The Human Emperor's Sword (Supreme Level): The adornment sword of the Human Emperor, the one of the Three Emperors, the supreme of the human path.
Automatically matched cultivation technique: The Human Emperor's Classic.
Attribute one: Wear the Human Emperor's Sword, your realm combat strength increases by one.
Attribute two: The Source of Faith, unlock the power of human faith.
The seal of Attribute two has been unlocked, which is The Source of Faith, unlocking the power of human faith.
"The Source of Faith?" Chu Yuan pondered, "I am aware of the faith of the human race, but what is the function of The Source of Faith?"
"The Human Emperor's Sword, crafted by the first man in the ancient human path using the faith of countless human beings, aggregates the human faith like a source, gathers faith power, solidifies national fortune. Once The Source of Faith is activated, the host can assist cultivation with the power of faith."
The system voice prompted.
"Enhance strength with the power of faith!"
Chu Yuan was able to break through the Divine Realm so quickly just now by relying on a rich burst of wish power from all beings.
Attribute one can increase combat strength by one.
Attribute two can increase the speed of cultivation.
Undoubtedly, these two attributes are most important for Chu Yuan at present.
He tried to enhance his realm using destiny points. After his breakthrough to the Divine Realm, it already required three thousand points for upgrade, which is quite harsh.
"Activate The Source of Faith."
Chu Yuan waved the Human Emperor's Sword, endless light points gathered, in a blink, a true projection of Dawu's territory appeared in front of his eyes like a miniaturized yet absolutely realistic map.
On this true projection, Chu Yuan could see countless light points gathered together.
"It can do this as well." Chu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Just like a real map of the country, with the Human Emperor's Sword, I can detect the changes in the empire's population in the simplest and most straightforward way."
The Human Emperor's Sword is indeed the sword of human faith.
Chu Yuan also saw the Southwest Province on the map.
The light points there were also increasing at an amazing speed, apparently, Lu Qianfu had already begun to rapidly establish Dawu institutions there.
At this time, he also checked the seal of attribute three.
Attribute three seal: With a population of fifty billion, and sacrificing one top-notch divine artifact, attribute three seal can be unveiled.
Current Progress: (One billion/ Fifty billion).
To unlock attribute three, the empire's population must reach fifty billion, and a top-notch divine artifact must also be sacrificed. It's far stricter than attribute two, but Chu Yuan knew that with each seal broken, the Human Emperor's Sword would unlock greater capabilities.
"My powerful cultivation method is to expand the empire!"
Chu Yuan's eyes shone brightly. Indeed, after activating The Source of Faith, he felt his cultivation speed increasing faster and faster, and this speed would quicken as the empire's population grew.
The God Warrior Army brought back a large number of remnants to the Imperial City.
Those within the court who belonged to the factions of Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun were all purged.
The entire empire was completely under Chu Yuan's control.
Several more days passed.
Current progress: (Twenty-two billion/Fifty billion).
Obviously, the Southwest Province had been thoroughly incorporated into the empire's map, and Lu Qianfu also led the Beast Army to rush to the Imperial City.
"Ding, the host has completed all the options for this event, won three thousand destiny points, the plans for the God-destroying Crossbow, and one random draw."
After Chu Yuan suppressed all the domestic rebellions and resolved the issues with the Wan Beast Mountain Range and Linhai County, they received the final reward for this event.
The plans for the God-destroying Crossbow: The standard weapon of the Ancient Dynasty, with a maximum firing range of ten miles and a maximum power range of one mile.
Materials: Twenty pounds of refined steel, sinew of the Mighty Divine Demon, and an unspecified amount of Meteorite Fine Gold.
The materials needed to construct the God Slayer Crossbow were not as numerous as those for the Divine Mechanism Cannon. Chu Yuan could send the Purple Scale Thunder Dragon to gather demon sinew from the depths of the Wanshou Mountain Range.
Meteorite Fine Gold could be obtained from the Infinite Trade Association.
However, the most significant consumption was indeed the crossbow arrows.
Arrows were designed in conjunction with the God Slayer Crossbow, which included different types; the highest-level arrows, named God Slayer Arrows, were said to be so powerful that even the mana of a Divine Realm expert could not resist their force, resulting in immediate death on impact.
