Returning to the Old Place
The acceptance process for the Heavenly Craft Tower went even more smoothly than Roger had imagined.
He had become accustomed to encountering setbacks no matter what he did.
But this time, everything went incredibly smoothly.
Think about it carefully.
This should be the norm.
In terms of strength.
Ordinary immortals are no match for Roger.
In the absence of the gods.
He is the number one in the Twin Stars!
As for fortune...
He had originally inherited the immense fortune of the Clear Spring Sect.
In addition, there is the addition of the Star Master Authority and the potential boost from countless previous reputations.
Roger's luck is currently at an astonishing level.
If anyone dares to use methods that probe his destiny to look at him.
There is even a risk of being attacked from behind.
This is him now.
Like the midday sun.
He exuded an invincible aura.
In this case.
He can achieve whatever goals he wants naturally.
In the darkness.
Roger had a completely new realization:
Star Master Authority.
It seems that one's strength can be enhanced at a higher level.
He could feel many unseen things gathering around him.
It's like a snowball rolling downhill.
If anyone or any force tries to take advantage of him during his rise to power.
They'll only get crushed!
"Being invincible is actually quite lonely..."
Roger felt a surge of secret satisfaction.
Suddenly, I started thinking about my next plans.
If I have truly achieved the invincibility of the Twin Stars.
Does that mean he can start the "Plain Daily Life" task?
Thirty years is not a long time.
It's neither short nor short.
Once turned on.
Roger cannot act rashly.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain.
Roger had always felt that there were still many things he needed to do.
But this is accompanied by the disappearance of one problem after another.
Now he finally had a feeling.
Perhaps.
It's time to put all this aside for a while.
"When Ji Qiu returns from his training, we can entrust the affairs of Clear Spring Mountain to him."
"The Five Elements Dao Soldiers have been forged. With the upcoming Mechanism Martial Arts and the group of Martial Artist we've mentored, defending Mystra shouldn't be too difficult!"
"If all else fails, we can ask Beya for help..."
Roger's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He tentatively set a timeframe—
Once the present world is complete, return.
After Mystra entered a period of peace.
He then completely secluded himself to cultivate in seclusion!
These years of long battles have truly exhausted him.
He has always believed in the strategy of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it.
But his busy life didn't give him any chance to accumulate experience.
Although the Hidden Hero system is unique.
But if this continues...
Roger always felt that something was going wrong.
"It's settled then!"
After paving the way for immortality.
He felt much better.
After leaving the Heavenly Craft Tower.
Roger returned to the Yin-Yang Inversion Grand Formation.
He used the method to break the great formation he found on the first floor of the Heavenly Craft Tower.
He successfully located the core of the formation.
Here.
He also found the dimensional Anchor Point of the Extraterritorial World.
By modifying the Anchor Point.
He can move the Extraterritorial World to any location.
But no matter what he does.
He couldn't mend the hole in the Demon Dragon Abyss.
The spatial passage leading to the Quartz Cave has a significantly higher priority than the Demiplane or the laws of the plane.
I wonder if it was Ideas Master used for fishing.
After careful consideration.
Roger decided to integrate the Extraterritorial World into the Historical World.
Embark on a journey back to the real world alongside the Green Whisper Mountains and the Cloud Sea World.
As for the "Silent Sea" area...
Based on the agreement with the Ancient God Trinas.
Roger singled it out.
Its Anchor Point is locked below the Green Whisper Mountains.
In this way...
The Silent Sea became an enclave isolated from the real world.
It is connected to the present world through the Green Whisper Mountains.
However, the connection point is extremely narrow and hidden, making it difficult for people in the modern world to find, and those inside can never get out.
Roger set up many mechanical puppets here.
They also temporarily dispatched several more demons to be stationed there.
This is to prevent Trinas from having ulterior motives.
After all that was done.
Roger then left the Historical World—
The situation in the Green Whisper Mountains and the Cloud Sea World has stabilized.
In the Demon Dragon Abyss, there are also Heavenly Heart Puppet who do his work.
Everything is in place.
Roger himself could go wherever he wanted!
After returning to Clear Spring Mountain.
The first thing Roger did was not to meddle in the sect's internal affairs.
Instead, they went to inspect the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.
Now, the deadline of 49 days has long passed since he was supposed to forge the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.
But to his satisfaction...
The soldiers did not leave the location he had designated.
They are still diligently improving themselves.
The result of this phenomenon was that the individual strength of these 500-plus Five Elements Dao Soldiers far exceeded Roger's estimate.
Under the continuous infusion of spiritual energy and the refinement of secret techniques day and night.
