The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 497 Target, Night Sky

Looking at that familiar figure, who had traveled through a hundred years and stood before them again, facing the holy light, the demigods felt a little dazed and even a little restrained for a moment.

Seeing that the demigods did not react, Marika smiled slightly, then suddenly opened her blue cloak and shouted:
"Kids, I'm back!"

The demigods were startled and glanced away quickly, but they were a step too late.

Under the cloak, Marika was wearing the familiar black cloth long skirt and slim top, which set off her slender yet plump figure.

No one noticed how Malika put on her clothes, they just knew that they were tricked by Queen Malika again.

Queen Marika smiled, her brows curved into a crescent shape with a hint of teasing.

The heirs knew that Queen Marika was also playful, but they didn't expect her to be so lively and full of youthful energy right after she escaped.

Malika looked at the children and said with a smile, "My husband is back, and you are still alive. It seems that you have managed the border area very well."

"Thanks to the help of a noble person." Michaela walked forward and said to Marika, kissing the back of her mother's hand.

"I can see that." Marika looked at the grown-up Michaela, "Oh? You became a god, and the Horned Man returned?"

“Mother is very predictable,” Michaela said.

Marika touched Michaela's head:

"When I come back, I'll talk to you about it."

"Are you going?" Michaela asked.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to rescue me." Marika looked at the ruins around Rodel, "The dynasty has been destroyed."

"Hmm..." Everyone thought about it. If Rodel was still alive, the star shower that occurred when fighting against the two fingers should still destroy Rodel. It couldn't be considered wrong.

Marika slowly flew up:
"I'll go and heal the wounded."

As she spoke, Marika flew into the sky, and the holy light around her became more and more blazing, attracting everyone's attention.

The spiral tree behind Marika was shining with golden light, and the blessed light spread along the tree canopy that covered half of the border area, and spread to the entire border area.

The earth, baptized by flames and falling stars, rapidly recovered its vitality, new shoots sprouted from the scorched earth, and wounds disappeared from the body.

Everyone realized it—Queen Malika had returned.

The panic and grief after experiencing the falling star disappeared almost instantly.

Man Yue raised her head and looked at the dazzling Marika, feeling a little lonely.

She knew that the red-haired monster would never come back. At the border now, there was only the great mother goddess who was peerless, high-spirited, and nurturing all things.

The full moon lowered its eyes and no longer looked at the Holy Light.

The holy light landed next to the full moon.

Marika put her hands on her hips and said with a smile:

"Lena, long time no see."

Lenara felt a little uncomfortable and nodded coldly without responding.

Malika lifted up her full moon robe, revealing the plump curves of her calves.

"What are you doing?" Man Yue was startled and quickly pulled down his robe, looking at her with embarrassment.

Marika simply squatted down and looked at the edge of Reinara's skirt:

"Your robe is all unraveled, and you don't know how to mend it. Haven't you used the needle and thread I gave you?"

"You gave it to me? It was obviously--" Man Yue was about to retort with embarrassment, but suddenly stopped and realized something.

"You gave it to me..." Man Yue murmured.

When Radagan married into the family, he brought a set of needlework with him and used a golden sewing needle to sew and mend clothes for the children.

"Ladagan is Malika." Malika hugged Man Yue and kissed her cheek, smiling mischievously, "My dear wife, are you so sad without me?"

A blush rose on Man Yue's face: "You!"

Man Yue swung his staff and a broom star blasted over.

Marika opened her palms, and the holy light turned into a spear, colliding with the broom star. The interweaving of holy light and magic power reflected the full moon and Marika's face.

Man Yue was a little dazed for a moment, as if time had gone back to the past, when she and Radagan fought for the first time on the battlefield and also met for the first time. This was the scene now.

Man Yue wanted to take a closer look, but Marika had already disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Man Yue felt something warm and soft against her back. Marika gently put her arms around Man Yue's waist from behind and leaned close to her ear.

"I know we hurt you deeply," Malika said, "This time, I won't make the wrong choice again, and I won't hide anything from you again."

Man Yue's body trembled slightly:

"you……"

Malika kissed the back of Man Yue's neck gently, then jumped in front of her and announced loudly, "The three of us will be together!"

