Chapter 1, Era of the War Lords

The chubby Zhao Dingzhen chuckled happily

Li Qing glanced at the fat man before him, who was the legitimate son of a certain formal warlord, and found himself at a loss for words

Moreover, although this device can connect to the network, its range is limited to the Blackstone Realm and cannot contact the worlds of other realm lords

Although his status and life in the family were not much different from those of commoners in the past, he was still considered part of the family. As long as he could successfully open up the divine realm and advance to the rank of warlord apprentice, the family's influence would be able to manifest.

However, Li Qing heard that there are more advanced products available on the market, as well as personal terminals that individuals can carry with them, which can connect to the worlds of other realm masters through a signal relay system after payment is made

Success leads to immediate elevation

Although this device appears to have achieved many functions of a computer, it is not a computer after all. It cannot be programmed and does not support games, offering only basic file storage and remote network reception, as well as a browser and simple functionalities similar to online shopping platforms like Taobao.

Li Qing rested his chin on his hand, listening to the history instructor recount the history of human civilization, a narrative that had been repeated no less than ten times. Even after hearing it ten times, he still found it remarkably intriguing

Mentor Fang Hai looked at the sincere faces and eyes of the young boys below, feeling a mix of comfort and a hint of reluctance

There are many methods to open a divine realm, and the success rate, utilization of source quality, and the size of the divine realm after its establishment vary with different methods of opening the divine realm

In other words, every year, tens of thousands of people venture into the divine realm, but ultimately, only about a dozen have the opportunity to reach the end and be promoted to official warlords

Li Qingguan entered, removed his outer garment, and sat down at the desk. He casually pressed a button located at the corner of a large crystal panel embedded in the wall in front of the desk. The crystal panel immediately lit up, and an operating interface began to materialize.

Li Qing also could not escape the norm and followed suit.

The grace of Your Highness, the Lord of the Realm, in providing protection and nurturing will be eternally unforgettable; should I achieve success in the future, I will certainly not forget it

What a wonderful world it is

Li Qing stood up and said earnestly

Having been reborn in this world for eighteen years, Li Qing is acutely aware that this is a world where the disparity in status is greater than one might imagine, and he understands the vast difference between having family support and being of commoner origin

It is difficult to say in the future, but the initial stage is certainly stronger than that of an ordinary person.

All domain masters of human civilization have the responsibility to cultivate new individuals from hetushu.com. Each year, they must allocate a substantial amount of resources from their income to help newcomers establish divine realms in various universities. However, the success rate for newcomers to establish divine realms is extremely low, with often only a few hundred out of tens of thousands of newcomers succeeding in doing so each year

This device is a rune product similar to a tablet computer, created using magical rune technology from the New Era, capable of performing most functions of a computer

After that, the two continued to chat for a while. Once Li Qing had tidied up their belongings, they both left the classroom together

Under the stimulation of the source material, the already matured divine domain seeds have been activated

Now, class is dismissed

According to the professor, from now on, as long as one uses mental power to draw the source quality from the source quality card into the body, the irreversible operation of opening the divine realm will begin

And how to open the divine realm

The source material has many uses, but the greatest benefit, aside from opening the divine realm, is its application in strengthening the divine realm

Do you also wish to pursue a war strategy? This endeavor is resource-intensive, whether it involves training your kin, paying army salaries, hiring heroes or professionals, or covering logistics and maintenance costs, as well as the expenses for promotion runes. Do you possess such abundant resources?

Turning around, I opened the bedside drawer and took out an exquisite locked wooden box. Upon opening the box, I found two source quality cards inside

The Blackstone Realm, where Li Qing resides, is the divine domain of the warlord of the Blackstone Realm, covering a total area of 86,000 square kilometers. This has gradually expanded from an initial divine domain of less than one square kilometer.

There was nothing to say, Li Qingjing sat for half an hour to calm her mind. With a single thought, a small amount of mental energy was activated, and the three source quality cards stacked in her palm quickly collapsed into a ball of clear light, merging into her palm

Distributed to each class

The several hundred warlord apprentices who have just opened up the divine realm must undergo countless planar wars to grow, and the likelihood of ultimately succeeding in their promotion to formal warlords is almost nonexistent.

