133: Divine Realm Sedimentation, Full Digestion to Aid Enhancement (Part 2)

Faith is the currency of gods and the catalyst for the growth of dependents.

In the past, Lin Zhou's use of the Power Of Faith was relatively crude, mostly distributed evenly or concentrated at critical moments.

But now, with a massive fortune of over 50,000 units of faith crystal in his hands, he could conduct an unprecedented, meticulously precise "investment."

Power Of Faith Precise Deployment Plan:

Target Group: All dependents at a Rank Bottleneck (LV29, LV19, etc.).

Deployment Method: Link through the Temple of Civilization and various core buildings (Academy, Workshop, Barracks), acting precisely on target individuals in the form of "Light of Epiphany," "Potential Excitation," etc.

Expected Consumption: Initial investment of 5,000 units of faith crystal.

Expected Effect: Prompt a large number of dependents to achieve a Breakthrough in their current Rank, rapidly increasing the average combat power of the Divine Realm.

With the precise injection of massive amounts of Power Of Faith, beams of Breakthrough radiance began to light up everywhere in the Divine Realm!

In the Academy and forests where the Literary Heart Elves gathered, beams of white Vast Righteous Qi shot into the sky, their aura becoming more condensed and long-lasting; inside the forging workshops and mines of the Tiangong Dwarves, the dwarves roared, muscles bulging, power surging, their control over fire and metal significantly improved; the Law Fishmen patrols, under the shroud of the Light of Order, had their spirits become increasingly tenacious, and their understanding of the Law deepened.

Dependent Rank Improvement Statistics (First Batch):

Literary Heart Elves: Average Rank LV29 → LV30! Number of Breakthroughs: 125. New LV31 Elites: 18.

Tiangong Dwarves: Average Rank LV28 → LV29! Number of Breakthroughs: 98. New LV30 Elites: 15. Successfully birthed 1 LV32 God Artisan (non-hero, but possesses unique forging talent).

Law Fishmen: Average Rank LV27 → LV28! Number of Breakthroughs: 87. New LV29 Elites: 12.

Overall Effect: Average Rank of Divine Realm dependents increased by 1! Number of high-end combat power (above LV30) increased by approximately 25%!

This was just the beginning! Lin Zhou reserved more faith crystal for subsequent continuous cultivation and outbursts at critical moments.

Based on the overall improvement of the dependents, Lin Zhou began to focus on "watering" the three hero units. They were the true sharp blades and pillars of the Divine Realm.

He first summoned Elwin.

"my god." Elwin bowed respectfully. The aura around him was more rounded and profound than before; clearly, the optimization of the library and his previous insights had benefited him greatly.

Lin Zhou took out a small portion of [Soul Gold Dust] and a Law comprehension stone inclined towards "Spirit" and "Education."

"Elwin, you guide the Vast Righteous Qi and educate the masses, rendering meritorious service to the Divine Realm. I grant this to you, hoping you will soon touch the deeper essence of 'Education.' If you can condense the budding of related divinity, it will be a great fortune for both you and the Divine Realm."

Elwin's body trembled, and his hands shook slightly as he received these two incomparably precious treasures. Soul Gold Dust could nourish his Soul Origin, and the Law comprehension stone could help him understand the "Education" rule; this was undoubtedly timely help!

"Elwin will certainly not fail your expectations, my god!" He bowed deeply, his eyes filled with firmness and emotion.

Next was Bronzebeard Stonehammer.

"Haha, my god! Is there a new task again?" Bronzebeard hurried over, his whole body still carrying the heat of the furnace.

Lin Zhou handed him the [Star Sand] and the approval note for the output quota of the largest [orichalcum vein].

"Bronzebeard, the Tian Gong Institute is the cornerstone of the Divine Realm. I want you to use these Materials to prioritize crafting a set of Epic-grade or higher equipment for Elwin, Snik Shadowclaw, and yourself! At the same time, the [Floating Bombardment Platform] project must be accelerated!"

