Eye of Heavenly Derivation
"Passion."
Chen Jiutian gave his answer in two words.
"I don't love Formations; Formation just a tool and means to achieve my goals."
"Mortal Domain Formation Pavilion, including the current Formation Pavilion Master, is passionate about Formation. They would study Formation day and night, but I am not."
I love Peace.
"The Formation is merely a means to achieve my goal."
"If there's a choice."
"I'd rather come to a place where I can pursue my passions, and I believe the Strategist Pavilion is that place."
"As well as"
"In the Mortal Domain History Book, the 'Strategist Pavilion' appears quite frequently. I want to Immortalized in History, not remain unknown."
Chen Fan looked calmly at the young man before him.
Chen Jiutian.
What an arrogant name!
Young..
That's great.
Long ago, he hesitated between the two names of his forces: "Mortal Sect" and "Mortal Domain." At that time, he only had a very small force and was worried that choosing "Mortal Domain" might be too arrogant. In the end, he decided on this name.
And this guy.
He's much more arrogant than he was when he was younger.
"Good."
After a long while, Chen Fan laughed.
Time passed little by little.
The Mortal Domain Second Spring Examination quickly came to an end. This time, no one Top Ranker was directly appointed as the Pavilion Master. Since ancient times, those who won the first Grand Examination have always benefited the most. This is a benefit of the times that cannot be replicated.
There aren't that many Pavilion Master positions in the Mortal Domain.
Until
The date is April 18th, 2003, according to the "Eternal Night New Calendar".
Weiwei, he's awake.
He was the last to find out.
When he found out, Weiwei did something big.
Black Tortoise Plains, Black Tortoise Sky Pillar.
On this "Black Tortoise Sky Pillar" that is 20,000 kilometers high, Chen Fan stood on the flat ground, looking at the huge hole above his head, and stood quietly in place.
Fallen Firmament.
It was shattered.
Large amounts of dense gas are dissipating from the hole, falling onto the Eternal Night Continent and forming Eerie Ore.
Weiwei was lying on the flat ground with a smug look on its face, its head held high and its tail wagging excitedly as always, but deep in its eyes was a deep weariness.
"Young Master."
The Crippled Monkey lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Fan's gaze, and whispered with a shifty look in his eyes, "I've never hidden anything from you in my life, this is the first time, mainly... I also think that this might be better."
"Happy birthday."
"Young Master."
Weiwei up on April 1st, the day the Mortal Domain Second Spring Examination began.
However, she did not tell Chen Fan after waking up.
Instead, he traveled alone, not by High-Speed Rail, but by hiding and running all the way from Jiangbei to the "Black Tortoise Plains," intending to go to Black Tortoise Sky Pillar alone, break through the Fallen Firmament, and give it to Chen Fan as a birthday present on April 18.
April 18th.
It's Chen Fan's birthday.
Last time, Weiwei went to the New Continent alone to dig for Earth Gold and gave it to Chen Fan as a gift.
This time.
Weiwei, I sent you a Fallen Firmament.
But
The Mortal Domain guarded the "Black Tortoise Sky Pillar" extremely strictly. Weiwei was discovered the moment she arrived, and the news was reported up the chain of command until it reached the hands of the Crippled Monkey. After learning of Weiwei's intentions, the Crippled Monkey struggled for a long time but still kept the matter a secret.
That's all.
Weiwei lay on the Black Tortoise Sky Pillar, without sleep, rest, food, or drink, and remained seated there for eighteen days.
April 18th.
Open your eyes and wave your hand.
The Firmament shattered in response.
Endless spiritual energy poured down from the Nine Heavens onto the Eternal Night Continent, as if announcing to the world that today is Boss Weiwei's Weiwei, Chen Fan's birthday. Chen Fan stood there in silence for a long time before looking at Weiwei.
He never looked forward to his birthday.
If he receives birthday wishes and gifts from relatives and friends every year since he was a child, he will naturally look forward to it.
But before I traveled to this world.
He was an orphan.
He had no relatives or friends, had never celebrated his birthday, and naturally had no expectations for it. Just like last year's birthday, it passed by without him even remembering it.
Only.
"Thanks."
