79: Chapter 79 The Plan to Introduce the Divine Bloodline

The reform of the Divine Kingdom was on the right track, and everything was proceeding methodically according to Fang Chuan's vision.

Stimulated by the merit system, the followers erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm. Every day, thousands of teams marched into the Howling Wilderness to battle those Void Realm Demonic Beasts.

Casualties were unavoidable, but with the support of the SSS-grade Divine Kingdom buildings, the casualties remained within a controllable range.

However, those who survived gained enormous rewards.

Using the merits they earned, they exchanged them for better food, donned sturdier armor, and picked up sharper weapons.

More importantly, through repeated life-and-death battles, their combat skills, teamwork abilities, and that heart belonging to the strong were all growing rapidly.

The weak were eliminated, and the strong became stronger.

The entire Divine Kingdom was permeated with a masculine aura of iron and blood.

"This is the army I wanted."

However, while feeling gratified, he also realized a problem more clearly.

"Bloodline, after all, is a fatal flaw."

He saw that an elite squad composed of ten three-star Goblins, when facing a three-star Shadow Hound, even with excellent equipment and tacit cooperation, still had to pay the price of two or three people being seriously injured to barely take it down.

And that Shadow Hound, relying on its speed advantage and eerie shadow abilities, could often easily take out one or two Goblins while being besieged.

"The strength is still too poor." Fang Chuan shook his head.

The Goblins' advantage lies in their massive numbers and strong reproductive capacity. But their individual strength, among all races, is indeed at the lower end.

"I must introduce high-tier Bloodline as soon as possible," Fang Chuan thought to himself.

What he wanted was not just an army that could fight, but an ace force that could win battles and crush the enemy.

"Divine Bloodline..."

This thought emerged in his mind once again.

Followers with Divine Bloodline, such as Angels, Elves, Holy Light Knights, etc., do not just have powerful combat strength.

More importantly, the Holy Light aura they naturally carry has a natural suppressive effect on creatures of the chaotic and evil factions.

Moreover, they generally possess higher intelligence and civilization levels, and have long lifespans. They can serve as "Educators" and "Managers" of the Divine Kingdom, subtly improving the quality of all followers in the Divine Kingdom, and even, to a certain extent, assimilate those with low-tier Bloodline.

It's like in a classroom; if the majority are top students, then the few remaining slackers, even if they don't want to study, will be driven by that learning atmosphere.

"The one hundred three-star Dark Elf cards and ten four-star Angel cards that General Wei Zheng gave me before are a very good example."

Fang Chuan thought of the few Five-star Believers he had converted.

Whether it was the Dark Elf Forbidden Spell Mage or the Eight-Winged Judgment Angel, their attributes and skills were far beyond what Goblins of the same tier could compare to.

"I must find a way to get a batch of Divine Bloodline follower cards."

Fang Chuan opened the Divine Kingdom Exchange and searched.

The results made him wince.

[Two-Star · Light Elf Archer]: Price 5000 Faith Value/card.

[Three-Star · Battle Angel]: Price 500,000 Faith Value/card.

[Four-Star · Temple Knight]: Price 5,000,000 Faith Value/card.

"Damn! Why is it so expensive!" Fang Chuan couldn't help but curse.

The price of Divine Bloodline follower cards of the same star level is almost ten times, or even dozens of times, that of ordinary Demonic Beast cards!

This is only for two-star and three-star ones; if it were five-star or six-star, the price would be unimaginable.

"That's true, such strategic resources are hidden away like treasures by every God Lord; those that can be taken out for sale are already rare." Fang Chuan quickly understood.

Followers with Divine Bloodline are not only powerful in combat, but many also possess auxiliary, healing, and production talents. They are a versatile type of unit; who would complain about having too many?

"Relying on buying is not realistic. Even if I had one trillion, I couldn't afford to burn through it like this." Fang Chuan shook his head.

What he needed was large-scale introduction, at least starting from 100,000. If he relied entirely on buying, that one trillion would probably bottom out very quickly.

"It seems I can only ask someone for help."

