Chapter 324: Chapter 236: The Divine Domain Card for Next Month; The Divine Kingdom’s First Large-Scale Reincarnation
Zhang Yi was also curious.
What new changes would occur for the [Rune Blacksmith], already a High Level Profession, after making a choice?
Perhaps a [Rune Blacksmith] who chose the Logistics path could be of great help to Goblin Great Sage Norton’s research projects!
After all, laying the foundation for a Magical Civilization wasn’t the task of the Goblin Clan alone; it was a shared mission and goal for all three Clans in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm!
Because the Dwarf Clan’s War Fortress had intercepted the entire Vampire invasion, the rear of Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm had suffered no losses whatsoever.
The farming on the Harvest Plain continued uninterrupted,
and to the west, the sounds of machinery from the [City of Magical Technology] roared day and night.
After clearing the Vampire Clan corpses from outside the War Fortress and sorting the Steel Armor and Weapons, the entire Divine Realm, guided by Elf High Priest Shamiel, fell into an atmosphere of post-war victory and bustling activity!
Seeing this, Zhang Yi nodded.
With Elf High Priest Shamiel’s help, his burden of managing the faith and affairs of the Clans in his Divine Realm was reduced by at least 90%.
Zhang Yi sent a new Oracle to Elf High Priest Shamiel.
"Tonight, we will hold a grand ritual. The location will be the Harvest Plain."
"Before the grand ritual, I will guide the Clansmen who died in the recent holy war into the Divine Kingdom and grant them rebirth!"
Upon hearing Zhang Yi’s words, Elf High Priest Shamiel immediately knelt.
"Thank you for your grace, My God!"
"May all Clansmen’s souls return to the Divine Kingdom after death to serve by Your side!"
Even though the God of Nature might not be able to see it,
Elf High Priest Shamiel’s respectful attitude whenever she received an Oracle never wavered.
When Elf High Priest Shamiel announced the Oracle that afternoon, a shockwave went through every Clan in the Divine Realm!
After so many rituals for the God of Nature,
the Natural Pantheism within the Divine Realm had established three tiers for rituals to the God of Nature in its doctrine.
The first tier was a small-scale ritual, with several hundred to a few thousand Clansmen participating.
The second tier was a medium-scale ritual, with ten to thirty thousand Clansmen attending.
The third was a grand ritual. Aside from a very small number of Clansmen who could not leave their posts due to military missions or other critical duties, all other Clansmen were required to attend.
Therefore, the ritual to be held in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm today was clearly a third-tier grand ritual!
As such, whether it was the Elf Clan and Dwarf Clan, who had participated in several grand rituals before, or the Goblin Clan, who had just arrived in the Divine Realm and never attended one,
everyone regarded this event with the utmost importance!
Even Goblin Great Sage Norton, who hadn’t stopped his research when the hundred-thousand-strong Vampire Army invaded the Divine Realm, paused his work upon hearing the news this afternoon. After learning that a grand ritual would be held tonight and that the great God of Nature would surely appear again, he prepared to attend!
As night fell, the bright moonlight spilled across every corner of the Divine Realm.
On the Harvest Plain, Clansmen already stood packed around all sides of the magnificent Sacrificial Altar.
In fact, besides the rituals held for the God of Nature after every major war,
the Divine Realm’s first holiday created by the Clans themselves had been born on the Harvest Plain—the Harvest Festival!
The Harvest Festival was held every autumn in the Divine Realm.
Its object of worship was also the God of Nature.
As the name implied, the Harvest Festival was a celebration of the year’s bountiful harvest in the Divine Realm.
And for such a momentous occasion,
a large Sacrificial Altar had, of course, already been built on the Harvest Plain based on past experience.
To hold the grand ritual here today,
the Clansmen only needed to give the area a quick cleaning.
The altar, along with the surrounding open space,
formed a venue large enough to accommodate all the Clansmen in the Divine Realm.
The Harvest Plain was already a sea of people!
Tens of thousands of Clansmen stood on the parts of the Harvest Plain not planted with Magic Plants or crops,
gazing expectantly toward the very center of the Sacrificial Altar!
The center of the Sacrificial Altar was empty of people.
Instead, it was piled high with the corpses from the ninety-thousand-strong Vampire Army.
Only the figure of Elf High Priest Shamiel was visible on the Sacrificial Altar.
Amidst the mountain of bodies, she looked so small, yet so devout!
