Chapter 290: Summarizing the Harvest! The Crown of the Decaying King! A Conceptual Divine Skill (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Although the Divine Grace Barrier was shattered and an ancient giant of the corrupt church was killed, the Celebration of Abundance was not over yet.
After the bounty, the elimination of evil, and the bestowal of grace, there is a final process of sending off the saints.
If you invite a god, you must then send him off.
Even divine marks should be treated with utmost care.
Otherwise, it can easily cause big problems. For example, if the spirit of abundance is too active, it will cause crops to grow wildly, eventually depleting the soil nutrients of the entire fertile plain, and even preying on living things.
After the living creatures have eaten all the food, different crops will devour each other in order to survive, giving rise to a large amount of dark abundance and giving birth to a large number of pests.
Unrestrained abundance can also turn into disaster.
However, all of this is still within a controllable range; the most serious issue is...
If a problem arises, the Son, Daughter, and Priests will have to repeat the opening of the altar and the offering of the tassel ceremony.
This is going to be the death of a bunch of lazy dogs!
So Feng Yu, the High Priestess of Abundance, who looked like a newlywed young woman, had already gone back to get her beauty sleep, leaving all the work to her subordinates.
Chao Bingyan was also relieved that Lu Yu had acted with discretion. When using the statue of the God of Abundance, he only used up the essence of the Pope's carving without damaging it, so it could continue to serve as the core of the ritual.
boom!
So he waved his hand, and the ancient horseshoe crab gathered a large amount of rice grains to rebuild the altar of abundance.
The holy son Miao Feng beats the drum of harvest, and the holy maiden Chu Qingluan dances the "Holy Ear of Rice Dance". The five-colored ears of rice in her hands sway, and every move carries the wild beauty of primitive shamanistic ritual.
hum!
Abundant spiritual energy surged, and countless golden streams of energy converged in the sky, transforming into a golden rain that began to repair all the damaged fields.
Many crops were broken and rotten due to the aftermath of the battle, but in these raindrops, they were cleansed of the polluted psionic energy, turned into mud, and nourished even more crops.
It presents a thriving scene!
Although the scenery was beautiful, the others had different thoughts and were not interested in appreciating it at all. They just wanted to go back as soon as possible and report what had happened here.
After all, Luo Zisong, the former corrupt holy son, not only ascended to the Radiant Moon realm, but also washed away his past shame by stepping over the corpse of a corrupt church giant, and made a powerful comeback.
It will inevitably trigger a major earthquake.
We need to prepare in advance and see if we can win them over!
"Very smooth!" Lu Yu stood by the altar, watching the dance with great interest, occasionally offering a few comments.
only……
Why is this girl staring at me?
That look in her eyes wasn't just moist, it was almost like she was about to thicken with cornstarch.
Lu Yu couldn't understand the other party's thoughts. Although the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of Abundance were just colleagues, there was indeed a strange sense of immorality about it.
Lu Yu smiled and gestured with his eyes to indicate that he didn't mind being offered something to someone.
We always adhere to the three principles of not taking initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility.
Try the taste of the saint.
Unfortunately, Chu Qingluan did not take any action until the end of the ceremony; her smile simply became even more gentle.
But Lu Yu felt...
This woman seems more like she wants to raise fish!
Get out of here, you wicked woman!
Miao Feng, on the other hand, left work right on time and ran off in a flash.
We won't give capitalists a single minute to make money!
"It's time to go back."
Lu Yu originally wanted to hop on Luo Zisong's bird... oh no, now it's a crane, and go back together, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
"Huh?"
The crane raised its long neck in bewilderment.
Why not bring Lu Yu?
It also wanted him to try out its new riding methods, such as a large bed made of crane feathers, which was very big, soft, and comfortable.
As for Luo Zisong...
He's too old to sleep on a soft bed!
In fact, Hengding Crane has always admired Lu Yu and is grateful to him for helping her transform from that ugly appearance back to her current beautiful form.
They viewed him as a promising junior, and now they consider him their pride.
As for Luo Zisong, although Hengding Crane outwardly dislikes him, they are more like an old married couple. Even the slightest bit of intimacy can make her feel disgusted for a long time, but when faced with a life-or-death crisis, she will stand by his side without hesitation.
Although Luo Zisong understood this, he couldn't help feeling jealous. Moreover, the "little blondie" in front of him had an impressive track record, and this time he had even gotten his hands on a statue of an ally. He had to be vigilant.
