Shi Feng could not help but tremble when he looked at the golden stone tablet inside his bag.
God's Domain was very large, and there were many kingdoms and empires within it. Naturally, these realms would go through growth and decline.
Countless kingdoms and empires had disappeared into the long river of history by now.
Although they had already been forgotten by people, some of these kingdoms and empires had left behind shocking treasures that were unknown to others.
In God's Domain, these shocking treasures were called Heirlooms.
Heirlooms could be categorized into four different ranks.
The first would be Kingdom Heirlooms. Just as its name implied, it was a treasure once owned by a kingdom of God's Domain. First-rate Guilds would fight tooth and nail for just one Kingdom Heirloom. In the past, there was even a Super Guild that had offered up a city with a population of over a million players in exchange for a Kingdom Heirloom. From this, one could just imagine the value of a Kingdom Heirloom.
Back then, although Shadow had become a second-rate Guild and controlled ten city states, it did not even possess the qualifications to compete over a Kingdom Heirloom.
Meanwhile, one rank above Kingdom Heirlooms were Imperial Heirlooms.
An Imperial Heirloom was an Heirloom left behind by a fallen empire of God's Domain. Normally, the wealth of an empire was at least three to five times greater than that of a kingdom. The value of an Imperial Heirloom, naturally, was proportional.
In the past, a small unrated Guild called Thunder Family had taken less than a year to develop into a first-rate Guild. Back then, Thunder Family had shocked the entire God's Domain.
In terms of experts or financial power, Thunder Family had possessed neither. Yet, it had still managed to develop into a first-rate Guild in such a short amount of time. How could such a feat not shock others? Only after many different parties investigated the Guild did they find out the secret behind Thunder Family's success.
It turned out that Thunder Family had accidentally encountered an item called an Imperial Heirloom, and the Guild had secretly developed itself at a rapid pace through this Imperial Heirloom. Thus, Thunder Family had managed to become one of the overlords of God's Domain in less than just a year.
From then on, everyone started searching for Heirlooms out in the fields. Many wars were waged in God's Domain because of Heirlooms, and many Guilds were completely annihilated because of Heirlooms...
In addition to Imperial Heirlooms, there were Continental Heirlooms, which were one rank higher, as well as World Heirlooms, which were the highest-ranking Heirlooms in God's Domain. However, the last two Heirlooms were only mentioned in the libraries of God's Domain. As far as Shi Feng knew, nobody had come upon either one in his previous life.
Now that there was an Imperial Heirloom in his bag, how could Shi Feng not be excited?
Even as a reincarnator, Shi Feng had to carefully plan, make countless preparations, encounter many miracles, and nurture a large number of experts in order to establish his very own virtual empire. Meanwhile, just a single Imperial Heirloom had allowed a small Guild to grow into a first-rate Guild in less than a year, becoming the owner of a real empire.
As for what treasures were hidden within an Imperial Heirloom, Shi Feng was completely ignorant. After things got out of hand in the past, any who obtained an Imperial Heirloom would put a tight lid on it, keeping all information about it a secret.
