The resources on Golden Star are abundant and can fully meet the development needs of the Royal Court. However, before that, those annoying magical beasts must be cleared out first.
Because the power of the monsters far surpasses that of humans, most of the territory of the Golden Star, especially its fertile lands, has been occupied by powerful monsters, leaving the Golden Kingdom to develop only in a small area.
It's not that Warcraft possesses any great wisdom; it's simply about seeking advantage and avoiding harm.
In fertile soil, vegetation flourishes, attracting numerous herbivores, which in turn draw in a large number of carnivores, thus forming a complete ecosystem.
Monsters also need to eat to survive, even powerful ones. They use their stored energy for life leaps, and becoming stronger is the instinctive pursuit of all life, regardless of whether they possess intelligence.
Only by eradicating the monsters of Golden Star can humanity's footprints spread across every inch of the land, establishing mines, supporting a larger population, and forging more weapons...
In short, aside from the relatively docile monster species that can be kept and artificially bred to provide hunters with professional materials, all the temperamental, ungrateful monsters, as well as monsters with strength above Demigod, must be eliminated.
With a slight mechanical hum, the otherwise unremarkable surface of the Alchemy Rune Engraving Machine lit up with a pale green energy matrix. Twelve indicator lights flashed, and a waterfall of information flowed onto the screen, continuous and terrifying in its sheer volume. An ordinary person would probably faint if they saw it even once.
Logo subconsciously closed his eyes and used the thousands of energy threads extending from his body to carefully sense the operation of the rune engraving machine. After confirming that there were no problems, he had a thought, and the metal ground below suddenly softened, enveloping the fourteen-meter-tall rune engraving machine like liquid, and slowly sank down.
After a short while, the ground returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion. Only the empty ground silently proclaimed something.
Turning around, Logo quickly immersed himself in the creation of the next alchemical device.
This is something that looks exactly like an electric shock chair. On both sides of the main body, which is made of pure metal, there are four hollow spheres about the size of a human head. Strands of electromagnetic energy flow between the hollow spheres, occasionally flashing with a dazzling blue light. In the center of the backrest, there are several limp metal needles with their tips gleaming coldly. They look extremely sharp. People who are afraid of injections would probably collapse to the ground upon seeing this.
[Extraordinary Talent Assisted Awakening Device] -- An alchemical device that assists in awakening Rare Transcendent talents by injecting high-level life energy.
Life energy is injected into the body via a soft metal needle through the spine. At the same time, four hollow electromagnetic spheres release a special magnetic field to regulate the body and help cells absorb higher-level life energy at a deeper level.
Top-tier talent and ability, almost equivalent to genius.
For an Transcendent race, a single exceptionally talented member is far superior to tens of thousands of ordinary members, especially when the race is relatively weak.
The weaker a civilization or group is, the more it values individual strong individuals in order to achieve a leapfrog development. Therefore, the strongest individuals of small races often possess supreme authority. In contrast, while top civilizations also value individual strong individuals, they do not grant these individuals supreme authority. Instead, these strong individuals are subject to numerous constraints because these top civilizations possess too many methods to restrain individual strong individuals.
Geniuses are often the prelude to the strong, so it is conceivable that the Talent Assisted Awakening Device is of great significance to the development of the Royal Court.
Similar to the Orbital Base Station, the Talent Assisted Awakening Device can only be mass-produced after obtaining a sufficient number of Philosopher's Stone.
Unlike the Rare Philosopher's Stone required for Orbital Base Station, the Talent Assisted Awakening Device requires more common and fine quality Philosopher's Stone.
Logo's current stockpile of Philosopher's Stone is more than enough for the time being.
As for the future... with the gradual opening up of the Astral Realm and the black market getting on track, while we can't say for high-quality Philosopher's Stone, at least there won't be a shortage of ordinary and fine-quality Philosopher's Stone.
Two hours later, having completed today's manufacturing tasks, Logo left the laboratory and went to the living quarters of the Nirvana Tower.
The decor is very simple and feminine, with a subtle, pleasant fragrance in the air.
The reason is that these rooms weren't originally intended for Logo. After all, what use would someone who has abandoned even their physical body have for a place to live?
In the living room, a slender young woman with hair as fine as starlight and exquisitely beautiful features was curled up on a soft sofa watching TV. Looking at her focused expression, her cherry lips slightly parted, and her wide-eyed, innocent-looking face, no one would guess that she was a Demigod.
However, this is the real Qiya Pandoria White Wolf. Her previous heroic and aloof demeanor was just a disguise, something that had been forcibly created by White Wolf's head butler since childhood.
Later, even with Logo as her support, the Clan Hatred within her affected her spirit, making it difficult for Qiya to unleash her true self.
Until Logo conquered the White Wolf Royal Capital, the Clan Hatred transformed into the purest power and merged into Qiya's body. This not only propelled her to become Demigod, but also restored her true nature, a mix of innocence and cunning.
Perhaps because she had been suppressed for the past hundred years, spending her time either cultivating or Slaughter on the battlefield, Qiya, after becoming Demigod, was able to let loose and act like a crazy girl. As a result, when she stood next to Logo, they didn't look like a couple, but rather like Logo raising a teenage daughter.
