5: Chapter 5 Five-Star Talent, the Powerful Goblin Emperor!
Fang Chuan hovered in mid-air, his gaze shifting downward.
Beside the altar, the Three-Star Talent Warlord Oge was wielding battle axes in both hands, acting as the most loyal guard.
Further away, by the newly created river, those hundreds of unmerged inferior Gray Goblins were drinking water leisurely.
Fang Chuan glanced at the number of remaining followers in the bottom right corner of the panel. There were 468 left.
According to the laws of divine development, it is necessary to leave enough of a primitive breeding base for the territory, otherwise the Divine Kingdom would become a dead land.
With a shift of his will, Fang Chuan designated 300 of the goblins to the edge of the Shimmering Forest downstream, forbidding them from approaching the altar. 168 remained.
Fang Chuan was somewhat curious. How strong was a Five-Cost—no, a Five-Star Talent goblin really?
The textbooks at Qinghe High School stated clearly: the initial attributes of a One-Star Talent follower are between 0-20 points, Two-Star between 20-50, Three-Star around 50-200, and Four-Star are 200-1000.
As for Five-Star, the lower limit is 1000, and the upper limit is unknown!
Many Five-Star Talent followers are even born divine. It is rumored that the initial follower of the strongest person in the Dragon Kingdom is a legendary Five-Star Azure Dragon, capable of tearing apart stars upon reaching adulthood.
Five-star Believers are rare treasures that are impossible to find in any Divine Kingdom trading market; even True Gods who have ignited their Divine Fire are envious of them.
To synthesize from One-Star to Five-Star, it requires exactly 81 primary goblins. Fang Chuan had enough on hand.
"Synthesize Four-Star first."
Fang Chuan was already well-versed in the process; a series of white and golden lights intertwined above the altar, continuously washing over it.
A few minutes later, the light dissipated. Three behemoths stood before the altar.
They were eighteen meters tall, their skin a metallic blue-black, their muscles like bulging rocks, each carrying a massive totem pole engraved with rough runes. Every breath they took created a muffled, thunderous sound in the air.
[Race]: Goblin King [Level]: Level 1 [Talent]: Four-Star ... [Comprehensive Combat Power]: 14200
Fang Chuan scanned the detailed attributes. The four basic attributes of these three Goblin Kings all exceeded 400 points. Among Four-Star Talent followers, this was already quite outstanding.
But Fang Chuan did not stop. His gaze remained fixed on these three behemoths. "Continue."
Boom! The sky of the entire Divine Kingdom completely changed color.
A blinding, pure golden beam of light over a hundred meters in diameter tore through the dim sky and plunged straight into the altar from ten thousand meters above!
The earth shook violently. A gale howled.
The Three-Star Goblin Overseer Warlord Oge instinctively dropped the dual axes in his hands, hitting the ground with a 'thud' on both knees, pressing his forehead tightly against the cold soil, his body trembling uncontrollably. It was a submission born from the depths of his bloodline, brought about by absolute rank suppression.
The hundreds of low-level goblins in the distance collapsed collectively, all prostrating on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
The golden light slowly dissipated. A massive shadow, towering into the clouds, covered the land in Fang Chuan's field of vision.
It was twenty-five meters tall, its entire body shining with a pure golden luster. Its powerful frame was covered in a layer of naturally formed, magnificent golden armor. On its head, it wore a crown burning with dark golden flames. It held no weapons, only a pair of terrifying iron fists wreathed in wind and lightning.
The golden goblin slowly opened its eyes, its gaze like two tangible sharp swords.
Without any hesitation, this twenty-five-meter-tall goblin prostrated itself toward the sky.
It lowered its proud head, its voice like a great bell, shaking the heavens: "Fara is willing to become the sharp blade in my God's hand. Where the divine blade points, that is where my race shall conquer! Even if the galaxy shatters, I will engrave my God's name upon the heavens and the myriad worlds!"
Watching the demon-god-like figure of Fara below, Fang Chuan forcibly suppressed the palpitation in his heart and cast an inspection skill.
A deep blue light screen instantly unfurled.
[Race]: Goblin Emperor [Level]: Level 1 [Talent]: Five-Star [Constitution]: 15000 [Strength]: 25000 [Intelligence]: 19000 [Speed]: 35000 [Comprehensive Combat Power]: 480,000 [Faith Level]: Saint [Exclusive Skills]: War Cry, Peerless, Armor Break, Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique. [Faith Output]: 200/day
"So powerful..." Fang Chuan gasped, and then an irrepressible ecstasy surged in his chest. "I am going to be invincible!"
A comprehensive combat power of 480,000! Just the 200 points of faith output per day alone was incredibly worth it.
