Chapter 324: Chapter 277: Dormancy
The sky was torn apart.
Endless colors painted the whole sky and earth, reflecting the traces of the laws.
On the Plane Crystal Wall, a massive black hole expanded, drawing in countless materials, while countless void materials filled into this black hole.
"How dare you! Who dares enter my domain!"
"Endure my wrath!"
"Arrogant outsiders, become the nourishment of my kingdom!"
Each Divine Kingdom clung to the Crystal Wall like a leeching cyst, constantly absorbing the plane’s nutrients to grow.
The gods!
The gods of this plane!
However, at this moment, outside the hole in the Plane Crystal Wall, a terrifying aura emerged, with a deep darkness and a brilliant white light shining through.
This aura suppressed everything; the laws mastered by these gods compared to this black and white were like ants to a blue whale.
In an instant, these gods who were just furious shrank back into their Divine Kingdoms like quails, motionless, as if dead.
And at this time, mortals suddenly discovered...
Their prayers were no longer working!
Shortly after the appearance of the rift in the Crystal Wall, an even more terrifying aura emerged.
A vivid streak of red appeared in the rift, transforming into a large mass of light, falling toward the continent below, with faint, terrifying roars and whispers emanating from within.
"...%&##?/×..."
The sound spread across the continent, and those with the language comprehension spell immediately heard the roar of that presence:
"I will... lead the charge!"
Lead the charge!
What does it mean to charge?
Is it referring to those weak ones who can only be used as mages’ retinues, the knights?!
This terrifying light plummeted directly toward the northwest of the continent, all life on the continent saw this red light.
However, it did not stop there.
Following this red light came more lights.
Some lights appeared like a fierce ancient giant beast, some like solid ice, some transformed into a deep ocean...
This day was referred to as the "Faser’s Dusk."
This was the end of the Faser Continent, and also the twilight of the gods.
...
A rocky Gobi Desert, not a blade of grass growing.
On one of the Gobi, a red light fell like a meteor, stirring up dust, leaving behind a mysterious magic circle.
Lin Ke looked up and around, "Is this the Faser Plane?"
He stood up, moving his body slightly.
Having just been teleported here, it was his first time experiencing such random teleportation.
To him, it felt as if he had turned into a meteor crashing down, his body feeling somewhat sore.
The Faser Plane was one of the planes captured by the Insomnia Emperor, but he had no time to conquer and develop it, leaving it to gather dust in his collection.
So the way Lin Ke and the others entered was through random teleportation, with each team randomly teleported.
The place they arrived at seemed like a Gobi Desert, open and flat, but no living creatures in sight.
"Young master, what do we do now..."
John stepped forward to ask in a low voice, glancing back at the others who were adjusting their breath.
"Let’s move on, head east." Lin Ke determined the direction, then pointed east.
According to some rules of the planes, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and water flows from west to east under gravity.
Even though these rules might not apply to every plane, physics generally does.
Based on the local environment, it was easy for Lin Ke to determine the east.
Turning around, fifty Black and White Knights stood firmly on the ground, while Lin Ke’s People’s Knight Order had just finished resting, and the other Gula Nobility were scattered about.
The plump Count of Tulip managed to recover quickly, curiously examining the surroundings, but upon realizing everything had nothing to do with plants, lost interest.
He approached Lin Ke and asked directly, "Count Linke, when do we set out? I’m ready to discover new plants!"
New plants!
This was what the Count of Tulip was interested in.
Lin Ke naturally knew the Count of Tulip’s interest, but at this moment, focusing on plant life was not his priority; survival was.
Yes, survival!
More precisely, Lin Ke needed to lie low!
Despite appearing so flamboyant externally, in reality, it was just bluffing.
They feared the charge of the Black and White Knights, not him, Lin Ke.
The Black and White Knights would only assist him three times; no one knew this.
Therefore, he planned to wait for other forces to engage and exhaust themselves while he quietly trained the People’s Knight Order in a secluded corner and improved himself.
This idea was known by everyone in the People’s Knight Order.
So Lin Ke directly addressed the other Gula Nobility, including the Count of Tulip: "I plan to find a place to build a fortress and a city, to start a tug-of-war! Collision and friction with this sub-plane will happen, but this noble council isn’t just mindless fighting.
So... those willing to build a fortress and a city with me can come along, those who want to do other things, feel free to do so!"
Lin Ke spoke loudly, and his voice was transmitted through the reflection law of the Prince of Stars, letting the people of Naseng hear, causing amazement on their side.
However, many who knew Lin Ke thought for a moment, why was Count Linke famous?
It was originally because of a war he participated in as a child?
And that war directly led to the Great Wilderness City’s "Great Wall" fortress being rated as an epic structure.
Now, Count Linke arrives at a place, and instead of thinking about conquering a location immediately, he wants to establish a base and then gradually expand, devouring the plane.
What grand ambition!
Countless wise men were amazed and admired Lin Ke’s vision.
Of course, Lin Ke was only thinking about lying low, not any grand schemes.
But, he couldn’t say that outright.
If he admitted he was cowardly and couldn’t fight against the star-level powers,
the morale that he had just boosted in the Gula Kingdom and among the Human Race could collapse and become a laughingstock.
However...
Lin Ke’s plan this time wasn’t purely about warfare.
Training troops was one aspect, but another crucial reason was to experiment with new methods of waging war on a plane.
For example...
Trade!
As long as a place doesn’t go into complete isolation, trade can be leveraged to open up a situation.
In a previous life, the trade of many large forces could completely determine the survival of small forces, especially the hegemonic powers.
Naseng’s path of external expansion primarily involved invasion, occupation, and continuous blood-sucking.
The history of Naseng becoming the Main Plane is a history of blood and fire warfare.
So, Lin Ke also wanted to take this opportunity to explore different paths.
The more roads there are, the more choices Naseng will have in the future!