Bronzebeard looked at the sparkling Star Sand and the note representing a massive amount of orichalcum, his eyes widening like copper bells, his breathing becoming heavy: "Rest assured, my god! Even if I don't eat or sleep, I will get these treasures out for you! I guarantee I'll let our heroes upgrade their gear!"

He excitedly thumped his chest, took the note and Materials, and almost ran back to the Tian Gong Institute.

Finally, Snik Shadowclaw.

Snik remained silent and solemn, but his eyes were sharper.

Lin Zhou gave him a Law comprehension stone containing the rules of "Order" and "Judgment," as well as the authority to mobilize some heroic spirits to assist in maintaining Order and spreading the Law.

"Snik, the Net of Law needs to cover a wider area and drill deeper. Order is the skeleton of civilization and cannot afford to be lost."

"Where the Law is, there is the direction of your will, my god!" Snik accepted the Order solemnly. He could feel the comprehension stone in his hand resonating strongly with his own Law divinity.

After dealing with the hero units' affairs, Lin Zhou began to integrate those Epic-grade resource cards.

The [Elemental Spring] was placed in an open area, forming a spring eye emitting colorful halos, attracting many elves and dwarves close to the elements to Cultivate or fetch water, slightly improving the elemental affinity of related dependents.

The [Dragon Blood Thorn Forest] was planted in key areas on the border of the Divine Realm, forming a natural defensive belt with Dragon-might warnings and dual physical and magical damage.

The [Starlight Moss] covered areas of the Divine Realm with insufficient light, improving the environment and enhancing the comfort of the dependents.

The [Floating Stone Fragments] were sent to the Tian Gong Institute, led by Bronzebeard himself for research.

Other resource cards were also used to their full potential, integrated into the ecological cycle and development system of the Divine Realm.

Time passed rapidly during the high-speed operation and deep integration of the Divine Realm. The outside world might have only passed half a day, but inside the Divine Realm, under the adjustment of time flow, nearly five days had passed.

When Lin Zhou's consciousness withdrew from the deep regulation, what he felt was a Divine Realm completely different from before!

The operation of the rules was smoother and more harmonious, energy flow was orderly, the dependents were full of spirit, their strength had generally improved by a level, and the three hero units had received highly targeted support, their potential further stimulated.

The entire Divine Realm seemed to have experienced an inner-to-outer baptism and sublimation, its foundation becoming deeper, and its potential excavated to a greater extent.

Divine Realm Comprehensive Assessment (After Deep Consolidation):

Area: 60 square kilometers (Stable)

Rule Perfection: 93% → 95% (Significant effect of deep integration)

Average Dependent Rank: LV29 → LV30 (Overall qualitative change)

Energy Utilization Efficiency: Excellent → Outstanding

Divine Realm Stability: Extremely High (Rule conflicts basically eliminated, energy cycle self-contained)

Development Potential: Huge (Sufficient resource reserves, clear growth paths for hero units, technology R&D entering the fast lane)

Feeling the majestic vitality and orderly operation of the Divine Realm, Lin Zhou's exhausted spirit was filled with immense satisfaction.

This solid foundation, improved from the inside out, made him feel far more at ease than simply obtaining any amount of rewards.

He knew that after this thorough consolidation and digestion, his Divine Realm was ready to face any challenge, including... that final leap.

Consciousness returned to the quiet room, and the sunlight outside was just right.

Lin Zhou pushed open the door of the quiet room, walked to the terrace of the villa, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Although his spirit was somewhat exhausted from the long-term high-precision control, his eyes were as bright as stars.

The consolidation of the Divine Realm was initially completed. Next, it was time to put some energy back into catching up on personal theoretical knowledge and the simulated battles agreed upon with Su Yueyao and the others.

The countdown to the college entrance examination was still ticking.

But at this moment, he was more confident, and his steps were steadier.
