In the Temple of Providence in the Twin Dragon Mount fort...

“Roar!”

The young Dragons of Providences, which were floating high in the temple and spewing out golden power of providence that enshrouded the twenty heroes and players in the temple, suddenly trembled.

Hum!

It was because a tremendous number of illusionary items that were in the golden color of the power of providence but had different appearances popped up in the temple.

Some were like animals and insects, some were in the shape of plants, and some were non-creatures such as clouds and mirrors!

Those things constituted an ocean of yellow power of providence that surrounded the five-clawed young dragons of the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

“What’s going on here?”

“Not good! Something is wrong! Go fetch Chief Yan!”

The elite soldier, who was staying outside of the Temple of Providence, was greatly shocked and blew a quaint horn that seemed to be made of bronze!

“What’s going on here?”

Very soon, the image of a green eagle took someone close from the mountain that used to belong to the Eagle Men.

Hum!

The green eagle shadow, upon landing, turned into a mass of air and melted into the back of the person it carried. Then, the person’s handsome face was revealed.

He was exactly Yan Qing, the Perfect “Rogue” who stayed behind to defend the fort when the Battlefield of Providence was opened!

“Something wrong happened in the Temple of Providence!” Wu Xiong, who had been promoted as a captain because of his valiant performance in the battle against the Eagle Men, replied anxiously.

“Huh?

“It’s alright. Master and the others are returning from the City of Humans!”

Noticing the scene in the Temple of Providence, Yan Qing was grim at first.

But he became delighted soon after he entered the Temple of Providence, as he had been given access to some of the information on the temple by Ji Ye before Ji Ye left.

“Roar... Roar...”

The two five-clawed young dragons, which were covered by the clouds of bright yellow power of providence, had already stopped spewing out golden light and were happily competing for the illusionary plants, animals, and other objects that had just appeared.

“Is it... the power of providence from other human settlements?”

Yan Qing looked at the scene with obvious curiosity.

Bright yellow was the color of the power of providence of human beings. Apparently, those illusions were formed by the power of providence from the Yuan settlements.

Because Yuan failed on the Battlefield of Providence, some of the power of providence of its settlements was transferred to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

As the swallowing and transformation went on, the pair of five-clawed young dragons of the Twin Dragon Mount fort changed drastically.

After the power of providence was swallowed, the two dragons were obviously more condensed, and their scales could be recognized clearly.

Also, the horns on the two dragons were protruding too, and it seemed that they would soon grow from children into adolescence!

“Has it been upgraded?”

While the dragons absorbed the power of providence, Ji Ye, who had risen up from sitting cross-legged, saw a lot of changing attributes in the two dragons.

[Twin Dragons’ Rest, Settlement Core]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]

[Rarity: Special]

[The core of a settlement is the heart of a civilization’s fortune and health. Throughout the passage of time, it will summon all sorts of heroic figures akin to passed-down legends spoken by the locals.]

Extraordinary Rank-9!

In the entire Twin Dragon Mount fort, even Ji Ye, who had the fastest progress in training, was still in Extraordinary Rank-7.

But the Dragons of Providence of the Twin Dragon Mount fort had beaten him to Extraordinary Rank-9!

It was all because the Twin Dragon Mount fort obtained too much power of providence from the Battlefield of Providence this time.

It might be an exaggeration to say that the Twin Dragon Mount fort received eighty percent of the total power of providence, but it definitely got more than fifty percent of the reward.

Also, because of Ji Ye’s creative idea in the end, the battle which should’ve been long and brutal was quickly ended.

The power of providence, which should’ve been split up by a hundred “Excellent” settlements, was only shared by several dozen of them.

The Twin Dragon Mount fort, on the other hand, claimed half of the power!

So, it was not unbelievable that the settlement core had reached Extraordinary Rank-9!

“We’re back!”

“It truly feels great to be back.”

“Ah, I haven’t had the Forest Monster Wine for a long time. I will definitely have a bottle!”

“I’m of a mind to go fishing in the sea...”

