Fifty attribute points per day, nearly thirty thousand attribute points awarded annually! This meant that every citizen of Fengle City was growing stronger by the day. Thirty thousand attribute points might not sound like much, but their value was considerable!
Among these rewards, attribute points were what Ye Yun valued the least; he cared most about the second and third rewards!
After all, Fengle City was Ye Yun's stronghold in the game, the foundation of the Dragon Palace in the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Ye Yun had always aimed to develop Fengle City into a power truly surpassing Divine Cities. Although some of its defensive structures could now be considered on par with those of Divine Cities, its area and population were still far behind.
Ten days had passed, and Fengle City had earned another building level upgrade! This was what Ye Yun valued most!
Standing before the Qitian Tower, Ye Yun opened Fengle City's detailed information. He was quite satisfied to see over twenty-two thousand divine stones in the treasury. Without hesitation, he exchanged these divine stones for gold and then used them to upgrade the level of the defensive buildings in the city.
As the arrow towers and lightning towers leveled up, the gold cost for each upgrade was astronomical. The twenty thousand divine stones were just enough to raise the arrow and lightning towers on the city walls to level 33.
As for the building level upgrade count, Ye Yun barely gave it a second thought, directly using it to upgrade the Human King City Ballista, a structure he had personally designed and built, to level 26.
This building upgrade required divine fragment shards and Yuwu Heavenly Stones as auxiliary materials. Both of these were priceless treasures, so Ye Yun had long intended to use this task to elevate this special building to a terrifying level.
Unfortunately, this was only a building level upgrade, not a construction opportunity for new buildings. Otherwise, Ye Yun would have immediately built the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
Human King City Ballista (Special Defensive Building)
Level: 26
Attack: 84726e
Durability: 254178e
Attack Speed: 0.6 seconds
Current Energy Bolt Count: 24300/72900 (Recovery Speed: 20 bolts per second.)
Growth Base: 3.0
Attack Range: 1000km
Function: ...
The attack power, durability, and maximum energy bolt count had all tripled, and the attack speed was within expectations. However, Ye Yun was baffled by the attack range. At level 25, it was 542 kilometers, but at level 26, the increase was less than double and rounded to an integer.
"System Announcement: Due to player 'Jieming,' the Monarch's Sacred Statue's owner has broken through to the Extreme Realm in the real world, the three statues have automatically evolved into Extreme Sacred Statues!"
"Fengle City Announcement: Congratulations to Fengle City's Monarch's Sacred Statue for evolving into an Extreme Sacred Statue."
"New Mortal Continent Announcement..."
"Shangjing City Announcement..."
The announcements, upon their release, once again struck all players in the two cities and the New Mortal Continent with awe.
Breaking through to the Extreme Realm in the real world! How could that be so monstrous? The Heavenly Dao had only been connected to the human race for a short time. Less than a year to go from a novice to a top-tier expert in the Universe was terrifying!
Extreme Sacred Statue (Jieming) - Players can gain 300 to 1200 free attribute points by kneeling before it within a specific time. Members of the Monarch's faction can gain 1200 to 2400 free attribute points by kneeling.
Was that fair at all?!
To gain attribute points, Fengle City and Shangjing City were already overcrowded. Shangjing City, in particular, had gathered humans from all countries and races worldwide. If Fengle City hadn't been set by Ye Yun to disallow foreign visitors, its population would have likely increased more than tenfold!
This could be seen from the Primordial Chaos Points Ye Yun had acquired in Shangjing City; his statue was worshipped no less than five hundred million times daily in Shangjing City!
How large was Shangjing City to allow five hundred million people to worship his statue? What was the actual number of people?
He hadn't paid much attention to the in-game changes for over ten days. Now, upon a closer look, he realized his Primordial Chaos Points had accumulated to one hundred fifty thousand. That was over ten thousand points per day on average!
Unfortunately, there was still nothing in the Myriad Things Emporium that caught his eye. He felt the Myriad Things Emporium could no longer keep up with his pace of strength improvement.
What Ye Yun didn't know was that his rapid advancement had stirred up a terrifying wave in the Ten Directions Universe. After all, the vast majority of players in the Universe had never imagined that someone could reach the Extreme Realm solely through the Heavenly Dao! Such strength could be considered equivalent to an ancestral figure of a Universe.
"Haha! Our Seven Clans bet correctly!" Old Man Under the Moon and six other individuals hid among a pile of meteorites, laughing uproariously at the sky.
To slow down the Demon Butterfly's advance, their Seven Clans had paid a terrible price! Their population had been nearly halved. If it weren't for Yue Di and the others, the Seven Clans would likely be on the verge of extinction by now.
"Princess?"
In a distant star field, three individuals clad in silver armor stood respectfully before a goddess half-reclined on a giant wooden sedan.
"Issue the order. We are returning home. We will not go to the Tenth Direction Universe." The goddess leaned against the edge of the wooden sedan, her eyes vacant as she gazed at the vast cosmic expanse. The flower atop her head appeared wilted. She was none other than the Demon Butterfly, who had intended to go to the Human Star Domain to kill Ye Yun.
"Yes!"
The three elders nodded in agreement. As the Demon Butterfly's trusted generals, they knew her current state all too well.
Indeed, the proud Demon Butterfly, faced with Ye Yun's terrifying rate of strength increase, was now afraid!