Before the ritual officially began,
Zhang Yi decided to first fulfill the wish of the deceased Clansmen: to enter the Divine Kingdom and be reborn!
After all, this was the greatest wish of so many Clansmen before they died in battle!
As Zhang Yi spent fifty thousand Faith Value to enhance the special effects,
an incomparably majestic Divine Illusion of the God of Nature, radiating endless dignity and intense pressure, appeared beneath the bright moonlight.
Golden and white light intertwined.
The Divine Illusion of the God of Nature looked magnificent!
The special effects from the fifty thousand Faith Value were on full display!
Every single Clansman in the Divine Realm could see the Divine Illusion of the God of Nature.
Although their bodies trembled from the pressure,
a unique sense of peace and belonging also permeated their entire beings!
"Look, it’s the great God of Nature! The Divine Being we believe in!"
shouted a devout Goblin Engineer who had only seen the God of Nature once before.
This cry was like a stone tossed into a flock of birds, instantly causing them all to take flight!
"My God!"
"It is My God!"
"It is the great God of Nature!"
In an instant, a tsunami of gasps and prayers erupted across the Harvest Plain.
Countless Clansmen, their eyes welling with tears of excitement, involuntarily dropped to their knees and kowtowed to the Divine Illusion in the sky!
This was far more direct and magnificent
than the wooden and stone idols they worshipped in their daily lives!
Even the members of the Heroic Clan in the Divine Realm prostrated themselves, kowtowing on the ground!
And as all eyes were fixed on the sight, notification sounds for increased Faith Value rang out continuously in the Divine Realm.
However, Zhang Yi paid them no mind for the moment.
The Divine Illusion of the God of Nature spoke its first words of the night:
"In my name, I summon the Heroic Souls!"
"Souls, return to the Divine Kingdom and be granted new life!"
The God of Nature’s vast voice, like a great bell, echoed in the mind of every Clansman in the Divine Realm!
In the next moment, the Clansmen standing on the Harvest Plain witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
Countless points of pure white soul-light
were summoned by the God of Nature.
They rose from all corners of the Divine Realm, especially from the War Fortress and the battlefield, where the most Clansmen had died.
A dense cluster of soul-lights floated slowly upward!
These were all the Clansmen who had died heroically in the recent holy war!
Because of their devout faith in the God of Nature during their lives,
they answered the call now.
From the ground to the sky, they converged into a dazzling river of light.
This river, formed of soul-lights, traced a beautiful arc across the night sky, flying toward the Natural Divine Kingdom!
"Look! That’s Uncle Copperbeard Adam! He has returned to the Divine Kingdom!"
"Oh!"
"That’s my uncle, Victor!"
"He was a brave Elf Archer! He was one of the soldiers who built the first line of defense in the wilds, and he died intercepting the Vampire Army!"
"May they find peace in the Divine Kingdom!"
"May they..."
On the ground, the kneeling Clansmen’s eyes filled with tears.
It was as if they could see the faces of their loved ones within the points of light floating toward the Divine Kingdom.
They all whispered excited prayers,
their faith strengthening in that very moment!
[Event]: The Lord of the Divine Realm has triggered the achievement [Divine Kingdom Transfer]. The soul-essences of countless deceased Clansmen have returned to the Divine Kingdom. Upon witnessing this scene, the Clans’ faith has greatly increased!
[Notification]: Congratulations! You have gained 27 Fanatic Believers and 468 Devout Believers...
[Notification]: Congratulations! You have received 21,635 Faith Value!
[Notification]: Congratulations! Your Divine Position "Nature" has slightly improved. Current improvement: 0.02%!
Zhang Yi’s Divine Illusion remained solidified in the sky above the Harvest Plain,
but Zhang Yi’s consciousness had already arrived in the [Natural Divine Kingdom].
Zhang Yi used his Divine Power to guide these points of light—whose consciousness had almost dissipated, leaving only the purest soul-essence—to a place above the Divine Kingdom.
There, they were nurtured by the [Ancient Heaven].
He could feel the soul-lights’ instinctive affection for him!
These were the souls of Clansmen who had been incomparably loyal to him in life!
’When I have enough Faith Value in the future, I must prioritize deducing Professions like Divine Guard and Heroic Spirit Priest!’
’The number of newborns in the Divine Realm this year isn’t nearly enough to accommodate so many reincarnating souls!’
Zhang Yi made a silent resolution.