Their levels are all over 90! Some of the more powerful Dao soldiers are even close to Level 100! Although it would be difficult for them to level up normally given their aptitude, and the Dao soldier class template also limits their efficiency in further improvement, how could Roger not find a way to let these excellent Dao soldiers continue to shine? According to the previous plan.
He promoted these higher-ranking Daoist soldiers to Daoist soldier leaders.
Used to command the soldiers of the same clan.
He encouraged a group of leaders.
Then, rewards were given to the soldiers based on their own needs.
The rewards included martial arts techniques and qi cultivation methods obtained from the Cloud Sea World, as well as props like flying swords that Roger didn't need.
He might have felt a little heartache doing this before.
But now Roger no longer cares about any of that—
After the Dragon Tiger Alliance unified the Cloud Sea World.
Roger acquired more supplies and cultivation techniques than he had ever imagined.
This made him sigh with emotion.
No wonder everyone wants to be a big shot!
The ease with which a person can amass resources after becoming a powerful figure is unimaginable to ordinary people.
After receiving public encouragement from Roger.
The already exceptional loyalty of the soldiers reached new heights.
Their enthusiasm for cultivation is also increasing day by day.
Some lower-ranking Daoist soldiers also showed a clear sense of shame and a willingness to improve.
Normally speaking.
The best time to practice the Five Elements Secret Techniques varies: Crimson Fire Dragon is best practiced at noon, Ironclad Corpse at night, and Pu Xian is most effective when practicing in the early morning...
They used to cultivate in the same way.
But things are different now.
There are often lower-level Dao soldiers who work very hard when everyone is cultivating together.
And he even secretly worked overtime at other times!
This action was quickly noticed by the other companions.
No one blamed him.
Everyone happily engaged in involution.
Roger certainly appreciated this!
Roll it up! Roll it up really hard!
He even added fuel to the fire.
Roger publicly announced the following:
The first Five Elements Dao Soldiers to cultivate to Level 100.
They will be granted the method of advancement for free! This news came as soon as it was released.
The internal competition among the Daoist soldiers became even more frantic!
In a short time.
The spiritual energy around the dojo has been almost completely drained by these dojo soldiers! Roger was certainly not just making empty promises.
He now possesses numerous methods for Corpse Liberation Ascension.
They all come from the Cloud Sea World.
According to his plan.
Any Daoist soldier who meets the requirements can be directly promoted using this method.
Although it was merely Corpse Liberation Ascension, its strength was average.
However, Daoist soldiers are not known for their individual strength.
For the Five Elements Formation
If we could send in another batch of Ascension-grade Dao soldiers.
Its overall combat effectiveness will soar.
Roger optimistically speculated—
The day when the Five Elements Dao Soldiers is perfected.
That is when I completely retreat from the limelight.
The Dao soldiers' cultivation frenzy even influenced the disciples of the Clear Spring Sect to some extent—after all, Roger's Daoist temple was not far from the Clear Spring Sect headquarters, and many disciples would come to observe the Dao soldiers' cultivation.
Thus, this fervent trend of cultivation spread.
Even so.
However, not every Dao soldier is entitled to enjoy the pleasures of involution! Roger withdrew 1/10 of the manpower and ordered them to guard the bottom of the Demon Dragon Abyss, in order to prevent a situation similar to the invasion of the New World Flesh Worm from happening again.
Certainly.
These soldiers won't be stationed there forever. Roger uses a rotation system; he'll just send a new batch next month.
And it was during these few days that the Five Elements Dao Soldiers were dispatched.
Roger also clearly felt the drawbacks brought about by the expansion of the Clear Spring Sect.
The Frog Claw Basin is now overcrowded.
If it weren't for the rules of the Clear Spring Sect—
Non-disciples of this sect are not allowed to approach a certain area.
It's likely that a massive settlement has already formed at the Clear Spring Mountain! Even so.
More than a dozen large towns have sprung up around the Frog Claw Basin.
The residents of these towns come from all corners of the Mystra Planet. After one disaster after another, everyone firmly believes that only the Star Master can lead them out of the calamity. Therefore, Clear Spring Mountain is regarded as the safest place in Mystra.
Management can easily become chaotic when there are too many people.
In the surrounding towns.
There are various disputes almost Celestial Capital.
Although no fights have broken out yet due to the intimidation of Roger and the Clear Spring Sect, if this continues, bloodshed is almost inevitable.
Roger was also helpless about this.
He cannot meet everyone's needs.
The Martial Artist under his command are highly skilled, but they are not good at management.
Unfortunately, under the existing power structure, those who are good at management are not qualified to give full play to their strengths—this is an era that values individual Martial Force, and few people are willing to listen to the opinions of those who are weaker than themselves.
Also.
