Chapter 910: The Glory of Evolution, Demigod Earth

"I guess this is... a success."

Lu Xingshi felt the hidden power in his body. This power was integrated with the heart of the earth, and was hidden in it every time he activated the power of the earth.

He succeeded, and Flanders and Lina were buried very smoothly in the same coffin, which was indeed cause for celebration.

[Demigod·Earth: Authority of the Earth (Demigod level), Authority of the Earth Element (Demigod level)]

The original Glory·Earth completely turned into Demigod·Earth. The effects originally obtained from the growth equipment also disappeared, and it turned into two authorities: earth and earth element. However, it was not complete, but demigod level.

Of course, how much power these two demigod-level authorities can exert depends on Lu Xingshi's strength.

When you are weak, it is difficult to mobilize it, let alone use it.

Just like Lu Xingshi now, he can only use about 1% of his power at most.

However, this is the case of active use. Passive effects still exist. For example, growth equipment that can restore earth attributes is no longer limited in quantity, and unique effects can be formed through these growth equipment.

That is, the various effects of previous glory.

It did not disappear after evolution, but still exists, and its power has even increased.

But they are all included in the authority of the earth and the authority of the earth element.

"With the power of the demigod of earth formed by these two authorities, the power of earth and the heart of earth in me will be able to reach a higher level."

"If everything goes well, perhaps we can achieve another qualitative change."

Lu Xingshi’s idea was very simple, which was to use his extraordinary organs and extraordinary powers to directly absorb this power.

It is true that this power is powerful, but its source is not from oneself, but from the inheritance of the God of Earth and Life and the Landon family.

The best way is to use this opportunity to annex and completely make the essence of the demigod your own.

Then it will be even simpler, using this as a springboard to replace the God of Earth and Life.

"The biggest gain is not the power of the Earth Demigod, nor the possibility of further advancement, but... the time convergence technology can be used."

The previous strength was not even enough to meet the minimum requirement for using time convergence.

It’s different now. He possesses two demigod-level authorities, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling a part of one of the world’s most powerful forces.

Using this as a tool has a good success rate.

The reason why it cannot be 100% is because the authority as a tool is not in line with the requirements.

If Lu Xingshi used authority such as fate and time, he would have at least a 95% success rate.

“Don’t set too big a goal, and don’t set it too far in the future, because the focus is too weak.”

"It's okay, I don't think about ending it completely, as long as I can achieve the opportunity."

His ultimate goal was simple, that is, the empire could hold off the attacks of other countries for another month before he headed to the Dragon Mountains in the south. During this period, the empire had to continue sending him letters to urge him.

The difficulty lies in holding off for a month. Judging from the correspondence and intelligence collected during these days, the empire is indeed about to collapse.

"The first attempt begins..." Lu Xingshi began to converge the timeline. The goal was only one month, so the loss would not be too great.

As Lu Xingshi expected, the attempt failed.

"The compatibility is too low, followed by insufficient strength, and then there are too many implications."

"The authority has also been damaged, and the durability has been reduced by one percent."

"Fortunately, I was able to recover."

Lu Xingshi felt that the authority of the earth and the authority of the earth element that constituted the power of the demigod of earth were slowly recovering.

“The price of failure was paid by the powers that be, and that’s a good thing.”

Otherwise, if Lu Xingshi really had to pay the price, he would definitely not be able to afford it given his current small body.

This is facing an entire timeline.

From this, Lu Xingshi further realized the value of the power of the demigod of the earth in himself.

Although it is only one percent, it is actually a huge share.

"But then again, what is the source of the power of the demigod of earth?" Lu Xingshi also discovered this blind spot.

First of all, with his strength and physique, he certainly cannot bear the power of the demigod of the earth, but it is actually flowing in his body.

"It does exist completely within me, but it is not borne by me."

"That means it's the external media that bears the pressure."

Lu Xingshi's gaze quickly fell on the ground beneath his feet and the earth elements spreading in the air.

He set his sights on the former, as he estimated that the latter, the earth element, did not have such great ability.

On the contrary, the earth itself is a huge concept, such as the priesthood of the god of earth and life!

The Dragon Mountains are the kingdom of God. The godhead may be a reflection of the high resource output of the Dragon Mountains, and the divinity is the immortal dragon.

The priesthood represents the duty itself, so the earth can be the priesthood of the god of earth and life.

Combined with the priesthood of life, these two priesthoods allow Lu Xingshi, a member of the 'Lanton Family', to possess this magical power. "The Lanton Family only obtained the earth part of the God of Earth and Life, so are there any other families that have the life part..."

While Lu Xingshi was reviewing the data of the failed convergence, he was also thinking about the issue of demigod power.

