Chapter 1687

Can this thing even be called a mountain? I feel it should be considered a small world...

The craftsmen stood on the ground, looking at a mountain over a hundred kilometers high, giving them the illusion of gazing up at the sky.

The first divine artisan, Babawuli, explained proudly: "Molten Gold Mountain is one of the most miraculous treasures in the Elemental Sea; although it possesses no great power itself, it greatly aids in forging, automatically gathering cosmic energy to form supreme divine fire. If anyone among you wishes to learn the art of forging, for Xiao Feng's sake, I can teach you."

The craftsmen looked envious.

However, they had no desire to learn, because various life professions cannot simultaneously reach the peak; although one can study multiple, once any profession breaks through to divine level, the others become stuck and cannot progress further.

They are already divine-level craftsmen, so naturally they cannot learn divine-level forging techniques.

Xiao Feng flew back down, landed on the ground, and said to everyone: "You are more professional than I am in city building, so design according to the earlier sketch; if needed, you can also construct some buildings on the lower half of Molten Gold Mountain, as long as you don't damage its magical formation structure."

This had been approved by Babawuli; Molten Gold Mountain is too vast and desolate, so adding some buildings would allow visitors, giving the Flame Sprite clan's children more chances to interact with others.

Only Babawuli enjoys solitude; the other people on Molten Gold Mountain are not necessarily like that.

Some of them came to Molten Gold Mountain to escape worldly strife, while others got lost in the Elemental Sea, temporarily seeking refuge or fleeing pursuers.

Now Xiao Feng can provide them with a safe and tranquil environment; even if the population grows, no one will have major objections.

However, the tavern on Molten Gold Mountain must remain closed, not allowing too many people in, otherwise it would ruin the atmosphere for the drinkers.

"Great Divine Xiao Feng, entrust it to us; we are bursting with inspiration and already have many ideas. Give us one month, and we will surely forge Molten Gold City into the most distinctive super‑city in the alliance."

The divine-level craftsmen were all excited, eager to embark on a grand project.

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "First, let's set up the teleportation array and city walls; I'll obtain a larger prestige gold seal to guard it."

In terms of area, Molten Gold City only needs a medium gold seal; 500 prestige points can protect it for three years.

But the height of Molten Gold Mountain is exaggerated beyond the limit, so we must use a larger one!

There are three larger types, but the eternal gold seal cannot be exchanged, leaving no option.

A large gold seal costs 5,000 prestige points and is normally used to guard a small divine nation, protecting an area with a radius of 50,000 kilometers—far exceeding Molten Gold City's size, which seems wasteful.

However, there are still many places near the Autumn Wind Plain suitable for building a city; even without constructing large Chengshi, we could set up ten-odd small Chengshi that can accommodate a million residents to divert players and guard the main city.

However, there are many suitable sites for city construction near the Autumn Wind Plains; even without building a large city, we could create a dozen or so small cities each capable of housing a million residents to divert players and shield the main city.

It would be better to spend 10,000 prestige points for an extra‑large gold seal, granting a protection radius of 100,000 kilometers and lasting up to ten years!

As long as the Lord of the Skies does not destroy it, this city will stand firm and become one of the most distinctive and influential cities on the Myriad Realms battlefield!

Having thought this through, Xiao Feng told the craftsmen: "Call more people later; centered on Molten Gold City, expand outward 80–100 thousand kilometers, placing a border watchtower every 1,000 kilometers. We will establish a divine nation, using this place as the core to create an exclusive Myriad Realms domain for our Blue Star 8th War Zone."

"Wow, are we finally going to build a divine nation!"

Upon hearing this, the craftsmen all became excited.

So far, all major war zones in the Myriad Realms battlefield have remained at the city‑building stage, because population and resources only allow the construction of about ten cities at once.

Any more would likely break the resource balance and cannot be sustained.

Although ten cities gathered together can also form a divine nation.

But doing so would shrink the influence radius of our own war zone considerably, which is not conducive to long‑term development.

Thus, up to now, very few war zones have managed to establish a divine nation.

Within the alliance, only the Blue Star 1st War Zone has begun constructing the 'Abundant Divine Nation' around Plenty City; the others have not yet moved.

Now, with just a few words from Xiao Feng, they are about to raise a new divine nation—how could they not be excited?

Crafter players do not yearn to become the server's top combat experts like fighters; they prefer that the cities they build prosper and flourish, becoming renowned places across the Myriad Realms.

Once the divine nation is established, their names will be engraved on a large monument near the teleportation array, remembered by all passing visitors.

"We will start immediately; building the border watchtowers requires the war workshop to begin work. We were completely unprepared before, but now all cities are starting construction together, which should take about seven days to finish," said the leading craftsman girl, Maintenance Machine.

Erecting watchtowers at the borders of a divine nation is one of the conditions for establishing a divine nation in the Myriad Realms battlefield; one is needed every 1,000 kilometers, and the larger the range, the more are required.

Given that the Blue Star 8th War Zone currently has nine cities and four secret realms of comparable scale, production will also take a considerable amount of time.

However, the Lord of the Skies has already departed, and the warfare in nearby regions does not affect the divine nation range Xiao Feng has chosen, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Then it's up to you; if you need anything, you can contact your Divine Emperor guild leader or find me. The first divine nation is very important; I'll talk with the guild leaders and see what name would be good."

Xiao Feng did not leave; instead, he stayed on Molten Gold Mountain with Babawuli for a while to prevent foreign invaders from harming the NPCs there.

He chatted with the Divine Emperor and others, discussing the issue of naming the divine nation.

Many guild leaders thought it over and proposed several references.

— Elemental Divine Nation, Blue Star Divine Nation, First Divine Nation, Molten Gold Divine Nation, Heavenly Way Divine Nation, and Xiao Feng Divine Nation.

Although Xiao Feng is thick‑skinned, he immediately rejected the name 'Xiao Feng Divine Nation.'

After thinking it over, he felt that none of these names were quite right.

He therefore proposed using the name 'Chaotic Divine Nation.'

Within this war zone, over 300 expert players have received the inheritance of the Chaos Immortal Realm; that inheritance had a profound impact and remains very important to this day.

These experts hold extraordinary significance for the fate of the war zone, and the source of their inheritance naturally carries exceptional meaning as well.

Moreover, 'Chaotic Divine Nation' sounds lofty and domineering, like an advanced version of the Heavenly Way Divine Nation!

Thus it received unanimous approval and was finally settled.

The craftsman team estimated the time; the preliminary establishment of the Chaos Divine Nation would take about half a month, only including the construction of the capital city, watchtowers, and three major basic Chengshi.

To complete the overall construction and meet a divine nation's 'perfect condition', at least 36 medium-small Chengshi with Teleportation Arrays need to be built; this requires a relatively long time, possibly over two months.

Recently there have been fewer battles, so no one is in a rush; we can take it slow.

The only thing to worry about is the Tian Kong Lord passing by again here, causing destruction.

However, Xiao Feng also secretly made a resolution; if his divine nation were invaded by the Tian Kong Lord, perhaps he would have to unleash his three thousand incarnations together, expending a few more lives, to tear the Tian Kong Lord apart mid-way.

【Today there is only one update; I recently chatted with some enthusiastic netizens, considering enriching the content of the Magic Source Mountain waterfall and expanding it to over ten chapters. Those who want to see it should join the group in advance; it will likely be released around the third day of the Lunar New Year. Group number 147361521 (PS: The author will not take a break over the New Year, and both books will continue normal updates).】
