Chapter 892 Upgrading the Lord's Temple, Digesting the Gains!
[Would you like to consume 100 Dream Fragments to exchange for 'Mosin's Pillar Blueprint (Legendary)'*1?]

[Would you like to consume 150 million Dream Fragments to exchange for 1 'Lord's Temple Blueprint (Legendary)'?]

[Would you like to consume 225 million Dream Fragments to exchange for 45 Divine Power Fragments?]

【whether……】

...

After a series of notifications, all the [Dream Fragments] were consumed.

Cao Xing patted his backpack with satisfaction, then glanced at the attributes of the two new blueprints.

[Mosin Pillar Upgrade Blueprint]

[Quality: Legend]

[Blueprint effect: When the energy station reaches level 30 (maximum level), it can be upgraded to 'Mosin Pillar Lv1']

...

...

[Lord's Temple Upgrade Blueprint]

[Quality: Legend]

[Blueprint effect: When the Lord's Castle reaches level 30 (maximum level), it can be upgraded to 'Lord's Temple Lv1']

[Lord's Temple Lv1 Effect: Population cap increased by 100%, 'Abundance Aura' effect increased by 50%, Loyalty of all members within the territory increased by 20]

(Note: Once you have this blueprint, you can directly upgrade a max-level 'Lord's Castle' to a 'Lord's Temple', but each subsequent upgrade will require materials.)
...

...

"Holy crap! That's insane!?"

Cao Xing's eyes widened, his pupils filled with disbelief.

He had assumed that the blueprints for these two core buildings would at most be similar in nature to the original buildings.

At most, the energy towers will increase the heating range, and the lord's castle will increase the population.

Unexpectedly, this was only the most basic function!
The Mosin Pillar not only increases the heating range by a full 300%, but also reduces energy consumption by 50%.

Most importantly, there are two incredible special effects: [Divine Power Abundance] and [Energy Shield Resonance].

The former can increase the recovery speed of the territory members' 'divine power value', which is obviously very important to Cao Xing.

The latter can even increase the durability of the energy shield!
After reaching the maximum level, the improvement is an astonishing 300%!

"This is insane... With this Pillar of Mosin, if it is upgraded to the maximum level, a legendary-level expert can recover at least a dozen points of divine power per day."

"If you're a demigod, you can even recover more than thirty points of health within your respective class's building!"

It should be noted that most of the legendary powerhouses in his territory possess the ability to convert divine power into 'divine power fragments'.

Once things stabilize in the future, with the blessing of the Pillar of Mosin, the legendary creatures in the territory alone will be able to produce a large number of 'Divine Power Shards' every day!

The subsequent [Magic Shield Amplification] effect greatly increases the durability of the 'Static Magic Shield', significantly enhancing its defensive capabilities.

In addition, the second core building, the Lord's Temple, is also incredibly powerful.

Once the upgrade is successful, the population cap can be increased by 100%.

It's worth noting that Cao Xing's current max-level lord's castle has a population cap of 3.

Adding the extra 10 reward for building Starfire City, the total comes to 13.

Now that the population has doubled, it's a whopping 26!
With such a large population, he could build a large legion and arm the entire blizzard plains like an impregnable fortress.

The later added abilities, [Divine Decree] and [Lord's Majesty], are merely incidental.

"call……"

Cao Xing let out a long sigh of relief, calming his inner excitement.

Then he turned his head and looked at the two buildings in the center of the territory: the energy tower and the lord's castle.

The black energy tower has concentric blue patterns on its surface, which flicker and shimmer like breathing.

Its overall height reached over fifty meters, resembling a giant magical pillar that provided heat to the entire territory.

The lord's castle next door is over thirty meters high, divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Its outer walls are made of dark silver magical metal, which gleams coldly in the moonlight.

Flags fluttered atop the castle, and warm orange light shone from every window.

"According to the instructions on the blueprint, as long as you exchange for the blueprint and upgrade the [Energy Station] and [Lord's Castle] to the maximum level, you can proceed with the upgrade."

Cao Xing muttered to himself, "Now, I can finally use these two blueprints."

Yes, after several months of construction and development, both of his core buildings in his territory have been upgraded to the maximum level.

So he took the two blueprints out of his backpack.

[Use blueprints to upgrade 'Energy Tower Lv30' to 'Mosin Pillar Lv1'?]

This upgrade will take 728 hours/35 minutes...

[Do you wish to use the blueprint to upgrade 'Lord's Castle lv30' to 'Lord's Temple lv1'?]

This upgrade will take 965 hours/41 minutes...

...

Upon seeing these two prompts, Cao Xing couldn't help but click his tongue: "Tsk... the time required for this upgrade is really outrageous, it will take at least a month."

"It seems that these buildings will take longer and longer to upgrade after reaching a certain level."

"Fortunately, this upgrade does not require materials or staff."