Man Yue's body trembled: "You!"

Marica said to Ge Fulei beside her:

"My king, can I marry Lenara?"

"This..." Ge Fulei was a little embarrassed, "But you will marry her anyway, right?"

"I'm the queen. What's wrong with having three wives and four concubines? This is called monogamy." Marika put her hands on her waist, looking very coquettish.

"That's fine with me," said Graveley.

Marika turned back to Man Yue and said:
"Great! The king agrees."

"I haven't agreed yet." Man Yue glared at her.

"But you will agree." Marika walked towards the full moon and gently stroked her hot cheek. "A day of marriage means a hundred days of grace."

Marika whispered in her ear:

"When you figure it out, come find me."

Marika finished, then turned to face the demigod: "Now, tell me, what has happened in the past hundred years?"

Michaela brought Wuming over:

"Thanks to this hero for helping me."

Michaela briefly talked about the outbreak of the Shattered War, the devastation of lives at the border, the stalemate at the border, and the unknown businessman who suddenly appeared and broke the unsolvable situation.

Marika listened with a smile, nodded from time to time, and cast glances of surprise or admiration at Wuming from time to time.

But when she heard about how they slaughtered all five two-fingers, Marika stopped smiling and became serious.

"You killed Two Fingers?" Marika asked.

"Please rest assured that the crisis is over," Michaela said. "Although the losses were heavy, everything is over."

Marika shook her head slightly:
"not that simple."

"That's right, it's not that simple." Lani on the side suddenly spoke up.

"Isn't it over yet?" Wuming was stunned.

"The two fingers at the border have disappeared." Lani pointed to the sky, "but there are still countless two fingers and stars in the night sky. As long as they are still in the sky, if they come one day, it will still be a catastrophic disaster."

"What should we do then?" Wuming asked, "Seal off the starry sky?"

"Then the border is still under the blockade of the Two Fingers." Lani said, "We need to seize air superiority. Only in this way can we completely get rid of the threat of the Two Fingers and the Stars."

Lani clenched her fists:

"We're going to--to the night sky."

"How do we get into the night sky?" Wuming asked.

"My husband and I have already explored the route," said Lani. "I can go to the night sky, wait for us to find a resting place, set up the portal, and bring the others over."

"No." Queen Marika said.

Lani frowned: "Do you still miss this land?"

"That's right. It's really not possible." Man Yue came over. "The traces left by the teleportation will be captured by the stars. They will find the portal in the darkness and come directly. The Eternal City was once destroyed because of this."

Marika said, "And there's no point in finding a new resting place. As long as there's still gravity binding us, we'll have to face the dangers of the stars. The power of a falling star is too great."

Latan raised his hand:
"Why don't we seal off the stars first? Now, whether it's the two fingers or the stars, they need to pass through the seal if they want to come in from the outside. We can build a complete protection system first, and then consider going to the night sky."

Malika thought: "This is indeed the safest solution."

"You don't have time to develop slowly." A voice spoke from the side.

Patch crouched aside, watching their discussion with a playful look on his face.

Marika looked at the spider Patch, identified it for a moment, and was a little surprised: "Patch?"

"Hello, country girl." Pachi greeted Marika.

Marika smiled: "Could it be that the current prosperity of the border area is due to your help?"

"You overestimated me. It was that guy Wuming who did it." said Patch.

Marika restrained her smile:

"You said there is no time. Why?"

Patch glanced at Lani:
"You should ask the little girl from the Kalia family. She went to the night sky before and had no sense of danger. She kept using teleportation and was targeted by an incredible person."

Marika became serious:
"You mean..."

Patch nodded. "If we stay in a defensive position, we can indeed defend against the two fingers and the stars, but the Supreme Will may come at any time. If that guy comes, it will be a piece of cake for him to crush the seal of Latan."

"What should we do then?" Mongert asked anxiously.

After the battle of Two Fingers, Monggot had a deep understanding of the strength of the stars, which was a huge terror that could not be ignored.

Wuming said: "It's time to end your clan's gathering. Gather your allies in the border areas and brainstorm. You are not the only smart ones."

Wuming took the lead and summoned sages from all tribes to discuss matters.

Everyone was eager to cooperate when they saw Queen Malika reappear.

