Chapter 328: Chapter 328 - 238: The Second Choice, a New Heroic Clan, the Horned Eagle Beast Cavalry Corps
[Intelligence: 97]
[Spirit: 98]
Evaluation: Cousins with the Blood Elf Eric; they share a close relationship!
Zhang Yi briefly glanced at the personal interfaces of these two Blood Elf Heroic Clan members.
After reviewing their Skills and Talents, and learning that they each had their own strengths and were close cousins,
Zhang Yi had them stand aside for the time being.
However, Zhang Yi did send down an Oracle, dispatching Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala to make first contact with the Blood Elf Mage Ai Weiya and teach her the common knowledge of the Divine Realm.
Then,
Zhang Yi began his second selection!
[Detected that the host’s second batch of offerings contains four thousand Seventh Level Bloodline Corps corpses. Three options will now be refreshed for the host to choose from!]
[Option 1]: 1,000 Bloodline Evolution slots. Due to the immense power of the offered Vampire corpses and their innate affinity for the Blood Law, the number of slots for converting corpses into bloodline essence has slightly increased. You can obtain one opportunity for 1,000 Clan members to undergo Bloodline Awakening!
[Option 2]: 800 potential enhancement slots. Convert the offered Vampire corpses into bloodline essence to grant 800 Clan members the opportunity to increase their potential.
Note: As the offered Vampires are of High Level power, these 800 potential enhancement slots can be used on Clan members who are also at High Level power.
[Option 3]: 500 Horned Eagle Beasts. Convert all offered Vampire/Blood Bat corpses into bloodline essence to create a new Clan in the Divine Realm—the Horned Eagle Beast, which can serve as aerial mounts for the Elf Clan!
Note: The Horned Eagle Beasts are split evenly between male and female, all are in their adult stage, and they are extremely loyal, obeying the Lord of the Divine Realm.
Zhang Yi’s gaze quickly swept over the three options presented by the Golden Finger.
[Option 1] and [Option 2] were familiar choices to Zhang Yi.
The slots for Bloodline Evolution and potential enhancement had increased slightly due to the higher quality of the offerings, but they were fundamentally the same.
So, just like last time, after reviewing [Option 1] and [Option 2], Zhang Yi turned his attention to [Option 3].
Horned Eagle Beasts, with an equal number of males and females!
Horned Eagle Beasts, like Griffins, were a type of Magical Beast capable of flight.
They possessed great power, combining agility and Power with a certain degree of intelligence.
However, through long-term domestication, Horned Eagle Beasts, much like Griffins, could serve as mounts for Elven Aerial Cavalry units.
If Zhang Yi could obtain these five hundred Horned Eagle Beasts, he could significantly bolster the Elf Clan’s aerial combat capabilities!
Zhang Yi had indeed formed the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps before,
and the Griffins did indeed reproduce quickly.
But the same problem remained. Even though the Griffins’ reproduction rate wasn’t slow,
given the time since the Griffins first appeared in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, there hadn’t been enough time for them to multiply into the tens of thousands.
Even in the recent battle against the Vampire Army,
the number of Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps troops deployed from the Divine Realm had only just reached 800!
Compared to the initial three hundred troops of the Griffin Cavalry Corps, their numbers had nearly tripled!
But compared to the vast number of Elf Soldiers, the number of Griffins was still pitifully small.
And the importance of an air force was self-evident!
So, even though the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps was already established, who was to say he couldn’t establish an Elf Horned Eagle Beast Cavalry Legion as well!
Both were tried-and-true aerial mounts for Elves across the Multiverse. It would be a complete waste not to use them to form cavalry!
Therefore, Zhang Yi quickly made his decision and chose [Option 3]!
This time, however, Zhang Yi didn’t feel the stirrings of his Divine Position as he had before.
As Zhang Yi selected the option, the four thousand Seventh Level Bloodline Corps corpses on the Sacrificial Altar vanished.
In their place appeared five hundred magnificent Horned Eagle Beasts!
They had the heads of eagles, the horns of rams, bodies as agile as leopards, Sharp Claws, and powerful wings.
