Chapter 279 Temple of the Undead
The system prompt came again. ''You've set up the Temple of the Undead. Territory contribution value just shot up by 10 billion.]
Alan was floored for a second, and Leif, standing next to him, was just as shocked. As the vice-master of the Hall of Glory, he could see the contribution value too.
'Hall of Glory contribution value +10 billion? What kind of building is this?' Alan was surprised but quickly checked out the Temple of the Undead's functions.
[Temple of the Undead: Divine Blessing.]
[Only works in territories where the Ice King is the lord.]
[Effect 1: The Temple of the Undead enshrines the City God, who protects the territory's safety.]
[Effect 2: The incense offerings at the Temple of the Undead can permanently boost one of the Ice King's basic attributes.]
[Durability: Indestructible.]
The description was pretty vague. It didn't say how strong this City God was—nine job changes, demigod, or pseudo-god.
Alan didn't even consider it being a deity. If it were a deity, this Temple of the Undead would be an artifact, and not a low-grade one. But the second effect was interesting. As long as someone offered incense at the Temple of the Undead, it could permanently boost one of his attributes.
Just then, a prompt popped up in front of Alan, asking him to choose which attribute to bind. Alan thought his attack speed was already maxed out. Even adding a hundred thousand free attribute points wouldn't do much.
Attack speed, movement speed, physical penetration, magic penetration—these were all incremental attributes, the more one added, the harder it got.
Alan didn't need to think about physical attack penetration and magic attack penetration, so he skipped them. Critical hit rate was also useless; Alan could easily hit 100% critical rate.
He could stack health points on his own. So, the best attribute for the incense offering to boost would be one not affected by incremental increases.
Like MP, Physical Defense, Magic Defense—these attributes were fixed; for instance, one free attribute point increased MP by five points. Even if Alan had a billion MP, adding more would still increase it by five points per free attribute point.
Physical Defense and Magic Defense were the same. So, Alan had to choose from Physical Defense, Magic Defense, and MP. Given the current situation with the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, he was really short on MP, but permanently increasing MP seemed a bit wasteful.
"Bind Magic Defense." Alan finally made his decision; magical attacks got stronger over time. Permanently increasing Magic Defense would still be useful.
As for Physical Defense, one couldn't have everything. Plus, choosing Magic Defense would also benefit James. After binding, James could enjoy his health points, Physical Defense, and Magic Defense attributes.
Alan said, "This is the Temple of the Undead, Leif. Tell the people of the Mountain and Sea Empire to promote it, get more worshippers and offerings. And you come and worship whenever you have time."
Leif nodded respectfully. He didn't know exactly what Alan was planning. But after Alan cured Darius, he was absolutely loyal to Alan. "Relying on an empire, I wonder how many people will come to worship at this Temple of the Undead."Next, Alan needed to figure out how to find Billy. Billy was really pushing it; it had been so long, and she still hadn't shown up. Collecting his thoughts, Alan took out the Purification Jade Pendant.
The Purification Jade Pendant had finished its evolution a while ago. Now, Alan finally had the chance to check out its new attributes.
[Purification Jade Pendant: Divine Blessing.]
[Wearing Requirements: Can only be worn by the active transferee, can't be dropped, taken, or worn by others unless actively gifted.]
[Effect: Immunity to 92.5% of control, slow, curse, poison, burn, freeze, paralysis, knock-up, and other negative buffs.]
[Durability: Indestructible.]
Alan was floored. This Purification Jade Pendant used a Divine Blessing Scroll and only changed one aspect. As if sensing Alan's frustration, the Sea God spoke up, "What's up?"
"I've been played. My Purification Jade Pendant was special from the start, and after the upgrade, its attributes didn't change; it just became a Divine Blessing," Alan said.
The Sea God thought for a moment and replied, "The rules of Ragnarok wouldn't deceive you; it must have upgraded, likely in terms of higher-level power. For example, control from demigods or pseudo-gods—your Purification Jade Pendant can also resist that."
Alan felt a bit better. If that were the case, he could grudgingly accept it. Collecting his thoughts, he got ready to head to Imperial Capital Dragon City again to see if he could find Billy.
Meanwhile, Alan sent a message to Blade Warrior: [Blade Warrior, do you have the Nightfall Union list? I need the whole list.]
About ten minutes later, Blade Warrior replied: [Okay, right away. I was just called in for a talk about you, Ice King.]
Alan: [Oh? Are they trying to recruit me?] He could only guess a bit.
Blade Warrior: [I don't know the specifics, but our leader wants to meet you.]
Alan: [Oh? Which leader?]
Blade Warrior: [The first person of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.]
Alan was stunned. As a citizen of the Jinse Empire, he knew who the first person of the Heavenly Book Pavilion was. That was the leader of the Jinse Empire, a big deal in the Jinse Empire.
In the face of catastrophe, many countries abandoned their civilians. But this leader didn't. He gave civilians time to grow, mobilized the army to protect them, and worked tirelessly for the Jinse Empire!
Alan had thought that his recent actions might attract the attention of the Jinse Empire's high-level officials, but he hadn't expected that it would be that great figure who wanted to meet him.
Alan: [Alright, you arrange the time, but I only accept an online meeting.]Blade Warrior: [No problem.] He was very pleased; things were going smoother than he had expected.
Meanwhile, Blade Warrior also sent over the list of the Nightfall Union. [This is the list of the Nightfall Union that we have. Only one person is not on it; that person has always hidden their nickname.]
[Thanks.] After getting the list, Alan opened the Code of Life and Death and silently wrote down the name of the first person on the list. He had promised Lysander, so he naturally had to keep his word.
As soon as he wrote down the name, a system prompt sounded in Alan's mind. "Esteemed Lord of the Sanctuary, the Sanctuary Newcomer Genius Tournament will be held in three months. Please select talents from the adventurers to join the Sanctuary and form a team to participate in the Sanctuary Newcomer Genius Tournament. The winning Sanctuary will receive huge rewards!"
Alan was stunned. He had heard of this Sanctuary Newcomer Genius Tournament in his previous life, but as a weakling back then, he had no qualifications to participate. He could only listen to others brag and watch the live broadcasts of those genius battles. Unexpectedly, this tournament was directly issued by the Ragnarok system to the lords of the major sanctuaries. He wondered if he could participate.