The old woman from the horn tribe also came and saw Malika with anger in her eyes.

The source of the thousand years of suffering of the Horned People is this woman, and the old woman really can’t let it go.

"Malika, you evil woman." The old woman walked up to Malika with her cane, "You betrayed us."

"I am a witch." Marika said, "The Horned People slaughtered my people, and I slaughtered your people. Now we have to work together to solve the problem of survival. We can settle the past later."

Malika ended the topic with one sentence and brought the issue back to the present.

To address the threat from the night sky.

All the plans of retreating were rejected, considering that the Eternal City was originally located underground and was completely destroyed by Esti, and there was no safe place in the border area.

The absolutely stable and safe way is to reconcile with your two fingers and bow to the stars.

But now that things have come to this, and knowing that guidance has been broken, those who aspire to become king are unwilling to choose this path.

"It's not that difficult." Se Lian expressed his opinion, "It's a safe method that doesn't require you to bow down to the stars."

"Oh?" Wuming asked Serui, "What's the plan?"

Serei's eyes were sharp:
"Why don't we become stars too, rise to the sky, and become children of the stars together."

Everyone tacitly ignored Serui's proposal and began discussing the next plan.

Lani believes that the key lies in the dominance of the night sky:
"The reason why the stars are so threatening is that gravity is weak in the night sky, just like a sword hanging in the sky. As long as the falling stars exert a little force to fall from the night sky, they will be attracted by the gravity of the border area, and their speed and power will continue to increase."

Lani said: "But if we can stop the stars in the night sky, we won't have to face the falling stars blessed by the border."

"What should we do if the Supreme Will comes?" asked Patch.

As soon as this question was asked, the discussion fell into silence.

All solutions cannot avoid this ultimate problem, and there is no way to solve this problem.

The Supreme Being is like a huge mountain, pressing down on everyone's heart and silencing all discussions.

Wuming said: "Can we discuss it with Wushang? Maybe he is very generous."

"He's got a lot of heart," Patch said. "You're going to stake the survival of the entire Junction on one man's whim?"

Seeing that no one agreed, Wuming scratched his helmet and said nothing more.

Wuming thought of something again and said:

"From what you said, the Supreme Will also came here on a spaceship?"

Lani said, “If what I saw in the night sky that day was the Supreme Will, that was it.”

"It sounds like he's not that fast, and his vision isn't that broad." Wuming said, "Rani saw a lot of Double Fingers and Esti when she was above the border, right?"

Lani nodded: "In the night sky farther away, I didn't see the blockade of the two fingers and the stars."

Wuming said: "Then can we just abandon the border and run away?"

"I told you, you can't teleport." Lani said, "Teleporting is like opening a hole for those two-fingered stars, allowing those bugs to crawl into your hometown."

"Then there's no need to teleport." Wu Mingzhi pointed his ring finger toward the sky, "Can we just fly away and go somewhere else without teleporting?"

"A spaceship?" Patch said.

Wuming nodded: "Just like the Supreme Will, build a big ship and fly in the night sky. Just like Se Lian said, as long as we can rise to the sky, they will have no advantage. As long as we can move in the night sky like the Children of the Stars, we can also spread out and don't have to worry about being hunted down by the Supreme."

Everyone was silent again, looking down and thinking about Wuming's proposal.

Soon, a pessimistic answer came out.

Lani said: "That would probably require a huge amount of resources."

"And it can't carry many people." Patch said, "How big a spaceship are you going to build? How many people can it carry?"

Man Yue also said: "This is not an adventure, but a matter of survival. If you can only bring a few people, the risk is too great."

Latan said, "And when they break through the sky, they will definitely be obstructed by Two Fingers and the Children of the Stars. The spaceship will probably be attacked, and Lani will also be attacked."

Wuming blinked his eyes: "Can't we bring a few more people and build a few more boats?"

"Too naive." Patch shook his head.

Lani explained to Wuming:

"The threat of falling stars to the junction is due to the gravity of the junction. Similarly, if we want to leave the junction, we also need to resist the gravity of the junction on us."

"This plan is fraught with difficulties, much more difficult than you might imagine," Patch said.

