Chapter 146: Replacing the Peach with the Plum

A rare opportunity.

Sensing that this metal cave was likely an upgraded variant version of the 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' producing 'Mechanical Heavenly Craft' metal houses.

Zhang Gui looked around; although no one was paying attention to him, people of unknown identity passed by the side room from time to time.

After thinking for a moment, he held a mouthful of tea in his mouth before silently declaring:

"According to the laws of the True Dragon Kingdom, mining on True Dragon territory... conducting all economic activities... carries a natural obligation to pay taxes...

And the owner of this 'Marvel' has never fulfilled the responsibility of paying taxes...

Now, I, as the King of the True Dragon Kingdom, order...

The punitive seizure of the tax evader's property..."

Instantly, Zhang Gui's divine power crossed a distance of tens of kilometers and began to invade the metal cave on the jungle floor.

Yet, none of the soldiers, Traveling Palace staff, or newly recruited supplicants guarding the cave noticed anything unusual.

This shows that Zhang Gui's various abilities, which had been elevated to 'Divine Ability Power', were also more extraordinary simply in terms of grade.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Yin appeared truly unfathomable, he might not have needed to be so cautious.

But the divine power permeated the metal cave without burning 'Substance and Void' to change sovereignty as Zhang Gui had guessed beforehand.

Instead, it began to use 'Exchange', one of the three fundamental rules of the Capital Element, to transform into some unknown mysterious power released by the metal cave.

They began to fuse with each other.

"This should be a divine power attribute of 'Craftsman' or 'Industry'!

It is the 'Path to Godhood' left behind in his works by the world-shaking master Song Yingxing over three hundred years ago!

It is a pity he failed."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Gui slowly had new conjectures amidst his constantly strengthening sensing.

"This final and best 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' is completely different from Master Song's other works.

It is equivalent to a product of another level.

Of course, it is also possible that the top three of the thirty-six 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' are all unique.

That would mean Song Yingxing was even closer to the Eastern divine 'Dao Fruit' than I imagined.

It is just a pity that Tiankui and Tianji have already vanished into the dust of history and can no longer be verified.

In fact, if it weren't for the 'Exchange' rule of my Capital Element, which can now not only convert material attributes to a limited extent.

But can also convert energy, including divine power, to a limited extent.

I am afraid the truth of 'Heavenly Firmament' would not have been unearthed so easily."

While Zhang Gui was deep in thought and making bold assumptions, the millions of 'Substance and Void' he had stored were also being consumed in massive quantities.

Finally, only less than twenty percent remained, and the mysterious power converted through the 'Exchange' rule of the Capital Element finally hooked up with the mysterious power released by the metal cave.

Thus, the Heavenly Firmament 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' finally had a true owner.

This also showed that Mr. Yin was not as unfathomable as Zhang Gui had imagined, otherwise he would not have waited in vain for three days and three nights by the metal cave.

Because without the combination of Zhang Gui's Territorial Divine Authority and the unique rule capabilities of the Capital Element as a connecting key.

Then only the Heavenly Firmament 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' could create Metal Heavenly Craft.

And then, only when the Heavenly Craft built the first functional building would there be an opportunity to complete the so-called 'recognition of a master'.

"This is finally a success!

The usage process of the Heavenly Firmament Heavenly Craft Opening All Things is much more special than the Heavenly Leisure grade.

In the future, if there are such sets of 'Marvels', one must really pay attention to this point.

Marvels are Marvels; if they aren't strange and unique, can they still be called 'Marvels'? Hahaha..."

The 'stealing the chicken' he had anticipated finally succeeded, and Zhang Gui felt a burst of wild joy in his heart, finally swallowing the tea in his mouth.

He opened his eyes.

He saw old Lü sitting across from him at the tea table, actually waiting until he began to tilt his head and doze off.

The other guests around were also sitting in a slumped posture, bored to death.

He set his mind at ease and closed his eyes again.

Not to mention the divine power attribute of 'Craftsman' it came with, the Marvel numbered 'Heavenly Firmament. Unrivaled' was more than a hundred times stronger in functionality than the 'Heavenly Leisure. A-Superior' Heavenly Craft Opening All Things that had turned into the Shishi Capital.

And now, Zhang Gui's supernatural power had also undergone a fundamental improvement compared to when he built the Shishi Capital.

Using the Marvel to build a city again, even by remote control, had become easy.

However, he did not pack up the metal cave and move it to a different location after openly snatching it.

Because sensing revealed that, unlike the 'Heavenly Leisure. A-Superior' which only had the construction scale of a superior county.

The rules for building a city with 'Heavenly Firmament. Unrivaled' secretly matched the ancient classic 'Imperial Ultimate World Age' of the Dongsheng Continent.

Even the planning was not a one-time effort.

First, one had to build twenty-nine towns and villages and one county city to form a county.

Then build eleven counties and one commandery city to form a commandery.

Then build twelve commanderies to form a capital.

And this was not the end; one had to do it all over again in reverse.

First, plan out the vast territory of a capital.

Then divide it into twelve commanderies.

Then divide each commandery into twenty-nine towns and villages and one county city, and finally fill them in one by one.

From a practical point of view, this approach was completely 'taking off one's pants to fart', adding I don't know how many unnecessary steps.

But once a matter involved the fruit status of Dongsheng and the divine authority of the West, nothing strange was strange.

Because looking at the ancient ancestors and gods through the eyes of mortals is like looking at humans through the eyes of monkeys.

It is completely meaningless.

And the entire 'Heavenly Firmament' creation process had to be built in batches, which meant there was no real starting point for construction.

Therefore, combining the existing new conditions and deep thought, Zhang Gui finally decided to plan according to his needs.

Overall, the matter was divided into two ends.

One end was at the metal cave location set by Mr. Yin.

The other end was along the 'Longzhu River', which had water transport connections with the Shishi Capital.

Taking these two starting points as the two poles.

Select the appropriate maps that came with 'Heavenly Firmament', build a city belt like building blocks, and thicken it bit by bit.

Until a situation of 'two capitals' opposing each other was formed.

With the overall plan in place, Zhang Gui remotely controlled the Marvel and started a regional scan.

And while starting the construction mode, he began to fully sense the entire Giant Serpent Head Island.

"Generally suitable white;

Red, which is more suitable for construction, is white again, and still white...

Hey, fortunately, there is almost no black that is unsuitable for human settlement..."

He skipped over the land of Giant Serpent Head Island, sensing it quickly, one hundred miles by one hundred miles...

It was about twenty percent white, seventy percent red, and five percent purple, which was very suitable for construction.

But yellow, which was extremely suitable for construction, never appeared.

However, unlike the last Heavenly Leisure 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things', 'Heavenly Firmament' also had the function of slightly modifying the terrain and landforms.

Improving the suitability of the city-building location.

Of course, everything has its pros and cons, so the construction time would increase significantly.

For this reason, Zhang Gui was quite conflicted, but ultimately, because his personality was always seeking stability and he did not like to be eager for quick success unless necessary.

He still decided to choose to improve the landforms and extend the construction cycle.

Just like that, he daydreamed for a while.

He felt a huge psychological satisfaction, as if he were playing the newest, most complex, most simulated, and at the same time most difficult to operate, yet most fun game from his previous life.

He obtained a tremendous sense of psychological satisfaction.
