Ascension

The mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Ye Qi waved his hand gently, and the three of them flew backwards, arriving at another area in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highnesses, please come this way."

In front of the door made of black gold, there were two rows of waiters.

The leader was wearing a decent suit, with a white collar and a dark tie.

With a pair of black eyes as warm as the afternoon sun, he glanced at the tips of the three people's noses, and then smiled.

"Grandpa Huan."

Ye Hanjun greeted softly.

Ye Donghai and Ye Youxing paused for a moment and quickly saluted.

"I already know your purpose of coming."

"Based on the potential level of the clan and the results of the trial, you will receive your own "activation resources." "

Starting resources, that is, resource support after adulthood.

During their teenage years, the Ye clan members had no worries about eating, drinking, or having fun. They enjoyed luxury and endured all kinds of extraordinary basic training and knowledge supplies. They were as fulfilling as they could be.

But...there was no awakening power at that time, and he was still a mortal after all.

Only those who awaken their authority, pass the trial, and become a true member of the Ye clan are qualified to enjoy the unimaginable spiritual resources that others can imagine.

"Please."

Ye Huan, who was dressed meticulously, invited the three of them into the palace with a smile.

There was no gold, silver, jewelry, or rare metals inside, just a huge sand table.

Ye Hanjun took a closer look and saw that most areas of the sand table were covered with black mist.

The few that were exposed were covered with colorful flags.

The word "night" is clearly marked on the black flag.

Most of the red flags have the word "witch" written on them.

Most of the white flags have the word "season" written on them.

Other colors, some with no words, some with many words, are dazzling at first glance, and the head feels a dull pain.

"This is a partial map of the Dark Lantern Abyss. Your three highnesses can carve their names on the black flags without words."

Ye Huan pointed to the sand table and said, "Your Highnesses Donghai and Youxing can choose the territory of the three-pointed star or the four-pointed star as their own territory."

"His Royal Highness Han Jun has the status of "Young King of the Ye Family". Except for the most special seven-pointed star, which cannot be chosen, everything else is acceptable. "

"I want this place!"

Ye Youxing raised his hand and pointed to an open space in the center:

"I have already taken a liking to this "Meteor Demonic Land"! "

"It is rumored that in this area, there are meteors piercing the sky every day, and the scenery is the most beautiful...Grandpa Huan, help me carve a name!"

"Your Highness has good eyes."

Ye Huan smiled, took out a special brush and applied it twice.

In an instant, the area with the four-pointed star also had the word "night" in it.

"Brother Han, you choose first, I can choose anywhere."

Ye Donghai cupped his hands and retreated to the side.

Ye Hanjun inspected the huge sand table, constantly observing the miniature landmarks and names, and asked softly:

"Grandpa Huan, can you tell me where Liuying is?"

"According to the rules, tribesmen choose fiefdoms and should not leak information at will."

Ye Huan smiled kindly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes:

"But she and you are fraternal and have an unusual relationship."

"It doesn't hurt to make exceptions occasionally."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huan." Ye Hanjun saluted again.

"She chose Gravel Hell. "

Six words floated into her ears, but Ye Huan didn't move her lips.

Ye Hanjun understood in his heart that this was a way of spiritual communication, and neither Ye Donghai nor Ye Youxing heard it.

"Shh!"

His eyes immediately locked onto the Gravel Prison.

This is a territory marked with a four-pointed star. You can’t guess much information from the name alone, and it requires on-site inspection to confirm.

"Ok?"

Ye Hanjun quickly frowned.

There are four territories surrounding Gravel Prison, but they are all occupied.

A little further away, there are five territories, each with its own owner.

This situation was the last thing he wanted to encounter.

If they can border each other, the two territories will become their own, and everything will go smoothly whether they are taking care of each other or communicating daily.

Once the two places are divided, there will be a lot of troubles.

Thinking about it, Lord Ye Han fixed his gaze on a six-pointed star:

"Grandpa Huan, I want "Guixi River Region". "

"Oh?"

Ye Huan raised her eyebrows and said slightly surprised:

"If you can mark the six-pointed star, you must have abundant resources."

"But the edge of this flag is dotted with a circle of blood red. You should know what this means, right?"

