Chapter 418

It was easy enough to conceive of using a Dragon Pearl to reinforce Void City, but actually doing it was far from easy.

A Dragon Pearl was itself a divine artifact, and a very high-grade one at that. Koradma's Dragon Pearl was exceptionally high-class even among Dragon Pearls. Using it as the core of a divine kingdom would not have been difficult, but using it as the core of a mortal city was no easy matter.

At the end of the day, this thing was simply too powerful!

As an art student, Sui Xiong had never been particularly good at mathematics or physics. He had no way of calculating just how much energy Koradma's Dragon Pearl contained, much less deriving a scientific model to construct a building suitable for housing it.

But at the very least, he knew that when he was not confident, he ought to first find an uninhabited place and run some experiments.

There was no need to go into detail about the experiments. In short, Brother Xiong spent roughly half a month leaving several rather terrifying craters throughout Ash Forest before finally producing a magic array which, together with an indoor altar, could disperse the Dragon Pearl's power and turn it into reinforcement for the surrounding buildings and protective barrier.

Once his research was complete, he began construction.

After some inspection, he chose the very center of Void City's central square as the site for the altar. This was not the center of the city itself, but it was the convergence point of the city's earth veins, energy veins, and the flow of life force. Building an altar here was, in the terms of his life before transmigration, like the towering stone monument in the capital's square upon the land of China—enough to suppress the fortune
