86: Chapter 86 The purification speed is far faster than the speed at which the evil energy contaminates it.

"This card has no fixed believer template and possesses ultimate adaptability. Based on the holder's current divine kingdom attributes, believer system, and path origin, it will precisely generate a brand-new S-grade believer that is the most compatible, best fills the system's shortcomings, and maximizes overall combat power!"

"But as for you, I really don't know if it will be effective. After all, your divine kingdom is extremely unique! You can try it out later!" A voice that only Lin Ye could hear appeared in his mind; it was the voice of the head referee.

Lin Ye nodded slightly to show he understood.

"The third reward: official top-tier resource empowerment, comprehensively enhancing the internal carrying capacity, law stability, and territory area of the divine kingdom!

"It can solidify the chaotic laws of the divine kingdom, eliminate the hidden dangers of baleful aura restlessness, make the origin of the divine kingdom more robust and stable, and drastically increase the upper limit of believer capacity. In the future, it can accommodate more high-order believers and adapt to various high-order divine kingdom cards, thoroughly resolving late-stage growth bottlenecks!"

"This will be operated uniformly by the military department after the award ceremony ends."

Lin Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and wild joy surged in his heart.

This was exactly the core enhancement he needed most urgently right now!

His divine kingdom's initial area was 99 square kilometers, and his talent foundation was top-tier, but his believers were somewhat lacking. He had the Source-Tracing and Foundation-Consolidating talent in his hands, but he could not use it easily.

Once it reached a certain level, the laws of the divine kingdom would become chaotic, its carrying capacity would be insufficient, and a sudden surge in the number of believers would also trigger restlessness in the divine kingdom.

High-order resources and high-order cards simply could not be deployed at will. This reward directly eradicated his current greatest growth shackle.

With this reward, he would be able to rapidly expand his army again and improve the quality of his believers.

"The fourth reward: one Eight-Year Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card!

Once activated, the internal time flow of the divine kingdom will be forced to have a massive gap with the outside world. One day in the outside world can translate to long years within the divine kingdom, allowing all believers to rest, heal, cultivate, and evolve over the long term, rapidly widening the growth gap with their peers!"

The longer the duration of a Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card, the harder it was to manufacture. A one-year card could not compare to a three-year one, and a five-year card was even less comparable to an eight-year one.

Previously, he had only relied on the slight natural time difference to nourish his believers, and had also used two Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Cards. However, once this Eight-Year Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card was used, it would be enough for all of his believers to complete a round of comprehensive transformation, allowing their combat power to achieve a leap-forward surge.

"The fifth reward: one complete Heaven-grade cultivation technique (of your choice)!

"The grades of cultivation techniques are classified as: Huang, Xuan, Earth, Heaven, Desolate, Hong, Zhou, and Yu. Heaven-grade techniques far exceed the limit of Earth-grade ones. They can be directly loaded and integrated into the origin of the divine kingdom without the need for personal hard cultivation. All believers under your command can share the cultivation and purify their origin grades!"

As soon as this reward was announced, the entire venue erupted in excitement!

Cultivation techniques could accelerate the growth and combat power of believers, and some could even upgrade their bloodlines.

But they were strictly controlled. Only a very small number of people could obtain cultivation techniques, and most people could only acquire them upon reaching the true god realm.

The five top-tier rewards progressed step by step, reinforcing everything comprehensively. From the foundation of the divine kingdom, law stability, and territory expansion, to the addition of new believers, acceleration of cultivation, and advancement of cultivation techniques, they perfectly covered all of Lin Ye's current shortcomings and future growth needs.

Right after were the rewards for the second and third places. Their second and third rewards were similar, but the fourth reward was replaced with a Five-Year Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card, and they could only choose Earth-grade cultivation techniques at most.

As for the fourth place, Lin Ye paid no more attention, because his soul had already entered his divine kingdom.

He had long been impatient to place the Jinghun Hall.

Within the divine kingdom, Lin Ye directly crushed the card.

