Chapter 299: Blue Star’s Soaring Potential
The drastic surge in the strength of Blue Star’s Awakeners quickly came to Noah’s attention through various channels.
After checking, he found that Blue Star’s civilization potential had rise to 88, two points higher than before, with its development momentum accelerating even further.
An increase of only two points might not seem significant, but it was actually quite astonishing.
It a civilization’s potential exceed 90, it means than civilization had entered its peak period and fully unleashed its inherent potential.
The current Blue Star was clearly still undergoing rapid development and had yet to fully tap into its potential. It was still far from reaching its peak.
As long as the civilization potential didn’t fall below 80, Noah wouldn’t interfere unnecessarily. If it remained above 70, he wouldn’t even consider making a major move.
----
There was still a day and a half remaining before entering the Civilization Convergence Zone.
Noah wasn’t idle during this time. Instead, he reviewed the rewards provided by the Demon Subduing Alliance.
The two Epic grade items couldn’t be used at the moment, so he set them aside for later. However, this wasn’t major issue. Their Epic quality alone made them valuable enough to trade for items he needed in the future.
What remained were the World Origin and the World Shards.
To express their apology, the Demon Subduing Alliance had provided a considerable amount of both World Origin and World Shards.
Once Starfall Country’s entire coastline had been fully protected by World Shards, he still had a substantial amount remaining.
Gathering the leftover World Shards, Noah deployed them in the East Ocean.
As a result, a new continent covering approximately 10 million square kilometers emerged in the western waters of the East Ocean. This newly formed continent connected to the territory of the former Japan and would become Starfall Country’s newest territory.
In the future, when facing threats from the ocean and the east, this continent would serve as the first line of defense, while the World Shards surrounding Starfall Country’s coastline would form the second.
This arrangement would ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that Starfall Country’s core territory remained unaffected by war.
Taking everything into account, excluding the smaller neighboring countries that had already been annexed, the newly added territory alone exceeded 15 million square kilometers.
This more than doubled Starfall Country’s size, making it the largest nation on Blue Star by a considerable margin.
Blue Star’s surface area also increased by one-thirtieth.
Of course, these newly added territories were still extremely desolate. They were either saturated with demonic energy or lacked sufficient resources, making them unsuitable for habitation.
The world’s will would need some time to assimilate these regions into a true part of Blue Star.
With this wave of World Shard and World Origin deployment, Noah could clearly sense that Blue Star’s world will had grown even stronger, likely placing it among the more powerful First-Level Civilizations.
Once these World Shards were fully assimilated, the world’s will would become even stronger.
"When the world’s will reaches a certain level of strength, Blue Star’s size will expand accordingly."
Noah pondered this quietly.
The regions added at that time would become an inherent part of Blue Star from the moment they appeared, eliminating the need for the lengthy assimilation process required by deployed World Shards.
Deploying these World Shards and World Origin wasn’t without benefits for Noah, either.
Designated Reward (6th-Order) ×1
Designated Reward (5th-Order Expert) ×5
A single World Shard or unit of World Origin wasn’t enough for Noah to receive rewards. However, the accumulated amount was substantial, providing even greater benefits than when he had previously deployed a Medium Spirit Vein.
Not only did he receive designated rewards, but his Authority of Refinement also advanced by one level, reaching Level 13.
Glancing at the time, Noah headed toward the training room.
His will had long since adapted to its current level of enhancement, making this the perfect opportunity to use the Rain Stone Tablet once more.
Noah was greatly looking forward to it. After all, if his Combat Art improved significantly this time, he might be able to break through the 300th floor of the Civilization Convergence Zone in a single attempt.
Taking out the Rain Stone Tablet, Noah quickly entered the mysterious space within.
He immediately began tempering his will.
Inside the mysterious space, the rain grew heavier and heavier until it eventually became a torrential downpour.
Countless raindrops relentlessly battered his body, bringing with them a faint but constant pain.
The last time he had used the tablet, he had failed before the rain even reached this stage.
Now, after his will had been significantly strengthened, he could endure much longer. Even amid the torrential rain, he didn’t collapse immediately.
Of course, he couldn’t hold on for very long.
The pain and pressure brought by the downpour far exceeded those of the moderate rain from before.
Noah barely managed to endure for a short while before he was forcibly expelled from the mysterious space.
A powerful divine radiance burst from his eyes, almost tangible in appearance.
This was a sign that his will had reached a sufficiently advanced level, allowing it to begin exerting a subtle influence on reality itself.
If someone with a weak will were to meet Noah’s gaze, their mind would likely collapse instantly.
Although he couldn’t endure the heavy rain for very long, Noah had no doubt that the enhancement to his will this time far surpassed any previous improvement.
He immediately looked at his attribute panel.
His Combat Art had actually increased by 35%.
Wait... 35%?
Noah’s eyes widened.
He quickly turned his attention to the Rain Stone Tablet. As expected, he discovered that 20% of the divine charm surrounding the tablet had been consumed, leaving only 60% remaining.
"At this rate, the Rain Stone Tablet will be of no use to me after at most two more uses."
Noah quickly came to that conclusion.
Of course, the enhancement to his will this time had been exceptionally significant. He would need a much longer period to recover and fully adapt to it.
He probably wouldn’t be able to use the Rain Stone Tablet again for another ten days to half a month.
"As expected, the further one progresses, the harder it becomes to improve Combat Art."
Looking at his attribute panel, Noah shook his head slightly.
