Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 490: Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea (Bonus /10 for Alliance Leader Hongyue)

The night passed uneventfully.

At dawn, Li Wei woke up in his tent in the temporary camp. The space beside him was already Utterly Empty, leaving only a lingering fragrance.

Hehe, this life was truly beautiful.

Unfortunately, this was an Age of Great Strife.

Changing into a set of perfectly tailored clothes, Li Wei stretched lazily. The craftsmanship of a Five-Star Tailor went without saying.

In the distance, the sound of hoofbeats like rolling thunder shattered the tranquility of the early morning.

Stepping out of the tent, Li Wei saw twenty-two Heavy Cavalry galloping over under the bright morning sun. The person in the lead wore black armor and a black helmet, but beneath them was a majestic, fiery red Warhorse. It was like a ball of flames rushing toward him; this scene was extremely impactful!

Of course, it was like this for Li Wei. For others whose Perception wasn't high enough, or who didn't have Perception, even if they were a Four-Star Class-holder, at this moment they would feel as if all the sunlight had been concentrated and then refracted over. Everything around them would turn grey and white, and the sky and earth would be filled with aurora. They couldn't help but panic, their minds would become chaotic, and even their thinking would become sluggish.

This, however, was a Legion Skill newly combined by the Blazing Legion led by Li Yue. It incorporated the Delusion Breaking attribute and was especially adept at attacking the opponent's Perception.

Over these past days, during the daily patrol and guard duties, Li Yue would bring half of the Cavalry and attempt to activate and unleash the Legion Skill with the minimum number of people as a form of training.So the scene just now was actually the remnant of their successful release of the Legion Skill. If it was already exuding such Overwhelming Presence, one could imagine how shocking it would be to face the true Legion Skill head-on.

At this moment, Li Wei stepped forward, helping Li Yue hold the Warhorse, his face full of smiles. "Congratulations. I feel like this Legion Skill of yours is about to reach grand completion."

"It's passable. The main issue is that the Destiny Resonance aspect is still not quite compatible. But honestly, we really can't ask for too much. If any three of their Destiny Grids could reach 70, then the unleashing of this Legion Skill would be stunning."

Li Yue casually took off her helmet, revealing a confident and vibrant face. She had truly undergone Nirvana Rebirth now. It seemed the enhancement the Legion Skill brought her was also extraordinary. Additionally, she had already replaced the Poison Scorpion Codename; she now held the Iron-Blooded First-to-Scale Codename.

Although this would cause her personal strength to drop by a certain margin, it was more conducive to unleashing the Legion Skill.

"Mountain Eagle Parker is urging us again, hoping we'll head south to help defend Kahndorf Fortress. At the very least, we must dispatch the Blazing Legion. What do you think?"

At this time, Li Yue walked side by side with Li Wei, speaking in a casual tone.

"Of course, we must fully cooperate. But as for when we head south, that will depend on the processing situation of matters on our side, or if Mountain Eagle Parker helps us build a Magic Power Mine."

Li Wei spoke solemnly. Li Yue was left speechless, then suddenly whispered rapidly, "I have good news to tell you. Your so-called big fish has probably taken the bait."

Hearing this, Li Wei smiled silently and said nothing, as if nothing had happened.

Because everything was within his expectations.

After all, his +19 Perception now wasn't just for show.

Yes, that's right. Over the past three-plus months, he had casually upgraded both the Hunter Card and Woodsman Card to Five-Star. Now it had become 5+5+5+4+1.

Did they really think he was just an old Farmer who only knew how to bury his head in farming?

Without some skills, he couldn't even farm in peace.

After having breakfast with Li Yue, the latter continued leading the team for training and patrols, occasionally unleashing a few Legion Skills. This was certainly training, but it was also flexing their muscles.

