"Nicely done, Keke."
Two weeks later.
All the population of the Eternal Night Continent has been relocated to the "One-Eyed Continent," in groups of ten, ten groups make a team, and ten teams make a regiment.
Monitor each other.
Only then did everyone learn the reason for their migration from the Mortal Domain.
To check if any of them had slipped through the net, everyone was given another "Golden Rain."
Almost the entire majority are looking forward to it.
In Peace.
Everyone wants to live longer. Although there have been many conflicts in the Mortal Domain over the past year, the flames of war have not spread to the interior of the Eternal Night Continent, and the interior remains Peace.
Everyone has arrived.
This includes "The Big Fish " and "Gongyang Yiyue".
Although they were Night Watcher and could not receive the Heavenly Dao's Blessing, the Mortal Domain ordered everyone to come, so they naturally followed. Chen Fan stood on the edge of the One-Eyed Continent, looking out at the unobstructed plain. The land washed by the Heavenly Dao Cannon had become extremely flat, without even a single hill Wooden Hut, ensuring there was nowhere to shelter from the rain.
"Let's begin."
He gave the order in a soft voice.
The next moment
All the Eerie Fire placed on the "One-Eyed Continent" were ignited almost simultaneously and instantly.
As before.
Rather, it is.
Each of the Eerie Fire erupted with a Golden Light Pillar Golden Light Pillar, which continued to rise higher and higher until it converged into a single Golden Light Pillar at the edge of sight, shooting straight into the Nine Heavens.
Immediately afterwards.
The Yellow Grade Golden Light Pillar suddenly exploded and shattered completely!
A Yellow Grade rain, billions of raindrops, fell evenly from the Nine Heavens upon the entire New Continent, sprinkling upon people.
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep.
It's already April.
Spring is here.
The season of All Things Revive.
After the heavy rain ended.
The Logistics Pavilion of the Mortal Domain continued to arrange for the population to return to the Eternal Night Continent via the High-Speed Rail through the Undersea Tunnel. No remnants of the "Night Awakeners" were found, indicating that their last cleanup was relatively thorough.
Time passed little by little.
Life returned to normal.
The remaining two continents, "Heaven-Slaying Continent" and "Dark Star Continent," were also reoccupied by the Mortal Domain in the following half month, entering a protection period. At the same time, a large number of Eerie Ore began to emerge within the continents.
The two continents did not send their entire populations; only Mortal Domain Member and a group of pre-recruited miners were brought to experience this Golden Rain. The following days were much quieter.
No mainland forces have caused trouble in this Sea Domain.
The "Wasteland Clan" did not send anyone else.
No one from other Third-Level Continents, nor any "Night Awakeners" forces, came here, maintaining a facade of Peace.
Until
March 7th, 2003 (Eternal Night New Calendar).
Chen Fan was busy in Nameless Mountain Cave One. Today was the anniversary of Zhou Mo's death, and he was going to visit Zhou Mo on the Rugged Island.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui reported as usual beside him.
"Over the past year, adhering to the strategic goal of 'Preventive Strikes,' the Mortal Domain has successively Eradication 14 level-two Second-Level Strange Entity Clan that were just two steps away from becoming Third-Level Races."
"As well as"
"24 level-one Strange Entity Clan Third-Level Races, just three steps away from becoming level-three races."
"Most of the first-tier Strange Entity Clan do not have their own continents; they have either conquered them through conquest or by wandering, and have collectively subjugated 15 continents." "Currently, this includes the 'Despair Continent,' 'One-Eyed Continent,' 'New Continent,' 'Huyi Continent,' and 'Eternal Night Continent.'" "The Mortal Domain possesses a total of 22 continents."
"In."
"Besides the 'Eternal Night Continent,' there are 17 other continents under protection, and a large number of Eerie Ore is underway at an accelerated pace, and it is expected that all of them will be mined out by November of this year."
"This batch of supplies from the mainland is expected to yield 580 billion Eerie Stones."
"Last year's war expenditures were substantial, while the gains were almost equal."
"Currently, excluding the 1 trillion Eerie Stones in the 'Strategic Reserve Warehouse,' the Mortal Domain has 327.9 billion Eerie Stones available for use." Chen Fan listened to Wang Kui's report while packing his things, including some paper money and incense.
He always felt that the 700 billion Eerie Stones in the Strategic Reserve Warehouse were not an integer.
