The Era of Gods

However, this doesn’t mean they should fuse directly. Slight modifications are possible, such as fusing two ore cards into a single, larger ore card.

A simple fusion that does not require Creation Energy.

Two ancient quality ore vein cards lay before him; he then drew two gleaming gold cards from his hand deck. These were also ore cards, one a medium-sized red copper ore and the other a small silver mine.

As silver mines are more valuable than basic ores like iron and copper, a small silver vein is thus a gold myth quality card.

All ore veins come with a regeneration ability, but it is generally low, and except for a few special ores, they include random associated minerals. Nobody knows exactly what those will be until the ore vein card is loaded.

Lin Xiao’s task was simple: throw all four ore cards into the Creation Magic Cube, then break down several useless cards into nutrients, and finally fuse all the ore vein cards into a single, new large ore card.

Yes, it was still a large ore card, but there are degrees of large. In actuality, it was equivalent to two or three large iron mines in size, the ore vein’s quality upgraded from regular to rich, and the card maintained its ancient quality.

Five Star Resource Card—Large Mixed Rich Ore Vein Card (Ancient): Can be loaded into the Divine Realm, creating a large mixed rich ore vein at a designated location, containing iron, red copper, silver, and other minerals.

Note: As long as the vein is not mined to exhaustion, it can regenerate indefinitely.

Note: The ore vein includes random types of associated minerals.

Next, he retrieved two weather cards from his deck, one of rain and the other of fog. These fused into one…

…a weather card that encompasses both light rain and fog.

However, he didn’t immediately load this card into the Divine Realm but set it aside. Although it was essential for the Divine Realm, there was no need to load it immediately. He planned to exchange some unnecessary cards for more weather-related cards, and then directly synthesize one large weather card to load into the Divine Realm, to save on card slots.

Then, Lin Xiao flipped through his card pack and found a total of nine cards, those basic exotic knowledge cards acquired during the first two stages of the Summer Camp.

Such as Basic Exotic Machinery Construction, Basic Exotic Alchemy, Basic Exotic Engineering, etc.

Originally, there were only six cards, but in his most recently acquired deck, there were three new knowledge cards: Basic Exotic First Aid, Basic Exotic Herbal Medicine, and Basic Exotic Biology.

These foundational subjects encompass an entire set of basic knowledge, researched and improved by scientists from the Main World who integrated various magical insights from the Different Domain. This methodology was far more advanced than the so-called technology of The Aboriginals of exotic world, so even the seemingly low-tech First Aid or the high-end Machinery Construction were regarded as Five Star Mythical level cards.

Lin Xiao’s task was very simple: throw all nine subject cards into the Creation Magic Cube and then synthesize them into a single card, thus only taking up one card slot.

As the nine shining gold cards were tossed in, and while fusing, he thought for a moment and dumped a heap of odds and ends, books, and scrolls he had scavenged from the Magic High Tower after breaching Alfonso City in the Shattered plane. This included the construction blueprints of the Magic High Tower and the incomplete Blood Mage advancement scroll.

With a wave of his hand, the Magic Cube started to rotate slowly. The many cards and materials collapsed, but under the effect of the Creation Magic Cube, their refined essences were neatly segregated. As a powerful pull from the center of the Magic Cube attracted them, the differently colored essences circled around the pull, transformed into streams of light, and flowed into it.

When all the streams of light gathered into the vortex, Lin Xiao suddenly widened his eyes with a look of surprise:

“It can even work like this?”

According to the feedback from the Creation Magic Cube, after fusing many knowledge cards, a peculiar change occurred. If he invested another ten million Power of Faith and a unit of Creation Energy, he could synthesize a special miracle card.

Just like the Bloody gladiator arena transformed into the ancient arena, it was a miracle card.

This decision required no hesitation. With resolve, Lin Xiao sent an entire ten million Power of Faith in a milky white torrent into the vortex at the center of the Magic Cube, along with strands of Creation Energy surrounding it, approaching the vortex.

All the energy merged into the vortex, exploded violently, and then in an instant contracted into a single point. Suspended in the brilliant light was an intensely luminous crystal card.

He pinched the crystal card from the Magic Cube, its light second only to the Flame Melt Sea Card, even stronger than the ancient arena.

