Chapter 318: The Pope wants to buy grain from us

After interrogating those surrendered demons, everyone had a deeper understanding of the current situation of the planes.

"Oh my, I was careless. We fell into a fixed mindset, thinking the major planes were still like they used to be, filled with powerful existences. I didn't expect the major planes to be so pathetic now. There isn't a single Monarch-level one left; the rest are all these stinking fish and rotten shrimp. Even a Great Demon dares to launch a plane raid," said Negris.

Different systems have different level classifications. Most of the Abyss plane are demons, so their Demon Monarchs are equivalent to their gods.

At the level of gods, strength varies greatly. Some weak gods can't even beat a Great Demon, while some powerful gods can create new worlds.

And those missing Monarchs: "They were all finished off by a purple-gold skeleton."

"Luoke?!" A name popped into everyone's mind.

"No, it's not necessarily Luoke. Have you forgotten the other purple-gold skeleton that followed the King?" Negris asked.

Lamo said hesitantly: "But, there was no second purple-gold skeleton by the King's side. In the original Empire, there was only Lord Luoke as a Lord of Death. His Majesty did have a small pet, but it wasn't a skeleton."

"But the little demon insists there was a second one because it knows Luoke. That purple-gold skeleton wasn't Luoke. If you don't believe me, ask it."

The Lord of Terror, called the little demon, had its monument carried over and propped onto the ground.

The little demon earnestly described the situation at the time and repeatedly guaranteed that the purple-gold skeleton was not Luoke. Combined with the accounts of the captured demons, it could be confirmed that the skeleton was indeed not Luoke.

"In other words, His Majesty has two Lords of Death under his command, and the second Lord of Death went to the Abyss and killed all the Demon Monarchs?" Anthony summarized.

"Do you think it's possible that His Majesty sent both Lords of Death out? Luoke went to kill the gods and archangels, and the other went to kill the Abyss Monarchs? Otherwise, where did the Goddess of Harvest go?" Negris speculated.

"Hiss..." This conjecture is quite explosive. The Undead King was doing fine, so why would he kill all the gods and Monarchs?

Of course, these are just guesses; no one knows if they are true. Anyway, the current situation is that the Abyss has no Monarchs, Lords act as kings, and a single Great Demon dares to run rampant.

"Failure, what a failure. The Light Church's intelligence system is too much of a failure. Such important intelligence hasn't been discovered even now." Anthony was heartbroken.

"Maybe it wasn't undiscovered; maybe it was discovered, but deliberately hidden away to be monopolized," Lisa guessed.

"Right." Anthony was heartbroken: "That's exactly what I wanted to do. If I had known this situation, I would have deployed my subordinates to the Abyss plane long ago."

After a bout of regret, Anthony turned to Ang and asked: "My lord, can we keep the World Transit Station open now?"

Ang shook his head.

Anthony had long expected Ang to refuse; the World Transit Station couldn't be used to grow vegetables, so why waste magic crystals keeping it open?

"Then can I borrow it occasionally? When transferring large amounts of supplies," Anthony asked.

Ang nodded: "Can, everyone can, Yinbi can."

"That's awesome!" Lisa was the first to jump up: "I want to move Meishencheng back, no, rebuild one."

"Heavens, this way all our territories can be connected into a whole."

Ang's current sphere of influence is all scattered points. Aside from the Oasis Underside City and the City of the Goddess of Beauty being able to connect, every other place requires crossing planes, making communication and exchange truly too troublesome.

If everyone can use the World Transit Station, it's equivalent to having a cheap means of transportation. All places can exchange what they have for what they lack. The grain from the Pale Sea plane and Dragonfall Lake can supply all places, so the Rest Abyss doesn't need to spend more costs to grow grain, saving both manpower and effort.

In the Pale Sea plane, under the management of the Goddess of Harvest's believers, the cost of grain cultivation is super low. If the cultivation cost there is 'one', then the cultivation cost in the Rest Abyss is 'twenty'. The gap is huge. Even if it costs some magic crystals to transport it over, it's still more cost-effective than growing it in the Rest Abyss.

The environment, terrain, mineral deposits, and climate of each territory are different. The best way is to complement each other's strengths, rather than growing grain in every place.

The Goblins have a famous saying: If you want to earn gold coins, build the Golden Road first. The World Transit Station is a shining Golden Road.

