Chapter 355 - Will of the Divine Civilization
“Come to my aid!” Han Wu hollered, and his units rushed to his side.
Steely arrived first, swinging all four arms as he shattered the reanimated principal’s vine shield with ease. Alpheus followed with the lightning Great Dragons. Together, they unleashed a storm of combined breath attacks that drove the reanimated principal deep into the soil of Han Wu’s divine realm.
Hu Chi and Hu Yong descended next, wrenched the reanimated principal from the earth, and struck him with such force that his body was left battered and broken before they hurled him into the sky.
In midair, Dark Locust led a vast swarm that engulfed the enemy, their bodies exploding as they tore chunks of flesh away. Other King units joined the assault, steadily wearing down the principal’s strength to prepare him for Han Wu’s final strike.
Once his units had finished their assault, Han Wu attacked. Now that he had fully recovered his strength, he activated his True Demon King Transformation. His body reached 1,000 meters, while his presence dominated the area.
Xun, Han Wu’s loyal subordinate, emerged from hiding within his master’s shadow. Under Han Wu’s direction, he lunged at the reanimated principal with frenzied aggression, but his strikes lacked the strength to inflict any significant damage.
Han Wu raised his Swordwind Arms, fused them into a colossal blade, and cleaved through his foe with one downward sweep. The reanimated principal crumbled to ash, and with the corpse gone, the Will of the Hell Civilization was left bare within Han Wu’s divine realm.
Han Wu called upon the Will of the Divine Civilization. A bolt of lightning crashed from the heavens and annihilated the sliver of the Hell Civilization’s Will, leaving only a hollow remnant behind.
Han Wu picked it up and discovered it carried more than the hollow Will of the Hell Civilization. It also contained half of the Will of the Assist Civilization. The Hell Civilization’s quintessence had been erased completely, but the quintessence of the Assist Civilization’s Will remained intact.
Ecstasy surged through Han Wu as he held it. With the hollow Will he had obtained previously, he now possessed the foundation to craft a bespoke Will for his divine realm.
This would mark a monumental advance for his divine realm. He had studied countless civilizations, including the Assist Civilization he had just visited. With a fragment of its quintessence embedded in the Will, he could harness its unique laws and integrate them into his domain. He had no doubt it would succeed.
Han Wu resolved not to delay further and concentrated on the sliver of Will in his hands, channeling his own quintessence and ideas into it, including the fundamental rules of the Assist Civilization.
The process consumed an entire realm-month. To integrate his own laws, he spent 20 Divine Essence forging the unique Will of his divine realm.
The sliver’s tiny size allowed only two new laws to be etched. The first mandated that every life form within his divine realm would benefit from the Assist system, as in the Assist Civilization. The second quantified each life form’s data numerically and allowed them to level up through Assists. The laws were simple, but their integration had demanded significant resources.
Han Wu activated the sliver as the Will of his divine realm and completed the incorporation of the new laws. Immediately, all his units realized they could now access the Assist Civilization’s system. They could Assist others based on potential and aptitude.
Steely, for instance, stood as the divine realm’s strongest unit. Among the seven basic potentials, his Agility and Wind potential ranked highest at 129 and 160, respectively. With such attributes, he would easily dominate within the Assist Civilization.
Steely knew he owed his current strength entirely to Han Wu’s resources. In any other divine realm, he could not have accessed the refined Energy Stones produced by the Refinery. Even the core races of those realms would be denied such luxury.
Han Wu’s divine realm was different. He allowed them full use of these resources, ensuring they never went hungry. By investing so fully in their growth, Han Wu strengthened his own realm through the resulting feedback.
Thanks to his strength, Steely could Assist others eighteen times a day, a feat rare even among the strongest. Yet, despite Steely’s prowess, Han Wu’s focus remained on his core race, the locusts. Their numerical advantage promised greater potential. With the Assist Civilization system in place, he was confident he could cultivate even more formidable units. Each day, his divine realm would only grow stronger.
After tending to his units, he recalled the exceptional souls he had harvested from the Assist Civilization. Their power was extraordinary, so he decided to preserve their previous memories before reincarnating them in his divine realm. He knew that doing so would accelerate their growth and integrate them into his elite force.
As he allocated souls for reincarnation, he realized he had unconsciously absorbed Leng Ning’s soul, likely in her final moments. He gently cupped her soul and whispered, “Thank you for taking care of me in the Assist Civilization. Now, it’s my turn.”
Han Wu had a lot of units in his divine realm, but Leng Ning was a reliable companion, so he wanted to reincarnate her into a powerful race. He decided to reincarnate her as a Great Dragon.
Although Han Wu had countless units in his divine realm, Leng Ning had proven herself a reliable companion. He resolved to reincarnate her as a Great Dragon. Apart from Alpheus and the lightning Great Dragons, he also had the silver dragon Erebard.
Since Leng Ning’s primary attribute was ice, and none of his existing Great Dragons had that affinity, he’d arrange for Erebard to mate with the lightning Great Dragons. He hoped that their offspring would inherit the water or ice affinity, creating a suitable vessel for Leng Ning’s soul.
Unfortunately, this process would take time. Erebard needed to bond with the female dragons before mating could occur.
Once the arrangements were set, Han Wu received several urgent notifications from Qin Shuang. He called her immediately to find out what had happened.
Qin Shuang’s voice trembled over the screen. “Han Wu, come quickly. Jing Jing just did something bad.”
Han Wu frowned. Qin Shuang had taken Jing Jing shopping, yet something had clearly gone wrong. Jing Jing had saved him before, and he would not hesitate to save her in return.
He asked Qin Shuang for the coordinates and teleported there. When he opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful female skeleton gazing down at Elina, who was bathed in holy light.
