“Master, we’re ready!”

In the Temple of Providence, an Iron Buddha bowed at Ji Ye with great respect.

“Good. Let’s get started.”

Ji Ye nodded.

He then communicated with the settlement core through his mind, and the twin dragons of providence emerged.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two young dragons had almost gained their physical forms.

They seemed to realize that they were going to make a breakthrough and looked rather excited.

Dazzling golden light came out of their mouths, covering all the offerings and Souls of Civilization below!

Over a dozen Commander-level Souls of Civilization were used, and that was the largest scale the Twin Dragon Mount had ever seen.

Recently, the Twin Dragon Island hadn’t performed many group sacrificial rituals.

For one, modifying the environment of the four islands and producing resources would all cost the power of providence.

For another, they were worried that one of the requirements to rise to the Transcendent level was to accumulate a lot of power of providence.

But now, the conditions had been clearly laid out, and naturally, their plan changed as well.

The great number of Souls of Civilization accumulated in the battles against the Snake Monkeys and the Magma Monsters had to be used up in the next seven days. They were going to summon a lot of people for the battles to come.

What was worth mentioning was that, out of the Commander-level Souls of Civilization, two were Extraordinary Rank-7 ones!

The Twin Dragon Island had tried to summon two more Transcendent Perfect heroes with the two Souls of Civilization dropped by the Magma Monsters.

But both attempts failed.

The hero summoned by the Thunder Halberd failed to pass the test.

Because the Yuan South King was a very formidable warrior—almost as formidable as the Yuan emperor himself—he was one of the top Transcendent warriors. In the Battlefield of Providence, he was able to sneak into the heavily protected Xiangyang City and almost killed Huang Rong when Guo Jing himself was guarding the city.

Moreover, just like the emperor, he had abandoned his army and came out all by himself, not to mention that he had Thunder Halberd, the powerful weapon.

With the difference in their levels, even a Legendary hero had difficulty in defeating him!

The second time, they used the Water Stopping Stone as an offering.

The female North King wasn’t as formidable, but because the battle was mainly to fight against the power of the offering, it was as difficult as the previous one. Probably because the offering came from a female, no hero answered the summoning!

To activate a special offering would cost the Twin Dragon Island a lot of power of providence.

After the two failures, Ji Ye decided that they would summon Extraordinary heroes instead.

After all, even if they had summoned two Transcendent heroes, there was no way that they could rise to the Transcendent level from Extraordinary Rank-7 in seven days.

Therefore, their actual fighting ability wouldn’t differ much from top Extraordinary heroes.

Hum!

To suppress an offering of Extraordinary Rank-7 and above would cost the settlement quite a lot of power of providence.

Therefore, although quite a few Souls of Civilization were being used together today, the two dragons still activated the two Extraordinary Rank-7 offerings individually.

Hum!

The first offering activated a blob of white light with black smoke, a Fire Core, and bubbling magma.

[Demon, Fire Core, Magma]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Description: This rare offering was left behind by a Magma Monster Commander.]

“Roar!”

The activated magma turned into a demon-like monster with smoke rising from its body. There was a savage look in its eyes.

[“Red tassels like roaring flames flap on his helmet. His brocade robe is bright red, and he wears a band of gold around his waist. The boots he wears have a hint of green, and his armor is shiny silver. His horse reminds one of a fabulous legendary beast. His spiked club is thick inlaid with copper nails. When he’s angry, he opens his eyes so wide…”]

The sound of chanting the poem resonated in the air.

The Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization transformed into a warrior hero almost as stalwart as Lu Zhishen. He wore a scarlet red helmet and was dressed in mail with a flaming red beast head on the chest.

The weapon he wielded was a purple spiked club as thick as an adult’s thigh. It was nearly two meters long, and the spikes glinted in the light.

“Die!”

Once he took his physical form, the imposing warrior hero charged at the Demon Magma Monster without hesitation.

Boom, boom, boom…

The following battle was one of the smoothest summon challenges of heroes of Superior grade and above after all this time.

Although the offering was of a relatively high level and had some sort of demon bloodline, it didn’t have any special power.

Moreover, suppressed by the Twin Dragon Island’s power of providence, which had become even more powerful, the Demon Magma Monster wasn’t its rival’s match, for the latter also gave off a fire-like energy.

Wielding his giant spiked club, he smashed the monster into a pile of smoldering magma in less than 20 strikes.

Splash…

After that, in the golden light of the power of providence, the “Demon, Fire Core, Magma” Extraordinary Rank-7 offerings turned into a spiked club that gave off a heavy black smoke and could burst into flames when one waved it around.

It then fell into the hands of the stalwart Commander hero who had finally shown his face. The beard on his face reminded one of the hard wires.

[Qin Ming]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description: Fierce Star, nicknamed “Fiery Thunderbolt”. He was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Liangshan cavalry. The man is short-tempered, has a thundering voice, and is very capable.]

Here came another Heavenly Spirits hero of the Water Margin!

Of all the three armed forces of Lianshang, the cavalry was the most powerful one.

There were as many as 13 cavalry chiefs among the Heavenly Spirits. They were the Five Tiger Generals and Eight Horse Chiefs.

Yang Zhi the Blue Faced Beast was one of the more capable members of the Twin Dragon Mount. However, he was only one of the Eight Horse Chiefs. Naturally, the Five Tiger Generals were more capable warriors.

Among the five, Qin Ming “the Fiery Thunderbolt” was ranked only behind Guan Sheng “the Great Blade” and Lin Chong “the Panther Head”. He was ranked the seventh of the 108 members of Liangshan.

In the Water Margin, Guan Sheng was said to be a descendant of Guan Yu, and Lin Chong was known as “Junior Zhang Fei”.

Although Qin Ming “the Fiery Thunderbolt” was only a Superior hero, in terms of fighting skill, he wasn’t much weaker than Wu Song or Lu Zhishen.

Of course, that was when the differences created by their talent abilities weren’t put into consideration.

“Master! Thank you, everyone!”

Qin Ming’s thundering voice was full of gratitude.

He used to be a commander-in-chief of Qingzhou in the Song Dynasty. His original fate was to become a victim of Song Jiang’s scheme. The magistrate of the district killed his family as a result, and he was forced to become an outlaw.

After learning his original fate, he was excited to come to the Twin Dragon Island.

“Commander Qin is indeed as powerful as we heard. Your arrival at the Twin Dragon Island is like giving wings to a tiger for us. I’m sure you’ll bring great success to us!” Ji Ye opened his mouth and said.

Despite the smile on his face, he was slightly disappointed.

From the perspective of a modern man, apart from his martial prowess, Qin Ming was rather common in other aspects.

Although Song Jiang caused the death of his wife and children, which forced him to become an outlaw, he identified with Song Jiang in the end and even married the sister of Hua Rong “the Little Li Guang”.

Of course, according to the novel, it was all because their stars agreed with each other, which was imposed by the author. Qin Ming didn’t have anything to do with it.

However, Ji Ye was still a little disappointed.

Because the ideal candidate of the sacrificial ritual this time should be Guan Sheng “the Great Saber”, who was a descendant of Guan Yu.

Hua Rong “the Little Li Guang” would also be great, for the man had both capability and potential. It would be perfect if they could summon Lin Chong “the Panther Head”!
