How powerful the Black Tortoise had been! Even a few of the idealist rules that dispersed after its death could give rise to vast quantities of undersea minerals.
So, while they were still here, they might as well mine a little more.
"Also, we need to raise this island a little. As long as we expand its land area to 2,000 square kilometers and cultivate more terrestrial species, the world will should grow stronger too."
The Black Tortoise's shell covered roughly 60,000 square kilometers. From a biological standpoint, it truly was an unprecedented behemoth.
Even a super divine beast like the Torch Dragon was not as enormous as the Black Tortoise. The main reason was that the Black Tortoise had deliberately grown larger to support the Flame-Horned People.
Its supply of transcendent spirit had actually been insufficient to sustain such an enormous body, so this had shortened its lifespan considerably.
Now that the Black Tortoise was dead and its corpse had turned to stone, raising it would require the power of the world will.
Zhang Ming had just communicated with the world will. Completely raising the Black Tortoise's corpse would require only 1.22 units of Source of the World, which also showed just how large a unit "Source of the World" was.
Of course, maintaining its stability after raising it would be an ongoing expense...
Thus, there was another option: hollow out some of the Black Tortoise's interior and let some air inside. With the buoyancy of the water, the Black Tortoise would float on the sea like a ship.
It did not need to rise very far. Ten meters would be enough to move the two research institutes over.
"When the time comes, we'll turn this place into a true earthly holy land!"
Old White's eyes shone at Zhang