There was no rush to close the second time. At any rate, he had to wait until the two worn-out powers in his body recovered.

In fact, the recovery speed is very fast, and it takes about an hour to recover.

Lu Xingshi did not look for the source of energy recovery, which was the earth beneath his feet.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things, let's focus on the present."

Lu Xingshi no longer thought about the power of the demigod of earth, but instead began to further upgrade the "Code of the Earth".

Nowadays, when Lu Xingshi practices, there is no need to absorb earth element particles from the outside world. He can directly obtain the resources for his practice from the earth through the authority of the demigod power of the earth.

This means that Lu Xingshi's cultivation difficulty has returned to normal difficulty from the original hell.

Of course, the amount of resources needed did not decrease, but Lu Xingshi had obtained the resource channel, so he did not have to be stingy like before to get only a tiny bit of earth element particles.

Now just swallow it in big gulps.

The Dharma Ending in this world is different from the Dharma Ending in the martial arts world. The Dharma Ending in the martial arts world has a level cap, but this world is different. The level cap has not changed. Instead, the energy is insufficient to support it.

So as long as you can solve the environmental and resource problems, it will not be a problem to move up.

Lu Xingshi only solved the resource problem, but not the environmental problem, which means that after reaching a certain level, it will still be stuck.

For example, when becoming a god.

It is impossible for him to be stuck at the level of knight and wizard. If he has to be stuck, he will be stuck at the level of god.

After all, the gods and the environment of the Dharma Ending Age are closely related. Lu Xingshi is not very confident that he can avoid getting stuck.

"It's not difficult to break through to the Champion Knight and City-State Wizard. Even if I stay idle, I can break through in about a month."

"But these two professions are not the main point. I now possess the power of a demigod of the earth. I want to integrate fighting skills and witchcraft into divine arts that can utilize authority."

In Lu Xingshi's opinion, level is not the point, after all, it can be improved by oneself, but transforming oneself from an elite template to a BOSS template is the key.

As for whether his magic is different from the magic of the gods' believers and followers, he doesn't know.

In this day and age, let alone divine magic, there are no believers or followers, so how can he learn about it?

However, when fighting skills and witchcraft are combined with the power of the demigod of earth, especially those of earth attribute, their power will definitely be greatly enhanced.

"If this succeeds, I can solve the empire's predicament with or without the magic mirror." Lu Xingshi discovered that this plan really could not keep up with the changes.

Before this, he still needed the help of the magic mirror puppet which was an extraordinary soldier. After he broke through, he could kill all the countries without leaving a single piece of armor behind with two huge shields by himself.

He even thought that he could have a chance against the Immortal Dragon... Well, that's to be determined.

"It's restored, so the second timeline will converge..." Lu Xingshi realized that his authority had been restored, and immediately began the second conclusion.

After the failure last time, Lu Xingshi was familiar with the situation this time and easily made up for the shortcomings of the last time.

"Succeeded..."

"The consumption was quite high, causing the durability of the authority to drop by 10%. Fortunately, it was able to recover."

Failure means incompleteness, so naturally you just go back to where you fell, so the cost will fluctuate.

But if it succeeds, it is equivalent to completing the entire event, so all the costs must be paid, otherwise how can Lu Xingshi leverage time to bring about the result.

...

"Success! The research and development of the steam werewolf was successful!"

"Steam experts have resolved the incompatibility issue with Steam Soldier transforming into Moonlight Werewolf through the Crescent Pendant."

"As long as the Steam Soldiers are implanted with the Steam Wolf as a medium, they will be able to obtain the Moonlight Werewolf's Moon Energy Armor."

In the imperial meeting, a senior official walked in hurriedly and gave good news.

"In this way, the Steam Soldier will be able to gain the superposition of the Moonlight Werewolf, possessing the powers and abilities of two extraordinary soldiers."

"As long as we put it into production, the predicament of the Dragon Mountain Range will be resolved."

As the other party spoke, the senior officials at the Imperial Conference frowned.

"So, have you considered the budget?" an imperial high-ranking official asked the key question.

How could they not know these things, but money is the key issue.

"I've considered it. It's a huge expense. It won't affect the empire in the short term, but it will inevitably cause financial problems for the empire in the long term."

“But if we don’t solve the problem of the Dragon Mountain Range, we won’t have to worry about budgets and finances in the future,” the other party said calmly.

If they don't want the enemy to attack the imperial capital, they only have this choice.

As soon as this was said, everyone naturally agreed. As for whether this would have sequelae on the steam soldiers? This was not something they should consider now, but would be discussed later.

In the eyes of top leaders, soldiers are actually just a string of numbers and important resources on paper.