"Grandpa Huan, since this is a fiefdom that can be opened to new members of the clan, no matter how dangerous it is, there should be an upper limit." Lord Ye Han replied.

"That's right."

Ye Huan shook his head and said:

"But I still suggest that you seriously reconsider."

"This territory has been chosen by two tribesmen over the past three hundred years."

"But they just settled in the territory, and within a year or two, both of them died."

"Some tribesmen have specifically investigated and found that there are not many creatures living on the ground in this area."

"The danger mainly comes from the depths of the Guixi River. There are hordes of monsters lurking inside, which will often set off terrifying waves and rush to the ground to devour living creatures."

When speaking like this, Ye Huan did not use a single voice transmission method.

Ye Donghai said strangely:

"Grandpa Huan, won't we be equipped with guards?"

"Is it possible that even the level of security guards cannot handle the crisis in the territory?"

"Your territory is naturally secure."

Ye Huan said with a smile: "But the risk factor in the Guixi River area is indeed higher."

"In my opinion, the guards cannot handle the dangers deep in the river area with ease."

"Grandpa Huan, this is it."

Ye Hanjun smiled, "I wasn't particularly interested at first."

"But you said 'danger,' and I suddenly became interested."

"Oh? Do you want to take the path of killing?"

If Ye Huan realized something, "Yes, as a demon ruler, killing is the fastest way to grow..."

"Brother Han, you are working too hard."

Ye Youxing smiled sweetly and said:

"Isn't it because you missed four years of growth that you want to overtake in a corner?"

"There is a saying among the people that 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry'. Why should you be in such a hurry? Will it not develop well over time?"

"Are you being too lenient?"

Ye Hanjun glanced at it and said calmly:

"On the surface let me go slow and steady."

"You wish I would hurry up, go crazy, and then make a mistake, right?"

"Hehe, Brother Han saw through me at a glance!"

Ye Youxing stopped pretending and showed his cards:

"People like Brother Han are not comparable to us."

"My little sister, I just want to give you one piece of advice. Instead of fighting and killing each other and ending up in despair, it's better to live in seclusion in the mountains and enjoy the rest of your life."

"If you still want to compete with those people, you really won't even have anyone to help you collect the bones."

"I don't need you to worry about it." Lord Ye Han said expressionlessly.

Ye Huan seemed to be recalling the past, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He picked up the writing brush and wrote the word "night" in the Guixi River area, nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, this place is yours."

"Remember, how to manage and operate the territory...as long as you are happy."

"But every ten years, a batch of resources must be provided to be used as the family's strategic reserves. This is a rule that all territories must abide by, and no one can disobey it."

"Yes." Lord Ye Han responded.

……

After selecting the fiefdom, Lord Ye Han parted ways with Ye Donghai and Ye Youxing.

If there are no accidents, it will be difficult to encounter them again except for the most solemn sacrifices.

Of course, this doesn’t mean leaving the Black Wheel right away.

The fiefdom, or territory, is just an important starting resource for the Ye clan people who have passed the trial.

Combined with the results of the trial, their respective blood ties, and family status, there are many resources that can be collected.

Lord Ye Han came to the next area.

"Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time."

A group of orange ghosts floated over, as high as three meters. There were no eyes on the face, only a grinning mouth.

This is not a human being in disguise, but a spirit.

However, it is not the true body of the beloved spirit, but one of the thousands of clones of an ancient ghost.

Even so, Lord Ye Han could still feel the terrifying fluctuations in his soul.

If this is his enemy, a random mental wave can destroy him physically and mentally.

"Your Highness, you are the young king."

"According to the rules, you will enjoy the second-tier treatment."

The ghost's voice echoes by itself, and when it lingers around my ears, it is true and false, and false and true.

Ye Hanjun listened silently, neither despising the ghost nor paying special attention to it.

Its body signed a contract with the Ye clan.

And that person is the father's biological daughter, ranked No. 55.

In terms of blood relationship, this person is his half-sister.

But she lived too long and had long since become one of the great elders of the Ye clan.     Because of bad luck, I accidentally took the wheel of darkness.