Patch bent the spider's legs and said one by one:
“Just going up into the night sky will consume a huge amount of supplies and energy. The more people you bring, the more it will consume.

"But you can't take too few people with you. The night sky is unpredictable and the risk is huge. The smaller the spaceship, the more likely it is to have an accident. If there is a plague and all the men on the ship die, do you think there is any other way out for the remaining people except waiting to be exterminated?
"Even if you can bring a lot of people, do you think they can handle it? There is a speed requirement for going up to the night sky. The people from the border area have small bodies. If they just rush out of the night sky, countless people will die.

"Besides, the night sky is very empty. It's a long voyage that could take a thousand years. Where does your fuel come from? Where does your vitality come from?
"There are also a large number of double fingers and falling star beasts Esti parked above the border. In the night sky, these guys are the hosts. How do you defend against their attacks?
"Actually, you can't do it. With the current level of education and technology in the border area, you still want to build a spacecraft?"

Patch said six in a row, and the spider legs were almost not enough. Each of them was a difficult problem.

"I'm afraid we can't do it." Marika said, "I've seen the Supreme's spaceship in the Gate of God, and I've also seen Patch's spaceship. There's no such technology in the Borderland."

Wuming's eyes lit up and he looked at Patch:

"You still have a spaceship?"

"Don't come on, I can only bring a few people." Patch said, "Although there are records on how to make it, it will take a long time for people in the border areas to learn this knowledge and reproduce it. The technical barriers in between are greater than you think."

"Is it that difficult?" Wuming said.

Patch said, "For example, if you want to fly into the sky, you need a long and slender boat to resist the air. Just making a boat that is light and strong enough to stand up, more than a few dozen meters long, and not collapse under its own weight, and still fly, is a technical job, and you don't have such materials."

Patch said, "Let alone a ship like this, how long would it take you to build even the frame that holds the ship in place before takeoff? The workload is no less than rebuilding Rodel, and rebuilding Rodel would take years? Do you have the time?"

"What about using gravity stone?" Wuming said.

"There are not so many gravity stones." Patch said, "Besides, the gravity stone is anti-gravity, and the mass of the gravity stone itself is not low. In the night sky, the high mass makes it more difficult to turn, and it consumes more energy. Moreover, the gravity stone is simply anti-gravity, and it is very difficult to control. If you don't do it well, it will cause harm."

Patch sighed:

"After all, you also know the importance of scale. When it comes to going up to the night sky, your scale is far from enough, whether in terms of the level of civilization or the wisdom of the people. This requires accumulation."

“This has been accumulated for thousands of years, isn’t it enough…” Wuming was puzzled.

Malika lowered her eyes:
"My conception of the law is to achieve a complete cycle within the border area. I have never thought about leaving. I may not be able to help you in your current situation."

Wuming listened to Marika's sigh and looked up at the magnificent golden tree. Its huge crown blocked out the sun and sheltered the entire border area for a thousand years, but it also bound the sky of the border area to this piece of world.

Lani made up her mind:

"There are risks, there are risks. Tuofu and I will head to the night sky. Once we find a habitable place, we will open a portal. It may attract the Children of the Stars, but we can find more places and more people. We will keep traveling for thousands of years. As long as there are people who can survive the falling stars, life can grow again."

Lani's words were so tragic that they caused a moment of silence.

Patch smiled and said, "A thousand years? It sounds long, but it's not that long for the night sky. In a thousand years, you might only find ten places. And the others who are waiting there might all die in this thousand years."

Malika saw no way out:
"If it really doesn't work, then you should admit your mistakes to the Supreme Will and accept the punishment. The serious crimes of Broken Ring and Hunting Finger should be pushed onto me. I will be locked up in the Golden Tree, and you will have more time to continue to develop in a dormant state."

"You just came out and you want to go in again?" Ge Fulei was not happy.

"I have done a lot of wrong things, and I deserve to be punished." Marika looked at her children, Mongget, Messermo, and her brother Maliks.

"In the pursuit of perfection, I have hurt many people. When I realized my mistakes, I thought there was no chance to mend the damage. But now I can still come out and see you get out of the predicament. I should be content and feel lucky."