Not good.
After a year of hard work, we finally rounded it up and threw in another 300 billion Eerie Stones.
One trillion.
This time it's fixed, I feel much better.
"Knew."
After hearing the report, Chen Fan went to the Teleportation Formation alone without anyone accompanying him.
A flash of White Light.
Chen Fan has appeared on the Rugged Island.
"Domain Lord."
The Mortal Domain Member guarding the area were immediately startled, straightening their posture and shouting loudly that they had not received any notification from the Domain Lord. Chen Fan nodded and walked straight to the tomb where Zhou Mo was. "Open the coffin."
"Yes!"
Soon.
The tomb was opened, and the coffin was opened.
Chen Fan looked at Zhou Mo, who lay quietly in the coffin with a pale face. Like Zhang Taiping's corpse, his body was covered with Yellow Grade light spots. This was the effect of taking "Heavenly Fortune" after death.
Heavenly Fortune does not increase the resurrection probability of "Rugged Island".
But it will cause Golden Light Spots to float on the corpse.
What are the specific effects?
Have no idea.
The Heaven-Questioning Bell did not provide an answer.
But it should be a good thing overall.
However, Zhou Mo still showed no signs of reviving. Chen Fan was not disappointed. He started by coming once a day, then once a week, until it had been three months since his last visit.
He hadn't forgotten Zhou Mo.
While it's true that "Qi Yue" has done a very good job as the new Pavilion Master of the War Pavilion, fulfilling her duties to the best of her ability.
But he still remembered Zhou Mo.
I miss Zhou Mo.
But he gradually came to terms with it. The probability of reviving someone on Rugged Island was too low. The Mortal Domain had possessed Rugged Island for a year, and so far, not a single person buried on Rugged Island had been revived.
He thought.
The true purpose of the Rugged Island may not be resurrection.
Rather, it gives people something to look forward to.
Like religion, it provides a final resting place for the dead, thereby reducing the pain of separation. Sometimes, he even suspects that "Rugged Island" is actually incapable of resurrecting the dead.
Chen Fan calmly looked at "Zhou Mo" lying in the Grave Pits, without burning any paper money. He simply placed the paper money next to the tombstone before turning and leaving, returning to Jiangbei.
Long Live, who had been waiting beside the Teleportation Formation, strode forward and followed Chen Fan, heading towards Mortal City.
"Domain Lord."
"Currently, all the Mysterious Heaven Propeller in the 'Huyi Continent' have been installed, all at level 20. Trial operation will begin this afternoon. According to the plan, Domain Lord, you need to go to the site."
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly. He had forgotten which of the Strange Entity Clan he Eradication when he obtained the Building Blueprints for the "Mysterious Heaven Propeller," but with this thing, the continent could move.
Let's first place it on the Huyi Continent and see how it goes.
The main reason for choosing Huyi Continent is that it has a smaller area, which saves money.
It's said to be mainland China.
It's actually just a fairly large island.
"Waaah."
Just then
Not far away, a Crocodile more than a meter long was running rapidly towards him, finally stopping at his feet.
"Keke."
Chen Fan laughed, squatted down, and gently stroked Keke's head. "Your brother and your parents are still asleep?"
Weiwei slept for longer than he expected.
Since consuming the "Exotic Beast Core," it has fallen into a deep sleep, and a year has passed since then.
Even more bizarrely...
Weiwei's parents were expecting a baby, but for some reason they also fell into a deep sleep. Weiwei's parents had never fallen into a deep sleep when they were expecting a baby before. The new baby that should have been born also fell into a deep sleep inside Weiwei's mother's womb.
A family of five.
Four are asleep.
Only Keke, whenever Keke was bored over the past year, would come to him. Keke couldn't speak or do anything; she just stayed by his side, lying on the ground watching him.
He didn't know what was so interesting about it.
But Keke didn't seem to find it boring.
As for the changes in Keke.
The Medicine King Valley finally came to a conclusion. "We don't know." They were unsure of any specific changes, but Keke's stamina and endurance were significantly better after waking up, even surpassing Weiwei's.
Certainly.
It doesn't have the ability to break through boundaries like Weiwei.
He didn't care.
He didn't have high expectations for this. In his heart, Keke was still a child, Mortal Domain hadn't fallen so low that he could rely on a Mortal Domain to make a significant contribution.