But he doesn’t want to take care of things, he just wants to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

Her contracted spirit has shouldered everything. In the past one hundred years, all the people of the Ye clan have received resources personally because of this ghost.

"Wangtu, come here."

The ghost mimicked human palms and waved towards a black door.

The door opened, and a thin man wearing heavy earth-yellow armor walked over step by step.

He knelt down on one knee and prostrated himself in front of Lord Ye Han. Every movement was flawless.

"Wangtu, the son of the grandson of the previous head of the Wang family, is 600 years old this year and is still very young."

"From today on, he will be your direct guard."

"No matter what the reason, as long as you die, he will die."

The orange ghost said, half of its body got into the armored man's body, and pulled out a group of illusory souls.

This soul seemed to be about to disperse at any time, but dragging this wisp of soul behind it, the orange ghost gasped and seemed extremely tired.

"boom!"

For thirty seconds, the orange ghost finally dragged the illusory soul into Lord Ye Han's palm.

The next second, an orange chain connected the two people at the same time.

In the dark, Ye Hanjun seemed to have grasped something, and had the illusion that he was in charge of life and death.

"Okay, this is the "Same Fate Lock" set up by me. Your Highness is the main body, and Wangtu is the secondary body. "

"Even if I die, as long as the two levels have not reached the 8th level, it is impossible to destroy the balance of the link."

The orange ghost almost turned transparent, but it was very satisfied with its masterpiece and said proudly:

"Your Highness, do you need me to introduce the function of "Tongming Lock" in detail? "

"No need." Ye Hanjun shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go and replace the next brother."

The orange ghost dissipated in the air leisurely.

After a while, another orange ghost floated over, looking exactly like the one just now.

But its character was a bit irritable, so it grabbed a scroll and threw it into Lord Ye Han's hands unceremoniously.

"Your Highness, this is the list of guards to choose from!"

"According to the rules, you can also choose an additional 7th-level guard and ten 6th-level guards as your 'Deadpool'!"

Ye Hanjun nodded, grabbed the scroll, and felt a trace of soul power.

The people of the Ye clan must have their own personal guards before they become successful.

This is one of many protective mechanisms, similar to a guardian.

However, compared to ordinary family elders and worshippers, Ye's methods are more cruel.

In order to ensure the loyalty of the guards, in addition to basic screening, a "sale contract" must also be established.

The same fate lock is just one of the methods.

If other great elders were to cast spells, they might become "parasitic worms", "heart-swallowing maggots", "killing demons and locking souls", etc., and the effects would be even more cruel.

"Just 'Wan Ming'."

"For the remaining sixth-level guards, I want Cui Ye, Huang Youdao, Nie Yuan, Butcher, Anjita..."

"learn!"

The grumpy orange ghost turned and walked away.

After a while, he grabbed a group of people and asked them to line up and kneel down.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

There were eleven people in total, and their voices were either loud or deep.

Ye Hanjun looked at the old man at the front and nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"rise!"

The orange ghost casts "Same Life Lock".

It grabbed a ray of Wanming's soul and locked it in Lord Yehan's body.

"Your Highness, if you have anything to do, just ask."

Wan Ming bowed, then stood behind Lord Ye Han, standing side by side with Wang Tu.

The remaining people, dim orange ghosts, called a third brother to finish them all at once.

But this time, the soul was not sent into Lord Yehan's body, but was tied to a special soul jade pendant and handed over to Lord Yehan.

"Your Highness, in order not to put too much burden on you, I can only do this."

"You don't have any risk, but if the soul jade is lost, these people's lives will be in danger, and I will not be responsible!"

The dim orange ghosts at both ends disappeared with their arms around each other.

"Get up."

Ye Hanjun weighed the cold jade pendant and smiled slightly:

"I did not select all combatants, but selected different talents from multiple fields such as cooking, breeding, management, security, reconnaissance, construction, production, and collection."

"There is only one purpose, to do a good job in infrastructure construction in the territory."

"You just need to do your part, and I will provide you with the salary and resources you deserve."

"Yes!"

Twelve people responded uniformly.

"Your Highness, come and choose your mount!"

