Chapter 1339
"Uh, I was just joking. You're doing it for real? How to launch them? It sounds so exciting," Negris said, somewhat surprised and somewhat excited.
He was just saying it casually, but Ang had already started moving. Could it be that he had sparked some inspiration in him? Launching the small tree-men? Just thinking about it was exciting.
Ang scooped up everyone and, with a soul shift, arrived at the edge of the Boundless Great Void, at the main body of the Star of the Azure God.
A huge Star Burst array was being built at a rapid speed and was already taking shape.
"Eh? The first ring is almost closed? How is it being built so fast?" Negris said in surprise.
Du Luo Ken and Deity Diluni were coming up to meet them and said upon hearing this, "Fast? It's not fast anymore, right? You don't even look at who the construction workers are."
Who are they? Negris looked over and saw some Mourning Undead soldiers, some Star-born, a Mourning Bone Dragon, several White Dragons, and countless undead creatures.
Those undead creatures were not stiff and dull zombies or skeletons, but Liches and undead who skillfully used tools and piloted flying cars and airships.
"The Old Immortal even transferred the intelligent undead from the Undead City? No wonder the progress is so fast," Negris said.
Tens of thousands of tireless intelligent undead working day and night, the progress was naturally fast. There were also so many Star-born, Mourning Undead soldiers, etc., and even the Mourning Bone Dragon acting as heavy labor. The lineup was indeed luxurious.
Sensing Ang's arrival, Lisa, who hurriedly soul-shifted over, said angrily upon hearing this, "What 'transferred'? His Majesty hasn't managed anything at all, okay? I've been managing it the whole time. He just threw down a mark and ran away, and he doesn't even pay me a salary, so I had no choice but to transfer his people over to earn a salary."
Negris glanced at that mark and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Undead King Mark. This has already been given to you, what else do you want? Holding this mark, you are the Undead King. If you want them to die, these tens of thousands of undead creatures will collapse on the spot. How cool is that?"
"Then it's yours." Lisa shoved the Undead King Mark in front of Negris.
Negris hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't want it, don't want it, take it away, take it away."
The mark that sounded mighty and domineering was a hot potato for both Lisa and Negris. Although tens of thousands of intelligent undead were rare, they were very chicken-rib-like within Ang's current system. Besides being used to expand the soul network, they could only act as coolies.
In terms of combat power, they couldn't compare to the Star-born, and their movement speed was even worse by tens of thousands of kilometers. Basically, they couldn't move in the void. Lisa letting them come to repair the Star Burst array was indeed the best way to utilize their abilities—tireless construction workers who didn't need to breathe or eat, working day and night.
After firmly pushing the Undead King Mark back, Negris said, "What about the materials? How to solve it? No matter how many of them there are, they can't help you move materials, right?"
"Just use the carbon slag left by those vines before. It's right next to us; just pack it up and let the ones that can fly drag it." Lisa pointed to the vine carbon slag next to the Star Burst array and continued, "I heard my lord also got a piece of carbon slag from the World-Supporting Divine Tree. When will it arrive?"
"I don't know either, ask..." Looking back, Ang had already run far away. Negris and Anthony looked at each other and stayed behind helplessly; anyway, it wasn't the first time.
Ang didn't like managing things, and no one would want to manage them if they were in his place. He was the source of the void. If you reported to him how many people were recruited today, how much rice was eaten, and how much salary was paid, it would be strange if he paid any attention to you.
Therefore, Silver Coin basically reported in the soul network, and it was becoming more and more brief, mainly reporting how much money was earned. However, Ang basically ignored it too.
But Lisa couldn't ignore it. She was the big housekeeper of the entire system. Ang and these few didn't manage things, and all the big and small affairs were pressed onto her. And they wouldn't let her report?
"If I don't report clearly, how will you know how much I've done and how hard it is?! Stand still and listen clearly!" Last time, when Negris told her to decide for herself and not report, she roared back like this. So, seeing Lisa, Ang quietly ran away, and the two of them could only stand still and listen to the report.
Anthony thought for a moment and said, "We don't know when it will arrive either. Anyway, if the materials here are not enough, just shout 'My lord, save me,' and he will come to save you."
"Giving bad advice. Next time I really need to be saved and shout, my lord won't care about me. Anyway, it's not my business if the materials are not enough. I was just asking casually. Du Luo Ken said the new materials my lord got have higher strength than these carbon slags. I'm curious how much higher they can be; these carbon slags are already so strong," Lisa said curiously.
Anthony glared at Du Luo Ken on the side and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense; he just wants to play with the new materials quickly and said it on purpose. These carbon slags are the residue after the Guman Snake vines were carbonized. Their strength is no different from the carbon slag of the World-Supporting Divine Tree, but because of the way they were formed, there are some differences in their properties."
"The new materials are residual branches of the World-Supporting Divine Tree, slowly carbonized under the long-term irradiation of divine light. Because they were carbonized layer by layer, they are layered. Now these are directly burned; one knock and they are all powder. There are many other material science characteristics, but in terms of strength, there is no difference," Anthony explained patiently.
"Oh." There was indeed no difference. Lisa felt a headache just hearing it and hurriedly changed the subject: "Mixing these carbon slags requires a lot of water, and also limestone. The temperature in the void is too low; it's easy to raise the temperature but difficult to control the water. I want to let the Pure Water Spirits come out."
"No problem. Wait a moment and ask my lord to take out their consciousness. But can you produce pure water now?" Anthony asked.
Ang could produce pure water, but he couldn't do everything. This would be detrimental to the growth of the entire system and would become a place that raised lazy people.
Du Luo Ken interjected: "Yes, that Xisilu has successfully developed a pure water purifier. Mysticism is really a magical doctrine; it is naturally opposed to my alchemy, but he succeeded. It's really..."
Du Luo Ken didn't know how to complain. The purpose of mysticism is: I don't know the principle, but I succeeded anyway; the purpose of alchemy is: because the principle is like this, I succeeded.
For an Alchemy King like Du Luo Ken, Xisilu's mysticism was equivalent to adding some fingernails and hair to a carefully refined potion, and then it succeeded. It was simply nonsense.
But the problem was, it succeeded.
Anthony hurriedly comforted him: "All mysticism is unverified alchemy; don't get hung up on it."
Just kidding, if everything had to be explained by principles, then what would theology be for? All of Ang's divine arts were the least principle-based.
"But..." Before Du Luo Ken finished speaking, a wave of vibration suddenly came from afar. This was a spatial vibration; it seemed that some space was exploding, forming ripples and spreading outward.
Negris's expression changed: "Not good, Ang has already started launching the small tree-men."
