Chapter 1024 Development - Final

｢Divine Farmer – Legendary Tradeskill

Effect: Learn how to raise exotic and powerful crops.｣

This spoke to Shuangtian since her elemental abilities coupled with her Terra Planet were perfect for this. However, since she had the option to take two, she took another one was well.

｢Array Specialist – Legendary Tradeskill

Effect: Learn how to arrange fundamental runes in special patterns to form arrays.｣

This one was also well suited due to her elemental nature and her natural affinity. Shuangtian was an inborn Feng Shui master, always able to tell the quality of any piece of land as well as sense the ley lines, so things should be no problem for her.

She smiled and learned the two.

｢Congratulations on learning skills:

Privateering: 1, 0%

Array Specialist: 1, 0%｣

Shuangtian left the Tradeskill library with a new goal and a bevy of excitement in her gut. Confined to that bed for all her life, she had never had the chance to do anything, and this would be her first time investing her effort into a vocation.

She couldn't wait to see what the future would hold for her!

.....................….

Meanwhile, Draco had achieved the God Rank in two Tradeskills, or at least was half step. With the endless energy of the Morningstar World, the power of Refinement and the abilities of Pair Dadeni as well as Mjolnir, he could easily mass produce Divine items now.

As such, Draco consulted with all the core members and began crafting unique sets for each and everyone based on their abilities and bloodlines. This also forced the fellows like Austin who had yet to Class Up to ascend, as well as Kiran and co who still had Legendary classes.

He spent the rest of the second month working on this along with the other core members who were classing up or training crazily for their vengeance.

After all, while Draco could slaughter Rank 7's using the Eyes of Caelo, so too could they! They were now Rank 5, and with the benefit of their Suppression Immunity title, they could now fight Rank 7's while only suffering one layer of suppression instead of 3!

Not to mention those who classed up were under heavy pressure since they had to start from Rank 1 with their lowered exp gain rate. Luckily for them, Draco could make items that boosted experience gain as he threw them into the depths of the seas to slaughter en masse.

By the time they reached their peer's levels, they had practically cleared the area around Cario Continent, which was for the best anyway. After all, Vita would start its brutal war from its borders and spread out to the rest of the world like an infection.

They would not teleport to other lands but slowly and methodically conquer everything from land, to sky, to sea.

Draco had once dreamed of this day when he had Vita Settlement, believing that he would have a legion of warriors equipped with minimum Epic items and some with legendary.

Draco had to say that the him back then had been too naive and humble.

As for the members of Umbra below core, they were all given customized Semi-Divine and Legendary equipment fitting their circumstances and classes. If your class was Legendary, you got Semi-Divine stuff that was upgradeable. If your class was Epic, you got Semi-Legendary stuff that could go up to Divine.

After doing this, Draco began to focus on his last task for the last months, which was to practice his other two Legendary Tradeskills, Dungeon Creation and Skill Fusion.

However, before either he or Shuangtian could get down to their business, Eva summoned them over.

.....................

Draco and Shuangtian speechlessly gazed at the huge church before them. They had already synced with Eva actively and found out about the ins and outs of this.

The duo shared a look and sighed. Divine Tradeskills were so outrageous and full of flair!

"So you're the Main Goddess and Shuangtian and I shall be the 2nd and 3rd God respectively? I mean, that's fine, but why am I last?" Draco asked with folded arms, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Eva and Shuangtian shared a look then glanced at Draco with disdain.

"To think our beloved husband would fight with his wives over such a thing… I am disappointed!" Shuangtian sighed deeply.

"To value appearance over form and to chase after petty things… how banal and unmanly!" Eva shook her head with lament.

The two of them shamelessly berated him as if he was being unreasonable, and Draco naturally flew into a rage.

"You two! You're twisting facts and bullying me!" he shouted while waving his hand angrily.

However, Eva and Shuangtian were unmoved. In fact, the two smiled wickedly and showed their canines as they glanced at Draco arrogantly and with mocking in their eyes.

"Hehe, that's right, we're bullying you." Eva stated with a hint of laughter in her voice.

"What can you do? Can you beat the two of us?" Shuangtian provoked Draco with a finger gesture.

Draco could only cough blood in anger and swallow this grievance. What he had long feared had come to pass, that these two beauties with supreme power would team up to suppress him!

If it was one, he could suppress them using his power and some tricks, but the two of them was out of the question. If it wasn't for the deterrence his power and trickery had in their hearts, why would they even talk?

They would probably capture Draco as a mount and force him under their crotches 24/7.

Everyone hated female partners who were weak because they attracted trouble, but them female partners who were strong were extremely hard to control and would often lead to bullying at home!

As such, the order was set. Draco was the 3rd highest God, Shuangtian was the second and Eva was the first. Her follower gods were all those who chose her bloodline along with Keira, even though she had Shaungtian's bloodline.

Shuangtian also had also those who chose her bloodline and even Austin, who was  a God Serpent, joined her. As for Draco, he took everyone else and simply remained quiet, his heart burning with resentment.

After this was settled, Shuangtian and Draco got back to their things, and Eva went onto regulate her own Tradeskill.

Once the details of the church and its benefits were released, players couldn't sit still anymore. Many rushed to Vita kingdom to sign up for one of the three main gods enshrined there.

Of course, this also included many new players who sided with the Power Faction, but they were furious when they realized they were denied access to Vita Kingdom.

They couldn't help but complain about the pettiness of Umbra. So what if we're on opposite sides, do you think we care? Its just business for us, who cares if its personal for you?

You should account for our feelings first and not be stuck in such revenge-fueled fantasies!

Those who tried to sign-up through prices or while outside were denied by the church, stating that they were eternal enemies of the three main gods, so they couldn't.

The faces of the players changed and they realized something serious. Umbra seemed to have well and truly blacklisted them, and judging from the way the warning was structured, they intended to keep this enmity forever.

This made many of them develop cold feet, as they did not obviously want to be on the bad side of such a powerful guild. After all, one party were NPCs and the other were players.

Even if many felt Umbra would lose, they could later grow in strength and make a comeback because they were REAL. NPCs were not and would die once killed.

However, you think the Power Faction didn't know this? When they rushed to announce the benefits for players, they did so because they knew Immortal Adventurers had a shared realm they went to when they 'logged off', so what if Umbra rallied all the players against them behind their backs?

Hence, they insidiously released benefits that could be swallowed on the spot and did so at the earliest time, not giving Umbra time to inform the masses. So the ignorant players rushed to join after seeing gold and signed contracts that bound them till death did them part.

They knew the players would regret and turn their back later when Umbra either revealed their cards or uploaded its own benefits, but who knew Umbra would do neither?

As such, more and more players joined them and the Rank 7 powerhouses felt cold.

While the dumbass players who never took anything seriously might not know, this was life and death for the Rank 7 powerhouses so their brains were working at maximum capacity!

They easily deduced that umbra did this to increase their source of experience, using their own people - the players- to amass experience that they would harvest later.

Such scheming! Such cruelty! Such heartlessness!

The Rank 7 powerhouses were filled with regret. If they knew this guild was like this, they would not have acted rashly and rather fished for benefits from the back.

Look at the War Maniac Pavilion and the Church of Light. Those two factions were extremely unbothered because they did not partake in that at all, so their relationship with Umbra was still good.

Like this, another month passed as the various parties go ready to begin the conflict.

(Author's Note: I know you fellows have limited patience, so I will begin the exciting part next chapter. However, I will do flashbacks of what happened in the last month as well as introduce some new guys.)