Five Star Miracle Card—Tower of Truth (Ancient): When loaded into the Divine Realm, it forms a Miracle Tower containing boundless knowledge.

Note: Knowledge can continuously be filled into the Tower of Truth.

After synthesizing this card, he then created two combined cards. One was a Super Large Shallow Sea Aquarium Comprehensive Card, which included dozens of shallow sea aquatic creature communities, each with sufficient numbers for reproduction.

The other was a Super Large Wild Horse Herd Card. He based it on a type of prairie wild horse, transplanting the size and strength, as well as the thick armor-like skin features of the Armored Rhino from another card onto the horse. Even the robust horn of the rhino was transplanted onto the head, resulting in a new breed of horse that was large in stature, all muscle, with stout limbs, armored body, and a sharp, powerful rhino horn on its head— combining the speed of horses with the temper and combat power of rhinos.

The newly created horses were named Unicorns by Lin Xiao, with an average strength of around Level 3 when fully grown, starting with a population of a thousand.

After completing these tasks, the card fusion was essentially done.

The Unicorn Card and the Super Large Shallow Sea Aquarium Comprehensive Card could be loaded into the Divine Realm first, as the current area of the Divine Realm was large enough to sustain them; they could start reproducing when the Divine Realm expanded further in the future.

As for the Tower of Truth Card…

He communicated with his number one Clan, Naga Slardar, and issued a Divine – mandate.

In the central Temple of Naga City, where Slarda was conducting his daily prayers, his massive form lay prostrate on the smooth stone slabs in devout supplication. In front of him stood a colossal statue of the Supreme Naga, surrounded by a faint and formless aura of awe and divine might.

Each time Lin Xiao made his True-Body Descend, he used the Big Naga form, and thus the Clan viewed him in this likeness.

In the mysterious beyond, at some unknown moment, the deity statue began to emit a faint divine light, and the gemstone pupils embedded in the face of the immense statue suddenly came to life. As Lin Xiao descended, he immediately felt the closeness of sincere devotion. Compared with their last encounter, this believer was even more devout; around Slarda’s form emanated a faint divine radiance, of the exact same nature as his True Body but extremely weak.

This believer was already on the path of becoming a Saint, as told in legends. Once Lin Xiao solidified his Godhood and became a Demigod, it wouldn’t be long before he could become a true Saint.

“Not in vain did I put in so much effort to nurture him, and he even has a touch of Divinity!”

At this point, Slarda had stepped into the realm of Rank 7 as a Divine Being. Lin Xiao nodded, opening this believer’s Attribute Panel:

Assessment: This is a very powerful Legendary Hero, he is the mountain, he is the boulder, he is Strength itself!

Compared to Rank 6, Slarda’s strength had improved comprehensively, and his size had grown significantly, from the previous twenty-five meters from head to tail to now thirty-five meters.

Moreover, this state was not his limit—he was still growing.

As a Legendary hero, with additional enhancements from his status as a Divine Being and the unique talent of Heroic Tyrant Body, Slarda’s individual strength has reached the upper echelons of Rank 7, only a step away from Rank 8 Legend.

And as he continually tapped into the potential granted by Divinity, his strength would surge even further, and it was possible that in the near future he would grow into an extraordinary creature like Dragons, capable of challenging those beyond his own rank.

Satisfied with closing his subordinate’s Attribute Panel, Lin Xiao made a mental note and the praying Slarda suddenly looked up, his low prayers gradually rising in volume, his voice like thunder:

“Oh, Supreme Creator, you are the One, you are the All, you are the only Light, your devoted Slarda listens here for Your Gospel!”

As Slarda’s voice faded, the hall returned to silence, save for the barely perceptible sound of Slarda’s breathing.

He remained silent for a long while, but Slarda continued to lie motionless on the ground, his posture and thoughts as devout as at the beginning.

After a good while, a voice, as if coming from the Vault of Heaven, rang in Slarda’s ears. It instructed him to summon all his Clan to prepare for a grand sacrificial ceremony.

After issuing the Divine-mandate to Slarda, Lin Xiao left the Divine Realm; the mandate he issued was simple: to have him summon all his Clan..
