Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 774 - 438: Another Divine Artifact, the Void Hunter Spear!_2
Chapter 774: Chapter 438: Another Divine Artifact, the Void Hunter Spear!_2
"Congratulations, my lord, for gaining another powerful subordinate," Bluru was the first to react, immediately offering his congratulations to Ye Feng.
The usually silent and reticent Qiongqi also took the rare opportunity to say, "Congratulations!"
It was initially conquered by Ye Feng’s personal martial prowess, with complete disdain for things like the Dragon Hall.
But to its surprise, just one Spiritual Energy Resurgence spawned nine Seventh Order Mutated Beings within the Dragon Hall. In terms of high-end combat power, they caught up with its own subordinates in an instant.
Originally, Qiongqi thought that this would be the limit, but this time, it personally witnessed this scene.
Qiongqi had to admit, its previous thoughts were somewhat biased.
If the Dragon Hall could continue to develop at this pace, it might actually grow into a colossal entity, capable of contending with the other top-level Taoism of the universe.
"Haha! I didn’t expect such a welcome surprise either. But what I want to say is the Dragon Hall isn’t just mine, it’s everyone’s," Ye Feng said with a laugh.
"The better the Dragon Hall develops, the more interests it can protect."
"You must have seen my global layout. Once we have enough Power of Faith, I will share the profits with you."
"By then, you’ll be able to enjoy offerings like core members of those top-level Taoism and acquire the Power of Faith," Ye Feng stated with a smile.
Hearing this, both Bluru and Qiongqi showed a hint of anticipation on their faces.
But it was just that, anticipation, as after all, they were not naive newcomers. They had heard countless grand promises before.
In Ancient Times, with their strength, numerous major powers had extended olive branches to them.
When spoken, their offers were always splendid, but when it came time to deliver, that was another story.
Ye Feng seemed to guess what they were thinking and said with a smile, "Of course, you reap what you sow."
Both thought to themselves that it was as expected, but before they could ponder further, they heard Ye Feng continue, "Just like Bluru, the corpse you contributed has had a huge impact, so naturally, you can enjoy such treatment."
"Now I can inform you that once the Holy City is completely built, you will be allotted 20 million points of Power of Faith every day, and this will continue for ten years."
The amount of Power of Faith offered by Ye Feng was carefully considered because igniting the Divine Fire with top-level Secret Techniques requires about 10 million points of Power of Faith daily.
Thus, his grant must surpass this number but not by too much, because the Power of Faith is also a means to control them.
After enjoying these benefits, they would spontaneously protect the interests of the Dragon Hall.
Because the interests of the Dragon Hall are their own interests.
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Bluru’s breathing suddenly became heavy.
Do beings like the Forbidden Area Masters have the Power of Faith?
Of course, they do. They raised so many subordinates precisely to collect the Power of Faith.
But is it a lot? Certainly not, at least not compared to those top-level Taoism; they don’t dare to Ignite the Divine Fire prematurely.
To know, igniting the Divine Fire early not only signifies immense combat power but also allows one to experience the process more clearly.
When the time comes to finally form a Divine Statue, those who ignited their Divine Fire early will have at least a 20 to 30 percent higher success rate compared to others.
"Thank you, my lord!" Bluru thanked Ye Feng once again, sincerely.
At the same time, his Loyalty increased by 2 points, reaching 82%.
The reason why it was not as much as before was naturally because Ye Feng’s promises were still just words and had not yet been fulfilled.
Ye Feng believed that once he provided the Power of Faith, Bluru’s Loyalty would continue to climb.
Ye Feng then turned his gaze to Qiongqi, and sure enough, he saw a thick color of envy in the other’s eyes.
In fact, besides envy, Qiongqi also felt profound dissatisfaction.
After all, it joined Ye Feng’s ranks earlier than Bluru, but at this moment, the gap in their status in Ye Feng’s eyes was not just large—it was vast.
If it were just a matter of status, that would be bearable, but if this continued, the two, who were once evenly matched, would soon be worlds apart.
After re-cultivating, Bluru’s foundation was definitely more solid.
Moreover, with the contribution of his body, he could exchange for an Origin Life Fruit from Ye Feng, ensuring his foundation would be much stronger than before.
Lastly, the Power of Faith could provide a significant breakthrough probability, and these cumulative advantages would only widen the gap between the two sides.
Even if he could break through to godhood later, the difference in their foundations, which was not something becoming a god could erase, would still exist.
Also, after attaining godhood, expanding God’s Domain would still require the Power of Faith; without Ye Feng’s support, the two sides would continue to diverge in this aspect.
All these reasons, how could they not make Qiongqi envious and filled with jealousy?
As it pondered these thoughts, a voice suddenly reached its ears, "Do you want the Power of Faith?"
Qiongqi immediately looked up in the direction of Ye Feng. Wasn’t that a rhetorical question? It dreamt of it as well!
But it also believed things wouldn’t be so simple, so with some hesitation, it asked, "My lord, are you willing to provide me with the Power of Faith?"
"Hmm," Ye Feng nodded and said, "I have already mentioned that I maintain a clear system of rewards and punishments here; as long as you make contributions, you will be rewarded."
"As you know, my human self is skilled in spear techniques, so I would like to have your Void Hunter Spear."
"If you are willing to contribute it, you will receive the same treatment as Bluru, twenty million points of the Power of Faith every day for the next ten years."
When Qiongqi heard that Ye Feng wanted his Divine Artifact, its eyes widened, and its first reaction was to refuse.
But before it could speak, Ye Feng preemptively said, "There’s no need to rush your answer. You can go back and think it over for a day before giving me your decision, and if you don’t wish to, I won’t force you."
Ye Feng’s words immediately calmed Qiongqi down.
And once it had calmed down, it had to weigh the pros and cons.
Was its Divine Artifact powerful? Of course, it was.
But the problem was, this was a long spear, which was not at all suitable for its use.
One reason was that it didn’t know any spear techniques, and given it had claws instead of hands, it wouldn’t be able to learn even if it wanted to.
Another reason was that the two types of spatial rules contained within its Divine Artifact did not match its own attributes.
Yet, if it handed over the Void-splitting Divine Spear, receiving twenty million points of the Power of Faith each day would significantly increase its chances of attaining godhood.
Furthermore, after igniting the Divine Fire, the enhancement in Combat Power wouldn’t be much less than if it held onto an ill-suited Divine Artifact.
Moreover, after spending a month with Ye Feng, Qiongqi’s view of him had improved increasingly, feeling that the other party was a wise ruler, and it believed that Dragon Hall could develop even better.
Now, by handing over the Divine Artifact and earning a surge of goodwill from Ye Feng, to solidify its position as an elder, all these benefits combined seemed worthwhile.
With that thought, Qiongqi no longer hesitated and spat out the Void-splitting Divine Spear from its mouth, saying, "My lord, I have thought it over. This Divine Artifact is indeed more suitable for you. I will give it to you!"
As it spoke, it reluctantly controlled the Divine Artifact with its Spiritual Energy and sent it towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took the spear, and a slight smile appeared on his face; he felt like the past month spent building goodwill was not in vain.
He had raised Qiongqi’s Loyalty to 80%. Initially, he had planned to wait until its Loyalty was a bit higher before asking for the Divine Artifact.
However, today, he had just proposed a reward system, and he decided to mention it in passing, never expecting it to succeed.
"Good! I will remember your contributions."
"Moreover, according to the current pace of Holy City’s construction, it should be basically complete in another two months at most. By then, I will grant you the Power of Faith," Ye Feng said, giving them an exact timeframe.