Above the sky, a hall constructed from thousand-year spirit-condensing warm jade instantly appeared. It was completely translucent and pure white, without a single speck of dust. Its edges were trimmed with gold, flowing with fine, eternal fragments of holy light. The hall stood a hundred Zhang tall, with ancient and elegant upturned eaves. From each eave hung an exquisite and translucent Jinghun Jade Bell, which chimed on its own without any wind, sending out clear, ethereal Daoist sounds that cleansed the heart.

The outer walls of the hall were densely engraved with billions of layered purification divine runes. The lines crisscrossed and formed closed loops. They did not carry a fierce, murderous Dao rhyme, but rather a warm, inclusive, and liberating Great Dao of the origin. Divine light flowed endlessly, and layers of holy halos spread across the sky.

The doors of the hall were half-closed, and the interior was dense with a vast, white, pure origin mist. The scenery inside could not be seen, but a vast, boundless, and all-stabilizing holy heritage slowly diffused outward. It did not possess any overbearing aura that crushed all living beings, yet it carried a supreme majesty that naturally locked down all evil and smoothed away all hostility.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye's mind was resolute. With a thought, he placed this S-grade Jinghun Hall firmly in the exact center of his divine kingdom, right next to the divine kingdom's core. Instantly, it transformed into the central hub of the divine kingdom, taking root in the origin, never to be moved for all eternity.

In the next instant, endless pure power of the purification origin poured down from the dome of the Jinghun Hall like an overturned heavenly river. It not only gently wrapped around Lin Ye on the arena, but also penetrated the barriers of the divine kingdom, completely enveloping every inch of space inside the divine kingdom and firmly encompassing the bodies of all his believers.

The gentle and clear purifying light slowly permeated along the meridians, flesh, and bones of Lin Ye and his believers, finally sinking into the deepest part of their soul origin.

The dark-red baleful aura particles, violent inner demon fragments, and chaotic evil hostility that had adhered to, clung to, and eroded their divine souls for years were being gently washed away bit by bit, peeled off layer by layer, and thoroughly cleansed.

In just a few breaths, whether it was the hidden danger of madness lurking deep within Lin Ye's divine soul, or the solidified baleful aura grime on the souls of believers such as the Soul-Devouring Owls and Shahun Hounds, everything was cleaned immaculately by the purification origin. Their divine souls became unprecedentedly clear and stable, and the violent emotions that used to be constantly restless were completely calmed.

But soon, Lin Ye noticed the limitations of the Jinghun Hall's abilities.

Although the Jinghun Hall was a top-tier S-grade divine kingdom building with origin-level purification capabilities, it ultimately could not completely alter the fundamental attributes of Lin Ye's divine kingdom.

This divine kingdom was originally an innate baleful aura divine kingdom, where the world was filled with rich and thick baleful spirit energy. All believers were rooted here, grew here, and cultivated here, originally relying on the nourishment of baleful aura to advance.

While the Jinghun Hall purified the divine souls and stripped away the baleful aura grime, the baleful spirit energy filling the divine kingdom's sky would constantly reattach itself to the believers' bodies and souls, thread by thread, at every single moment.

The surface of the soul that had just been thoroughly cleaned would be stained with an extremely faint layer of baleful aura in the blink of an eye, repeating in an endless, ceaseless cycle.

Fortunately, the purification efficiency of the Jinghun Hall was terrifying enough, and its purification speed far exceeded the rate of baleful aura contamination.

Under the dynamic check and balance of this back-and-forth, only a negligible, faint trace of baleful aura would ever remain on the believers' souls. This was not enough to breed inner demons, trigger rampages, or erode their sanity, let alone cause the fatal crisis of being swept away by baleful aura and losing control to madness like before the battle.

This both preserved the core advantage of the divine kingdom's baleful aura nourishing the believers and boosting their combat power, while also completely suppressing the fatal drawback of baleful aura backlash. While it could not eradicate the hidden danger, it could permanently lock down the risk, achieving the most perfect state of balance.

Lin Ye carefully sensed the brand-new changes within his divine kingdom, a look of understanding and joy emerging in his eyes.