After Ji Ye rose, the other heroes and players all got back to their feet.

“Is the City of Humans finally closed?”

“What a shame that my old settlement failed. They were so close!”

“The man wearing a headband must be Wu Song. Is the bloody tiger tally hanging on his waist really transformed from the tiger he killed?”

“Lu Zhishen is so tall and strong. His fists are as huge as some people’s heads. I think he can smash through iron directly.”

“The man wearing a Daoist robe is Gongsun Sheng. I was told that he killed an enemy hero projection with one spell on the Battlefield of Providence. It’s true that a Daoist’s charged attack is more powerful than a warrior’s skill...”

“Ninth Uncle and Nie Xiaoqian... There are truly two famous heroes in this settlement that aren’t from Water Margin...”

The players, who had gathered on the empty ground outside of the Temple of Providence because of the whistle, looked at the people who had appeared in the temple after the golden light appeared and whispered to each other.

Those people all looked strange. They must be the “newcomers” who had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount fort while Ji Ye and the others were away.

Of course, while they were newcomers, they were actually all “old players”.

The people who had recently arrived were those who were killed while their settlements tried to win the Ten-Species Competition.

Having weathered through the shadow of death and logged in again, they were all strong-willed, and since they had lived a long time on the Land of Inheritance, they weren’t really as worried as the real newcomers.

In particular, a lot of those people had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount fort only a couple of days earlier.

At this moment, there was only half a day to go before the deadline of the Ten-Species Competition. The newcomers who arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount fort during these last few days were as many as those who had arrived a month before that.

That wasn’t really surprising.

As could be seen from the rule of death, the Land of Inheritance wasn’t as cruel as certain gods and demons who raised human beings as livestock. It was more like a “game” that facilitated the assimilation of different species and civilizations!

Furthermore, even the Ten-Species Competition, a “main quest”, was not compulsory at all.

However, just because it wasn’t compulsory didn’t mean it wasn’t rewarding!

It was unnecessary to repeat the rewards that the Twin Dragon Mount fort received for accomplishing the quest first in the entire province. The trial in the initial test was highly rewarding too.

Also, the quest to “enter a settlement” in the second round wasn’t compulsory either.

However, the settlements that failed to arrive within the time limit of the quest had clearly lost their qualifications for the competition because no Chosen Ones were there to welcome them.

On the other hand, the players who were chosen but refused to log on to the Land of Inheritance were punished too. As a result, the Earth human beings lost hundreds of thousands of settlement counts. The whole Earth civilization had answered for their wrongdoings!

This Ten-Species Competition quest, on the other hand, could likely decide the number and qualifications of the third round of players, so most settlements from Earth had decided to gather their forces and wage a final battle at the last moment.

Some of the advanced players, including those who were above Extraordinary Rank-5 and who had been playing since the beta test, were inevitably killed during the process.

After Ji Ye and the others entered the City of Humans, the players left in the fort, who were relatively plain, were unable to suppress those special “newcomers”.

As for the natives such as Yan Qing, they couldn’t treat the players too harshly because those people were the Chosen Ones.

Therefore, it was clear that the newcomers were already teaming up as a faction.

“Chief Yang, ask everybody to go away!” Ji Ye slightly frowned and said casually.

“Yes!”

Yang Zhi nodded.

“Everybody, leave the empty ground before the temple!”

In the next moment, his unique talent, Battle Will, was melted into the black air made of his soul power and pushed to the crowd outside of the temple.

The vibe that Yang Zhi released indicated that he was already Extraordinary Rank-7!

Thanks to the Forest Monster King’s Soul of Civilization, Yang Zhi was a hero who arrived at Extraordinary Rank-5. He had enough time for training after defeating the Yuan people on the Battlefield of Providence, so it wasn’t a surprise that he had breakthroughs.

Hum!

Hearing what Yang Zhi said, and faced with the overwhelming black air that was mixed with Battle Will, the natives and the old players of the fort quickly retreated.

Some of the newcomers reacted much slower and were brushed by the black air!
