"Enter Global Lords," he murmured softly, his voice barely breaking the tranquil silence of the room.
As if in response to his command, the surroundings around him seemed to dissolve into darkness. The once familiar sight of the living room blurred and vanished, replaced by a void of infinite blackness.
[Ding! Detected that you are entering Global Lords for the first time]
[You are now starting the Novice Trial along with 32,521,583 other people]
Qin Tian opened his eyes to a beautiful field. Green grass rolled as far as he could see, with tall trees scattered here and there. The air was fresh and clean, and a gentle breeze blew through the leaves.
[The Novice Trial will last for a week]
[Every day, you will face a siege from beasts and receive corresponding rewards when you defeat them. The strength of the beasts will depend on the quality of the Lord's Crystal and your talent level]
[After the Novice Trial has ended, a ranking will be posted where the Top 10 will receive rewards based on their performance]
[Good luck, Lords]
Qin Tian stood deep in thought. He hoped to gain great rewards from this Novice Trial. Though external help, like elixirs and resources, was allowed, he knew true success would rely on his own abilities and the opportunities presented by his talent and race.
[Ding! Drawing three initial races for the Lord to pick…]
[You have the following options for your initial race]
[1. Behemoth Race]
[2. Human Race]
[3. Spirit Race]
Qin Tian scanned the options with curiosity. The Behemoth Race caught his attention first. This race is one of the strongest races that the Lord could draw, and it is not inferior to the Angel Race and the Devil Race. Known as the Kings of the Land, Behemoths boasted unparalleled strength and resilience, making them a formidable choice for any Lord. Their legendary prowess in physical combat made them a dream choice for many.
The other one was the Spirit Race, which is said to be the race most suited for magic cultivation. The Spirit Race has the highest affinity for magic out of all existing known races, and most of the strongest Lords that took the path of magic chose this race.
As for the other race, the Human Race. In the Global Lords, even though humans are the one playing, nobody chose their own race, the Human Race. Only a small percentage chose this race.
This is due to the fact that the Human Race is unsuitable for practice and doesn't have any innate advantage compared to any race. It is said that when given the choice between Humans and Goblins, others are most likely to pick Goblins because at least it has a racial advantage of being adept in technology, unlike Humans that don't have anything. It can be said that the Human Race is just a waste of resources. Lords will only pick the Human Race if they have a talent related to it.
But Qin Tian has heard of a Lord that has chosen the Human Race as his race, and defied the title of "The Most Useless Race" using his effort and strength. Using humans, he built the most glorious Martial God Empire, and solidified his position as one of the strongest humans, and was given the title of "Martial God."
Though, there was only this single case in history and nobody has replicated this miracle again using the Human Race. And the Martial God was just a legend hundreds of years ago, and most of the people alive weren't able to witness how he established the Martial God Empire using the most useless race.
[Ding! Detected that you have the talent Immortal [Taboo], the system automatically chooses the Human Race as your initial race]
[Your initial race is: Human Race]
[Ding! Due to the talent Immortal [Taboo], your race evolves to: Primordial Human Race]
"What?!" Qin Tian's eyes widened in astonishment as the system's notifications registered. "Dayum. The system actually automatically chose Human Race as my initial race due to my talent, and also evolved it at the same time?!"
To be honest, Qin Tian was also skeptical on what race to choose, he even considered choosing the Spirit Race and wanted to see what it would become after his talent transformed it.
[Primordial Human Race (Taboo)]
[Description: Born from the primordial energy of the universe, Primordial Humans are among the strongest races in existence, ideal for the path of immortality.]
[Attribute 1: Attributes 1000%+ compared to others]
[Attribute 2: Natural geniuses in handling matters related to Immortality]
[Attribute 3: They are cultivating the path of immortality. Besides from using experience to level up, they can also use Qi to raise their levels]
[Attribute 4: They are the Original Immortal's most loyal follower]
[Attribute 5: They don't need to consume food or water. They use Qi from their surroundings to satisfy their appetite]
[Attribute 6: (Locked)]
[Attribute 7: (Locked)]
[Attribute 8: (Locked)]
The description of the Primordial Human Race left Qin Tian speechless. The attributes listed were simply a miracle, transforming what was typically the most undervalued race into an entity of immense power and potential. The evolution of his race into Primordial Human not only dispelled his initial skepticism but also filled him with a sense of anticipation and excitement.
"Primordial Human Race...," Qin Tian murmured, feeling the weight of this transformation settle within him. "So, this is the power of my Immortal [Taboo] talent."