"You've finally finished your experiment! Come and see, this new anime from Karn Star is absolutely amazing, especially the male lead, he's so handsome..." Qiya waved and said without turning her head.
Logo paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he glanced at the television screen he hadn't been paying much attention to. After a moment, he scoffed, "What kind of look is that? That guy is clearly quite ordinary."
Qiya, who was secretly watching her partner's every move, saw this and slightly curled the corners of her mouth, but quickly hid it.
Putting aside the couple's daily interactions, after Logo sat down, Qiya casually asked, "When will the monster cleanup operation you mentioned start?"
"Three days from now, will your job change be successful?" Logo casually took the snacks from Qiya's hand and ate them without changing his expression under the girl's furrowed brows.
Qiya raised her hand, and a blood-red crystal battle scythe appeared in her palm. Her expression turned serious as she said, "I've discovered that the Origin Blood Demonic Scythe class seems to suit me very well. Slaughter comes with strong negative emotions, and under the long-term influence of Clan Hatred, I've gradually become accustomed to that feeling. With the Mouth of Gluttony Hatred that you gave me, I not only successfully completed the class change but also awakened several powerful class abilities."
"Oh?" Logo's expression shifted slightly. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Emotions are indeed a system with great potential. They are directly related to mental attributes. The Devil Clan are experts in this area, ultimately giving rise to the renowned Original Sin System that is famous throughout the Astral Realm..."
Qiya's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "You said that Pureblood Human Race and Devil Clan are allies. Could it be because their ability systems are compatible and complementary?"
"Perhaps, but those profound mysteries are beyond our reach." Logo shrugged.
"Alright..." Qiya put away the crystal battle scythe. "By the way, before I came here, I heard from the Left Prime Minister that the Radiant Empire just won the Battle of Gerlius, and even took this opportunity to push the battle line back by over a thousand kilometers and recapture several large cities."
Logo dismissed it, "It's normal. After all, three months ago, after signing a peace agreement with us, the Radiant Empire's northeastern region was temporarily relieved of immense pressure, and the Southern An Alliance ceased its offensive. Internationally, with the Crimson Alliance's withdrawal, the pressure on the Radiant Empire had almost vanished. Nobody wants to confront this former hegemon directly. After all, the various countries have already made their fortunes; the Light-Bathed Sea alone is enough to sustain them for a long time, not to mention the various promises made, both overt and covert, by the Radiance Holy See during this period..."
"Does that mean we betrayed the orcs and goblins?" Qiya blinked, a hint of guilt and shortness of breath flashing in her bright eyes; she was indeed thin-skinned.
"That's not how you put it. We didn't ask them to attack the Radiant Empire, did we?" Logo said, sounding quite self-righteous.
Qiya reached out and tugged at Logo's cheek, seemingly wanting to confirm just how thick-skinned her man was, only to be met with a burst of golden-blue sparks.
"An energy clone? Can't you even conjure up a real physical body?" Qiya pouted, glaring fiercely at Logo.
"What's the point of a physical body?" Logo asked nonchalantly. "Isn't the experience of souls colliding far more wonderful?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's fair and delicate cheeks flushed bright red, as if recalling some unbearable scene. She quickly shook her head and flung it away, her silver hair swaying in the air, like someone's fluttering heart. This scene made Logo, who was watching the show, burst into laughter.
Time flies, and three days later...
Golden Star.
Surrounded by continuous mountains, in a river valley area covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, stands a huge spatial portal in the very center, reaching into the clouds as if reaching the heavens and standing on the earth.
A silver membrane rippled like water as a group of people emerged from it. Leading them was Logo's energy clone, condensed from the Fire of Birth. A miniature pendant resembling the Logo Nirvana Tower hung on his chest, swaying back and forth with each step. The flowing fire feathers on its surface swayed like tassels floating in the wind, a beautiful sight.
Behind Logo, on his left and right, stood the Grand Elder wielding Slaughter scythe and Qiya, clad in Demigod armor.
Next came Aibuer and Charles of the Nitavie Clan, the grandfather and grandson both displaying increasingly respectful expressions.
This wasn't simply because Logo held the lifeline of the Nitavie Clan in his hands, or because he forced the grandfather and grandson to sign a contract.
Besides the stick, Logo also offered substantial rewards, such as valuable knowledge of the assassin profession, thus completely winning over the Nitavie Family.
Assassins have no morals to begin with; people in this profession are especially like dogs.
First, beat him until he's scared, then chain him up, and feed him well. After a few times, he'll definitely become a sharp weapon in your hand, biting whoever he points at without hesitation.
Of course, vigilance is essential during this process. You need to keep a close eye on things at all times. Otherwise, a dog that is raised too well may not be able to distinguish between its own size and its lord. You need to be able to judge the appropriate level of discipline yourself.
Judging from the way Nittawi and her granddaughter acted, Logo clearly grasped the appropriate level of control, and the dog training was a complete success.
