Seeing that Li Boyang apparently couldn't produce a matching bet, Zhang Yi prepared to leave. After all, there was a massive price difference between a Four-star Divine Domain Card and a Five-star Divine Domain Card. A good Five-star Divine Domain Card could cost tens of millions in Faith Value, while a Four-star Divine Domain Card only required about 10,000,000.
Seeing Zhang Yi about to leave, Li Boyang felt his face flush hot with embarrassment. If I really let Zhang Yi walk away, wouldn't I look like a total clown!
So, Li Boyang quickly called out to stop him, "I may not have a Five-star Divine Domain Card, but I have an extremely valuable Four-star Divine Domain Card: the [Bloodline Evolution Pool]. Its effect is to awaken the latent bloodlines within a Clan. Plus, it's a Building Card. Once used, as long as you place it in your Divine Realm and it isn't destroyed, you can use it over and over!"
Hearing Li Boyang's words, Zhang Yi paused.
During the placement test, the corpses of the several hundred goblins that had died in his Divine Realm had, with the help of his Golden Finger, transformed into a Bloodline Advancement Card. The effect of that Divine Domain Card had been incredibly powerful, directly allowing his Wood Elves, who were originally First Level, to advance to the Second and Third Levels.
Crucially, the level of a clan within a Divine Realm was determined by its Divine Being. Before a Ninth Transformation Demigod ignited their Divine Fire, the highest level a clan could reach in a Divine Realm was the Ninth Level. Furthermore, a clan's level could not exceed its Demigod's by more than three levels. In other words, if Zhang Yi didn't advance from a First Transformation Demigod to a Second Transformation Demigod soon, the clan in his Divine Realm could only remain at the Third Level for now.
Just using the Bloodline Advancement Card once brought so many benefits to my clan. If I get my hands on this Four-Star [Bloodline Evolution Pool] from Li Boyang, the effect surely won't be any worse! Besides, I have that Four-star Enhancement Card I just got, and I still haven't decided what to use it on. If I use it on this Four-Star [Bloodline Evolution Pool] and upgrade it to Five-Stars... a reusable [Bloodline Evolution Pool] should have a better, more lasting effect than my Bloodline Advancement Card!
Zhang Yi also had a few guesses as to why Li Boyang wouldn't let him leave and was so intent on initiating a Divine War. Of course, while all these thoughts flashed through his mind, only a second had passed in reality.
"This one Four-star Divine Domain Card isn't valuable enough. Add a Two-star or Three-star Divine Domain Card to the pot," Zhang Yi said.
"Fine!" Li Boyang had already put his most precious Four-star Divine Domain Card, the [Bloodline Evolution Pool], on the line without a second thought, so adding a Two-star or Three-star Divine Domain Card on top of that was a request he would naturally agree to.
"So, when and where will the Divine War be held?" Zhang Yi asked.
Hearing Zhang Yi's question, a sliver of clarity suddenly cut through Li Boyang's overheated brain. After awakening their Divine Realms, they were already considered Divine Beings. Once a Divine War was declared, there was no turning back. The honor of a Divine War was inviolable, so after one was declared, everything was carried out under the witness of the Blue Star Will. No one could interfere or stop it midway—not even a Powerful Divine Being could violate the supervision of the Blue Star Will.
The original purpose of a Divine War was to resolve conflicts between Divine Beings on Blue Star. However, allowing both sides to open their Divine Realms and use Blue Star as a battlefield would cause far too much destruction to the planet. That was why, under the joint authority of Powerful Divine Beings and the Blue Star Will, the Divine War Space was created. Once a Divine War began, the entire process would take place inside the Divine War Space. The battle would only end when one side surrendered, allowing the participants to leave.
In other words, if Li Boyang refused to surrender, Zhang Yi could theoretically dismantle his entire Divine Realm once the Divine War began!
Do I really want to take such a huge risk and start a Divine War with Zhang Yi?
But the next moment, the rush of blood returned to Li Boyang's head, which had been clear for only an instant. After a brief moment of thought, he gave a firm answer, "The time will be the first of next month. As for the battlefield, since our Clans have similar characteristics, we'll choose a plains terrain!"
"What do you say?" he challenged. "Zhang Yi, do you dare accept this Divine War?"
Just then, the homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, was called back by the crowd of spectating students. When she saw the situation in the classroom, she questioned the two of them, "Have you two thought this through? Are you sure you want to initiate a Divine War?"
Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing had been about to leave for the day when she received a tip from one of her students. Upon learning that Zhang Yi and Li Boyang wanted to initiate a Divine War, she had rushed back to the classroom. It wasn't that students had never initiated Divine Wars at the school before, but it was usually third-year students who did so. It was extremely rare for students who had just awakened their Divine Realms to start one.
The school's official stance was one of neutrality—they neither supported nor opposed it. Firstly, the school lacked the ability to truly stop students from engaging in a Divine War. Even if they temporarily prevented them, the students could simply carry on with it off-campus.
Secondly, the path of a Divine Being was defined by a single word: contention. Resources were finite; there was only so much to go around. If you didn't fight for them, those resources would naturally go to someone else. The better your results, the more attention the school paid you, and the more resources it would provide. Therefore, in this environment, there was no such thing as hiding one's true strength. Even the teachers encouraged students to achieve better results with every test, sometimes privately providing their own resources to help high-achieving students. That's why the school remained neutral. The only unlucky ones were the students who lost the Divine War.
"Alright. Since you both agree to initiate a Divine War, I will act as the supervisor for the proceedings," Guo Aiqing announced.
Since I can't stop it, I'll limit the impact of this Divine War as much as possible. This was Guo Aiqing's line of thinking, which was why she volunteered to supervise.
"I, Zhang Yi, citizen ID number 34358XXXXX, petition the Blue Star Will for supervision to initiate a Divine War!"
"I, Li Boyang, citizen ID number 34569XXXXX, petition the Blue Star Will for supervision to initiate a Divine War!"
"The battlefield will be a plains terrain, the duration will be ten hours, and each side will deploy 200 units of their Clan." At this point, a ruthless look crossed Li Boyang's face as he continued, "The Divine War will not stop until the full ten hours are up!"
"The wagers for this Divine War are: a Four-star Divine Domain Enhancement Card from one side, and a Four-star Divine Domain Card, [Bloodline Evolution Pool], plus a Two-star Skill Card, [Precise Javelin], from the other!"
After Zhang Yi and Li Boyang made their vows to initiate the Divine War, they both suddenly felt as if invisible shackles had been bound to their Divine Souls. Should either of them violate their oath or cheat, they would suffer severe punishment.