Malika said, "You have grown up. As a mother, I have to learn to bend down and make way for you. I should have understood this when the golden tree began to shed its leaves. Now that the seeds have grown into wood, it is too late for me, an old tree, to rot."

Patch curled his lips:
"The Supreme is here. Even if I forgive you, I will continue to send my two fingers to guide you."

Marika said: "But the position of the new god can be given to Kalia. Kalia inherits the most of the legacy of the Eternal City."

Malika smiled at the full moon:

"Under your leadership, in the next thousand years, we will surely be able to develop a civilization that is capable of leading the border areas to completely break through the blockade and head for the night sky."

Patch remained silent and looked at Wuming:
"What do you think--" Patch was stunned. Wuming looked up at the golden tree. He seemed to have not moved since the conversation with Marika.

"What's wrong?" Patch poked Wuming.

Wuming stretched out his hand and pointed at the golden tree:
"Cylindrical, able to stand up to over several dozen meters without collapsing under its own weight."

Patch was stunned for a moment, followed Wuming's finger, and stared at the golden tree.

This tree is more than dozens of meters tall, it is a towering tree, taller than a mountain.

And within the tree lies the blessing and vitality that Marika once brought after she conquered the entire borderland and unified the world.

"Hiss..." Patch hesitated for a moment, "It seems... okay."

The golden tree is so large that if some space is dug out inside it, it would be enough to accommodate the huge number of creatures in the border area.

This is a natural golden boat, and it has been operated by Mary Karadagon for thousands of years, so it is extremely sturdy.

"Is it possible to use the golden tree to make a spaceship?" Patch asked Marika.

Everyone was shocked by this question.

Growing up at the junction, many people have not thought about how to leave the junction. Growing up under the golden tree, everyone ignores this giant that supports the junction.

Such a grand and rebellious idea could perhaps only be thought of by people who do not belong to the border area.

But once it was proposed, everyone's eyes lit up and countless ideas exploded from their minds.

Lani asked: "But the golden tree is rooted in the earth, how can the tree fly?"

Wuming said: "The golden tree can be carved, and it can be transformed into anything. It can be transformed into weapons and equipment, so it shouldn't be a problem to turn it into a ship, right?"

Wuming asked Marika, and Marika nodded: "Okay."

Patch said, "With such convenient materials, I can provide some drawings. As long as you, Marica, can carve it out exactly as it is, don't worry about the design of the boat. The basic functions will be there, and since the boat is made of trees, many problems will naturally be solved."

"But even so, it still requires a lot of manpower." Marika said, "If we want to leave the border area, will there be so many people willing to help us?"

Wuming said: "If it's human power, we have the dead born."

Hearing the word "Deadborn", Marika looked at Wuming in surprise.

Malika said: "We need to collect runes and supplies from the people. I don't know if they are willing to do so."

Wuming said: "We no longer need runes. We can provide runes collected from all over the place. The allocation of materials is also completely under our control."

Wuming clenched his fist:

"We can build a large spaceship, large enough to accommodate all the people and creatures in the border area. This way, we won't have to worry about any disasters."

Marica said, "If it's really that large, management alone would require rules as complex as laws, right? And if I'm right, the control of the spacecraft itself would also require extremely complex computing power."

Lani nodded: "Yes, it's not that simple. Just flying into the night sky and avoiding the stars in the night sky requires complex calculations and stargazing."

Marika groaned: "This requires a large number of knowledgeable people, and they need to cooperate with each other - there are not so many people in the academy, right?"

Wuming snapped his fingers, and Serei projected next to Wuming.

Wuming pointed at Serui: "Calculation power."

Marika was stunned: "What is this?"

Patch said, "To put it simply, it's a supercomputer that can manage the entire border in an orderly manner. Of course, it can also be used to drive a ship."

Marika stared at Wuming in a daze for a while, then turned around and pointed at Wuming and asked Ge Fulei:

"My king, can I kiss him?"

Ge Fulei was listening to the discussion and felt dizzy. After Marika said this, he suddenly woke up and said with embarrassment:
"it's not good?"

Marika looked at Wuming, her eyes filled with joy:

"Micaela is absolutely right. You are truly a noble person in the Borderland. You can actually make something like this."