Over the past three months, Li Wei hadn't stepped half a pace out of the farmland. It could be expected that the outside of the Temporary Territory had almost been completely scouted out by the Fourth-Tier Scouts under Kahndorf, the Fourth-Tier Scouts under Mountain Eagle Parker, and even the Neanderthal Scouts and Samsara Traveler Scouts.

Li Wei had no time to participate in this surely intense and brilliant Scout war, but he had to give these Scouts a little shock, making them confirm one thing: unless a massive army came attacking, any Elite Squad attempting to forcefully attack or raid here would be doing so in vain.

This was Li Yue's role.

Without the deterrence of her and the Blazing Legion, the construction of those two Medium Fortresses and four Small Fortresses couldn't possibly have gone so smoothly; they would have been disrupted eight hundred times a day.

Because no Scout wanted to expose themselves for no reason, especially when no one knew if there were hostile Scouts hiding nearby.

At this time, Li Wei arrived at that farmland again. Only one hundred acres of corn remained here. The nearly four-meter-tall corn stalks formed a thick green curtain, blocking all prying eyes. Now, as long as these Magic Corns were harvested immediately, their quality would all be Four-Star, which belonged to the extremely awesome category.

However, when Li Wei arrived deep within this cornfield, he saw Chekhov and Liu Huan busily working here in full swing. On the ground, exactly one hundred pieces of Five-Star Stone Mine encircled a spacious area.

"How's the situation?"

"Reporting to My Lord, your brilliant plan is truly unparalleled. Since yesterday, that source constantly injecting pure Mana has disappeared; the other party couldn't hold on anymore. Now, under the suppression of the Central City foundation and the effect of these one hundred acres of Four-Star Magic Corn, this area has initially formed a Mana Vacuum Zone with an area of one square kilometer."

"Next, as this Magic Corn gradually matures, this Mana Vacuum Zone will become increasingly pure, equivalent to us creating a temporary, localized Low-Magic world."

"And just now, we've already used the Five-Star Stone Mine to encircle this place. Next, we will immediately deploy and construct the Magic Power Mine. It will be finished before dusk today."

Chekhov answered with a face full of admiration.

"There are no technical problems, right?"

Li Wei smiled.

"No problems. The hardest part of building a Magic Power Mine is not knowing the magic structure; it's equivalent to not having the blueprints for building a car. But previously in the Flame Territory, Second Aunt and Lady Hathaway had already given us detailed explanations on this. There won't be any problems in this regard."

"The only thing we need to worry about right now is our plan being seen through by the enemy. If they suddenly injected over five hundred units of pure Mana like it's free at this time, directly collapsing the Low-Magic zone we created, then we'd be finished."

"Of course, considering that over the past three months the other party always injected Mana at night, this possibility is not high."

"Alright, you guys continue. I'll act as your Guardian Vigil!"

Li Wei nodded, then calmly changed into Light Armor, took out his five-star enchanted longbow, and prepared for battle.

Everything in the Temporary Territory remained as usual today, but apart from Li Yue, only the three of them knew about this plan.

This was their plan to Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea.

The difficulty of building a Magic Power Mine in a Medium Magic World was too high.

It was as dangerous as connecting electrical wires in a room with a very complex and highly active electromagnetic environment. There were no insulators at all, how could you connect them?

So it had to be a Fourth-Tier Mage to achieve it, and even then, it wasn't that easy.

This was presumably also one of the true reasons why Mountain Eagle Parker and Falcon Karl were certain they could contain Li Wei. Without a Magic Power Mine, what city are you defending? What the hell can you develop?

Without a Magic Power Mine, you can't even craft a Magic Crest, nor can you forge Enchanted Equipment. The Enchanted Giant Ballistae and Enchanted Trebuchets only have a three-shot capacity. What do you have to oppose us with?

From the beginning, Li Wei had planned to stall as much as possible, stall until Hathaway returned, and he had also made preparations for a major battle. Or at worst, he'd admit defeat and join Mountain Eagle Parker's Faction at any cost.

