My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 164 – Chapter 164: Chapter 161: Taking the Initiative (Seeking Monthly Passes)

Chapter 164: Chapter 161: Taking the Initiative (Seeking Monthly Passes)

Thirteen novices had just stepped onto the path of Awakening. Among them, Wei Jingwu and the other six Junior Apostles naturally had no surprises, but the remaining seven…

Four awoke, one failed and suffered a mental trauma, and two died on the spot.

Fang You remained silent.

His thinking was not wrong. The principles were limited by his power and realm, still beyond his grasp, but the suppressive force during the guidance indeed spread out.

A 57% Awakening rate was quite high.

At least three times higher than the normal rate of Awakening.

After all,

these novices were not investigators trained over a long period but mere civilians who had taken up weapons for just a few days, some of whom might have started out just for a meal.

To achieve such an Awakening rate was nothing short of a miracle.

But he was still not satisfied.

This was his own inadequacy!

“Give them a proper burial, here on this back hill.”

Perhaps sensing his somberness, Li Sanniu, one of the six seeds, said, “Us farmers living a full life and then getting a grand funeral when dead, that's enough for us to be content.”

“Sanniu's right,”

Li Ergou added, “We're living the good life now. Even if we're fighting hard just for this good life, it's totally worth it.”

“When the war's over, maybe I can even marry a beautiful wife. I'll definitely have a grand wedding then.”

Ergou's face showed his longing.

This was something he hadn't dared to dream of before.

The only regret was that when it was time for his wedding, he couldn't have his mentor preside over it.

…

Although there was sadness, it was fleeting like a gust of wind.

Time quietly passed,

As the mysteries seeping out from the grey line increased, some Mysterious Evils dropped out, but those Mysterious Evil species ceased to appear.

On the thirteenth day,

The second batch of nine warriors underwent Awakening, and six succeeded.

On the seventeenth day,

The third batch of eleven warriors underwent Awakening, and eight succeeded.

On the twentieth day,

The fourth batch of thirteen warriors underwent Awakening, and eleven succeeded.

By then,

The “Land of Inheritance”

“Inheritance: The Legacy of Awakening (This legacy combines a certain mysterious power and the Awakening experiences of 35 individuals) increases the chances of overcoming the Awakening Calamity by 3%. This legacy will gradually strengthen as time goes on.”

It was a synthesis.

More specifically, being within the Land of Inheritance made touching the Awakening easier, and overcoming the Awakening Calamity became ‘as if aided by divine power'.

“In fact, this is a small effect from my guidance during the Awakening process.”

“This golden special structure of the Land of Inheritance, if unable to preserve sufficient legacy, is worthless. But if it can retain enough… it becomes a peerless treasure!”

The Legacy of Awakening was just the beginning.

He looked over.

On one of those giant stones surrounding the entire Land of Inheritance like walls, an esoteric greyish-red pattern appeared.

The mark of the Legacy of Awakening.

And this occupied one of the eighteen giant stones of the Land of Inheritance.

Meaning, the Land of Inheritance could hold up to eighteen types of legacies!

…

“Blade Cut, this is a battle technique born on the battlefield, swift, precise, and ruthless. These are the demands of Blade Cut.”

“Watch closely.”

In the Land of Inheritance,

Which also served as the training ground for Wei Jingwu and others.

As Fang You extended his hand, a battle knife flew off the distant weapon rack and landed firmly in his grasp.

He held the knife, a faint red glow on the blade.

“This is the first stage of Blade Cut.”

The red glow completely enveloped the blade and kept extending.

“This is the second stage of Blade Cut.”

“Remember, when you use Blade Cut, do it with the resolve to kill the enemy.”

…

“Next, I will talk about the cultivation techniques of Cannon Punch.”

…

“Fundamental Visualization, this skill is of utmost importance, commit it to memory.”

…

The unique power ‘Angel Envoy's Heart' of the Savior had been upgraded along with the version, reducing its cooldown to the extreme.

Now rounding up, one could say that he was proficient in dozens of techniques.

And through the time spent teaching and practicing, he had indeed mastered quite a few… Blade Cut, Shadow Step, Healing Water and so on were all at his command.

But when teaching, he still borrowed skills.

Because in borrowing, he could also receive insights from Black Blade, Xing Jing Lei, and others.

He was not alone.

As he imparted knowledge, it was also Black Blade, Silver Bell, An Jianyou and others imparting, across a thousand-year expanse of time and space.

This was the legacy.

And within this structure of the Land of Inheritance, more and more imprints of legacy were left behind, still faint at the moment but as time would pass, and with more and more Flamefire warriors shining brightly, the legacies here would eventually take root and spring forth, blooming into dazzling fireworks.

By the twenty-sixth day, there were already 166 Flamefire warriors within the Land of Inheritance.

Each one had Awakened.

Among them, Wei Jingwu, Wang Hei, and Li Ergou had reached the second level of Awakening.

But still, they were not strong enough.

Outside the village,

here a tall earthen wall had been constructed, and after observing for several days, it was certain that although the Grey Line was above in the sky, the Mysterious Evil that “fell” would inevitably be in this place.

The Mysterious Evil was still weak, not worth mentioning.

