Chapter 2: Opening the Divine Realm and the Golden Finger

Name: Li Qing

The barren divine realm has little to offer in terms of sights, and with a thought, Li Qingxin silently recited, "Exit the divine realm"

Although they are mentors, they are merely professionals, falling two major ranks short of warlords, and their statuses are completely incomparable

Divine Domain Characteristics: None

In the depths of the void, at the moment of being compressed to a certain extent, Li Qing suddenly sensed something.

After being compressed to a certain extreme, he suddenly touched something deep within his soul, and then his soul's will directly entered into that thing

Divine Domain Architecture: Diameter 120 meters, half sky, half underground

Although the modified tall tower is still quite conspicuous, it is not as ostentatious as the previous towering beam of light

This is a similarly small space, which is empty and devoid of anything. However, at the edges of this small space, light points continuously gather and drift within the space, while many light points are also accumulating within the space itself

With each point of light invested, Li Qing could feel a warm force gradually seeping into the points of will, quickly restoring the willpower he had just fully compressed and consumed, as well as ...

Li Qing was initially bewildered

Compress again

Promote to War Lord, digitize physical data, default to hero status, and possess a comprehensive attribute table, a strategic attribute table, and a personal attribute table

In this state, Li Qing's mind is exceptionally clear, allowing her to distinctly perceive the existence of her will and the compressing spirit.

Uncertain how much time had passed, Li Qing's shattered will gradually reassembled, realizing that his consciousness had returned to his physical body, which was no longer in the dormitory but instead stood in an open space

Strategic Attributes: Attack +1, Defense +1, Speed +1, Spirit +1

Advanced Skills: None

According to the mentor, after the establishment of the divine realm, they will have a period of half a month for preparation, generally utilizing the large gift package from the Lord of the Blackstone Realm and the resources supported by their families to cultivate and arm their divine realm

The tower is similar to a mage tower, currently consisting of three levels. The underground level is an energy pool, while the two above ground levels serve as living quarters and the divine domain control center respectively

Divine Domain Barrier: 0 / 10000 points

The initial attribute table has little to discuss; for commoners, there are currently no hero skills available for learning. One must register and enter a specialized War Lord Academy to acquire such skills.

I did not expect that the golden finger was not unrelated to the book, but rather that the activation conditions were too stringent, and my former self had never found a way to activate it

But today, one is a lofty warlord, while the other is merely a professional who relies on the warlord.

Li Qing nodded and walked past the two individuals into the comprehensive building

Have you succeeded

The population of the divine realm: 1 in 10,000

Regular resources: None

Over time, I came to believe that time-travel novels are all a deception

Having nothing, utterly destitute

Huang Han: Professional, Level 1

The registration was swift, and the mentors had a special method to determine whether he had successfully opened the divine realm, even completing the assessment without requiring him to demonstrate anything.

Seeing Li Qing approaching, one of them greeted and asked

Those who follow the pure lord path can learn various enhancement territory type hero skills

What is this thing

Divine Realm Heroes: Li Qing [Initial 5 Hero Slots]

At this moment, Li Qing did not know what this object was, only that it contained a small independent space where light points could seemingly condense to strengthen the soul and will. Beyond that, he knew nothing else and could only wait for a later time to explore it slowly.

Not disappearance, but rather ... ...

Reborn at the age of eighteen, he never expected that something would happen to the core of his soul

Because it is merely a divine realm opened up using the basic singularity explosion method, it cannot be compared to the high-level divine realm opening methods employed by the warlords' direct descendants, which allow for the allocation of additional resources to establish a superior divine realm. At this moment, apart from the inherent divine realm core, Li Qing's divine realm contains nothing else; there is not even a single blade of grass on the ground, only a barren expanse of hard, bare soil

Having changed into a different outfit, Li Qing stepped out

As it continues to be compressed, it becomes smaller and smaller.

Comprehensive Attribute Table

However, it is not about uniting with the apprentices of other warlords, but rather recruiting other non-lord heroes or professionals

One day ago, their status was the same; they were all members of the academy's students.

In half a month's time, the resources will be exhausted, and everything that needs to be prepared has been arranged. After half a month, we will head to the Blackrock Tower War Academy—a chaotic void located beyond the Eternal Divine Tree, within the fragmented realms belonging to the Lord of Blackrock.

