Chapter 555: The Feast of a Legend’s Birth
“This Fruit of Laws allows those who consume it to directly master a domain under a natural law. As for what kind of domain it will be, that depends on their own circumstances!”
The reason Donald chose to have the Book of Fate condense the seeds of natural law domains was that the World Tree itself was a powerful, immortal plant of the natural faction, making it easiest to gather forces related to nature.
“What I’m saying is that this transformation has absolutely no side effects! Even ordinary people who have never trained can gain a lifespan and talents comparable to those of direct descendants of high elves by consuming one such Fruit of Laws, and they will also possess the talent to become powerful professionals. Moreover, these benefits act directly on the soul and bloodline!”
What Donald implied was that such bloodline talents could be passed on to the next generation!
This greatly shocked the representatives of many factions present. While creating a legendary warrior directly could greatly enhance their own forces, it would still only add one more legendary warrior, without having a decisive impact.
But these legendary bloodline talents could be inherited by descendants, allowing the bloodline to be passed down through generations. This was equivalent to creating a pure-blooded descendant of high elves like the Sun Elves or Moon Elves out of thin air, and then producing a family with elven bloodlines!
This was exactly the outcome those factions longed for!
Mastering one more domain was an immense temptation even for the demi-god warriors present. Having one more domain power meant a significant boost in combat strength, offering more ways to defeat enemies. Most importantly, it meant having at least one more option when gathering divine powers!
It should be noted that it is extremely difficult for demi-gods to acquire new domain powers; only by reaching the level of lower gods does it become somewhat easier!
The power of a domain lies not only in its strength but also in the true meaning of the word “domain.” A domain is the initial form of law power, and it is because of such power that attacks launched by legendary warriors carry higher-level law forces. Warriors below the legendary level basically have no resistance to this.
Whether it’s sword energy for strong resistance to spells or magical defense barriers, without legendary-grade equipment and corresponding power levels, there is no way to avoid being struck—only to take the blows!
Apart from attacking forces governed by rules, the domain’s defensive capabilities are even more formidable. Once enemies below the legendary level are trapped within it, they cannot fully utilize their strength and become mere pawns at the mercy of the domain’s master! As for those guests still in the mortal realm, they gaze eagerly, wishing they could devour those mere hundred-odd fruits with their eyes alone. Unfortunately, the supply is limited, and only those seated at the main table are eligible to enjoy them. Those present are either true gods, demi-gods, or chosen ones of true gods, or representatives of powerful forces ruling the main world. Even the representatives of the five great kingdoms are merely ordinary members of the third tier among them! After all, compared to the lofty gods, though the five great kingdoms and other forces hold high status in the main world and even earn considerable respect from the gods’ churches, once they leave the main world, aside from Sendel, they are just material-world forces without the backing of true gods. At this point, many representatives of these forces hesitate, unsure whether to consume the fruits themselves or take them back to their leaders for collective decision-making! After all, those attending the wedding are mostly representatives of various forces, with few acting as absolute leaders—these diplomatic figures usually hold significant status within their own forces but lack real power and are constrained by others, making it difficult for them to make independent decisions. However, a few who appeared to be bachelors clearly had it straight in mind; they simply reached out and ate the fruits before them. Such beings, who gain powerful talents and strength directly, don’t need other benefits—they can take them back to their forces for discussion. But given their status within their forces, it’s likely they’ll have little say once they return. It’s better to consume them immediately and become quasi-legendary warriors, so that no one else can take away this advantage. If necessary, they can simply pass it on next time there’s another opportunity. After all, even as legendary warriors, they can stand firm on the continent on their own, and no one can do anything to them. To retain such a legendary warrior, there might not even be punishment—instead, they might be offered generous concessions! Seeing several others in similar situations eat these precious divine fruits without hesitation, the representatives of the other forces understood the situation and stopped hesitating, following suit.
As for whether anyone will hold a grudge later, that can wait until I become a legendary powerhouse! While the mortals and demigod guests present took the Fruit of Laws to undergo transformation, the true god powerhouses continued to feast, waiting for the results. Three short days were merely an instant in the long lives of the true gods, and each of them possessed such patience. Thanks to their greater strength, the demigod powerhouses didn’t need as much time as mortals to absorb the benefits of the Fruit of Laws—ranging from thirty to fifty minutes, at most half a day—to complete the transformation and join the true god banquet. Even the fastest among the mortal powerhouses spent a whole day and night before successfully gaining domain power. Catherine and Cornelia, the two hostesses, were also undergoing transformation. Although the duration of mastering domain power didn’t determine the extent of benefits gained, those who took longer to transform received slightly more advantages. Catherine, thanks to her reputation in business, already had the power of faith backing her. Now that she had acquired legendary power, she was on the verge of attaining divinity—though without external help, it might still take her many years to succeed! Cornelia, the lively and pure-hearted princess of the Ansel family, had a solid foundation in swordsmanship and inherited the talents of both the Ansel family and the Celtic royal lineage, allowing her to experience the transformation most profoundly. She quickly gained domain power comparable to that of an early-stage legendary sword saint. As the mortal guests present rose to legendary status one after another, the entire square was filled with joy. This could be considered a rare event in the history of the multiverse, even one capable of changing the landscape of the main world. As the god of history and knowledge, the Erudite God recorded this grand event on the spot, ensuring it would become a legend widely told across all facets of the multiverse!