Chen Fan laughed, but then looked at the Crippled Monkey and scolded him with a smile, "You're not allowed to hide anything from me anymore. If there are too many things in the Mortal Domain that you're keeping from me, I'll be scared."
"Let's go take a look."
"Let's see what the Beyond Heaven the Night Awakeners have been longing for really look like."
He looked up at the hole that was so close to him.
The Crippled Monkey grinned and carried a ladder out from a corner.
Soon
Chen Fan, the Crippled Monkey, and their group climbed up the ladder to the Beyond Heaven.
Chen Fan stood still, looking around.
Silence.
There was not a sound. Below the barrier, the wind howled from thousands of miles above, but inside the barrier, there was not a breath of wind, and... there was no Oxygen; he couldn't breathe. He returned.
When we came back here, everyone was holding a potted plant.
It's used on "Submersible Ships " on a regular basis.
This is a new Exotic Plant, a "Breath Vines" grown at "Hundred Grains Pavilion". It emits Oxygen that is more suitable for humans and has a refreshing effect. There is nothing around.
It resembles an extremely wide and flat plain.
There were no clouds or sun overhead, but there was light, the source of which was unknown, like a world without a master lamp.
The barrier beneath my feet is transparent.
It felt like standing on a transparent glass surface.
This is the Beyond Heaven, the "Fallen Firmament," the place where the Night Awakeners wanted to establish a kingdom. But the Night Awakeners certainly hadn't been to the Beyond Heaven, otherwise they would know that it was unsuitable for human life, lacking even the most basic Oxygen.
There is no land.
There is no river water.
It's not raining.
Humans cannot achieve self-sufficiency in Beyond Heaven.
Chen Fan looked up at the sky, wondering what was above him, but a notification appearing on the Endless Night Lord Panel Depths of the Soul interrupted him, "Proceeding to the Special Area 'Fallen Firmament'."
The Purple Grade building "Heavenly Derivation Formation" at Level-20 Max-Level Effect) has the "Heavenly Derivation Set" effect: If you possess both the Heavenly Derivation Sand Table and the Heavenly Derivation Formation, and then travel to the Special Area "Fallen Firmament," you can obtain the Special Component "Eye of Heavenly Derivation," which will be triggered.
"Obtained the Special Component 'Eye of Heavenly Derivation'."
Chen Fan looked at the panel.
The Heavenly Derivation Sand Table is a rare Exotic Treasure I acquired a long time ago, while the Heavenly Derivation Formation is Central Control building I obtained last year.
There are no Building Blueprints.
The crafting options appear directly on the "Eternal Night Lord" panel.
And no upgrades are required.
It also cannot be upgraded.
"Eye of Heavenly Derivation" is Building Module, the same type as "Copper Pipe," and is the second type of Building Module available in the Mortal Domain.
No, it's that "Building Module" type buildings are even Rare across all continents.
Over the years.
He had never seen a second Building Module.
Building Name: Eye of Heavenly Derivation.
Building grade: White.
Building Level: Level 1 (Building Modules cannot be upgraded).
"Architectural Effect": Can only be placed inside "Fallen Firmament" and can monitor the area directly below.
To create an Eye of Heavenly Derivation, 100,000 Eerie Stones are required.
Chen Fan walked to a corner.
Soon.
As numerous white lines appeared and solidified in the air, a cube ten meters wide landed on the ground and slowly embedded itself into the ground barrier, merging with it.
He then built an Eerie Fire and some Copper Pipes next to it.
After this cube is connected to the Eerie Fire via Copper Pipes.
The cube-shaped building was activated.
The outer shell has fallen off.
It transformed into a gigantic eye, seven or eight meters wide, resembling both a god and a demon, as if the Heavenly Dao were looking down upon the human world.
He looked into the Depths of the Soul at the information emanating from the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation".
The scope is extremely large.
It allows you to see the entire Eternal Night Continent and the surrounding Sea Domain spanning dozens of miles.
Chen Fan stood there, his consciousness immersed in the Depths of the Soul. This perspective truly resembled the world of the Heavenly Dao, and it could continuously magnify. He kept magnifying it until he could even clearly see a Back Mountain of the Nameless Mountain.