From now on, everything will be entirely different from the past

As his will suddenly manifested, it acted like a gravitational source, attracting and converging these points of light

Successfully opened the divine realm, this unknown golden finger space is officially activated

Combat Attribute Table

Strategic Level: 0 Tier

Title: Apprentice of the Warlord

Not large, but not small either, significantly larger than those commoners who only have a bit of source quality to open their divine realms

Successfully opened the divine realm

Divine Realm Energy: 1 / 100 Divine Power

Comprehensive building, third floor

Strategic Attribute Table

Are we nearing the limit

Li Qing nodded

With a swift motion of the hand, a sphere of pure light quickly coalesced in the palm.

Li Qingxin's thoughts stirred, and her will leaped out from an unknown space. In the next moment, the compressed singularity went out of control and exploded with a tremendous roar. An indescribable force erupted from the center of the singularity, transforming into a transparent shockwave that swept in all directions, rapidly pushing the surging chaos outward.

After reviewing the divine realm attribute table, Li Qing had a thought and opened his personal attribute table.

The divine realm is not large, consisting of a spherical space with a diameter of only 120 meters, half of which is sky and the other half is thick soil

In this space, the compression of will occurs at an extremely rapid pace, quickly reaching a point where it can no longer be compressed or sustained.

Ou Yongsheng: Professional, Level 1

This is a passive ability inherent to the War Lord, which cannot even be classified as a skill. It allows the War Lord to see the attributes of heroes, professionals, or units with a lower rank than himself, with the level of detail increasing as the rank difference grows.

This state is extremely mysterious and difficult to describe in words

The method he employs for opening is the most fundamental singularity explosion method taught by the academy

Li Qing glanced at them, and immediately a transparent box appeared above the heads of the two, a box that ordinary people could not see.

Looking up at the wall clock, it has been four hours since the beginning of the divine realm's development, and I cannot tell whether time has passed quickly or slowly

Divine Realm: Nameless

Several mentors in the office were chatting when they saw Li Qing entering after knocking on the door. Fang Hai, the mentor of Li Qing's class, immediately recognized his student and smiled, waving his hand.

He plans to first visit the academy to register and confirm the date for reporting to the Blackstone War Academy, and then conveniently collect the new starter pack given by His Highness the Lord of the Blackstone Realm to all newly appointed warlord apprentices of the Blackstone Realm

Spirit + 1, representing the combat skill power of the commanding troops increases by 5%

Defense + 1, representing an increase of 2% in the defense capability of the commanding troops

Every year, so many students venture into the divine realm, yet the success rate is so low, all due to insufficient willpower to compress it to the limit

Compress

With a thought, a luminous sphere rapidly expanded to form a light portal the size of a basin, revealing the space from earlier.

However, the problem is not significant. Even if the heir of the realm master has just opened up a divine domain, apart from being larger than his own divine domain and possessing additional divine domain characteristics and specialties, he is still completely empty and has nothing.

Closing the panel, Li Qing fell into a brief contemplation

Classmate, have you opened the divine realm, or have you been promoted to a hero

Li Qing suddenly realized that this was the divine realm he had just successfully opened up

Strategic talent: None

Heroic Treasures: None

Attack + 1, which represents a 5% increase in the attack power of the commanding troops

The divine realm opened in this manner possesses no distinctive features, nor can it, like advanced methods of opening, additionally integrate treasures during the creation of the divine realm. After the divine realm is established, it does not generate unique characteristics or special products of the divine realm within the newly formed divine realm.

Your Excellency, please

Is this my rebirth golden finger

Divine Domain Architecture: No [Initial 5 Building Slots]

The meaning is to simulate the singularity explosion at the birth of the universe, compressing one's own spirit, and under the control of will, compressing to the extreme point, and finally releasing it, using one's own will and spirit to forcibly clear away the chaos, thereby opening up a divine realm

Before she could react, Li Qing suddenly felt as if her existence had vanished abruptly

The current academy is merely a junior college, teaching only some theoretical knowledge. Specific advanced knowledge related to extraordinary matters will only be taught upon entering a true war academy

The two individuals immediately displayed expressions of envy, along with a hint of respect, and promptly stepped back to make way

The two individuals before me belong to the lowest tier of successful professionals; they have just been promoted and have yet to determine their careers

As all the light points within the fusion space converged, Li Qing felt that the strength of his soul and will had surged several times. At this moment, he was filled with confidence, continuing to compress the greatly enhanced soul and will.

Time and again, Li Qing could clearly feel that his mental strength had been compressed to an extremely high degree, yet he still sensed that there was a limit to the compression.

