When this news spread, all the Great Naga in God's Domain were shocked. Coincidentally, Slada stood up and announced that this was a gift from the Creator. All the Great Naga knelt or bowed their heads in prayer, chanting his divine name.
Lin Xiao carefully sensed the prayers in his mind. The threads of faith had thickened, and their level of faith had deepened. However, none of them had undergone a qualitative change.
At this time, all the Great Naga Naga were devout or fanatics. There was no one below these two levels of faith.
Devout and fanatics were the upper limits of a normal believer's level of faith. Under normal circumstances, they would only deepen their faith but would not cause a qualitative change.
The only higher level of faith was becoming a Holy Disciple. However, the conditions for becoming a Holy Disciple were very strict. It was not something that could be achieved by being devout.
He dared to say that as long as he gave the order, all the Great Naga Naga would be willing to die. However, no matter how devout one's faith was, as long as one's understanding of the doctrine was not up to standard, they would never be able to become a Holy Disciple.
In truth, Lin Xiao was already very satisfied with having a Holy Disciple. Many True Gods did not even have one.
In the following days, many Great Naga Nagas, especially those who had reached Tier 6 and Tier 7, entered the ancient arena to train and break through.
What was worth mentioning was that as the upper limit of their bloodline increased, it became easier for the Nagas to advance from Rank-5 to Rank-6, as well as from Rank-6 to Rank-7, which was extremely difficult to advance from Rank-6 to Rank-7, both had become easier than before.
However, reaching Tier 8 was still difficult. It was as difficult as reaching Tier 7 from Tier 6.
After many years of reproduction, there were already over 56,000 Naga Nagas. Apart from Slardar, there were a total of 117 Tier 8 Naga Lords. There were no Tier 9 Naga Lords for the time being, and there were over 300 Tier 7 Naga Warriors. However, with the release of the promotion restrictions, the difficulty of promotion would decrease, and it would not be long before a large number of Naga Warriors appeared.
There were now over 16,000 Tier 6 Naga Warriors, and the remaining 42,000 were ordinary adult Naga Nagas.
However, as the restrictions on promotion were lifted, more and more Great Naga would be promoted to Tier 6, and the overall strength of God's Domain would increase.
After staying in God's Domain for over half a year, Lin Xiao was filled with joy as he watched the various Great Naga level up.
However, when he received Xie Yufei's reminder and left God's Domain, there had yet to be a Tier 9 Great Lord of Naga.
His consciousness returned with some regret. A projection of Xie Yufei appeared in front of him. He was surprised to find that she was wearing a military uniform that was specially used for attending ceremonies. Her expression was particularly serious as she said in a deep voice,
"The military headquarters has already determined your meritorious service evaluation and commendation. Due to your limited strength, your military rank is that of an elite senior colonel. The military headquarters will decide on your specific position and commendation."
At this point, her serious expression disappeared, and she whispered with a smile, "Don't worry.
Due to your limited strength, you can't be promoted to general directly, so you will be given preferential treatment in terms of your military rank and treatment. There are a few options that you can choose from. I'll tell you first, and you can tell me when you've made your choice. "
"Your military rank is that of an elite senior colonel in Yanhuang War Zone No. 5. You have a high-grade Brigadier General's personal guard team, a high-grade Brigadier General's personal void warship, and the warship's supporting staff. However, this does not include the void warship's supporting troops."
"There are three options for your military rank. The first is the authority to form a battle group. You can form your own battle group and become its commander."
"The second option is to become the acting commander of an existing battle group. Currently, there are four battle group commanders in the military who are about to perform their duties, retire, or be transferred away. If you choose this option, the information of the four battle groups will be sent to you later."
"The third option is to give up your military rank with real power and choose a civilian position. Currently, the military inspection team still lacks a leader. If you're willing, you can choose this option."
Lin Xiao …
"This … Isn't this too much?"
All three options were outrageous to him. What did it mean to be a battle group commander with real power?
Although the current military system still followed the division and army system, this division and army were completely different concepts from the divisions and armies of ancient times.
Now, a regular division referred to a military group that had the ability to independently attack a powerful plane with great divine power. Note that only the main division could attack a great divine power. Ordinary divisions definitely did not have this ability.
As for a regular army, it referred to a military group that had the ability to attack a crystal wall system that was not very powerful. This "not very powerful" meant that there were no more than five great divine powers, and there could not be any great existences.
Yanhuang War Zone No. 5 was the main war zone, and there were no more than ten armies, including the expeditionary army and the garrison army of the fortress.
As a military unit below a division, battle groups had always been known for their military strength. Small battle groups were not obvious, such as those that were just formed and had not yet taken shape. Large battle groups like the Raging Flame Battle Group had several mid-level divine powers.
Coincidentally, the Raging Flame Battle Group was one of the official battle groups they gave.
