Chapter 437: Chapter 433: End of the Battlefield, Tallying the Gains
Chu Zhenyue’s death did not have a significant impact on the situation of Battlefield No. 1.
The entire battlefield was still littered with numerous Lords from the Eternal Realm, relentlessly hunting down surviving Lords from all domains.
Those Lords had tried to organize attacks on the Eternal Realm’s position midway, but ultimately failed.
Until midday of the last day arrived.
The long-awaited prompt finally echoed in the minds of all the Lords.
[Congratulations, Lords, for surviving three days on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.]
[The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms has ended, and transmission will begin soon. Please prepare yourselves, Lords.]
"Finally going back..."
In a corner of the battlefield, Lin You silently raised his head and looked toward the sky.
Then, he glanced at the resource interface.
A total of 8 billion Magic Energy, significantly more than the last battlefield.
These were accumulated from clearing Demons and killing Eternal Realm Lords and Realm Alliance members over the past day.
Including the 5 billion stored in his territory, a total of 13 billion Magic Energy should be enough for the initial funds required to upgrade to Tier Nine, making his efforts worthwhile.
As for the attack on the Eternal Realm’s position, he didn’t participate.
Because he knew well that given the disparity in numbers and strength between the two sides, breaking through was practically impossible.
The outcome proved him right.
As the transmission was about to begin, a prompt sounded in his mind.
[Failed to breach the foundation of the Eternal Realm’s position, battlefield mission failed.]
Indeed.
Tasks on Battlefield No. 1 aren’t completed every time.
As the sound fell, beams of white light lit up across the battlefield, and all surviving Lords were transmitted back to their respective Realms.
While waiting, Lin You also fell into a state of weightlessness amid distorted vision.
Shua!
Light flashed.
Standing firm again, he was already back in his territory.
Looking at the familiar World Tree and the long-missed scenery around him, Lin You’s tense mood instantly relaxed.
"I’m back, damn it, I came back alive!"
"Haha, managed to endure another round of battlefield successfully."
"Brothers, come out and report safe."
Now, a flood of messages began to appear in the Duchy channel.
The Lords who had just returned to their territories were enthusiastically discussing their encounters and gains in this battlefield, making the channel lively.
Lin You watched the messages for a while, then came to the World Tree, beginning to sort out the battlefield gains in preparation for Tier Nine upgrade.
Although it was only a brief three days.
His gains this time were substantial.
First was the Power of Faith, five High-level Treasure Pearls plus one Top-level Treasure Pearl, totaling 10,000 points of Faith.
Next was Rare Species Token, Deep Blue Dream.
And Ordinary Beast Type Token, Phantom Black Lizard.
Finally, the Humanoid Sacred Artifact and Secret Treasure obtained from killing Chu Zhenyue, along with two Species Upgrade Scrolls.
Each of these items was of significant value.
Especially that Origin Crystal Core, equivalent to the value of ten Origin Crystals.
If he guessed right, this should be the reward for destroying the Ten Thousand Realms faction’s position foundation by Chu Zhenyue, equal to the battlefield mission reward they received.
Such a precious item, even a Tier Nine Lord would covet if taken out.
Unexpectedly, it ended up benefiting him.
Could be considered a variant completion of the battlefield task.
Just not completed personally.
Taking out each item and putting them aside, Lin You first grabbed the Faith Treasure Pearls.
[Do you want to use "Faith Treasure Pearl (High-level)"?]
[Do you want to use "Faith Treasure Pearl (Top-level)"?]
"Use them all!"
As the sound fell, all the Faith Treasure Pearls became streaks of light, merging into the World Tree.
Lin You quickly opened the territory interface to take a look, the Power of Faith finally broke through 50,000, reaching the requirement for Tier Nine upgrade.
However, he did not immediately upgrade the territory but opened the species interface, deporting all species, leaving only the Royal Family and Symbiotic Moss, and that Radiant Sunflower which inherited the Guardian Barrier skill.
Because the level of Deceitful Willow follows the territory upgrade.
After upgrading to Tier Nine, this species’ level will also be forced to upgrade to Tier Nine.
By then, each mutation would cost ten times the price; that is, 250,000 Magic Energy per mutation.
Even if he had more Magic Energy, he wouldn’t dare to squander it like this.
So before upgrading, he must mutate all Symbiotic Moss first.
With that thought, Lin You opened the recruitment interface, recruited all the three hundred vacant spots as Deceitful Willows, and began mutating.
"Brothers, major news! The entrance to the Demon Plane has been closed!"
At this moment, a different message suddenly appeared in the Duchy channel.
The plane entrance closed?
While mutating species, Lin You watched the Duchy channel, showing an expression of surprise.
"What do you mean? The plane entrance is closed?"
"Did something happen over at the Demon Plane?"
"Could it be some unexpected incident?"
"It’s true! Not only is the plane entrance closed, but it seems even the teleportation of the Main City at the border has shut down!"