In Fang Chuan's mind, General Wei Zheng's dignified face appeared.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenxi Military Region and a top titan of the Dragon Country's military, the resources in General Wei Zheng's hands were absolutely massive.

Getting a batch of three-star and four-star Divine Bloodline follower cards from him shouldn't be a difficult task.

"It's just that I don't know how to bring it up." Fang Chuan was in a bit of a dilemma.

He had just received one trillion and a pile of top-tier rewards from him, and turning around to ask for things again, wouldn't that be a bit too thick-skinned?

"No, I can't take them for nothing. I need to show some sincerity." Fang Chuan rubbed his chin and began to calculate.

What was his greatest advantage?

The 100% synthesis ability!

What General Wei Zheng and the others valued was precisely this ability of his.

"I can help the military mass-convert Five-star Believers, and in exchange, have them provide low-star follower cards as 'Materials'."

The military needed a large number of five-star powerhouses to fill high-end combat power, while he needed massive amounts of low-star follower cards to expand the Divine Kingdom population and optimize the Bloodline structure.

Both sides would get what they needed!

"Moreover, I can also make a profit from it. It's simply perfect!" The more Fang Chuan thought about it, the more he felt this plan was feasible.

As for the converted Five-star Believers, whether to keep them in the Divine Kingdom or hand them over to the military, the initiative was entirely in his hands.

Of course, he couldn't be too extreme; the contributions that should be made still had to be made.

"That's what I'll do!"

After making up his mind, Fang Chuan decided not to rush to contact General Wei Zheng.

He prepared to leave the Divine Kingdom first to handle some matters in the real world.

After all, he was about to report to the Zhenxi Army and start a one-year Demigod war zone mission. Once he left, he wouldn't be back for at least a year or so.

There were some friends he should meet and say goodbye to.

Especially Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan.

"Chaozi and his parents have been very good to me. Before I leave this time, I must treat them to a meal and deliver the gifts I promised earlier."

"And there's Liu Ruyan... Her 'Extraordinary Fertility' talent is tailor-made for cultivating high-tier followers. Chaozi is interested in her, too. If I could pull both of them into my Divine Soldier Legion, that would be even better."

Fang Chuan began to calculate.

Currently, he was the only commander of the Divine Soldier Legion. Although Deputy Commander Luo Li was strong, he was a brigadier general after all, held multiple positions, and couldn't do everything personally.

He needed a team he could truly trust.

Zhang Chao was righteous, and his talent was the S-grade "Many Children, Many Blessings". In the future, there was a high probability that he could breed high-star followers; he was a natural fierce general.

Liu Ruyan was meticulous, had a unique talent, and was a perfect logistics support.

The two of them were simply a match made in heaven.

"If I could trick... ah no, invite them in, my legion would have two core members."

Thinking of this, Fang Chuan no longer hesitated. He withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Kingdom, stood up from the sofa, and prepared to go out to find Zhang Chao and the others.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan walking over from the end of the corridor, chatting and laughing.

The two were carrying bags of all sizes, looking like they had just returned from shopping.

"Hey, Chuanzi!" Zhang Chao had sharp eyes and saw Fang Chuan at a glance, waving his hand happily.

Seeing Fang Chuan, Liu Ruyan also smiled and nodded.

Looking at the two of them being so intimate, Fang Chuan felt happy inside.

"Good heavens, this progress is fast!"

"You brat, where did you run off to this morning? You didn't even reply to my messages." Zhang Chao walked over and punched Fang Chuan on the shoulder.

"Had some business, went to the military department." Fang Chuan smiled, his eyes sweeping over the bags in their hands, "Yo, quite a haul, huh? Did you move the whole mall back here?"

Liu Ruyan was a bit embarrassed by his gaze, her pretty face turning even redder, as she whispered in explanation: "No, just bought some daily necessities."

"Understood, understood, couples, shopping and buying things together, it's normal." Fang Chuan teased, winking.

"Go away! We are just ordinary friends!" Zhang Chao's old face flushed, and although he was retorting, the corners of his mouth stretching to his ears betrayed his true thoughts.

Fang Chuan laughed and stopped teasing them.

"Perfect, it's noon already, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go, my treat, let's go out to eat and chat while we eat."