Because he knew that as long as Hathaway returned, his Temporary Territory would definitely be able to deploy and construct a Magic Power Mine at the fastest speed.

It was like a gamble, a gamble that had to be taken.

But he didn't expect that Chekhov and Liu Huan could bring him such a massive surprise.

Or rather, it was a surprise and miracle created together by all of them.

Including everyone who was in the Flame Territory at this moment.

Because without snatching the Five-Star Stone Mine back then, it would be impossible to suppress the Mana, let alone maintain a Mana vacuum state.

Without Li Yue leading the Blazing Legion to flex their muscles outside, it would be impossible for Li Wei to stay cooped up at home farming for several consecutive months.

If he hadn't farmed, Chekhov and Liu Huan's Mana monitoring couldn't possibly have discovered that Mana Fluctuation curve.

Even without the godly assist from that unknown Samsara Traveler Infiltrator hiding among the captives, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

In a word, the foundation on Li Wei's side was simply too profound. Just these two items—the Five-Star Stone Mine and the Natal Farmer Card—were not things just anyone could possess.

And now, his Temporary Territory was about to possess a Magic Power Mine. Once built, it was equivalent to a breakthrough, equivalent to the electrical wires being connected and ready to throw the switch to send power.

Yes, this Mana Vacuum Zone was similar to this process.

Who would dare to connect wires without turning off the power?

Who would dare unless they were an expert?

Unless you're a Fourth-Tier Mage, who would dare to directly build a Magic Power Mine in a non-vacuum Mana environment?

Wasn't that courting death?

But now, all obstacles had been cleared.

On this day, the territory was calm and tranquil.

But also on this day, Mountain Eagle Parker sent several consecutive messages, fiercely ordering Li Wei to dispatch the Blazing Legion south, otherwise he would get angry.

But Li Wei paid absolutely no attention to it, and the envoys sent couldn't find him either.

He only focused on the operations of Chekhov and Liu Huan.

From early morning to noon, from noon to dusk.

Finally, Chekhov and Liu Huan let out long sighs of relief, looking up with beaming smiles.

"My Lord, Mission Accomplished! The Magic Power Mine has been built. Although our level isn't worthy of scoring, the two of us reckon that out of a perfect score of 100, we'd get at least 99 points, because this was an open-book exam!"

"Very good. Shall we upgrade it immediately now?"

"That's not necessary, My Lord. As soon as this Magic Power Mine is built, it's Three-Star. We can immediately remove this ring of Five-Star Stone Mine. As long as it's connected to Mana, this Magic Power Mine can be put into use. It can seamlessly connect with all the Enchanted Giant Ballistae and Enchanted Trebuchets in the territory, including the Enchanted Blacksmith Workshop."

"But before that, we still need My Lord to harvest these one hundred acres of corn!"

"Next, we only need to accumulate 500 units of Standard Magic Power, and it can cover a Battlefield with a radius of five kilometers. We don't dare say more, but if the enemy only has a force of a thousand men, we can absolutely defend it!"

"Can we build another Magic Power Mine? Build the second Magic Power Mine in the Central City?"

At this time, Li Wei suddenly asked.

This immediately startled Chekhov and Liu Huan, and then they both laughed happily.

Before this, they certainly didn't have this confidence, because without the one hundred acres of cornfield helping to absorb Mana and create a Mana Vacuum Zone, this matter was truly too difficult.

But, if they already had a Magic Power Mine, and most importantly, if they had enough Five-Star Stone Mine for suppression, then of course it wasn't a problem.

Two Second-Tier Casters, two Magic Power Mines, tsk tsk, cheer; the enemy will definitely cheer for us.

"Rest assured, My Lord, you don't need to act as our Guardian Vigil next. No matter how bad we are, under the premise of already controlling one Magic Power Mine, building a second one is still no problem."

Chekhov and Liu Huan smiled at each other. It truly felt like they were Vindicated and Proud.
