98: Chapter 98 Time to Head to the Demigod War Zone
Since the eight Fortune are so powerful, I must grind them to the limit!
In the Demi-god stage, the Rank cap for followers is 200.
After Fei Yi and the others crossed level 100, the required experience skyrocketed to an exaggerated level.
Even with a 130x experience boost, rushing to level 200 would require continuously clearing high-tier Vicious Beast groups, taking at least ten days or so.
Although there are many Vicious Beasts in the Divine Kingdom world, their distribution is very uneven; it is unclear whether Fang Chuan's luck is good or bad, but the number of Vicious Beasts entrenched around Fang Chuan's Divine Kingdom is limited, yet they generally reach the King Rank.
The Materials they drop are extremely valuable, but the experience provided is hard to sustain the continuous leveling of ten level-100 Holy Angel.
To level up quickly, one must go to battle in more distant regions, or plunder other Divine Kingdoms, or simply go to the Demigod War Zone to hunt those otherworldly gods!
However, Fang Chuan is not in a hurry; his Divine Kingdom is still in a period of rapid development, and he has plenty of resources and time.
He decided to first take stock of his current assets.
Looking at that long string of zeros that almost dazzled the eyes, Fang Chuan felt exceptionally happy.
Counting the compound interest on his original faith points and the ten trillion in startup capital allocated by the military, the faith points in his account officially crossed the thirteen trillion mark.
The daily interest alone is 1.3 trillion, and adding the faith points provided by followers—forget it, the faith points generated by followers are almost negligible compared to his daily interest.
Now looking at the followers.
After this period of crazy expansion and synthesis, the total number of followers under his command has developed to a terrifying 4.2 million.
Among them, those whose faith Rank reached the "Saint" level exceeded 300,000.
Followers with a Rank exceeding 100 exceeded 2,000.
Followers with a Rank exceeding 50, reaching the Demi-god Rank, exceeded 220,000!
Just the high-tier Holy Angel races alone number 27, and the number of five-star Holy Angel race followers exceeds 27,000!
In addition, under the 100x time acceleration of the Temple of Time and Space, one day is equivalent to a hundred years in the Divine Kingdom.
The various rare divine herbs planted inside are maturing continuously, and then sent into the SS-Rank building [Qiankun Pill Furnace] that Fang Chuan spent a lot of money to buy, to be refined into Medicinal Pill that can directly improve the attributes of followers.
His follower legion is becoming stronger at a terrifying speed every moment.
The development of the Divine Kingdom is stable and rapid, and everything is thriving.
After exiting the Divine Kingdom, Fang Chuan prepared to check on the situation of Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan.
"With five billion thrown in, there should be some movement, right."
Fang Chuan rubbed his chin.
"It is time to let them trade up and go see the world with me."
When Fang Chuan arrived at the place where the two were, he happened to see them exiting seclusion, and the Demi-god flame mark on their foreheads was very obvious.
They finally achieved a Breakthrough to Demi-god.
Come to think of it, he didn't even have Divine Kingdom talent and could reach the Demi-god Breakthrough with just a few hundred million; now that they have high-level combatants and resources, if they still couldn't reach the Demi-god Breakthrough, these two guys might as well hang themselves.
"Boss, you have also exited seclusion?" Zhang Chao was the first to see Fang Chuan and hurriedly stepped forward to say.
"Hmm, achieved a Breakthrough to Demi-god?" Fang Chuan nodded and said.
"Achieved the Breakthrough last night; if it weren't for those five billion of yours, it would probably have taken another week!"
Fang Chuan got straight to the point: "Very good, since you have achieved a Breakthrough to Demi-god, then next you should rest, and we will go directly to the Demigod War Zone."
Liu Ruyan's small face turned slightly pale: "The Demigod War Zone? Fang Chuan, so soon? We just achieved the Breakthrough; will we hold you back?"
Zhang Chao also followed up: "Yeah, Brother Chuan, I heard from my dad that the place is very dangerous; even a Peak Demi-god could fall there."
Although he said it was dangerous, his eyes were shining.
"Danger is certain." Fang Chuan nodded, "But the returns are equally huge. You have just achieved a Breakthrough to Demi-god, your Foundation is unstable, and the Divine Kingdom also needs more resources to expand; the Demigod War Zone is the best choice."
"Hold me back? That won't happen." Fang Chuan smiled.
He looked at the two and said slowly: "You are the first batch of core members of the Divine Soldier Legion. I am taking you there to let you get resources, accumulate battle merits, and experience the real battlefield."
"Just follow behind and pick things up." Fang Chuan said it lightly.
Pick things up?
Go to the Demigod War Zone to pick things up?
Is the Boss joking?