Their bodies were covered in bluish-purple feathers, with two long, spiral-shaped horns growing from their foreheads. A light that was both sharp and loyal shone in their eyes!
"So cool!"
That was Zhang Yi’s first reaction upon seeing the Horned Eagle Beasts!
If even Zhang Yi reacted this way, one could only imagine the Elf Clan below!
"Horned Eagle Beasts!"
"They’re the legendary Horned Eagle Beasts!"
"They’re aerial mounts for the Elf Clan, on par with Griffins and Dragon Eagles...!"
A glint appeared in the eyes of many members of the Elf Clan.
Before, Griffins appeared in the Divine Realm, and then the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps was formed.
Now that Horned Eagle Beasts have appeared, does this mean a Horned Eagle Beast Cavalry Corps will be formed soon too?
’Do I have a chance to become a Horned Eagle Beast rider?’
The gazes of many Elves grew even more fervent as they looked upon the Horned Eagle Beasts!
Compared to the arrival of the Blood Elf Clan members, the appearance of the Horned Eagle Beasts caused a much greater stir!
After two consecutive offerings, even Zhang Yi needed a moment to calm himself.
The rewards were simply too bountiful!
After composing himself, the Divine Illusion of the God of Nature looked toward the last two offerings placed upon the Sacrificial Altar:
the [Thorny Giant Sword] and the [Sob of Blood]!
Elf High Priest Shamiel saw the God of Nature’s gaze and understood immediately.
Elf High Priest Shamiel took a deep breath, then spoke in the most solemn and pious voice:
"Oh, great God of Nature, your most devout Believers offer up these two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts!"
"We only ask that you purify the corruption within these two artifacts, transform them into artifacts that will protect the Divine Realm, and bestow them upon your most loyal Clan!"
Then, Elf High Priest Shamiel knelt down.
Below the Sacrificial Altar, everyone watching knew this was the final offering of the night.
The Elf Clan, Dwarf Clan, and Goblin Clan all held their breath in unison.
They knew that once this ceremony was over, the climax of the entire sacrificial event would come to an end.
There was no telling when they would witness the God of Nature display another miracle!
Therefore, they all watched this scene with rapt attention, wanting to burn this moment into their memories.
And right on cue, the voice of the Golden Finger rang out.
[Detected that the host’s third batch of offerings contains two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts. Three options will now be refreshed for the host to choose from!]
[Option 1]: One Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact. Offer one Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact and transfer its essence into the other, upgrading its quality to that of a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact. Its Effect will be enhanced accordingly!
[Option 2]: Two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts. Convert the two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts, originally suited for the Vampire race, into Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts more suitable for the Elf Clan. Their Effects will change and be enhanced!
[Option 3]: Three Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifacts. Extract the essence from the two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts. While downgrading the original two artifacts, use the transferred essence to forge a third Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact. The host can customize this third Semi-Divine Artifact as desired!
Zhang Yi looked at the three options from the Golden Finger. He eliminated [Option 3] first.
Right now, among the Heroic Clan in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm,
excluding the Heroic Clan members assigned to Logistics,
nearly every combat-type Heroic Clan member had their own Semi-Divine Artifact.
Although Zhang Yi wouldn’t mind having too many Semi-Divine Artifacts in his Divine Realm,
since his Divine Realm wasn’t currently lacking in them,
Zhang Yi wanted to pursue quality over quantity!
Thus, [Option 3] was the first to be eliminated.
The difference between [Option 2] and [Option 1] came down to whether Zhang Yi wanted another Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact.
To be honest, Zhang Yi already had plans for the Thorny Giant Sword, an Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact.
As for the other Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact—the Sob of Blood—
Zhang Yi couldn’t immediately think of which Clan member in the Divine Realm was best suited for it.
However, compared to turning two Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts into one Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact,
he felt that offering the other Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact as a prize—to be claimed by whoever made the greatest contribution—
would better motivate the Clan members in his Divine Realm!
Therefore, Zhang Yi made his choice!
He chose [Option 2]!