"What the hell! Even the main city is shut down?"
"I just tried, and it’s true!"
Messages kept flashing across the channel, and the topic quickly shifted from battlefield encounters to plane entrances and border main cities.
These two places, one being a passage connecting with other realms and the other an entrance to the Demon Plane, were closed simultaneously, which is quite perplexing.
It’s clear.
During the battlefield activation, something major must have happened within the realm.
This couldn’t help but remind Lin You of the unexplained tremor he felt on the battlefield before. Could this be the reason?
"It seems I must hurry to upgrade."
Lin You felt a vague sense of unease, and the mutated species’ activity also sped up a lot.
In less than two hours, 300 pieces of Symbiotic Moss completed mutation, costing him a full 1 billion Magic Energy.
If he upgraded to Tier Nine and then mutated, the cost would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, the remaining 300 million Magic Energy was almost enough for him to recruit Tier Nine Species.
Now the only thing missing was just a Tier Nine mutated embryo.
According to Lin You’s idea, the Infinite Reproduction of Blood Sword Grass and the Attribute Protection of Lucky Four-leaf Clover were the best choices.
Although the Rare Species he just acquired, Deep Blue Dream, could be considered a Tier Nine embryo, its skills weren’t suitable for large-scale mutation.
But waiting for Blood Sword Grass or Clover to be researched would take more than a month, which he couldn’t afford.
"Forget it, I’ll go to the Holy Sanctuary first."
He closed the interface, stood up, and dusted off his clothes, then took the battlefield treasure he just obtained and teleported to the Floating Islands through the teleportation gate.
As soon as he stood firm, he was startled by the lively scene before him.
Looking around, every floating island was crowded with lords from various countries, some setting up stalls to sell, others wandering around for bargains.
The bustling scene was just like celebrating the New Year.
Of course.
Many had received the news and came specifically to check on the plane entrance situation, all heading straight to the central island.
Lin You followed them to the central island, and sure enough, as the lords said, the space fissure connected to the Demon Plane had completely disappeared, leaving only an empty portal and towering statues around.
"What... what exactly happened? Why did the plane entrance suddenly disappear?"
"Without access to the Demon Plane, where will we get resources in the future?"
"Yes, I don’t know when it will be restored."
"Such a big incident, the Great Emperors must know about it. We should go back and wait for news."
Lords gathered around the portal, discussing fervently.
Each had a different expression on their faces: confusion, worry, unease.
But no matter what they thought, they could only wait for news from above.
Lin You stayed for a while but didn’t receive any useful information, so he left the central island and strolled around the stalls on various platforms.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, while passing a Tier Nine lord’s stall, his attention was caught by a Species Token engraved with plant patterns.
Approaching for a closer look, it turned out to be the species he was looking for!
[Species Token: Illusion Sword Grass (Plant Type)]
[Species Level: Ordinary]
[Species Level: Tier Nine]
[Effect: Unlock the ordinary plant species "Illusion Sword Grass."]
[Introduction: The advanced form of Blood Sword Grass, with significantly enhanced reproductive abilities.]
[Usage Requirements: Tier Nine Territory, 2.5 million Magic Energy]
...
Exactly!
It was the advanced species of Blood Sword Grass!
Though it wasn’t the Lucky Four-leaf Clover he most desired, it was still a very good mutated embryo, making him unexpectedly overjoyed.
"Excuse me, how much is this token?"
Lin You took a deep breath and looked at the Tier Nine lord organizing items next to the stall.
"Trade only, not for sale." The Tier Nine lord glanced at him and then lowered his head again.
Lin You didn’t think much of it and directly took out the Phantom Lizard Token from his personal space.
"Would this token do?"
The Tier Nine lord looked up when he heard this, gave the token in Lin You’s hand a glance, and seemed slightly surprised.
"This species is indeed good, but it isn’t enough to exchange for my token."
"Why?" Lin You asked, puzzled.
Both are ordinary species, and the Reproductive Grass branch is notoriously weak, with only a quarter the attributes of the same level.
Yet, even this wasn’t enough to exchange; was this guy trying to con him?
"You don’t know?" The Tier Nine lord raised an eyebrow, "After the Blood Sword Grass species is promoted to Tier Nine, the multiplication skill gains an extra effect, where attributes are completely copied from the main body."
"Completely copied?"
"Yes, regardless of how high your species’ main body attributes are enhanced, the attributes of the reproduced split body will be exactly the same as the main body."
"Are you serious!?"
Lin You’s eyes suddenly shone with a burst of light.
Attributes exactly like the main body, meaning the bonus effects of the Symbiotic Moss, and even the bonus attributes of other equipment plant species, would be inherited by the split body!
This was far more powerful than before.
Because previously, the reproduced body would only inherit the basic attributes of the main body.
And the appearance of this extra effect practically maximized this species’ value.
Buy!
He must buy this Species Token!