So he coughed lightly and said righteously, "You have your own bird now, so you should spend more time with it. The main problem is that this incident has caused quite a stir, and the Luo family in the capital will probably come looking for me, which will likely be quite troublesome."
Seeing that Hengding Crane still wanted to say something, Luo Zisong quickly added, "In addition to the ability of [Two Elements Eternal Millstone], it not only has the ability to restrain the corrupt church, but also abundance is a part of Hengding."
"You mean, the Church of Abundance is going to cause you trouble?" Lu Yu frowned slightly.
"Not at all, because they're too lazy... well, too laid-back!" Luo Zisong shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, the High Priest of Abundance, Feng Yu, may look like a young woman, but she's a shrewd person who has lived for a long time and has already seen through the problem."
However, they are a righteous church, giving me the choice: either join the Church of Abundance or join the alliance, as long as we don't become enemies... But all of this will have to wait until I meet with Pope Abundance."
When Lu Yu heard this name, the first thing that came to mind was the legendary features of a face with three hollow holes and a shape resembling entwined rice ears.
Unlike some minor cults of evil gods, the popes of these top churches are said to be the closest to God!
They are the agents of divine authority!
The statue of the god of fertility appears to be a replica based on the pope's image. However, Lu Yu didn't reveal any secrets about the god of fertility. Instead, he was quite curious about something else and asked:
"Was she really the most beautiful woman a thousand years ago? Why does the statue seem a bit... "
"Are you out of your mind! How dare you speak ill of a supreme being who is infinitely close to a true king? You should know that the followers of the Church of Abundance are not most famous for their laziness, but for their pettiness. After all, they have plenty of time to settle scores with you after they've had their fill!"
Luo Zisong shuddered, quickly interrupting Lu Yu. He looked around and, relieved to find no one from the Church of Abundance, breathed a sigh of relief. Then he leaned close to Lu Yu and whispered:
"Actually, I don't know either. Feng Xiao did tell me it's really good. I'll tell you when I see it, hehe!"
The two exchanged a smile and discussed beautiful women and political matters—it's in a man's nature.
Especially the latter, no matter what topic starts in the boys' dormitory, it will eventually come down to politics.
Luo Zisong was also afraid that Lu Yu would say something surprising again, so he directly asked Hengding Crane to take him away.
Lu Yu smiled and watched him leave. In this way, he could be considered to have a helper at the Radiant Moon level.
He rode the Three Calamities Peacock, amidst the splendid display of the rat's tail feathers, with three-colored divine light sweeping through the air, and returned to the dormitory assigned to him by the Imperial University.
As soon as he got home, the mouse transformed back into its original form, rode the Soul Cloud and dashed straight to its "granary," where it, like a hero, blocked a greedy, hungry dragon—Egg.
The mouse said coldly, "Your budget for this week was used up on the first day. This money was all saved up by me through hard work."
"roar!"
Egg opened its mouth and spat out a torrent of bloody gas, almost blowing the mouse away. Dragon's eyes, clear like a college student's, held a hint of stupidity. It indicated that it couldn't understand what the mouse was saying and quickly launched a charge, attempting to snatch the snacks.
"You audacious dragon, today I, the mouse, will slay you!"
The real rat roared angrily, and was then swiftly suppressed.
Then the first incarnation went into battle, but was quickly defeated due to bloodline suppression. The second incarnation was banned by Lu Yu because the scope of the Heavenly Calamity Divine Light was too wide.
This battle to protect the snacks ended in defeat for the mouse. In the end, it could only sign a humiliating treaty, pay ten bags of potato chips as compensation, and drive away Egg.
However, it was actually somewhat relieved that this silly dragon was quite easy to fool!
"That silly hamster..."
Lu Yu, who was watching the scene unfold, couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little sorry for the rat.
Egg may seem to take less, but it actually consumes CPU. It can conquer one city today and ten cities tomorrow, and then sleep soundly for a night, making it seem like grabbing snacks is a matter of course.
The bottom line is crumbling little by little like this!
"I wonder when Mouse will realize that he's actually the dumbest one in the team. Otherwise, with internal and external troubles, Mouse Bank will collapse soon. By then, he'll probably be hung on a street lamp by the angry worker mice."
Just as Lu Yu was pondering, Little Spider, dressed as a maid, brought out today's dinner.