Li Qingxin's thoughts stirred, and the towering beam of light rapidly converged, transforming into a crystal-like tower approximately 10 meters high

Speed + 1 indicates an increase of 5 points in the movement speed of the commanded troops

Race: Eternal Humans

At this time, the divine realm is a Level 0 divine realm, possessing a divine realm core, a divine realm barrier, five slots for divine realm buildings, five slots for heroes, an initial population limit of 10,000, and a divine power limit of 100 units

Special products of the divine realm: None

The instructor explained clearly in class that the method of opening the divine realm through singularity explosion relies on compression as the key factor. If the degree of compression is insufficient, the power of the explosion will not be enough to dispel chaos and open up the divine realm.

Therefore, Li Qing replied with a smile

The newly established divine realm has little to offer in terms of sights; it requires subsequent investment of resources for gradual management and development

The establishment of the divine realm has completely failed, the energy of the divine realm seed has entirely dissipated, and the process of body dataization cannot be completed, leaving one to become an ordinary civilian

However, the issue is not significant; these can all be compensated for through acquired means

As a multitude of light points permeated, Li Qing could clearly feel the strength of his soul and will.

In a vague sense, he had a clear understanding that the compression of his soul and will seemed to be approaching a certain point, and once that point was reached, it would...

Strategic levels increase by one tier for every 10 levels, granting 1 strategic attribute point, which can be allocated to enhance strategic attributes

Above is a transparent dome, beneath is solid earth

The registration office is also located in the comprehensive building. When Li Qing passed by, he saw two male classmates from other classes chatting at the entrance

Fang Hai and several mentors beside him all displayed a hint of surprise and a touch of envy

Divine Realm Level: 0

However, he is well aware that he has successfully opened the divine realm, been promoted to the rank of warlord apprentice, and officially embarked on the extraordinary path

The newly opened divine realms are all spherical in shape, but later, when sufficient source material is obtained to expand the divine realm, one can freely control the enlarged area and adjust the internal spatial form

Throughout the entire process, Li Qing was either conversing with Mentor Fang Hai or receiving explanations from the mentor regarding the situation of the Blackstone Tower War Academy

I succeeded

Divine Realm Soldier: None

Compress to the utmost limit

Successfully opened the divine realm, promoted to the warlord, this status holds the highest potential.

In the next moment, the person had vanished, and a sense of bewilderment enveloped me. I reappeared in the dormitory, everything resembling a fleeting dream.

Name: Li Qing

Basic Skills: One-Handed LV1, Running LV1, Throwing L, and Books V1

If possible, who wouldn't want a better beginning, but there is no way around it

However, in this regard, Li Qing still has quite an advantage. Having lived two lives, the strength of his soul is significantly greater than that of an ordinary person

Name of the Divine Realm: Nameless

At this stage, there is nothing inside

The attempt to open the divine realm has failed, resulting in the loss of the majority of the energy of the divine realm seed. The remaining energy can only barely achieve the digitization of the body, but cannot promote to a hero, and can only become a professional. This status is the lowest, equivalent to an enhanced version of a soldier.

Success?

Name: Li Qing

Those who follow the path of combat can learn various combat skills for fighting

It can only be said that in this state, he can clearly feel that his soul and mental will are all compressed into a single point, and he can even sense the existence of this point

By chance, successfully opening the divine realm

The core of the divine realm is generally regarded as a towering light column located at the very center of the divine realm, but its form can be altered at any time

Li Qing's tears streamed down his face. Having been reborn in this world for eighteen years, he had explored his golden finger more than once, yet he had gained nothing.

The purpose of Li Qing's greeting to these two professionals was clear in her mind; it was nothing more than to recruit followers for a well-born warlord's apprentice.

Hero Skill: None

In the early stages of becoming an apprentice warlord, one finds oneself in a state of utter poverty and weakness within the divine realm, where solitary activities are exceedingly perilous. Many apprentices, particularly those of commoner origin, prefer to band together for development.

Indeed, as a reborn individual, one is bound to possess a golden finger

Unfortunately, his parents are not in the Blackstone Realm; otherwise, he would definitely inform them of this good news immediately, believing that they would be very pleased

The outcomes of opening the divine realm can be categorized into four types

Without overthinking, Li Qing began to control her will, compress her spirit, and prepare to establish her divine realm

The combat level and strategic level are quite similar, with one hero skill point awarded for every 10 levels, which can be used to learn hero skills

After all, the vast majority of students in junior colleges are unable to open the divine realm, and even unable to settle for the alternative of transforming their physical data into that of heroes or professionals; thus, learning extraordinary knowledge in advance is of no use

Level: 1

The attempt to open the divine realm has failed, but by utilizing the residual energy of the divine realm seed, the process of body digitization has been completed, resulting in the promotion to hero, a status that is secondary.

Those who follow the commander route can learn various commander-related hero skills to enhance the strength of their subordinates