Wuming laughed: "I don't have such a brain, this is Se Lian's masterpiece."

"Selian?" Marika was a little confused.

Wuming pushed Se Lian out and said proudly: "Our good employee, Se Lian."

Marika looked at Seren with a smile and unstoppable admiration in her eyes. She said to Man Yue:

"This achievement alone, kid, is more powerful than your full moon magic."

Man Yue tangled her hair and turned her head away in dissatisfaction, but she did not refute. In this situation, the effect of Man Yue's magic was indeed far inferior to that of Cerri.

Se Lian has always sneered at authority, but when he heard Marika praising him like that, his nose suddenly felt sore.

She had always wanted to surpass Man Yue and dreamed of defeating her.

Now, unexpectedly, Cheng Guo has been recognized and acknowledged by the Eternal Queen, and feels that he is stronger than Man Yue.

Se Lian suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes, lowered his head, and shrank behind Wuming.

Malika said happily:

"If we can really make a spacecraft of this size, we won't have to worry about the threat of falling stars."

Tops also suddenly raised his hand:
"I can solve the defense problem. The new generation of shields has been completed. With Serui's help, the effect and efficiency will be even better."

As everyone put their heads together, more and more problems were raised and solved. Things that seemed hopeless suddenly became hopeful.

Materials, supplies, size and defense, most of the problems Patch mentioned, have been solved.

Serei immediately measured the size of the golden tree and designed a renovation plan based on Patch's drawings.

There are still many specific problems to be solved in actual operation, such as the need to create a Serei and place it at the border and on the ship respectively, and a large number of star maps are also needed.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of these.

Kalia is willing to provide pyroxene crystals, and in order to meet Serlian's needs, observatories have already been built all over the place. The data from these observatories will be collected by Serui for analysis.

After more than a month of calculations and preparations, Serei's calculations stopped.

She found the Nameless and the Kings:

"Now there is a problem. According to the drawings provided by Patch, we can let the people of the borderland hibernate and provide a device that can let them sleep for a long time and prolong their lifespan. But if we want to accommodate all the creatures in the borderland, the size of this device is too large. It will occupy a lot of space of the golden trees. And if this happens, we will be short of energy."

Due to the special properties of the golden tree, it is both a material and a fuel. When it is hollowed out, it increases consumption and reduces energy.

Serei said, "I propose that the old man be left at the junction, and that will be enough."

Monggot asked: "What will happen to the border area after the golden tree leaves?"

Serui replied: "In order to obtain as much energy as possible, the roots of the golden tree will try to absorb the energy from the surrounding area. The border area will become much more desolate."

"An old man who can't take care of himself facing an even more desolate land?" Monggot said, showing that he was not satisfied with Serei's proposal.

Monger disagreed: "Old people don't have vitality, but old people have wisdom."

Serui said, "I suggest building a storage vault and having the old man's wisdom recorded by me. This way it will be easier to carry. When we go to a new place, it won't be difficult to revive due to the gap in civilization and knowledge."

Wuming frowned and asked Serei:

"Is there no other way? Can you improve Patch's drawings and make the device smaller?"

"That is beyond my ability," said Cerri.

"The hibernation chamber is not only for prolonging life, but also for buffering. A certain amount of space is needed to place the buffer so that people will not be smashed into pieces when the spacecraft is taking off or landing, or when the battle stops suddenly."

Serei said:
"At the same time, the elderly are thinner and need more buffer space. If we give up the frail people, we can get more space."

Serui said: "Besides, when the spacecraft takes off, some people need to be left on the ground. These people need to be below to command the spacecraft to take off and deal with emergencies. These people are destined to become victims, but the number of victims has increased from a few thousand to tens of millions. And although the border is more desolate, it is also more spacious. They are enough to live there until the end of their lives."

Everyone was silent. Although they understood that sacrifices were inevitable for such a big thing, they still felt uncomfortable making the decision.

At this time, the corrupt family members stood up:

"No need to bring the corrupt followers, we will stay at the border."

"Gwei?" Wuming looked over.

Corruption Dependents says:
"We bugs are more adapted to the wasteland. It's not a bad thing for us if humans leave."

Serei calculated:
"If all the bugs stay, 70% of the elderly can stay."

