Lin Rui finished reading, his pupils constricted as he turned to Presto beside him: "This effect... is unbelievably strong."

Presto nodded and said: "This is indeed the exclusive Miracle Building of the Human Empire. According to mythical legends, the Upper Realm is the paradise where Divine Spirits reside, Hell is the space where demons dwell, while the Central Courtyard is the garden and world where humans operate."

As a miracle building exclusive to the human race, it somewhat resembles the angels' Floating City, the dragons' Giant Dragon Island, and the demons' Hell Furnace.

The effect is so strong that it's shocking.

Once this building is constructed, Function One will cover the entire territory with great majesty.

By then, all monsters within the territory will be greatly weakened, with attack, defense, and movement speed reduced by 25%!

This effect is almost equivalent to a mythical-level Forbidden Curse: Ultimate Weakness Skill. Each monster spawned will be weakened, even their movement speed significantly slowed, unable to escape from the attacks of various defense towers in the territory. Their defense attribute will be weakened by a quarter, a single attack will severely damage a large amount of life value!

But this is not the most important attribute of this majestic domain; the most crucial is that it can increase the work efficiency of the entire territory by 20%.

This is incredibly important!

Under the current scale of production, a 20% increase in work efficiency is almost equivalent to a 20% increase in wealth.

After all, with the Altar of All Heavens, the wealth produced by the territory is never short of buyers.

This is the dream environment for all industrial strong nations, no need to worry about sales, just open production, and with sufficient capacity, a corresponding amount of wealth can be acquired!

It should be noted that to achieve this state, countless wars have erupted in human history. The strongest industrial nations have frequently kicked open the doors of other countries under the banner of free trade, enforcing commercial dumping.

Now, under the acceleration of Territorial Essence, the Historically Significant trait constantly triggers, the Golden Pansy Field rotates endlessly, and the armory, weapons factory, and various industrial workshops are in full production. A 20% increase in work efficiency is an unparalleled boost to the territory's revenue.

Meanwhile, Function Two allows the territory to finally have a base building akin to the Spring of Life, and once activated, everyone's recovery speed will soar by 1000%.

This is immensely powerful in battles around the territory.

Moreover, the consumption of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy for this does not require much wealth, as it can be replenished through sincere worship, faith activities, grand ceremonial festivals, etc.

The storage limit is 500 million points.

This 500 million points of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy is very durable.

Enhancing a soldier only consumes 500,000 points of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy, transforming them into a Legendary Soldier of their profession!

However, this effect does not apply to all soldiers of the territory, only to the Forbidden Army and those achieving "Loyal to Death."

Without a doubt, the Forbidden Army of the territory is the Golden Pansy Knights.

Since the territory had previously constructed the Golden Pansy Territory Guard Castle.

[Territory Guard Castle: The castle symbolizes the military power of the territory. The Imperial Guard Castle is where the territory's elite troops are stationed. Choose a territory unit and add the "Imperial Guard Glory" trait to it, and soldiers can learn Glory Skills in the Imperial Guard Castle.]

[Imperial Guard Glory: Soldier damage increased by 20%, life value limit +20%, physical and spiritual defense +20%, immune to fear, never retreat.]

[Skills available for learning: Steel of Firmness lv3: When encountering countless enemy troops on the battlefield, the only thing the Imperial Guard soldiers can rely on is their iron will. Increase physical armor by 3 points per willpower.]

[Martial Arts Mastery lv3: Imperial Guard soldiers are seasoned warriors; the time they have spent training in military discipline is akin to a lifetime for many. While standing in formation without moving for 10 seconds, attack limit +5%, defense limit +5%. The effect gradually disappears within 5 seconds after moving.]

[Glory Blade lv3: When activated, the Imperial Guard soldiers immediately enhance their close combat attack rate, causing their weapons to emit dazzling light. Attack speed +40% for 30 seconds, attacks inflict 20% divine damage, and have a 10% chance to produce chain lightning, causing 126-158 spiritual damage to enemies within 5 meters.]

[Blood Fury lv3: In battle, when recklessly slaughtering and exhibiting crazy bloodthirstiness, this skill can be used to immediately increase attack power, armor-piercing probability, and physical endurance. Attack power +10%, armor-piercing damage +15%, stamina endurance +30% for 30 seconds.]

When choosing the Forbidden Army of the territory, Lin Rui opted for the Golden Pansy Knights.

Therefore, the Golden Pansy Knights can enter the castle to obtain these traits and skills.

Although these traits and skills have existed for a long time, their strength is still quite formidable, applicable even to Legendary Soldiers.

For instance, the trait [Imperial Guard Glory], with life value +20%; this effect is quite substantial even for basic life value, increasing basic attributes by thousands of points.

And the passive skill [Steel of Firmness] lv3 effect can provide close to a thousand points of armor. With the level upgraded to lv30, or even lv60, the enhancement factor increases, providing very strong physical armor.

The initial level of these four skills is lv3, so the effect may seem relatively low, but they can be upgraded with Universal Experience.

Of course, once the Central Courtyard Divine Palace is constructed, the Forbidden Army will no longer be limited to just the Golden Pansy Knight Order.

Beyond the functions of this building, it also has a basic attribute, which is an increase in Forbidden Army slots by 30,000.

This means the territory can convert some other soldiers into territory Forbidden Army, such as the Legendary Aries Saints, Heroic Spirit-level Heavy-armored Spartan Guards and Ice Blade Warriors.

This conversion does not encompass the entire unit into the Forbidden Army but selects a few thousand from the unit, with the total slots not exceeding thirty thousand.

Lin Rui will have to carefully consider the distribution of these thirty thousand slots.

Not only must elites be chosen, but also seasoned veterans and newly risen sharp recruits.

Seasoned veterans carry various medals, achievements, and permanent combat engine enhancements. Some medal bonuses can significantly elevate a soldier's combat prowess.

And those permanent enhancements are enough to let a Heroic Spirit-level seasoned veteran's combat power crush that of same-tier new recruits, matching even Lord-level or Catastrophe-level beings.

The newly risen sharp recruits are from the strong territory, spawning many high-tier, high-talent soldiers whose attribute templates are relatively primitive, but also economical.

Because, after selection into the Forbidden Army, the command value consumption is halved; removing their command value can save a lot of spirit crystal coins.

However, this Forbidden Army count is not fixed at 30,000; Lin Rui noticed this blueprint has room for enhancement. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This implies that both Forbidden Army slots and storage limits can be increased.

The functions five and six of this palace also have prospects for improvement.

By then, the Pool of Baptism will be the most pilgrimage-worthy spot at the heart of the territory, currently providing corrosion resistance +300% within a cycle, divine damage +30 against evil monsters, and all territorial benefits +5%, temporary benefit effects +3%.

By then, as the territory grows, countless inhabitants will probably approach this palace on a pilgrimage, receive the blessings of the Empire, gain unparalleled courage and strength, and embark on adventures and battles.

No choice, the capital of a grand empire always accumulates more potent and abundant resources.

Just like now, within the territory's urban area, it holds an absolute overwhelming advantage over surrounding feudal domains.

As for Function Six: Divine Judgment, Lin Rui thinks there might not be much opportunity to use it. Although it's strong, providing world-ending artillery support in battles.

However, if Golden Pansy Domain were forced to fight at the palace gates, this Divine Judgment might have trouble saving the day.

Compared to defensive sieges, Lin Rui prefers proactive assaults.
