Chapter 212 The Source of Pollution
"What does the Temple want to do?"
Jade Empire.
A group of senior executives quickly received this shocking news, and their faces became solemn.
The Temple's followers are extremely widespread, and are found in almost every country except the Kingdom of the Dead and the Elf Empire.
Especially since their Jade Empire is almost reaching the point where it can rival the royal power, they cannot help but pay attention to it.
"Opening up a channel to other dimensions is really a big deal."
"I've heard that the Temple has been conquering various planes and competing with the Death Believers for resources. It seems that we still underestimated them."
"It's best to fight, so that we can still gain benefits from it."
Others may not know, but they know it very well.
There is a kind of magic in the temple that can send one's soul into other planes and spread faith in this way.
Because the conditions were harsh, it had always been a small-scale operation, sending only a small number of people over.
Now that the channel has been directly opened, it is conceivable that they will definitely rush in to preach their doctrines in order to occupy more resources.
By then, I’m afraid they won’t be able to suppress it even if they want to.
"What about the other surrounding empires? What's their reaction?"
"Basically, people have been sent to the Holy Empire for negotiations. The passage was opened at the Temple Headquarters. It is said that the Elf Empire will also send people over this time."
"Okay, let's go over and add fuel to the fire. At least we have to guarantee the right to use the passage!"
Anyone can see the importance of that space channel.
No matter how powerful the Temple is, it cannot withstand the combined pressure of several empires. They can even take this opportunity to force the Temple headquarters to withdraw personnel that have spread to other empires.
You have to know that there has been no competition in life magic in recent years. The Temple has established a very large group of believers among the ordinary people by relying on its purification and treatment methods, and the speed of its spread is very terrifying.
Even many smaller countries around have become vassals of the Temple, and they naturally do not want this to continue.
"It was better before. At least there were believers of nature to curb their development."
"Yes, the death believers don't have healing magic, and they can't shake the foundation of the temple. We must think of a way."
"Hasn't there been a Life Church in Qingyuan Province recently? Perhaps we can support them secretly and let them check and balance the expansion of the Holy Temple."
"That's a good idea. Next time you run into someone from the Church of Life, be more considerate and be careful not to let the Holy Temple notice anything."
After the discussion, a group of senior officials left in a hurry to deal with matters related to the space channel. All major countries and forces looked like a storm was about to come.
In contrast.
The mercenary groups and businessmen were much more excited.
In particular, Vix Gold Coin from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce soon received a piece of news that made him extremely excited.
"Magic Stone! They actually found magic stones over there that can replace magic crystals! Great, I can already smell the scent of gold coins!"
At this time, Vickers, with the help of what Rhodes had given him before, had become the director of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, and had received the most crucial information.
In the plane that the temple opens up, there is a magic stone that contains magical power. If it can be purchased in large quantities, the price of the magic crystal can definitely be brought down, greatly reducing the production cost of magic props and equipment.
Coupled with their recently developed secret weapon.
The great era of magic industry is finally coming!
He must report this exciting news to the great Moon Goddess.
Think of this.
Vickers hurried back to his room and prayed devoutly to the gold-inlaid statue of the Moon God as usual.
……
Dreamwood.
On the altar of the moon goddess.
A flash of light passed, and Rhodes' consciousness returned to his body, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Huh? The Moon Spring has risen so much in the past few days?"
Rhodes looked at the Moon Well in amazement. The spring water was already ankle-deep and was increasing much faster than before, almost enough to fill a dozen buckets.
There are also a lot more spiritual light spots floating above.
However, Rhode didn't have time to pay attention to it. Instead, he got up and found Erin to ask her about the recent situation outside, especially about the space channel.
as predicted.
Just as he guessed, it was really caused by the temple over there.
"Our Majesty has already sent the Second Elder to negotiate, and other empires will also jointly exert pressure. By then, the Temple should be able to give in and open the passage."
Irene returned to the Elf Empire and told everyone what she knew.
Augula, who was passing by, stopped and said curiously, "Are those charlatans who believe in the sun god really willing to hand over the right to use the passage?"
His words also raised Rhodes's question.
"So what if they don't want to?" Erin snorted. "No matter how powerful they are, they can never be a match for the major empires. They have become so arrogant because they have no competitors in recent years. It's time to charge them some interest."
Yilin was not impressed by those charlatans and even felt a little annoyed with them.
Before, I even wanted to set up a temple branch in the Elf Empire to spread the doctrine. It was really a foolish dream.
Hearing her words, Rhodes felt relieved.
With other empires keeping it at bay, the Spider Kingdom shouldn't be affected too much. Instead, it will develop and become a trade hub between the two worlds.
As for how the local forces on both sides fight, it is not something he can control, and he is too lazy to care.
