Chapter 696: Civilization Contribution List

Xiao Feng went offline to have a meal, then returned to the game, preparing to leave the Chaos Immortal Realm.

When the Chaos Tree Sapling's energy absorption cooldown ended, he said to the two women, "In a moment, act quickly—enter the passage immediately after it opens; we should return to Wind Spirit Island."

He had already explained the way to leave once before, and He Er Na and Bing Lu had both memorized what to do.

He Er Na said, "Xiao Lu goes first—no more mischief this time!" Her tone carried a hint of admonishment.

Bing Lu pouted, "I know, I've been well-behaved today……"

Over the past half day, she had indeed become much more honest, not daring to cause trouble for the two of them.

So Xiao Feng didn't give her a hard time; he immediately took out 4,000,000 divine stones, dumped them in the square outside the imperial palace, and tossed the sapling over.

Hum~

The Chaos Tree Sapling shuddered, once again releasing its energy-devouring effect, quickly forming an energy vortex that devoured all 4,000,000 divine stones.

After the devouring finished, its fifth leaf unfurled smoothly, and its fourth root grew a bit more mature.

Crack—crack~

Immediately after, the sound of shattering void rang out, and a spatial rift appeared before the three of them.

"I'm going in!" Bing Lu shouted low, moving swiftly, flashing into the spatial passage in an instant.

Such efficiency, such obedience—relieved the two behind them considerably, secretly thinking that this brat had finally become a bit more sensible.

He Er Na sent via telepathy to Xiao Feng, "I'm going in too, master." She then turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished into the rift of the spatial passage.

Both were fast; together they took less than three seconds to leave.

The rift was shrinking, but there was still plenty of time for one or two more people to pass.

Xiao Feng stepped forward quickly, grabbed the Chaos Tree Sapling in his hand, and also darted into the spatial passage.

At that moment, a faint pulse transmitted from the Chaos Tree Sapling surged into his sea of mind!

"Let me……become……stronger……"

This pulse formed a fragmented message, transmitted to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng vanished into the void passage, a question arising in his mind.

"Just now……was the Chaos Tree speaking to him?"

"The little sapling actually has consciousness?!"

"Become stronger……isn't that already what we do by feeding it divine stones every day?"

"Could it be saying we need to hurry into the next growth stage?"

"Strange……"

"Why did the Chaos Tree show no reaction before, only to pull this stunt when he was about to leave the Chaos Immortal Realm?"

"Could it be……after staying here for two days, the Chaos Tree awakened some kind of 'memory'?"

"It wants to become stronger—could it, once strengthened, reopen the passage and return to the sealed Chaos Immortal Realm?"

At this moment, Xiao Feng fell into contemplation.

Swish!

Zhou

The surroundings changed.

He emerged from the spatial passage, the surroundings somewhat dim.

Looking closely, he found himself in a forest, dense trees blocking the light, making visibility poor.

"He Er Na, Bing Lu, where are you?" Xiao Feng looked around and shouted.

Opening the map, the coordinates were indeed on Wind Spirit Island, only the position differed slightly from where they had left, off by about five kilometers.

"Master, I'm over here."

He Er Na's voice came from afar.

The destination of this spatial passage is offset, just as when entering—it will appear in different places.

He Er Na was a few kilometers away from him, which wasn't a problem.

Bing Lu was far farther away—her voice couldn't even be heard.

But Xiao Feng didn't worry about her; she had the Azure Dragon Diagram, making her safe running wild in Yuan Su Shen Yu, and on Wind Spirit Island she needed no worry at all.

He Er Na flew over and met up with Xiao Feng.

Discovering they had returned to Wind Spirit Island and having brought back the inheritance obtained from the Primeval Relics, her mood was excellent, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Feng, slightly puzzled by the message he had received upon leaving, took out the Chaos Tree Sapling and tried to communicate with it using his will.

But there was no response at all.

Obviously, the Chaos Tree in sapling form still couldn't communicate with him.

However, judging from just now, perhaps once it grows it will become different!

"Tomorrow I'll try using the Chaos Tree to see if we can open a passage to the Chaos Immortal Realm; if so, I'll bring Old Zhang and the gang in for some fun!" Xiao Feng thought to himself.

