Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

Pulling her wandering thoughts back, Jiang Mengyao got up and entered the divine realm once again.

With my current strength, even if I go to the public exploration area with Li Xue next month, I won't be able to offer her any help. I might as well focus on developing my own divine domain.

In the realm of gods——

Lin Fan was curiously observing how a skeleton in 'good' physical condition transformed into 'excellent'.

In his view, this skeleton should have used this power to advance to the extraordinary level, so why was it still stuck at the ordinary stage of strengthening its body? He temporarily attributed this inexplicable phenomenon to some characteristic of the divine realm.

Moreover, he discovered that an energy was also surrounding his body, subtly repairing it without requiring him to fall asleep.

Of course, restoring the body through sleep would be a faster option, but since most of Jiang Mengyao's divine domain had already been absorbed by him, he was too embarrassed to use sleep to fully restore himself.

"If all the skeletons born in this divine realm have this characteristic, then there are many skeleton units that can unleash tremendous potential."

The types of troops Lin Fan could think of included skeleton archers, skeleton heavy shield guards, heavily armored skeleton knights, heavily armored skeleton giants, and so on.

"Hmm, but this girl seems to really need beast-shaped skeletons right now. We don't have any other materials here, so let's start by raising some skeleton tigers and skeleton archers."

With that in mind, Lin Fan casually drew two small (10-meter) magic circles in the air, which were used to spawn the Skeleton Tiger and the Skeleton Archer, respectively.

"It needs some more energy to operate, so we'll use the death energy from the divine realm to power it."

As for using his own energy to drive it, not to mention that he doesn't have much energy available in his body, and his body hasn't finished repairing itself yet!

He only has the front half of his dragon body up to this day!

After slightly adjusting the energy loop within the magic circle so that it could absorb external death energy to maintain its operation, Lin Fan placed them in two corners of the divine realm.

"As for the skeletons that have already been created, and the skeletons that will be created naturally in the future, let's turn them into Skeleton Guards. There are front-line tanks, AD carries, scouts, and 'cavalry'. This lineup is simply perfect. I am a true genius for designing this lineup."

Lin Fan praised himself inwardly, humming a little tune as he began to draw the magic circle to transform the skeleton guards.

"No shield equipment? That's easy. There are definitely enough thick bones to make shields. As for weapons, let's just take a bone for now, and we can make bone swords and bone knives later."

Lin Fan kept working, using the vast knowledge brought by the bone dragon's memories to continuously improve the magic circle. After several days, a medium-sized (hundred meters) magic circle appeared above his head.

"I didn't expect drawing a mid-level magic circle to take so long. It seems my current strength has barely recovered to the elite level."

He shook his head, casually found a spot to set up the magic circle, and then took out a dictionary and a history of the development of gods through the auxiliary panel and began to read.

For him, this history book was more like an interesting story, which kept him engrossed in reading it for a year.

A sense of being swallowed surged from within him once more, pulling Lin Fan out of the ocean of knowledge.

This feeling of being devoured was exactly the same as the feeling of devouring goblins a year ago.

Lin Fan guessed that this should be his talent 'Feast' that no one had ever awakened before.

And Feast, wasn't that the signature skill of a giant worm?

As for why this talent can only be used after a year, it should be the so-called cooldown period.

After scanning left and right, I realized that I had no desire to devour the skeletons around me.

"Looks like we'll have to waste this opportunity to devour it. Oh well, so be it."

Lin Fan didn't care at all about wasting his devouring attempts. He was joking, after all. As a bone dragon who had mastered countless dragon language spells, would he really go and fight his enemies hand-to-hand?

If the enemy really gets close enough to me, I won't need to be a bone dragon anymore; I might as well just commit suicide and reincarnate.

Shifting his body to a different position, Lin Fan continued to read comfortably.

......

Twelve years after the Divine Realm—

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Fan. It was Jiang Mengyao.

"I'm a little late today."

Lin Fan spoke calmly. Over the years, Jiang Mengyao would come to talk to him from time to time, discussing the cultivation of skeletons. The frequency was very regular, but this time she was a little late.

"Go collect the resources distributed by the Federation. This month, we received forty Divine Realm Resource Cards (three terrain cards were exchanged for 30 resource cards), and three Creature Cards. What do you think is the best way to use these resources?"

As Jiang Mengyao handed out the various cards in her hand, she unceremoniously sat down in the chair. In the past few days (at the real-world flow rate), she had come to admire this skeletal dragon. Its profound knowledge often benefited her greatly, and a lot of trust had grown between the god and the dragon.

"There's nothing of value in these resource cards; they can only be used to generate death energy."

As Lin Fan spoke, he distributed the resource cards.

Give 20 resource cards to the location of the skeleton archer, and distribute the remaining slots equally.

"As for these bio cards..."

Lin Fan paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"I'll use these bio cards; I won't waste them."

Jiang Mengyao nodded and used the resource card.

As for Lin Fan's ability to use the bio-card, she could only say that it was both unexpected and surprising.

After all, the opponent has already been recognized by the support panel, so isn't it normal for them to be able to use these cards?

"Li Xue told me that once she uses up the resources allocated by the Federation this month, she will enter the public exploration zone."

Hearing Jiang Mengyao's somewhat worried words, Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then retrieved the name from his vast memory—Jiang Mengyao's best friend, whose clan was half-elf. He spoke softly:

"Although I don't know what a half-elf looks like, she dares to enter the public exploration zone now, so she must have her own reasons. If you're worried, wait another two months, when a considerable number of her family members will have entered the transcendent stage. At that time, you can also enter the public exploration zone in advance to find resources."

"Huh? Is it that fast?"

Jiang Mengyao raised her head in disbelief. Is advancing from a skeleton level really that simple?

"They didn't have it originally, but after the transformation, their potential should have increased. The first batch of members to be transformed are already close to breaking through to the extraordinary level in my perception."

"As for Number One, he is already extraordinary, but I don't know why he didn't choose to transform into another type of soldier through my magic circle."