Looking at the two's confused expressions, Fang Chuan did not explain further.
Some things, no matter how much you say, are not as shocking as letting them see it with their own eyes once.
"Alright, don't overthink it." Fang Chuan stood up, "I'll give you half a day; go back to consolidate your Realm and organize your Divine Kingdom. We leave tomorrow morning."
Half a day passed in a flash.
When Fang Chuan returned to the Divine Soldier Legion headquarters again, Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan were already waiting there.
Both of them had changed into the dark gold combat uniforms specially made by the Zhenxi Military Region, their expressions were solemn, and their Demi-god aura had completely stabilized.
It was evident that they had not wasted this half-day.
"Ready?" Fang Chuan asked.
"Report, Commander! Ready to depart at any time!" Zhang Chao straightened his back and saluted like a soldier, but the movement was a bit funny, drawing an eye-roll from Liu Ruyan.
"Let's go."
He didn't say any more nonsense and led the two out of the headquarters building directly.
A black military hovercar was already waiting at the entrance, and the driver was Brigadier General Luo Li.
Seeing the three of them come out, Brigadier General Luo Li immediately got out of the car and opened the door.
"Major General Fang, everything is arranged. The space portal directly to the front-line command post of the Western War Zone has the highest authority specially approved by General Wei Zheng." Brigadier General Luo Li reported.
"Thank you for your hard work, Regiment Commander Luo." Fang Chuan nodded and took the two into the car.
The hovercar started silently and drove towards the most core area of the Zhenxi Military Region headquarters.
With Fang Chuan's current strength, his application to go to the Demigod War Zone was approved directly by General Wei Zheng.
Along the way, Zhang Chao appeared exceptionally excited, like a curious baby, constantly examining the heavily guarded military facilities outside through the car window.
Liu Ruyan was much quieter; she just sat quietly, but her slightly clenched fists exposed her inner unrest.
About to head to the legendary Demigod War Zone, it was impossible to say she wasn't nervous at all.
Soon, the hovercar stopped in front of a huge, pyramid-like building.
This is the space teleportation center of the Zhenxi Military Region.
After the three of them got off the car, led by Brigadier General Luo Li, they walked into an independent teleportation room.
In the center of the teleportation room was a huge magic array composed of countless complex runes; the space in the center of the array presented a water-like distorted state, emitting a dazzling silver light.
Around the array stood rows of soldiers wearing silver armor; each of them was actually a god, and judging by their Divine Fire marks, each was a 5th-Rank god!
"Major General Fang, please." Brigadier General Luo Li made a gesture of invitation.
Fang Chuan nodded and walked into the teleportation array first.
Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan looked at each other, took a deep breath, and followed.
When the three stood steady in the center of the array, the 5th-Rank god guards around the teleportation array raised their hands simultaneously, pouring Divine Power into the array patterns, and silver-white spatial ripples spread rapidly.
"Target: Western War Zone, coordinates 734, 551, front-line Base Zero."
"Spatial anchor point locked."
"Energy injection starting, ten, nine, eight..."
As the countdown ended, the entire teleportation array suddenly lit up with a blinding white light.
Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan only felt their vision blur, and a powerful spatial pulling force came, making them feel dizzy.
When they recovered their vision again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar environment.
This was a huge underground cave; on the dome of the cave were inlaid countless crystals emitting soft light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
The air was filled with a rich smell of sulfur and blood.
People were coming and going all around, and everyone had a powerful Divine Power fluctuation on them; without exception, they were all Demi-gods!
They even felt several terrifying auras far exceeding those of Demi-gods; that was the pressure belonging to True God powerhouses!
"Is this... the Demigod War Zone?" Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, her eyes full of shock.
Looking around, there were Demi-gods in a hurry everywhere.
Some were repairing battle-damaged equipment, some were trading supplies, and some were in groups of three or five, discussing tactics together.
The entire base was like a huge beehive composed of Demi-gods, operating nervously and orderly.
"Welcome to Base Zero, Major General Fang."
A loud voice came.
The three looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with one eye, wearing a general's uniform with a gold star on his shoulder, walking towards them with a Strut.
The man's aura was incomparably powerful, surprisingly a high-tier god!
"I am the commander of Base Zero, Xin Zhao." The one-eyed man walked in front of Fang Chuan, saluted, and then reached out his hand, "General Wei Zheng has already greeted us in advance. Your Divine Soldier Legion is highly valued by the higher-ups."
Fang Chuan raised his hand to return the salute.
The moment their palms clasped, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded over the base.
"Warning!"
"Warning!"
"Canyon No. 7 has encountered an ambush by an alien Demi-god legion, the base has suffered heavy damage, please nearby Demi-gods proceed to support!"