"I specially picked it for you first. After you finish picking it, it will be the turn of the other two His Highnesses!"

The fourth orange ghost suddenly emerged from the ground.

Ye Hanjun glanced at the roster, his eyes lit up, and he proactively asked:

"How many seventh-level spirits can I choose?"

The orange ghost picked its nose and said carelessly:

"The other two highnesses can only choose one end each."

"You...three heads! The young king of the Ye family must meet this standard!"

"Well."

Ye Hanjun opened his mouth and said:

"I want this "milk demon". "

"Why does Your Highness want it?"

The ghost murmured:

"Is the mark on it very clear? This milk demon is male. Its milk cannot be used to feed the cubs. It can only be used to water the earth and produce some spiritual plants."

"That's it!"

Ye Hanjun's tone became firmer.

"OK then."

Ghost smacked his lips and reminded:

"Your Highness, please don't be too willful. Except for the seventh-level spirits, the number is somewhat limited."

"You should get more of the miscellaneous basic supporting resources left. Don't waste them."

"Um……"

Ye Hanjun thought about it and continued to speak:

"This immeasurable level "Red Moon Sirius" is perfect for serving as a temporary mount. "

"As for the third one... let's choose the "Abyss Demonic Insect". "

"Abyss Demonic Insects are generally the embryo of heaven and earth. They can grow to immeasurable embryos. They seem to have very good qualifications."

"That's fine. Fight when it's time to fight, plow when it's time to plow, one insect can be used for multiple purposes, and nothing is wasted..."

"Remember it! Remember it!"

Ghost snapped his fingers, and densely written words were written on another scroll:

"By the way, there is also a basic gift package, which is uniformly distributed by the Ye clan."

"I'm thinking that you are a young king and your territory is larger than other families', so I specially received three copies for you, which should be enough."

"What's there?"

Ye Hanjun only knew that such resources changed from time to time and were not fixed, and he was a little curious.

"We have a batch of high-quality goods. Don't you have water there? I have selected a hundred "corpse mermaids" for you as maids. You don't have to feed them. They can hunt by themselves, so you don't have to worry. "

"..."

A humanoid monster appeared in Ye Hanjun's head.

The upper body is human, the lower body has a tail, the body is hot, and it is first-class enchanting.

As a corpse clan, they have good wisdom and are very united, which are great advantages.

But they stink so much that pus will ooze from any scratch.

When he goes crazy, he will scream loudly, and the terrifying sound waves can make people's ears buzz.

"Then I thank you."

"Where is it? Where is this?"

This orange ghost is quite talkative.

It patted its chest and said happily:

"I also selected some amphibious "bastard turtles" for you and asked them to help you mine ores! "

"Of course, there must be a sexy and beautiful "fox girl"! "

"I am thinking that you are the young king, and your taste may be more unique, so I specially selected a pair of twin beautiful foxes for you. They have been matured for a hundred years. They have only sucked the essence of the sun and the moon, and have never touched a real male creature. Training It’s the most satisfying thing to do!”

……

"thank you."

Lord Ye Han interrupted the orange ghost:

"You can take care of this, it's not particularly important."

"It would be better for the birds to pick some for me. I have a contracted spirit. I want to form a bird guard army. I only want the embryos of the wheel of life and the embryos of annihilation. I don't want any that are too strong or too weak."

"As for the elixir... you can get a few boxes of whatever you want. Don't buy anything less than a thousand years old. You can choose the variety as you like."

"Mechanical toys, talisman pills... these are fine, but don't fool me with defective products. I don't like to cut corners."

"No problem, no problem~"

The orange ghost promised.

Suddenly, it seemed to remember something. It fumbled around and pulled out a black and gold card from nowhere.

"Your Highness, I almost forgot."

"This is the ticket to the "Devil's Cave". Given your perfect score, you are qualified to go to this place to choose a contracted spirit. "

"The devil's cave..."

Ye Hanjun's thoughts wandered for a while, and he put away the card quite solemnly:

“It is indeed the best choice.”

"I heard that there are all rare demon species. If you want to go in and visit, you have to pay a sky-high price for spiritual stones."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a hidden reward for clearing the trial with a perfect score..." (End of Chapter)