Didn't your brother leave behind a lot of toys?
Keke shook her head, a hint of boredom in her eyes. Although she couldn't speak, Chen Fan understood—she was tired of it all.
"Your brother has so many toys, are you tired of playing with them all?"
Chen Fan was somewhat surprised.
A long time ago.
Weiwei had a treasure vault, which he later destroyed. However, after the rise of the Mortal Domain, Weiwei resumed his habit of hoarding treasures. For example, if he saw a strangely shaped stone on an outer continent, he would bring it back.
For example, if they see a large number of beautiful Pebbles, they might bring them back.
Unconsciously.
A great deal has already been accumulated within the Nameless Mountain.
Keke shook her head again, then opened her mouth wide with pride and spat out an extremely beautiful Peach Tree.
"You mean, your brother's toys aren't fun?"
"You've collected your own toys?"
Keke nodded smugly.
"Good."
Chen Fan looked at the Peach Tree on the ground with a slightly strange expression. Where did it come from? Keke had been traveling to various continents with the "Logistics Pavilion" personnel who were cleaning up the battlefield these days.
Although I can't be of much help.
But ever since last time, Keke seems to have taken a liking to it.
He just let it go.
It seems that Keke found quite a few toys she liked during this process.
After receiving encouragement from Chen Fan.
As if she had found a kindred spirit, Keke opened her mouth wide and spat out one of her treasured toys after another: oddly shaped rocks, an extremely straight-looking wooden stick, and a large number of intact Starfish.
Chen Fan looked at the scene before him with a smile.
An aura of kindness from the older generation involuntarily emanated from him.
The Sky-Swallowing Crocodile has a "Storage Space" inside its belly, separate from its stomach, which can hold quite a lot of things.
The Long Live didn't report anything further, and stood smiling behind Chen Fan, watching the scene unfold before him.
Only.
After Incense Stick.
Chen Fan's expression gradually became blank.
He looked around at the piles of toys and the "Sky-Piercing Pillar" in front of him, finally unable to hold back, raising his hand to stop, his voice trembling slightly. "Wait, Keke, what is this Sky-Piercing Pillar?"
"I know, I know," the Missile Storage Base told me last time that you often lurked outside their base staring at the Sky-Piercing Pillar Piercer, so I had them give you a Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar as a toy."
I mean...
How could you fit a Sky-Piercing Pillar inside your stomach?
Chen Fan subconsciously rubbed his eyes and looked around.
Before it was activated, the Sky-Piercing Pillar was hundreds of meters tall!
It's true that the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile has Storage Space in its belly, but there's absolutely no way it could fit a Sky-Piercing Pillar inside. Besides, what Keke spat out far exceeded the normal capacity of the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile's belly.
Weiwei tummy can't hold that much.
Keke tilted her head and looked at Chen Fan, her pupils filled with confusion, as if she didn't know what Chen Fan was wondering about.
"Etc."
Chen Fan suddenly realized something and strode towards the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail with Keke: "Keke, come with me." (The "Missile Storage Base" Behind Nameless Mountain in the Mortal Domain.)
This year.
The Mortal Domain has a large reserve of Standard Sky-Piercing Pillars, ranging from level 1 to level 20, all of which are powered by Exotic Treasures such as "Tribulation Clouds ". Without the Thunderstorm Sea, recharging has become much more troublesome.
However, last year's campaign yielded a large number of these Exotic Treasures.
That does fill the gap.
These are Sky-Piercing Pillar.
They are all Standard Sky-Piercing Pillars, but they can be transformed into "Nuclear Warhead Versions" at any time. The Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillars Sky-Piercing Pillar reserved as preparation for the "Vanguard Sky-Piercing Pillars ".
In any case, the standard version of the Sky-Piercing Pillar is extremely cheap to build.
It won't hurt to stock up on more.
Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar can also withstand the full force of Heavenly Dao Cannon, but it doesn't have the two Max-Level Effects of Sky-Piercing Pillar. Generally, the "Nuclear Warhead version of Sky-Piercing Pillar" that the Mortal Domain throws out is a level 20 Sky-Piercing Pillar.
And here.
They have stockpiled nearly 100,000 units.
It stands quietly in a large area planned Behind Nameless Mountain, and from a distance, it looks like Steel Forest.
This is only part of it.
