[Congratulations! Rising Emperor's Domain Milestone Reached!]
[1002098/1000000 Links of Loyalty Created]
[New Perk Unlocked: Rising Emperor's Dominance]
__________
Info:
All links of loyalty under the allegiance of the Rising Emperor will now be granted permanent Daily Use Tiered buffs, and a custom interface with the Rising Emperor as its admin. [i](Expand for more info)
The caster may borrow 10% of all Base Stat Points and Mana Control efficiency from Party Members under the allegiance of the Rising Emperor. In addition, 10% of the caster's Base Stat Points and Mana Control may be temporarily distributed to any Party Members under the allegiance of the Rising Emperor.
The caster may only borrow or share exclusively; both actions cannot be performed simultaneously.
Members affected by this perk are not required to be within range of the Rising Emperor's Domain.
This additional buff stacks with the [Authority] perk, [Power Holder] perk, and [Ruler's Gaze] perk if used simultaneously.

The first thing my eyes lock onto is the fact that I've received another 10% stats and mana control to share and borrow.
This brings the total amount I control up to 30% and makes me wonder if there is even a limit to how high this will go in the future...
The average links being created in the city today aren't much higher than the surrounding villages, as most people in this world never make it past the E-Class rating.
However, this is the second strongest city in both the 8 great regions and the Dark Continent by pure volume of hunters alone. There are thousands of D and C grade hunters, along with dozens of B grade hunters that greatly skew the numbers, even with the hundreds of thousands of newly awakened.
On average, the links here are around [Lv. 60].
This half a million hunters have granted me access to a similar amount of stats as the entire island of Palmyra and surrounding villages combined.
Raising the amount of stats I have available to me up by 80x of what I had less than 3 days ago.
This is only the first of many cities I have on my tour list today, but it is one of the biggest.
My smile grows as my eyes track to another feature in this new milestone unlock.
It is a description of the daily tiered buffs now available to all loyal hunters.
__________
[Buff Timer: 1 hour]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
Level 1-100: +100 All Base Stats
Level 101-500: +250 All Base Stats
The Veridian Region, now run by Nat, the new Regional Director, adds 828,324 more links, coming in third, but the average here is lower, but not weak, coming in at [Lv. 56], slightly below the Vice Region.
My visit to the Bedrock Region is one of the most exciting events, as Regional Director Maylack sent out transmissions all over the region to many of the mining towns who stopped their work from all of the surrounding mountains and come to listen to my speech, netting another 735,260 links at an average of [Lv. 48].
The Silca and Raya Regions congregate together with Dane's help, bringing in 404,889 links at an average [Lv. 39].
The Talton and Phantom regions are not populated enough for my time and effort for a grand speech in their regions.
Once I come back to the Dark Continent, Lith and Chester work together with the large businesses and Rodrigo uses his old connects within the Association to notify and get all of Solara's surrounding towns in Sector 4 to hear my speech, bringing in another 504,072 links at an average [Lv. 61].
Lastly, I visit Valor City and hold another performance above the mountain for those within the walls, but also for all of the many surrounding trade towns that are full of merchants, forming 233,199 more links at an average [Lv. 28]. Even the elite fighters don't skew the stats up enough from the massive amount of low levels that make their living from trade and not hunting.
However, every little bit counts.
In every city I leave, more and more loyal followers from the past speeches and Crimson City are brought along, hand-picked by Bri to answer questions, and control the crowds.
The more tours I do, the more word spreads.
Every new city I fly to, there are already more and more people linked to my domain even before the speeches begin.
Word is being spread of the stat buff and availability of mythic grade skills through trade channels, local news, and personal transmission tablets.
Widespread excitement floods through the nation that once held uncertainty of why the walls were being torn down.
This too, is paired with the undertones of fear, as this message is being shared with the common knowledge that another great war is near...

Once I finish my final speech in Valor City, Bri deploys the last of her recruited workers, and I thank her, telling her to go rest back in the Crimson City.
"Your efforts have been immense. I couldn't have done this so smoothly and efficiently today without you."
She heads back to Sector 2 in a flash of light, and this leaves Maria and myself alone in Sector 1 as the crowds begin to disperse and go on with the rest of their day.
I check my Rising Emperor's Domain interface to see my links surpass 5,000,000.
However, even now, I feel more and more links forming all over the 8 Great Regions and Dark Continent as word of mouth spreads.
I managed to give large-scale talks in the major cities, but this hardly reached more than 10% of everyone in this nation. It would be physically impossible to reach everyone and give the same grand display; however, I've made my mark in the epicenter of each region.
This is clear as thousands of links continue to be created every minute all over this side of the globe.
I turn to Maria and open my [Authority] perk that I received once I hit 50,000 Links just 2 days ago, then speak up while appointing her as the first General.
"Check your status. I've granted you a new power..."
I look around, then mentally map the dead zone of Sector 2 where I had my fight with Raven last week, then speak again.
"I want you to take the full 1% of stats and mana control from every one of my links so we can go to a place far away from here and spar. This will be important data to see the difference in strength between divine energy and pure mana based stats. It will be a good chance for you to get used to your new power as well... Maybe you'll be strong enough to face a True Core even before you compress yours."