"Master, let's head to Return Wind Rest Town." He Er Na said.

"Yeah, let's go." Xiao Feng nodded, and they left the forest together.

"Old Xiao, you're back!"

At that moment, a friend notification suddenly popped up.

It was a message from Li Li.

"Old Li, how's it going—are the dungeon team members all assembled?" Xiao Feng asked while flying.

We had agreed to run a dungeon, but he rushed to Wind Spirit Island, then entered the Chaos Immortal Realm to undertake the Primeval Inheritance, delaying three or four days straight.

Li Li replied, "Everything's ready, just waiting for you to return and kick off the raid. Old Xiao, you're amazing—haven't seen you in a while, and you've already come up with a Heavenly Path Inheritance? Just from the name, the Damaged Heavenly Path Whisker ranked first on the Sacred Objects List must be yours, right?"

"Uh……how do you know that?" Xiao Feng blinked, taken aback.

He hadn't told anyone about this! How did they find out so fast?

Could it be a system announcement?

He quickly opened the information interface to take a look.

As it turned out, there was no relevant information at all… because when he went offline to eat, all system messages had been cleared.

However, the history log is still there!

Opening the history log, Xiao Feng burst into laughter and tears.

Eighteen hours ago in game time, there indeed had been several announcements, but at that time he was inside the Primeval Relics' Chaos Immortal Realm, so the messages weren't broadcast immediately; instead, they were recorded as a news feed.

Back then he was just happy and didn't notice this; only now did he see it.

【Divine Realm Announcement: Inheriting the absolute learning of the sages, opening peace for myriad generations! Blue Star No. 8 Camp player "Xiao Feng" endured countless hardships, in the Primeval Relics' Chaos Immortal Realm, obtained the Venerable-level Inheritance of the Ninefold Heavenly Dao; truly the mandate of heaven!】

【Divine Realm Announcement……】

【Divine Realm Announcement……】

【War Zone Announcement: Player "Xiao Feng" obtained the Venerable-level Inheritance of the Ninefold Heavenly Dao, gaining 100 Civilization Index points for this war zone! Reward: 1 portion of 1,000,000 cultivation Spirit Cultivation Pill!】

【War Zone Announcement: The Civilization Index Contribution Ranking for this zone is now open; individuals who obtain inheritances and groups that occupy Myriad Heavens regions and planes can gain Civilization Index and contributions; each year (season), the top ten players will receive generous rewards!】

The first Divine Realm Announcement is purely a broadcast notice, with no substantive reward.

However, being able to appear on the Divine Realm Announcement itself is very difficult; so far, only things like the first-kill achievement and being the first to break through level 300, among a few other cases, will trigger it.

Such an opportunity to gain fame is not something everyone can obtain.

The latter two announcements, however, target the interior of the Blue Star No. 8 War Zone; because Xiao Feng accepted the inheritance, raising the Civilization Index by 100 points all at once, the system automatically launched a new ranking feature.

Opening the Civilization Contribution Ranking, one sees that only Xiao Feng alone is on the list, with the number '100 contributions' attached after his name.

Below that, there is also an explanation about contribution points.

The source of the Civilization Index Contribution Ranking can only be obtained by acquiring inheritances and occupying planes.

Both methods have tables explaining how many contribution points can be earned.

【Inheritance-type Contribution Points】

【Cosmic-level: 200 contributions】

【Venerable-level: 100 contributions】

【Ancestral God-level: 50 contributions】

【God King/Immortal-level: 20 contributions】

【Supreme God-level: 5 contributions】

【Ordinary-level: 1 contribution】

【War Occupation Contribution Points】（By participating in war and killing/resurrecting more than 50 targets, one can gain contribution points after occupation; outstanding performers can receive 2-3 times the points, while a failed occupation yields none. ）

Greater Mi Jing (Myriad Heavens Battlefield): 1000 contributions

Lesser Mi Jing (Myriad Heavens Battlefield): 100 contributions

Region-level Area (Myriad Heavens Battlefield): 100 contributions

Territory-level Area (Myriad Heavens Battlefield): 20 contributions

Mountain River-level Area (Myriad Heavens Battlefield): 5 contributions

Divine Nation-level Area: 20 contributions

Greater World: 100 contributions

Lesser World: 20 contributions