This building can be connected to the "Heaven-Deriving Formation Screen" Central Control.
In other words...
If he creates enough "Eye of Heavenly Derivation," he can completely monitor the Eternal Night Continent, this Sea Domain, and even the entire War Mire. There is no doubt about how important information is in war.
With the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation," he could easily carry out a decapitation strike against the Strange Entity Clan, accurately target important buildings on other continents, and instantly identify their weakest points.
After a long while.
He laughed.
He took out a Heavenly Dao Stone from his pocket and placed it beside the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation." The Building Module could not be upgraded, but it could gain the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect. "You used the 'Heavenly Dao Stone' on the Eye of Heavenly Derivation and gained three Heavenly Dao Blessing Effects. Please choose one within one hundred breaths."
"A building can only have one Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect."
"1: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Far-Sighted Vision): The effective surveillance range of the Eye of Heavenly Derivation is expanded."
"2: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence): The crafting and usage costs of the Eye of Heavenly Derivation are both halved."
"3: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Heaven Has Eyes): The Eye of Heavenly Derivation can write information in the clouds to announce it to the world, similar to the Heavenly Dao Proclamation phenomenon of advancement on the continent. Chen Fan chose the third option without much hesitation."
The first two can be solved with the Eerie Stone.
There's only one left.
The Eerie Stone cannot be solved.
After pondering for a moment, he entered the command into the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation".
The next moment
Everyone on the entire Eternal Night Continent saw the clouds overhead churning rapidly, eventually forming a line of text.
"I am Chen Fan."
"Happy day, everyone gets a day off."
At first, I felt lost.
But then came excitement. First, excitement that the Mortal Domain possessed such extraordinary means; second, the holiday. Since ancient times, holidays have always brought joy. Chen Fan saw this even more clearly.
He saw a thin, Crimson Beam shoot out from the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation," stirring the clouds before forming the two lines of text within them. That was a clever technique.
In the future, if there are any important announcements in the Mortal Domain, this method can be used. Not only will it reach people faster, but most importantly, it will be more prestigious. This is a method that only the Heavenly Dao possesses.
Moreover, it's a method of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, something that Mr. Na, don't possess.
Now there's a second person.
He is Chen Fan.
Chen Fan smiled broadly, looked behind him at Crippled Monkey and the others, and waved his hand. "Get to work!"
"Ah?"
The Crippled Monkey was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Wasn't today a holiday?"
He wasn't against doing chores, but the main problem was that his Young Master's orders conflicted with his own, so he had to ask about it.
"Rational."
Chen Fan suddenly remembered this. "From now on, April 18th will be a rest day every year. Everyone will have the day off, and the Logistics Pavilion will come to work tomorrow." Before leaving.
He created hundreds of "Eye of Heavenly Derivation" and left them here.
The next day.
A large number of personnel from the Logistics Pavilion rushed to the scene.
With a large number of Copper Pipes, Flying Boats, Giant Strange Entity, etc., they began to lay out the Eye of Heavenly Derivation on the ground barrier of "Fallen Firmament" and connect it with Copper Pipes and Eerie Fire.
Chen Fan named it.
"Heaven-Watching Project."
One month later.
The date is May 18th in the Eternal Night New Calendar.
The Heaven-Watching Project has already Achievement.
Currently, the "Eye of Heavenly Derivation" has spread to almost half of the Sea Domain. There is no darkness, no Eternal Night, no Strange Entities, and no bad weather in the Fallen Firmament. There is nothing there, so the construction progress is much faster.
It is currently connected to the "Heaven-Deriving Formation Screen".
There are two startup methods.
The first method starts when needed, consuming less resources.
The second option is to Tianqi, which consumes more resources.
With 100 Eye of Heavenly Derivation activated for continuous monitoring, the daily consumption of Eerie Stones is 1 million, which amounts to 30 million Eerie Stones per month—no small amount. It can only be activated around the clock during wartime.
But Nameless Mountains in the Mortal Domain.