Ergot!
This is a local specialty snack from the place where Lu Yu lived in his previous life. Legend has it that it was used to prevent accidents and unforeseen events during dragon lantern dances.
The method is very simple: roll out round wrappers with flour, then put in fillings such as shredded radish, wood ear mushrooms and minced meat, pickled mustard greens and tofu, winter bamboo shoots, etc., fold them in half to wrap them up. They are a bit like dumplings, but much larger and not completely sealed. A little gap is left to prevent the inside from bursting when baking due to thermal expansion and contraction. Then, fry them in a little oil until golden brown.
It exudes a captivating fragrance!
Lu Yu remembered that he had only mentioned it casually, that he missed the delicious food he had eaten in the past, and that he had almost forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, the little spider remembered everything and helped him fulfill each and every one of them.
What an adorable little angel!
"Good girl!"
Lu Yu patted the little spider's head and wiped the flour off its silver hair. The spider smiled and rubbed its cheek against its owner's palm.
Its owner is its whole world; as long as the owner is happy, the little spider feels that everything becomes bright and cheerful.
Lu Yu asked with a smile, "What kind of filling is it today?"
"Waaaaah!"
Fillings: pickled mustard greens and winter bamboo shoots, and green beans.
Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction. Actually, malt should be eaten with congee with preserved egg and lean pork, but since there were no preserved eggs at home, it would be better to use the more premium bronze millet.
So, as usual, he cooked a large pot of it, then called out the Gluttony Cauldron, which he hadn't seen for days, and chanted a mysterious incantation:
"stick up!"
"..."
The Gluttony Cauldron felt insulted, turned away in anger, and then...
The lid was lifted up.
Never mind, human lifespan is very short.
Just bear with it and it will pass!
Lu Yu traded a few nail clippings for a brand new buff.
【Extraordinary and Brilliant】
It can double the speed of mental and physical recovery and spiritual energy absorption, lasting for 24 hours.
Great, perfect for extra training in Nightmare Prison! After he finished upgrading his food, he found that Little Spider, Mouse, Egg, and Paper Knight were already sitting at the table, obediently waiting for dinner.
Lu Yu smiled and divided the food equally among the four pets. When it was the rat's turn, the two avatars, the Radiant Red Dragon Ant and the Three Calamities Peacock, jumped out from behind it, indicating that they wanted some too.
The mouse sat on the soul cloud, looking smug.
By giving up just a little bit of profit, we can get three times the amount of food, making up for the loss of potato chips!
This is the wisdom of the Rat Emperor!
However... to the mouse's bewildered gaze, Lu Yu divided its portion into three smaller portions, then praised the mouse for being sensible, knowing to share with its clone.
Playing the rules against the referee, what a foolish hamster!
"I..." The mouse was speechless, and when it turned its head, it saw the other two mouse clones starting to eat voraciously.
This time,
It's like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
The mouse immediately became withdrawn and ended up drawing circles in a corner.
It was only when the little spider shared half of its share with the mouse that it stopped crying and started laughing.
Lu Yu shook his head, took a bite of the wheat cake with anticipation, and froze. It was actually filled with water chestnuts.
Lu Yu doesn't like to eat it, but the hamster does.
After the little spider enters its spirit-corrosion form, a side effect is that it will involuntarily lie, and it probably forgot about it itself.
"I was careless!"
Lu Yu shook his head, swallowed silently, and after finishing his meal, he began to organize his findings.
The first item was a legendary quality left behind by the ancient giant of the corrupt church. Before leaving, Luo Zisong gave it to Lu Yu, and it was then extracted as material.
【Corruption of the World (Six-Star Beginner): Originating from the Eternal Sun-Rank Aberration of the Church of Corruption, which was killed by the Two Elements Eternal Millstone, the remaining legendary traits were transformed through the blessing left by the God of Corruption.
Possessing the power to decay all things, controlling rotten creatures, and transforming to the extreme, it can erode the world's barriers and laws, causing all ignorance and corruption to turn into mud along with all living beings, which can then become nutrients for their growth.
It can be used as an advanced secret food for the Corruption type, or it can be used to make the legendary-tier skill secret food "Rope of Corruption".
"Legendary traits, in a sense, are essentially the materialized form of legendary skills!"
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, gaining an intuitive understanding of the legendary traits based on the Eye of Truth's explanation.