After all, Xie Yufei seemed to be the deputy commander of the Raging Flame Battle Group now …
"Of course, you're not strong enough now and definitely can't convince the masses. So, you can only be the acting commander now. The original first deputy commander will temporarily take over the battle group's affairs."
Xie Yufei's next words shattered Lin Xiao's fantasy.
"Alright, as expected!"
This meant that she was giving him a position. A military position was indeed a military position with real power. This was true, but with his current strength, he definitely could not command his subordinates.
What a joke. How could a group of true gods be willing to listen to his orders? Even if the internal discipline of the army was strict and subordinates would not force their superiors, there would definitely be cases of them disobeying in public. He definitely could not command these powerful subordinates.
Therefore, this military position seemed very powerful and outrageous, but in fact, it was useless. It was just an empty position.
He suspected that it was a way for the military to rope him in, or bind him.
After all, although he was not strong enough now, his potential was huge. Not to mention the huge favor he owed to Commander Xie, just based on his great achievements, it was certain that he would become the Son of Gaia. As a big shot in the military, how could he not know that this meant that as long as he did not die, he would definitely become a top expert in the future? Who would be willing to invest in such a top expert who would definitely become a top expert as long as he did not die?
So now, the question was, how should he choose?
The first battle group he established would definitely be a pass. With his current strength, resources, connections, and territory, how could he establish a battle group?
So, he could only choose between the second and third options. One was a military position with real power, and the other was a civilian position with huge power. These two …
While Lin Xiao was thinking, Xie Yufei on the side recalled what her father had told her. Her gaze fell on Lin Xiao who was lost in thought. Her beautiful face blushed slightly. After calming herself down, she suddenly stretched out her hand and drew on the light screen in front of Lin Xiao. She pointed at one of the four candidate battle groups and said,
"If I were you, I would choose this one."
Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the Raging Flame Battle Group she was pointing at. After a few seconds, a look of understanding appeared on his face.
"I am now the 1st Vice Commander of the Raging Flame Battle Group. If you choose to become the Commander of the Raging Flame Battle Group, then I will handle the daily work of the Raging Flame Battle Group for you as the 1st Vice Commander."
She reached out and patted her full chest.
"With Big Sister here, you can tell Big Sister if you need the battle group's power, and Big Sister will help you do it. That way, you can borrow the battle group's power through me."
Lin Xiao came back to his senses and carefully thought about her words. He had to admit that her words were a bit tempting.
After all, controlling a battle group, even if it was indirectly, even if he could only borrow a small part of it, it was still better than being the leader of the so-called patrol team.
The so-called patrol team was to patrol the various Crystal Walls or Planar Fortresses within the area of influence of the war zone. How could he have the time to patrol everywhere? Moreover, this position was strenuous and unrewarding, and it was easy to offend people. If he ran over alone, he would most likely be ostracized and marginalized. He would only be a mascot, and there was no need to think about having real power.
After thinking about it, he found that Xie Yufei's suggestion was the most reliable.
Thinking of this, he nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble Big Sister Feifei to take care of me!"
"Well said, well said!"
Both of them smiled at the same time.
After making a decision, the next step was the award ceremony. It was worth mentioning that he was awarded two medals this time. One was the Dark Gold Medal of Special Merit, and the other was the Gaia Medal.
Special Merit was already the highest merit in the military. Just like in any era, military merit was extremely hard to come by, but once one obtained it, it was equivalent to having a cheat in one's life. One could rapidly rise in rank. As long as one didn't make any mistakes, as long as one's strength reached the standard, one would definitely become a general.
With Lin Xiao's achievements this time, he deserved to be awarded a Special Merit. No one had any objections.
As for the Gaia Medal, it wasn't a military medal, but a medal of honor in the human main world. Only those who had made outstanding contributions to the main world could receive it.
The Gaia Medal was also divided into grades. His was the lowest grade, a one-star Gaia Medal.
The Gaia Medal didn't have a direct reward, but it would receive the attention of Gaia's will. As a result, one would receive some invisible benefits that ordinary people couldn't get.
The one who awarded the medal was an avatar of Commander Xie Tianyan. The venue for the award ceremony was a small auditorium inside the stronghold.
Perhaps they had considered that his strength was too weak and didn't want to be too high-profile. After seeking Lin Xiao's opinion, the award ceremony was held in the small auditorium. Other than the commander, there were also more than a dozen upper echelons of the stronghold. At a glance, they were all generals with golden stars on their shoulders. Although all of them tried their best to restrain their aura, Lin Xiao, who had the identity of the Son of Gaia, could still sense the distorted fluctuations around them that made his heart palpitate.
All of them were powerful true gods. The least of them was mid-level Divine Power, and most of them were great Divine Powers. All of them looked at the handsome young man brought by Xie Yufei with a smile and gently clapped.
When Lin Xiao gradually approached, a few of the generals smiled.
