Lin Rui had already decided on the enhancement direction for himself, so he turned to Audrey and asked, "Have you thought about the enhancement direction after ascension?"

During ascension, there are trait selections. Although the traits are randomly drawn, a general direction can still be chosen.

Usually, the three traits are not of the same type.

Audrey pondered for a moment and said, "I’ve considered it. With the blessing that money can pass divine barriers, there’s no need to seek troop expansion anymore. The focus is on enhancing combat power."

Lin Rui nodded. Now, the heroes in the territory are basically not worried about the size of their troops. As long as there are enough Spirit Crystal Coins, troop size can be continuously increased.

Audrey continued, "I think many people have a misconception that the Undead should be weak and easily bullied, like a bunch of Little Skeletons that shatter at a touch. But in fact, the Undead Army can be extremely formidable and endless. Every Undead Monster can be powerful and terrifying, and the enemy has to risk their lives to kill one, only for even stronger Undead to rush forward! This is how the Undead Catastrophe should be."

Lin Rui smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, let’s go with your idea."

It’s always best when she has her own thoughts.

Audrey previously had a Divine Artifact, the Shadow Weaver’s Robe, but this artifact mainly strengthened attack and control.

The initial attributes were no different from other Mythical Level items, which were +1 Talent for soldiers, +50% Divine Damage, and enhancement of Attack Power and Spiritual Energy Damage.

Only the final ability, Five Shadow Summoning, could somewhat enhance the wearer’s hardness, allowing the wearer to consume a certain amount of Spiritual Energy Value to enhance their combat power, summoning a Shadow Clone during attacks for battle. The Shadow Clone’s Attack Power and Defense are 70% of the wearer’s and last for 10 seconds.

But this only enhanced defense by 10 seconds, 70%.

Therefore, this item far exceeded defensive capabilities in terms of output capacity.

Audrey just wanted to make her troops tougher, turning each Undead Monster into a fearsome creature with high attack, thick defense, and abundant health, making the opponent feel unbearably strong during combat.

It should be said that Audrey’s approach was influenced by Lin Rui. She wasn’t like this before.

Previously, her war approach was simple brute force, relying on strong attrition to exhaust the opponent.

If she could fight, she fought; if not, she withdrew to recover a bit before continuing, just like a persistent old dog.

She first used the Book of Wisdom for ascension and, thanks to the Decree: Celestial Maiden’s Words and the Blessing of the Starry River, all beings within the territory were bathed in the starry river’s light, ignoring Tier Attribute limits when enhancing attributes.

Thus, Audrey quickly broke through to Tier Eight in Wisdom Attribute and began preparing for the ascension challenge.

Then Audrey took Lin Rui’s Semi-Divine Artifact: Banner of All Living Beings.

[Mind Connection: When in Mental Resonance, waving the flag can create a legendary future. The user can set a Legendary Trait to be activated during battle with the flag, allowing all their soldiers to share the Legendary Trait.]

With this trait, during the upcoming period, all soldiers will share one trait.

And this trait was initially chosen by Lin Rui, after he and Rose spent a long time selecting in the Elf Imperial Court.

[Legendary Trait: Frosty Skies: When the Frosty Skies, all things fall silent, only the spark of faith can illuminate the path forward. In the battlefield covered by Frosty Skies, only firm faith and fearless courage can achieve victory. Willpower +20, correcting Divine Resistance according to Willpower coefficient. When killing an enemy unit with higher Willpower Value than oneself, Willpower Value permanently +1. After reaching the current tier limit, each time killing an enemy with higher Willpower Value than oneself, one’s Divine Resistance permanently +1. When attacking, if one’s Divine Resistance is higher than the opponent’s, additional Divine Damage is dealt according to the difference.]

With Willpower Value correcting Divine Resistance, the soldiers’ Divine Resistance would increase by more than 200%, elevating the original 2000 points to 6000 points.

In high-tier combat, this would make soldiers hard enough to numb the other’s scalp.

The high-tier soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain basically achieved above 90% Damage Reduction for Physical Attack and Spiritual Energy Damage. Such basic attacks hardly deal much damage and might even be entirely immune.

To deal effective output, one can only rely on Divine Damage, but when Divine Resistance is as high as 6000, whether the enemy’s Tier Six or Tier Seven soldiers can exceed 6000 points of Divine Damage is a major problem.

Not every soldier is like the Legendary-level, capable of attaching a proportional Divine Damage to their basic attacks.

Most Rare Level, Heroic Spirit Level, Lord-level soldiers usually have fixed Divine Damage.

Audrey, obtaining this Semi-Divine Artifact, eagerly asked, "Father, are there any other soldiers in the territory who need ascension, so sister can lead them together and have them latch onto sister, haha."

Although the territory canceled the attribute limit, humans still need to complete the ascension tasks to ascend.

Which means the Blood Flower task still can’t be skipped.

Otherwise, with humans advancing in succession and passing on the torch, if they could casually enhance attributes to ascend en masse beyond Tier Ten, other races wouldn’t be able to survive.

Where would fairness be?

The Divine Spirits would surely restrict and balance this aspect, for if humanity rises too quickly, with an average level of Tier Ten, Gods could no longer securely reside in the Divine Kingdom.
