Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1127 - 642: Hidden Gains_2

At first Gaven thought this was a clever use of Shadow Energy, utilizing the ability to fold and travel quickly through the Shadow Plane. Now it seems that he was misguided, as this is not a result of energy attributes, but a characteristic of Divine Power. Even if it were replaced with other types such as Strategy Divine Power, Just Divine Power, or even Conspiracy Divine Power and Slaughter Divine Power, this ability would still emerge.

Strictly speaking, Gaven has already been stealing the power of the True Gods for his own use as a mortal. Now that Lady Strategy is proactively taking on tasks, shielding him from the divine lightning until the Divine Position of Lord of the Dead falls into the responsible hands of Kranwo, this bolt of divine lightning is temporarily safe.

As Gaven’s understanding of True Gods deepens, another unique value of the Milestone of Destiny is being unearthed—increasing the favorability of those he has influenced towards himself. The higher the quality of the Milestone of Destiny, the greater the range and shift in favorability.

Previously, it was thought to only be beneficial for the expansion of his territory, but now it seems there are further-reaching implications.

As mentioned earlier, faith often starts from understanding and favorability. If these two basic foundations don’t exist, how can one speak of faith? Once both are in place, even if one has not transformed into a devout believer, they have stepped into the ranks of general believers.

In other words, when Gaven chooses Ascension, those affected by the Milestone of Destiny are all his potential believers.

In conclusion, the uniqueness of the Milestone of Destiny is far greater than imagined, some things need to be continuously excavated as Gaven grows.

After discussing the gains in terms of the soul, let’s talk about the material gains.

One of them is the equipment scavenged from the Monster Army. Over eighty percent are in tatters, but there is also the twenty percent exception. Judging from the quality and craftsmanship of these equipments, they are certainly not from the hands of monsters, but from Humans or Dwarves.

These equipments could have been plundered from the Human Merchant Caravan by those monsters, or they could be support provided by Dark Castle in exchange for their loyalty, including a portion that belongs to Magic Equipment. Although most are of the lowest grade, and the proportion is not too high, the dazzling array of armor and weapons collected, exceeding one hundred thousand pieces, far surpasses the number of monsters killed by the Conqueror Army. This is because the defeated soldiers among the monsters often discard any armor and weapons that hinder their flight during their flee.

These one hundred thousand pieces of equipment directly improve the overall arms of the Conqueror Army by a notch. By selecting the usable ones and repairing them with Mending or Complete Repair Technique before rearming, and those unusable ones are not wasted either. If possible, remodel them on site, if not, melt them down for materials extraction, and start smelting anew. Moreover, a good amount of new biological materials can be extracted from the bodies of these monsters.

Another advantage of the current large scale of the Conqueror Army is that it encompasses various professions in society. Even if they are not the best, they are at least ready to use—as previously mentioned, the top craftsmen would never emerge among commoners, but among powerful Spellcasters. Only they can forge powerful Magic Equipment.

This is an unbreakable rule. Even if they were ordinary people at first, in the process of becoming the top craftsmen, they have already become extraordinary. This is determined by the growth system of Felen.

Another precious material treasure here is the Bridge of Faith.

From the beginning, Gaven never intended to design it as a normal bridge, but as a fortress spanning the Wild Border River.

It adopts an eight-lane design, according to the standards of Tower War Chariots—eight lanes meaning each lane is over four meters wide (Tower War Chariots being three meters two in width, and six and a half meters long), that is to say, the Bridge of Faith is thirty-two meters in width. Just this one point makes it the first in all of Felen. Besides free faith, who would build such a wide bridge?

But the problem is, oftentimes, faith is even more valuable and harder to gather.

In a short time, not to mention four lanes, two lanes are enough for the merchants and travelers to use. But with foresight, Gaven decided to keep the four lanes in the middle. The other four lanes have been transformed into foundations for the construction of Human living quarters.

Of course, Gaven and his people can’t build a lot of stone houses and towers on the Bridge of Faith—the Bridge of Faith, even if shaped by the faith of the God of Travel and Exploration, Mount Dakor, is not indestructible and must consider weight-bearing issues.

The buildings on the Bridge of Faith are all wooden structures, made of a softer and lighter type of wood. It’s not just about building wooden houses or towers on it—ignoring the new problems with the foundation, the efficiency is just too low.

After brainstorms, everyone unanimously believes that following the example of Tower War Chariots and creating specialized two-story carriage houses according to the size of the lanes of the Bridge of Faith is the best plan. They can’t be too tall, double floors at five meters just right, as any higher would be problematic under strong winds or waves on the unprotected bridge surface.

These two-story carriage houses, once constructed at the site of materials production, are dragged over, then consecutively fixed on the Bridge of Faith. A bridge-top carriage city is thus formed, with just this part, housing two to three thousand people is not an issue.