[Ding! Initial Race draw is done]
[Generating territory…]
[You have received the following items:]
[Heart of the Territory (Level 1) x1]
[Lord's Cabin (Common) x1]
[Well (Common) x1]
[Farmland (Common) x1]
[Barracks (Common) x1]
[Warehouse (Common) x1]
[Ding! Your talent Immortal [Taboo] is transforming these items]
[You have received the following items:]
[Immortal Heart (Level 1) x1]
[Ziwei Emperor Palace (Divine) x1]
[Spirit Well (Mythical) x1]
[Spirit Farm (Mythical) x1]
[Heavenly Soldier Camp (Mythical) x1]
[Immortal Warehouse (Mythical) x1]
Qin Tian's mouth was agape.
"To think that my talent will transform those ordinary items into Mythical quality, and even Divine items. Even some lords who have developed for hundreds of years have less than ten Mythical quality items, yet I'm starting with four of them."
To be honest, Qin Tian wasn't really sure if Divine was the next level after Mythical, or if there were other levels before it since there was basically no information about the next levels after Mythical, but one thing he was sure of was Divine was stronger than Mythical, and Taboo is stronger than Divine.
[Immortal Heart (Level 1)]
[Description: A Lord's Crystal evolved by Immortal characteristics]
[Status: Indestructible (only able to get debuffs or be suppressed, but cannot be destroyed)]
[Attribute 1: Territory Qi Gathering Speed 500%+]
[Attribute 2: Territory Defenses 500%+]
[Attribute 3: Loyalty of the territory inhabits are automatically set to 95]
[Attribute 4 (Active): Can turn into an Immortal Spirit for 10 minutes, 50 levels stronger than the Lord. Cooldown of 3 months]
Qin Tian was too numb to be even shocked from how many surprises his Taboo talent got for him.
"This thing is too good! Other Lord's Crystal has a durability, meaning that they could be destroyed, and the Lord's can be basically kicked out. However, mine's indestructible, which means that I will never be kicked out of Global Lords ever."
"Attribute 3 is overpowered. Imagine having a spy of the enemy join your territory, and they immediately become loyal to you. It's basically like sending free money."
"But Attribute 4 is the most overpowered out of them all. Imagine that I am level 50, then the Immortal Spirit is 50 levels higher than me, which means that it basically becomes a God. I am basically invincible once I step into the Novice Area…"
Qin Tian decided to put the Immortal Heart in the center of the plains he landed on. With a loud bang, a huge white circular slab with golden inscriptions of a Qilin stretching for a mile appeared in the middle of the plains. Four white pillars that seemed to penetrate the heaven also appeared and levitated in the four directions respectively to surround the circular slab.
The northern pillar had the inscriptions of a Black Tortoise, the eastern pillar had the inscriptions of an Azure Dragon, a white tiger in the western pillar, and lastly, a Vermillion Bird in the southern pillar.
The pillars and the circular slab slowly floated tens of meters above the ground. A huge golden crystal descended from the heavens and appeared at the circular slab.
"This must be the Immortal Heart…" Qin Tian thought silently.
The air around him seemed to shimmer as if infused with divine light. Qin Tian could feel the incredible power radiating from the Immortal Heart. He took a deep breath, steadying himself as he prepared to check the other items.
[Ziwei Emperor Palace (Divine)]
[Description: The Ziwei Emperor Palace is a magnificent celestial fortress that embodies the ultimate in divine authority and cosmic elegance. It serves as the sanctified seat of the Emperor of Gods, radiating an aura of supreme power and celestial harmony]
[Status: Indescructible]
[Attribute 1: Allows the whole territory to fly]
[Attribute 2: Shields the territory from people prying into the secrets of heaven]
[Attribute 3: Territory Luck 500%+]
[Attribute 4: Spirit Coins Earned 300%+]
[Attribute 5 (Active): Activates the power of stars to give the Lord a temporary boost in power. The increase of power depends on the residents of the territory. Cooldown of 3 years]
[Attribute 6 (Active): Uses the power of stars to teleport the whole territory to wherever the user desires and is not bound to any restrictions. Cooldown of 1 year]
[Attribute 7: You are guided by the stars. Sometimes, you will foresee what will happen in the future]
"The whole territory can fly...," Qin Tian whispered, his voice tinged with disbelief. The first attribute alone was staggering. The ability to lift his entire domain into the sky meant unparalleled strategic advantage. "I basically could evade ground assaults, relocate swiftly in the face of threats, and position myself advantageously for both offense and defense."
With Ziwei Emperor Palace, he could basically go high-key in the following events. Since no one can predict or probe his information, he was basically hidden in secrets.
Territory luck is also important. His people could basically become the Sons or Daughters of Luck as long as they have good luck, and it will be amplified by the Ziwei Emperor Palace. What's more is the Spirit Coins boost. Spirit Coins is the currency of Global Lords. This boost paired with the luck boost will basically improve his territory's economy quickly.
But the second to the last attribute was the most important of them all, he could teleport basically anywhere and not be bound by any restrictions. This means that when he gets forced out of the Novice Domain, he can basically go back and bully the new lords.
Without giving it a second thought, Qin Tian decided to place the Ziwei Emperor Palace near the Immortal Heart.
