Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 603: Building a Territory, Starting from Conquering the Raging Flames

After clarifying the situation, Li Wei resolutely dispelled the thought of sneaking out.

But surrendering to the Neutral City wasn't a good choice either.

Then temporarily he could only consume time going on here, patiently waiting for an opportunity. This time, the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords sent out a total of ten Fourth-Tier Rangers. What if a few of the others succeeded? The Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords would very likely launch large-scale movements, and at that time perhaps it would affect here.

At that time he would see again if there was an opportunity to escape right.

As for now, the most urgent matter was still to find some things to eat and drink. He had a long Lifespan, but he still had to have food supply right.

"Adai, do you think that kind of Fire Loach is edible?"

Li Wei hit upon this idea at the first instance. As a result, the broad bean-sized Adai only tilted his head, his small eyes looking at him with pity. In the next moment, a crisp and pleasant, yet inexplicably familiar voice rang out in Li Wei's mind.

"I don't know, anyway I'm not hungry. I'm almost becoming an Energy Being now."

For a moment, Li Wei almost thought he had hallucinations, the kind from fainting with hunger.

But ultimately he still confirmed it was Adai speaking. However, this voice was the voice of his fiancée back then, the black-robed Witch Missy."Adai, can you tell me if you are still you?"

Li Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not too certain. Although Hathaway had also said it, and he had also dreamed about it in his sleep, but if truly one day Adai opened his mouth to speak, he would become Lord Ye of Li again!

"I have always been me, never changed. No matter what you call me, my Soul has always been there. It's just that in the past I was unable to communicate with you, until because a special kind of power existed on your body, I was only then able to communicate with you. George, all these years I have always been speaking to you, but you just couldn't hear it."

"George, no matter if you are Li Wei or George, and it also doesn't matter if I am Adai or Missy, destiny has already closely connected us, forever unable to separate."

"I have always been there. I know everything about you, and also participated in everything of yours. I watched you marry that bitch who killed my older sister Hathaway, watched you grow all the way into a great Duke. George, I know this is all you. I truly have so many things I want to say to you, but when that kind of power on your body no longer exists, we will return to our former state again."

Li Wei listened blankly, as if returning to that black-robed young girl he met in the Rookie Mission world over a hundred years ago. All this was still very profound and fantastical.

"Then you—I mean what state are you in now? You just said you're almost becoming an Energy Being."

"I also can't say clearly, or if I said it clearly you probably wouldn't understand either. If that bitch were here, she would actually be able to understand."

"You mean Hathaway, could she communicate with you previously?"

"Yes, she has always been able to communicate with me. But she is just a bitch; she fundamentally didn't help convey what I said to you. But I actually also came to terms with it; in the days without me, George, someone had to take care of you ah."

Li Wei blinked his eyes. Actually Hathaway had said it, that sooner or later one day Adai would turn into a woman and crawl into his blankets.

But, none of this had any meaning.

"Adai... okay, Missy, let's not say these. Regarding my current predicament, what suggestions can you give me?"

"Did you obtain a part of the Legacy of the Ancient Arad Empire?"

"George, I very much want to give you a suggestion, but to speak the truth, I think unless you become an Energy Being like me, otherwise there's no chance to escape this predicament. But rest assured, I will always follow by your side."

"Okay, then please talk about what's going on with this Energy Being first. No need for details, I only need to understand a rough idea." Li Wei said helplessly. This Adai was still a bit silly even if she became human.

"George, since you insist, of course I can. Energy Being is a subject researched by a Mage of the Ancient Arad Empire. He is the one who attempted to transform an ordinary Dragon Egg into an Ancient Ice Dragon. His experiment failed, but it also pointed out a new path, and that is the Ancient Ice Dragon Energy Being. This kind of energy structure just happens to have a certain degree of coincidence with my current state. Therefore I chose to give up my Hunting Pet fleshy body, instead turning into an Energy Being."

"My current strength is roughly still equivalent to a Seven-Star Hunting Pet, and also roughly equivalent to a Quasi-Fifth Tier in the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords, i.e., in some aspects reaching Epic, but mostly still Tier 4 Legend."

"My greatest advantage now is that I won't be harmed by any physical attacks below Tier-6 Immortal. Moreover, the magnitude of the bond between me and you is something you cannot experience, because if I leave your Collective Sanity, I fear my soul would scatter and fly away. The rest, I am still groping around in. In short it's roughly like this."

Understood!

Li Wei nodded, having a vague understanding of this so-called Energy Being. Thus he returned to the initial question again.

"Then, can you help me catch a few Fire Loaches?"

"Cannot, George. My current state cannot leave you too far. I already have no way to be like before again. This problem, might still need to go find an even more professional Mage to solve. Perhaps Second Aunt can, but there's truly no way at all."

"However George, as long as I am by your side, I can easily release Sequence Six Ice Magic, and At One's Whim, even surpassing many times over compared to before."

"Okay, I understand." Li Wei gave up. It seemed he could only think of a way himself. In fact, Missy's Energy Being had already helped him too much at this moment.

"But, I still need to think of a way to fish up a Fire Loach."

Li Wei pondered deeply, and then let Missy's Energy Being pull him to roam in the Lava like a living coffin. He wasn't anxious; he had plenty of patience.