"It's almost the same." Patch said, "There must be many people who are reluctant to leave the border area, and many people are willing to stay."

"That's it," said Serei. "We'll start preparing, and we'll be able to set sail in about three months."

After the brief meeting, the kings began to rule the people under their rule and find those who were unwilling to leave.

Wuming cut off the communication, but remained silent.

He dialed the communication to the corrupt dependents again, and Gwei's face appeared in the projection.

"Is that true?" Wuming asked, "Can you survive if you leave Marennia?"

Wuming clearly remembered that when Malenia was curing the corruption, the insects died in large numbers.

Gwei was silent for a while, then said:

"But we don't want to see the goddess unable to leave and eventually be destroyed."

Gwei said: "We didn't help much when the star fell. Now it's time for us to contribute. And as long as the goddess is still alive, we corrupt followers will not perish. Where there is corruption, there will be bugs."

"Bugs really don't take their own lives seriously." Wuming laughed.

Gwei also smiled: "Who made us kidnapped by you? Millicent and Lady Marenia are under your protection. Please take good care of them. They are the hope of our tribe."

After ending the call, Wuming looked at the golden tree. The golden tree merged with the shadow tree, and the spiral tree was exceptionally thick and strong.

Soon, the kings received another communication request from Cerri.

Wuming contacted everyone.

"I have a new idea." Wuming said, "Maybe we can take everyone away. It will be safer and take up less space - without that device."

"What's up?" Patch asked.

Wuming rubbed his hands together: "I was thinking... people were so fragile when they were in the air because they didn't stick together. Can we make the lives at the border stick together?"

"What do you mean?" No one understood for a moment.

Wuming said: "Let life blend into one."

"Are you crazy?" Melina slammed the table and was the first to disagree.

Marika also frowned, "A melting pot?"

Unnamed explanation:

"Can't the golden tree return to the tree? We let everyone return to the tree, retaining their memories and souls, and their bodies will be absorbed by the golden tree and transformed into strength. This way, there is no need to worry about the fragility of the human body. When we reach our destination, the golden tree can carve us out."

"This..." After hearing this, everyone thought for a moment and looked at Queen Marika.

Marika nodded, "It can be done."

"Conduit tower?" Patch laughed. "You know what, this method really works. There is such a plan."

The plan immediately received unanimous support as it maximized the use of space and energy.

In order to improve fault tolerance, Serui still built some hibernation chambers, and the buffer solution in the hibernation chambers was replaced with the nutrient solution released after the golden tree absorbed humans.

In the golden tree, the body turns into the most basic nutrient solution, while the soul and skills are solidified in the tree.

All the problems were solved, and the unprecedented mega project started in full swing at the border area.

Some people who were originally resistant when they heard that they had to leave the border area were not at all averse to returning to the trees and continued to assimilate.

The entire border area was bustling with activity. Cerri recorded everyone's experience and knowledge. The golden tree roots continued to absorb the vitality of the border area. Underground, countless bronze snakes started to dig out pyroxene and gravity stone and sent them to Rodel.

The reconstruction work in the royal city and the border areas is no longer needed, and the spare labor has started new work, such as mining pyroxene, building observatories, and transporting different species to the golden tree.

Some of the corrupt followers still stayed, and they were responsible for helping Cerrui in the border area to deal with the problem of the golden tree boat taking off.

Everyone worked together towards this goal without any major setbacks, and Wuming instead felt a little bored.

Wuming sat with Patch, watching the busy crowd and the hearses transporting people back to the tree.

Wuming suddenly realized something: "Oh, so this is what the prophecy said."

"What prophecy?" Patch asked.

"Xia Bolili and Colin both said that I would melt all the creatures in the border area and turn everything into one." Wuming said.

"Oh, that's true," said Patch.

"What a pity, such a prophet should be very useful." Wuming sighed.

Patch smiled: "Some civilizations use these powerful oracles to navigate ships in the night sky and always find the right landing place accurately."

Wuming felt even more regretful after hearing this.

"There's no point thinking too much. Let's pack up and get ready to move," said Patch.

Wuming quickly ran to the convoy and helped carry the goods.

Three months later, the intersection that had once become bustling under Wuming's management has returned to silence again.

