Chapter 878 -879 The Cost of Repair_1
Song Jian looked at the dilapidated scene before him and was instantly stunned. This place was even more desolate than Doomsday City when he first entered it, devoid of any trace of life. He feared that in a few hundred years, this semi-dimensional plane would completely collapse.
“Such a semi-dimensional plane is actually so expensive, it’s simply…” Song Jian couldn’t help but complain, just as he was about to leave disappointed, suddenly a soccer ball-sized orb of light appeared before him.
“Master, welcome back to the Divine Country!” a childish voice came from within the orb, sounding like a five or six-year-old child speaking.
“You are…” Song Jian furrowed his brows.
“I am the spirit of this Divine Country. When Master is not here, I can take care of the Divine Country for Master!” the orb of light explained.
“Divine Country, haha, how come I see this place as nothing but ruins?” Song Jian shook his head and laughed.
“Master, this truly is the Divine Country, a place only deities can reside in!” the orb of light said, “Although Master is not yet a deity, your mark has already been imprinted onto this land of the Divine Country!”
“This is what I bought for five hundred points. You have to know that five hundred points could at least buy five hundred attribute points. If I had bought all attribute points, my power by now could possibly even easily defeat those with second-tier combat power!” Song Jian complained inwardly.
“Master, the resources of the Divine Country have been completely depleted. It will take one thousand points of divine power to repair this broken land!” the spirit spoke directly, “If there is no replenishment of divine power in the next five hundred years, then this Divine Country will fall!”
“Divine power?” Song Jian paused, a bitter and helpless smile appeared on his face. “Do you think I have the power to supply you with divine power with my current strength?”
“Master, if you cannot provide divine power, then souls will do as well. As long as Master can gather one million souls, you can just barely repair the Divine Country!” the spirit continued.
“One thousand souls are equivalent to one point of divine power?” Song Jian pondered.
“What use does this Divine Country have for me?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask. The desolate land before him had diminished any interest he had in it. If it wasn’t for the suddenly appeared spirit that made Song Jian feel somewhat intrigued, he would rather have wasted the five hundred points than show up in this space.
“The defense of the Divine Country is impregnable, and its whereabouts are impossible to trace. Only deities can discover the Divine Country, and only deities have the power to breach the Divine Country!” the spirit continued, “With Master’s current power, the Divine Country can help you escape all threats to your life. With your mind’s guidance, Master can enter and exit the Divine Country at will, avoiding disaster!”
Song Jian’s eyes lit up. This use was indeed not bad. In this game where you have only one life, being able to save your life was the greatest utility.
“What else?” Song Jian nodded slightly.
“The total area of the Divine Country is currently three hundred and twenty square kilometers. If Master has anything temporarily not in use, you can store it in the Divine Country,” the spirit continued, “The flow of time within the Divine Country can be adjusted at will. Any item, as long as it is within the Divine Country, will never decay!”
“So it’s like a larger storage bag. Not bad, not bad!” A smile appeared on Song Jian’s face as he asked, “This means I can store living things in it, right? Living beings can also be brought into the Divine Country?”
“If Master can fully repair the Divine Country, in theory, you could store living creatures within. However, in the Divine Country, these creatures will gradually be transformed into holy spirits. The only beings that can survive in the Divine Country, apart from gods, are spirits,” the spirit continued.
“I see!” Song Jian nodded, and said, “What else is there?”
“There are many functions of the Divine Country!” the spirit went on, “But most of the functions can only be utilized after the repairs are completed. I hope Master can repair the Divine Country as soon as possible!”

“A million souls!” Song Jian sighed and asked, “Do they all have to be human?”
“Of course not, Master. It’s best to hunt those powerful creatures, the stronger the creature, the more abundant its soul energy. A standard unit of soul energy is equivalent to the soul strength of a level thirty elite BOSS!” Ling explained.
Hiss~!
Song Jian took a sharp breath; the difficulty of this repair was much greater than he had imagined. A million level thirty elite BOSSes—even if he worked tirelessly—it might take several years to accomplish.
“Do I have to hunt these powerful creatures alone? It will tire me to death!” Song Jian couldn’t help but say.
“Master can build altars elsewhere and sacrifice living powerful creatures so that the Divine Country can extract their souls! Moreover, Master, you can use soul energy to create Storage Spirit Beads. These items can be worn by others who, upon killing monsters, can directly store the monsters’ souls…” Ling continued.
“If that’s the case, it’s not so difficult after all!” Song Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since he could enlist the help of others, then restoring the Divine Country was not as difficult as he had thought.
“Master, here are the instructions for constructing the altar and the methods for making the Storage Spirit Beads!” After saying this, Ling transmitted a stream of information to Song Jian, including methods for constructing the altar and making Storage Spirit Beads.
“Alright, I’ll get to repairing this place as soon as possible.” Song Jian looked around again, and the widespread devastation made him sigh slightly. Even gods have their days of defeat and death; he was merely someone who had inherited some unique professional skills—what was there to be proud of?
With a thought, Song Jian returned to his room in Manor Castle. It was indeed very convenient to enter the Divine Country; in addition to the Enemy of Death God skill, Song Jian had acquired another powerful life-saving measure.
Soon, Song Jian sent the material list for constructing the altar and making Storage Spirit Beads to Wang Qi, instructing him to collect these materials.
“By the way, Wang Qi, has anyone in the alliance encountered especially powerful monsters?” Song Jian asked.
“Especially powerful? Of course, I have a map of the BOSS distribution areas on hand. Almost all the elite and lord-level BOSSes near the City of Hope Alliance are included in it!” Wang Qi said.
“Have you discovered any BOSS that is more formidable than the lord-level?” Song Jian inquired.
Song Jian had never seen a second-tier monster, but he suspected that they must be much more formidable than the lord-level ones.
“BOSSes more formidable than the lord-level?” Wang Qi was startled. It was widely known that at this stage, not to mention lord-level, even elite-level BOSSes were not something an ordinary player could handle. Encountering one often meant summoning friends and forming teams to hunt together.
“City lord, when we encounter lord-level BOSSes, we have to hide. As for those stronger than lord-level, even if we did see them, we wouldn’t recognize them!” Wang Qi expressed his difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Song Jian was taken aback, then shook his head. Wang Qi was right; lord-level BOSSes were already the limit for players. Encountering one often required dozens or even hundreds of players to have a chance of taking it down. As for BOSSes stronger than lord-level, if ordinary players encountered one, they likely wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
“City lord, I once went to a place, but even before I entered, I felt a terrifying sensation that was so horrifying, I dared not step even half a step inside. In hindsight, if there really are BOSSes more formidable than lord-level ones, they would probably only appear there…” Wang Qi hesitated for a long time before finally saying in a low voice.