With that in mind, he clicked 'OK' directly.

The next moment, the blueprints in his hand disappeared, turning into two balls of dark blue light that enveloped the two enormous buildings.

The blue wrinkles on the surface of the energy tower suddenly brightened, pulsating like blood vessels.

The castle began to tremble slightly, emitting a low, resonant sound.

On the building interface, it all displays 'Upgrading...'

It's worth mentioning that even while undergoing upgrades, both buildings still function normally.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. In just over a month, these two buildings will complete their transformation, which will boost the strength of my territory."

"And I plan to head to the Frozen Sea next to complete a series of missions."

"By the time we get back from there, it should be almost fully upgraded."

After consuming these two rewards, the next step is to check the reserve of [Divine Power Fragments].

As one of the most precious resources, it can also be said to be what Cao Xing urgently needs right now.

I glanced at the total number of items in my backpack.

[Divine Power Shards * 395]

...

"It's alright, about the same as last month, nothing has changed."

Keep in mind that he had just spent over two million 'Dream Fragments' to exchange for more than forty 'Divine Power Fragments'.

The total number hasn't changed much, which sounds unbelievable.

This is naturally because Cao Xing arranged for four territory members to enter the Dream Library in turn during this period.

They are: Ice Orchid the Dragon Speaker, Andrew the Legendary Druid, Hilda the Blood Spider Queen, and Francesca the Witch.

The reason for this arrangement is that the last three all possess status skills, meaning they can still share in the experience points of other team members even while they are asleep in the dream.

You can level up even while lying down.

As for Binglan, since she was among the first to break through to the legendary level, and with the recent events, Binglan has successfully reached the maximum level of 150, so there is no need for her to continue fighting.

All four of them brought back some decent abilities or items from the dream.

The first is Binglan, who inherited a special legacy in her dream and learned the [Dragon God Sword Technique]. This sword technique includes seven basic skills: Flying Dragon Slash, Dragon God Assault, Dragon God Pierce, etc...

Each time she uses it, a dragon-shaped aura wraps around her blade, greatly increasing her attack range and damage.

In addition, this sword technique also includes a legendary combat skill and a demigod skill.

They are [Dragon Blade Unrivaled - Soul Chaser (Legendary)] and [Dragon Starfall (Demigod Skill)].

However, she will need some time to learn the other two skills.

The second is Andrew, a druid who brought back a level 150 epic necklace called [Nature's Blessing] from the dream, which can increase the damage and effect of nature skills by 40%.

Moreover, this necklace seems to be able to be upgraded into a legendary necklace called "Nature's Law" by collecting some kind of mysterious item.

However, since there are no specific clues, we will put it on hold for the time being.

The third Blood Spider Queen, Hilda, awakened a special golden talent in her dream called [Spider Queen Web Weaving].

This ability makes her spider silk incredibly tough, so tough that even legendary-level experts cannot cut it in a short time.

Moreover, her spider silk contains a potent blood poison that can inflict a continuous [Crimson Abyss Poison] effect on enemies.

After awakening this ability, Hilda can lay down a large number of spider silks before battle, turning the entire battlefield into her hunting ground.

It can be said that this Blood Spider Queen has acquired another unique combat style in addition to hatching the Blood Spider Legion and stacking [Crimson Abyss Poison].

The fourth witch, Francesca, was rather special.

In her dream, she brought back a tattered copy of the Aldrich Pharmacopoeia, which contained some long-lost secret medicine recipes.

Although it contains only one-third of the content, it records the recipes and refining methods of at least dozens of secret medicines, and there are also two legendary secret medicine recipes!
During this time, she was both refining secret medicines in the alchemy workshop and studying the Aldrich Pharmacopoeia, to the point of neglecting to eat or sleep.

Cao Xing sighed, "The things the four legends brought back from the dream are all very good. Once things have stabilized, I'll also try them out in the dream."

He dared not enter a dream now, after all, he had just broken ties with the Vatican and had to guard against their retaliation.

If the Vatican were to launch a surprise attack while he was in a dream, he would be left without anyone to coordinate the overall situation.

Although many powerful figures in the territory possess the ability to command battles, they are ultimately not Cao Xing and do not have Cao Xing's prestige.

"However... it's not a long-term solution to always be on guard against those guys from the Vatican..."

"We still need to find an opportunity to solve this once and for all!"

Cao Xing's voice grew colder, and a hint of chill appeared in his eyes.

He whispered, "The power of the Holy See is immense, but its main strength lies in its divine-level power."

"If they are only demigod-level enemies, I will not fear any number of them!"

"As long as I possess the power to contend with the gods, I will no longer need to fear the Holy See."

"And... that day is coming soon!"

Through the previous battles, Cao Xing, relying on the power of three demigods, had already defeated the God of Light, who had one-tenth of the fighting strength.

If we improve further and more demigods are born in our territory, we will be completely fearless even when we encounter true gods!