It seemed that there was no one walking around outside anymore.

People outside the border area also came to the border area spontaneously under the guidance of the guide.

Wuming climbed onto a city floating in the sky. This was the former capital of the ancient dragon, but it has now collapsed.

As a sky city that was once destroyed by the stars in the ancient times, there are quite a lot of power stones distributed here, and the ancient dragon provided a lot of help for this launch.

Wuming followed the ancient dragon's guidance, stepped on the gravel, and walked towards the center of the storm.

In the distortion of time and space, Wuming walked to a complete circular venue, as if it had never been damaged by the falling star.

The Dragon King Platon Shanks guards this gap in time and space, existing forever.

The Dragon King still wanted to stay in the gap between time and space, and did not intend to leave with the Golden Tree. However, after hearing about the falling star, the Dragon King also provided a lot of help.

Its dragon scales can cause time and space distortion, providing a lot of material for the Tops force field.

Wuming did not come here to find the Dragon King. He bowed to the Dragon King from a distance and walked to the edge of the circular venue.

Michaela was sitting cross-legged here with many objects placed around her.

According to Michaela, doing research here is ideal.

But when Wuming came over, he clearly saw Michaela playing with a black cat.

"The one from Latan?" Wuming said.

“Yes,” Michaela said.

"I thought you were doing an experiment." Wuming said.

"I have verified the stability of the Golden Tree Carving Remembrance." Michaela said, "No problem."

"Then what are you doing now?"

"Another little experiment," Michaela said, picking up a knife beside her, throwing it into the air, and holding out her hand.

The knife spun, the blade grazed Michaela's arm, and fell to the ground.

Michaela released another caterpillar and stretched her finger to the ground. The caterpillar squirmed, crawled to Michaela's fingertips, and curled up.

Michaela stretched out her finger again and poked the little black cat.

The little black cat stretched out its mouth and bit Michaela's finger.

Blood flowed from Michaela's fingertips and dripped onto the ground. In the eternal and unchanging place of the Dragon King, a sacred blood tree bud sprouted.

"What are you doing?" Wuming didn't understand.

"When you woke me up from my dream, it was this little guy who woke me up with his bite." Michaela said, "But it's strange, my charm ability is not only useful for humans. Logically, small animals shouldn't bite me - this little guy has a pair of green eyes, just like Roderica, the sacred beast of the Horned Man. It is very spiritual and immune to my charm."

"So what? I'm immune too," Wuming said.

"Yeah, you are immune too." Michaela smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

"It's almost time to go." Wuming said, "Remember to put the cat back to the tree."

"It's been three months already." Michaela said, "I really can't feel the passage of time here."

Michaela picked up the cat, bowed to the Dragon King, and left with Wuming.

From the Sky City, you can see that the golden tree is ready.

The spiral golden tree stood upright, as if trying to touch the gods. In order to reduce resistance, all the leaves of the golden tree withered, but the branches only merged and folded, and did not fall off. After reaching the night sky, these leaves will grow again, and they will absorb the energy of the night sky as much as possible, like a sail, driving the golden tree to move.

Those heroes with long lifespan and powerful strength will not return to the tree. They are responsible for dealing with various emergencies and protecting the golden tree.

Wuming and Michaela arrived at the spiral golden tree and walked into the golden tree through the light gate.

It’s still the same stone stage, but it’s very different now.

There are circles of images surrounding this place, showing various complex parameters and images of the outside world.

Standing on the stone stage and looking at the outside world is like standing on a platform in the air, with a panoramic view of the outside world.

"Okay, let's go." Wuming said, "Destination: the night sky."

The observatories at various locations in the border area were closely monitoring the starry sky and the posture of the golden tree, and constantly communicating with Serei inside the golden tree to verify functions and adjust postures.

After a while, all functions were tested normal.

The tall golden tree was surrounded by circles of purple light. Stones flew off against gravity around the golden tree.

The entire Yatan shook, the ground cracked, and thick tree roots were exposed.

The roots began to differentiate and shrink towards the golden tree, while at the same time turning into bright flames and spewing out large amounts of gas.

The golden tree rose from the ground with a roar, and the huge jet formed by its roots pierced the sky like a giant cone.
