Chapter 150: Dark Cursed Plane
Only after opening the gift packs, did Ram's gaze land on the inconspicuous Item Bar at the edge of the panel, which he'd overlooked in his initial excitement.
When he opened it, a new list appeared, making him pause in pleasant surprise:
[ Items owned:
[Source Power] x4, [Tier 3 Recruitment Card] x80, [Inferior Blood Qi Stone] x1000, [Inferior Source Stone] x1
]
Curious, he clicked on both [Inferior Blood Qi Stone] and [Inferior Source Stone] to read their descriptions.
[Inferior Blood Qi Stone]:
Contains 10 points of pure blood qi, which can be used to restore the user's Blood Qi. It has a mild effect on strengthening the body and internal organs.
[Inferior Source Stone]:
Contains 10 Source Points, usable for upgrading the level of source creatures, powering Territory buildings and etc...
Ram's fingers hovered over the Blood Qi Stones, remembering Korrin's words about the Divine Spirit Tree's rewards for clearing the Lord's Trial.
"So, these are the rewards for passing that trial…not exactly missing, just hidden until my territory opened up."
But as he inspected the descriptions more closely, he sensed that the real rewards of the trial were likely the Territory token itself and the Blood Qi stones, which could strengthen the body and improve the strength of the creatures.
The Source Stone, however, seemed like a basic benefit, a kind of intended to help him get started. Yet, he didn't have any proof—just a feeling.
Ram returned to the main interface, feeling a rush of relief as he realized he now had enough Source Points to initiate a teleportation to the Lord's City.
The Inferior Source Stone, holding exactly the amount he needed, felt like a fortunate break—something that seemed almost custom-tailored for a new Lord or Lords that passed the Lord's trial, which also made him think of it as "newcomer welfare."
He scrolled through the options until he found the [Lords City] tab, a description popping up as he clicked it informing him of more details, which was many times better than his own attribute panel that needed him to use his spiritual eye to check details.
[Lords City:
A place of absolute safety, where Lords can trade and reside.
]
[System Note:
Each trip to the Lord's City costs 10 units of Source Power or more, depending on the city. To stay longer, you must pay 10 units of Source power per additional day.
]
The interface showed four cities he could choose from, each requiring a different amount of Source Points for teleportation.
The lowest,
[Lord City - 173]
, required 10 Source Points, while the most expensive option needed 100 points. Without hesitation, Ram selected
[Lord City - 173]
, the one most within his budget.
He didn't have many plans for this trip but just wanted to check and gather more information about Lords.
Instantly, a warm white glow enveloped him. He felt a gentle pull as his surroundings faded, and in a heartbeat, he was gone, leaving the entire space empty and silent.
------
A few minutes before, while Ram was still in the process of checking his new Hero Panel.
In a vast, chaotic astral space, a colossal palace floated through the void, ethereal and imposing, its structure illuminated by surrounding chaotic energy.
Inside, four figures sat around a round table, one woman and three men, each a divine projection radiating an aura of power that bent the surrounding astral light.
Their faces, though half-veiled in astral glow, held expressions of intense focus and seriousness as they discussed matters of large importance.
Suddenly one of the Divine Projections, with eyes that gleamed like stars piercing the darkness, suddenly paused mid-conversation.
He felt an odd shift, something he hadn't expected for another few years.
His gaze turned to the side, piercing through layer after layer of dense astral space layers until his sight settled on a small, newly formed space connected to the Wood Spirit Realm—a fragment, no more than a square kilometer in size.
Orion's expression softened with a trace of amusement as he observed Ram within it.
"This kid's opened his space much faster than I expected," he murmured, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. "I thought it'd take at least two or three years for him to figure it out, and here he is, pulling it off early."
"However, I don't know whether to appreciate him or feel sorry for his timing." the figure sighed, frowning as his gaze looked on to the other side of the Wood Spirit Realm where similar Void Fragments connected with the Wood Spirit Realm, and fighting against a huge 'Dark cursed Plane' which is not much smaller than the Wood Spirit Realm.
The only difference in the void fragments aiding the Wood Spirit Realm, and his space is that they are significantly larger than Ram's current space and possess the ability to fight back.
"Huh, Brother Orion, what's wrong?" came a voice from his left. The speaker was a woman, her projection radiant and graceful, yet edged with a fierce power.
She observed him with mild concern, noting the frown creasing his features. "Did you find something unusual?"
Orion's gaze remained fixed, "Perhaps," he replied slowly, "But it's a small matter, just a kid with good potential."
The woman's expression softened with a smile, a mix of curiosity glinting in her eyes. "Oh, he must be quite talented for him to earn your praise?"
Orion gave a slow, approving nod, his gaze following Ram's faintly glowing form as he began his teleportation. "Indeed. He shows promise, but he's still too low-level to truly influence the world around him. Who knows how long he can survive from what's coming next."
A deep, rumbling laugh broke through the group's thoughtful silence. Another divine projection, seated nearby, spoke up, his body towering over the others with an aura more primal and intense.
Unlike the woman's elegance or Orion's star-like brilliance, this being radiated raw strength—a humanoid dragon, scales gleaming with ethereal fire, horns arching toward the ceiling.
"Haha, brother, you're as carefree as ever," he said with a wry grin. "But then, my own descendants worry me so much. Even though they were born among the aboriginals of Blue Star, I can't seem to shake this bond."
The woman chuckled softly, her gaze shifting between the two. "A protective streak, who doesn't know your lustful nature, I guess by now you have more than a thousand direct descendants all over the Blue Star."
The dragon figure let out a booming laugh, the sound echoing like distant thunder through the grand hall. "Ah, you call me! Lustful? I prefer to call it... ensuring my legacy."
He smirked, his golden eyes gleaming with a glint. "Besides, can you blame me? Life's pleasures should be savored, especially by those who wield power."
The woman raised an eyebrow, a smirk of her own playing on her lips. "Savoring life's pleasures, or simply unable to resist a pretty face?"
He shrugged, unashamed, reclining back with a proud grin. He then looked at the person who sat on the central seat and questioned him, "Brother Wu, how are your descendants doing? Did you find anyone good enough to bring them back to God's Land?"