But creatures like the Maggot Man and many other strange species whose names he couldn't recall, those were the real threats.

And there was that terrifying existence, seated high upon the throne.

——The Crimson Emperor!

Although he had clashed with the Crimson Emperor from a distance that day, the Crimson Emperor should have been greatly repelled by Blue Star, and it would be difficult to project even a glance over.

He needed to prepare more trump cards.

Allowing Wei Jingwu and others time to grow.

Fang You walked to the west side of the village, where there was an ancient tree that had stood for a hundred years, verdant and towering, with roots like flying earth dragons, giving off a sense of thickness and vicissitudes.

He stopped there.

He slowly raised the Radiant Scepter, and a pale gold domain spread out.

Enlighten!

——Could enlighten one non-sapient being, turning it into a mystical creature, immediately possessing combat power!

Enlightenment was an ability to create soldiers, to create fighters, its flaw being that the power of the enlightened being was fixed for life.

The moment of birth was crucial.

His entire body seemingly opened its floodgates, pouring life energy into the ancient tree, ready to enlighten it into a soldier at any moment.

But it wasn't enough, still not enough.

Fang You downed bottle after bottle of Energy Recovery Potion, his life energy continuing to pour out, and the faith and kindling from all directions kept gathering, igniting a bonfire.

Not until he had exhausted all his life energy and there was no more potion left to drink, did he finally stop.

The Radiant Scepter burst into even more dazzling golden light, enveloping the ancient tree within it.

In a flash,

leaves rustled, the earth trembled.

Upon the trunk of the entire ancient tree, an old face slowly appeared, and the roots intertwined like earth dragons stretched from the ground. They waved about, and the treetop bowed, saluting him.

「Ancient Tree Demon (Third Awakening)」

「Dimension: Slight」

「Abilities: Powerful Branches, Life Absorption」

「Description: Born from the Legendary Tier Strange Implement ‘Radiant Scepter', it possesses much more robust life energy than normal creatures, but due to a flaw, cannot continue to awaken.」

The Tree Demon had just gained consciousness and was yet to speak.

But its combat power was inherent.

It was a special being of the Third Awakening rank.

“Moreover, probably because I injected enough life energy and activated the Radiant Domain, and also amplified it with the Flamefire belief… the Tree Demon's strength far exceeds that of a typical Third Awakening being. Its life energy is like a great river.”

“Pity, it is still just a Third Awakening.”

With various enhancements and Strange Implement equipment, even a Fourth Awakening of Superhuman Rank could possibly be killed in one move.

The Tree Demon's strength was still not up to Fourth Awakening, which frankly was a bit disappointing.

It might have to do with his own rank.

He couldn't enlighten a being beyond his own Awakening rank.

The Ancient Tree Demon was the first contingency he had prepared for Wei Jingwu and the others.

Thinking it over, he summoned a ‘Junior Apostle Recruitment Voucher' and lightly pointed it at the Ancient Tree Demon.

Suddenly,

a faint light flickered.

The Ancient Tree Demon seemed unchanged, and yet, seemed more vibrant.

After some thought, he endowed the Tree Demon with something else.

In the following days, Fang You continued to enlighten more Tree Demons around the unnamed village—having already enlightened quite a few during the previous twenty or so days.

This time, unlike his all-out effort, the enlightened Tree Demons were all of the First Awakening or Second Awakening rank.

This too was not a trivial expenditure.

He needed quantity in these Tree Demons, continuously enlightening them, root after root outside the village, forming an insurmountable barrier.

“First, to prevent outsiders from entering, whether it's the mountain folk who stumble in here or the refugees from outside, or even the army, these Tree Demons are enough to dissuade them.”

“Secondly, it's to prevent the strange species inside from running out. Even if one escapes, it could lead to a great disaster.”

He had arranged everything that he could think of.

He even borrowed ‘Thousand Faces' Awakened Ability—the puppet double—crafted with special materials to perfectly fit oneself, capable of carrying one's own abilities.

He wasn't using it to make duplicates.

But combined with Pei Hongjing's ‘Explosive Cards' and Gou Ping'an's ‘Spirit Incarnation', he made these few puppets as vessels to contain a portion of his power.

A piece of equipment.

With the strength of one of his strikes.

Everything was ready, only the history had yet to witness.

“Today, I will temporarily entrust this scepter to you.”

“Remember, what you're protecting is not just this village, but the myriad of lights behind you—it's the entire dynasty, the whole Blue Star.”

Or perhaps the entirety of history.

His time left in this space-time, in this instance, was running out; the glaring red countdown appeared before him.

Above the sky, the Grey Line remained.

In front, there were faces of determination, of confusion, and even more of reluctance.

To Li Ergou and the others, Fang You was more than a mentor; he was like a second parent, a Ming Deng.

“Mentor, will we have another chance to meet?”

“…Perhaps.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over each face before him.

His vision began to distort as the tidal surge of time and space rushed towards him, the tiny droplets and the vast river reappearing once again.

The instance interface also appeared simultaneously.

「Ding!」

「The instance ‘The Birth of the Fire Seed' has entered its second phase, and will be presented in the form of images and text. Do you want to start playback?」
