Born Sacred

Chapter 236: Increasing Willpower I

"Not bad."

Looking at the asteroid that had exploded in space, Noah revealed a satisfied expression.

For that attack, he had not used any active skills. The shot relied primarily on the passive effect of Remote Master along with the inherent power of the Sun Shooting Bow itself.

Even so, a single arrow had been enough to destroy an asteroid seventy kilometers in diameter. The power was already astonishing.

Moreover, this was far from the Sun Shooting Bow’s limit. After all, Noah had only drawn the bowstring back by a very small amount. Not to mention, the Sun Shooting Bow could continue growing stronger by Killing living beings and devouring their souls.

Noah was extremely eager to see what kind of power the Sun Shooting Bow would possess once it reached its true limit.

At that point, combined with his overwhelming attributes and powerful skills, there might genuinely be a possibility of shooting down a star with a single arrow.

Of course, that goal was still incredibly far away.

Although his current Strength attribute had already reached tens of millions, and would rise to several hundred million once he entered his full-power state, along with skills that possessed absurdly high multipliers, making him appear unimaginably powerful...

Compared to a true star, such strength was still insignificant.

A star was billions of times larger than an asteroid. The sheer mass it possessed was so terrifying that the amount of power required to destroy it was beyond imagination.

The power of Noah’s arrow was far too terrifying and quickly drew the attention of various countries across Blue Star.

After briefly responding to the inquiries from Qi Maoyun and the others, Noah prepared to return to the surface.

At that moment, a System notification suddenly rang out.

[Detected that Purple Profound Civilization has successfully resolved the Disaster. As you made a certain contribution to the rescue operation, you have received 12,000 Contribution Points.]

"Huh? The Disaster affecting Purple Profound Civilization has finally been resolved?"

Noah spoke in surprise, having almost forgotten about the matter entirely.

Back then, after receiving the distress signal, he had gone to Purple Profound Civilization to provide assistance. However, after dealing with the three people from Bai Feng Civilization, he had returned on his own.

The remaining task of completely resolving the Disaster had been left to Sally of Dawn Civilization.

Thinking about it carefully, nearly twenty days had already passed. When Noah left, two of the Disasters had already sensed danger and escaped. The fact that it still took this long to completely resolve the situation showed just how troublesome the chaos within Purple Profound Civilization had been.

"12,000 Contribution Points?"

Noah’s expression changed slightly.

Resolving the Disaster was considered a self-rescue operation by Purple Profound Civilization, so they would not receive any Contribution Points themselves. As a result, the rewards were mainly divided among the three civilizations that had come to provide assistance.

Although the three members of Netherbone Civilization had died, their share of the Contribution Points would not be redistributed to Blue Star Civilization or Dawn Civilization. It would still belong to Netherbone Civilization. After all, Bone Lord Karth, the Civilization Son of Netherbone Civilization, and the others had indeed killed a considerable number of Disaster monsters.

The Contribution reward for resolving a Ghost-Level Calamity generally ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 points, depending on the Disaster’s strength.

For a Ghost-Level Calamity whose strongest monsters were only Third-Order, the reward was usually around 1,000 to 3,000 Contribution Points. However, if Fourth-Order monsters appeared, the reward would be at least 5,000.

The five Disasters that invaded Purple Profound Civilization all contained Fourth-Order monsters, meaning the total Contribution reward should have been around 30,000 points.

"So my contribution accounted for forty percent?"

Noah thought for a moment.

"Sally put in more effort, so she should have received over fifty percent, while Netherbone Civilization took the remaining ten percent."

Noah had no complaints about this distribution.

When he had been clearing Disaster monsters in Purple Profound Civilization, his performance had only been decent. If he had not later revealed his true strength and frightened away two entire Disasters, he probably would not have received this forty percent share at all.

With a single rescue mission, he had earned 12,000 Contribution Points, an amount comparable to rescuing several ordinary civilizations combined.

After all, how often would a normal civilization be invaded by five Disasters at the same time?

"Unfortunately, 12,000 Contribution Points are still far from enough to unlock Civilization Traits

Noah shook his head slightly.

Although 12,000 Contribution Points sounded like a huge amount, it was still nowhere near sufficient. Unlocking the first Civilization Trait required a staggering 100,000 Contribution Points.

Still, it was not entirely useless.

After surpassing the 10,000-point threshold, additional items had become available in the System Store.

Noah was not in a hurry to head to the Civilization Convergence Zone either.

The cooldown period had already ended, meaning he could enter at any time.

However, Noah hoped that during this trip to the Civilization Convergence Zone, he would be able to push past the 200th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower and obtain the second universal reward.

Because of that, he was in no rush.

"I’m still lacking just a little strength to reach the 200th floor right now," Noah thought to himself.

The three major factors were mind, willpower, and soul.

Fortunately, Noah now possessed something capable of rapidly increasing his Willpower, allowing him to strengthen it within a short period of time.

...

Azure Mountain.

Noah and Rose walked through an elegant and refined manor, observing the architectural layout as they moved along. Following behind them was a chubby man, the person responsible for overseeing the manor’s construction.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the construction?" Rose asked with a smile. "If there’s anything you’re unhappy with, I’ll have them make changes immediately."

"It’s fine."

After taking a full look around, Noah found nothing to complain about.

Hearing this, the man looked as though he had been granted amnesty, his face instantly blooming with relief and joy.

Although this was Noah’s new residence, he would not be spending much of his time here.

After Rose and the construction supervisor left, Noah headed directly to the cultivation room and began preparing for secluded training.

"Rain Stone Tablet."

With a single thought, an ancient stone tablet over five meters tall appeared before him.

If the cultivation room had not been specially designed with an increased ceiling height, the tablet probably would not even have fit inside.

This was a Legendary-grade item.
