Chapter 2480: Phase One Complete
Xia Duo does not lack proficiency; he has already trained enough in the Projection Plane. Now, he only needs to maintain his previous stable spellcasting state; there is no need to overthink or do anything extra.
The spellcasting instructions issued by the intelligent brain are cold and precise, without a trace of excess; he only needs to follow them.
Very quickly, when the spellcasting instructions reached 55:07, the Mythallar closed loop was orderly and without any accidents. Everything was within Xia Duo's expectations. The final ten seconds—
10, 9, 8,...
It was not until the intelligent brain transmitted the final spellcasting instruction that Xia Duo's spirit suddenly relaxed. His whole body hung semi-limply in the water, and possessing the 【Water Control】 bloodline trait, he gasped for air in the water.
However, at this moment, he had no heart to pay attention to the state of his body; all his attention was focused on the miracle creation before his eyes.
The moment the Mythallar was completely finished, its form stood out entirely from the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net, but it was only for an instant; the next moment, it merged into the grand tide of the Magic Net.
If he had not already obtained the Mythallar Permission during the spellcasting process, Xia Duo would have taken the previous scene for a hallucination, but it was not a hallucination; he had truly completed the New Floating City Mythallar!
After roughly checking the state of the Mythallar and confirming it perfectly met expectations, Xia Duo could not help but raise the corners of his mouth. He had finally succeeded; he succeeded on the twelfth attempt, completely exceeding expectations.
He had originally thought he would try at least dozens of times and drag it out for several days; he did not expect to succeed on the very first day!
Xia Duo felt jubilant inside; he wanted to share this good news with others. Thinking of this, Xia Duo used Huashanshuiliu, and with just one leap, he appeared near Niya and the others.
After returning to his human form, Xia Duo announced to everyone:
"The first phase of the New Floating City construction is successfully completed! Everyone will have a three-day holiday starting now; we will continue the second phase of construction in three days."
"Is it finished just like that?"
It was fine for Niya and Saville, as they had some understanding of the Mythallar, but the others were not sure if it had succeeded. After all, Xia Duo could easily fix spellcasting errors before; was this now the same situation as before?
Before Xia Duo's announcement, many people had guessed this, but when Xia Duo announced that the first phase of construction was complete, not a single person doubted his statement.
Immediately after, they fell into great joy. On one hand, their previous training had been rewarded; on the other hand, they felt it was incredible that they had actually participated in the construction of a Floating City.
Especially those High Mages who had achieved their rank through the Inheritance Ritual; one must know that not long ago they were only Intermediate Mages, or even Low Mages, and now they were suddenly participating in such a major project.
They didn't feel much before, but once the project truly had results, even if it was only a phased one, it was enough to make them feel it was incredible.
"I really didn't think I would have a day where I participated in the construction of a Floating City."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Haven't you worked in a Floating City before?"
"Can this be the same? Before, I was building infrastructure in a Floating City, which could be said to have little to do with the Floating City itself. Now I am participating in building the Floating City itself; you tell me, can this be the same?"
"Now that you put it that way, it really is! And it's the legendary Mythallar; this feeling is truly a bit dreamy."
Xia Duo saw the mages' conversation. In fact, more people were curious about what effects this New Floating City Mythallar actually had and how it differed from the Mythallar of Chang'an City outside.
However, Xia Duo would not tell them this answer; it was better to let them experience it personally in their future life and study!
"Everyone, there is still a little bit of finishing work now. If you want to watch, you can stay; if you don't want to watch and want to go back to rest, you can also go back first."
Since Xia Duo had said so, even Saville, who was already prepared to return to the Main Plane, stayed behind, wanting to see what that so-called finishing work meant.
Niya even asked directly in the Spirit Thought Network. Seeing this, the others immediately pricked up their ears, and Xia Duo did not hide it from them:
"The current New Floating City Mythallar is still in a state without Material Nodes, but because the requirement at the beginning of its design was that it needed Material Nodes, what I am about to do is place the Material Nodes to make it reach a truly complete state."
This current state can also exist independently; this is mainly to facilitate future expansion, renovation, or demolition of the New Floating City. The current Mythallar can be preserved and reused.
While explaining his design philosophy for the New Floating City to everyone, Xia Duo had already taken twelve ten-meter-diameter Adamantine spheres from his Personal Space.
Seeing these twelve giant spheres glowing with a faint blue light, even the knowledgeable Saville could not help but be stunned for a moment, asking subconsciously:
"Don't tell me these are Adamantine spheres?"
"Of course they are Adamantine; if you don't believe me, you can check!" Xia Duo said very casually.
And Saville really went over to check, but what Xia Duo took out was real Adamantine; Saville certainly couldn't find any tricks, but it was precisely because of this that Saville felt even more incredible.
"How many ancient ruins did you dig up? How could there be so much Adamantine! Impossible, even if all the ancient ruins were dug up, there couldn't be this much Adamantine! This must be an illusion!"
But Saville understood Xia Duo's character; if he said it was Adamantine, it was definitely Adamantine. But for so much Adamantine, besides explaining it with illusion magic, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
A single Adamantine sphere alone weighed over ten thousand tons, and there were twelve here. Saville didn't know if so much Adamantine had ever been mined in the history of the Main Plane, but he was certain that Netheril definitely did not have this much!
He really didn't know how Xia Duo got so much Adamantine.
The Adamantine was real, it definitely wasn't an illusion. Saville's thoughts raced, thinking of the Plane Exploration Center that the Tower of Time had just established not long ago, could it be—
"Did you discover an Adamantine Plane?"
This wasn't impossible; theoretically, it was entirely possible to exist, but the probability was far smaller than discovering a Habitable Plane. Of course, it could also be an Earth Elemental Plane rich in Adamantine deposits, but this probability was not much greater than discovering a Habitable Plane either.
Moreover, mining from the Earth Elemental Plane would require a large amount of time and manpower; it would be impossible to mine this much in a short time.
"Just consider that I discovered a great treasure!"
Xia Duo didn't say that all this Adamantine was directly converted by him from elements. Converting elements into matter was not rare, but converting them into specific matter was rare. Now was not the time to make the 【Element-Matter】 Equation public.
Even Niya, he hadn't told, let alone Saville!
It was just that the more he was like this, the more curious Saville became. Xia Duo could clearly feel the curious, itching emotion radiating from Saville's consciousness in the Spirit Thought Network.
"Haha!"
Seeing Saville act awkward, Xia Duo was actually quite happy, because since Saville returned to the Tower of Time, he had always felt a bit detached from everything and could not truly integrate into the current Tower of Time.
Now, let's see if you take the bait!
