"Roar! Roar!"
"Dragon Rages in the Wild", the most destructive move of the Dragon-Subduing Strike, roared and charged out.
Boom!
Wu Yanguang, the Commander of the Kingdom of Liao, was hit by the domineering palm energy that contained the Dragon Aura. His Extraordinary Rank-9 halberd was knocked out of his hands and flew more than thirty meters away.
Kacha!
The three layers of Extraordinary armor on his body were all shattered, and his defense was gone.
"Lightning!"
Then, Gongsun Sheng roared in the sky.
Boom!
A lightning dragon as thick as a pillar swooped down and hit the head of the Liao leader, killing the last "villain leader" in the encirclement.
["You participated in killing Commander Wuyan Guang of Liao (Extraordinary Rank-9, Quasi-Commander). EXP received: 2,394. Honor received: 299. Rare Honor: 25. Civilization Coins: 3,059!"]
As the kill notification popped up in Ji Ye's head …
Wuyan Guang, whose armor had been melted by the lightning and melted into red molten iron, was still standing on the battlefield. A magnificent yellow power of providence surged out of his body and dashed to the Temple of Providence of the Twin Dragon Island together with the power of providence from the dozens of Liao Commanders who were killed together.
Immediately, the yellow clouds that had been gathering above the Temple of Providence for a whole day changed and began to roll.
"Roar … Roar …"
At the settlement core of the Twin Dragon Island, the two yellow five-clawed young dragons, which were dim because of excessive consumption and because half of the members of the settlement were killed, became excited and appeared above the Temple of Providence.
["You've killed the enemy leader and killed or subdued more than 90% of the enemies. Your settlement has passed the Transcendent advancement test. Your settlement is qualified to advance!"]
The notification that the test was passed popped up.
Then, the Twin Dragons of Providence rose into the sky and happily rushed into the yellow clouds.
"Crash!"
A tremendous amount of the yellow power of providence was injected into their bodies, turning the two young dragons from dim to bright and solid.
When they condensed to the extreme, both of them let out dragon roars.
Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, the five-clawed young dragons that were originally about nine feet long broke through to ten feet in size. Then, they didn't stop there. Instead, they continued to grow. Twenty feet, thirty feet, forty feet …
When the providence cloud was completely consumed, the twin dragons had already grown to over 50 feet in length, and from their outward appearances, they had already transformed from "baby dragons" to a pair of "baby dragons".
"A dragon?"
"A real dragon!"
After the promotion was completed.
The two dragons of providence circled in the air as if they were playing.
The villainous soldiers on the ground were so shocked that they even fell to their knees and returned to the Temple of Providence.
"Ang, ang …"
Then, there was a double dragon roar.
An invisible wind was blowing on the land of the Twin Dragon Island and the four villains.
Wherever it passed, the corpses of the Liao people on the battlefield on the Musical House Island suddenly disappeared and turned into the power of providence of human beings that looked like yellow balls of light. Then, they gathered and flew toward the Temple of Providence of the Twin Dragon Island.
In terms of quantity, they were naturally inferior to the commanders of the Liao Kingdom, let alone their leader, Wuyan Guang.
However, because of the large number of soldiers, they still transformed a lot of providence.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
In fact, not just the bodies of the Liao soldiers, but the bodies of Fang La and Wang Qing's soldiers who were killed in the battle also turned into yellow spots of light and flew over.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"My body is disappearing!"
Even some of the villainous soldiers who chose to sneak into the woods or corners of the four villains' territory after their defeat, and the Twin Dragon Island didn't have time to find and deal with them due to the lack of manpower, found to their horror that their bodies were becoming transparent.
"My soul is really going to be destroyed!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Liao who were fighting against them had suddenly collapsed and there were still about 3,000 soldiers who had surrendered, they looked rather frightened.
However, they soon found that they didn't vanish like the defeated soldiers did.
"As I expected, the villains are also a power that belongs to a race and a civilization. We can make use of them!"
