The promotion from the Leader template to the Overlord template was more complicated and difficult.
First of all, not all leaders could be promoted to overlord.
According to Bai Xiaowen's estimation, one would need at least 50 points of Death God's Power to evolve from a leader to a lord.
This was different from the selection of leaders. At that time, the leaders of the four major races had yet to be decided. The four spots under Bai Xiaowen, the rookie "Grim Reaper", were all empty. Therefore, he only needed 10 points of Grim Reaper's Power to make the leaders of the four major races stand out. In terms of endurance, 10 points of Grim Reaper's Power was nothing to them.
But now, the slots for the Four Heavenly Kings were full. The four shortcuts had all been taken.
If one wanted to evolve from a leader to a lord, they would need to put in ten times the effort.
For example, the Plague Beast was nominally the Butcher's mount.
Nominally, it was because the Butcher was more used to walking on two legs and never rode it.
After absorbing 40 points of Death God's Power, the Plague Beast exploded on the spot. Of course, it had no chance of becoming a lord.
Another example was the Lich of the Bone Race. His results were slightly better than the Plague Beast, but his limit was 45 points of Death God's Power.
Of course, the Lich was already a quasi-lord and was much stronger than the Undead Arcane Master. Unfortunately, there was still a gap between him and a lord. The difference in priority could not be erased.
There was bad news, but of course, there was also good news.
After reviving, Bai Xiaowen tried to infuse it with Death God's Power. After the Frost Dragon absorbed 50 points of Death God's Power, it officially completed the evolution and became a lord. Its size doubled, and when it spread its wings, it really felt like it could cover the sky.
Bai Xiaowen continued to infuse it. The Frost Dragon's best result was 56 points of Death God's Power.
At the side, the Lich and the Plague Behemoth looked on with envy.
Bai Xiaowen could not be bothered to pay attention to these two fellows whose self-awareness was only five or six years old. Who could they blame for their own failure?
Another thing worth mentioning was that the Skeletal Giant, which was originally a Rare Elite, was able to withstand the infusion of 60 points of Death God's Power. It jumped two levels and became the second Lord-tier creature to be successfully promoted.
This provided Bai Xiaowen with a new train of thought. The limits of a rare elite creature might not be weaker than a leader.
Bai Xiaowen tried again. After all, one more Overlord meant one more combat power available.
The three Soul Catcher Demonesses had tried, but they had failed.
Demon Lady had tried, but it was hopeless.
Bai Xiaowen suddenly thought of Kitts. No matter what, he had spent a great deal of effort to raise Kitts. The Bloodgod Sutra and Grand Monarch's blood were all priceless treasures at the Awakened level. However, Kitts had always been a disappointment, and was still stuck at the rare elite stage.
Currently, Kitts was in the Shaul plane, under the command of Vladimir, fighting against the Mongol army.
He wondered if Vladimir had made things difficult for him.
Bai Xiaowen didn't care too much, and immediately summoned Kitts.
Summoning across planes was naturally possible, but it would take a bit more time.
Kitts had a blank look on his face as he fell from the vortex in the sky. Before he landed, he didn't think to use his spiritual energy to fly or spread his bat wings, and he fell flat on his face.
Fortunately, this bit of pain didn't matter to him.
"Boss, something good happened?" Kitts rubbed his hands and came over.
"Mm, something good. Let's see if you can live up to expectations … eh? You've improved? "
Bai Xiaowen discovered to his surprise that Kitts' aura had become much stronger. He was already a leader.
"Heh heh, heh heh …" Kitts smiled apologetically. "Boss, I don't know what happened either. Last month, I had a fight with a Mongol army raiding team. After killing a chiliarch, I broke through."
"Mm."
Bai Xiaowen snorted. Although he was quite satisfied, he couldn't be nice to Kitts. He had to be strict with him, or else this guy's tail would rise to the sky.
"How does Vladimir treat you?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"At first, his attitude was quite cold, and he didn't pay much attention to me. But after I broke through, Old Vladimir became a lot more enthusiastic. He asked about my well-being, and I wasn't used to it, "Kitts said honestly.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. He knew exactly what Vladimir was thinking.
Kitts had always been Bai Xiaowen's most trusted aide in the Blood Race. When they were choosing the leader of the race, Kitts was too disappointing. He was only a rare elite and didn't meet the requirements, so the position of Heavenly King of the Blood Race was given to Vladimir.
Now that Kitts had broken through to become a leader, would Bai Xiaowen adjust the position of Heavenly King of the Blood Race? Would he take back Vladimir's power and bestow it on Kitts?
If Bai Xiaowen really did that, then Vladimir would have to serve under Kitts, and the master-servant relationship would be reversed.
The most important thing was that Bai Xiaowen had the power to kill them, and Vladimir had no ability to oppose him. No matter what decision he made, he could only obey.
That was why Vladimir had tried to establish a relationship with Kitts in advance, and changed his cold attitude from before.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen didn't want to change.
On one hand, changing the position of Heavenly King of the Blood Race meant that in the process of taking back Vladimir's power, the Blood Race slaves under his control would all die. A significant portion of them were important officials of the Song Dynasty, and their sudden death would easily cause panic in the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, Kitts wasn't very suitable for the special position of Heavenly King of the Blood Race.
"Boss, look, I'm a leader now. Can I follow by your side?" Kitts said. "Actually, I told Old Vladimir that I have no interest in the position of Heavenly King of the Blood Race. How could it be as comfortable as following Boss? He just doesn't believe … "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Alright, I can let you follow by my side, but you have to pass a test."
"Test?" Kitts instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Let's see your potential." Bai Xiaowen chuckled. He spat out a ball of pitch-black Death power from his palm, and slammed it into Kitts' chest.
Kitts had been tricked by Bai Xiaowen. He wasn't mentally prepared at all, and immediately welcomed the first wave of pain from the infusion of Death power. He quickly grimaced in pain.
This sort of pain from the infusion of power didn't affect the physical body, but rather the soul.
Thus, all undead creatures couldn't avoid this sort of painful transformation process.
Bai Xiaowen had just instilled 50 points of Death power into Kitts in one go. In any case, a one-time infusion was the same as an infusion in batches. Kitts' endurance wouldn't increase just because they were slowly instilled in batches.
Whether he became a dragon or a worm would depend on his own luck.
Just as Kitts was rolling around on the ground, Bai Xiaowen's Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman suddenly transmitted.
Bai Xiaowen's heart thumped, and he immediately accepted the transmission.
The talisman flickered with light, and the illusion of Han Xu's upper body appeared.
"Old Han, why have you come?" Bai Xiaowen was somewhat surprised. The Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman couldn't be used to send messages across planes. Since it could connect, it meant that Han Xu had already arrived at the Dark Era plane.
