Chapter 658 - 655: Major General
Prince Gaton has fallen.
Suddenly, from the headless corpse of Prince Gaton, a blue shadow burst forth, vaguely showing the ethereal visage of Prince Gaton.
A thought sensation fluctuation emerged, directly transforming into a voice that echoed in Bai Pu’s mind.
"You can’t kill me, inferior native! I am the prince of the Sea God Hall, protected by the great Divine Power of Musulu. I will reconstruct my body and then come back for you!"
Bai Pu instinctively thrust a spear, but the tip only cut through the air.
Prince Gaton sneered as he watched Bai Pu’s futile attack. His soul suddenly ascended, soaring towards the high heavens.
However, the next second, a scream rang out.
In the sky, a transparent barrier appeared out of nowhere, intercepting the ethereal soul of Prince Gaton!
This barrier was intangible and shapeless, only exerting force when Prince Gaton’s soul attempted to break free.
The blue light surging around Prince Gaton produced ripples on the barrier, enabling Bai Pu to discern its position.
Then, in a shimmer, the blue light protecting Prince Gaton’s soul shattered into countless fragments and vanished.
"No!"
Prince Gaton exclaimed in terror, "Fighting Saint Dragon King—"
The voice abruptly ceased.
Without the protection of the blue light, Prince Gaton’s soul quickly disintegrated, dispersing like the wind.
Bai Pu received a notification.
[You have killed an Otherworld Traveler and earned 28,002 Honor Points.]
[The opponent’s Wuya’s Will War Rank: Silver Lieutenant General.]
[Based on your rank: Golden Colonel, you received a special item: Key of the Otherworld Traveler.]
An entirely dark gold, exceptionally luxurious key quietly hovered in the air.
Bai Pu reached out to grasp it.
[With the Key of the Otherworld Traveler, you may choose one of the opponent’s residual equipment, Spiritual Points, or Storage Space to draw from.]
[If you choose equipment, you will receive one piece of equipment the opponent was wearing.]
[If you choose Spiritual Points, you will receive 50% of the opponent’s Spiritual Points account balance (converted to Gaia’s Will universal Spiritual Points).]
[If you choose Storage Space, you will receive five random items from the opponent’s Storage Space.]
Bai Pu had encountered the Key of the Otherworld Traveler twice before.
Once from the invading Earthly Sea Tribe Otherworld Traveler, Shell Face "Boss," and once from the Tiger Shark Sea Tribe "Batali."
However, the Honor Points from defeating Batali were not high, only a few hundred points.
This may have been related to the opponent’s Spirit Realm War Rank.
Not every top-tier Awakened holds a high Spirit Realm War Rank; for example, Batali’s rank was just a Captain, evidently not his area of focus.
The dark gold key dropped this time is clearly a tier above the golden key from Shell Face Boss.
As Bai Pu pondered his choice, Gaia’s Will sent another notification.
[You may relinquish ownership of this key and offer it to Gaia’s Will. You will receive a specific relic, deemed the most suitable for you by Gaia’s Will.]
Promote to Quasi-General?
Bai Pu glanced at his Honor Points. After killing Prince Gaton, the "Otherworld Silver Lieutenant General," his Honor Points soared to 93,006 points.
And the requirement for promotion to Quasi-General is...
70,000 points.
Bai Pu directly chose to use the last Golden Medal to promote to Golden Vice Admiral.
[Promotion successful, your current rank: Golden Vice Admiral.]
[Next stage Honor Points progress: 93,006/100,000. When your Honor Points reach the next stage progress, you will receive the opportunity to advance to Major General.]
[Below are the privileges of a Golden Vice Admiral (already owned). You can preview the privileges of a Major General (preview).]
Bai Pu skimmed through; the privileges of a Golden Vice Admiral are not many, essentially an upgrade from Colonel, including obtaining higher intelligence permissions when consulting Gaia’s Will, some rare items in the Rank Honor Exchange interface, etc.
The most striking, of course, is the Vice Admiral’s "Spiritual Ability Battleship" building privilege.
The Golden Vice Admiral’s Spiritual Ability Battleship stretches 120 kilometers in length and 50 kilometers in width, with an area of 6,000 square kilometers!
That’s equivalent to the entire area of Shanghai during the Common Era, which had a population capacity of... 25 million!
Bai Pu shared this news in the squad channel.
A wave of cheer erupted.
"With such a vast area, it could accommodate over a billion people if squeezed, couldn’t it?"
"Golden Vice Admiral is truly impressive; it’s leagues above Bronze Brigadier General. A Bronze Brigadier General’s battleship can only accommodate a couple of thousand people at best."
Bai Pu remained silent; he was still pondering.
However, for the entire Earth’s population of seven billion, even a billion is still too little.
Unfortunately, according to current intelligence, there isn’t another Golden Vice Admiral on Earth.
Bai Pu’s gaze shifted to the preview privileges of a Major General.
"This..."
Bai Pu’s eyes widened suddenly.
Ah Gai, you’ve deliberately released the Major General privileges early to tempt me, haven’t you?
You win.
I will definitely become a Major General!
Major General privileges first line (preview):
[As a full-time officer under Gaia’s Will, a Major General may possess a civilized planet as their headquarters. Material requirements for refining the planetary core are as follows: ...]
The subsequent lines of privileges were equally dazzling and varied.
Bai Pu felt that general-grade officers are truly the "insiders" cultivated by Gaia’s Will.
The Major General title no longer has a "Golden" rank prefix.
Because only those with a Golden Military Rank, recognized by Gaia’s Will as its seed players, are eligible to advance to "General" grade officers!
Moreover, after achieving "Golden Vice Admiral," Bai Pu could now preview the relic reward for offering Prince Gaton’s [Key of the Otherworld Traveler] to Gaia’s Will.
It was an azure, crystal-clear bead.
[Abyssal Treasure Bead: A core orb containing powerful, pure Water Power, serving as a Source of Magical Power for the Water Attribute.]
"No wonder Ah Gai said this item suits me best. It seems to be on par with the Earth Dragon Bead, an Ancient Relic!"
Bai Pu decisively offered Prince Gaton’s [Key of the Otherworld Traveler] to Gaia’s Will, claiming the Abyssal Treasure Bead.
He had a grand ambition: to collect the top-tier Sources of Magical Power for Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and refine them.
Currently, he possessed the Earth Dragon Bead for Earth and the Abyssal Treasure Bead for Water.
He still needed the top-tier Sources of Magical Power for Wind and Fire.
Once he gathered and refined the Sources of Magical Power for all four elements, Bai Pu would bypass the lengthy accumulation phase of Mid-level Mage and Advanced Mage, directly leaping to the Elemental Super Mage—Controller level.
It’s important to note that the Controller level, purely in terms of Magic Cultivation, equates to a Lord Template.
If we also consider Bai Pu’s Fighting Qi Cultivation, achieving mastery in the four-element Demon Fighting Qi... he would surely surpass the Lord Template, becoming at least an Enhanced Lord!