When everyone learned of this news, especially Yinbi in the Land of Sinking, he immediately contacted Anthony through Ang:

"Lord Anthony, what should we do now? Has your grain problem been solved?"

"No, those demons didn't have much grain to begin with. The things traded in the early stages were all swindled back by them."

"So that's how it is. Lord Anthony, I learned that you are in urgent need of grain. I was truly anxious, couldn't sleep all night, racked my brains, and was so anxious that blisters formed on my mouth." When talking to Anthony, Yinbi wasn't as concise as when he was with Ang, rambling on for a long time without getting to the point.

Anthony's eyes narrowed: I believe your ghost.

"So that night I counted this year's grain production, then counted the consumption for the next season, and found a surplus of 150,000 tons of grain..."

Before Yinbi finished speaking, Anthony subconsciously wanted to pounce forward: "Sell it to me."

"That's what I thought too. Lord Anthony's business is my, Yinbi's, business. I'm anxious..." Yinbi started rambling again.

"I owe you a favor." Anthony naturally knew what this profiteer was doing and quickly interrupted him.

"My lord is too polite. I immediately went to discuss it with the Great Sage. He refused. He said he doesn't lack money, doesn't want books, doesn't eat fruit, doesn't play with handsome men and beautiful women, doesn't need slaves, doesn't..."

Anthony's head immediately started aching. This is truly having no desires.

Undead creatures have always been known for being difficult to deal with. He is better off; he was originally reincarnated from a human. First reincarnated as an undead, although he has no interest in eating and drinking, his interest in entertainment has greatly increased because it's too boring.

But for those native undead creatures, the situation is different. Like Bonehard Luoke, he can sleep for hundreds of years. If His Majesty doesn't call him up to fight, he won't get up. He has no needs at all.

Of course, undead creatures still have needs, such as soul crystals, but where would Anthony get soul crystals? If there really were that many soul crystals, it would be better to give them to Ang to activate the Instant Death Aura, which could grow tens of thousands of tons of grain in minutes.

Thinking until his head ached, he simply stopped thinking. Yinbi has been with the Great Sage for a long time and knows better what the other party wants. He said a lot, but it was just to show how much work he had done and how difficult it was, wanting to squeeze out more oil and water. Anthony is not used to this bad habit of his.

"If you don't say it, I'll send people to plug the sewers of the manors and firms I mortgaged to you with mud, glue the keyholes, fill the water tanks inside with feces, and then put a few nests of termites in."

"...... You're ruthless." Yinbi gritted his teeth and said: "I said I could let the client collect some news about the Rest Abyss, and the Great Sage agreed. The problem now is, what news about the Rest Abyss can we reveal?"

"Ku Ba Da! Profiteer."

"Profiteer!"

The first sentence was Negris cursing, the second was Anthony cursing.

The Rest Abyss is theirs now, and the one buying grain is also them. Revealing what news is also decided by them. Isn't this equivalent to using the layout of one's own furniture to exchange for a trading right?

"It seems the Great Sage really wants to come back. So what should we do? What news should we reveal to him?"

"Just tell him the World Transit Station stopped, the Wind of Rest blew up, everyone retreated into the underground city, the Lich City is having a famine, and the farmland in the Bingcheng was burned by demons. Reveal the situation before Lord Ang arrived to him."

"That works. Let's simply shovel a bag of soil blown by the Wind of Rest to him to comfort his longing."

"Why don't we just pick him up? Now that there is a World Transit Station, we can completely teleport back without going through the main plane."

"Are you crazy? Can we control Harvey? That's a Lord of Death."

"Uh, that's true. I guess Harvey couldn't possibly be loyal to Ang. Forget it, forget it."

After the discussion, the subsequent things went smoothly. A bag of soil from the Rest Abyss was teleported over. This kind of soil that has been blown by the Wind of Rest for many years cannot be faked. The Great Sage knew it as soon as he touched it.

"Is the Rest Abyss really having a famine? How many people are there now?" the Great Sage asked.

"Five thousand in Lich City, fifty thousand in Frost City, four thousand in Demon Valley. They are indeed suffering from famine; Feilin is even preparing to launch an Undead Scourge. Uh, Feilin is the city lord of Lich City, a lich," Silver Coin said.

The Great Sage nodded: "I believe now that your news is all true. You actually know the name Feilin. He was an employee of the World Transit Station back then. I saw him several times when I projected my consciousness. These guys call our state of consciousness projection something like Watcher. This title is quite appropriate."