No wonder the pet of an ancient giant with potential would inevitably possess a legendary skill, after all, it is a fragment of the rules!
However, possessing legendary abilities does not necessarily mean one has the potential to become an eternal giant. For example, the mouse possesses the legendary skill [Destiny's Protection].
Because it is a fate-based ability, it does not match its own attributes. However, if the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree were to evolve to the legendary level, it would definitely have the potential to become an ancient giant, and not just an ordinary giant cub.
However, potential is not everything; it only represents the level that can be achieved through normal growth.
Poor training can actually diminish a pet's potential, preventing it from reaching the average level. Conversely, good training can help a pet break through its potential and reach a higher level.
This refers to the similarity between legendary traits and legendary skills, not that they are the same thing, or rather...
Only when a legendary skill, which contains a fragment of the law, is advanced to the Eternal Blazing Sun Rank, will it reveal its true power.
Those beings without legendary skills, whether beast tamers or monsters, can undergo continuous transformation, receive the Mother River's blessing, and transform a part of themselves into legendary traits.
The essence is to allow oneself to contain a small fragment of the law!
Therefore, the more powerful the laws of the source, the more powerful the legendary qualities born from them!
This made Lu Yu quite excited, after all, among his pet beasts, Egg's two legendary skills came from the Red of Life, the Mother of Twilight, and the Law of Reincarnation, respectively; the Rat's true form came from the Law of Fate; the Three Calamities Peacock was born from a natural disaster; and the Paper Knight was related to the Paper God.
Although the little spider doesn't have any legendary skills, it has two and a half legendary abilities: [Void Seal] and [Spirit King Curse Line]. Once it advances to legendary status, these abilities will correspond to the void and the curse.
Lu Yu put it away and looked at the second piece of spoils.
That is, along with the remaining divine grace.
The God of Abundance's technique was intended to enhance Luo Zisong's strength, but Lu Yu was worried about Fu Suo's tenacious vitality, so he kept a backup plan just to be on the safe side.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zisong's restraint on corruption was far more effective than anticipated, thus preserving the God of Corruption's method.
Because the two divine gifts could not be merged, Lu Yu, after careful consideration, transformed them into a secret treasure.
In appearance, it is a black and gold crown composed of nine abundant rice ears, with an eight-winged, decaying ouroboros wrapped around it, looking ancient and mysterious.
[The Crown of Decay: Originating from the mark of the God of Corruption, transformed after receiving nine stalks of blessed rice, it is built upon corruption and nourished by abundance. It comes from an ancient "Decaying Dynasty" once blessed by both abundance and corruption, and was once worn by a mysterious being. Now, it has been awakened from history once more, and two skills have been solidified within it.]
【Skill: Shadow of Abundance (Can use the accumulated dark abundance power to forcibly simulate the reflection of dark abundance in one's body for one minute.)
During this process, it is immune to physical attacks and can transfer a high-level attack from the Radiant Moon to the Dark Abundance rules.
However, each use requires an interval of more than six hours. Continuous use will cause the Dark Abundance rules to erode the physical body, and further pollute the spirit and soul.
Golden Wind and Jade Dew (Once upon a decaying crown, it also possessed the blessings bestowed by the God of Abundance, capable of accumulating highly concentrated Abundance Power. Every week, you can use the divine spell—Golden Wind and Jade Dew—to shorten the growth cycle of all plants and increase their yield.)
Both skills are top-tier divine skills!
The Shadow of Abundance can forcefully block high-level skills of the Radiant Moon, and if used properly, it can allow for a safe retreat or even turn the tide of battle.
Another seemingly ordinary description, however, Lu Yu noticed that it didn't just refer to crops, but also used the word "everything".
In other words, it is likely that it can be effective on extraordinary plants.
If you acquire another wood-type avatar or pet in the future, it can accelerate their growth.
In addition, another guess came to Lu Yu's mind.
Just do it!
Overwhelmed with excitement, he willingly put on the crown, which fit perfectly, releasing a powerful aura.
Then, Lu Yu summoned the phantom of the ranch. Looking at the scattered grass in the ranch, he saw that most of it had been eaten, leaving the ground looking bare.
This caused him great distress, so he used the [Golden Wind and Jade Dew] skill on the ranch.
Splash!