The higher the follower level, the harder it is to transcend. A Saint-level faith means Fara's soul is already completely bound to Fang Chuan, never to betray, never to retreat. According to the flow rate where one year in the Divine Kingdom equals one day in reality, after one day in the real world passes, Fara can provide him with a full 73,000 points of faith.
Added to the heaven-defying interest of [Hedge Fund+], Fang Chuan would not be short of faith points in this world for a short time.
Fang Chuan clicked on Fara's four skills one by one. [War Cry: During battle, increases all attributes of our side by 30%. Your followers will fear no hardship, invincible in battle and unstoppable in attack!] [Peerless: Increases all attributes by 200%, damage reduction by 60%, and skill attack power by 70%!] [Armor Break: When battle begins, forces a 30% reduction in all enemy armor!] [Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique: After entering battle, increases physical and magical attack power by 1% every second!]
The more Fang Chuan read, the faster his heart beat. This skill combination was practically tailor-made for large-scale divine wars.
War Cry is a group buff, Armor Break is a group debuff. Peerless ensures extreme burst and survivability. And the most terrifying one is the Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique.
Increasing physical and magical attack power by 1% per second. In those meat-grinder battlefields of Divine Kingdom wars that often last for days and nights, as long as Fara survives the first few minutes, its attack power will inflate to an incomprehensible value.
"This synthesis far exceeded my expectations." Fang Chuan quickly composed himself. Now was not the time to be complacent; the basic operation of the Divine Kingdom was the priority.
He cleared his throat, his voice transforming into a mighty divine sound, echoing over the territory: "Fara, these goblins are your subjects. I hope you can lead them well."
Fara remained on one knee, his massive head bowed, his voice pious and resonant: "As you command, my God!"
The Three-Star Overseer Warlord Oge, who had been prostrating on the ground, only then dared to look up slightly, his voice full of awe: "My God... the goblin race reproduces extremely quickly; a couple can produce dozens of children in a year. The existing resources of this territory cannot support our expansion. I beg my God to show mercy to our race."
Fang Chuan nodded slightly; the famine caused by the explosive increase in followers was already within his expectations. But the side effects were also obvious. If they can reproduce, they can eat. Without sufficient resources, the Divine Kingdom would quickly fall into internal collapse.
"In my kingdom, how can there be hunger?" With a thought from Fang Chuan, the one hundred [Primary Food Drop Cards] he had swept up from the exchange were instantly activated, transforming into a sky full of flowing light.
The sky cracked open in several places. Countless processed chunks of beast meat, fresh berries, and tuber plants poured down like a rainstorm, landing precisely on the open spaces along the Shimmering Forest and the riverbanks.
Food piled up like mountains. In the distance, those starving, skin-and-bone inferior Gray Goblins had green eyes, rushing madly toward the food piles, grabbing raw meat and stuffing it into their mouths.
"Praise the generosity of my God!" Fara crossed his arms over his chest and bowed his head deeply.
After making the arrangements, Fang Chuan glanced at the remaining faith points on the control panel: 98,500. Just then, a notification from the outside world came from the Divine Kingdom. Someone was looking for him outside; it must be Zhang Chao back to find him.
His consciousness began to withdraw. The world in his vision blurred rapidly. When Fang Chuan opened his eyes again, the sensor lights in the quiet room turned on automatically. He glanced at the electronic clock on the wall; less than half an hour had passed in the real world.
He pushed the door open and walked out of the quiet room. The corridor was empty; most of the third-year high school students were still at the testing field or had gone home to report their grades to their parents.
"Chuanzi!" A familiar roar came from the end of the corridor. Zhang Chao was running over with his schoolbag on his back, taking large strides.
"Been waiting long? Let's go, to Shanhai Tower! Today, I'm treating you to whatever you want!"
Fang Chuan said with a smile: "Looking at your smug face, the school must have given you quite a few good things, right?"
Zhang Chao chuckled, threw his arm around Fang Chuan's neck, and said excitedly: "The school really splurged this time! Three Medium Spirit Vein Cards, and they even gifted a batch of Tier 3 Werewolves! Listen to me, Chuanzi, once I breed this batch of werewolves, I'll send the first, most elite batch directly into your Divine Kingdom to guard the gate!"
Zhang Chao patted his chest, his tone incredibly serious: "I'm not kidding. So what if it's an F-rank Divine Kingdom? I'll use my resources to force it, even if I have to smash my way to get you into the Divine Deity Academy!"
Hearing these words from his desk mate, Fang Chuan's eyes flickered, and a hint of warmth rose in his heart. In this world where everything speaks based on Divine Kingdom potential and strength, having such a loyal friend is indeed rare.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your werewolves." Fang Chuan did not refuse. The two walked side by side toward the school exit.