Powerful undead creatures like the Great Sage, when bored, occasionally project their consciousness onto some low-level skeletons or zombies, using their bodies to wander around, taking the opportunity to observe the development of the plane. Of course, it's mainly because of boredom.

Not many people can do this. Only a few people like His Majesty, Luoke, Du Luo Ken, the Great Sage, and the Witch have this permission. Once, Luoke projected onto a skeleton and was inexplicably hacked by a team of demons, making him so angry he wanted to go out and take revenge.

Unexpectedly, just after crawling out of the grave, Luo Ge and other Death Knights came back with the demons' heads to report: "My lord, we have avenged you."

"Do I need you to avenge me? I finally got to play a little, and you stole my monster!!!!" Luoke's roar almost shook Luo Ge and the others' souls away.

150,000 tons of grain were stuffed into the teleportation array in batches, and Yinbi personally controlled the teleportation array to teleport them over one by one.

There was no need to move them; they were directly diverted to the main plane and teleported to Anthony's territory. The World Transit Station only acted as a transit point.

But because of this transit, the magic crystals consumed dropped by 80%. Originally, one teleportation required ten magic crystals; now, two teleportations only require two magic crystals.

Anthony immediately distributed the grain, alleviating the grain crisis in several grain-deficient areas.

Ang, who was trimming the World Tree, suddenly stopped, took out his Godhead of Planting, and said to Negris: "It, bigger."

"Bigger again? What did you do?" Negris flew over, looked at the obviously much more vigorous Godhead of Planting, and asked with a frown.

"Grain." Ang said very affirmatively: "Yinbi, grain."

Negris said: "In other words, Yinbi's batch of grain caused your Godhead of Planting to grow?"

Ang nodded. This wasn't the first time the Godhead of Planting had grown. Including the time it was ignited, it was also because of grain. Since then, Ang and Negris had kept an eye on it.

It's just that they didn't expect that this time, even though it was grain grown by Yinbi, it could still grow the Godhead of Planting?

"Could it be that as long as it's grain grown by your believers, it can grow the Godhead of Planting? Can it still be like this? The grain Anthony bought back is obviously to be distributed to the believers of the Light Church. They don't believe in the God of Planting, so why can it grow your godhead?"

Negris muttered in confusion. After a while, he was suddenly shocked: "Ku Ba Da, doesn't this mean the God of Planting stole the power of the Light Gods?"

Ang suddenly raised his hand, and scales flipped up on his palm—Dragon God Transformation. However, Ang didn't fully transform; he just transformed one palm and interrupted it. As the scales retracted, Ang said: "I can transform, twenty-six seconds."

"It increased by three seconds? Why can you use the power of the God of Planting to extend the transformation time of the Dragon God Transformation?" Negris's brow scales were about to twist off:

"Doesn't that mean that as long as the Godhead of Planting continues to grow, you can continue to extend the Dragon God Transformation, or even Luoke's transformation time?"

"And to grow the Godhead of Planting, you just need to grow grain for others to eat? This is quite reasonable. After all, it's the God of Planting. Growing things for others to eat is called the God of Planting. Just growing things others don't eat is the God of Nature."

"Forget it, you don't have grain to verify it now. Hurry up and grow your land. Produce more grain, and we'll try again." Rarely, Negris was the first to advise Ang to grow land. Usually, he would only advise Ang 'don't just grow land'.

Ang nodded. Just as he was about to go back to grow land, Anna ran over in a hurry: "My lord, my lord, something big is wrong. The World Transit Station is being requested to connect by an unknown source."

"Request is a request, what are you panicking about?" Negris said unhappily.

Since it was decided to open the World Transit Station for everyone to use, it meant that it would be opened from time to time. If it's opened too much, it will always be discovered.

Now Negris already knows the situation of the major planes and is no longer worried about the situation of the transit station. The gods and Monarchs have all disappeared. For the remaining Great Demons and the like, if they dare to cross the plane, Paixi can directly hammer them to death.

Everything is prepared, and there is a contingency plan. If someone requests, just ask clearly and then decide how to deal with it. What's there to panic about?

"But, but he said his name is Guli Anni, and he hopes to buy grain from us." Anna said urgently.

"Pfft... what did you say? The Pope wants to buy grain from us? ===== CHAPTER 319 =====
