Chapter 626: The Green Star
Chapter 626: The Green Star
At this moment, Li Wei once again took out his Clone Item Card and silently recited the name of Samoke in his heart. In the next second, a bare-chested giant standing thirty-five meters tall stood upon the ground. Its previous armor had all been completely lost in the Chaotic Storm, but fortunately, its Comprehensive Strength was still at the Fifth-Order Peak.
If it was hungry, tired, injured, or crippled, just feeding it one Life Core guaranteed an Instant Cure.
Because there was no Binding Activation, the connection between Li Wei and this clone was limited to a mental connection, and this was divided into three modes.
The first was Standby Mode. Li Wei only needed to consume one point of Spiritual Power per hour to have this Blood Plague Lord follow him around, or have this big guy carry him. Regardless, when it came to energy consumption, one could always trust the superiority of Blood Plague Zombies.
The second was Semi-Active Mode. Li Wei needed to consume 100 points of Spiritual Power per hour. This way, he could command this Blood Plague Lord Avatar to do some simple tasks within a 500-meter diameter area.
The third was Full-Active Mode. Li Wei's main body would enter the stomach of this Blood Plague Lord and synchronously activate Magic-Piercing Perception. Thus, he could exert full control over the Blood Plague Lord for the next 24 seconds, unleashing ninety percent of its true combat power!
In reality, this was also very powerful. After all, this was a Fifth-Order Peak Blood Plague Lord.
Right now, Li Wei was commanding the Blood Plague Lord Avatar to carry out a massive sweep on the ground.
Of course, after staying outside himself for a little while, he still decisively entered the Blood Plague Lord's stomach. The Blood Plague level outside started at Level 7; it was hard to withstand and the consumption was huge.
How could it compare to using the Blood Plague Lord Avatar to get things done? However, this required the Semi-Active Mode.The first thing to sweep up at this time was armor and weapons. Previously, there were massive amounts of Blood Plague Zombies in this street block, but they had basically been completely swept clean. Yet, the weapons and armor were still there. Although battered and broken, they weren't unusable if assembled together.
In a short while, Li Wei commanded the Blood Plague Lord Avatar to find a massive twenty-five-meter-long Spiked Club, a forty-meter-long Gigantic Spear, a Great Hammer, and a Massive Tower Shield with a large hole broken in it.
As for the armor, it was all too dilapidated. Li Wei tried to command and assemble it, but after putting in half a day's effort and consuming quite a bit of Spiritual Power, he still couldn't get it done.
It seemed they could only be recast anew.
Li Wei controlled the Blood Plague Lord, tying up all these battered Gear and storing them in the most conspicuous and sturdiest building on this street.
The surface of this building had almost been worn smooth to a polish, covered in marks from swords and axes. Yet for some unknown reason, even after weathering countless years, it still stood proudly.
"Hmm, let me think. Is this place a Divine Temple? Or was it an exchange?"
Li Wei rummaged through what he had seen and gained from his previous One-Second Memory Instance. Although he now felt like it was only one second, the more he recalled, the more details he could remember, even clearer than when he experienced it personally at the time.
Without a doubt, that Heaven-Blessed Archmage hadn't let him back so easily. He just couldn't remember it; that didn't mean nothing had happened.
For example, seeing this massive building now, related memories bubbled up.
"It's an exchange, no mistake about it. It's also the most famous exchange in this Green Twin Cities, and at the same time, the glory of the Old Aulsen Empire. Just like a landmark building of a region and country, such as the Eiffel Tower!"
Li Wei looked in surprise at the thoughts popping up in his mind. It truly was too miraculous.
"Well, I'll just use this place as my Outpost Safehouse."
Li Wei looked at the massive building before him, which even now was still a hundred meters tall. In fact, only the sturdiest part of this building remained.
Back in the day, this was an architectural complex that included twelve large auxiliary buildings, covering hundreds of thousands of acres with a total height of 1,200 meters.
That was the Green Star!
Oh, I remember now. At that time, this Blood Plague Lord—no, me—I once served as a Throne Guard outside this Green Star...
Damn it!
Have I become the Heaven-Blessed Archmage's experimental guinea pig?
Thoughts churned in Li Wei's mind. He remembered it now. After being discovered by the Heaven-Blessed Archmage, he was assigned here to serve as a Throne Guard. This was a supreme glory at the time.
And then... then even after being infected by the Blood Plague and turning into a Blood Plague Lord, I never left. I would guard this place day and night, simply because I... I had to wait for someone here. Wait for him, and then let him return to the past...
[Warning! Your Collective Sanity is plummeting sharply. Your Celestial Intuition buff forcefully awakens you. You need to adopt countermeasures, otherwise you will enter some kind of out-of-control state in three seconds!]
A blood-red message suddenly popped up, startling Li Wei awake. In the next second, he decisively equipped the Chaos Wolf title, forcibly resetting all his Sanity to zero. Only then did he feel as if he had broken free from drowning, his entire person nearly collapsing.
Holy crap!
What the hell was that?
Where did all those thoughts just now come from? The key point was that he had absolutely no warning signs!
So he really had become the Heaven-Blessed Archmage's guinea pig. But how could this be straightened out?