"correct."
At this time, Augla changed the subject: "Lord Rhodes, you have been there for so many days. Have you found a way to completely solve the problem of black soil?"
"No." Rhodes shook his head helplessly.
He thought he would find information about the black soil in the plane where the Weaver once lived, but he didn't gain anything along the way.
He even had doubts. He thought that his entry into that plane was just a coincidence, or the Dream Weaver wanted him to help look after the Spider Demon Clan.
"I don't think it's that simple."
Irene pondered and said, "It is said that the wisdom of the Dream Weaver is second only to that of the Moon God. It is impossible that he is just doing this for his own descendants. Can you tell me more about what is special about that plane? Maybe it hides very important information."
"What's so special about it..."
Rhode stroked his chin, lost in thought, and then his eyes lit up: "The most special thing is that that plane, like the Dream Forest, was polluted by some force three hundred years ago, and the pollution stopped at only halfway."
“The pollution stopped halfway?”
Augla and Irene looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of such a situation, and they couldn't think of any difference for a moment.
"What about the source of the pollution? Since it all happened three hundred years ago, could it be the same source as the black soil?"
Alpha's voice suddenly sounded.
I saw him walking towards me from a distance.
His words also startled Rhodes and the other two, and they finally thought of the most crucial point.
Source of pollution!
Since the pollution stopped at the gray border, couldn't they trace it back to the source of this corrosive force?
Perhaps that is the important message that the Dream Weaver left for them!
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look after I finish things here." Rhodes made a decision quickly.
After all, he had heard from the Spider Demon Princess that the deepest part of the Gray Border was extremely polluted, and those with low strength would not be able to last long if they entered. They would need to at least reach the fifth-order advanced profession.
Therefore, he could take this opportunity to stay in the woods and work hard to upgrade, and repair all the remaining statues at the same time.
Only in this way can we strengthen the connection between the Dream Forest and other planes and go to farther places.
After chatting with Augla and the others about some other things, Rhodes left the altar and went outside to check on the plantations and wheat crops.
After this period of cultivation.
The planting area around the altar has been turned into a seed cultivation base, and the crops produced are basically used as seeds and handed over to city residents outside for planting.
So in addition to the original wheat and cabbage, there are also more crops such as soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton, and the entire planting area looks much richer.
However, the one that grows the most vigorously is the little Masochistic tree.
It has only been a few days since I last saw it, but it has grown to a height of nearly fifty meters. Its outstretched branches and leaves are like a giant umbrella, attracting many nature spirits to live on it.
Thick roots spread out, up and down, and it seems to have become a secret base for the little ones to play.
"Yeah!"
Suddenly, the little thing's cry was heard.
When Rhodes left the plantation and came outside, he saw the little creatures gathered under the Dragon's Nest Holy Tree, looking up at the tree tumors hanging on it.
Even the giant dragons of life hovering in the air fell to the ground one after another, all looking eagerly expectant.
"Is she going to be born?"
Rhodes was delighted and hurried over.
Just when I got halfway there, I heard a "pop" sound, and the tree tumor cracked open, and a small green head struggled to stick out from it.
Then it dropped to the ground with a thud, then stood up tremblingly.
It turned out to be a newly born giant baby dragon!
"Success!"
"Great! Our dragon of life has finally been extended!"
"Quick, go and call back the other tribesmen!"
The elders of the giant dragons were extremely excited and carefully protected the baby dragon.
The little ones were watching curiously from the side, poking the baby from time to time, and then crying with joy.
After a while.
The other life dragons came back.
Even giant dragons from other systems came over and immediately surrounded the open space, making it impossible to get in or out.
"Where is it? Where is the dragon cub?"
"Let me see it quickly!"
"Don't crowd, don't crowd at all!"
"If you want cubs, can't you give birth to them yourself?"
The dragon clan is still very concerned about the birth of offspring. After all, their breeding cycle is very long, and a dragon may only give birth to one baby in its lifetime.
If you are lucky, you can have three or four babies in one birth. If you are unlucky, it would be good enough to have just one.
So you can imagine how sad the dragons of other systems were at this moment. Even Alpha, who usually didn't care much about these things, ran over to take a look.
Upon seeing this, the young chief of the Life Dragon raised his head haughtily.
"Don't look at it. You can't envy such a thing. You'd better hurry back to the nest and continue mating now."
The other dragons froze when they heard this.
Do you think they haven't worked hard during this period?
In order to strengthen their population again, they have been mating almost every night, and only a month has passed. How could it be so fast?
Now that they were provoked again, there was no time for them to waste. They all flew away from the open space cursing and rushed back to their nests to pay their dues.
The hurried coming and going made Rhodes stunned.
Is this all competitive?
