31: Chapter 31 The Foundation is Established!

Without any hesitation, Lin Yunfei directly summoned the interface of the creation terminal.

Holding over four million in heavy funds, his confidence was now unprecedentedly sufficient!

"Construction, [altar of the abundant spring]!"

With a thought, Lin Yunfei directly deducted 300,000 points of faith as the cost for construction and initial activation.

Rumble——!

From deep within the previously calm earth, a low and majestic roar suddenly came.

Immediately after, in the central region where the farmland and canals met, the soil rolled, and a huge altar piled up from ancient stones with countless profound farming totems engraved on its surface slowly rose from the ground!

Accompanied by the complete formation of the altar, a circle of naked-eye-visible earthy-yellow soft halo, like water ripples,

Rippled silently in all directions, instantly completely shrouding the farming area of the entire divine kingdom.

Those grayish-white sandy soils that were originally loose and completely non-sticky, the moment they contacted the earthy-yellow halo, seemed to be injected with a mysterious vitality.

The sand grains began to aggregate with each other, the surface layer of the soil gradually softened, and the color slowly transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye toward the dark brown representing fertility.

Xi, who was bitterly digging by the canal, suddenly widened his eyes.

He looked at his feet in disbelief.

At the bottom of the ditch that was originally leaking water crazily, the soil suddenly became tight and dense.

The murmuring clear spring flowed along the ditch, and this time, the moisture no longer flowed away pointlessly, but steadily flowed along the trough all the way into the withered spiritual rice paddy!

"Water... the water is retained!"

"The land has turned black! The gods have manifested! This is the gift of the Creator!"

Hundreds of human men dropped the stone pickaxes in their hands, trembling all over with excitement, their knees went soft, and they heavily knelt into the moist soil, frantically kowtowing and worshiping towards the sky.

[Ding! Your dependents felt the gift of abundance, and the purity of faith has gained a trace of improvement!]

[The leylines of the divine kingdom are currently slowly repairing... The upper limit of soil fertility has broken through!]

Lin Yunfei looked at the prompt on the terminal and nodded with satisfaction.

Meals must be eaten bite by bite, and paths must be walked step by step. The effect of the altar is long-term.

Having finished all this, Lin Yunfei did not stop.

His gaze turned to the three cards emitting a charming halo quietly lying in the creation backpack.

Next is the main event.

"Plant, [Primal Spirit-Gathering Jade Tree]!"

Lin Yunfei directly placed this foundational divine tree, which cost a precious exchange privilege from the military, on top of the micro-spiritual vein spring at the very core of the divine kingdom.

Light flickered, and a strange ancient tree carved entirely from translucent jade without a single leaf steadily took root in the spring.

This incomplete divine object did not cause any heaven and earth anomalies. It just stood quietly there, its jade branches emitting a soft shimmer.

But with every flicker of its dimness and brightness, Lin Yunfei keenly perceived that the violent and chaotic void dark energy outside the divine kingdom,

Was being forcibly pulled into the body by this jade tree at an extremely slow speed, and after being filtered and transformed by the jade tree, it turned into wisps of the purest heaven and earth spiritual Qi, feeding back into the air.

"Next, it is yours."

Lin Yunfei's thoughts flickered again.

In the center of the Megalithic City-State, beside the grotto temple where the smartest human scholars gathered, a flash of golden light appeared.

A sapling of the [Seven Treasures Bodhi Tree], only half a man high and with leaves like carved gold, quietly broke through the soil.

A faint golden Buddhist light shrouded the entire temple.

Inside the temple, the High Priest Xi was holding a bone pen, sweating profusely as he deduced an improved array branch derived from the Xuanwu Killing Array on a huge stone slab.

He had been stuck on this array node for three whole days and nights, and there seemed to be a ball of tangled hemp in his mind, which he couldn't clear up no matter what.

Just at this moment, a wisp of faint golden Bodhi micro-light passed through the stone window and fell on Xi.

In an instant!

Xi's originally furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and the intertwined tangled hemp seemed to be instantly cut off by a sharp sword. His originally exhausted thoughts erupted like a gushing spring!

Not only Xi, but those young scholars in the temple who were diligently studying military strategy and agricultural knowledge?

Under the coverage of the Bodhi force field, they also successively felt an unprecedented clarity in their minds, and the originally obscure and difficult knowledge suddenly became extremely smooth at this moment.

And in the heavy armor new army training camp on the other side of the city-state,

A dark red light flashed, and a [Azure Dragon Tyrant Body Fruit Tree] with bark standing upside down like a giant dragon's scales rose from the ground in front of a group of black-gold armored soldiers sweating profusely.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

That rhythm like a heartbeat was very clearly transmitted into the ears of every soldier.

Leader Yan Er, who had just led the soldiers to complete a round of weighted sprints, could clearly feel that even just breathing near this tree, his extremely sore muscles were experiencing a slight tingling sensation, and the density of his bones was being slowly tempered by some kind of power.

At this point, the four foundational-level puzzle pieces were perfectly embedded into the ecological cycle of the divine kingdom by Lin Yunfei!

All changes were not encouragement by pulling up shoots achieved overnight, but a murmuring, endless long river.

But Lin Yunfei knew very well that to truly transform these foundations into combat power, a core problem must be solved.

Time!

The three-year gambling deadline was right in front of him, and he didn't have hundreds of years to wait for the new generation to grow up slowly.

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath.

"High Priest Xi, Leader Yan Er, Yan San, listen to my divine oracle!"

A grand voice exploded loudly over the Megalithic City-State.

All the clansmen in the city-state immediately put down the affairs in their hands and piously prostrated on the ground.

"I have bestowed many foundations, the altar consolidates the root, the Bodhi enlightens the mind, and the Azure Dragon tempers the body."

Lin Yunfei's grand divine voice exploded loudly over the Megalithic City-State, revealing unquestionable majesty and expectations.

"The foundation of the divine kingdom has been established, and the Dao is right ahead. You all should concentrate on cultivation, develop well, carefully reproduce, and do not fail My grace!"

"Praise the great Creator!"

"We will definitely cultivate to the death, and will never fail the great kindness of the Lord God!"

Above the nine heavens, Lin Yunfei looked at this bustling scene, his eyes flashing with a satisfied glow.

The four foundations gathered together, and the potential of the divine kingdom had been raised to an unbelievable level. This was the most solid foundation he laid to deal with the three-year covenant.

However, before he could be happy for long,

When Lin Yunfei inadvertently glanced at the fund panel in the upper right corner of the creation terminal, the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched violently.

[Current total account balance: 3.82 million points of faith!]

[Current total account balance: 3.79 million points of faith!]

[Current total account balance: 3.75 million points of faith...]

That long string of numbers that originally made him full of confidence was now frantically jumping downwards at a waterfall-like cascading speed!

Lin Yunfei gasped, and hurriedly clicked open the financial details.

[altar of the abundant spring (B-grade) daily leylines improvement and maintenance deduction...]

[Primal Spirit-Gathering Jade Tree (A-grade incomplete) void energy transformation array wear and tear deduction...]

"Hiss……"

Lin Yunfei felt a toothache.

He finally understood why Instructor Chen Zheng said that foundational buildings slow down the rhythm. Although these high-level divine objects do not require any time secret realms to catalyze, they themselves are bottomless pits!

Although they can bring a steady stream of long-term benefits, in the process of remolding the entire divine kingdom environment in the early stage, they need to swallow massive amounts of faith points every day to maintain operation.

"It seems that just guarding this money and living off past achievements won't work."