However, the advanced methods for opening divine realms are all held by those warlord families, including the family to which Li Qing belongs, which possesses ancestral techniques for opening divine realms. However, these techniques are only passed down to the direct descendants of the family, and individuals like Li Qing, who are from collateral branches, have no hope of receiving them

Using the power of the divine realm to purify the imprint within the origin of the plane, what remains is the purest essence of the source

The precautions that need to be mentioned have already been addressed by the teacher at www.hetushu.com. Everyone should already be aware of how to open up the domain. Later, you can go to the academy to collect a source quality card, and once you are prepared, you can proceed to open the divine realm

Among the fifty-eight students before us, only five or six will succeed, and at most, it will not exceed ten.

He paused for a moment and said

Thousands of troops and horses cross a single-log bridge, yet the brave fear nothing

Immediately, a student responded loudly

However, if a formal warlord arrives in the current plane carrying a signal relay system, it is generally the case that when a large-scale invasion of a certain plane occurs, a formal warlord will arrive with a signal relay system. At that time, the warlord's apprentices, heroes, or professionals in the plane can communicate in real-time through the signal relay system

Well, alright!

They descended into the infinite planes of the chaotic void, expanding their territory, nurturing their followers, forming armies, plundering resources and ancient legacies from the hands of monster lords, gradually strengthening the divine realm, and ultimately consolidating into the supreme warlord throne, becoming the supreme existence of the new era

A trace of source quality is possessed by every member of the family when they establish their divine realm. If they succeed in establishing their divine realm, they will receive a standard resource package, in addition to...

The old era collapses silently, while the new era is reborn from the remnants of the old era

My father had previously prepared a small amount of source material for me

The dormitories of the academy consist of several five-story buildings, whose architectural style closely resembles that of the technological era of a previous epoch on Earth. Thanks to the emphasis placed by the realm's master on the academy, each student is provided with an independent small dormitory

Li Qing paused for a moment, shook his head and said

Although everyone has opportunities, those who succeed are few and far between

Success is that of an apprentice to a noble warlord, and the extraordinary path is thus opened

However, if one departs from the main human world and descends into the chaotic void sea of other planes, this device will lose its signal

A slightly chubby-faced boy leaned over the table and asked

Hello, we cannot compare to those formal warlord heirs; being stronger than the average person is already quite good.

No explanation was given, but in that moment, he had a sudden realization; this was the chaos that followed the activation of the Divine Domain Seed. Next, he needed to carve out a Divine Domain within this chaos

Additionally, if you are able to successfully open the divine realm at m.hetushu.com, remember to register at the school and conveniently collect the gift package that the Lord of the Realm has prepared for each successful warlord apprentice who opens the divine realm, as this is very important for you

Although it is merely a branch of a branch of the family, and is five generations removed from the main lineage, as long as one has not severed ties with the family, one is eligible to receive a source quality card to establish a divine realm

All hope is lost in failure, and one can only become a commoner, trapped in a small place and finding it difficult to leave

Li Qing, has your family prepared anything for you

Goodbye, teacher

After defeating or exterminating the ruling race or civilization of a plane, one can forcibly plunder the essence of the plane by harnessing the power of the divine realm

Li Qing replied while tidying up his belongings

The two cards were provided by the family, one of which was prepared for him by his father a long time ago

It is unclear how much time has passed, but Li Qing gradually became aware of his own existence, sensing that he seemed to be in a gray and hazy chaos, surrounded by the intense and surging breath of chaos

At this point, the era of the Lords of the Universal War has arrived

Moreover, it is not guaranteed that one can successfully open the divine realm, considering the low success rate.

Take out two source quality cards, Li Qing turned around and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the dormitory door, locked it, turned back to the bedside, and stacked three source quality cards in the palm of his hand, lightly exhaling.

Until a certain age, the divine domain seed is completely matured. At this point, it can merge with the source material, utilizing the power of the source material to activate the divine domain seed and open up a divine domain.

and provide a standard resource package based on the results, as well as subsequent training

The Blackstone Divine Realm, where we reside, is governed by the War Lord of the Blackstone Realm, covering an area of 86,000 square kilometers and sheltering a population of over 18 million.

Zhao Dingzhen shrugged his shoulders and did not continue the topic

Opening up the divine realm presents opportunities for all. As a fated race, every human born within the coverage of the Eternal Divine Tree possesses a seed of the divine realm in their mind from the moment of birth. This seed will gradually mature as they grow.

As the remnants of the old days, the people of Earth have received the mandate of a new era, attained awakening in the divine realm, and qualified for promotion to warlords

The so-called source quality, in simple terms, refers to the processed origin of the plane.