As the golden raindrops fell, the soul grass in the pasture instantly grew rapidly. The grass, which had previously been only half-grown, quickly grew back to its original shape and even became taller and more lush!
Even the lotus leaves in the pond where the sleeping giant toad was located expanded along with it, almost overflowing, and raised its bloated body a bit higher.
"...Coo...quack..."
But the sleeping giant toad remained languid, indifferent to what was happening in the outside world, and simply continued to secrete toad oil.
"Woof woof woof!"
Each day it let out excited roars, constantly praising its master's divine power.
"It really works!" Lu Yu exclaimed with delight.
Who says that the pasture of the soul isn't a plant?
This is definitely a concept-based skill!
As long as it conforms to the concept of plants, catalysis can be forced!
While it's impossible to create something from nothing, it can make the soul pasture grow taller, indirectly saving Lu Yu's expenses.
Although it can only be used once a week, you can then dedicate more souls to the Staff of the Dust Walker, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, and the City of Reincarnation!
"As expected, apart from the God of Poverty, all the other gods can help me get rich!" Lu Yu thought to himself.
Because the [Rotten Crown]'s abilities do not carry obvious characteristics of the two major churches, he plans to have Rat change the crown's appearance and leave it for his disciples or other avatars to use.
The third item, naturally, is the constant feather.
【The Feather of Eternity (Six-Star): Born from the intertwining of fertility and corruption rituals, the Eternal Beast—the Eternal Crane—is born after achieving eternity and possesses the power to balance all things.
You can only give away the Feather of Eternity once in your lifetime. It can be used to restore a person or item to its original peak state after suffering a great injury in a short period of time. It can also withstand a blow from a low-level Ancient Giant. It can be used a maximum of three times.
It can be used to create Abundance, Corruption, Stagnation, and Evolutionary Foods that balance the two extreme powers. It can also be used to create the skill "Stabilizing Celestial Light." Once mastered, as long as one is not instantly killed and still has spiritual energy, one can remain in a state of perpetual peak condition.
"As expected of the Constant Beast that the corrupt Pope has always dreamed of, its ability is a nightmare for any beast of its kind!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel and prepared to use it as a base to create the Paper Knight's Evolution Secret Food.
As for the direction of evolution... he already had a concept in mind, but he was still lacking some key materials.
In addition, the thrifty little spider also snatched some fragments of the Dark Abundance Mother Nest, which the Void Mother Nest has already swallowed and digested the laws contained within them.
Although no special abilities or unit types were created, the breeding capacity was greatly enhanced, raising the unit type ceiling.
The number of bloodworms has increased to 2000.
Blinking Spiders - 700.
Moon Spiders - 100 in total.
The insectoid army has already taken shape and has even developed intelligence. Different insectoid swarms have begun to communicate with each other and exchange the resources they need.
It's like they're evolving from savages into a primitive civilization!
"Eek!"
The little spider spoke up and told Lu Yu an extra surprise.
In fact, once the beast lord system's slave beasts reach a certain scale, the slave beasts they lead become powerful, and the places they inhabit are essentially equivalent to a complete ecosystem.
Since there is an ecosystem, there will be food chains.
With the collision of a large number of spiritual beings, just like in the Peach Pig ecosystem that Lu Yu created, a large number of Peach Blossom Frogs would give birth to Ghost Face Curse Frogs, and there is a chance to give birth to special and powerful individuals.
In the Beastmaster system, this has a specific term – Hero Unit.
During the previous Battle of Dayuan City, among the Thunder-Eating Insect Dynasty summoned by Situ Kong, there appeared Thunder-Eating Insect Generals with powerful physiques and unparalleled bravery, as well as Thunder-Eating Insect Scholars who could assist the Insect King in expanding his mental network and commanding the swarm, and so on.
They emerged from countless insect swarms, thus possessing extremely high potential, which is why they were chosen as subsequent pet contracts.
Generally speaking, a swarm of enslaved beasts requires more than 10,000 members. If it is a swarm of insects, because the individuals are weak, it requires at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of members to have a chance.
Unexpectedly, hero units were spawned ahead of schedule from the spider swarm!
This must be inseparable from the help of the Dark Abundance Mother Nest!
"Is the little spider's insect kingdom about to begin?"
Lu Yu, filled with anticipation, had the little spider summon this special insect beast.
With a "crack", the purple void rift opened.
Just the figure that walked out,
But it wasn't quite what he had imagined.
