329 The Eternal Star Stele

Before he took action, Ling Yi even carefully reevaluated the situation.

[You flew up to the altar and used the [Ancient Divine Body] and the triumphant Red Lotus to successfully break the barrier with a 200x Fire Wave. You touched the legendary ancient tablet. When the Beast God’s attack arrived, you had already returned.]

“Sure enough! Huaa-”

Ling Yi let out a sigh of relief. He finally had the correct “Strategy”.

Without any hesitation, he flew up with the Ice Queen.

When they reached the top of the altar, some of the monsters below also noticed them and chased after them.

“Xiao Bing.”

“Yes!”

The Ice Queen flew to the edge of the top and began to create ice barriers to block the monsters below.

Ling Yi, on the other hand, turned around and flew to the high platform where the legendary ancient monument was.

It was a triangular platform with two large stone tablets on the left and right corners, while the front corner was empty.

“Eh? Don’t tell me…”

When Ling Yi saw this, he immediately realized that the “Eternal Spirit-Protecting Tablet”, one of the three legendary ancient tablets, might have been placed here before.

He had mutated the ordinary “Spirit Guardian Monument” into “Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument”…. Does that mean the original one had disappeared?

Ling Yi wasn’t sure if it was as he had guessed, but things might change if he delayed any longer. He didn’t have the time to think about it now.

He took out his Battle Flag and attached the Elemental Spirit Blade to it. Then—

‘Ancient Divine Body!’

‘Red Lotus’s Triumph, activate!’

Then, he dashed toward the barrier that was protecting the green monument on the left and hacked at it with all his might!

In the blink of an eye, a distinctive “crack” was heard, and the next thing he knew the barrier shattered!

Almost at the same time, an unparalleled pressure that seemed to come from the vast starry sky descended from the sky. It was as if the heavens had dropped its will, but it also seemed like a high-dimensional life form had appeared.

Ling Yi felt his heart beat faster and the blood in his body boil.

He didn’t waste a single second and teleported to the side of the ancient monument, placing his hand into his bag!

In the next moment, he, the green monument, and the Ice Queen all disappeared from the area!

…

“Phew… Fortunately, I had the Premonition Prompt.”

Ling Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he returned to the living room safe and sound.

If he didn’t have this item, he would have thought to fight against the Beast God today, knowing how impossible it would be.

Although… Despite the Prompt foretold of his unfortunate defeat, Ling Yi still believed that he had a chance of counterattacking without actually fighting.

However, he couldn’t help frowning at the thought of being killed instantly.

‘Although that Beast God was able to kill me in an instant by using a surprise attack, what kind of method did it use? Instant death ability? Several times the damage like me? Or something else?’

The talent [Divine Power of Summoning] could make his summoned beast immune to instant death, but he himself had no resistance to instant death.

Ling Yi had to think of a way to defend against instant-death abilities.

‘No, other than instant death, it could also deal damage that is several times more powerful than mine… Any Beast King with this ability is terrifying. If a Beast God has it, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that I can be killed instantly.’

Ling Yi thought he wouldn’t need to look for defensive Skills since his Constitution was high enough. However, it seemed that defensive Skills were indeed necessary.

He needed to be immune to instant death.

In the face of double damage, he needed to use damage reduction Skills.

Of course, it would be best for Ling Yi if he could combine the two.

Shaking his head, he opened his bag and looked at the legendary ancient tablet.

[Eternal Star Stele]: One of the three legendary ancient steles. It will officially take effect when it is placed in one place.

[1. Players can go to the stele to carry out the “Star-Moon Baptism” and obtain an additional 10 Star Slots. Each star-moon baptism requires a certain amount of power of the stars and the moon.]

[2. There will be no clouds blocking the night sky in the area, and the monument can absorb the power of the stars and the moon under the starry sky.]

“Only 10 Star Slots? That’s…”

Ling Yi’s first thought was that it couldn’t be compared to the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the original effect of the Eternal Spirit Guardian Monument was not that good either. It was “one drop of blood for one year, and only once in a lifetime”.

Well… Both of them were not that good if he were to compare them this way.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi started to “strengthen” the monument.

…

At the same time.

In the Divine Union’s headquarters on Shenxia’s capital, Tianyuan Island, a meeting ‘targeting’ Ling Yi was being held quietly.

The participants included Minister Tong Wei, the four divine emissaries, the Divine Union’s Think Tank, as well as the two Divine Pillars, Meng Lin and Yun Huiguang, who were there to listen and supervise.

They used a fixed teleportation device to teleport from various cities to this place.

Everyone sat around an oval table in an orderly manner.

“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s begin.”

Tong Wei glanced at everyone in a business-like manner and continued, “The current Ling Yi can easily crush unrivaled powerhouses and kill tens of millions of players with a single strike. His strength is terrifying to the point of extreme.”

Everyone nodded seriously.

“Under such circumstances, what should we give him to be worthy of his contribution?” Tong Wei’s face twisted as he asked a seemingly simple but complicated question.

Everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.

The topic they were going to discuss today was exactly what kind of reward they should arrange for Ling Yi.

This was because in the two faction battles today, Ling Yi’s outstanding performance of “killing tens of millions of people with one strike” had excited the entire Shenxia.

The public quickly approached the Divine Union and asked to reward their beloved idol.

[We won the four faction battles today, all thanks to 01! Divine Union, please arrange a reward for our Big Shot!

[YES! If it wasn’t for 01’s unrivaled suppression, we might have won one and lost three battles today!]

[Divine Union, don’t be stingy. Don’t make us look down on you!]

The opinions of countless players on the forums forced the Divine Union to respond in time.

[Divine Union: We are already discussing the reward for Ling Yi. Please do not fret.]

It was due to this very reason that they held a meeting so suddenly.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the Think Tank would have to combine various factors and carefully consider them before they could come up with a reasonable plan.

Tong Wei first looked at the Think Tank members and directed the question at them, “What have you considered before?”

The Think Tank looked at each other, and then a man in black-rimmed glasses at the front adjusted his specs before he replied calmly, “With his current achievements, it’s normal to give him an S-rank item.”

“We originally wanted to arrange for an S-grade permanent item, but there isn’t any in the treasure vault, so we can only arrange for an S-grade one-time use item.”

Another Think Tank member besides the bespectacled man added, “We’ve analyzed his personality and know that he’s a very generous person. So, if he uses an item from the main world as a substitute, I think he would accept it.”

Then, everyone shifted their gazes to Nangong Li.

She was most familiar with that man, after all.

“Hm…”

Nangong Li recalled the time she spent with Ling Yi and couldn’t help but smile. “Actually, I feel that all you need to do is to tell him the actual situation. S-grade? A-grade? It doesn’t matter. In his heart, it’s all about whether they’re useful or not.”

“If it’s useful, even if it’s only a C-grade item, he’ll still try his best to search for it. Focusing on whether giving a high-grade material or item is a waste of time. No matter how high the grade of the item is, I’m afraid you’ll only end up stuffing his storage full,”

Her hidden message is very clear.

She thought it would be best to ask Ling Yi for his opinion first.

“I understand.”

“And I agree,” Tong Wei nodded and smiled. “After today’s discussion, you’ll have to ask him what he wants. We’ll add it to the general reward we’re planning to give him as well.”

“Now let’s talk about general rewards. Do you think an item from the main world will satisfy him?”

Nangong Li muttered to herself for a moment before nodding, “Yes, sir.”

“Alright!”

Tong Wei was overjoyed.

The Divine Union was really powerless to give Ling Yi items. However, they could basically get their hands on any main world item as long as it existed in the world!