Chen Fan was sitting at the desk in the Stone House, his consciousness sinking into the Depths of the Soul, connecting with the Eye of Heavenly Derivation above the "Huyi Continent". With continuous magnification, he accurately found the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, who was lying on a huge Rocking Chair reading a newspaper.
He was muttering something under his breath.
He can't hear.
The Eye of Heavenly Derivation transmits only images, not sounds.
They look quite well-behaved.
Next.
He was like a lion patrolling his territory, inspecting the specific conditions of the other continents in this Sea Domain. It was quite a magical feeling; he could know everything happening in the world without leaving home.
Achoo.
On the Yanyi Continent, the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, reclining in Rocking Chair, sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Is someone missing me?" From last year until now.
Life was very peaceful.
I go for a run in the morning, read the newspaper in the afternoon, and take a walk on the Seaside in the evening.
Life felt like a vacation.
Xiangyang quickly adapted to this life, and would often lament, "I've wasted my life, I've wasted everything before, this is the life I should be living." "By the way..."
Suddenly remembering something, Jiu Wu turned his head to look at Xiangyang, who was lying on a beach chair nearby. "You're the first person I've ever seen Meatworm Wraith into Ghost Emperor. How did you do it?"
The Meatworm Wraith.
The most troublesome type of Strange Entities during the beginner phase.
They roam in large groups, unable to control themselves, drifting with the wind, and exploding when they encounter obstacles.
The mortality rate of the Meatworm Wraith is extremely high; let alone Ghost Emperor, even becoming a Wraith King is extremely difficult.
That's a long story.
Xiangyang sighed deeply, "I can only say I'm unlucky."
"It must be good fortune," Jiu Wu said, pursing his lips. "Ordinary Meatworm Wraith could never reach your level."
"No."
Xiangyang shook his head. "Back during the Meatworm Wraith Tide, I gained Spirit Intelligence, but I still couldn't control my actions. I could only watch helplessly as my body swayed in the wind. That feeling of not being able to control my body was incredibly despairing."
"Later, it was just a fluke."
"Thus, he became the Ghost Emperor, serving as Seven Emperors of the 'Heaven-Slaying Clan'."
He glossed over his past experiences, unwilling to elaborate, saying it wasn't a period worth remembering.
Jiu Wu didn't say anything more.
He was engrossed in the latest edition of the "Mortal Domain Daily" that his Military Strategist had brought him. There were no major events, just trivial matters, but he still read them with great interest.
Ordinary days are not common.
At least
Chen Fan cherished this time; the day had come to December 23rd of the Eternal Night New Calendar.
There are 7 days left until the protection period ends.
This day.
Chen Fan did nothing but stand alone on the Northbank Defense Line, without anyone accompanying him. The "Black Tortoise Propeller" had already been deployed across the Eternal Night Continent.
The "Eye of Heavenly Derivation" is also under construction.
It has already been deployed into the "War Mire".
He learned the location of the "War Mire" from the Heart-Eating Wraith, and by laying out the Eye of Heavenly Derivation along this direction, he could naturally reach the "War Mire."
It's really a mess.
He saw many continents clashing in the War Mire. Some continents had their defenses fully deployed, hoping only to linger in a corner of the War Mire. Other continents, however, were Full Firepower, exchanging bombardments with each other.
Strange Tide swept across the sky.
To dye the seawater black.
What's less pleasant is...
He saw a continent that had withdrawn from the "War Mire" three days ago, resting in the Sea Domain near the War Mire, and had already turned around and was heading towards the Sea Domain where the "Mortal Domain" was located.
Through the Eye of Heavenly Derivation.
He saw the flags fluttering across the continent.
"Wasteland Clan".
The "Greed" Heart-Eating Wraith is from the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan.
The goal is extremely clear.
If the speed remains unchanged, it is expected to arrive near the Eternal Night Continent in twenty days, which is the thirteenth day after the end of the protection period. Chen Fan walked quietly alone on the Northbank Defense Line, while in the Mortal Domain, a large number of Mortal Domain Members had already opened all the "Strategic Reserve Warehouses " and moved out large quantities of Eerie Stones.
These past two years.
Mortal Domain laid the "Signal Tower" on a small island near the War Mire. Through keyword monitoring and the Heaven-Questioning Bell, he learned why there was also crossfire between continents in the "War Mire".
