Attribute, estimated to complete in 3000 years.]
Upon receiving the message, Baiyi did not hesitate to issue an order, adjusting the time flow below the ground to 800 times that of the outside.
This place can nurture for three thousand years; Baiyi cannot directly wait three thousand years, but four years he might wait.
Once finished, Baiyi’s mind returned to his body.
His eyes were filled with ease, having seen a brighter future.
He wore the [Future Star] title.
Baiyi now has one [Saint’s Mark], a random reward, and a Dark Side Specialization choice.
The Light Side’s soul could hardly suppress the Dark Side’s growth; the last choice should ensure safety.
So...
Baiyi lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
[Your soul is transforming, expected to complete transformation within 1 hour.]
[Your Spirit Attribute is transforming, about to convert to Holy Spirit....]