This Blood Plague Lord is me?
No, it's not me. This is merely my clone. I triggered a one-second mission utilizing its Life Core, and then—fuck, I can't think about it anymore.
The Heaven-Blessed Archmages are already dead and gone.
The Origin of Magic has already fallen into a chaotic, cataclysmic explosion. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop all this. The chaotic Origin of Magic will sever all connections and sever all lines of fate.
"Phew!"
Letting out a long breath, Li Wei's Collective Sanity slowly began to recover. As long as the Chaos Wolf title was equipped, it would automatically be unequipped after 30 seconds. In a sense, this was similar to an emergency circuit breaker mechanism, which was very easy to use.
About half an hour later, Li Wei's Collective Sanity returned to 110 points. There was no more than that; the rest had already been lost due to those thoughts earlier. Next, it could only be repaired or replenished anew.
However, interestingly enough, thinking about those thoughts again right now surprisingly had no effect.
For example, right now he could even leisurely deduce and evaluate them, as if entering Sage Time.
"What is certain now is the first point: it was truly vital that I didn't Bind and Activate the Avatar Card. Otherwise, I would likely have sunk into the abyss without any means of saving myself. Not all Profession Cards can be unconditionally Bound and Activated. This is a lesson learned."
"Second, I have always been me. Those little experiments conducted by that Heaven-Blessed Archmage were actually fulfilled on this Blood Plague Lord. Poor guy, I'm afraid he won't have a shred of peace for the rest of his life."
"Third, there is a portion of people who have had similar experiences. If they haven't Bound their Avatar Cards or whatever else, they should be fine. But if they are already Bound, one must be cautious and careful when encountering them in the future."
"Fourth, Collective Sanity truly is a good thing. I need more Collective Sanity."
Having regained his Collective Sanity and entered the Celestial Intuition buff, Li Wei felt a sense of Survival After Disaster. Next, he took out the Resource Card given to him by the Eldest Princess of the Red Dragon Empire, brought out some food, fresh water, and potions, and let himself recover his state. After taking a deep, heavy sleep, he finally restored all of his Spiritual Power.
At this time, he thought about it and still swapped his Heavy Armor Set for a Light Armor Set. This way, his Spiritual Power and Perception would be higher. In any case, he had no intention of leaving his Blood Plague Lord mecha anytime soon; he would just operate it to do the work.
The first step: gathering Resources.
Having sufficient Resources is extremely important at all times.
However, because the Chaotic Realm started off with Level 7 Blood Plague, coupled with the suppression of Tier-6 Immortal targets and the densely packed Blood Plague Zombies, massive amounts of Resources were just sitting there with no one daring to collect them recklessly.
And this was precisely Li Wei's greatest advantage at present.
Next, using the mode that consumed 100 points of Spiritual Power per hour, he controlled the Blood Plague Lord to scavenge along the way, placing all the scavenged supplies into the Green Star.
And during the scavenging process, whenever he encountered Blood Plague Zombies, regardless of their level or variety, he indiscriminately blasted them to death and seized their Life Cores, hoarding them up. These were all good things.
Any random one brought back to the Alliance of Heavenly Lords could be exchanged for a Six-Star Gold Card, or even a Seven-Star Gold Card or Eight-star Golden Card.
Currently, Li Wei had already stored away over ten thousand of them.
Bringing them back would mean over ten thousand Gold Cards.
This Chaotic Realm truly was a land of wealth. He super liked it here.
However, after every hour of work, Li Wei would command the Blood Plague Lord to return, because he had to ensure his Spiritual Power remained above the two-thirds safety line at all times.
This way, even if some accident occurred, it would be easy to react promptly.
Just like this, Li Wei only worked three hours a day before retreating back to the Green Star Safehouse, absolutely not being careless!
During this process, he would occasionally pay attention to a certain area. Because according to the previous information, there was an Outpost Safehouse built by friendly forces underground at this location. He could consider cooperating with them in the future.
But over the past few days, there had been no movement in this area, nor had Li Wei seen a trace of any living people, not even hearing the roars of Blood Plague Zombies.
In the blink of an eye, over a month passed just like this. Controlling the Blood Plague Lord, Li Wei had moved practically everything movable from this area, not even sparing some of the massive building ruins.
After all, surviving for over a hundred thousand years without weathering surely meant something.
These moved building ruins were piled up relying on the architectural layout of the Green Star, forming massive stone walls.
Speaking of which, the Green Star here wasn't actually very suitable to serve as a safehouse; it was too huge and extended in all directions.
A total of 108 massive stone pillars—whose material was unknown—each requiring five people to encircle, stood tall, each eighty meters high.
Above was the second floor of the Green Star's ruins, the whole resembling a gigantic pavilion.
The space beneath the pavilion was a full one hundred thousand square meters.
It was a good thing there were no competitors in this area; otherwise, Li Wei would have worried about the mountain-like piles of Resources he had scavenged back.
So his task now was to transport various building ruins and pile up the stone walls bit by bit. Sometimes, he even had to command the Blood Plague Lord to shoulder the Great Hammer to manufacture more building debris, keeping himself busily delighted.