It's not just a clash between continents and races.
There is a very important indicator for Third-Level Continents.
"Survival time in the War Mire."
After a building reaches level 20, this is an important indicator for further upgrades.
For example, one
To upgrade a building from level 20 to level 21, it must survive one day in the "War Mire".
However, to go from level 21 to level 22, one needs to survive for ten days.
Then, in order.
Thirty Days, fifty days, one hundred days, three hundred days, two hundred days, five hundred days, one thousand days, etc.
A thousand days.
Three years.
Surviving for "three years" in the War Mire is extremely difficult, so "survival time" is something that can be plundered.
As long as a continent is conquered, or the opponent surrenders.
This allows them to steal the opponent's lifespan.
Assuming the "Wasteland Clan" survived one hundred days in the War Mire, then after he annihilated the Wasteland Clan, he would have one hundred days of survival time. Therefore...
Twenty days later.
The "Wasteland Clan" left early, intending to destroy the Eternal Night Continent and seize the non-existent treasure.
He was also waiting for the Wasteland Clan.
He should wait until he gets the "Time Metric" from the Wasteland Clan before entering the War Mire. That way, when he goes into the War Mire, he won't be a small fish at the bottom of the food chain.
This battle.
It is of utmost importance to him.
He had every reason to win.
Certainly.
He believed that the "Wasteland Clan" had a compelling reason to win this battle, since if Wasteland Clan were high enough in the food War Mire, they wouldn't have left prematurely.
Since both sides have reasons why they absolutely must win.
Then we'll see who's tougher.
On the day the "Strategic Reserve Warehouse" that had been stored for three years was opened, large quantities of Eerie Stones were moved out.
"Time is up."
"Young Master."
A Flying Boat hovered in the air outside the City Walls, and the Crippled Monkey stood on the deck and spoke respectfully.
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly and boarded the Flying Boat.
The Flying Boat set sail.
A large amount of Eerie Stone from the Nameless Mountain turned into Milky White Liquid and quickly flowed into the Copper Pipe, while on the edge of the Eternal Night Continent, City Walls hundreds of meters high were constantly rising from the ground.
It's tens of thousands of miles away.
A continent is slowly moving.
This continent has no "Mysterious Heaven Propeller," but rather, countless enormous, Whale -like Strange Entities in the sea are propelling the continent's movement. These are Strange Entities Level-3 Strange Entity Clan can produce.
"Whale Strange Entity".
Its sole purpose is to facilitate the movement of the mainland.
In the Continent Core.
A Strange Entities, ten meters tall, sat on Throne within the Palace, gazing at Map in its hands. A subordinate beside it reported, "Your Majesty, we have withdrawn from the War Mire as planned. We anticipate arriving at the Eternal Night Continent in another 20 days."
The Strange Entities didn't speak, but simply gazed calmly at the Map in its hand.
Logically speaking
A mere Second-Level Continent isn't worth the entire Wasteland Clan's mobilization. After all, while the Wasteland Clan may not be considered a major force in the War Mire, that's because there are too many freaks in the War Mire. Dealing with a Second-Level Continent is a piece of cake for them.
Any unique Strange Entities of the Level-3 Strange Entity Clan would be a devastating blow to a Second-Level Continent.
Only.
The fact that "Greed" had died in that Sea Domain made him wary, as it was a Cursed Land and not to be underestimated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized his entire army.
Mortal Domain.
Chen Fan, who was laying the City Wall, suddenly laughed.
News came from the "Strategist Pavilion" that the Eye of Heavenly Derivation had detected another continent moving towards them from the direction of the War Mire. This continent has a smaller population.
Many of them are left-handed.
Preliminary assessment identifies it as the "Night Awakeners" faction.
It is a Third-Level Continent.
He turned his head to look at the gradually darkening sky in the distance, and indeed there was a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it.
A Level-3 Strange Entity Clan.
A level -Third-Level Continent.
They came together.
Is this what we'll face after the Mortal Domain's protection period ends?
Good.
That's true. If it were him, he would also arrive at the exact moment, Mortal Domain is indeed most vulnerable at this time.
