Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 844 - 56: Restoring the Husband’s Authority (Part 2)
Moreover, it truly matches the name of this palace—the Endless Treasure Mountain embraced by the Branch of Wisdom.
On each leaf within the palace, treasures that would drive any Explorer insane outside are displayed.
And these precious items, here, are as ordinary as the leaves of the World Tree, unremarkable yet lush, stretching endlessly.
Lin Rui immediately stepped forward to examine [Heroic Spirit Level Soul Seal: Shadow Heart: Under the shadow's shelter, all secrets are hidden, and all truths are silenced. The Shadow Heart is both an end and a rebirth. Only those who dare to step into it can obtain the eternal pact. Every 10 seconds, the next attack will definitely be a critical strike, resulting in an additional 250% burst damage, and with a certain chance to add an extra silence effect; a poisoned dagger disables an opponent from using any active skills for 2 seconds. Every attack from behind the enemy shortens the Shadow Heart cooldown by 1 second. Subsequent Shadow Heart effects triggered within 10 seconds include 30% True Damage.]
[Heroic Spirit Level Soul Seal: War God's Fury: Anger and strength intertwine, making you an invincible presence on the battlefield. Melee attack damage is increased by 50%, critical strike rate is increased by 20%, and each critical strike can heal 10% of your Life Value. Additionally, when under control effects, there is a 35% chance to break free and increase physical output by 50%.]
[Lord-level Soul Seal: Heart of Brilliance: Brilliance is not meant to defeat darkness but to prevent darkness from corroding our hearts—Austin Watson. Life Value +100%, immune to physical damage, immune to Dark Element Spirit Magic, Divine Damage +50%.]
[Catastrophe-level Soul Seal: Long Blade Sharp Edge: The power of the sword as a cutting blade can destroy the body, but only the mind's blade can sever the soul's shackles. For every 10% of Life Value lost, the Will Attribute is increased by 10%. All attacks include Divine Damage + True Damage, with values based on current Willpower.]
...
Lin Rui clicked his tongue and said, "With so many traits, why doesn't the Empress reward them to the Forbidden Army?"
In this palace, even if there aren't millions, there are hundreds of thousands of soul seals. Even bestowing them to the Forbidden Army could create a powerful force. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Rose frowned and said, "The forest is a very large alliance; even the Empress can't do as she pleases. These treasures must be awarded to meritorious vassals. Without rules and regulations, dispensing randomly, people's hearts would quickly become chaotic."
Lin Rui nodded; he was actually the same way. He also stored a great number of treasures in the Divine Ancient Dragon Library.
Soldiers could use their merits to exchange them, and thinking of this, Lin Rui thought he might as well choose some soul seals to place in the library.
An Elf with thousands of years of heritage surely doesn't lack soul seals and books.
And one function of the Divine Ancient Dragon Library is to generate rewards based on the collection.
[Trait 1: Can collect all books from the territory and daily randomly select 100 for double imprinting.]
[Trait 2: Automatically records each resident's contribution to the territory, assessing the contribution value. Residents can redeem anything from the library using their contribution value.]
[Trait 3: Daily generates Universal Experience Books equivalent to one ten-thousandth of the stored books (each Universal Experience Book increases 500 points of Universal Experience).]
[Trait 4: Allows setting of learning traits; all territory residents can master them after spending enough time in the library (mastery time depends on personal Root Bone, current Territory Level can set one trait, up to Elite-level).]
This was Lin Rui's Divine Ancient Dragon Library data before the Plane War.
But once the Plane War is over and Lin Rui returns, investing a large amount of Territorial Essence will surely cause the territory to soar.
By then, both the total number of books in the territory and the number and limit of settable traits will increase accordingly.
Not to mention, upgrading Trait 4 to Catastrophe-level shouldn't... be excessive, right?
So Lin Rui directly pocketed the Catastrophe-level Soul Seal: Long Blade Sharp Edge.
This Long Blade Sharp Edge trait is incredibly versatile.
The name suggests a long blade, but it actually speaks of the mind like a blade; the power of the sword as a cutting blade can destroy the body, and only the mind's blade can sever the soul's shackles.
Thus, it's a trait that can be used both in ranged and close combat.
For every 10% of Life Value lost, the Will Attribute is increased by 10%. All attacks include Divine Damage + True Damage, based on current Willpower values.
This trait template is undoubtedly excellent; all attacks include Divine Damage + True Damage, a capability that only exists at Wutong Saint Spirit Level.
However, Wutong's intensity is quite high, with all attacks including equivalent Divine Damage + True Damage.
Meaning if her normal Spiritual Energy damage is 300,000, it will include 300,000 Divine Damage + 300,000 True Damage, resulting in a wave of nearly a million damage, turning any opponent to dust.
Considering this is just one of her trait capabilities, it's hard to ensure her subsequent trait abilities won't continue to amplify this, possibly with a causal weapon repeatedly slicing the opponent's life. Even if the opponent can continually resurrect, if the accumulated resurrected Life Value hasn't exceeded a million, they'll continue to be wiped out. Ensuring no damage is wasted due to overflow.
Compared to this, the Long Blade Sharp Edge output template is still decent, though the values are relatively lower.
The base only increases a few hundred points of Divine Damage + True Damage, and even with Willpower continuously rising, it tops out at around a thousand, with the two combined approximately two thousand points.
So it's only rated as Catastrophe-level and needs other traits to be effective together.
However, as a basic trait for the territory, spreading it to everyone is still suitable. At least it ensures a decent output capacity for all soldiers.
Even ordinary soldiers facing a super power like Setra can produce stable output.
Rose glanced at him and said, "Why did you just come in and start grabbing things for your bag?"
Lin Rui earnestly said, "It's all for killing the Shadow of Evil! This ensures the army's fighting capability, enhancing Divine Damage + True Damage, useful for upcoming battles with the Shadow of Evil!"
"Do you even believe yourself?" Rose glared at him impatiently. "You said it was for the army, but you only took one piece."
Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Whether I believe it isn't important; the key is to have an excuse to evade scrutiny. The Empress can't expect the horse to run without feeding it. Don't worry, I know my limits—as long as we don't cross the Empress's bottom line, she won't pay attention to us."
As he said this, Lin Rui selected hundreds of Soul Seals that could enhance Divine Damage and True Damage.
Rose expressed concern, saying, "Be careful not to learn just any Soul Seal; traits need to fit you. Otherwise, you'll end up adding a chaotic mix and easily cause elemental disorder, twisting and collapsing."
Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I knew that long ago. Before participating in the Plane War, I saw a greedy, deformed guard in the Demon Cage."
Lin Rui, primarily aligned with the Water Element, struggles to fit Fire Attribute traits.
Audrey, mostly aligned with the Dark Element, similarly lacks any capability towards Light-related powers.
Rose nodded, saying, "As long as you're clear, while it's true that more traits are better, they are still related to Soul Value. Especially traits directly obtained through Soul Seals like yours; too many can pollute your soul and easily sway your subjective thinking with the obsessions of predecessors."
What's not inherently yours, acquired recklessly, is prone to backfire and collapse.
In this regard, Lin Rui indeed takes great heed, aware that the current impasse is due to rapidly gaining too many territory traits he couldn't finely control, which finally resulted in the Blood-colored Demon Shadow running amok.
Nevertheless, Lin Rui still took the opportunity to sneakily use several restorative Soul Seals on himself while Rose wasn't paying attention!
Never again would he be the man who couldn't stand tall after the night! Tonight, he'd reaffirm his dominance!