Ji Ye, who was standing on top of the golden chariot, noticed that and remarked softly.
The Twin Dragon Island had discussed the issue of the surrendered soldiers last night.
There were only two possible endings for this.
The first outcome was that they would be killed because they failed to complete the quest to seize the settlement and disappear from the Land of Inheritance.
In that case, the people of the Twin Dragon Island wouldn't feel too guilty. In fact, they were just making use of those people.
However, Elder Zhou, who had the deepest understanding of the rules of the Land of Inheritance, believed that those "villains" could also be part of the settlement's power!
Strictly speaking, the "villains" in the eyes of ordinary people didn't mean that they were purely bad guys. For example, the Patriarch of the Moon Worshipping Cult, Skyless, Clown, Darth Vader, Loki, Aizen …
To some extent, those people were even more capable than the protagonists. They just lacked luck. If they were placed in the settlement, they would be more suitable to fight against aliens on behalf of Earth than most decent people!
As Elder Zhou expected, after the advancement of the Twin Dragons of Providence, a lot of new information popped up in Ji Ye's head.
One of them was about the villains.
After a settlement became Transcendent, it would be able to "shelter" the villains so that they wouldn't "disappear"!
Of course, that wouldn't come without a price.
Because the villains weren't members of the settlement, they wouldn't be able to provide the settlement with the power of providence.
Instead, to maintain their existence on the Land of Inheritance, the settlement's own power of providence would be consumed. The stronger and more powerful one was, the more power of providence would be consumed.
That also meant that a settlement couldn't take in an unlimited number of "villains", because that would definitely stagnate or even cause the settlement to decline.
Of course, the "villains" couldn't be considered a burden.
For example, among the 3,000 surrendered soldiers, more than 500 of them were Extraordinary, and there were more than 20 Commander-level ones. They were enough to destroy a Common settlement!
Since the Twin Dragon Island had suffered heavy casualties during the advancement test and lost almost half of its combat members, those people were still a strong force.
Moreover, after the villains accumulated enough Honor on the Land of Inheritance, they could be transformed into real members of the settlement.
For Ji Ye, there was an even simpler way, which was the "Contract" talent.
However, speaking of talent …
After the settlement became Transcendent, the talent skills of the players and the talent abilities of the heroes were also affected!
From now on, the people of the Twin Dragon Island wouldn't be able to use their talent skills without any cost like before.
In fact, Ji Ye had always been puzzled.
Was there a price to pay for talent and talent skills?
After all, they seemed too powerful.
Now, he understood that talent skills did have a price, which was the power of providence of the race and civilization they belonged to.
In fact, his Fusion, Elder Meng's Aura Observation, Shang Yan's Heart Inquisition, Wu Song's One Saber Slash, Li Yuanba's Infinite Stamina, and Zhao Yun's Power of Dragon Valiance would consume the power of providence of the entire human race and the Earth civilization when they were used.
It was also why only some outstanding players and popular heroes had talent abilities!
However, after the settlement leveled up, the power of providence that was consumed by the talent would be provided by the settlement itself.
In fact, it wasn't just the power of providence in the talent. In many aspects, the Extraordinary level was supported by the power of providence of the race and civilization. For example, the Black Serpent was only an Extraordinary Rank-1 creature, but it dropped an Extraordinary Rank-3 Black Serpent Sword!
However, after advancing to the Transcendent level, the settlement could only count on itself.
A picture popped up in Ji Ye's head.
The power of providence that belonged to human beings and Earth patted the heads of the two aggrieved dragons of providence and said solemnly, "You've grown up. You'll have to be responsible for your own profits and losses from now on."
Be responsible for my own profits and losses!
That wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Take the Fusion talent for example. The reason why it had a long cooldown time was that the power of providence provided by human beings and Earth was limited.
Now that the Twin Dragon Island settlement was in charge of providing the power of providence, wouldn't it be possible …
Infinite Fusion?