This institutional deficiency is also related to the near-total overthrow of Mystra's civilization.
In short, Roger was faced with a mess.
Unless he is willing to expend a lot of effort.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to rebuild a complete and perfect civilization system.
Roger knows his own family best.
He is quite talented when it comes to adventure.
But he knew absolutely nothing about governing his territory.
In the past, he always dealt with these problems by passing the buck.
That is, the problem was handed over to Ji Qiu and the other elders.
Looking at it now...
Ji Qiu and his group probably also resorted to passing the buck to solve the problem.
This is why Clear Spring Mountain can indeed provide safety and protection.
It can also feed most people.
However, it cannot meet the other needs of a normal society.
This place is more like a post-apocalyptic shelter.
People are forced to stay here for their own safety.
However, they also find it difficult to realize their value.
And this problem needs to be solved.
Roger's first reaction was to seek the help of the devils—the devils have always been the most brilliant managers, and their history and culture contain countless systems and methods for managing the general public.
For this reason, Roger specifically recalled Hades from Quinan.
The latter, however, confidently asserted that it was not a problem.
He offered Roger several exploitation schemes to choose from.
Roger chose a set that looked pretty good.
However, quite a few errors still occurred during the execution process.
Humans and demons are not the same.
Many things that the devil can easily accept are unacceptable to humans.
Enforcing the law will only create greater hidden dangers.
After several setbacks.
Roger had no choice but to temporarily abandon his study of the devil's social system.
It just so happens at this time.
The Star Master Authority sensed it.
The Radiant City of the North has finally been perfectly integrated into the modern world.
Roger recalled what he had seen and heard at the Paramount Manor.
I realized that Alan was a very good manager.
Perhaps I could ask him for advice.
And.
He still has things to do up north!
So he immediately headed north.
Cross the sea.
When he arrived at the Northern Continent, he was shocked by the changes before his eyes—since the incident of the Blood of Myriad Filth, the Northern Continent was almost a barren wasteland, with no place where life existed.
But things are different now.
Roger saw vast, lush forests.
He saw clear rivers and towering snow-capped mountains.
Even in the desert.
It also hides glimmers of life! "This is the soil of the Radiant City..."
"Alan replaced the present world with it!"
Roger was energized.
This means Alan has completely taken control of the Great Secret Realm! My last visit to Alan failed.
This is because the Radiant City is still engaged in a fierce battle with the Abyss.
And this time...
The two sides have clearly ceased hostilities.
Roger could have just gone in.
But considering this is Alan's territory.
He then showed it full respect.
He was simply calling Alan's name from the edge of what was once Great Secret Realm.
Not long after.
The paladin lord's weary yet resolute face appeared before Roger.
"You've arrived just as the cross-strait conflict ended..."
"You're really well-informed!"
Alan had that unique smile on his face.
Roger noticed.
Alan was still wearing his armor.
There was blood on the right side below the rib.
"I suspect it's related to the internal strife in the Abyss?"
Roger asked with a smile as well.
The excessive proximity of the Radiant City and the Abyss is the fundamental reason why this Great Secret Realm has been unable to fully integrate into the real world for so long.
Even when Roger Star Ascension, he helped to kill a wave of demons.
But other demons quickly joined in.
If Alan cannot cleanse all the demons within his territory.
Therefore, integrating into the Great Secret Realm is just a pipe dream.
The Radiant City has now become a part of the present world.
This means that all the demons have been eliminated.
Excluding the possibility that Alan suddenly displayed extraordinary prowess.
What remains is the abyss itself losing its composure.
Combined with the information Roger obtained from Ji Qiu.
The battle between the Demon Flame Angel and the Blue Blood King may be the root of all this.
"That's true."
Alan smiled helplessly, "If they hadn't retreated on their own initiative, it would have been too difficult to eliminate them."
"Come on, I'll take you to see the Radiant City..."
Roger waved his hand:
"Wait a moment."
"I did come here today to ask you for a very important favor, but before that, I have to do something even more important."
Alan looked at Roger with some curiosity:
Do you need me to accompany you?
"No need."
Roger smiled and waved.
After parting ways with Alan.
He crossed the prosperous Radiant City.
We passed the Gem City Ruins.
We crossed the former Boundary River and the still-standing outline of the Paramount Manor.
Final.
He flew over the lakes in the southern part of the Great Wetland.
Near what used to be Yellowstone Island.
Roger spent a lot of effort to find the entrance to the Underground City.
Returning to familiar places.
Roger was somewhat excited.
He quickly walked deeper into the Underground City.
Hint: You have discovered the ruins (branch) of the Clear Spring Sect.
"You've discovered the Construct A-Ba (asleep)."