First observe, confirm a good plan before striking.

Fortunately, Missy's Energy Being seemed to have near infinite mana. Pulling all along she wasn't tired, and even less would she have any wear and tear.

Li Wei, just like this, as if going for a drive to sightsee, Going in Circles within this massive earth fire Lava with a radius of five to six hundred li in one breath, strolled around for a full six months.

Truly achieved knowing every single area, every single Mining Squad, every single mountain peak, giant rock, and rock wall crevice like the back of his hand.

Even down to the Lava flow volume erupted from the Lava source, the Lava's flow speed and direction of dissipation, which area had Fire Salamanders, which area had Fire Loaches, which area had mutant Primal Chaos Beasts, he had also achieved knowing what to expect in his heart.

Thus, he only then began to formulate a fishing plan.

Because he noticed that these things, Fire Loaches, were usually very hard to discover. They all hid in the deepest layer of the Lava, merging into one entity with the Lava. But as long as they were disturbed, they would frantically launch an attack.

So under the premise of not wanting to attract people's eyes and ears, and not wanting to be discovered, he could only use subtle methods to fish them out.

Over this half year, Li Wei had actually found a hidden reef within this maze-like underground Ruins that could barely accommodate him.

Because whatever mountain rocks or mountain peaks were exposed above the Lava all had the danger of being discovered.

But this hidden reef was located roughly three meters beneath the Lava; it fundamentally couldn't be seen from the surface. This hidden reef originally should have been exposed above the Lava surface, but very likely encountered a violent battle a few years ago, thus being smashed and broken off, leaving behind several gap crevices.

These crevices were naturally covered by Lava at the first instance, and slowly became hard under the span of a few years.

However, after being discovered by Li Wei, he hollowed these Lavas out again, turning it into his temporary little nest.

And it was also during this process that he discovered that this kind of stone containing dense Earth Mana was actually not without flaws. Their strongest point lay in being a whole. As long as the whole had no cracks or crevices, then it would become a flawless whole, allowing external forces to bombard while remaining completely motionless.

But as long as this whole was broken and cracks appeared, instead it would be like a small hole pricked open in a balloon, leaking air.

Therefore under this kind of cognition, Li Wei held a Bloodthirsty Throwing Spear of Six-Star Quality, just continuously chiseling inwards like this. Ultimately he truly actually chiseled out a very large space.

But the pleasant surprise did not stop here, but rather the stone debris chiseled down.

Initially Li Wei didn't care and let the Lava melt them all. Following that he only then had a sudden flash of inspiration, having Missy help out, forming a large Ice Block behind himself, freezing the crevice entrance. He then chiseled, and first carried out freezing on these stone debris, then carried out melting. Tossing about a few times, he actually successfully let himself obtain a small lump of "soil" the size of a human head.

Yes, this was actually not soil, being separated from true soil by a hundred and eight thousand li, but the dense Earth Mana within was genuine and authentic.

In such an extremely harsh and scorching environment, wanting to obtain such a portion of "soil", that was truly too difficult.

"Missy, I want to keep this lump of soil. Can your Frost Mana withstand the consumption?"

Li Wei asked cautiously. This matter must rely on Missy, this Energy Being.

"No problem. My current Energy Being level is very high; dense Flame Mana will similarly be converted into Frost Mana by me. It looks like the consumption is large, but actually it's not considered much. But, George, are you planning to plant something? I feel this is very hard, bordering on impossible."

"I'm just attempting it. If it truly doesn't work, this will be my future food."

Li Wei smiled slightly. His mentality was very good, exceptionally good. In fact, ever since his Collective Sanity exceeded 100 points, even if he clearly knew this was a desperate situation, clearly knew he should be depressed and despairing, he just couldn't get depressed, and couldn't get despairing either. That kind of state where positive energy filled his whole body, and eight hundred ghost ideas popped up in a second, was truly too hard to describe.

At this time, he first changed into the Seven-Star Light Armor. Under the buff of this light armor, he was like suddenly going from 480P to 4K.

Following that, he opened Magic-Piercing Perception, directly raising his Perception to the highest. Under this state, he began to seriously observe and sense this lump of "soil" in his hand. But not for the sake of farming; although he was a 6-Star Farmer, it was also impossible for him to grow crops under the circumstance of not having seeds. This time, he wanted to rely on his super Perception, as well as his super Collective Sanity, using an objective, precise, and stable method to gain insight, to measure, and to explore the critical point between Earth Mana and Flame Mana.

To say it in plain words, it was searching for how to make this lump of soil in his hand turn into a Firebrick, which could very well maintain its shape, and also wouldn't be melted by the high temperature of the Lava.

The difficulty of this project was a myriad times simpler than the difficulty of growing crops from this lump of soil.

In fact, in less than ten seconds, Li Wei had already obtained the accurate answer.

Yes, the formula that even Missy, this Energy Being, couldn't get, he just obtained it like this.

He dared to bet, even if using the most advanced mechanical technology to measure and calculate, it would also just be like this.

Mm, this was a small step for him Li Wei, and also his first step towards becoming a Flame Lord. If he wanted to survive in this ghost place, he had to start by conquering the raging flames first.