If the Forbidden Army was equipped with the God Slayer Crossbows that day, Fan Ning won't have had the chance to lash out arrogantly and attack the city gate.
Blueprint for the God Slayer Arrow: An Arrow designed specifically for use with the God Slayer Crossbow.
Upon review, Chu Yuan found that the God Slayer Arrows also required Meteorite Fine Gold for arrowheads, with the other materials being refined steel.
The highest-level God Slayer Arrow was made entirely of Meteorite Fine Gold. However, constructing these was resource-intensive as they were made in large batches, ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands at a time.
Theoretically, the power of the God Slayer Arrow directly correlated with the amount of Meteorite Fine Gold used in its creation.
"The God Slayer Crossbow must be constructed. The Divine Mechanism Cannon is used for besieging cities, and the God Slayer Crossbow is meant for close combat. In hand-to-hand combat, the crossbow is clearly more effective than the bow," Chu Yuan contemplated.
"As for the required materials, I can ask Ji Fuling for them. It seems I'll have to summon her to the palace for a discussion soon."
God Slayer Crossbow crafting materials were only part of the rewards. Chu Yuan also won a chance to draw a random lottery.
"Start the lottery drawing."
The lottery wheel from the system was summoned once again.
"I wonder what I'll get this time."
Moved by an idea, Chu Yuan immediately started the lottery drawing.
"Ding! The host has completed the lottery draw and has won a High-Grade Divine Artifact Upgrade Card."
The wheel pointer stopped over tiny talismanic paper.
High-Grade Divine Artifact Upgrade Card: Used for upgrading the rank of a Divine Artifact. It can evolve low-grade and mid-grade Divine Artifacts, advancing them to a high-grade rank.
"It's the Divine Artifact Upgrade Card."
After reading the description of the Upgrade Card, Chu Yuan immediately began contemplating which Divine Artifact he should upgrade.
The Divine Enthronement Prison Stele was a high-grade Divine Artifact, hence it could not be used to upgrade to a peerless-grade Divine Artifact.
Although he owned several Divine Artifacts, it was clear that the most valuable ones to upgrade would be either the Mystic Spirit Wings or the War Army Chessboard.
The Mystic Spirit Wings were a mid-grade Divine Artifact. Upgrading them to high-grade ones might extend the three-second void time.
[Option One: Upgrade Mystic Spirit Wings and gain one hundred Destiny Points.]
[Option Two: Upgrade War Army Chessboard and gain one hundred Destiny Points.]
"Choose the War Army Chessboard for upgrading."
Without any hesitation, Chu Yuan decided to use it to upgrade the War Army Chessboard.
Upgrading the Mystic Spirit Wings to high-grade would enhance its speed, but right now, even a few additional seconds of time in the void would not be of significant importance to him.
On the other hand, the War Army Chessboard was genuinely designed for massive armies. It was thanks to this chessboard that he was able to instantly teleport his hundred-thousand-strong army back using the teleportation talisman.
As Dawu progressed, the current limit of one hundred thousand was proving too restrictive. He had to tether his entire Divine Martial Army to the War Army Chessboard. Perhaps this upgrade would increase the maximum limit, which was precisely what he needed now.
"Ding, Host has chosen option two and has gained one hundred Destiny Points."
"Upgrade the War Army Chessboard!"
A golden light sparkled on the War Army Chessboard, making it feel as though it had undergone a complete overhaul by an Artifact Refinement Master. Its brand-new attributes were presented in front of Chu Yuan.
War Army Chessboard: Mid-Grade Divine Artifact.
Using heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces, those with great power can refine this chessboard. The user can bind every single soldier's lifeblood and consciousness to the War Army Chessboard, with a maximum limit of one million.
Once bound, the user can detect any hint of betrayal and protect every bound soldier within the War Army Chessboard.
Divine Artifact Skill: War Domain, the War Army Chessboard can cover a five hundred miles radius, turning it into a war area, establishing the great War Chess Formation, granting it supreme warpower enforcement.
Currently bound: (100000/1000000).