Cao Xing nodded secretly and said, "Currently, there are quite a few people in my territory who meet the requirements for breaking through to demigod status."

"Now, let's take stock of the upgrade status of these powerful individuals."

The ranking is still based on level.

The top-tier powerhouses in the territory are naturally Liu Muxue and Isabel Gospel.

As demigod-level beings, their levels are 158 and 160 respectively.

Among the strong in the second tier are Dragon Speaker Ice Orchid, Andrew, Hilda, Francesca, Zevilin, Sarah Blade Dance... and Cao Xing himself.

These are all beings who have reached level 150, the maximum level, and are capable of transforming into demigods.

There are seven people in total.

Besides these, there are the legendary powerhouses in the third tier.

They are: Malenina, Bronn Ironwall, Assam, Renis, Xiao, Bojie Sunchaser, Dragon Serafis, and Demon Dragon Bingbing, a total of eight creatures.

他们的等级分别是：146级，147级、143级、136级、138级、126级、139级、135级……

With so many legendary and demigod creatures, it can be said that there are truly countless powerful beings.

After tallying the number of powerful individuals in the territory, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction once again.

"That's right, besides me, there are 6 other people who meet the requirements to break through to demigod."

"The other legends are also close to reaching the maximum level, and soon there will be more demigod candidates."

"Moreover... I still have quite a few key materials in my backpack that I need to break through to demigod status..."

He glanced at his backpack, where five different colored divine flames flickered, radiating divine power.

These are: [Bloodline Divine Fire], [Echo Divine Fire], [Nightmare Divine Fire], [Wind Divine Fire], [Light Divine Fire]...

These five divine flames have been accumulated over this period of time, and now it's almost time for them to come into play!

"As long as I have enough 'divine power fragments', I can purify all five divine flames."

"Then let all five legendary figures in my territory break through to the next level, adding five more demigod-level powerhouses!"

"At that time, even if a true god descends to earth, I dare to challenge him!"

Cao Xing's eyes were filled with confidence!

Of course, it's not an easy task to get so many people to break through to the legendary level.

Even if he has a large reserve of divine fire, the number of 'divine power fragments' he needs is astronomical.

Based on the calculation that purifying a divine fire requires 200 fragments and activating divinity requires another 200 fragments, a legendary figure would need at least 400 fragments to break through to demigod status.

The five individuals together possess 2000 'Divine Power Fragments,' equivalent to 5 Divine Power Points.

This doesn't even take into account that some of them might fail once, so the actual cost could be even higher!
Cao Xing sighed and said, "These [Divine Power Fragments] are a huge drain on resources. I only have less than 400 left in my backpack, barely enough for a demigod to break through."

"We're still a long way from 2000..."

"Furthermore, to give Malenina god-level combat power, a full 10 points of divine power are needed, which is equivalent to 1 [divine power fragments]..."

"There's never enough of this stuff..."

After some thought, Cao Xing couldn't come up with a way to quickly obtain a large number of [Divine Power Fragments] in a short period of time.

He shook his head and said, "Before that, let's help one of them transform into a demigod."

He thought for a moment, quickly scrolling through the candidates.

Finally, the image freezes on a blood-red, eerie figure.

Cao Xing said in a low voice, "Let Xierda break through to demigod status first."

There are many reasons to choose this Blood Spider Queen for transformation.

Firstly, because she is powerful enough.

Especially with two golden talents: Crimson Abyss Poison and Spider Queen Web, he can be said to be a true one-man army.

Secondly, because she is a legendary creature of the bloodline type.

Cao Xing happened to have a [Blood Divine Fire] in her backpack, which perfectly matched her attributes and could be used directly without consuming [Divine Power Fragments] for purification.

In this way, he could not only save 200 divine power fragments for daily use, but also have a greater chance of successfully transforming Hildag into a demigod.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear: "Hilda, come to the center of the territory to find me."

A moment later, the Blood Spider Queen's somewhat impatient voice came through the communicator: "Tch... I was just about to fall asleep when you woke me up again."

Before Cao Xing could speak, she yawned lazily: "I know, this queen is coming right now."

After the call ended, Cao Xing smiled, his expression unchanged.

He was already used to the Blood Spider Queen's personality.

After standing there and waiting for a few minutes.

A graceful figure walked in the moonlight.

She moved with eight long, slender spider legs, her upper body was that of a stunningly beautiful human woman, and her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently in the night breeze.

When she arrived at Cao Xing's side, Xierda crossed her arms and slightly opened the compound eyes on her forehead.

She covered her mouth slightly and yawned: "What do you need this queen for so late?"

"We've been fighting in that weird place all month, and haven't even caught a decent prey."

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "I know you've worked hard, so I was just preparing a reward for you."

Upon hearing the word 'reward,' Hildag's compound eyes snapped open instantly...
