Chapter 323: Chapter 236: Next Month’s Divine Domain Card; The Divine Kingdom’s First Large-Scale Reincarnation
Even after seven full days of battle in the Divine Realm, Zhang Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit tired.
Returning to his room, the first thing Zhang Yi did was log into the Divine Domain Connection Pod!
[System]: Logging into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...
[System]: Identity verification successful...
[System]: Your consciousness is now descending into your Divine Realm...
[System]: Welcome, great God of Nature, to your Divine Realm!
Zhang Yi’s consciousness arrived in his Divine Realm.
He was no longer in the public pod room, using one of the Divine Domain Connection Pods equipped with recording functions. By logging into the Divine Realm via the pod in his own room, Zhang Yi could finally let his Clan hold a grand sacrificial ceremony!
When Zhang Yi logged into his Divine Realm, it was daytime.
After the great battle where a Vampire Army of over one hundred thousand attacked the War Fortress, the fortress painstakingly built by the Dwarf Clan did not fall into post-war ruin. Instead, it radiated with even more vigorous life!
The battle had served as a true test, confirming that the War Fortress—the first line of defense on the eastern side of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm—was indeed effective. Since the fortress built by the Dwarf Clan had been damaged in the great war, Elf Queen An Nobel immediately approved a batch of resources for them.
This batch of resources was not only enough to completely repair the damaged sections of the Dwarf War Fortress, but could even support its further expansion.
However, after the Divine Realm’s expansion and the massive haul of spoils from defeating the Vampire Clan, it was no longer a lack of resources that limited the Dwarf War Fortress’s expansion. Instead, the limiting factor was the size of the Dwarf Clan itself.
As the second Clan to join the Divine Realm, the Dwarf Clan could be considered veterans.
But the growth of the Dwarf Clan in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm could only be described as extremely slow!
The Dwarf Clan first arrived in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm because he had used a serendipity-type Divine Domain Card given to him by his high school homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing.
It was a Four-Star Fate-type Divine Domain Card—[A Fated Encounter].
That card had allowed Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm in Subspace to briefly connect with another floating continent, from which he recruited his first batch of Mountain Dwarves.
But the number of Mountain Dwarves he recruited at that time wasn’t large.
Even with every single Mountain Dwarf coming to his Divine Realm without exception, Zhang Yi had only managed to gather a Dwarf Clan of nearly two hundred.
Later, by the time of the final exams organized by Golden City No.1 Middle School, the Dwarf Clan in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had only naturally grown to three hundred members.
After that, during the final exams, Zhang Yi conquered the entire Moonlight Forest and absorbed all the wandering Dwarf Tribes within it, which finally allowed the Dwarf Clan in his Divine Realm to surpass one thousand members!
Since then, no new Dwarf Clans have been added to Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm.
That was why, even now,
the Dwarf Clan in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had only grown to two thousand through natural reproduction.
Even the Goblin-related Five-star Divine Domain Card that Zhang Yi loaded after entering the University Alliance Training Camp and passing the Yanhuang Federation’s second assessment had instantly boosted his Goblin Clan to ten thousand members, allowing them to surpass the Dwarf Clan in a single stroke.
The Dwarf Clan, originally the second to join the Zhang Yi Divine Realm, had been overtaken by the Goblin Clan, who were the third.
This settled it. Zhang Yi now knew what kind of Divine Domain Card he wanted to load in April!
As for why Zhang Yi chose to increase the Dwarf Clan instead of the Goblin Clan during the assessment for nurturing a new Clan,
the reason was very simple!
On one hand, the previous batch of the Goblin Clan had yet to fully master all the technology of the [Goblin Mage Technology City].
Their integration with the Dwarf and Elf Clans was still in an adjustment period, so there was little point in increasing the number of Goblins again.
At most, it would only boost one of the six major criteria: the growth in the new Clan’s population.
But even without using a Divine Domain Card,
the short-lived Goblins could achieve population growth simply through their own reproduction, especially compared to a long-lived clan like the Elves.
As for climbing the tech tree,
the Magical Cannon 2.0 in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had yet to be perfected, and the Dwarf Flintlock Gun hadn’t been modified to his desired specifications. They hadn’t even grasped the most fundamental sciences of the Magical Civilization, so continuing to climb the tech tree would only increase the burden on the Goblin Clan.
Although they had Goblin Great Sage Norton, a Hero of the Goblin Clan,
the sage was completely overwhelmed. On one hand, he was responsible for the Magical Cannon’s R&D project. On the other, he had to learn an entirely new and complete system of civilization from scratch, abandoning the fragmented knowledge he had previously pieced together.
Then, once he understood it himself,
he also had to compile that knowledge into a simpler, more systematic form that the other Clans could learn.
For this research-oriented Hero, Goblin Great Sage Norton had been working day and night without rest for over two years since arriving in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm!
Therefore, adding more members to the Dwarf Clan next month might actually help the Goblin Clan advance their research on the Magical Cannon project and relieve some of Goblin Great Sage Norton’s workload.
Moreover, Zhang Yi hadn’t forgotten about Effect Five of the [Rune Blacksmith] Profession he had loaded into his Divine Realm.
When the number of Clan members who had mastered the [Rune Blacksmith] Profession exceeded one thousand, a choice between Logistics and War would appear.