Establishing a divine realm requires not only talent and luck but also a high level of technical skill. It places significant demands on an individual's mental strength, soul intensity, and various personal traits. The vast majority of humans fail to establish a divine realm by the time they reach adulthood

I also want to pursue the path of war

Humanity's war civilization, having attained the destiny of a new era, is born from the eternal divine tree

As the figure of Fang Hai disappeared from view, the classroom, after a brief moment of silence, immediately became noisy, with students whispering and engaging in conversation.

This is a five-story teaching building, aligned in a row with four other teaching buildings. In front is a large playground and the school gate, while behind are the dormitories, and to the right is the comprehensive building. At this moment, the area in front of the comprehensive building is crowded with students collecting their quality cards.

However, although he knew in his heart, Fang Hai still sincerely hoped that more students could succeed

The so-called source quality card is the size of a playing card, made of hard transparent crystal, within which there seems to be transparent smoke flowing. On the outside, there is only a badge pattern representing the master of the Black Stone Realm, with nothing else.

This contains a complete source quality, which can be used to cultivate divine domain seeds

Li Qing briefly browsed the Blackstone Realm portal website, where the top news reported that the Lord of the Blackstone Realm, in conjunction with various warlords under his command, had defeated an orc kingdom in a large plane, plundering a substantial amount of resources and orcs.

The sovereign is benevolent and willing to cultivate the subjects of the territory without charge

He clapped his hands to signal everyone to quiet down and said in a deep voice

Oh, so you have three points of source quality. If you can successfully open up the divine realm, the initial area of the divine realm will be larger than that of others.

With a feeling of envy, Li Qing looked for a while, then closed the website. After browsing the portal site again and finding no other fresh news, she closed the site.

Orcs are a race particularly well-suited for cultivation as the main battle kin of the divine realm, especially powerful races such as tiger people, bear people, wolf people, and bull people. They not only have a high initial level but also possess a high promotion limit

There are more than a dozen junior schools affiliated with the Blackstone War Academy within the Blackstone Realm, each year thousands of individuals attempt to establish a divine domain, but ultimately only about forty to fifty succeed from each school

If one fails, there is nothing more to say. However, if one can successfully open the divine realm, or even if one fails but manages to complete the transformation of their physical data into that of a hero or a professional, their status within the family will immediately rise.

Each eternal fruit and each eternal divine leaf represents a realm of war of varying sizes, sheltering millions of people

These days mark the time for you to establish your divine realm, and the realm master provides each student with a bit of source material to assist you in this endeavor. Remember your roots, and should you achieve success in the future, please do not forget this kindness

No, but we can take our time

Two people stood at the back of the line, chatting casually. In less than ten minutes, it was their turn. After a brief registration, they received a source quality card.

Li Qing pinched his chin and opened the trading platform to search for orc transactions, discovering that there were many pre-order listings, with numerous individuals having reserved large quantities of orcs from various races in advance

This item is very expensive, classified as an academic configuration, and cannot be taken away after graduation

Just like the explosion of the universe, the opening of the divine realm and the birth of the world share a remarkable similarity.

The price of the Beastman and Beastman Promotion Card is set to decrease

The warlord descends upon the foreign plane, plundering various resources within the plane. If there are ruling races or civilizations in the plane, the essence of the plane or the essence of the civilization will be condensed.

The Eternal Divine Tree stands tall above the chaotic void, with 541 Eternal Fruits suspended above it, representing 541 War Divine Thrones. Additionally, there are 4.65 million Eternal Leaves, symbolizing 4.65 million War Lords of human civilization

At this point, the instructor tapped the podium and said loudly

Then, Li Qing felt a cool breath merging into her body from the palm of her hand, swiftly rising along her arm and instantly integrating into her brain

Boom

To be honest, if we can successfully open up the divine realm, should we form a team together? I will take the path of warfare, while you will take the path of logistics, complementing each other's strengths

The dormitory is not large, measuring only 5 to 6 square meters, accommodating a bed, a small wardrobe, and a desk, with no other furnishings.

Unfortunately, my father and mother are currently at the family estate, serving under a warlord, and are now engaged in battles in foreign lands, not present in the Blackstone Realm, making it impossible to contact them

A failure of the common people

However, the only drawback is the high price; it is not only expensive for the common people, but also the promotion runes for the powerful orc units are costly, which Li Qing cannot afford

After receiving the source quality card, Li Qing and Zhao Dingzhen parted ways and returned to their respective dormitories

Still unable to react, it felt as if a bomb had exploded in an instant within his mind, and Li Qing instantly lost all perception, entering a state of chaos

Well, it will be a bit larger, but not by much. It certainly cannot compare to certain individuals who can easily obtain dozens of source qualities to forcibly open up a divine realm
