Chapter 5117 The Supreme Guardian! The Race Tower!

Gaia gave Baili Yuan the third World Mark, named [Sacrifice].

After being obtained by Baili Yuan, the World Imprint was immediately awakened.

The effect of this world mark is not particularly complicated; simply put, it can be summed up in one sentence: sacrifice and harvest.

As a world mark, it cannot only be used to sacrifice objects; this world mark can even be used to sacrifice concepts.

For example, negative states such as injury, weakness, and illness.

The sacrifice and the harvest follow the alchemical principle of equivalent exchange: the more, stronger, and more serious the concept and items sacrificed, the more, stronger, and more powerful the power obtained.

Baili Yuan possesses three World Marks.

[Balance] mainly utilizes passive effects, and active activation only accelerates the effect.

[Exploration] requires proactive action, but it also requires skillful execution to trigger the mechanism.

[Sacrifice] Simple and straightforward, with only pure functionality!

"This [Sacrifice] world mark is quite similar to [Devour]; if used properly, it can become a powerful force," Andy commented.

[Devour] is the world mark of the human race's past heritage, and also the reliance that the human race once used to cause "man-made disasters".

The function of [Devour] is equally simple and straightforward: devour everything and become powerful.

Later, because it was too powerful, this world mark was banned.

It has been missing for a long time.

It wasn't until the "Innocent" raid on Hero Island that this world mark reappeared, and it appeared on Andy's sister, Angie.

At that time, Angie had only recently obtained the [Devouring] ability, so its effect on her strength was limited. Otherwise, when Andy fought Angie, it was likely that Andy would have been the one beaten to his knees.

Afterwards, the powers of the saintess and the witch merged, and she was elevated to the status of a saint.

During this process, the [devouring] ability was transferred to Andy.

Andy also became a dual-world imprint owner.

[Devour] In this way, it quietly returned to the human race.

However, Andy dared not easily reveal [Devour], because once [Devour] appeared, it would inevitably cause chaos.

This chaos might even erupt from within the human race itself.

Because the human race is not lacking in ambitious individuals as well.

The leader of the "Innocent" faction is a human, and there are many powerful human figures among its high-ranking members.

What led Andy to make this judgment was the [Causal] World Imprint that she possessed. She always had a stronger premonition and vigilance regarding matters related to cause and effect.

The world imprint of 【Cause and Effect】 is sufficient for Andy to use. 【Cause and Effect】 is a world imprint similar to 【Exploration】, both of which are more inclined towards mechanism operation.

……

The story of the ancient dwarf kingdom has come to an end.

Every race benefited.

The Lock of God, Divine Armor, Bloodline Mark, and Bloodline Weapon made the journey to the ancient dwarf kingdom a fruitful one for all the races who visited.

The ancient dwarf kingdom was completely torn apart by this event, as well as the counterattacks and plundering by various races.

The territory of the ancient dwarf kingdom was occupied by surrounding races, and the members of the ancient dwarf kingdom also went their separate ways to establish new homes in other regions.

The powers and technologies originally possessed by the ancient dwarf kingdom, such as the Chains of God and the Bloodline Mark, were mostly lost and seized by other races.

Only a small number of the ancient dwarfs remained in their homeland to fight the invaders to the death.

In fact, this was an inevitable result.

Because the ancient dwarf kingdom did not have the concept of a nation, it existed as a tribal alliance.

The kingdom was not established until the appearance of the ancient dwarf king, who was chosen by the gods.

The kingdom was established in less than twenty years.

Did the abominations govern the ancient dwarves through faith, or did each tribe have its own faith?

With differing beliefs and tribal divisions, where was the unity of the ancient dwarves? Those who chose to stay and fight to the death were not necessarily those who loved their homeland so much, but rather fanatical believers brainwashed by divine evil, and could not be judged by common sense.

Given that the ancient dwarf kingdom's attacks on other races first provoked the crisis, the current outcome is not surprising.

Naturally, some members of the ancient dwarf race were willing to follow Baili Yuan. Some of these ancient dwarfs joined the Moon God Realm and became Baili Yuan's followers, while others joined the human race and became its vassals.

The ancient dwarves possessed unique forging techniques, including the ability to forge divine garments and weapons, which were equally valuable.

The matter of the ancient dwarf tribe can only be considered a minor ripple.

Because Gaia has come out and started making moves again.

A new announcement was conveyed to all races in the Great World through the Great World Race System.

Gaia's announcement was quite long because there were many details to be set up.

But in summary, there are only three things—

First, each race's Alaya will elect a "Supreme Guardian" to maintain the stability of their race. This guardian also possesses the ability to communicate with Gaia and Alaya.

Second, each race needs to build a "Race Tower." These towers will possess multiple functions, including inheritance, realm advancement, and defense, becoming a crucial aid to the development of their races. Construction blueprints will be issued to the "Supreme Guardian."

Third, the Great World Race System will be upgraded, no longer just a simple panel, but will add a cultivation panel. Powerful individuals from each race can improve their strength by following the paths on the cultivation panel.

Everyone received Gaia's announcement.

Baili Yuan also became the "supreme guardian" of the human race.

This title was even personally bestowed upon him by Gaia.

All the tribes began to discuss the Gaia Proclamation.

The situation on the mainland has strangely stabilized.

After reading the entire announcement and reviewing the construction blueprints for the "Race Tower," the leaders of each race realized Gaia's "sinister intentions."

First of all, there's not much to say about the selection of the "supreme ruler".

It is only right that the strongest should be in charge, possessing the ability to communicate with Gaia and Alaya.

Secondly, the "racial tower" in the second point is disgusting.

Baili Yuan also received the blueprints for the construction of the "Race Tower".

Each race has a different situation, and the blueprints for building the "Race Tower" are also different, but what they have in common is that the "Race Tower" is not easy to build.

All of these require a significant investment of time, manpower, and resources to construct.

But we can't leave the "Race Tower" unbuilt.

The "Race Tower" has a very powerful effect, concerning not only the safety of a race but also the future continuation of the race.

What's amazing is that all the resources needed to build the race tower can be found on their own clan's land!

If you don't know, are you going to wait until your enemy builds their weapon and becomes powerful before attacking you?

What? You plan to launch a surprise attack on the enemy while they are building it?

Hey, your enemy thinks the same way!

Even if the two opposing races give up building race towers, who can guarantee that all the races in the vast world will give up building "race towers"?

Once one race builds a "racial tower," the other, less advanced races can expect to be attacked.

Therefore, for the greatest benefit of the race, all races need to build "racial towers".

Moreover, relative peace must be maintained during the construction period.

Then, once the "Race Tower" is built... all races will return to their current situation, as if there were no difference.

This is the most disgusting part.

The "Race Tower" is just like the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique".

Once it's spread, if you don't choose to participate while others do, you'll only be left to passively take the hits.

When everyone has made their choice, in the end there is no difference.

Besides these, the race tower is also a spectacle in itself.

As we all know, spectacular sights can ruin a country. (End of Chapter)
