Chapter 546 - 338: Patching Up Deficiencies, Choosing a Divine Kingdom; An Arrival from the Yanhuang Federation Military, Vice Admiral Li Taoyun
He gazed upon his Divine Realm, which now spanned a total of 143,000 square kilometers.
As he looked down on this domain, entirely his own, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction washed over Zhang Yi.
This Divine Realm had grown from its initial 10,000 square kilometers to the current 143,000 square kilometers—a full fourteen-fold increase!
From having only a few hundred members in his Elf Clan at the beginning,
it now hosted four different Clans,
with a total population approaching 300,000.
From having no Miracles at all, it had developed to possess five Natural Wonders and five Artificial Wonders.
His Divine Realm would even soon possess a Six-Star Miracle...
All of this had been accomplished in less than a year of Main World time.
Lost in thought, Zhang Yi’s Heart Spirit became completely immersed in his Divine Realm.
After a long while, Zhang Yi finally came back to his senses.
’Tomorrow, there’s still the infusion of the Subspace Origin. For now, I can leave the Divine Realm.’
With this thought, Zhang Yi’s consciousness returned to reality.
"Disconnecting from the Divine Domain Connection Pod..."
PSHHHH!
As a plume of white mist dissipated, the door to the Divine Domain Connection Pod opened, and Zhang Yi stepped out.
After exiting the Divine Domain Connection Pod, Zhang Yi didn’t rush to sleep.
Instead, he used the remaining time he had today to start thinking about the other reward he had won:
The right to choose any Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card.
Previously, while he was still on the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship,
Vice Admiral Qin Rui had told him,
that even if they chose their Divine Domain Cards in advance, they would still have to return to their respective Federation regional assessment areas to receive them.
Therefore, Zhang Yi hadn’t been in a hurry to pick his Divine Domain Card,
deciding to wait until he returned to the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
After he finished expanding his Divine Realm’s area,
he would then assess what he was lacking and figure out what kind of Divine Domain Card he needed.
Now, the expansion of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm was basically complete, and all his Miracles had become Five-Stars.
Before Zhang Yi became a True God, it was obviously impossible to upgrade them any further.
As for the Hall of Heroic Spirits, the only one of his Artificial Wonders that wasn’t Five-Stars, Zhang Yi already had a way to deal with it.
So, under the current circumstances,
Zhang Yi clearly didn’t need any more Miracle-related Divine Domain Cards.
He already had more than enough Miracles in his Divine Realm!
’Then what type of Divine Domain Card do I need?’
Zhang Yi couldn’t think of anything right away.
However, since that was the case, Zhang Yi decided to take stock of the Divine Domain Cards he already possessed.
Perhaps that would give him some inspiration.
Currently, the Divine Domain Cards Zhang Yi had yet to integrate were:
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Heart of the Earth];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Floating Continent Fragment];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Heart of Nature];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Large Magic Fountain];
Two Five-star Divine Domain Cards [Well of Life];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Large Magic Library];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Volcanic Furnace] (Artificial Wonder);
Five-star Divine Domain Card [Large Elf Tribe * 10,000];
Five-star Divine Domain Card [On How to Cultivate the Elf Clan’s Exclusive Ancient Tree];
Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card [Call of the Son of Mountains].
The first two Divine Domain Cards, both the Five-star Divine Domain Card [Heart of the Earth] and the Five-star Divine Domain Card [Floating Continent Fragment], were cards that increased the area of his Divine Realm.
One just added more area, the other less.
Zhang Yi didn’t need any more of these two types of Divine Domain Cards.
Some might say,
that before ascending to True God, the larger the Divine Realm’s area, the more Divine Domain Origin it has.
And after ascending to True God, the expansion multiplier for the Divine Realm will be even greater!
So why not remain at the Demigod stage for a while, integrate a few more Divine Domain Cards that increase the Divine Realm’s area, and then ascend to True God?
Zhang Yi had also wondered about this.
He recalled the words from his grandfather, Zhang Shumo, which Vice Admiral Qin Rui had passed on, as well as the accompanying hints.
Upon returning to the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress,
before entering the Divine Domain Connection Pod,
Zhang Yi had used the clearance his grandfather Zhang Shumo had given him to review the materials on ascending to True God.
That was how Zhang Yi found the reason.
In fact, in the trading market for True God Level Divine Domain Cards,
cards that could increase the area of a Divine Realm were one of the most basic types available.
"Basic" here didn’t refer to their function, but to the fact that there were so many of them that they became commonplace.
The reason for this was also very simple.
After becoming a True God, even the lowest-Level Weak Divine Being,
could create Divine Domain Cards by hand as long as they had the materials and Divine Power.
In the Wars of outward expansion,
as long as a Divine Being was powerful enough, after conquering a plane,
they could carve up the entire plane into several pieces and turn them into Divine Domain Cards that increased a Divine Realm’s area.
They could even carve it into specific rivers, mountains, fields...
For some of the most spiritually rich and beautiful places on a plane,
a True God could carve them out and extract them.
As long as they were willing to part with it,
by smelting a portion of World Origin, they could form a corresponding Natural Wonder.
Therefore, for a True God, creating Divine Domain Cards that could expand a Divine Realm was an easy task.
But by that logic,
the value of Demigod Level Divine Domain Cards that increase a Divine Realm’s area shouldn’t be so high either.
So why were Demigod Level Divine Domain Cards that increased a Divine Realm’s area still so expensive?
This was where the issue of the Blue Star Will came into play!
After becoming a True God, as long as you were capable enough, it wasn’t a problem to have your Divine Realm directly devour an entire plane.
After all, the True God was personally responsible for this refinement process.
After devouring the plane,
how to fight against the plane’s residual will was also something you had to solve yourself.
If the devouring process failed,
the Divine Realm could collapse,