In other regions of the Eternal Night Continent, including the various continents they occupied, they had stockpiled a number of Sky-Piercing Pillars, totaling approximately 200,000.
Certainly.
The Mortal Domain cannot possibly have enough resources to convert all these Sky-Piercing Pillars into "Nuclear-Warhead-Carrying Strategic Sky-Piercing Pillar," but storing energy in the Sky-Piercing Pillars takes time, so it's best to prepare more to avoid running out when needed.
"Keke, try swallowing more Sky-Piercing Pillars and stuffing them into your stomach's Storage Space until it's overflowing."
Although Keke didn't quite understand, she nodded emphatically.
The next moment
Keke rushed to a Sky-Piercing Pillar, opened her mouth—not very wide, even with a hint of a well-bred lady's reserve—but the Sky-Piercing Pillar in front of her began to shrink rapidly and disappeared into Keke's mouth.
It's very fast.
One after another, one after another.
One hour later.
Long Live stared at the markings on the notebook in his hand, his eyes filled with horror, his voice trembling as he said, "Domain... Domain Lord, Keke has contained a total of 17,209 Sky-Piercing Pillars."
At this moment, his eyes were filled with fervor and excitement as he looked at Keke.
What does this mean?
Mortal Domain, or rather, no continent, has the means to rapidly transport large numbers of buildings over long distances.
The Teleportation Formation can only transport humans and a small amount of supplies.
Large items cannot be transported.
It was wishful thinking to transport a large number of structures such as the Eerie Fire, Eerie Stone, and Heavenly Dao Cannon through the Teleportation Formation, but they came up with a clever trick.
That is to put the building inside the belly of the "Sky-Swallowing Crocodile" to circumvent this restriction.
The Blitzkrieg that landed on the "One-Eyed Continent" marked the first time this tactic was used on the battlefield.
But.
It also has significant flaws.
Firstly, the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile has limited capacity, requiring multiple trips, and it cannot accommodate very large buildings, such as the Sky-Piercing Pillar.
It's still effective in some small-scale battles.
However, once the battle becomes large-scale, its effectiveness becomes quite limited.
We must first establish a proper wartime supply and logistics transportation line, which will be extremely costly in terms of both manpower and resources.
And now
One Keke is enough.
Capable of housing 17,209 Sky-Piercing Pillars, this means that Keke alone could handle the "construction transport" for a large-scale battle. This capability isn't just theoretical; when applied to large-scale battles, it's a game-changer!
Long Live's gaze toward Keke grew increasingly fervent.
For the Strategist Pavilion...
Keke is a nuclear weapon these days!
Chen Fan stared blankly at Keke, who was still unaware of what had happened. He naturally knew what Keke meant; the protection period was gradually coming to an end.
He actually found it very difficult to calm down.
It's a bit like watching the settlement date approaching with your own eyes.
But.
Keke reassured him.
"Good."
"Very good."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, "Well done, Keke."
Although Keke didn't know what made Chen Fan happy, Chen Fan avoided his intense gaze somewhat shyly, turning her head to the side as if nothing was wrong, while her tail thumped uncontrollably on the ground.
"Ha ha."
Chen Fan, looking satisfied, laughed heartily and turned to walk towards the High-Speed Rail next to him.
This should be Keke's ability after her last mutation.
Very nice.
Although it's a little heartbreaking to send a young child to the battlefield, it would be a real shame if such a talented person didn't go to war.
His Long Live hurriedly followed.
"That"
The Group Leader at the Missile Storage Base approached Keke, gesturing wildly and tentatively asking, "Could you return those Sky-Piercing Pillars to me first? They all need to be settled."
Keke tilted her head and looked at the Group Leader. After a while, she understood what he meant and obediently spat out the Sky-Piercing Pillars one by one.
The Group Leader didn't dare to slack off either.
They led the people to quickly count each item one by one.
One of these is essential.
After confirming the quantity was correct, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Keke was happily leaving, muttering absentmindedly, "I didn't even leave one for myself. If it were Weiwei, I would definitely have left a few for myself."
"Group Leader."
A teammate couldn't help but step forward and say, "Isn't Keke's ability a bit too overpowered? How can such a small body hold so many things?"
"Shh!"
The Group Leader shook his head. "Pretend we didn't see anything today. Don't talk about this kind of thing outside. Remember the confidentiality rules."
"Clear."
