Chapter 2: Faith and Eternal Life
"My current strength is 0!"
Compared to the native creatures of the Endless Continent. The current Lin Yi was as weak as a chicken; however, this was not a big deal. He was the lord of the castle and was like a ruler and emperor. The base-assault unit was what he would rely on.
He continued to check his information on the interface.
"Energy Stones and Crystals are both 0."
"These two items are essential to the Angelic Resurrection Pool."
"How do I even obtain those?"
As soon as he finished his sentence, a reminder sounded in his mind.
《You can harvest energy stones by killing wild beasts, magical beasts; destroying enemy bases, and so on》
《Conquering enemy castles will be rewarded with huge amounts of Energy Stones》
《Killing a powerful monster will be rewarded with a Crystal …》"Understood!"
Lin Yi took a deep breath to calm himself.
“It’s basically encouraging the Castle Lord to go out and kill monsters, pillage enemy units and even encourages starting a war with other lords; it’s paving an indirect path towards hegemony!”
“As I am now, it’ll be impossible for me to survive in this world. After all, the novice protection state will only last for seven days. Seven days later … comes the beast tide!"
“If I don’t try my best to strengthen myself, I’ll die.”
Lin Yi looked at the two little angels beside him and felt much more at ease. He then looked at the other options on the menu.
《Ally Information》was empty. 《Hyperspace Trading Channel》was blank. On the other hand, the《Worldwide Chat Forum》seemed very popular.
《Worldwide Chat Forum》—
[Worldwide notification: Billions of Castle Lords from Earth. Welcome to the Boundless Continent and join the fair and just competition! Here, you will gain power, fame … and anything you’ll ever want, including eternal life!] [Boundless Continent? What the hell is this place?] [Thousands of races will contend for hegemony, beast tides will be coming! … F*ck! I don’t want to die!] [Did it not say that it was a fair and just game?] [Why is my Base Assault Unit a Slime? And why can it only reach level 3 after reaching adulthood? I’m going crazy!] [Hahaha … My Base Assault Unit is a Wyvern and will reach level 7 once it reaches adulthood. I’m really the chosen son of heaven!] [My Base Assault Unit is an Orc from the Behemoth race, and when it reaches adulthood it will reach level 9. In the end, I’ll have to say my potential is that of King rank!] [F*ck! Orcs are the kings of the land. Even Wyverns are no match for them! This luck is simply too good!] [Envy! An Orc is definitely a top-grade Base Assault Unit! I’m so envious!] [Boss … !]
…
Lin Yi looked at the two little angels beside him.
These Winged Angel Holy Spirits, the weakest kind of angels, had the potential to grow up to the Demigod level in strength after reaching adulthood.
"Fair?"
Lin Yi felt that this was very fair. After all, Base Assault Units were given out at random. The Castle Lords were in the billions, and if there existed the concept of bad luck, naturally, good luck would also exist.
At this moment, a chat attracted Lin Yi's attention.
[Brothers and sisters, do not leave the castle! The outside world is too dangerous. My unit just went out to gather wood and they were bitten to death by a few grey wolves!] [F**k! My dwarf warrior was also trampled by a troll!] [There's a monster eagle flying above my castle; it must be targeting me!] [Blood Tear reminder! Don’t go to the lake. There is a huge snake that is a dozen of metres long!] [A swarm of black spiders are squatting in front of my door … I’m a cute girl, who will save me?!] [Large man who was picking his feet upstairs has finished his appraisal! F*ck! The strength of the wild beast was too strong. My wyverns were badly beaten, and their loyalty fell sharply as a result … This is simply too embarrassing!]
Looking at the chat messages, Lin Yi became vigilant.
"This world is a dangerous place! Especially after the coming seven days, it’ll turn even more chaotic after that! Billions of Castle Lords have just made it on the Boundless Continent. What they would want now is not to amass power, but to simply survive! Only by being alive would there be a chance for the future!”
Lin Yi had a grave expression on his face.
Outside the castle, in the dark forest, the roar of a beast could be heard. Needless to say, there must be many wild beasts hiding there.
"Danger is danger … I’ll have to leave the castle! Seven days of novice safety net, I must secure this chance and strengthen myself! If I keep on hiding in the castle, once the beast tide strikes, it’ll only make things more troublesome!“
Lin Yi looked at the two little angels beside him again.
“May the darkness and evil of the world be swept away! Even if we sacrifice ourselves for you, your followers can still be reborn from the Angel Reincarnation Pond!”
Lin Yi was shocked, "Reborn?"
The two little angels nodded, “Once we start serving you, Lord, the flames of our faith will never be vanquished!”
Only after he heard the answer did he finally understand the secret behind the Angel Reincarnation Pond: Inside an angel's body was Angel's Heart, which carried the Angel's Life Wheel.
If the angel died in battle, Angel's Heart would return to the Angel's Reincarnation Pond, absorbing energy, and then letting it be reborn.
This was an innate talent of the angels. It was also a talent that no other Base Assault Unit had.
Lin Yi named the two little angels Sear and Todd respectively.
"Go, clear the darkness and evil in the forest. I am with you!"
"Praise our Lord!" Sear and Todd, the two little angels bowed enthusiastically. They then flapped their wings and flew out of the castle.
Lin Ye followed them, but he did not leave the protective barrier. After all, he was only level 0.
Not soon after they left the castle, three giant wolves, several metres in length, jumped out of dense thickets of the forest and attacked them.
"Lord said that evil will be purified by holy flame!”
In an instant, golden flames flew out from their hands. They were extremely accurate with their aim, directly hitting the bodies of the two giant wolves. Instantly, the bodies of these two giant wolves started to burn.
In just a few seconds, they were burned to ashes by the golden flames while howling miserably in pain.
《Killed a Tier-1 Grey Wolf! +5 energy》
《Killed a Tier-1 Grey Wolf! +5 energy》
The last grey wolf widened its eyes and turned to run.
"Believe in the Lord and you’ll have eternal life!"
The two little angels flapped their snow-white wings and quickly caught up to the frantically running wolf.
They pressed the several-meter-long grey wolf to the ground. They punched it in turns, and the grey wolf was soon pummeled to death.
《Killed a Tier-1 Grey Wolf! +8 energy +1 Crystal》
Lin Yi felt the addition of three new energies in his body and was a little stunned …
“Angels, are they really that strong?”
